HELP! Overcharges--outside of US

I'm currently outside of US. I turned on my phone for about an hour because I didn't have wifi. I assumed the data would be used from the 2 GB that I had left to use for this month (which I haven't used at all so far). This is my first time using a US phone outside of US so I didn't know the overcharge would cost so much---my normal monthly bill is $60 however, I got a notification saying it has exceeded $150 when I haven't called, texted, or used data this month. Is there anyway I can just pay what I have used....??? Thank you!

Data outside US is $20.50 per megabyte or $21,000 per gigabyte!   You must have known you just can't use your 2 GB otherwise you wouldn't have been searching only for wifi and using airplane mode.  
YOu you can try to add the global data plan retroactive to the beginning of your billing period, but will likely need to plead with the rep.   The global data plan is 100 MB for $25.

  • Still need help :( loading outside files in actionscript

    Ive been all over the forums online trying to get this
    problem fixed and no one has really settled it for me (its been
    MONTHS)
    So I'm going to attempt to be as in depth as possible and
    post code as well.
    Heres the deal- its a portfolio site, www,darrenlasso.com
    The problem is when i load multiple swf files into levels.
    When i first call on an outside swf from a button inside the main
    file the code looks something like this:
    on(release){
    _level1._visible=false;
    loadMovieNum("cover.swf", 1);
    cvrbtn._visible = false
    acibtn._visible = false
    When from inside THAT file, I want to return back to the MAIN
    navigation file, the code looks more like this:
    on(release){
    mcl.addListener(mclListener);
    mclListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip){
    mc._visible=true;
    mc.gotoAndPlay(76);
    _level1._visible=false;
    mcl.loadClip("darnen.swf", 1);
    Ive messed around with the code so many times now trying
    everyones different suggestions that i dont even know if that is
    the code I have live right now but i know its not working how i
    want it to. The problem seems to be that i can only load into level
    1, and when i do that, going between these various calls on outside
    files there is a 'flicker' of a frame or two of the OLD previously
    loaded file that will play BEFORE the new one initiates. As this is
    a portfolio site it needs to be polished so i can't have stuff like
    this plaguing it. Its been unfinished for months now because i just
    can't figure it out. Please please help me if you can.. hopefully
    you like a challenge because i just havent been able to get the
    help i need from anywhere else :/

    when i load the swf from outside, i want it to then be able
    to return to the main navigation file which i guess would be level
    0. So does that mean that the code for buttons navigating back to
    the main flash file would be more like:
    on(release){
    mcl.addListener(mclListener);
    mclListener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip){
    mc._visible=true;
    mc.gotoAndPlay(76);
    _level1._visible=false;
    mcl.loadClip("darnen.swf", 0);
    As i load in all these different files from outside I've been
    loading them all into level 1 because that seems to be the only way
    to get them to display at all with the code I'm using. I assume it
    might be better to load them all into individual levels? I'm not
    sure. I'm still just kinda learning AScript as i go along..

  • Question about the ability of Genius Bar to help with outside software...

    Hi I wasn't sure where to put this, but here's my question. I'm having a problem with the Sims 2 on my Macbook and I was wondering if I go to the Genius Bar will they be able to help me or are they strictly hands off when it's not a direct Apple product?
    Also, I bought an external hard drive in the Apple Store but it's not an Apple branded product. If I'm having a problem with that, can I go to the Apple Store?

    If it's a question about the installation, system requirements or compatibility with your MacBook, the Mac Genius can probably help. If you're having some kind of issue while using the Sims 2, you'll probably have to contact .
    The same is true with the hard drive. If you need some help getting it connected or even formatted, they can probably help. However, if it's not powering up or you're losing files or some kind of operational issue with the hard drive after it's connected, they'll probably refer you to the manufacturer.
    Usually Apple can't support other vendors' products. Someone here may be able to give you some more advice, since none of us work for Apple. There may be someone here who's already had the same issue with the Sims.

  • Noob needs help: Macbook RAM/storage upgrade advice

    Firstly, let me apologize in advance for my ignorance in this subject area!  I'm a complete noob!
    Here goes:
    I have a MacBook 7,1 (MC516LL/A) with all original, factory components, and since I've upgraded to OS X 10.7.5, it's been running incredibly S...L...O...W... which is incredibly annoying to me:P
    Out of the 250GB's of HD storage, I have about 91 free.  From my previous experience with mac notebooks, I know that I am going to need to get some more hard drive space, soon (my last iBook turned to complete crap, once I got down to 20 gigs of available memory).
    I see that I can upgrade the RAM from two, 1GB sticks to two, 4GB sticks.  From the limited research I've done, I'm under the impression that only the boot-up speed will increase slightly (please correct me if any of this is wrong). 
    I've also been reading about Solid State Drives, found some reasonably priced ones on crucial.com, and they look/sound AWESOME!  Aaaaaand the reality is that I really have no idea what I truly need.  I'm a single mom and a college student, so I'm looking for an upgrade option in the $200-300 range, *and* I'm not into graphic design, web design, or anything that requires top of the line equipment. 
    My macbook is practically glued to my hands 24/7, so I just want it to run FASTER, and I need more storage.  I don't know if this info is pertinent or helps, but outside of studying (all done with ebooks and online websites), I like to download a lot of music, watch videos, upload family pictures, browse the interwebz, etc., etc.
    What can I do to improve speed and expand storage capacity?
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

