How should i know nokia bluetooth dun supported ph...

before i buy any new nokia phone, how should i know if given nokia phone support Bluetooth dun profile.
i have installed bluevpn app on my samsung tab and it connects to my nokia n8 via bluetooth to access internet coz n8 support bt dun profile.
i also have nokia 114(nokia s40) but bluevpn never recognize it, maybe nokia 114 bluetooth does not support dun profile.
one more thing how does nokia 6700 has dun profile, its old s40 phone where as my nokia 114 is new s40 phone.
thanks.

well Abi99, 12year wait is over, always check official page for every detail.
between, when you check nokia 301 official global page it shows dun profile under bluetooth specification.

Hi,
how do i know if my T61 laptop has a bluetooth adapater ? On the link below the screen i see near the wifi link also a bluetooth indicator.. ( though it is off ).

no you can't upgrade the GPU, you can use something like vidock though.

How do you know what Mac Mini version you are getting?

I heard that as of September 2005, Apple had completly updated there Mac Mini's.. I heard that they put in a 64mb 9200 Graphic Card, and all had Bluetooth and Airport.. But, how would I know that what I am getting is the updated version? Compusa's Mac Mini has the July 2005 config posted, but no September updated specs..
Thanks! If I can get this issue resolved, I might be picking up the September 05 Mac Mini. I'm new, so I hope I posted this on the right place!

Will it be just luck if I pick up the updated version
or does the box state the actual spec's in the
store?
If not, then this really will get madd. I was
thinking about switching over to Mac from WXP but if
they can't market/organize there specs better then
Apple won't get my XP to Mac switch. Plain and simple.
All you can do is assume that the specification Apple quote for the mini, and that is printed on the box, is the specification of the system you are buying. If it turns out to be uprated, you are fortunate, but otherwise it'll be exactly what you paid for.
Clearly, if Apple were ONLY selling uprated models, the specification they quote would be changed to reflect that fact.
The decision to purchase a system should be based on whether the model available meets your needs. As to Apple not being able to organize their specifications better, you might consider the possibility that the reason they don't quote better specifications for minis being sold is because not all minis being sold meet those improved specifications.

How to completely turn off Bluetooth and Wireless

Hey everybody,
I'm running Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp and I was wondering if anyone can assist me in how to completely turn off Bluetooth and Wireless connectivity so that I can reserve as much batter life while being in class taking notes without a plug-in source, but not uninstall. I know there is a Bluetooth control panel and I disabled it there but under "connect to" its still remains there. Basically I want to have the Bluetooth and Wireless turned off completely when I startup and still have the icons shown in the taskbar to let me know that they are still there.
Thanks!

Joergen Thomson, I can see that you have the same thoughts like I do, I wish they could release a software that is stable and better then this.
I dont have the energi or time to report all flaus back to cisco, this product have taking to much of my time and frustration already. Thank you so much for all the time you spend to try get this product stable and hopefully a good product.
I have a costumer that have a webservice that is IP restricted, For now I have to define more then 93 policys openening for the same service because this doesnt handle address list and groups. And all the times I had to set it back to factory default becasue of HTTP Admin server stopped, VPN Problem, Firmware Upgrades, "Packet Loss" and so on takes alot of time becasue I need to reconfig policies back.
For now to they release a firmware is stable I have take this piece off the network and put the back a old Fortinet 60 box.

How would I know that my phone is not fake?

My iphone4 have a different regulatory logo printed at the back than the usual iPhones here in my country, how would I know that my phone is not fake? i bought it from Thailand but its regolatory logo seems to be 'South Korea'.

These days it is pretty difficult to spot fake ones. You can always compare your specs to the ones listed on Apple's official iPhone page and see if it matches up.
A few things fake iPhones can have that real ones dont: FM Radio, Expandable storage, colors other than black or white, Dual-Sim, stylus use (not compatible with a real iPhone), removable battery, lack of wi-fi or bluetooth. And of course if you can't use it in iTunes, that's a giveaway.

How do I know if I have an Airport Card

How do I know if I have an Airport Card? I know when I purchased the computer I got the bluetooth but don't recall about Airport. Do they come together or separate?

