Few questions about my new Lumia 920

Hi.
First of I'm loving the new phone. I bought it outright and I'm currently using my rolling contact in it. I'm on EE in the UK.
I too have had a few hard restarts but I find it's when I'm installing an app. Fingers crossed a software update will sort out this problem.
Anyway a couple of quick questions. Is there a way I can turn of the Facebook pictures appearing in my photo's ? Also is there a way of turning of the notification bar at the top of the phone when a text message comes in ?
Many thanks in advance,
Mythril.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Facebook albums can only be removed from the gallery if you remove the facebook account from the phone. You can use the facebook app instead but facebook will no longer be linked to your contacts in the people hub.
There is no way to stop the message pop up yet, Microsoft has yet to add an option to stop it.

Few questions about my new mac book? im new to mac

#1. Im new to mac so i dont know a whole lot about them but today while browsing the web i got a window that opened that said "browse your mac with Mackeeper to clean it and make sure its safe and to optimize your performance" I didnt click on anything but it wouldnt let me exit out i had to force quit my Safari to get it to go away. What is this?
#2. What do i need to do to keep my mac from getting slow and getting viruses? the most i really do on it is typing work, checking email, watching you tube, social networking on facebook, and browsing forums (forums like this where i can ask questions or share my experiences on certain things) if im not doing any of that im on websites like bestbuy or Cabelas or Bass pro shops doing online shopping. Every so often i have to do online research but not often. do i have much to worry about?
#3. Im on my computer everyday what is better for it? Leaving it turned on 24/7 since i mainly use it at home plugged into the wall turning it on in the morning or whenever i get on and shutting it down before bed? or turning it on and off throughout the day as i get on and off?
#4. When the computer is plugged in the battery says it only has a 96% charge.. its brandnew shouldnt it be at 100%? even though so far i havent really used the battery?

1. The popup you received should be ignored, you were wise to ignore it. It is well publicized in other forums. I'd recommend looking over:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3029144?tstart=0 for a more thorough explanation.
2. There are zero, none, nada, zip Virus's for Macs so the best thing you can do is simply enjoy it. There is no maintenance that is necessary either, everything you were used to doing with a PC is now in your past! OS X is designed to do daily, weekly and monthly maintenance on it's own in the background usually in the middle of the night. Nothing other than that needs to be done. You can download and install Maintidget at:
http://www.giantmike.com/widgets/Maintidget.html this will show you when these scripts were last run.
3. As for what is best for your computer I'd recommend reading the owners manual that came with it. Because you have a portable it has a battery that needs to be maintained. Please read the following articles on the care of your battery, it needs to be exercised. Leaving it plugged in 24/7 shortens it's life so please read the articles especially the article on calibration.
Batteries , Battery Calibration , Battery Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
4. Also because you are new to Mac's I'd recommend bookmarking and reading the following sites, they're specifically for folks like yourself that are considering or have changed from MS Windows.

A few questions about my new A720

Hi everyone,
I just got myself an IdeaCentre A720 (VDT8UGE) because I love the idea of a touchscreen combined with a 27" screen and the special hinge.
For the most part it works fine and it simplified my home setup a lot (much less cables now). However it also introduces some new problems. I was wondering if anyone here has some suggestions to any of the following issues:
- The screen coloring is very yellow-greenish and there is no way of adjusting it from the screen itself. I used the nVidia control panel to correct this and it looks OK now but the coloring on the HDMI output is a bit off due to this.
- The HDMI IN is a great idea in my opinion. I plugged in my old machine (a pure gaming machine with a GTX) and it works fine. But is there a way to listen to the audio from HDMI IN? I set the source PC's audio to HDMI Out but it didn't help. Windows doesn't show me any audio source either. For now, I have connected a 3.5mm audio cable but I'm sure there's a more elegant solution to this.
- The system sometimes boots but the screen doesn't turn on. I haven't found any way to reproduce this, it just happens randomly. I suspected it might have something to do with HDMI Out (because I have it connected at all times) but I was unable to find any setting regarding this. I also tried to boot into UEFI to look for such a setting but I couldn't figure out how to do that.
- There's some weird noise coming from the built in Bluray drive when I insert a CD and it also makes some noise whenever I switch the system on. It almost sounds as if there's a disc in there but it isn't. Is this normal behavior? I'm asking because this is the first time that I have a PC with this kind of trayless optical drive.
- According to the spec sheet the camera can shoot at 720p. Is this some sort of joke? I don't want to flame here, but the camera quality is ludicrously bad. Seriously, it's not even 240p. Am I doing something wrong here? Is it just some bug in the Windows 8 camera app?
I hope someone can help on at least any one of these things.

