Help needed about a phone that i sold......

Hey everyone im really hoping you guys can help me as this is doing my head in..........
i had a iphone 3gs 16gb black that i bought second hand last march, it worked perfectly in every way, i loved it!!!!!!!!!
My husband bought me a 4s for my 40th birthday so we sold the iphone on a facebook for sale page with a new white back fitted to it as the black one was very tatty............sold with this description...........iphone 3gs 16gb, used, locked to orange, has latest update installed. (This was the end of october 2011.)
a lady bought the phone and told us that she was on o2 and was going to get it unlocked.
she kept mailing me to say that she couldnt get it unlocked, i told her that she should contact orange as they were the ones who could unlock the phone, as she bought the phone clearly stated as locked to orange it wasnt our fault, we said politely.
now she is mailing me tonight saying that she sent the phone to a apple store via a envelope and they have told her the phone is a fake and she is not getting the phone back and she is threatening me with police, trading standards etc
i have put the imei number of the phone into the apple site and it says its exactly what it was, a iphone 3gs
she says to me that apple are keeping the phone as its a fake and i want to know if that can happen????????

I concur with Peter; you're almost certainly being lied to. An Apple Store would be very unlikely to keep a fake; legally they probably cannot without a warrant, since it's not their property. Nor would a fake iPhone have worked with any apps you would have purchased from the iTunes Store, any videos or movies from the iTunes Store or any updates to iOS, and since you said the iPhone had the latest updates, you at least did an iOS update which would not be possible with a fake iPhone.
If you want to do anything other than just ignore this scammer, demand to know which specific Apple Store she claims to have given the iPhone to, when she did so, and the name of the technician who claimed the iPhone was a fake. If she gives you an Apple Store, which I doubt she will, call them yourself and talk to the technician, if you get a name, or the store manager, and ask if they did indeed tell this person that the iPhone was a fake.
Or you can, as Peter said, just tell her that you're reporting her to the police as committing fraud and to your attorney, and that if she tries to press the matter you'll see her in court. I'll wager that's the last you'll ever hear from her.

Need Help Choosing A Basic Phone That Does Not Require A Data Plan

Hello, I need to replace my current basic phone and do not qualify for an upgrade yet.
I need to find a new or used phone that does not require data. Can someone please give me some models that will work that are newer?
The VZW prepaid models have to be used 6 months on prepaid before you can use them on a contract and I have a contract.

Usually on eBay, the listing will indicate if it's prepaid.
I agree with Droid Usrr that the Intensity 2 is worth checking into, because it has a great rubberized keyboard and you can get one new for less than $100.
Depending on what you're willing to spend, I also noticed that the Wal-Mart in my area is selling the brand new Intensity III off contract for $175. That way, you'd still have the year warranty on it, and it's a solid phone.
There usually are quite a few inexpensive feature phones on Craigslist, too, if you're not opposed to meeting with strangers. It's best to meet at a Verizon store and activate it before handing over your money.

Help needed about using wifi

Please can somebody tell me in words of one syllable exactly what I need to start using an ipad for surfing the internet? I want to use it to access web pages while I'm out and about. Do I need a contract with a phone carrier? Does it need to be a mobile phone carrier? Could I use my landline number if I have broadband access on that?
I just can't work out whether I can use the ipad straight away without doing anything or whether I need to involve a mobile or landline/broadband supplier.
Please help - I'm soo confused.

a Local area network also called LAN network is what most people use in their house
it's cables you connect 1 or more computers to get Internet and access files from eachother
wifi id 100% that!
just without the cable
you have wifi router with a password on
you go into the settings on the ipad and choose the wifi router name on the list and type in the password
and you're able to go online
if you are not within reach of your wifi network you need to reply on public wifi networks if any are aviable where you are at the given time some would be free some would require you to pay them for service
you only need to contact a phone carrier if you don't wish to use wifi because you have an ipad which along side wifi support 3g internet then you need to contact a carrier and get a micro sim and a contract
if you already have an mobile phone which qualify as a smart phone you may be able to use that as a wifi hotspot to get on the internet using the phone but in some places this require you to pay extre to your phone contract

Help needed about x200s

Hi people, I want to buy a x200s CTO in Australia. I don't like the ugly line on top cover of the machine. Also I want LED. I called the Lenovo Australia. They told me that every machine except SL has next generation roll cage and the x200s has the ugly line. It does not have the LED, even for the wxga+ panel.
Can anyone tell me whether they produce different x200s? I mean in US, they have LED, Next Generation ThinkPad Roll Cage technology utilizes a carbon-fiber/ glass-fiber top cove, etc. But they sell different machines in Australia?
I am confused. Hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I really appreciate your contribution.
Must the IPsec licenses be from cisco? Can I use openVPN licenses? The design will be hub and spoke because the be5000 will seat in HQ but the operation will be a mesh operation where the branches can also call each other using VoIP.
There will be 20 SIP6941 IP Phones in HQ and 6 each in all the six branches.
The PSTN connectivity if via FXO in all sites. 8 PSTN lines via FXO in HQ, 4 each in branches via FXO
I have looked at be5000 and it fits my application more than be3000. the total number of IP Phones is 56. I think using 2900 series ISR makes things less cumbersome at the branches.
Please I need to know if i am limited to using cisco ipsec vpn or i can use openVPN (my choice).
Many thanks for your help and timely advice. I appreciate it.