If there is a Apple Store or CompUSA near you, you can get the Airport card from them for $99 plus tax. Either store will require you to have them install it though. The Apple Store installed the Airport Card I purchased from them for free since I just bought the Mini. I don't know what either store charges for installation but I strongly recommend not trying to install the Airport Card yourself because it is one of the harder upgrades for the Mini to do.

How to change Major/Minor bluetooth device type?

I have a fleet of 8540w that will be used in a medical field service application. The field devices are bluetooth devices and will only pair with a device that has a Bluetooth major type of Medical Equipment. How can I change the bluetooth major device type that is reported by the notebook to the field devices?

I would have thought so, too. However, the mouse showed up with the name on a new MBP that it had not been paired with before. So, either the mouse remembers it's name, or there is some sort of sync of Bluetooth device information via Apple ID or the like. Otherwise, the MBP could not have know the name that it was given on the iMac...

How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband?

How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband? I can't get it to work after many tries.

I can pair the headphones with the computer but the sound from GB is distorted and muffled. I can barely hear it. The set works with iTunes, but not with GarageBand.

When I login I get a message "aosnotifyd wants to use your confidential information stored in "my name" in your keychain." How do I know if it is safe to allow this? Can anyone advise please?

Every time I login I get the message "aosnotifyd wants to use your confidential information stored in "my name" in your keychain." How do I know if it is safe to allow this? Can anyone advise please?

My immediate reaction is to deny.
Have you downloaded or installed any application that may relate to the abbreviation AOS? It may not necessarily be the application's name, could be the developer or distributor.
As it's occuring at log-in, go to System Preferences > Accounts > your account > Login Items and look for a related item. If there's one there, right-click (or ctrl click) on it and select Reveal in Finder. That will show you where the originator of the item is on your system and should give you more of a clue as to what it is.
I'd remove the item from login items anyway (highlight and click the minus sign at the bottom of the window). There shouldn't be anything trying to use your keychain info to notify anyone.

How do I know external hard drive is working?

Sorry for the simplistic nature of the questions but here goes:
Purchased a Toshiba external hard drive - plugged it in and Time Machine asked a few questions and soon it asked if I wanted to back up my internal hard drive.
After 40 plus minutes the task was completed - it stopped doing whatever it was doing - that much I'm certain.
How do I know the Toshiba is continuing to back up material? The light on the Toshiba is 'on' at times and 'off' on other times - so it's backing material up when the light is on??? Automatically, on its own?
Time Machine and/or the Toshiba do not appear to have any schedule for routine back-up (such as one would find on an anti-virus application), is there a way to schedule a backup?
Under Time Machine preferences it shows the Toshiba as the external disk. Plus I just noticed that it states the next back up will be 8:34 am today - 22 minutes from right now. What an odd time and it isn't a time I selected, at least I don't think so!
How do I access the Toshiba to see what, if anything, it has backed up?
Finally, assuming the external has backed up all the important data and should my (brand new - but that's another story) hard drive crash, how do I get the computer to ignore the damaged internal hard drive and start using the Toshiba?
As you can tell these question would be easily answered by most anyone with a modicum of computer knowledge but for me, thank goodness for Apple Discussion!
Thanks in advance.
Bob

How do I know if my MBP will benefit from heatsink paste reapplication?

