Forcing the N73 to 2G signal (3 network phone)

I have serious issues with the 3G signal where I live despite being in a large town with apparently perfect coverage. I am unfortunately with the 3 Network.
I can change the network settings of the N73 to select the 2G signal (by going to 'manually select network') but within minutes it changes back to the 3G signal-3 tell me this is because the 3G signal is 'stronger' yet the 2G signal is full bars whilst 3G is 1 or zero bars, 2 if you're lucky!
I'd love to force the N73 into 2G mode if that's possible as it would solve the problem. My calls disconnect so frequently here it's appalling (I'm talking about 10 times per call...and at least a minute's worth of breaking up and silence to add to the rest of the problems).
Thanks!

In order to set your phone to 2G network or GSM, goto Tools > Settings > Network
Set the Network mode to GSM, after the phone had rebooted you should now in 2G. In this mode it also helps extend your phone standby time and please be noted that the video call function will not be available.
Hope this helps.Message Edited by n73me on 14-Oct-200704:01 PM

Touch screen stopped working. Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??

Hello all, I could use some help with my iPhone 4, I hope this is the best place to ask!
The Problem:
I want to do a full backup of my iphone to either itunes or to icloud. Unfortunately the iphone got wet and isn’t working properly. The phone turns on and still works, but the touch screen no longer works. I have a passcode lock on the phone so iTunes will not allow me to backup it up until I type in the passcode (which I cannot physically do). WiFi had been turned off before it got wet so it won’t connect to any known WiFi networks either to backup automatically to iCloud.
What happened:
I had been travelling for 6 months and went tubing on a river with my iphone in a dry bag. Unfortunately the dry bag failed and filled with water ruining my iphone.
What I’d like to do:
It’s an old phone and I was planning on buying a new iPhone anyway. I would love to do a full backup to either iCloud or to my computer so when I get a new iPhone I don’t lose anything. I’ve already connected it to my PC and downloaded all the photos and videos off the phone so at least I haven’t lost that, but I would like to be able to recover all the text messages, WhatsApp messages and notes I had created during my 6 months of travel.
The last time it was backed up to my pc or to icloud was in April, so there are 6 months worth of very meaningful data I would love to keep to remind me of my travels!
Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??
iTunes recognizes the phone just now and I tried upgrading the phone to iOS7 in the hopes that it would first backup and then upgrade. Unfortunately all that happened is the phone upgraded to iOS7, but it didn’t backup to iTunes. Now the phone is stuck at the iOS7 welcome screen and I can’t do anything else with it.
Any ideas or tips would be welcome!
NOTE: This is NOT a jailbroken iPhone.

If there is no other way around this, is there anyway to completely wipe the phone then??
The Apple store agreed to give me a new iPhone 4 as a warranty replacement for $150 (I travel a lot and I have a factory unlocked phone, so this is still worth it for me). But before I trade it in, I would like to make sure all my data is backed up on the device first.
When I try and restore the phone now on iTunes, it says I have to turn off Find My iPhone on the phone first before I can restore it. Now since I can't use the screen I can't really do that.
So how do I completely wipe the iPhone???
Thanks!

When I loose signal I have to make a call to force the signal to return, anyone else suffer this?

At times when I'm in an area with no signal coverage, my signal doesn't return automatically when I return to a place which I know has signal coverage. I must dial a number which then forces the signal to return. Anyone else suffer from this or have any ideas of a possible fix??

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

The Difference between Extending a Wireless network and WDS?

I have an Extreme (n) and an Express (n).
I want to make sure the signal is strong upstairs and share a printer (connected to the express) and use AirTunes. I also may add an external drive to the Extreme.
What's the difference between Extending a Wireless Network and using WDS? Will there be a speed difference?

I think you don't get it
If I have another draft N router that operates at 2.4G and I have only n devices I can still use WDS and it will connect using draft n in the 2.4G band.
If one g device connects to the network will go in mixed mode.
The AEBS will still report 130 Mbps for your n clients and 54 for your g clients.
If the other router is g only obviously you can't connect between the two router at n mode but still the AEBS will be in mixed mode and not in g. The Extreme will still report 130 Mbps for the connected n clients.
I can tell you that because I have actually implemented it am not taking off the documentation.
The same device if I try to use the "extend n network" does not even see the AEBS but will happily keep the n in the WDS mode and though the bandwidth is halved it is still more than g.
In any case enough for this!