    Hello! I own a mid-2010 MacBook (a.k.a MacBook 7,1) running OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, which I use for school, and I had the exact same issues with my MacBook, before I upgraded it. I had almost filled up my MacBook's HDD and my computer's RAM was insufficient to perform any of my day-to-day tasks with ease. I upgraded the RAM from two sticks of 1GB (the factory-installed configuration) to one stick of 4GB, and I installed a 1TB HDD in place of the original 250GB HDD (my requirements were slightly different from what yours seem to be). Currently, my MacBook is a lot less laggy than it used to be (even with a HDD that's four times larger in terms of capacity installed), but it still takes a long time to start up and perform certain tasks. Therefore, from my experience, I would recommend that you do the following:
    1. Get two sticks of 2GB (2x2GB) of RAM, not one stick of 4GB (1x4GB). Even though the latter will probably be considerably cheaper than the former, I think it's worth the few extra dollars to get the former because it's much faster than the latter. You shouldn't go for anything more than 4GB of RAM in total, because it'll overload your MacBook. Trust me, that's not something you want to have to deal with!
    2. Get a 500GB or 512GB SSD, not a larger HDD. In hindsight, I don't think I even needed anything close to 1TB. I only purchased my huge HDD because it was on offer, and it was being sold (believe it or not) for less than a 500GB HDD. But if you're looking for speed, an HDD is not the way to go; they're much, much slower than SSDs, even though they're much cheaper.
    You should see an exponential increase in the speed of your MacBook. You might want to try the following websites; they offer high-quality, affordable components and I've known people (including myself) who have used their products before.

    2. Crucial (of course) - http://www.crucial.com

    Good luck speeding your MacBook up, and I hope this helped!

  • Lync 2010 client asks for credentials when outside of corporate network.

    Hello, 
    We are running Lync 2010 Enterprise. Everytime our Lync users are outside of our network and they log in to their Lync client, they get a pop-up window asking for credentials. When they log into Lync inside our network the Lync client connects automatically
    without asking for credentials. Is this normal behavior? I assumed that the Lync client would behave exactly no matter where they were connecting from. They are using Lync 2010 client on domain joined laptops, I would assume the Lync client would just use
    the same credentials they used to log in to their computers and not ask for anything. Please let me know if there is a way to stop the pop-up from showing up when people try to connect to Lync from outside our network. 
    Thanks for any help!

    Outside of the network the credential popup is for Exchange web services on the back end to check calendar info, contact lookup, etc.  If Lync is already logged in when they see the popup, this is normal behavior.

  • Installing jdeveloper online help documents(html) locally ?

    I would like to view the jdeveloper help documents outside jdeveloper
    how can I install the Jdeveloper online help(http://otn.oracle.com:8877/jdeveloper/help/), locally on my computer?
    cheers
    Russel

    Hi Russel,
    The jar files zip that you have downloaded is specifically for use with Oracle Help for Java (OHJ) - running in JDeveloper.
    Unfortunately we are not able to provide the equivalent of the HTML on-line version available on OTN for your local machine.
    You could try to use the zip file locally but it would not provide a table of contents and many of the links would not work.
    Do you hava a specific requirement for a local HTML version of the help? I can pass this on to the Documentation team as an enhancement request.
    In the meantime, your choices are to use OHJ within JDeveloper or to download the PDF version.

  • Trouble with CS5 off-line help install

    Hello,
    I can't access help files after having recently purchased and installed several copies of CS5 Web Premium.
    Here's the situation: military site with closed (non-internet) network needs CS5 to replace existing CS3 installation. Windows 32-bit. A stand-alone internet computer with cd-r drive is available, but I can't install anything on it. See the problem?
    I've already read a number of threads on this subject and all the relevant KB articles that I could find (including 84215 and 83703). I downloaded the PDF manuals individually (much later I found http://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2010/08/help-documents-for- creative-suite-5-pdf-and-html.html, which points to all of them in one place - that should be linked from the support site). Adobe phone support could not help beyond suggesting download of the PDFs.
    My developers are used to being able to hit F1 and search help, specifically in Flash for ActionScript language reference. The external PDF manuals, while useful, are not an option for this purpose - just too clumsy.
    As I understand it, the first time Adobe Community Help is run, it can optionally download all html help files for offline use. Since I can't connect the development computers to the internet, I need to download an archive of those files from elsewhere.
    It seems like I need to either:
    a) Find a magical adobe.com page with an archive of the html help files that I can download
    -or-
    b) Go home and download (on my mac) the applicable portions of adobe.com and burn to CD
         (e.g. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flash/cs/using/index.html)
    -then-
    c) Find the appropriate file location to install these files on my development computers
    d) Update any TOC or preference files so that the CS5 apps will know that the files are installed locally.
    I could also just download the html files and put them on an internal web server, but this isn't preferred since then it wouldn't be connected to the CS5 apps, unless I can point them to an arbitrary web address for when my users hit F1 for help.
    It seems like this would be a problem not just for military users but for any company that uses development computers not connected to the internet.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    P.S.
    Not sure if it's related, but in Flash Professional CS5 when attempting to request help from the menu I receive the following error:
    <Windows Internet Explorer>
    Cannot find 'file:///C:/Program%20Files/Common%20Files/Adobe/Help/en_US/Flash/CS5 /AS3LR/index.html
    I think that's after telling Community Help to work offline. In Photoshop, I get no such error, just a message that I need to access the internet to download help.

