Good News for those of you with discoloration...

Apple recognizes, will repair discolored MacBooks
By Kasper Jade
Published: 11:00 AM EST
Apple Computer customers who've experienced premature discoloration on the casings of their glossy white MacBooks may finally see some restitution, AppleInsider has been told.
Click Here!
In an internal bulletin earlier this week, Apple for the first time acknowledged that a problem exists with some of its white 13-inch MacBook notebooks, where the casings of the computer may inexplicably turn shades of orange after very little usage.
"Some white MacBook computers may exhibit discoloration on the top case after some use," the company wrote in a note to its retail sector and service partners. "If this issue occurs [...] and the computer meets certain requirements, Apple will cover replacement of the affected parts under warranty."
In order to be eligible for the extended warranty repair, a customer's MacBook must have a serial number that falls within the range of 4H617XXXXXXXX to 4H627XXXXXXXX. The notebook must be irresponsive to approved cleaning solutions.
In replacing the top case -- the affected portion of the computer containing the palmrest area -- Apple will also replace the display bezel, people familiar with the repair process say.
The warranty extension is being made available to MacBook customers in all of Apple's major markets, including the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and Japan.
Customers afflicted by discolored MacBook syndrome should contact an Apple Care support representative by phone (1-800-800-2775 in US) or bring their computer to a local Apple retail store to arrange for diagnosis or repair.
Widespread reports of discoloration began appearing only weeks after Apple introduced the new Intel-based MacBook notebooks, which are available in both white and black (not affected). Since then, some customers have had success in getting their stained MacBooks replaced or repaired through a variety of avenues, while others have not.
It's still unclear precisely what causes the discoloration, however speculation on the Web suggests a bad batch of plastics may be to blame.

Why don't they do the same for the bad logic board? It's obviously an issue; they might as well address it and make it easier for people that don't know why their computer is constantly turning off.

For those of you with a Windows computer and the iOS device is not syncing or showing up in iTunes. here is a known solution that has been working for tech support!

I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
The gist of what you need to do:
Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.

For those of you waiting...

Just an FYI for those of you that are waiting for Merom, it may not be worth it. Although the chip is 64-bit the chipset that is currently out is still only 32. The Santa Rosa chipset is due to come out in the spring which will be 64-bit. Could be why Apple isn't upgrading, they aren't in to "tricking you" like everyone else. So for those of you waiting thinking it will come out any day now, think again. The good news is that even if you don't get a 64 bit system it is going to take a long time for you so really need one since software would still have to catch up.

Bsmit007 is right about 40-bit real support in Core 2 Duo's. However, the thing is that with a pseudo 64-bit support it would be possible to run Windows XP 64-bit OS as well as 64-bit Vista. I'm sure Mac OSX is much better, but I need flexibility with running all sorts of programs. I'm currently looking for a laptop to buy, and have some doubts whether I should wait for Core 2 Duo or not. It's not about performance (which will be just 5% - 7% faster in real life apps), it's rather about the hassle I'll have at the time of the next upgrade.
My question is what chipsets current MBP's motherboards are running on and whether the CPU has a BGA or PGA Socket-M interfase?(which allows to change the CPU). For example, if it's an Intel 945GM or PM chipset, then I could buy MBP now, and in half a year time swap the CPU for Core 2 Duo along with other upgrades, such as memory, HDD and etc.
Cheers,
Ayrat.
Looking for one...

For those of you that know me

for those of you that know me, i figured i'd drop a note here to say today's my last day at oracle. those of you that do know me probably also know that i'm very grateful to you guys what you've done. for what we've done. back in the day when this project marvel stuff (oracle platform stuff, for you really old skoolers) was new, it took a certain amount of faith to jump on board. we did. we jumped on board believing it'd work, and then we proved it. we've shown the world that this Application Express stuff not only works, but it works well. thanks guys, it's your continuing activity here on this forum and in the global community that have shown so many people how good web app development can be. please know i appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. also, now that i'm leaving the mothership, i'd like to say that the apex team is just incredible. you couldn't hope to work with a cooler or more dynamic group of people. i think you guys get a sense of that when you use the product and interact w/them on this forum, but i just wanted to confirm that now that i'm heading into the afterlife.
somewhat choked up,
raj (soon to be [email protected])

