Garbled audio using VoIP apps Truphone and Fring

I am getting garbled feedback at times using Truphone and Fring on an iPod touch 2G v2.2.
This happens when calling GoogleTalk or when calling the Truphone or Fring Test Call. The garbled feedback starts immediately before the connection is complete. I have worked with Truphone support and they think it is an iPod touch issue.
When this problem occurs, a GoogleTalk user answers and can hear me fine but I can't hear them. This appears to be an issue on my end only. Often, I have to try several times before I get a good connection. When I am able to connect to GoogleTalk or the Test Call without the feedback, it sounds fine.
I tried this at the Apple Store and got the same garbled feedback. They replaced my Apple Earphones with Remote and Mic but it didn't help. They ran Diagnostics but didn't find anything. Since this seems to only happen with Truphone and Fring, and not iRecorder, Apple thinks this is app and not hardware related so they will not replace my iPod touch. They suggested that I write up an description of the trouble I am having at apple.com/feedback which I did.
There are others complaining about this exact same problem on other forums.
I am trying to determine if a certain build series is having this problem. If you check the first five digits from the left of your Serial Number under Settings->General->About, the first two digits may be the location, the next single digit will be the year, and the next two will be week. Mine is 1A838.

I noticed this happens with Skype and my iPod Touch 2G with the Apple in-ear buds with remote + mic.
What happens:
1) I make a call with skype out
2) I hear the skype "boo-bee-boop" sound.
3a) I hear ringing. If I do not hear any sound from my mic. this means the call will be ok.
3b) I also hear ringing as well as the sound coming from my mic, all garbled/metallic. If someone picks up on the other end they can hear me fine, but I can't hear them, only my own voice all garbled. I also tested this with my own phone.
Usually when I hear the garbled mic sound after dialing, i press to cancel the call, but it still rings on the receiver end, so it's annoying for the people I'm trying to call. Sometimes it takes 3 tries to get a "good" call. I've tried things like quitting the app before making the call, but nothing seems to guarantee a "good" call, so it's like a game of russian roulette (with lower stakes
I think i may have found a fix, turning "hold" on and off right after connecting seems to work all the times i've tried.
I should note, this applies to the skype app, as I've found the call quality on fring and nimbuzz to be unbearable, due to the delay.
Now, I think it's related to the OS, since another app I own, FourTrack, has the EXACT SAME garbled sound with the mic, every time I try to record. It worked fine before OS 2.2, The FourTrack developers have acknowledged the problem with iPod Touch, and say that the next OS update should fix it. I am 90% sure its a software issue with "real-time" apps, because i've recorded many voice memos with the mic in various apps and i've never heard the garbled sound.
Anyway, please let me know if the hold trick works for Skype people. Other than this, it's an amazing app and I'm very happy with it.

Can you explain this a bit more? Users who purchase the app should have a 1 year validity for what? Are you talking about the app purchase or the in-app purchase? Are you talking about future in-app purchases or people who have already purchased your app before you added the in-app purchase feature?
Can i get the Purchase date of the app based on the user from app store.
Yes. When your app completes the in-app purchase, it should forward the receipt to your server, which will verify it with iTunes, and complete the transaction. All the details are here.

Bug in Mail when using Google Apps Gmail and sync

I found a bug in the sync process between the Mac and the phone. If you have Mail (on the computer) set to use Google Apps for Your Domain, the sync on the phone changes the user for the mail account. I assume this is because it sees "smtp.gmail.com" or something and decides to "protect" you from having an incorrect user account.
So for example, if you're using Google Apps and your e-mail is [email protected], Mail (on the computer) will also have smtp.gmail.com and pop.gmail.com as the servers. When sync'd to the phone, iTunes or the phone decide to change the user account for both servers to [email protected]@gmail.com, which is of course not what we want.
I'm kind of annoyed that they're trying to protect us like this.