    Hi Jim:  you could try either approach (either hosting on your own intranet or copy the local help files to each machine). Here's some info that may help:
    1. the Help application relies on a small XML file called the Help Configuration file (.helpcfg). There is one for each product located in the user's Local Store.
    On Windows, look in C:\Documents and Settings\ * USER NAME* \ApplicationData\ chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1\Local Store\HelpCfg\en_US
    On Mac, look in USER NAME (Home) > Library > Preferences > chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.1 > Local Store > HelpCfg> en_US
    2. The Help Config file tells the app two very important things:
    Where to look for online content
    Where to look for download content
    There are a few other variables managed by the file but those two are the most important.
    3. Open the Help Config with a text editor and look for the following property: baseUrl="http://help.adobe.com/"
    4. Now look a little further down in the file and you should see a number of "package" elements.  Each package represents a distinct help book (i.e. "Using Flash CS 5"). The path variable is where the online HTML is located. For example, path="en_US/Flash/CS5/Using"  
    5. Look further below and you will see a variable called, downloadContent. For example, downloadContent="client.Flash_CS5_Using_en-us.zip"
    6. If you put these three elements together (baseURL + path + downloadContent), you can parse the location for each downloadable help archive like so: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Flash/CS5/Using/client.Flash_CS5_Using_en-us.zip
    So what does this mean for you? What you could do is manually download the help files and host them on your own intranet -- you can then alter the baseURLs in the Help Configs to point to your own server. This would require editing each and every HelpConfig file so this may not be scalable for a very large team. 
    Or, you could go home, fire up the Help app, download the Help content outside of your network and then copy the entire Help folder back into the Local Store for each user. The app will automatically default to local Help if it cannot detect an internet connection so your team should be able to access just fine as long as the files are in the Help folder of your Local Store. No additional edits to the config file required. 
    For your convenience, here are a few additional package URLs relevant for the Web Suite - these are the default packages that a user is prompted to download on first launch. There are many other packages defined in the help configs so there may be additional books relevant to your team.

  • Migration of Help to Drupal web site

    We are trying to move our Help section outside the
    application and onto our web site, which is based on Drupal.
    Would you happen to know how we can go about this in the
    easiest fashion?

    Hi gheiman and welcome to our community
    Unfortunately, I think we need lots more information.
    For example:
    You say you wish to move the help outside the application and
    onto your web site. So what is the application now? Is it web
    based? If it's web based, are you producing and using WebHelp
    already? Or will you need to convert from another help output type
    to WebHelp or FlashHelp or the Pro version of either?
    Are you using RoboHelp now? If so, which RoboFlavor? RoboHelp
    for Word or RoboHelp HTML?
    What is Drupal? Is that what your application is? Or is it a
    server technology?
    Without knowing the answers to these questions, it's hard to
    say what the easiest path may be.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Encrypting Adobe Air Help

    Two questions:
    1. Is there a way to encrypt (password protect) an Adobe Air Help so that a user cannot download and access the Help file outside of the application? The application data files are encrypted, and I need to encrypt the Help file (if possible).
    2. Is there a way to remove the Print icon from the Adobe Air Help file?

    Hi there
    Adobe and Microsoft are similar in this respect. Indeed, the help viewer they use is AIR based, but it's a far cry from what we are able to use ourselves. Theirs is customized in different ways. And after all, as they are the ones that created the format, it's within their realm to easily create something unique to them. Microsoft is similar with their Office Help.
    I suspect there is no print icon becuase Community help trawls through many things that aren't part of Adobe. Other blogs and web sites. So if you had an icon that allowed you to print all, there would be no telling how many reams of paper and ink refills you may need to complete the job. What Adobe did was to insert a link to a PDF that is intended for your printing pleasure.
    After seeing this post I excitedly opened my RoboHelp 9. I recalled that Adobe had added an AIR Help Skin editor and that we could also customize the icons. Sadly, it appears that we are unable to pick and choose items like the Print icon. However, a thought occurred to me on this. They do allow you to choose different icons if you like. My thought was that perhaps you could create a super tiny totally transparent icon and use it for the print. If that happened, the only way printing would be discovered would be if someone randomly happened to click the hidden spot. Not sure if that's an option for you.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Q&A Guide about ZEN Touch 2