Seems like nobody else has any of these issues but nonetheless, I'd like to keep this thread up to date if you don't mind. Hopefully this will be useful to someone in the future.
Camera
So today I called Lenovo Support (really friendly and helpful by the way!) and as for the camera, I was asked to try some other software like Skype instead of Windows 8's Camera App.
So I used VLC to show me the camera video. And guess what - it's 720p! Quality still isn't great but it's MILES ahead from what I've seen in the aforementioned Camera app. So that's one problem "found" at least. I still need to verify if Skype is affected. Perhaps this problem only affects Modern UI apps and not desktop apps.
Blank screen
The second thing I asked about was the blank screen. Unfortunately this is apparently not any known issue so the support couldn't help much but only suggest to try a factory reset. I'll hold off on that though because I spent the last three days to set everything up. I'll try to remember to remove the HDMI cable prior to switching the device on from now on and see if that helps (yes, I changed my mind - I think it's HDMI related again).
Coloring
The third and last thing I asked was about the display coloring. There's no way of "saving" the coloring mode but they are aware of this and there MIGHT someday be a patch. I wouldn't count on it though and I think there's a higher chance of my eyes simply adopting to the weird coloring at some point.
While it's surely unfortunate that some of these problems seem unsolvable, I'm still glad that there's only minor issues left now. Also the phone support was quite good and I feel confident that they'll help me if I ever have some other problem in the future.
I'd be glad if Lenovo takes all these things to heart and improves them on the next model. In my humble opinion, this is pretty much the best touchscreen AIO on the market. Oh and while you're at it, please put a USB 3.0 port to the left hand side of the display for the next model, the one on the base is barely usable if HDMI cables are plugged in.

Few questions about my new MA

Just got my MA, and love it so far but a few things have me a bit lost. Firstly, I was trying to install Google Chrome but it won't install, it just appears as a disk on my desktop when I download it. I can run it, but I would rather not have a bunch of icons for programs sitting on my desktop.
Also, moving from a MB Pro to this has been a change. On my MB I could see my HD right on the desktop, but with my MA I can't. Is there a way to put that onto my desktop?

Double click the disk icon. Then press Command + N to open a new Finder window. Select the Applications folder from the sidebar. Then drag Chrome's icon from within the disk image to the Applications folder. You can then eject the disk by dragging its desktop icon to the trash (it will turn into an eject symbol), and Chrome will remain in your Applications folder.
To see the HD, go to Finder > Preferences, for "Show these items on the desktop," make sure Hard disks is selected.

A few questions about the Nokia Lumia 810 for T-Mo...

I recently upgraded from the Nokia E73 Mode to the Nokia Lumia 810, my first ever "smart phone" and I'm already having problems which I hope can be clarified in this forum/thread.
1. Supposedly this phone supports USB "drag & drop", but it doesn't seem to fully work for me. An example, with my previous phone I connected via USB cable and dragged computer files (Audio, Video, and Images) from my computer to the memory card of my phone. I can do this with this phone, but only somewhat. Once it's been "copied" to the SD card, I can't really edit the file from there. If I try renaming a music file for example, the window freezes saying "Program Not Responding". If I try to delete the file, it doesn't delete it either. Another big issue is once it's in my Nokia Lumia's SD card and I right-click it from my PC to edit an image with Photoshop, I can't do it. There's no "Open With..." feature. The same with audio files, I can't open with anything other than Windows Media Player, which I don't use. So does this phone really support "drag & drop" or is this just false advertising?
2. How does one change the message tone? If a so-called "inferior" phone like the Nokia E73 Mode could do it, easily, why can't the superior Windows 8 smart phone do it? The same with an actual ringtone. How does one change it?
I actually do love this phone, but the whole lack of file manager and it's inability to "drag & drop" files for me disappoints.