Yeah unfortunately if you tried to send an e-mail
before discovering that bug, you will have an error
message show every time you access Mail saying "the
sender address [email protected]@gmail.com was
rejected by the server."
I can't get it to go away even by deleting the
account on iPhone and not setting it to sync.
Anybody know of a fix?

Yes. Create the GMail account on your iPhone using the Other shortcut instead of the GMail shortcut. That will let you specify whatever address you want.

SSO using WebLogic app server and AD as the auth source

Hi All,
I am trying to setup SSO on 10gR3 using MS Active Directory as the auth source and WebLogic as the app server.
Do I have to create a custom SSO or can this setup be configured using the basic SSO and config changes?
Any help or guidance will be appreciated.
Cheers
Bob

There are many ways. The generic answer is federation via SAML, look at the docs for Oracle Identity Federation.

How to use Preview.app 'Back' and 'Forward'

I often have to read PDF articles with endnotes in Preview, so I need to quickly switch from a footnote in the text to the end of the document. I would like to use the 'Back' and 'Forward' shortcuts to move between a point in the footnotes and back to my place in the main text.
But I can't figure out exactly how they work. For example. what defines the point you return to when you press 'forward' to the end of the text, and then 'back'? Do I have to click in the text, or remain in a particular part of the text for a certain amount of time before Preview sets that as a location to go back to (or forward from)?
I've considered using Skim for PDFs with endnotes, as it has a split view that lets you view two parts of a PDF simultaneously. But I much prefer Preview's UI.

Another solution would be to open two instances of Preview so you can read different pages of the docuemnt side by side.
However, this is a little more complicated. Once the document is open, you have to start Terminal and enter
"open -n "
and then drag the file from the Finder into the terminal window which will add the filename and its path.
The result should look like
"open -n /Users/xxx/Desktop/file.pdf"
then press return and you get a second instance of Preview.

Lost Use of App Manager and Updates after Windows 8 install

I recently purchased Windows 8 and now the Adobe Application Manager will not run on my computer. In addtion, I am unable to update photoshop and several other CS6 programs. Does anyone have a fix for this?

A lot of security updates along with .NET 4.5 should be installed before all programs run correctly on your computer. When Windows updates shows no more updates, then you should be good to go as far I'm guessing.

Which is better Truphone or Fring? Neither? Opinions wanted

My husband and I travel overseas periodically. We like to stay in touch with adult kids, one of who has an iPhone. Not a lot of talking, just periodic sort of "we're here, all is well. How are you?"
It looks as if some sort of voip plan would save a lot of money over at&t's international rates. I have been looking at Truphone and Fring. Is one better than the other? Do they do sms? Pros? Cons? Suggestions?
All comments/advice appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Fring works OK. Keep in mind that it will only work over WiFi, so you need to find a hotspot first. If you can find a hotspot though, you can send an email.
If you want to do VOIP, then you need a VOIP account/server that you can access. You can't just fire up Fring or some other app and magically do VOIP. Fring can connect to Skype, so if you set up Skype on a PC (free) and fund it for VOIP calls, that will cover you for very cheap - but again you need a hotspot.
McDonalds in London had free Wifi as does any Apple store. VOIP over WiFi has latency and jitter. To the point where I just wound up sending emails to my wife.

My new iPhone 4S has hearing problem.speaker and headphone works very good.However using handset to make and receive calls I cannot hear anything?I did restore the phone and removed the plastic.Is there any solution to this problem please?

I am having heraing problem with iPhone 4S.Speaker and headphone works well.No echo.When I use handset to receive or make calls,I can't hear anything?I restore the phone and removed the plastic as well.Is there anyway to fix this problem?

I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?

I am unable to access the app store and certain websites on my ipod touch. I already tried restoring nothing changed. Also it is post ios 6. Can anyone help?