    Hey people!
    I had time to kill, and I've been around since a while now; I now own a ZEN Touch 2 since more than 6 months. I figured out I'm able to help quite a lot of people about this device, actually (even though I don't have an astronomic number of posts), and I felt like writing a little guide about common questions about the ZEN Touch 2 could help, why not?
    First of all, this is a guide applying to the ZEN Touch 2, I don't know about the ZiiO. Maybe my tricks will work on both devices, but I can't be sure about it.
    LAST UPDATED: November 23th 2012.
    Q: Why does my ZEN Touch 2 freeze so often?
    I've got 2 theories about why these freezes happen so often: I own another Android device, which have a fairly weaker processor than the ZEN Touch 2, and it does not freeze at all. So the ZEN Touch 2 is quite powerful! But even on Android 2.2.1, it's perhaps the installed stock firmware that is unstable. That cause the problem.
    Second theory, I believe the ZEN Touch 2 don't have much RAM availible! Around 200-256 MB. What's interesting here, is that my other cellphone does have a weaker processor (600 MHz VS 800 MHz), but it also have more RAM, 512 MB! That could be the reason why the ZEN Touch 2 freeze so often, when the device is basically running out of RAM.
    Or it could be both! An unstable firmware installed, and no enough RAM. Who knows?
    Q: Okay, but how can I fix this issue?
    There's no magic way to make your device running super-fast like any other smartphone, especially if the problem is the lack of RAM, rather than the unstable firmware. The number 1 solution, it's obvious: uninstall APPs. The more APPs are installed, the more RAM they use. The more your device is going to freeze/crashe. Myself, I don't have many APPs installed, only 17 (Some of them being like 500 Ko, or even extensions or themes, that are only 150 Ko). I use my ZEN Touch 2 only for listening to music, and browsing the Internet using Flash Player. It does the job well enough.
    What you could also do, is install the APK/APP Fast Reboot Pro. I have it installed, and it free your phone memory everytime you unlock your screen, or press the widget. Extremely usefull. That'll help to prevent the ZEN from freezing, a bit.
    Well, even though I have 17 APPs installed, including Fast Reboot Pro, my Touch 2 still crash, rarely. I've been experiencing a serious issue about my ZEN booting loop, for no reason at all! Had to boot in recovery mode, and wipe the data. Which lead me to think the stock firmware can also be the problem for unstability.
    Q: How do I install APPs on the ZEN Touch 2 ?
    Since the Market is unavailible (I've tried to install it without any success. However, seems like some people managed to install it, most probably with root. I've tried, but cannot get it to work, myself), you'll have to download APK files. You have the choice to download from ZiiO Space, or from any other website. Download an APK file, save it anywhere on your SD Card, then open the built-in APP "Explorer" on the ZEN. Lauch the .APK, install it, and you're done.
    Remember to check "Enable unknown sources" on the "Manage Applications" menu!
    A fastest method, you could manually download and install "SlideME". I've used it for a while, and it's a Android-Market / Google-Play "Like". It'll work without any problem on the ZEN.
    Q: Is the ZEN Touch 2 rootable ?
    Yes it is!
    First thing first, rooting your device will void your warrantee. I did it, since I live in Canada, and I have no intention of returning the device in California if it break. I am not responsible if you brick your device doing the process, even though nothing wrong should happens. If you don't know what is Root Access, you better not doing this.
    I've used the following method. It worked like a charm.
    Install the Z4Root APK. Now your Antivirus (Computer maybe, and ZEN Touch 2 antivirus as well, if you have one) will warn you it contain a malware. Z4Root is not a virus! Simply because it perform actions that can be dangerous to your device, that's why you get a warning.
    Launch Z4Root, and press the "Root" button (Not temporary). Z4Root will do the rest automaticly! Then your device will reboot, which is normal. Don't do anything during the rooting process, however!
    If the rooting worked, you should now see the APP "Superuser" in your APP Drawer.
    You still have the option to Un-Root your device - assuming you want to return the ZEN to the store, for example - by launching Z4Root again, and press the button "Un-Root". Simple as that.
    Q: Can you install a Custom ROM such as Cyanogenmod ?
    I've tried without any success... I was hoping install another firmware would make the device as stable as it should be.
    I installed ROM Manager, but when the APP ask you to backup your current bootloader and select your device, the ZEN Touch 2 isn't in the list, so I couldn't perform the backup.
    There are more complex ways of installing another ROM, but I haven't tested those. This is becoming quite dangerous.
    I requested help on XDA Forums, but haven't got any, sadly.
    Q: The GPS doesn't work !
    Okay, so I don't know if your device really is defective, but I can tell you about my experience; I always disliked Google Maps APP, since it requires you have a Wi-Fi connection availible to use your GPS. Not pretty helpful when outside.
    What I recommend you, is to install the APP Locus (Keep that in mind: the more APPs you install, the more your device will freeze.). Free version is powerful enough. What I like about this magical APP, it allows you to download maps, so that you can view them offline (They are pretty big in size)! Download a few maps, and activate your GPS, it should seek your position.
    I believe when people says their GPS doesn't work, it's mainly because the ZEN Touch 2 GPS is really slow to find your position. Really. I first had trouble with this too, and for the GPS do to his things, this can takes up to 15-30 minutes, no kidding. And when the GPS work, it have chances to loose your position randomly.
    So yeah, sad to say that, but the GPS on the Touch 2 isn't the best. My position is find instantly on my other 600 MHz smartphone (LG Optimus One).
    Q: What is the Recovery Mode, and how do I access it ?
    You can access Recovery Mode by holding the HOME button and then turning ON your device at the same time. This menu can be really useful, and even save your device, like it did for me.
    Here are the options availible:
    - Reboot System Now;
    - Apply Sdcard : update.zip;
    This is used to update your firmware if you're still on Android 2.1. You could also install Custom ROMs with the filename update.zip that you've put to the root of your internal storage. Highly not recommended to install any Custom ROM, since these ROMs aren't customized for the ZEN Touch 2, simply!
    - Wipe Data / Factory Reset;
    This delete all of your data on the ZEN, to bring it back to his original state. For some reason, when I used this option, it kept everything that's on my internal storage (Music, Pictures..). GLAD that did. What I've lost, were the APPs I installed, and my Android settings. My APPs were all backed up, so that was no big deal. I wiped the device 3 times, and I can confirm that the data in /mnt/sdcard (The internal storage where you put your music, on USB) isn't deleted. All you have to restore is APPs (If they're backed up, that's fast) and ZEN settings.
    Also, be advised that wiping the device does not "unroot" the ZEN - Superuser APP is still there, and the device is still rooted. Notice that if you have uninstalled system APPs (see below), the APPs won't be reinstalled automatically. You'll have to reinstall them manually, if you want them back - hope you have a backup of these APPs!
    I had to use this option to stop my ZEN from booting in loop. I thought it wouldn't change anything!