Welcome to the forum.
the drag m drop is working according to your post. Drag n drop doesn't include altering or editing files directly on the device.
coming from Symbian, I understand your dilemmas here.
best to take the file off the device by drag n drop from the device to the PC and then alter it and then drag b drop it back to your device.
as for the memory card, I have always found it faster to write directly to a card from the PC with an adapter rather then going through the device hardware.
with wp8, you can only use custom ring tones with what you drag into the ringtones folder when connected.
I would recommend changing the file genre to ringtone too
as for the messaging and email sounds currently you are limited to the sounds that available in the device. Not even the custom tones will show.
hope that helps

Few questions about my new laptop

I just bought a powerbook g4 12" 1.5ghz with an 80g hd.
i just found out that i cannot upgrade to snow leopard due to the intel processor. am i really missing out? and how can i get leopard?
also, i need to upgrade my ram. where can i get a trusted upgrade? i am looking at things online, but i am scared of getting scammed. but i have ugraded my other pc's ram and the card i bought cheaply online worked fine. any tips for this would be great!
thanks guys

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
You may still be able to get Leopard from Apple by calling 800-MY-APPLE, which is the Apple online ordering store. You can't buy it locally anymore. If they are out, then you'd need to look online, with one source being hardcoremac.com or ebay. If you go ebay, ensure you're getting black-faced retail disks and not gray-faced disks, which are locked to the system types they originally shipped with.
On ram, our Powerbooks are sensitive to the ram used, due to the memory bus architecture. If you stick with Crucial, Kingston (not their value-ram line though), or Samsung, you'll be OK.

Question about the new Yoga 10 HD+

Hi
A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD+ which I hope you can answer.
I bought the old model last year. Loved the design and long battery time but a few major issues made me return it.
Somewhere I read that it can't read NTFS over USB so I presume that's the same with an NTFS formatted microSD card?
Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
Anyone observed issues regarding audio over bluetooth?
(I know BT isn't exactly High End HiFi but the old Yoga 10 for some odd reason - most likely a driver issue which nobody cared to fix - sounded *much* worse with quite noticeably distortion while both my phone and a cheap noname tablet I have zero fidelity issues - no matter which of my bluetooth audio devices I tried aptX or not)
So to avoid buying this only to return it too I really would like to see if I can have my questions answered before buying it.
While I love the form factor and long running time the above issues are just two mayor dealbreakers to me. Bad audio quality = no joy listening to spotify, local MP3s etc. No NTFS or exFAT = no large movies.
My old noname android tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious whether this can be it or I should look at the competition and sacrify form factor and battery runtime.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
If it's not supporting either NTFS or exFAT on the microSD have anyone tried ext3 and/or ext4?
I mean with Androids Linux roots it should be a nobrainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where there *might* be some issues with Microsoft.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks!
OK. Seems I should just stay clear of this and look elsewhere
Sony for sure I know support exFAT. I'm usure about Samsung. Odd it seems so hard to find out. File sizes of +4 GB should be taken for granted - it's not 199x anymore...
Oh well. Wonder whether to just go for one from the competition or perhaps just save the money and wait until 64 bit catches on. Rumors is that the next Nexus 8 will be 64 bit... (I really don't expect an answer on this)

Few questions about iPhone 4S

Hi,
Recently I got an iPhone 4S, it is my first new phone in a long time, before this I had an old nokia, so I just have a few questions about it.
I havve read a alot of horror stories about the 4S battery life, mine seems ok, here is what I would like to know
1) How long should a healthy battery last?
2) how long should it take to charge to 100% from 1 or 2%?
On my daily commute I use listen it to music and sometimes user twiiter/facebook. I also get alerted of emails when they come in. So far it has just about lasted just about two days maybe before I had to recharge. Is this about right? As stated above I am coming from an old nokia, which is very dated now but the battery lasted almost a week before I had to charge, so having to charge my phone this often is new to me. My iPhone is really great and I just don't want any problems. I have turned off all extras that I don't need.
BTW are the iPhone 4S battery issues a software or hardware issue?
Thanks

I attempted to read your post, but in amongst all the random, unrelated waffling, I couldn't actually find exactly what your iPhone related question for this "Using iPhone" forum was.
Would you like to clarify? Concisely.