Hello,
I don't know Raj in person, but I read some of his articles on OTN, some of his threads on this forum, and some very kind words, written by Tom Kyte. So, I believe the Apex guys when they are saying he'll be missed.
Usually, when senior staff jumps ship, it's a good reason to start worry. In this case, it seems like Scott Spendolini is building a mini empire around Apex. As I consider these guys to be smart and skillful, their willingness to leave good and secure positions at Oracle, in favor of some new adventure, can only mean one thing they all believe in the good and bright future of Apex, and its ability to provide for them. It seems like a good sign for people like me user who devote a great deal of time learning how to make the best out of this tool.
I wish Raj all the best, and encourage all the others keep on the good work.
Regards,
Arie.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE NANO!!!

"They claim current iPods can already play video (but this is disabled) which means an updated firmware might enable movie playback, something not infeasible given the power of the iPod hardware platform."
http://engadget.com/page/3 -- scroll down to "Think Secret thinks we'll see a video iPod Tomorrow" and read the update!!
This is good news for all those who may be regreting buying the nano. (I don't, it's flash-newer technology, hard drive skips)

Yeah,
Even though the screen on the Nano is small, I would still welcome video playback. I don't think copying full DVD's onto the Nano is practical given the storage size unless there is a way to compress video/DVD content to be loaded on to the Nano. You would be able to hold maybe 1 or 2 full DVD movies plus your music library. The new video iPod and regular iPods have much larger storage for things like full quality audio and video.
I welcome the ability to play Quick Time content, though.
Have a lot of video/movies in QT format and the sound would probably be great over headphones.
I do not regret buying a Nano, though. The Nano is an impressive piece of technology and still a good-looking device for playing any audio/video/image content.
I hope apple does release a firmware updater to recent iPods for video playback.
This would just make the Nano even more slicker device.

For those of you using two hard drives..........

I have two hard drives, and really want to set them up properly so that logic is running on the main drive, and the secondary drive is for audio/samples etc. So for those of you that have done this, what is the best way? Specifically -
1. For the EXS24- do BOTH the instruments and samples folder need to go on the secondary drive?
2. If you've already been using one drive for everything, how do you re-train logic to see the exs/audio folders on the secondary drive? Is it just a matter of moving them and then redirecting logic when it can't find the files?
Your input on the best way to utilize two drives is most appreciated - what has worked for you, and what hasn't.

. For the EXS24- do BOTH the instruments and samples folder
need to go on the secondary drive?
Leave the instruments folder where it is, and put your samples folder on the external drive.
You can alias the instruments folder to whereever you want, but you don't really get any performance advantages doing so.
2. If you've already been using one drive for everything, how do you
re-train logic to see the exs/audio folders on the secondary drive?
Two things to note - you don't need to do anything. When the EXS24 loads an instrument, if the samples are not at the location specified in the instrument, it will search for them, and when it finds them, it will write the new location back to the instrument so next time it won't have to search.
So, if you've moved your sample folders, the first time you access an instrument it will take some time to load while Logic hunts for the samples. Subsequent loads of that instrument will be as fast as ever.
Now, you can use the Project Manager (or Redmatica's EXSManager) to do this relinking for you across multiple instruments or your whole library.
In the PM, do an expanded scan. Then, select your instruments, and choose the "resolve samples" function - Logic will relink instruments with their samples and update the instrument files with the new locations. This can take some time with a big library.
Any more questions, post back.

Where can I find a good tutorial for mobile game developement with J2ME ?

Hi All,
I'm completely new to J2ME programming. But I have past experience on J2SE developement. Now I would like to know that where can I find a good tutorial for mobile game developement with J2ME ?
I'll be very greatful if I can find a useful step-by-step tutorial (eg. "The Java Tutorial" for J2SE)
Please point me ot the direction.
Thanks
ZuriJAckshoT

ibook-widgets.com have a free tutorial book in the iBooks store. Search for "Create your first interactive book using iBooks Author" they also sell widgets.
I dont have any connection - I found their eBook in the store long ago and used it to learn more about iBA.
The best advice though, is be patient, go back over the process step by step, I cannot access the Help files for some reason.. but i am sure its in their.

