Does BT Openzone work for you?

I live in Central London and work in the City so I often find that my iPhone has connected to BT Openzone or The Cloud if WiFi is on.
The reason I usually discover this is that it is taking an age to download something or to move to the next page in Safari. I usually have to switch off WiFi in order to get the much faster connection I can get in 3G.
There is Cloud WiFi at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and that appears occasionally on the phone but I can never get any downloads during a match via Cloud or 3G.
All in all, it seems to me that the public wi-fi connection to the iPhone is useless and the only useful such connection is a personal/corporate one.
What are other people's experiences? Am I doing something wrong?

Has anyone been able to get "DVR Manager" (go to Verizon's web site>My Verizon>Manage My TV, scroll down to "DVR Manager", click "Manage") to work? I always get the error" "We are having trouble communicating to your Set Top Box.".
I just had FIOS installed (TV, internet, phone) last week. Everything is working great. Except this. I've researched/tried lots of things unsuccessfully. "Home Agent" doesn't know DVR Manager exists. Neither does the online Automated Agent. I tried Verizon's online chat help, but their suggestions didn't help either. I'm wondering if it works for anyone, or is it some discontinued-but-still-advertised feature.
If DVR Manager works for you, please tell me what you did to get it to work.

Yes, has worked for years. And while I don't use it very much, I just checked, still works fine.
Have you gone into the Menu on the DVR and set up the FiOS TV Remote DVR dialog? If not, you need to do so. You will need to set up a Parental Control PIN to access the dialog if you have not done so.
Menu ==> Settings ==> FiOS TV Remote DVR ==> Web Access ==> and enable it (at least that is what I remember you had to do at that point)
Hope this helps.

Vinagre vnc client -- does the scaling work for you?

hello fellaz,
i tried vinagre from aur (both vinagre and vinagre-tweak) but scaling option was disabled, although i think it should work (gtk-vnc has been compiled with --with-gtkglext=yes). does it work for you?
thanks for reply,
joe

my self-built packages don't work with scaling aswell.
however, vinagre should be in extra anyway, as it is officially part of gnome 2.22, so it should be in gnome-extra.

How does After Effects work for you guys?

Love to hear feedback!

After Effects has been a stable and fabuously fun, ultimatley indispensible and valuable application on all of my Macintoshes since After Effects was called CoSA.
If you're looking for complaints, try asking, "What will not work for me in After Effects?" But that will depend on your hardware and your ability to learn this unbelievably deep and complex application.

Does my applet work for you?

I can see it fine on my PC but nobody else can view it.
http://www.info.com.ph/~arivera/game/testmain.html
I'm using SDK 1.4.2

I'm trying to learn how to use
MediaTracker right now - having some kind of problem
where I try and wait for all the images to load but it
would still run without having loaded everything.
I usually just use a boolean status, and while the "loaded" boolean is false, I dont even let the other game code run. Quick example:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Example extends Applet implements Runnable {
     Image buffer,images[];
     int w,h;
     boolean loaded;
     public void init() {
          loaded = false;
          w = getSize().width;
          h = getSize().height;
          buffer = createImage(w,h);
          new Thread(this).start();
     public void run() {
          while (true) {
               if (!loaded) { // not loaded?
                    loaded = load(); // try to load the images
               else {
                    // game processing
               Graphics g = buffer.getGraphics();
               if (g != null) paint(g); // try an active render
               else repaint(); // passive rend if active fails
               try {
                    Thread.sleep(10);
               catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    break;
     /* you should use a boolean loader so you can know
     * if the load fails or not */
     protected boolean load() {
          images = new Image[] { // images to load
               getImage("sprite.gif"),
               getImage("background.gif"),
               getImage("level.gif"),
               getImage("whatever.gif")
          MediaTracker m = new MediaTracker(this);
          for (int j = 0;j < images.length;j++) {
               m.addImage(images[j],j);
          try {
               m.waitForAll();
          catch (InterruptedException e) {
               return false; // there was an error, load failed
          /* the final step is to return whether or not MediaTracker didnt have a problem */
          return !m.isErrorAny(); // hopefully will return true
     protected Image getImage(String s) {
          return getImage(getCodeBase(),s);
     public void paint(Graphics g) {
          Graphics gfx = buffer.getGraphics();
          if (!loaded) {
               gfx.setColor(Color.black);
               gfx.fillRect(0,0,w,h);
               gfx.setColor(Color.white);
               gfx.drawString("Loading...",10,10);
          else {
               // game painting
          g.drawImage(buffer,0,0,null);
     public void update(Graphics g) {
          paint(g);

I think the applet works if you have JRE 1.4 or above.
My friends can't seem to view it - so I'll put a note
on the webpage saying it requires JRE 1.4 or above.Well if you're sure you're using methods and classes that are available to previous versions of JRE, you can use the -target attribute to fix that problem. Like if you wanted JRE 1.2 and higher to run the applet instead of just 1.4, you'd compile:
javac -target 1.2 file.javaBy default JDK1.4 will compile it so only JRE1.4+ can view it (which means you'd need the plugin).

