For Android fans this article sums up VZW's shortcomings

I think those of us that are really into our Android devices will agree that having an Android on VZW is not all that it used to be.
http://blogs.computerworld.com/android/22283/verizon-android-enthusiasts

You're right about that, Horses, as indeed the article's author acknowledges: "Keeping things in perspective, true Android enthusiasts -- the kind of people who care about this stuff -- make up a small percentage of customers." However, some issues do have the potential to affect everyday users as well, especially the fact that "Verizon's grown notoriously bad about providing timely OS upgrades to its devices," as the author notes.
japetty notes the basic economic factor: as long as VZW's technological lameness doesn't have a negative effect on its bottom line, they're not going to improve. Theoretically, businesses have three constituencies: the owners, the employees, and the customers. As things actually operate today, though, across all business sectors, only the owners (whether private or stockholders) get any consideration. As long as nobody satisfies the customer or treats employees well, everybody can keep wringing the last dime out of the profit margin.
For myself, I fall into another category that the article references: "Verizon does tend to have excellent coverage in many areas, which makes its inferior approach to Android all the more aggravating." My wife and I switched to VZW from AT&T solely to get coverage in a rural area, which we did, and we're going to stay, since AT&T has no more intention of expanding its network than VZW does of improving its phone-adoption and OS-upgrade processes (see preceding paragraph). But it is a little aggravating.

Adobe reader is not letting flash videos for android at this time what am i going to use with my android phone now?

i went to Adobe Reader to download flash player for my Android phone and they are nolonger supporting android phones . what can i do? so that i can watch my email videos?

Some people have suggested installing the last version of the Flash plugin that worked, but due to lots of security bugs in older versions of the Flash player, this is hard to recommend.
Could I suggest asking on a forum specific to your Android device? You can find those on many sites now, but the one I generally visit is [http://forums.androidcentral.com/ Android Central].

Adobe Creative Cloud app for Android (preview) compatibility?

HI - I notice that Adobe have released an Adobe Creative Cloud (preview) app for Android. This is very welcome as it would allow me to share files across Windows desktop, Android tablet and, if necessary, iPad.
But it says it isn't compatible with my Hudl2 - why?
Could it be because my tablet is wifi only? (I hope not.)
RIchard

I now have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the Android app is not compatible with that device either - why?

How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?

How do I move a file from "Recents" in Adobe Reader for Android to a folder in "Documents"?
Files from Google Drive are appearing in "Recents" where I cannot organize them hierarchically.
I cannot find a user manual for Adobe Reader for Android with this level of detail.

Hi John,
Files opened via Google Drive are not listed in ‘Documents' section of Adobe Reader, because they are read only files. If you really want to save these files to ’Documents' then please follow below steps -
Open the file from Google drive in Adobe Reader.
Tap on the Comment icon placed at top toolbar(Second icon from the beginning)
You would encounter a 'Read-Only document’ dialog, tap on Save button.
Once you performed above steps , your file will be saved in /Download/Adobe Reader/ folder.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks,
Adobe Reader Team

Adobe Reader for Android to play video embedded in a PDF document.

I am a medical teacher. A large part of my teaching is technical and skills based and I have a lot of teaching video material. I distribute my material to my students as PDF documents with embedded videos. They can presently only read this on their PCs. It would be wonderful if I could place that material in a 7 inch Android tablet in their coat pockets. They could review a "how to" video and text immediately before perfoming a medical procedure. It is so easy and fast to prepare a Word text document, convert it to PDF embedded with a simple cropped video clip. Also the original word document can be updated in moments and be converted into a fresh PDF with video in a minute later to replace the one on the student computer or tablet whenever. This makes the teaching material a living text easy to keep permanently up to date. To date I have not managed to find an eReader or Tablet that that I could play an video embedded in a PDF document. The problem is Adobe Reader for Android doesn't do this. Does anyone know of any other easy way to produce documents with embedded video that can also be read on a pocket size tablet or eReader? Is Adobe going to upgrade Adobe Reader for Android to this ability sometime? Is there any other PDF reading app that can play embedded video?

GoodReader ($4.99), ezPDF Reader ($2.99) and PDF Expert ($9.99) are well rated and support many more features.

Adobe AIR for Android - GPU Mode - Bitmap Auto-Smoothing Issue

Hi everyone
I'm having a bit of an issue with the AS3 bitmap object. I'm currently developing an 8-bit style pixel game for AIR for Android.
This game is being developed at a very low resolution and is being scaled up to maintain the charm of an old retro game.
One of the methods I'm using is drawing pixels directly to bitmap objects and scaling the object up to create the old look.
When testing on a mobile device, this works beautifully when you set the rendering method to Direct but when you change
the render method to GPU the visuals go all blurry and anti-aliased (it's as if the bitmap is being smoothed out). The mini map
for example is rendered using the setPixel method and then scaled up 9 times. Looks great on my PC but once I export it to my phone
it looks absolutely awful! This is no good as I want to keep the clean, solid pixel look to maintain the the old 8-bit feel and obviously
I'd like to stick to GPU mode due to it's speed.
Like I said, this only happens once you test on a mobile device in GPU mode - it doesn't do it on my main desktop machine or
in Direct mode. I already have the stage quality set to low and I've tried setting the bitmap's smoothing property to false but
it does nothing.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get around this?