Few questions about Calendar / SimpleDateFormat classes

Hi.
I have few questions about Calendar class:
1. How can I get only date representation (without the time)?
after doing:
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
I tried to clear unecessary fields:
cal.clear(Calendar.SECOND);
cal.clear(Calendar.MINUTE);
cal.clear(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
But after printing the time, it seems that the HOUR was not cleared:
SimpleDateFormat sdf1 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
System.out.println(sdf1.format(cal.getTime()));
---> 03/11/2004 17:00:00
Am I missing somthing?
2. I want to make sure that two different formats couldn't be compared. i.e., if I'll try to parse one String according to different format -- ParseException will be thrown.
String date = "19/04/2004 13:06:10";
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
Date dateObj = sdf.parse(date);
However, even though that formats are different, no exception is thrown and the return Date is 19/04/2004 00:00:00.
How can I cause to exception to be thrown if formats are not identical?
Thanks in advanced

The Calendar class has a few of what Microsoft would call 'features'. :^)
To clear the time, call:
calendar.set(calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR), calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH), calendar.get(Calendar.DAY), 0, 0, 0);
If you want 'pessimistic' rather than 'optimistic' date parsing, you have two options:
1) Call calendar.setLenient(false);
See if that is strict enough for your needs, otherwise:
2) Write code to ensure a stricter parsing of the string passed in. For example, you could very simply check the length of the string to determine if time data is also present.
When parsing, a string like '02/29/02' would parse to the date '03/01/02'. Setting lenient to false may fix this, but the surest way is to do some testing and then make the parsing more pessimistic where it suits your needs.

Few questions about cs6

Hi
i have few questions about cs6
is there a way to let the ruler and straighten like cs5 ? i gave a look to my friend cs6 and cs6 ruler and straighten leave transparent image around the corner
and is there a way to set for each adjustament layer a size ? for example i like a big curve window but for example have a smaller level windows
thanks
cheers

mantralightroom wrote:
nope
The feature is there, where Christoph described it, though I would have liked it if they'd left an option for the Ruler Tool button to allow people to add "and crop" as well. But Adobe have confirmed they moved it out of there on purpose, presumably because new users would expect to crop their image using the Crop Tool, not the Ruler Tool.
mantralightroom wrote:
i would like to know if i can store the size of each dialog window
You MUST be talking about the Properties panel, where adjustment layer info is shown, because the dialogs you get when you do things like Image - Adjust - Levels or Image - Adjust - Curves is not resizeable in any way I can see. At least not on a PC.
No, there's no special option that allows dialog sizes to be saved separately. It's just one panel, and the size of the panel itself defines the size of the contents up to each of their max sizes.

Few questions about upgrading database

Hi everyone,
greetings of the day
I have few questions about the upgrading database,
In export and import mode
1.can we have new name for the target database,
2.I think we need to create tablespaces ,do we need to create users as well
3.If we are upgrading from 9i to 10g database ,any activity to be perfromed other than creating a new sysaux tablespace
4.How come we get consistent export
In DBUA mode ( in the same machine only)
1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the database
2.How can we move the files to the new location
3.Can we change db_name of the database
4.Can we use the old database as well
In manual upgration using catupgrd scripts
1.Can we rename the db_name
2.can we use old database as well
3.how to move the database files to the new location
4.can we perform this kind of upgrade on a different server
5.when we startup upgrade in the new home ,how it identifies the old database in-order to upgrade the old one
Thanks

2.I think we need to create tablespaces ,do we need to create users as wellYou can create users, but it is not necessary. You need to pre-create tablespaces only if their characteristics/locations on the target are different than on the source.
3.If we are upgrading from 9i to 10g database ,any activity to be perfromed other than thisNot that I am aware of - see the steps in the Upgrade Guide - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/expimp.htm
4.How come we get consistent export wetherEnsure the database is started in restricted mode, so users will not be able to access the database during the export.

