How good is the N97 for you to replace your multip...

Hi, a quick question for anyone who has an N97 and using it for more than communication.
I have had a Nokia of all types (6310i, N71, 6680 etc) for almost 10 years and two weeks ago, I decided to upgrade to the N97 (cost: Euro269 with Vodafone Ireland,12 month contract).
The main reason I got my N97 was to cut down on the tech clutter (Plugs, data cables and memory devices) I had for misc. media playback. I had an PSP (video playback, via 16GB MSProDuo), Ipod (music for walking & in-car audio via Belkin FM transmitter) and an N95 8GB (phone calls). Yes, I could have gotten the Iphone but the change over to O2 and the min. euro45/month fee on an 18 month contract was not worth the hassle involved.
What I wanted was, ideally, one device for all three needs: audio, video and communications.
Two weeks after getting the N97, I'm happy that it has solved two of the three requirements: Video playback & communications) but audio playback is still clunky to use & difficult to edit.
-The video: as I mentioned in another posting, porting over an .avi video file is still clumsy (I'm using Windows 7, maybe compatibility issues?). I've been using with 100% transfer/playback success -handbrake (single file) and AVS (Multiple files) to convert to .MPEG4 and file manager to drop the Mpeg4 file into "Video" folder. It's multiple steps instead of the seamless process promised by PC SUITE/OVI but, hey, it works for me!
-Audio: a huge pain to create a simple playlist for walking. I know the 2.0 firmware promised in late Oct. looks great (from the video preview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_iajkv2YE8) but trying to simply find a song is tedious in a what should have been an intuitive touch screen interface. Using the selection menu is like using Win 3.11 after using Win 7 -slow, clumsy & not designed for a smart phone. Also, the "find album art" in Nokia Music is slow & inaccurate. I do like the FM Transmitter feature and the little I have used so far in car, has been seamless to setup and a snap to use.
-Communication: This is the first touch screen phone I have had and while it has taken time to make the mental shift from hitting physical keys, I'm happy with the handset's performance. Being blunt, I really hope the firmware upgrade addresses the N97's buggy OS. I have had to hard reset twice (change all, and I mean all "Save To" setting -messages, email, cache etc, to "Mass Memory" not "Phone memory" as this seems to have stopped cold the "memory full" warnings I was getting). Also, I'm finding the camera much better with the N97 Vs the N95 8GB and the free app. PhotoBrowser (http://betalabs.nokia.com/betas/view/nokia-photo-browser) is simply amazing to use as an indexing tool. If you want to impress family with the phones functions, take a photo of them and open up PhotoBrowser for the wow! impact.
Sorry if this is long winded but while I have read a lot of postings on the site for specific issues, just wondering how anyone in general is finding using the handset/computer for day to day media use? Personally while the battery life demands I have a charger with me always, I really like having a single device that does two of the three functions I was looking for in a single unit.

How Long Did It Take For Apple 2 Replace Your Broken Nano's?

The screen cracked on my nano, so they sent me a box, and I sent it back to them. I got an e-mail that said they recieved it about 4 days ago, and Im wondering how long it will be before they send me my new one. By the way, mine was personalized. You think it will be like a week before they even ship it out back to me? I looked at the status page and there was no information on it also.

I am in GA and it took approx 10 days from the time I received the box to return the nano for service to the time I got a new one back

How to restrict the GR for Production Order when Goods Issue is not done

Hi Gurus
How to restrict the GR for Production Order when all the required components for production order are not issued with all required quantity. Even for partial issue system should not allow GR with 101. The user status with RMWA, RMWF & CGFB is not working.
Pls suggest best solution.
Abhijit.

Hi,
You can club together the GI nad GR at the time of confirmation..
I.e Backflush for the components and auto GR for the Product.
So that you can stream line the Process.
The best Option would be to use the User Exit:
Enhancement - MBCF0002
Functional Module - EXIT_SAPMM07M_001
Include - ZXMBCU02

Are we Beta testing the N97 for Nokia?