In theory, yes. If you configure the two base station into either an extended or roaming network configuration, you should be able to walk a laptop between routers and the laptop should attempt to connect/reconnect to the base station providing the stronger signal ... but, in reality, this is not always 100% true.

I am using I Phone 5 and i am unable to catch the 3G signal on my phone but at the same time my colleague using another i phone 5 can easily catch 3G signal. We are using sim of same operator. If i go out of my office i can catch 3G coverage easily.

Hey Suvit Sharma,
I would go through the troubleshooting suggestions in this article:

Hey CEW724,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Wi-Fi connectivity on your iPhone 5. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
1. Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
2. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed,follow these steps.
3. Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
4. Restart your iOS device.
5. Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
6. Tap and Forget this Network.
7. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
          Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
8. Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
9. Update your device to the latest version of software.
10. Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
1. Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks. Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
2, Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
3. If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
4. Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standardsyour device supports3.
5. Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
          - previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
          - recently used Bluetooth accessories
          - VPN and APN settings
Thanks,

Have just arrived in New Zealand, and have connected to local wi fi network with go signal strength, but phone keeps saying no service? Any idea what to do?

Have just arrived in New Zealand, have connected through local wi fi network, have good signal strength, but phone says no service, cant send texts out! any ideas?

Text messages are sent via the cellular network, not wi-fi. Only iMessages are sent via wi-fi. Unless you have roaming turned on for the phone, or you have an unlocked phone that you installed a local SIM, you would continue to see No Service. That reflects your cellular carrier service. Connecting to wi-fi has no bearing on your cellular service, which is what displays on the status bar of the phone near the signal bars (circles/dots).

Auto search tip about the iPhone 4s no signal

When you use iphone 4S., No service if your 4S open the WI-FI. Your phone is a long period of non-service. If your phone service. You can turn off WI-FI then it will naturally help you automatically search signals back .... you may as well give it a try ..lol

Hey there,
I have the same problem. I got my phone officially unlocked, and that came through yesterday. A couple of hours later when i put a new SIM in (Voda in India), the phone kept raoming to another network even though it was manually set. Now, it stays on the right network, but I get no bars of signal. I do get data only.
Cannot make or receive calls, and cannot send or receive SMS. This iphone 4S is only 5 days old!
Did a factory reset, and still no change.
Am at a total loss of what to do next!!

N73 can't detect operator network

hi,
i recently swapped the sim from my old n73 to a new phone. recently i tested it back on the n73 and keeps showing offline although ive placed the sim card back. i tried changing the network to auto and changing the profile to general but it still doesn't detect the operator network. when i swapped it back to the other phone, it automatically detected the operator network. what's wrong with my n73?

Which firmware version is on it? Because that was the behavior with first firmware version. Check for a firmware upgrade and you solve that. But to sort right now, you must format the phone.

Forcing the 'save changes?' dialog

Hello,
I was wondering, Is it possible to force the form status to 'CHANGED' without any interaction with database items?
Thanks.

It is possible to change the Record Status, but not the block or form status programatically.
set_record_property(to_number(name_in('system.trigger_record')),name_in('system.current_block'), status, CHANGED_STATUS);You could also simply prompt the user to save by displaying your own Alert asking if they want to save changes.
DECLARE
al_id ALERT;
n_button_pressed NUMBER;
BEGIN
 IF ( <some condition occurs that signals the need to save> ) THEN
 al_id := Find_Alert('STOP'); /* Must have an Alert Object created named "STOP" */
 Set_Alert_Button_Property(alert_id, ALERT_BUTTON1, LABEL, 'Yes');
 Set_Alert_Button_Property(alert_id, ALERT_BUTTON2, LABEL, 'No');
 Set_Alert_Button_Property(alert_id, ALERT_BUTTON3, LABEL, 'Cancel');
 n_button_pressed := Show_Alert(Alert_ID);
 IF ( n_button_pressed = ALERT_BUTTON1 ) THEN
 /* Yes */
 <Perform you Save processing here>
 ELSIF ( n_button_pressed = ALERT_BUTTON2 ) THEN
 /* No */
 < Do something here for NO >
 ELSE
 /* Cancel */
 RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
 END IF;
 END IF;
END;Hope this helps,

Our Century Link Modem/Router supplied at set up, has poor range. It is in the kitchen ( main level ) and won't reach our studio fully at 30-40ft away. Will setting up my time capsule i the studio improve this signal?

Our Century Link Modem/Router supplied at set up, has poor range. It is in the kitchen ( main level ) and won't reach our studio fully at 30-40ft away. Will setting up my time capsule in the studio improve this signal? If not, what can I do!???