Help needed about thread priority

Hello, could someone help me with the priorities in java? I got 10 levels in total(1-10), but I do need at least 20 levels for my multiple threads program.
Thank you for your kind help in advance.

First, let me apologize if I am incorrect, but it seems that the native Thread implementation restricts you to 10 priorities regardless.
However, you can do just about anything you envision, but it will require some implementation on your part.
You could implement a subclass of thread that contains your priority (which could be from 1-20). You could then maintain a ThreadManager that would store all running threads, and would accept requests to start and stop threads. The ThreadManager could make decisions about which threads to run, which to interrupt, which to sleep, etc., based on your priority value.
This sounds like alot to swallow, but I'm sure it's doable if you understand threads.

Help needed about Nearline storage in BW 3.5.

Hi Guys,
Can you please provide me with some documents for implementing Nearline storage scenarios in BW 3.5.
Thanks,
Punkuj...

Hi Punkuj,
We use Nearline storage to store the data that is never been user or used very rarely.For example we have data for year 1960 in the data targets and now it is 2007.So mostly the management never uses this data or they uses them very rearly.So when we retrive the data from the data targets the DB unnecessarly reads the data every time when a report is generated on those targets.So to avoid this performance issue we store that kind of data in a seperate disk and we access that data using a multi provider when we need that in Report.This data is also known as Dormat data.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks and Regards

Help needed about JSTL

We have tomcat server, in which we are running some jsp files( which consists some bean classes). We want to convert those bean classes into jsp tag libraries.Even we have installed jakarta tag libraries , but we are unable to run jstl files. Help wanted urgently.
ThanX in advance.

Your note has two problems in it: (1) Custom tag libraries of your own making, and (2) Running JSTL. I'd like to address the second of the two.
I'm not sure what you downloaded from Jakarta. I'll assume that you're using JSTL 1.0.3 standard JSTL. (That's what I'm using.) The ZIP file I downloaded has a lib directory with 10 JARs in it. You'll need to put all 10 of them into your WEB-INF/lib directory for your app to use them.
You don't have to put a <taglib> in your web.xml, and you don't need to dig out any TLD files. The TLD files you need are already inside the standard.jar that you downloaded with the JSTL. You should not be trying to re-create what is already correct.
The pages that use the JSTL should have a tag like this near the top:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>The uri attribute value must match the value in the c.tld file located inside standard.jar exactly:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE taglib
PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd">
<taglib>
<tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version>
<jsp-version>1.2</jsp-version>
<short-name>c</short-name>
<uri>http://java.sun.com/jstl/core</uri>

Help needed about regex usage.

hi all,
i am kind of new to java.util.regex, and i can't solve this problem:
i have a big string, that actually represents the text code of a method. in this method, i have an object, called, let's say "visitor" and i call several non static methods of it. i need to search this string and put into an ArrayList<String> all the occurrences of visitor, the method called, and its parameters.
if i wasn't very clear, here is an example:
the input string: "public void test_add()
          TemplateTestMethodVisitor visitor = new TemplateTestMethodVisitor(XMLArrayListTest.class);
          XMLArrayListComparer comparer = new XMLArrayListComparer();
          while(visitor.moveNext())
               fillArrayList(visitor);
               Exception exception = null;
               try
                    _testedArray.add(visitor.getParameterAsInt("position"), ValueFactory.getMemberValue(visitor,
                              visitor.getParameterAsString("type"), "ElementValue"));
               catch(Exception e)
                    exception = e;
               ExceptionValidator.validateException(visitor, exception);
               if(exception != null)
                    continue;
               VisitorAssert.assertEquals(visitor, "The content of the array list is not as expected.",
                         visitor.getResultAsCollectionData("List"), _testedArray, comparer);
and i need to obtain an ArrayList<String> with {"visitor.moveNext()", "visitor.getParameterAsInt("position")" , "visitor.getParameterAsString("type")", "visitor.getResultAsCollectionData("List")"}. and it would be very helpful for me to do this using regex, but i can't think of a right pattern...
thank you all.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
public class TestRegexp {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
    Pattern p = Pattern.compile("visitor\\..*?\$.*?\$");
    try {
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
      String line;
      while((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
        Matcher m = p.matcher(line);
        while(m.find()) {
          System.out.println(m.group());
    } catch(IOException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}

Do not use any directory name which contains spaces (i.e. F:\Uninstall Oracle Financial). Change the directory name to be (F:\Stage11i), clean up your previous installation and start over again.
The same thing is applicable to (VC++, MKS, Cygwin ..etc)
It should work then.