    Wipes the cache partition of the device to clear all the data accumulated there over use.
    Thanks to Haroon Q. Raja from AddictiveTips for the info.
    Q: Would you qualify the ZEN Touch 2 as a durable unit ?
    Well, "on the outside", yes. People (Not me! :P) dropped my ZEN twice, without any consequence (That freaked me out).
    Maybe I was lucky, don't know. But durable "on the inside", the firmware and all this stuff, it's a no-no. I should you have more chance that your ZEN will die for no reason because of the firmware, rather than die because you dropped it (Well, just don't drop it in the pool...).
    Q: The stock music player suck, I have no control at all !
    What I recommend you to install (Personally) :
    PlayerPro for the look;
    PowerAMP for functionalities. I used PowerAMP, since it sort my music better. I've switched to NRG music player, since PowerAMP became glitchy, for some reason.
    Both are shareware, but since there's no access to the Market, you have no choice, but to download illegally. I apologize Creative, for approving the download of APPs, but what else can we do? Simply make the Markey availible, that will sove this issue.
    If you plan on getting PowerAMP, get it here, along with the Full Version Patch (You HAVE to be rooted for this to work! Tested, and work in my case):
    http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic....fdb7e20fd84c70
    1. Unistall your current version of PowerAMP.
    2. Install PowerAMP.2.0.4.467 APK (Do not run it!)
    3. Install PowerAmpPatcher by ChelpuS APK
    4. Start the Patcher, and press the button.
    5. Reboot the ZEN, then start PowerAMP. That should do it.
    Warning: You will loose all your previous PowerAMP settings, however!
    Since the ZEN Touch 2 is not a Google cellphone / has no Android Market, this is the only way to have PowerAMP all the time on your ZEN.
    NRG Music Player is pretty decent as well, it can play different formats that PlayerPro can't. Still a shareware, but easy to download and install without hassle.
    Q: Which Photo Gallery do you recommend ?
    Everyone agree, nothing is worst than the Android stock Gallery, super slow, and doesn't sort your pictures at all! Again, I have 2 recommendations:
    Grab Quickpic or Picturen. Both are extremely light (500 Ko), fast and there are a lot of zoom steps, for us ZEN Touch 2 owners without any multi-touch support! You can also hide the useless folders, or add a password to these hidden folders, if you prefer!
    JustPictures! is also excellent, as well. Take a bit more space, a bit slower, but the interface is more attractive, and One-Touch zoom is supported. Some functions that are in QuickPic aren't in this APP, but I feel like JustPictures sort my photos better. I can put differents "accounts" or "folders" to sort all my pictures.
    Screw the original 3D Gallery!
    Q: Any browser I should get ?
    That really depend on what you do...
    Read this article, from november 2011:
    http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Android-...view-1705.html
    Opera Mini is lightning fast, but unfortunately, Flash Player is unsupported on this browser!
    Note: Avoid browsing the Internet with a ZEN full of APPs, you'll get in trouble. I did this, and this was a nightmare, freezing all the time, have to reset...
    I do this now, but with my 17 APPs installed. It's quite OK, I should say. Especially that I use Flash Player a lot.
    Q: Any Home Replacement you recommend ?
    I've been using Go Launcher Ex for a while, because it's resonably fast, beautiful and way customizable; ADW Laucher is pretty fast, too. I've now switche to Nemus Launcher - way lighter (The GO Dev Team applications really are getting bloated by useless features, sadly), and still pretty beautiful. Go Launcher Ex is more customizable, but is getting bigger and bigger in size (And RAM, maybe. Not sure.). 8-10 MB or up for an APP? Even for a Home Screen, I hope you're kidding me.
    Both APPs allow you to add folders to the APP Drawer ! Excellent!
    Q: I want to disable / customize the lockscreen.
    Disable the lockscreen: NoLock;
    Customize the lockscreen: WidgetLocker.
    Q: Does the games play well ?
    Yes, pretty good, with the 800 MHz processor of the ZEN Touch 2 !
    Comparing it to the 600 MHz processor of my LG Optimus One, there really is a noticeable differece in fluidity. The vast majority of the games doesn't lag on the ZEN Touch 2, that's great.
    If you want to try those games emulators (SNES, Genesis...), go ahead, they work decently. Unfortunately, since the Touch 2 doesn't have multitouch, that's a problem, but try to set Left-Right as volume Up-Down to move your caracther, it's pretty playable and fluid enough. The best games are the RPGs, for sure, since multitouch isn't necessary at all.
    There are also 3D emulators, such as N64oid or PSX4Droid; these also work, but watch out! At that point, 800 MHz is not enough for these games to be "playable". Super Mario 64, for example, is the most playable game availible for N64oid, and still then, it is really slow (Not that enjoyable, seriously).
    You're free to try N64oid or PSX4Droid for fun, but just saying, if you want to freeze your device, this is the way to go.
    Super Mario 64 shouldn't freeze instantly your device. However, Mario Kart 64, Donkey Kong 64 or Tony Hawks (Tested) freeze your device for sure - you wouldn't even get past the "Press Start" screen. My advice: only try Super Mario 64.
    Still then, the ZEN does play games (2D or 3D) smoothly enough!
    Q: My ZEN keep booting in loop! What should I do ?
    That happened to me once in a while, and this is freaky.
    "ZEN Touch 2" screen, "Touch the Sound of Perfection screen" again, and again, and again...
    First: wait. Maybe it'll boot
    If your launcher still doesn't start, reset button (Inside the SD Card slot, very tiny) is your only choice, of course. Reset, then power it up again. It booted for me all the time, except once.
    If that still doesn't work: Recovery Mode, like stated earlier.
    Now, here's what could happen if you reset during the boot sequence; I got this extremely annoying problem like 3 times. Hooray, you can get to the launcher!
    Now, what can unfortunately happen, is that you get random popup like "SmartKeyboard Pro Force Close", this stuff. You'll keep getting these popups. That mean the vast majority of your 3rd Party APPs are corrupted, and you'll have to uninstall, then install again almost every single APP... This is a serious pain!
    Now, don't install again. It is very important that you uninstall first, then reinstall. Otherwise, it won't work. Luckylli enough, your stock APPs will remain intact (Default Music Player, ZiiO Space, Explorer...)
    Hope you don't get this problem!
    Q: The ZEN freeze at "Touch the Sound of Perfection" screen...
    I would suggest you to wait for a while; I guess it's because the ZEN is getting too hot. Reset the device so it can power OFF, and wait for the ZEN to cool down a bit (Do not reload it, unless you don't have the choice to.), and try again later. Also try to connect the ZEN to USB, it'll power ON on it's own, perhaps it'll get to the Home Screen. If it still freeze, too bad: do a factory reset (that should work).
    Q: Can I uninstall preinstalled System APPs (ZiiO Space, Audible, Default Browser) ?
    Yes, you can! I'll show you the easiest way to do it!
    If this isn't appropriated, ask me Creative, I'll remove this question.
    First, you HAVE to be rooted, again!
    Second: doing this can be seriously dangerous if you delete a APP that is required for the system to work, you could really kill your ZEN! Again, I take no responsability if you kill your ZEN because of this!
    Okay then, download the APP SDK Stock APP Removal (Thanks to the developpers!):
    http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&...vTHqe6KdBudQLg
    Install it (If you have an antivirus on your ZEN, it'll detect it as dangerous. Ignore it. It's normal, since the APP allow you to delete system APPs, which can be dangerous), run it.
    You can now see a list of every single APP installed on your ZEN, including the system APPs. ALWAYS make a backup of the APP when you delete one! The APP itself being extremely easy to use, no need to explain how it works, you'll understand it by yourself, for sure.
    Just keep in mind, it is your responsability to verify if it's safe to remove an APP or not! Always check!
    I used the APP to remove ZiiO Space, Audible and the default Browser (Without any consequences), since I never use those. Not sure if it's safe to delete the default 3D Gallery.
    Mainly because I want to free up the most space as possible on my ZEN to avoid freezing issues, of course!
    Q: How can I backup my APPs ?
    It's quite easy to do. I've realised backing up my APPs was very important, on the ZEN Touch 2, since you never know when the device is going to freak out, when you'll have to do a reset, and that your APPs get corrupted!
    You can of course use Titanium Backup, but I would recommend Smart App Protector / Pro, for his simplicity.
    The main purpose of this APP, is to password/pattern-protect your APP (Which does the job perfectly well), but you can also backup (on SD Card, well, ZEN internal storage) and restore your APPs extremely easilly. No root required, here!
    This APP completely saved me, when I wiped my device...
    Q: What about my contacts ?
    In the stock Contacts APP, there's an option to do a full backup of your contacts, on the ZEN internal memory.
    If for some reason, you can't find it, download the APP Go Contacts Ex (In my opinion, the best contacts APP availible). This APP also have an option to backup and restore your contacts super easilly.
    Q: In some cases, the ZEN Touch 2 isn't loud enough!
    Something I would recommend is using a different music player with an equalizer. PowerAMP + PowerAMP patcher should do the job. Open the equalizer and increase the value of the first bar on the left. You'll get a small volume boost. I do use it for some tracks that have the volume REALLY low.
    Q: The Agenda / Calendar does not work at all! When I start it, I get the message "You have no calendar" !
    Dear calendar... It's always been a pain to set the calendar on the ZEN Touch 2, since it's not a cellphone...
    2 recommendations:
    First: forget it. I've tried, and seems this is possible to get this to work, but quite uneffective. First, you should download the APP Calengoo, a more than excellent calendar. It'll sync with your Google Calendar, so try using a Gmail account, to get it to work. It seems to have troble with the sync, and it doesn't work all the time.
    Haven't done this in a while, this is seriously a pain. I'm using the calendar on my LG smartphone anyways. I won't be able to help that much about this issue.
    Second: what you could do instead, is to download the calendar Jorte. It's a standalone agenda, so it does not requires sync to work at all. It'll work without any problem on your ZEN, you don't have to set-up anything.
    However, I fairly prefer Calengoo over Jorte, way more powerful.
    Q: Where's the reset hole?
    Inside the micro SD slot. You can use a lockpipe (recommended) or a linguee mine (less safe).
    Q: Is the battery removable?
    Unfortunately, no. Unless you manage to open the ZEN in a very specific way, using a knife and a hairdryer to make the glue melt, I've read. You should probably gain access to the battery this way, but I've been completely unable to know the exact battery type (Lithium-Ion, but details), so replacing it would be a real pain. Creative couldn't help me, since they do not encourage self repair; they recommended me to purchase another device if this case happen, which I honnestly find pretty ugly.
    Q: The default Android keyboard is not good enough...
    The APK "Smart Keyboard Pro" is the answer.
    Q: I would like to quickly turn ON WiFi, and ajust screen brightness without going in the Settings all the time.
    Grab the APK "Extended Controls".
    That's it, hope this guide was helpful!