Will setting up my time capsule in the studio improve this signal?
Yes, if the Time Capsule remains connected to your Century Link modem/router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
Any other option will involve the purchase of more hardware.
One option would be to keep the Time Capsule connected to the modem/router using a short Ethernet cable, and configure the Time Capsule to provide a wireless network. Add an AirPort Express about half way between the kitchen and the studio to wirelessly extend the signal from the Time Capsule to provide a much stronger signal in the studio.
Another option might be to use a wireless repeater that is compatible with the modem/router. Century Link might have a solution, or be able to recommend a compatible device for that purpose.

E71: Anyway to force the internet to UMTS or HSDPA...

Hi all, is there anyway to force the phone to use UMTS or HSDPA only instead of auto switch between GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA? I noticed in certain area when the 2G/2.5G signal is stronger than 3G/HSDPA, the phone will switch to 2G/2.5G. I have a 3G/HSDPA datacard which i can force it to use UMTS/HSDPA only. At the same location, my datacard got UMTS/HSDPA but my E71 got only 2G

hi, thanks for the tip. Managed to do that on E71. Sure E71 will land India soon. I saw alot of ppl using E61i (my previous phone) when i was in Bangalore 5 months ago

I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.

I am using the Order Analysis Toolkit and want to get more information about the compensation for "Reference Signal Processing", which is scarce in the manuals, the website and the examples installed with the toolkit.
In particular, I am analyzing the example "Even Angle Reference Signal Processing (Digital Tacho, DAQmx).vi", whose documentation I am reproducing in the following:
DESCRIPTIONS:
This VI demonstrates how to extract even angle reference signals and remove the slow-roll errors. It uses DAQmx VIs to acquire sound or vibration signals and a digital tachometer signal. This VI includes a two-step process: acquire data at low rotational speed to extract even angle reference; use the even angle reference to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Run the VI.
2. On the DAQ Configurations tab, specify the sample rate, samples per channel, device and channel configurations, and tachometer channel information.
NOTE: You need to use DSA PXI-447x/PXI-446x and PXI TIO device in a PXI chassis to run this example. The DSA device must be in slot 2 of the PXI chassis.
3. Switch to Extract Even Angle Reference tab. Specify the number of samples to acquire and the # of revs in reference which determines the number of samples in even angle reference. Click Start to take a one-shot data acquisition of the vibration and tachometer signals. After the acquisition, you can see the extracted even angle references in Even Angle Reference.
4. Switch to the Remove Slow-roll Errors tab. Click Start to acquire data continuously and view the compensate results. Click Stop in this tab to stop the acquisition.
ORDER ANALYSIS VIs USED IN THIS EXAMPLE:
1. SVL Scale Voltage to EU.vi
2. OAT Digital Tacho Process.vi
3. OAT Get Even Angle Reference.vi
4. OAT Convert to Even Angle Signal.vi
5. OAT Compensate Even Angle Signal.vi
My question is: How is the synchronization produced at the time of the compensation ? How is it possible to eliminate the errors in a synchronized fashion with respect to the surface of the shaft bearing in mind that I am acquired data at a low rotation speed in order to get the "even angle reference" and then I use it to remove the errors in the vibration signal acquired at normal operation. In this application both operations are made in different acquisitions, therefore the reference of the correction signal is lost. Is it simply compensated without synchronizing ?
Our application is based on FPGA and we need to clarity those aspects before implementing the procedure.
Solved!

How do I turn off tab groups?It forces the same tabs to reopen in next session

I upgraded to 6.0.1 and experimented with the tab groups. Now I cannot turn it off. It seems to force the same tabs to be opened with the next session. I had (and still have) the warn me when I close multiple tabs. It overrides that option if I click the close the window. It just closes the firefox window and reopens all the tabs with the next session. This nullifies the best feature that firefox had over chrome.
Please help me to get my old Firefox back...

I'm with you permazorch...
I like them. I want them to stay attached and open all of them when I open FF.
I just wish there was a way to lock them at a particular point.
Occasionally, I mistakenly close a batch of tabs from my second screen... when I close my primary screen, it forgets the second screen tabs, and I have to reopen and regroup the tabs I closed by mistake when I re-open FF...
I love tabs and wish there was a way to keep them in spite of the fact that I might occasionally close them in the wrong sequence by mistake from time to time ...
Any recommendations for locking the tab groups once configured?
Until that time ... Earl J.