Help needed about PDF - java

Hi everybody,
I just need to know if it's possible (and has been done already :) ) to take a pdf file and, using java, extract all the text boxes of it so that I can then be able to position them in a java application layout (using Swing).
I need to do that to extract all the information of the text:
- size of the page
- position of the text box
- size of the text
- font
- color
- other attributes
That's a subject that has already been discussed a lot, but I couldn't find a clear answer to that question in the forum.
I really need your help, because I already spent a lot of time searching for that, and now I start wondering if it's really possible...
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Myriam.

Hi Carlosbenfeito!
Thanks a lot for your answer!
I don't know if the pdf document is a pdf form... The only thing I know is that the pdf file I will have to extract the data from will be generated from a Quark document...
I will try to find out more.
In the same time, do you know where exactly I can find this Adobe jar? I had a look on their website, but I didn't find it...
Thanks for your help.

Help needed about Xorg.

Hi guys.
I'm became really confused about this xorg.
I would like to get my videocard working 100%
I'm about to build a Mediecenter, and got and hauppaugePVR 500 - But that's only for recording the TV ??? or is it also for wieving tv?
I have also a normal graphiccard with S-video out on. Wich one of these shold be connected to the TV. When I used the normal card - there's a lot of interference/stribes on the screen.
But is it made that you also use the Hauppauge to watch tv on?
And how do I configure xorg to handle the tv-out. I've look in other threads about this - but have not figured it out . Can someone please tell me more.

Help needed about character counting

I need to count the characters in a file and I can do it
though I need to specify which letter is the most significant,
I couldn't find a good way of programming it,
can anybody help?
Thank you

I hope it makes sense and I hope you can helpSure. Have a look at the following little class:public class CharCount implements Comparable {
   private char chr; // the character itself
   private int freq; // the number of times it occurred
   public CharCount(char chr) { this.chr= chr; }
   public char getChar() { return char; }
   public void inc() { freq++; }
   public boolean equals(Object obj) { return compareTo(obj) == 0; }
   public int hashCode() { return char+freq; }
   public int compareTo(Object obj) {
      CharCount that= (CharCount)obj;
      if (this.freq < that.freq) return -1;
      if (this.freq > that.freq) return 1;
      return this.chr-that.chr;
   public String toString() { return ""+chr; }
}... most of this class is just the obligatory hullabaloo except for the
compareTo method: if 'a' occurs more often than 'b', 'a' is considered
larger. if both frequencies are equal it considers 'b' larger than 'a'
lexicographically.
Next we implement a map that uses a Character as its key and
a CharCount as the associated value. This class can count all
characters being fed to it:public class CharConsumer {
   private Map map= new HashMap();
   public void feed(char chr) {
      Character key= new Character(chr);
      CharCount cc= map.get(key);
      if (cc == null)
         map.put(key, cc= new CharCount(chr));
      cc.inc();
   public SortedSet getCharacters() {
      return new TreeSet(map.values());
}... this class just updates the map when it receives another character.
The trickery-dickery can be found in the last method which can all be
explained if you read the corresponding API documentation.
kind regards,
Jos

Please help, re advising a phone that can bar call...

Hello
I really hope someone can help me. My student son took out his own contract when he was 18. Dolphin 15 plan. Unlimited texts. However, he managed to run up a bill of £300 in the third month (which he is repaying himself.)
Unfortunately, although he is a Chemical Engineering student, he appears to have absolutely no common sense or self control, and he cannot be trusted not to do this again. We have decided for the moment the best thing would be to to find a way of stopping outgoing calls from his phone while allowing incoming calls, and outgoing and incoming texts. We cannotcancel his contract for 18 months, so at least he could be using the phone to text.
I have third party access on his account, and with his permission I have since barred all outgoing calls from this phone through his provider. However, this also bars outgoing texts.
I have been advised that there is a way of setting the phone handset - in Fixed Dialling, so only allows set numbers to be called. However I have tried doing this on his Nokia 2680 slide, but it stops all outgoing activity - calls and texts.
I still use an ancient Nokia Classic 6310i, and this DOES allow outgoing texts while barring outgoing calls in the Fixed Dialling function. This phone is on its last legs, as the screen keeps going blank and the battery is on the blink.
So while I know this function is possible - allowing texting but not calling - I do not know if the new 6310i still has this function, of if in the the newer phones, the Call Barring and Fixed Dialling functions all now bar all outgoing activity from the phone.
If anyone can advise me of any Nokia Handset that allows texting while barring outging calls, I would really really apreciate the help. Or eve, where I can buy another Classic 6320i phone (I love it!)
Thanks

Hi lesley998
Although discontinued 5 years ago the 6310i is still available albeit re-furbished as it fits carkits of Mercedes and BMW of a certain era and it's reputation is well deserved. Here is just one such UK supplier:http://www.nokia6310i.co.uk/
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0