    I'm pretty happy with the device--everything pretty much works--but doubt my experience would have been so positive without this guide. I do have some observations as a kind of follow up.
    1. I'd recommend staying with Creative's web browser. I tried a couple of alternatives. I tried Opera and Firefox. I thought they were painfully slow. I quickly abandoned them. The default browser seems good enough. That's not really what I got the zen for.
    2. I bought PowerAmp. I had issues where it would work for a few days and then fail with licensing issues. Reinstalling fixed matters, then the licensing failure recurred. So I tried ProPlayer. To me, it's better. I like the way it handles folders.
    3. I bought Locus Pro. It's pretty good. I like the ability to download a map so you're not tied to the internet. The GPS is slow, but it does work.
    4. I did root the device with z4root. For me, the only advantage seems to be that I need to be rooted to get ClockSync to work. Being able to sync the device's clock with NTP is a really professional touch.
    5. I use Go Launcher Ex (paid version). One thing to mention is that the default launcher has a Bluetooth widget which doesn't seem to survive the installation of Go Launcher Ex. I installed another Bluetooth widget I found on AndroidPit App Center. By the way, this App Center seems pretty decent, since Google Play isn't supported. (I also use the SlideME Marketplace.)
    6. I like the Go Power Manager for monitoring the battery. It has a widget and power usage modes that are quite good.
    7. I don't seem to be having lock up problems. (Note that I only use the default browser). I think this may be due to my being really careful about RAM usage. There are a set of things I've done in this area. First, I use StartupManager. (This is a second reason to root the device.) This keeps the things running at start up to the minimum you want. I've also installed FastReboot. I run this from time to time. But there are two other things that I really rely on. One is the Go Task Manager. This lets you monitor RAM usage and kill things to recover RAM. Another thing I use is a widget--I can't remember where it came from--that displays RAM usage on the home panel and a button in the shape of a broom, which, when tapped, recovers RAM. I think this is part of Go Task Manager.
    8. It seems obligatory to have a scanner app for all the 2-D bar codes that have sprung up everywhere. I haven't seen any advice about which app is preferred. I'm using Unibet Scanner, which seems to work.
    9. Because Google Play isn't supported, I've had to get some things via googling for apks. One finds these in strange quasi legal places and I worry about viruses. I'd be interested in advice regarding a virus scanner.
    Thanks again for the guide. -- al
    Thank you very much!
    1. Maybe you want to try Dolphin Browser Mini / HD, it's pretty powerful. But if you're looking for a lighter web browser, you could give BoatBrowser Mini a shot, if you want to.
    2. I've read that PowerAMP cannot activate on a non-Google phone, which I find pretty ridiculous.. I have to patch it with an illegal app, but now I get that strange noise when my music play, and the app is basically dead, unless I reinstall and loose all my settings!
    7. That's the right thing to do. If you don't have much APPs installed, that shouldn't lock up.
    9. Same here. I've used Lookout Antivirus before, but you wouldn't be able to uninstall it, if you're not rooted. I've then switched to Zoner Antivirus (Free). Less known, but for some reason, I've read it detected more viruses than any other free Android antivirus.
    Enjoy the ZEN Touch 2.