Because if i was given this as a beta release i would have told them what i thought, the current launch version on the N97 with V10 firmware is barely an Alpha release, this phone was a rush job thrown out on the market to coincide with the launch of the iphone 3Gs.
This is my fourth N series, N80, N95, N95 8gb (the best N series yet), and now this N97 what should be Nokia's flagship, but being stripped of apps and filled with Trial versions to please the accountants at Nokia.
Day one and it locked up twice, corrupted my contacts when synced with OVI, and ran down to less than 4mb on the C drive, day 2 i found the GPS was not working, it was a joke, walking down the road under a clear sky and it could not hold a signal lock, driving was worse barely holding a signal for a few seconds and as for sitting spinning it round for an age to get the compass to work........forget it id rather be lost than look like a **bleep**.
Deleting apps and reinstalling them on the mass memory frees up some space, but why should we have to do this, the whole phone is badly thought out and configured.
Soon after the stylus supplied with the phone and attached to the phones only tie point scratched my screen, what was wrong with a rear cover with a bump and a thin PDA style stylus, no not good enough for Nokia, a fat thing on a string will do for them.
New Firmware release 4 days after UK launch and still not available to most users as it has not been network approved yet, 3 network say its Nokia's job and they are delaying things, Nokia say its the networks delay. Come on if it was needed that quickly why leave most of your customers waiting, or just get to work on a layered OS with a standardised core with a network layer, so everyone can have the updated without waiting.
4 weeks in on this phone, i too have the scratched camera lens, still No working GPS, and having some good negotiations with Three to try to reverse the contact upgrade, as i don't think another N97 will last any longer than this one.
I see Nokia spending Millions on punting the N97, TV, Billboards, Net adds, why push so hard on what is a sub standard product, could you imagine Joe public trying to free off some memory by moving apps, tell the care centres to brace themselves the N97 flood will be coming their way.
What next, well if 3 don't cancel the upgrade, then Nokia will have to fix my phone again and again and again untill it works as advertised, in the mean time i am off to get in touch with watchdog so they can let Joe Public know what to expect from an N97.

Solved!

I don't believe we're beta testing the N97 for Nokia. Beta testing suggests it is in a state prior to production. Nokia's track record (at least to me) seems that leading edge phones never reach a stable plateau.
What I believe happens is the phone is released and remains unstable until they sort of perfect the platform, then a new handset is released bringing a whole new world of bugs and problems and so the cycle continues.
By the time the phone is suitable for every day use it is, by today's technological stance, ancient and the damage has already been done to the reputation.
S40 phones seem to fare much better, mainly because it is much more widely used within Nokia. S60 is up against some fine competition from vendors who will rush fixes out.. Nokia only ever seems to rush phones out. It isn't the same and it shows (see their forcast for the next 6 months)
I honestly would not be surprised if this flagship phone limps on in a partially functional state until it is superceeded by a budget blackberry clone.
Sad? Very! Am I being cynical, or telling it like it is.
I'd be real interested to know if any exec at Nokia used the N97 in the weeks before it was released.. Not that I'm a fan, but we all know Stevie J used an iphone long before it was released.. I kind of get the impression they must all use very basic "corporate" s40 handsets and assume their flagship product must be of the same calibre.
Next release, why not give 100 people N97 for testing, real testing. It seems Nokias quality assurance team is out of touch with what a $700 handset demands.. ooooh, I gasp in awe at your 30 MB of free capactity when you remove ALL the applications you can. (It's like having a 2TB hard drive in a computer and continuing to boot from a floppy)
I appreciate there are product time lines to meet, but if Nokia were aiming to compete with the likes of the pre, iphone and the various android handsets (not even mentioning windows mobile) rushing out a phone like this was very wide of the mark. Concept wise, the N97 is a great design.. the implementation of both the hardware and software just isn't going to cut it in todays market..
(but this is what they want? you'll get bored with the handset and buy a replacement! yeay!)

How good is the audio jack?

In the past I've connected my iPod to my stereo using a mini to RCA adapter. It gave me a weak signal (even with the volume turned all the way up). How good is the Mac Mini's audio when plugging into a stereo? Thanks.