In DBUA mode ( in the same machine only)
1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the databaseNo - DBUA will do this automatically for you.
2.How can we move the files to the new locationYou can after the upgrade move the datafiles to wherever you want - use the ALTER DATABASE RENAME DATAFILE (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_1004.htm#i2082829) command.
3.Can we change db_name of the databaseI do not believe this is possible with DBUA.
4.Can we use the old database as wellNo - the database will be upgraded by DBUA - there is no "old" database.

Brand new lumia 920, failed to use in 3 day??

This is what happened to me:-->
I bought my phone at 4 March 2013
On 5 March 2013, i charge my phone and it suddenly shut down it self and unable to switch it on.
Same day i bring it to Nokia Care at the place i purchase, the person who incharge told me that might be the WP OS problem. then after he/she help me to switch on back my phone without confirmed what's the actual problem.
he/she told me in case happen again, hole the volume down button+power button+plug USB to the PC. then the phone will like refresh its system.
On 7 March 2013, the phone happened again bout the shut down problem. then i just follow what i learn from the nokia care centre to solve it.
On 9 march 2013, the FACEBOOK and CAMERA apps was Unable to open. just like u click it, it PoP out again to the main screen. even i restart phone, Factory reset, still remain the same problem.
On 10march 2013 i bring to Nokia Care again, and them just received my phone and send to repair.
on 17 march 2013, my Lumia is finally done by repair. and i go collect it. same day at night, Sim card was keep on Disconnect, No line at all, suddenly unable to detect at all.
18 march 2013 i went to Nokia Care again, then they said" Oh Okay, we have to send in repair" again?
19 march 2013, Nokia Care called me and told me It's Done. and i go collect it again. And i mention about can i add some money or what something else to exchange a brand new lumia 920? What the person who incharge my case respond was, "let us send to repair for 1 last time first ok? let see what happen"
20 march 2013 i realise there is no FLASH on my camera, not function at all. even i install apps"flashLight" to test same no function.
21 march 2013 i bring to Nokia Care again. and they said " send in repair " again??
Until now, no respond. Under this situation, Is that nokia should Exchange a brand new phone for me? I paid money just for testing ur Lumia 920? Not even mention exchange a new lumia 920 for me? repair repair and repair.. Is this what i deserve to get?

I have faced the same case. After 2 days i bought the Nokia Lumia 920, the phone suddenly shut down itself and unable to switch it on.
Next day i bring it to Nokia Store, the person who incharge help me switch on back my phone without confirmed what's the actual problem. The person asks me to go to Care Centre and i did not go because i think it is recover.
However, after 2 days, same case happen and i found this comment. Im wondering do I need to send my phone to Care Centre to repair as there are many problems occur after sending to repair. May I know what is the main reason cause the problem? (Make me disappointed on Nokia phone)

A few questions about how ZPM works.

We have patch management (in ZCM 11.2.2), but honestly don't use it much. I have a few questions about how it works that might make me use it more, if I understand it more.
If I deploy a patch (or a set of patches), it creates a bundle for that deployment. That bundle seems to include actions that deploy the actual patch bundles (correct?). Do I have to recreate a new deployment bundle every time I want to push a new patch? i.e. If I push a Java update, and a month later, a new one comes out, do I build out a new bundle with the new patch in it, or do I modify the old one?
Once the patch is deployed, can I safely delete that deployment bundle, or should they just pile up?
Is there a way to "auto-approve" patches? Lets say I always want a group of machines to have the latest Adobe Flash Player patches. Can I set up ZPM to automatically cache and push the latest patches for a specific product, or do I have to manually remediate each patch? (I'm thinking of how MS's WSUS does "auto-approval")
I see most packages aren't cached in list, but occasionally, a patch is cached without me touching it. Why? Can I change what gets automatically cached?
Thanks for any help/answers you can provide.