Does LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT still work for you?

Those of you who have AIGLX-capable video hardware: can you still force accelerated indirect rendering for OpenGL stuff, using LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1, without X freezing solid? Or does LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT cause a lockup?

Hmm, so this might be a little late to ask but I never really understood what actually happens when the driver detects AIGLX capable hardware and displays somehting like this in Xorg.0.log:
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/r200_dri.so
(II) GLX: Initialized DRI GL provider for screen 0
Does it use AIGLX or the regular DRI preferably? What about these btw:
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:00:10.0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 8

Sorry, also want to ask someone before I go diggin in myself once.
Most importantly, yes LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1does still affects the Xserver. It is switching to indirect rendering as glxinfo suggests while most OpenGL apps such as neverball run just fine still. Sorry, didn't try beryl or anything heh. This is on a mac though using archppc, similar setup what goes for versions though.

Does font-replacement work for you?

To set up this test:
1) Disable the MarkerFelt-Thin and GillSans fonts.
2) Start a new keynote, and choose a theme (I used 'gradient' but the rest have the same problem). You get an error that the fonts are missing.
3) Go to the master slides and change them to some font that you have. A simple Ctrl+a and font reassignment should do it. If you're on a bullet, make sure the bullet is not also GIllSans or MarkerFelt.
4) Save and close. Reopen.
PROBLEM: The fonts are still reported as missing, even though you assigned new fonts to the slides. You can go back over and over, and Keynote still says they are missing.

Are you changing the font defaults for the text element and shapes as well?
Keynote (and Pages) will allow you to set the fonts for spaes (as well as the color/texture) and it will also have a setting for the text you can place on the slide (which is not part of the normal body or title text)
Gerry
You can save yourself some trouble on this project by deleting all but one master slide to do your testing on. Much easier than changing it on ever single slide, at least for a test.

How does time machine work for you ?

TimeMacine writes two files per time block and sometimes one like it should.
When I look over drive with Finder it seems okay to me. The plist telling
it which files are not included seems okay. The killer when I try to see what
could be restored TimeMachine silently fails to open.

Do you mean the "Star Wars" display won't appear? If so, see #E4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If not, please clarify.

Does xf86-video-intel-git work for you?

I have a Lenovo R61 laptop with intel chipset, and i used to use xf86-video-intel-git from aur :
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18678
since last week it needed packages from new xorg. I installed new xorg from testing, build it and when i installed i could not use x. When i roll back to 2.9 from testing everything is fine.
Does the git driver work for you or is it broken for some chipsets(can't really remember of mine right now)?
edit: my chipset is GM965/GL960.

It sounds to me like either one of two things happened to you mechmg93. Either some incompatibility crept in with the new X server or your configuration became obsolete. Either way I think that this discussion is better with others that have [testing] enabled. Moving.

MythArchive. Does it work for you?

I have mythtv setup and everything working for me except this piece. I've been fighting this for some time. At first mytharchive simply would not start. I outputted to a log and it said that the output to dvd had not been compiled in. This was from the prebuilt packages in the Arch repos. So I downloaded the source and compiled. Then I was able to select what I wanted to archive and all, but it gave me errors when it actually got to the transcoding portion. Some unknown variable name, sorry I've forgotten the exact because its been awhile. So finally I decided to download the source for everything and compile that. Well I can't get mythplugins to compile, because of unknown variable errors during the make. At this point I have surrendered.
My question is simply this. Does it work for you with the latest releases? How did you install? Arch Packages? Compiled from source?

I had to get it working by compiling it myself i.e. using the mytharchive PKGBUILD, putting it in an empty directory and running makepkg.
This version of mytharchive requires make clean on each build, or, as I did, it needs to be built from a clean directory. See this for more details..... http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/229431

Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?

Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?
I can only apply it on an existing stroke but can't draw a new one with the selected profile. In fact if I change the profile to other than the default Uniform I also can't draw a new stroke with any other width than the default 1 point. This doesn't seem normal.
Using SC5 on a PC.

Another question on the same topic.
Once I add a new profile to the list is it possible to put it on top of the list. I need this because the Adobe people decided to put the list in a tiny scrollable window with only a few of the first profiles showing. If there is noting in the interface may be I have to modify some program files settings?

Does the RSS feed for Dev Forums work for you?

Does the RSS feed (lower right corner of the screen)
http://discussions.apple.com/rss.jspa?feed=rss/rssmessages.jspa?forumID=727
work for you? I tried to add the URL to one of the RSS readers on my iPhone but none could identify a working feed. Any hints?

Well, I think they just got the RSS image link wrong. The correct link is:
http://discussions.apple.com/rss/rssmessages.jspa?forumID=727
Works fine in all readers.
(I still wonder how others have gotten the link I initially posted working... )

HT4557 Does home sharing work for apps? The instructions make it sound as though home sharing really only allows you to stream content.

Does home sharing work for apps? My young son received iPad mini for Christmas, and I don't want him to have to repurchase the games and other raps I'd already bought for him that are resident on my iPad.

does Home Sharing allow you to copy any item begtween libraries, including CDs you have ripped yourself
It certainly allows you to copy ripped CDs. Just did that myself last week.

How's Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?

This is the first thread on the new Adobe Media Encoder forum, so I thought that it would be appropriate to open it up by just asking a general question:
How is Adobe Media Encoder CS5 working for you?
Please be sure to install the Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (5.0.1) update. Instructions for updating are included in this post about the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update.
If you're having a specific problem that you want help with, or if you have a specific question, please start your own thread on this forum. This thread is intended for general feedback about how Adobe Media Encoder CS5 is working out for you.

First of all IT IS GREAT and I use it a lot I also used the CS4 version before!
But I have to report two issues about version CS5:
1. I bought the English version of the production premium CS5 but I have a German operating system (win7 64bit) all other adobe application are in English except Adobe Media Encoder it shows up in German language! Not a show stopper but should be fixed.
2. Recently I wanted to encode a video into an h264. I made some custom settings for that and the encoded video played very stuttered in Microsoft Media Player 12 (like 12fps instead of 25fps [settings were set correct in AME]) but fine in Quicktime and VLC Player (execpt for the gamma bug but that's an other story...)
I did a lot of testings and found the issue! Sometimes when you change a lot of the h264 settings (don't know when it happens exactly) Media Encoder seems to not set the fps correctly allthough AME shows 25fps in it's settings this setting is not encoded into the final file!
Quicktime and VLC seems not to care about the missing information but Windows Media Player gets confused.
It does not happens when using a preset in AME it only happens when changing a lot and using custom settings!
You can see the missing fps setting when right clicking the encoded file and choose properties (german:Eigenschaften) switch the tap to Details and there is no fps setting in the stuttering files but when encoded with a preset in AME there is the correct 25fps setting!
I have attached a screenshots to demonstrate it:
My workaround so far was to choose a preset with 25fps and close to my desired settings and change as few as possible - Fingers crosses and with a chance of 3/4 I was able to encode a working file containing the fps setting in it which plays perfect in Microsoft Media Player!
I hope you take a look into this issue because if you have a long file and you have to encode it again because it fails....... uiuiui
Thanks Todd for the possibility to give this direct feedback to Adobe
This is real support!

It worked perfectly for me for a year until I replaced it with Apple TV.
Having said that, I can't guarantee that it will work with every app. Give it a shot and try it immediately. If it doesn't work with the app(s) that are important to you, return it for a refund.
By the way, I did find that the Apple TV does support every app that the cable did but no additional apps. Although it does have other bennies, for this purpose it's an "electronic cable."

Does this video work for everyone?

my client is telling me the video on the home page doesn't
work. it works fine for me. can everyone test it and tell me if its
not working for you? and if not, what computer, os, browser you are
using?
http://www.mrrogershood.com
thanks in advance,
brad

I don't know, but it works fine for me. I suspect changing
the keyframe was
important. But then I'm not a Flash expert. One thing you
might do is make
sure the client RELOADS the page so they're not seeing the
cached old page.
Also, the needs to be clicked twice, once to activate it, the
other to start
it. Maybe they're not doing that?
Just some thoughts.