For those of you who have the "Perfect Timing" ringtone from the commercial

I posted this in the plain 'ol phone forum but haven't got a response yet. I hope I get one here.
For those of you who have the ringtone from the iPhone TV commercial -- do you remember what portion of the song (or can you check in iTunes) you used for the actual ringtone? If you could tell me the counter (in seconds and minutes) that you started and ended your tone at, that would be great. I'm trying to get it exactly like the commerical but I don't think I have it just right. Thanks! By the way the song is called "Perfect Timing."

"I downloaded the free version of malwarebytes and ran it when my computer was in safe mode, which found 93 malware "issues" on my computer."
...and you're surprised that you had installation issues with iTunes? This makes me wonder whether others who report problems installing iTunes have computers that are equally infected! For reference, I just checked the logs from the last Malwarebytes scan (I run an automated scan twice a week) on my main iTunes system (on which, like the other iTunes instances I run, never seems to suffer from any installation issues) - zero issues

No is does not work, it gets installed. But does not work. When we click on the installed NSU.
The Nokia startup screen stays on and nothing happens.
Please do not give wrong trick.
I have tried it on Win 7 (Prof & Ultimate) Same problem, i have tired on 2 diffrent systems.
nokia will be coming out with new NSU 2.4.2 soon, Kindly do wait for it.

Cannot resize the albums in album view in Itunes 11. For those of us with large libraries (160gb), this is extremely frustrating. I want to make the artwork smaller. This seems to be a serious oversight.

Cannot resize the albums in album view in Itunes 11. For those of us with large libraries (160gb), this is extremely frustrating. I want to make the artwork smaller. This seems to be a serious oversight.

I agree.
It was very useful to reduce everything to small and quickly scan down looking for missing artwork.
Particularly useful when I only connect to the machine with iTunes via screen sharing, so everything can be a bit slower to scroll through at times.
In fact, itunes 11 when used purely as a server for Apple TV etc is a downgrade in usability IMO, as they've got rid of some of the useful views that helped me manage my library remotely.

What antivirus is better for those who work with mac and windows?

In my home I use an iMac, but in college I use Windows, and more than once I found an infected file. I know not affect iMac, but I prefer that viruses are removed. Right now I use ClamXv, but I don't know if it is effective.
Am I to continue using ClamXv? or, do I use another?
If there are others better AV for mac, what is most recommended?
**I have also used Sophos, but it makes the iMac go very slow.
Thanks for your attention.

1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to your computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandboxing security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders," for example, are outside the safe harbor, though not all are malware.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
There is an increasing tendency for rogue websites such as "Softonic" and "CNET Download" to distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous installer that also installs malware or something else that you don't want. Never visit those sites, and get all freeware directly from the developer's own site whenever possible.
Software attached to email that you didn't request is unsafe, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
Software advertised by means of spam is unsafe.
Unknown "free" software that a stranger on the Internet is eager for you to download is unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
"FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will inevitably result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Doing any of the things alluded to above should make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. New threats are emerging on a daily basis. Research has shown that most successful attacks are "zero-day" — that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based malware scanners do not defend against such attacks.
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not completely effective. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular trojan it is, but do you really care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless an institutional policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every unknown email attachment until proven otherwise.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. "Hmmmm, this torrent is a crack of that new game I want. I think I'll download it. It could be a trojan, but the antivirus will warn me if it is." Then they wonder why their Mac is so slow all of a sudden. It's slow because it's running flat out mining bitcoins for a hacker who has already sold their credit card number and banking passwords to a criminal gang. Maybe a week later the antivirus does warn them, but what good does that do?
Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

Good News For K8N Neo Platinum Users!!!