Dear Mac Users
I know the theme of hot MacBook Pro's has been done to death, but I would like to add my two pennyworth with respect to the specific question: How do I know if my MBP will benefit from reapplication of the heatsink compound? I have trawled numerous very long threads here and not found a satisfactory answer. The reapplication of the heatsink paste is a bit of a schlep and not without some risk of breaking it, so it would be good to know if the benefit is worth the risk.
One common question is: "Are my MBP temperatures unusual?". A useful mac temperature database can be found at the following link:
http://www.intelmactemp.com/list
Consulting this list should set some parameter space for many users - there does seem to be considerable variability - suggesting highly variable quality of heat sink paste application by Apple. In my particular case I have an early 2011 MBP (i7, quad core, 2.2GHz). This certainly ran very hot. I even had a burn on my thigh from it, which took a while to heal. I know, they are notebooks, not laptops, but still . . . . To put very hot into perspective, the CPU was sitting at over 60C at idle, and whole case would be hot to the touch, such that resting your hands on it was uncomfortable. And yes, the computer was idling, there were no rogue processes chewing up cycles. At full load, the CPU would run at 90C and the whole thing would get very hot. I avoided running major projects or rendering jobs on it to preserve it from heat fatigue - the warranty is now up.
My first attempt at reducing the temperatures, was to clean it. The clue was in the USB/Firewire etc ports. All were very fluffy, which suggested that there was a lot of crud in the heatsink fins. Fixing this was simple; adopt anti-static precautions; remove the back panel; blow air into the exhaust vents at the base of the screen. Numerous large fluff bunnies popped out of the fans and elsewhere. Alternatively, you can unscrew the two fans and partially lift them out (without removing the power cables to the motherboard). Major fluff on the heatsink fins can then be tweezered out, prior to blowing it through, to ensure all debris is removed. I did this subsequently on my Core 2 Duo MBP. After defluffing the idle i7 CPU temperatures dropped from 60C to 43C, but perhaps of more importance was that the whole case was much cooler and the keyboard temperature was close to ambient - much nicer to use.
So that fixed the major heat problem. However, the question remained, would I see any further improvements by stripping the thing down and reapplying the heatsink paste? What I was looking for in this forum was a rule of thumb based on temperature measurements to help me make an informed decision on whether to strip the thing down. As my machine was out of warranty, I wasn't worried about voiding that. Also, where I am there is zero support (Africa), so Genius Bar or similar was not an option. But jiggering a 14month (very expensive) laptop was not something I wanted to do for thrills. The data in many of the posts did not provide any answers. In the end I made some measurements and decided to do the fix. The step by step instructions I followed were very clear and can be found for many Macs/models at:
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac
This guide made life a lot less stressful, as pulling a connector the wrong way could trash the motherboard, and those connectors are so very tiny and fragile. It is very important to take it slow and follow each step to the letter (and not skip steps inadvertently). My before and after heatsink paste fix temperature data are shown below. The idle temps are improved, while the full load temps look like a marginal improvement. However, CPU temperature is not the only story. Certainly after the fix, the whole case is generally cooler, so the heat extraction system is working better. Also, the CPU before and after temps are quite similar at full load, but that assumes the CPU is running at the same power. I do not know enough about the i7 architecture to say if the before speed was being limited by heat, while in the after case the turbo-boost was able to run out to the maximum. Unfortunately, I didn't do any CPU performance tests. So, based on temperatures alone, it looks like a marginal improvement, but it is certainly making a difference to case temperatures.
Note all temperatures were measured at an ambient temperature of 20C on a flat, hard surface using Marcel Bresink's Temperature Monitor. Fan speed was measured using the Fan Control software - set to allow firmware control at idle.

Back to my original question: How do I know if my MBP will benefit from reapplication of the heatsink compound? I think temperatures alone will not give a good answer - mainly because the CPU probably has variable output - due to turbo boost. One thing I did notice is that the temperature response of the CPU when it gets switched to full load, does vary according to the quality of the heatsink paste. With the original Apple paste, when I switched the CPU to full load (from idle) the temperature of the CPU went up to its maximum almost instantaneously and stayed at that level ie the graph of temperature vs time was a step function. This suggests that the CPU may be controlling the temperature by throttling itself. Otherwise, as the heatsink warmed up, the CPU should also rise in temperature - mine stayed bang on 90C and fluctuated only by a degree either side. After application of heat sink paste, the CPU has a much larger effective thermal mass and consequently heats up much more slowly. Turning the CPU up to maximum from idle resulted in the temperature climbing to a maximum over about 3-4s. After peaking at around 92C it dropped back as the fans kicked in, to around 86C.
So perhaps one way of assessing the quality of your heatsink paste is to ramp the CPU to maximum from idle and look at the shape of the temperature profile. A step function suggests a lousy job and benefit may be had from reapplication. A more gently sloping profile, followed by a dip due to the fans kicking in, may suggest you are in good shape. Obviously, this presupposes that your Mac temperatures are not insanely hot to start with (i.e. high 90sC+). In which case, if defluffing doesn't do the job, then new heatsink paste is almost certainly required.
Regards, BB

I'm sorry but this is too funny to pass up.