Optical out to a DAC supports 24-bit (and even 32-bit on the new mini, whatever that is for, I guess DSP). It shares the analogue headphone jack out, but when you put a mini Toslink in it, you get the light out.
You can also use USB out or use a USB/coax converter (which I am messing around with). Others have told me that the USB/coax converter is better because it externally clocks the signal, but I cannot hear any difference between that and the optical out. Optical goes up to 96kHz sampling frequency. To get higher, you need the USB/coax adapter.
The NOVA that I have, linked to above, supports 16-bit output from USB and 24-bit output from optical toslink and coax. I think the USB limitation might be imposed by the software in the DAC, however, not at the mac end.

How good is the 3G arial on the iPad?

How good is the 3G arial on the iPad? For example is it better than the iPhone 4 one?

I'm using the IGP on 2 networked pc's and to be honest have had no problems with it. Runs all my games at ease inc the network games, (some are very power hungry too). Ok not as fast as the latest all singing cards but costs you nothing. You can always stick another card in if you get problems. One thing though, gotta make sure you make use of the Dual channel memory, this really speeds things up with the IGP in use.

How good is the Stock Cooler

Hi ppl.
As u prob know I am building a PC for my friend. It will be a AMD 64 3200
My question is if I bought the retails then how good is the cooler? Also will it come with a Thermal Pad
If I bought the retail could I scrap off the Pad and used Thermal Paste Supplied with my Zalman 7000Al/Cu as this isnt silver based. Would this boid the warrenty.
Or I would buy the OEM version and get a Thermaltake Silent Boost along with Artic Silver 3.
Wot would u guys do because u get a warrenty with the one and not with the other. I think the Silent Boost would be a much better option for cooling.
My friend will be doin now otherclocking but wants a stable cool running system without being very loud (so no TORNADOS lol)
Cheers

what does cool n quiet do exactly?
i enabled it in my BIOS and i dont notice any difference,
i have a SLK948U with a Panaflo L 80mm
You need to have your fan plugged into the motherboard CPU fan header for it to reduce fan speed, I guess you don't with that fan as it draws too much current.
Oh and even if you are going to Overclock you will find the stock cooler is actually fine for mild overclocks of a couple of hundred mhz, I tried it with my Clawhammer and got it to 2200 mhz with 41 deg idle and 48 deg under load, temps that are fine in my opinion.

How to write the logic for extending Idocs...

Hi,
      Can anybody pls explain how to write the logic for extending IDOCs with an example...
      Good suggestions can be appreciated..
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
Generally the IDoc user exit is called at the following places:
1) When the control record is read.
2) After each and every segment in the data record
3) At the end of the data segment processing.
The IDoc user exit interface generally imports IDOC_DATA (data record internal table) table. Now the data records in the internal table should appear in the same order as maintained while defining IDoc structure (WE30 transaction). For SAP standard segment SAP code will take care of this. For extended segment you will have to take care of this aspect by appending the Z-segment in the IDOC_DATA table.
You can do this by:
         looping at IDOC_DATA table:
             - Do a case-endcase fo IDOC_DATA-SEGNAM (This stores the segment
               structure as per the hierarchy).
             - Within the case for "Z-segment" you can write the logic for appending
               the Z-segment to IDOC_DATA-SDATA.
Hope this gives some clue.

Gajendra.

How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?

How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?
I have just purchased a 2012 dual band Airport Express which has the combined optical/3.5mm analogue jack audio output.
This is to connect to my hifi seperate amplifier, which does not have an optical input.
This gives me a couple of options
a) just use a standard 3.5mm jack to phono cable (and use the built in DAC in the airpor express)
or
b) purchase a seperate DAC to convert the optical from the Express into phono and connect that to the amplifier
I will be sending 250-320kbps music to the airport express wirelessly.
Will I see much/any benefit in sound quality with option B vs option A?
I ask because option A is free (I already have the cable) and option B will be around £20-£30 depending on which DAC I were to buy (I would also need a new TOSlink optical cable).
These are the sort of DACs I was looking at.
Thanks, Chipstix