Ok, after fiddling with my BIOS for almost 2 days now, and scanning the forums for a solution, I contacted MSI Technical Support in California, USA. They are sending me a new BIOS chip, free of charge, so anyone having a severe problem with BIOS revisions 1.8 and 1.9 on the K8N Neo Platinum (MS-7030) please give tech support a call, I let them know I would be posting this in the forum and they will be inandated with phone calls, but woohoo, they are sending a new chip pre-flashed with BIOS revision 1.7.
Please refer to this thread for the reasons why:BIOS v1.9 Is Terrible

What good news? UK based MSI did not offer any such replacement bios after my problems updating to 1.8 bios.
I purchased a new bios chip with 1.9 bios from a UK supplier.....after fitting the bios I returned to the same problems as before, failure to boot past post and freezing in bios menu. I then remembered another post on this sight and removed one stick of memory......everything back to normal .I have just fitted a 1gb Corsair cas 2 memory and all seems well I will save my 2X 512 Corsair XL my next project which will not be a MSI Motherboard
MSI UK have not come out of this very well and from the posts that I have read there are quite a few people out there with problems. Many thanks to all those who posted on this, it certainly helps to know that you are not the only one with problems.

At last some good news for UK iPhone users

After the UK users seemingly getting a raw deal from from Apple as of late (no Atv price drop or movies etc), a report on Pocket lint informs us that our tariffs will be moving into line with their non iPhone tariffs in Feb. below is a copy but for more info check it out.
The three current tariffs for iPhone will be brought in line with the minute and text bundles offered on the new tariff structure.
iPhone customers on a £35 per month contract will get three times more minutes and more than double the number of texts than before.
The new £45 iPhone tariff gives the same amount of minutes and texts as the former £55 tariff so customers who were on the £55 tariff can either save £10 per month or take the new £75 tariff with 3000 minutes and 500 texts a month.
All iPhone customers will continue to receive "unlimited" data browsing and access to The Cloud's Wi-Fi hotspots.
Roll on Feb

This is indeed good news! Well done O2!
This is from the O2 iPhone 'Pay Monthly consumer airtime contract for iPhone (November 2007)'
5.15 You may move to another iPhone tariff at any time, provided that you may only change tariffs a maximum of once per month. Changing tariffs will not affect your Minimum Period. You will not be able to move to a general O2 Pay Monthly tariff. Where you have notified us you wish to move to an alternative iPhone tariff, unless we advise otherwise, your new tariff will commence at the start of your next billing cycle.
I hope to move from the old £45 > new £35 Tariff (£120 a year saving).
Would be good to hear of any experiences from other UK iPhone users attempting to do this or similar.

Do we have a good new for 4.4.2 update?

Can you post the good thing for the new update of z1?

We’ve been working to build new Sony experiences on Google’s KitKat release to create some neat / sweet features (if we say so ourselves) – in addition to a few performance tweaks here & there, some of the functionality you can look forward to includes:
Google’s Android 4.4; KitKat as standard – bringing performance & UI optimisation…
We’ve added our tweaked Status Bar and Quick Settings… now more intuitive and customisable (and pretty easy on the eye)… cleaned up to ensure you only get the notifications you really need
If you’ve got a Sony PlayStation 4, you might recognize our new user interface – we’ve added the same sleek launch animation and livewallpaper across the lock and home screens
We’re also uplifting Sony’s entire native app portfolio to the latest versions – bringing tweaked / improved / current experiences for (to name but a few): Messaging, MyXperia, Smart Connect, Small apps, TrackID, TrackID TV, Sony Select, Smart Social Camera and…
Sony’s Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies, with Sony Entertainment Network cloud service integration* – a more converged and full Sony entertainment experience – Sony Entertainment Network & PlayMemories integration with a more intuitive UI, better download speeds, and more!
Our unique custom interface experience: “Xperia Themes”, with downloadable UI packs from Sony Select – skin up to 280 assets across your Xperia smartphone with a variety of styles, and more to follow soon…
Next up, we’ll start rolling Android 4.4 KitKat for Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia Tablet Z – and Xperia ZR – from mid-Q2.
And… we’re also excited to tell you that we’ll make Android 4.4; KitKat available for Xperia T2 Ultra, Xperia E1 and Xperia M2 – we’ll be back with more details; bespoke feature sets and timings as things progress.

Good News for those of you with discoloration...