My app. not showing on App Store anymore after using In-App purchase

It's more than a week that my app is not showing in it's category, after Apple released the new version, in the new version I used In-App purchase and both In-App purchase and the new version of the app are approved by Apple but they never showed up in their category since.
It seems it's happening to the new one which was approved yesterday and is disappeared from it's category under new releases section ( posted date was correct the same day it was approved )
Does any body else has this issue ?

after Apple released the new version
Also know as an 'update'...
Looks like Apple has quietly changed the process where updated apps could be dated the day they were approved (more recent than the original release data) and show up at the top of the recently released apps all over again.
Updated apps will not appear at the top of the recently released list any longer, it seems.
If you search on your app by name, etc., it should still be there. If it is gone completely, use one of these email contacts...

How can i see how large an app is and how much data is stored

In ios7 I could select an app and see it's size and how much data is stored in using it on my iPhone.
I can't seem to locate that option in ios8.1
to refresh and app I had the option of deleting it and reinstalling before based on the information held by the app.
is this clear?
MyFitnessPal is taking a long time to load, thought I would see how large the app is and how much info is stored
but as I've redundantly stated here I can't find that option in my phone now.
thanks in advance for any help you can offer
iPhone 5 iOS8.1

For reference in iOS 7 it is under Settings app > General > Usage.
According to the manual iOS 8 is the same…
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
(page 177)
Usage information
View cellular usage. Go to Settings > Cellular. See Cellular settings on page 179. View other usage information. Go to Settings > General > Usage to:
Display battery level as a percentage
See Battery Usage, including the elapsed time since iPhone has been charged and usage by app
View overall storage availability and storage used per app
View and manage iCloud storage
For me it take a few seconds to load, you may find that the app is being slow to open if it is still downloading some data for it's own caches etc. Try to ensure it has a good internet connection. Obviously it could just be that the service in question is also having issues, so consult their support too.

How to restore Lost App Tabs and Tab Groups

I make a lot of use of App tabs and Tab Groups. Today at startup of FireFox it showed only 1 blank tab with the default FireFox startup page. As far as I know there wasn't anny update recently.
I have lost session restore before but then FireFox start page showed me the option te restore it, this isn't the case now. Also the restore session button in the menu is grayed out.
Is there anny way to restore my tabs?
Thanks in advance.
I'm using FF 5 under Windows Vista.

As well as having had this problem a couple of times on different machines, both immediately after upgrades, I also use the synch capability so that tab groups from more than one machine can be accessed from any of the others - a really useful capability. It's really frustrating to have lost everything and have to try to recreate things from history. It occurs to me that the contents of my sets of groups are stored on a synch server somewhere so they ought to be recoverable from the hopefully, periodic automatic server backups - only problem is, how to access them? unlikely to be possible at this stage!
In this context, a useful enhancement would be a capability to make user-created named backups of all current groups of tabs which could later be restored at will; any upgrade process should also automatically create such a backup for the user so that the problem of lost groups of tabs would be solved. In addition it would give users additional flexibility to create groups of groups - accessed by the save/restore mechanism - say for development, personal or social or whatever.

Is there a way to switch off by default the video on FaceTime? I only ever use this app for audio/calls and hate the video being on. I especially hate that if I leave the app open to receive calls it means the camera and green light are on.

My issue is that I can't find a way to have the camera switched off when the app is open and so this means if I want the app open all day to receive calls then the camera is going to be on the whole time. Even if it didn't potentially drain the battery, or add to the CPU usage or whatever else may cause any problems whatsoever (wheel of death!), I just don't want the camera on as I don't see myself ever wanting to use the video call feature but I would use the audio/call multiple times throughout the day to make and receive calls. The camera being on when the app is open is enough to prevent me from using the app. Also ever since seeing that episode of criminal minds where if you saw the green light on above the screen then it meant the killer was watching you!
Basically I just can't believe there isn't a way to disable the camera whilst having the app running. I know when initiating an audio call the camera goes away, but I would like the camera away the whole time. To me it just would make sense that if you click the video option then the camera is on, and if you click the audio option then the camera goes off. It just seems waaaaay to basic a thought for apple to have missed... Let's face it, we're not all as pretty as the people in the apple adverts and don't want to see our ugly mugs staring back as us when we work all day at our macs!

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.