  • My ovi store and certificate

    My nokia N73 ovi store is not responding(not working) but at first it is working tried to update it but it would'nt come.all that can be seen there is this application is no longer available on your device. So can some one kindly help me outside there please!!! Secondly any time that i download an application and am trxing to instal it a dialoge box appears writen inside certificate expired.please help.!!!
    Thank u!!!
    xours customer

    @lildrake
    Are you referring to accessing OVI Store via browser or application upon device?
    AFAIK there is a version of OVI Store circulating for S60 3rd Ed. FP1 as installed to my N95 after "hard reset" but N73 is original S60 £rd Ed.:http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Online-services-from-Nokia-Nokia/N95-is-not-supported-by-ovi-store/m...
    If you are referring to .sis applications sourced outside of Nokia/Ovi Store the Symbian certificate has expired upon a number of these now, you have to reset date upon device to a previous time perhaps start with 2010 and change it back to current date after successful installation; it can unfortunately be a matter of trial and error to hit the right one!

  • HP Deskjet F380 problem printing with airport extreme

    Have tried everything under the sun from the apple and HP support websites and cannot get my printer to work wirelessly. When I try to add my printer, I get error message "-9672". Any other suggestions. Already spent 90 minutes on HP support and they gave me "their best effort", meaning they didn't think they could really help with outside products. Thanks.

    Hello jds17. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations.
    Take a look at one of these iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility links, depending on which AirPort base station you have:
    o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or AirPort Express Base Station (AX)
    o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
    If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also, you may find the following Apple article helpful.