How about first blit your image to a small bitmapData, then draw it on a large bitmapData (9X larger)?
Like,
var small_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH, SMALL_HEIGHT, false);
var large_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH * 9, SMALL_HEIGHT * 9, false);
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(large_bmd, PixelSnapping.NEVER, false);
var blitRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 9, 9);
var i:uint, j:uint, blitColor:uint;
small_bmd.draw(SOURCE_IMAGE);
large_bmd.lock();
for(j = 0; j < SMALL_HEIGHT; j++){
     for(i = 0; i < SMALL_WIDTH; i++){
          blitColor = small_bmd.getPixel(i, j);
          blitRect.x = i * 9;
          blitRect.y = j * 9;
          large_bmd.fillRect(blitRect, blitColor);
large_bmd.unlock();
Not sure if the code works or not, but hopefully this helps.

Can i create a singol folio application for android with digital publishing professional edition?

hI, (sorry but i speak english a little bit).
I would like to create my application with professional edition because i wont see it on android device too but i need just a singol folio app.
i don't want a multifolio viewer, i need just a singol updatable app that start directly from the icon withouth no other number.
How can i do?
I see also that a lot of function are limited for android, are there some news?
Thanks a lot

You can't.
Even if the subscription app only has one folio in it, you have to
create it that way for Android. This requires a pro or enterprise
account and you'll have to pay for the downloads.

Does Acrobat Reader for Android support importing signature images? (TIF, JPG, BMP, PNG, etc)

I have a Galaxy Note 2 and I was looking to import a signature image instead of writing in the scrawl box.
Does Acrobat for Android support this like the PC version does?
Thanks in advance!!

No, Reader on android does not support it yet. May be something for the future releases.

How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
How can I do that?
How can I prevent Firefox for Android from pausing video playback when switching to another tab?
Thank you very much.

Hi hamid_ss,
Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

-Reece,
We only have 1 single domain, 1 domain forest, no subdomains, only alias. I had replied to the other post as well. But I am happy to paste it here in case anyone want to read it.
So, after a few months of testing, capture and sending logs back and forth to Apple Engineers, we found out there is a setting in AD, under User Account that prevent us to log into AD from Mountain Lion. If you would go to your AD server, open up a user account properties, then go to Account tab, the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" option is checked. As soon as I uncheck that option, immediately I was able to log into AD on the Mac client. Apple engineers copied all my AD settings and setup a test environment on their end and match exact mine AD environment. They was able to reproduce this issue.
The bad part about this is... our environment required the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" is checked in AD, in order for our users to login into some of our Unix and Linux services. Which mean that it is impossible for us to remove that check mark because most, if not all of them some way or another require to login into applications that run on Unix and Linux. Apple is working to see if they can come up with a fix. Apparently, no one has report this issue except us. I believe most of you out there don't have that check mark checked in your environment... Anyone out there have any suggestion to by pass or have a work around for this?

TS4088 why is there a limit on 3 years? it should be all the MacBook Pro mid 2010 with symptoms, there should get their logic board changed for free, mine mac is 3 month late and i had this problem for over a year, but i first saw this article today :(

Hey Clintonfrombirmingham
I called Apple technical support in Denmark, but with no positive reply.
She couldn't do anything, and said that They had sent a recall Email about the problem and with their offer to repair the Macbook Pro, but I'd never recieved an Email about the problem. She wasn't in power to make an exception. It can't be true that i paid a lot of money, for a product that can't barely stand on its own feets, Apple didn't tell me that the product I was about to buy, would restart every 5 minute. and now when they know the problem, they wont repair it? it just don't make sense for me. If a car seller discovers that all the brakes in a car he had sold, will crash after some years he will call all the cars back to repair no mater what. i just don't understand how Apple will make good service for their custumers, by extending the warranty from 2 to 3 years, but wont take the computers there is a little bit to old, 4 months will make the difference. i can't believe it.
What can i do now?
best regards Oskar

Adobe Flash player doesn't support the new android type devices such as my new Kindle Fire but i understand they are going to have an app out for these devices this year. Any idea on when that will be?

I understand Adobe Flash player will have out an app to download to the newer android devices such as Kindles that they stopped supporting a couple of years ago soon. Any idea when this will be? Thanks.

Hello,
We don't have any plans for a new version of Flash Player for Android. That said, some users have been able to get Flash Player working on the Kindle Fire by using third party browsers.

HT1923 This article contains the only thing that worked for me. I also had to sign out of iCloud and uninstall it. Then I had to delete all files and folders from all of those applications that were under Program Files, Program Files x86, and Users.

This article contains the only thing that worked for me. I also had to sign out of iCloud and uninstall it. Then I had to delete all files and folders from all of those applications that were under Program Files, Program Files x86, Program Data and Users. My iPhone 4 will now sync with iTunes both in its USB-connected mini dock and over Wi-Fi. It's unfortunate (negligent programming on the part of Apple?) that the upgrade to iTunes 11 did not remove all of those files as part of the upgrade process.

I am having the same issue....Same address for years - same as USPS - I tried 5 times (3 macs and 2 iPhones) and now i have 5 CHARGES for 1.00 each on my credit card. I took the credit card info off so they don't charge me anymore. How can they charge me yet still not allow me to download free updates and say I have an invalid address? I'm sure I will spend weeks or months trying to get a credit out of these incompetent idiots.

TS1369 I'm trying to activate my ipod touch and it wont come up for syncing or whatever. and this article didnt help, can anyone else help?

i cant seem to find an answer of how to activate my ipod touch, can anyone help?