For #1, (assuming you're not using baselines), you would check the new version of the patch (vulnerability) and do a new deployment.
#2 - once you're satisified that the machines are deployed (or the best to your ability) you can delete the DEPLOYMENT package. It doesn't delete the actual vulnerability bundles to my knowledge. That's why it's a good idea to name your bundle deployments with something meaningful, IMO (and maybe include a nice desription).
#3 - currently I don't believe this is possible. I know you can probably configure it to auto-download the patches, but not auto-deploy everything. Given the propensity for software to wreck other things (hello MS .NET patches), this is probably not a good idea. At least I'd never auto-download and auto-deploy any patches without testing them first, and certainly take my servers a little more cautiously than my workstations.
#4 - I think you can configure what's cached, but I could be wrong.
I know there's a lot of improvements coming in the pipeline, and it doesn't hurt to "vote" for your enhancements via the enhancement system (more work for Shaun--haha)

Few questions about 3750X stack switch

Dear,
I have just joined this helpful community. Since I am still a newbie, it is my hope to comprehend through our discussions. I would like to ask few questions about 3750X stack switch:
What kind of switches are considered as provisioned switch?
What is the purpose of using provision switch?
Which advantages does a provision switch provide? If we don't use provision feature, what would be happened?
Thank you very much. Look forward to reading your replies.

Ivan's reference provides the details, but in real world where provisioned switches are nice include: if a switch member fails, that's switch member's configuration is still present and can be used on a like model replacement.
Also: for new stack members, being able to provision the new switch stack, before you add it to the stack, save a little time when you add the stack member to the stack. I.e. you can provision the stack member ahead of time, and then when you add the stack member, as soon as it joins the stack, it has the desired configuration.

Never owned a notebook before, questions about my new MBP

I've never owned a notebook computer before, and I just bought a MBP last week... So far so great, I'm absolutely loving it. I was a PC user and made a very painless switch.
Though I've got a few questions about what my new notebook can do. These questions are probably universally applicable to all notebooks, mac or otherwise, but I've received such positive help from these forums that I thought I'd ask here.
1) What happens when I close the lid? I usually select SLEEP or SHUT DOWN first and wait for the action to complete, then close the MBP. WHat happens if I close it while the action is in progress? Or without selecting anything?
2) When I leave my MBP alone for a while (notebook in the open position), the display dims and then eventually turns off. Is it sleeping? When it's asleep, can I still remote access it (VNC?) If not, is there a way to leave it running so that I can VNC into it, but turn the display off so that I don't run it needlessly?
3) I use it as as desktop replacement, so I spend a good amount of time at my desk. When I'm done with it, I usually shut it down or sleep it and leave it plugged in. Is this OK for the battery, or should I not run the AC power when it's already charged?
4) The MBP documentation recommends not moving the notebook while it is on (???). Does this honestly mean they recommend shutting the system down before getting up from the couch to move to the desk? What about sleeping it, e.g., can I sleep it or close the lid and then move it around?

1) If you selected sleep it'll continue to do that. If you selected shutdown or retart then potentially that process can be halted and the system put to sleep right in the middle of it. If restarting or shutting down it's always best to let that finish.
2) Yes, it'll go to sleep and should be signified by the pulsating sleep indicator.
To access it via VNC you will need to send the "magic packet" to wake it first. This however requires an ethernet connection and will not work if connected wirelessly.
3) It's fine, however you should stillstretch it legs on battery. I suggest you use your MBP on average for about an hour per day plus a calibration every 4-8 weeks.
4) They probably mean that but there's no problem with moving your MBP while it's on. Just use common sense when doing so as jolts and shakes can damage the moving parts such as your hard drive. If you moving any great distance it's best to sleep it forst. Otherwise, if you're shuffling on the couch don't worry about it, just don't drop it etc.