  • Installing Leopard 10.5.1 on PowerMac G4 MDD

    I have a PowerMac G4 MDD dual processor 1.25 Ghz, 1.024 GB Ram, with 115 GB internal Apple issued hard drive. The ram, keyboard and mouse are Apple original issue.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.2.1 (6R73) on the original hard drive.
    I am attempting to install Leopard 10.5.1 from an Apple DVD. (The Family 5 pack license) and have not been successful despite many attempts.
    The Apple Studio display is connected to an Apple issued video card. The Mac came with an Ultra SCSI card. I removed it.
    I installed a new Seagate Barracuda 320 GB ATA/6 7200 RPM 3.5 16 MB on the same buss as the original hard drive. I did not move the original hard drive from its original position. The Seagate hard drive jumpers are set to Cable Select. This drive would not accept installation of Mac OS 10.5. It also would not Verify or Repair. “Invalid B-Tree Header” was an unrepairable error. I exchanged that drive for another identically rated drive, and began again.
    I verified the 10.5.1 install disk media twice. No error messages. Visual inspection of disk shows some minor scuffs, but they were on the disk when received. The disk package was sealed.
    I have formatted the target drive using Apple Disk Utility--the Mac OS 10.2.1. compatible version. It has passed the Verify routine many times.
    I have run the “Install New System and the “Erase and Install” many times.
    I have run a CD/DVD lens cleaning disk once. No help.
    System preferences set to Never sleep. Screen saver turned off. Not connected to any network during install attempts.
    No other PCI cards or any other modifications to the machine.
    I created a new Administrator account, logged in and attempted an install. Install failed. Error message: Cannot validate “BaseSystem’ package.
    On some install attempts, some files were written to the target hard drive but not enough to constitute a functional system “Install Failed” message appears after about 2-4 minutes.
    On other attempts, the install would hang in less than 2-4 minutes.
    I have an identical PowerMac G4 MDD dual processor 1.25 Ghz, 1.024 GB Ram, with 115 GB internal hard drive on which the 10.5 DVD Leopard disk installed on an identical Seagate 320 GB hard drive on the first attempt. Both G4’s were purchased new on the same date from the same retailer.
    The only differences between my two G4 MDD’s are:
    1. that the problem G4 is running 10.2.1 on the original hard drive, and the working G4 is running 10.2.8 on the original hard drive. (I am not attempting to install 10.5 on that drive.)
    2. that before installing 10.5.1, I moved the original 115 GB hard drive on the successful G4 to the slower buss and put two Seagate 320 GB drives on the faster buss previously occupied only by the original 115 GB hard drive.
    3. I have not checked to see if the ram chips on the two G4’s are exactly identical manufacture, etc. Also have not compared every detail in System Profiler to determine if build number, etc. are identical.
    To test the effect of drive position on the problem G4 MDD, I moved the original 115 MB hard drive to the slower buss, and put the Seagate target drive in the Master position on the faster buss cable. An Erase and Install attempt failed. Error message: “The installer could not verify the ‘BaseSystem’ package. Three folders were installed on this attempt. “BaseSystem.pkg.152.Mrqnl2” of zero KB, “Library” of zero KB, and “private” of 64 MB. On a previous attempt, the BaseSystem folder was about 292 Mb.
    Sorry this is so long but I wanted to avoid the first thirty questions clarifying things I missed.
    I would appreciate your help. Thanks.

    Not having a firewire cable at hand, I transplanted the target drive to the successful install G4 so that I was installing on the successful G4 using a "successful CD/DVD drive" on to the target Seagate Drive. WORKED the first attempt.
    Believing that the knowledge gained by these tedious exercises in troubleshooting should be shared and added to the public record, the following should be noted.
    Clearly, either the problem G4 MDD has a problem, or the CD/DVD drive in the G4 MDD has a problem with installing Mac OS 10.5. A gambler would bet on the CD/DVD drive having some issue and not the Mac G4.
    It is noteworthy that the CD/DVD drive in question has successfully read and burned CD's and verified the Mac OS 10.5 Install DVD without error, hence, in all of those actions, indicated no error or problems at all, yet, appears to be the problem. Perhaps INSTALL of Mac OS 10.5 raises some issue with the CD/DVD drive that the other successful actions (reading and burning of CD's) does not raise. I have no other reasonable explanation.
    My complimentary Apple Care for my purchase of a family pack Leopard 10.5 treatment was that since I was not installing 10.5 on my "main drive" any help was outside my Apple Care coverage. (The subject drive was on the Master position of the fastest ATA cable, and to my non-technical, dumb lawyer approach to things, was the "Main Drive.)
    Of course, a prudent person would install a new operating system on a clean drive without trashing (and jeopardizing) a working operating system (and the data on that drive) until certain that the new operating system was fully functional and non-destructive, before switching to the new operating system. That concept appears outside the scope of complimentary AppleCare. Even more relavant, given comments in the Apple knowledge base about the disasterous consequences of interrupting an install.
    Thank you to Eustice who was precisely on track as near as we will probably ever know.
    I have spent nearly 8 days messing with this,(well spent)and, read nearly 1,000 questions and replies on various forums on other issues beyond this which have solved many questions I have not posted. To all of the true giants of technical genius who have helped me and so many others in this forum, THANK YOU.

  • Keeps asking for iTunes password

    Every once in a while when I unlock the iPad, it asks me for my iTunes password. I think that it might be related to a movie rental download that I have paused (probably because this problem has been popping up ever since I paused the download), but I don't know for sure. Any ideas?