How good is the Airport Express inbuilt Digital to Analogue converter?
Please check out this stereophile article on the earlier AirPort Express. I understand that the newest version may use basically similar audio hardware.
I will be sending 250-320kbps music to the airport express wirelessly.
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. (An exception is you can use a third-party product like Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil to stream other non-iTunes sources.) These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIF or WAV files at the high end. It is also important to note that the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirPlay to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. As you already know for analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port.
One operational glitch is the fact that, as the AX doesn't have a local clock circuit, when the incoming data is interrupted, as it is when you change songs in iTunes, there is no longer a digital output to feed the DAC, which loses lock as a result. Using an external DAC, which may offer better audio performance, may have issues with this glitch. Some DACs are more sensitive than others.

How much is the ETF for a smartphone?

We have one smartphone (iphone) with verizon service and want to end service. Our contract is up in September. How much is the ETF for only having 3 months left?

Here's the Info your Requesting.. More can be found through the Link I provided.. b33
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/support/customer-agreement
If you cancel a line of Service, or if we cancel it for good cause, during its contract term, you'll have to pay an early termination fee. If your contract term results from your purchase of an advanced device, your early termination fee will be $350 minus $10 for each full month of your contract term that you complete. Otherwise, your early termination fee will be $175 minus $5 for each full month of your contract term that you complete. Cancellations will become effective on the last day of that month's billing cycle, and you are responsible for all charges incurred until then. Also, if you bought your wireless device from an authorized agent or third–party vendor, you should check whether they charge a separate termination fee.

In VB Programming code -- How to access the formula for suppressing a field

In VB Programming code -- How to access the formula for suppressing a field
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 v1
Using VB code, I am attempting to modify a Crystal Report before exporting it into a PDF format and then displaying it on the Web.
My problem is that I am unable to access the formula used to dynamically suppress a field.
The following code is working:
mySections = rd.ReportDefinition.Sections
For Each mySection As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section In mySections
   ' myFieldToChange is a String set to the text of the field I need to adjust the Suppression
   iloop = 0
   For Each RecObj As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject In mySection.ReportObjects
           If mySection.ReportObjects.Item(iloop).Name.ToLower = myFieldToChange Then
               myTextObject = CType(mySection.ReportObjects.Item(iloop), CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject)
               myTextObject.Text = "new field text goes here"
               mySection.SectionFormat.EnableSuppress = True
               ' Here is where I want to change the formula for the Suppression
            End if
            iloop = iloop + 1
    Next
Next
I can not find any reference to the actual suppression formula in the SDK help file.
Note, the EnableSuppress can be set to True for False, but if there is a formula for dynamic suppression, the True or False value is overwritten. The results of the formula determine the suppression.
Is there a way to reference this formula. I know that I can put on in using the Crystal Report Designer software, I need to modify this formula using VB code and the SDK.

Hello, Mark;
If you are using the ReportDocument object you do not have access to the Conditional Suppression formula. You can get around it by using a formula field in the report for the supression and then using the FormulaField code to change it at runtime.
If you want to change the supression condition directly at runtime you need to use RAS and the ReportClientDocument.

}Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

I have read through some of the tutorials that you have directed me too and they are very useful, thank you. however there are still a few things that i am not clear about. I am using net beans 5.0 I have placed a text file named Results.txt into the project at the root so the program can view it.
When I use the code that you provided me with, does it matter where the file is, or will it look through everywhere on the hard drive to find a match?
This code compiles but at run time it comes up with this error
run-single:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: NamedFile

Java Result: 1

    Scanner user = new Scanner( System.in );
    String fileName;
    System.out.print("File Name: ");
    fileName = user.nextLine().trim();
    File file = new File( fileName );     // create a File object
    // this Scanner is used to read from the file
    Scanner scan = new Scanner( file );
    while( scan.hasNextInt() )   // is there more data to process?
      num = scan.nextInt();
      square = num * num ;
      System.out.println("The square of " + num + " is " + square);
}his is the code that i used. It is the same as the code you posted for me (on chapter 23 I/O using Scanner and PrintStream) Sorry im just really stuck on this!!
