How to use the +, * or # sign in iPhone contact records

I see only one reference to that button in the printed and on-line documentation, the button when you're creating a phone number in a Contact record, the button displaying those special symbols + * #. The only reference I've found is to press that button and then select "Pause" to enter a pause (displayed as comma) in the number. But you can also enter a "+" or "*" or "#" ... leading me to think they must be the equivalent of "Wait" etc. But it's not documented: can anyone tell me what those do?
Thanks

So, are you saying that those other symbols are ones I would only use if that outside service (office voice mail, some other service) required those symbols; that they don't actually give the iPhone itself an instruction (such as the "+" and "pause" do)?
[The reason I'm asking is that I just switched over to the iPhone, previously having Verizon service, and with that service there were ways to enter the equivalent of Pause (where the phone would wait a few seconds per pause before sending the next number) or Wait, which would cause the phone to wait until I pressed "send" again, at which point it would send the next digits (useful for PINs and Passwords) ... ]
But those were instructions in the Verizon phone to the Verizon phone ... I'm just looking for some official documentation on whether these symbols in the Contact record telephone numbers serve similar purposes, and, if so, which ...
The + is clear now. I'm still hazy on the # and * ... and wondering if they're addressed anywhere in iPhone documentation. I couldn't find them.

How to use the single sign-on cookie

I have a web dynpro application that's triggered by a button press in the gui. It was set up to use the 'WDY_EXECUTE_IN_PLACE' function module. However, I recently attended a Web Dynpro course and was told that's not the correct way to do it - I should be just calling the url and passing any parameters in the url string. I set about changing this today and I'm now using cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute to execute the url but now I'm being asked to log on to access the application - previously I didn't have to do this.
I'm told this is something to do with the single sign-on cookie MYSAPSS02. According to our basis team this is already set but it looks like I need to do something extra - like retrieve it and/or send it to the application somehow. I've had a search around the forum but haven't come up with the answer yet. Can someone point me in the right direction please ?
thanks,
Malcolm.

If you use cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute you won't get single sign on. Instead use CL_GUI_HTML_VIEWER. This class has the special logic to generate the SSO ticket (method ENABLE_SSO). You can place the control in a dummy container object (not actually on the screen) and then use the DETACH_URL_IN_BROWSER method to launch the browser separately from the SAPGUI.

How to use the plus sign (+) in URLs

I have a procedure that takes a name as a in parameter. When the value of the name got a plus sign in it, the browser can't find the page/procedure. It works for every name without the plus sign.
Ie. the following is an exsample of an URL with plus sign in the value of a parameter:

How to Control the Sorting Order of iPhone Contacts from Outlook?

In a series of editing steps we've loaded ca. 1,900 personal and business contacts from Outlook into a 1st gen iPhone with 2.0.1 software on it. To our surprise we found that while most of the entries were listed and sorted by company, certain entries were listed and sorted by the person's name. It looked random and there didn't seem to be any way to control it on the iPhone.
While troubleshooting the problem we synced up the iPhone with an empty Address Book on a MacBook Pro and found that the sort order flag was indeed set differently on these entries. When we changed the sorting flag of a contact in the Mac's Address Book to "Company" it also changed on the iPhone after the next sync.
Problem: In our business environment it is impossible to switch to Macs for contact administration. We need to do it from Outlook. This is one of several features needed for the adoption of iPhones.
Question: Is there a way to control this flag on the individual iPhone contact entries from Outlook Contacts?

Well, I think we figured it out.
Outlook doesn't offer a sorting flag on person or company name. Instead it uses a separate "File As" string. The problem with our contacts was that this "File As" string was frequently edited to be something else than exactly the personal or company name, e.g. it was set to an abbreviated company name. Once we set the "File As" to any of the defaults offered, i.e. person or company name, the sorting flag in iPhone was properly set through the synchronization.
Obviously, the application logic compares the content of these fields in Outlook and decides how to set the flag. If it can't find the company name in "File As" it defaults to person.
This was an expensive holdup for us. It cost us 2 man days to figure it out. Is there any place where such application logic is described?

How to delete the group "On My iPhone" Contacts Group

My wide and I use the same computer. iTunes is set up to Synch my iPhone to Outlook. My wife's iPhone was connected to iTunes and uploaded all Outlook Contacts to her iPhone in the "On My iPhone Contacts". How can I delete all contacts in this Group "On My iPhone"?

Hi sandeepvaja,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have a lot of other data on the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Orphaned files might remain on your iOS device if it's physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, you might see a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device in the Capacity indicator in iTunes. Try these steps:
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Hi kamfong,
Went to Settings where?
If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
1. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
2. Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
Cheers,

HT1688 I am trying to find answers about how to use the earphones that came with my new iPhone 4s. Does this work similarly as a Bluetooth or do I need to still buy one. The printing in the manual is SOOO small, it is too hard to read!

Does anyone know how to use the earphones( plugs) that come with iPhones?
Mine is still fairly new and I am just learning how to use certain things.

They're pretty straightforward. You plug them into the headset jack (the hole on the top left of your phone). You put the buds in your ears. All sounds, except for the phone ringing will now come through the earbuds.

Hello all,
when i update apps on my iphone they need the ID that i used when i downloaded these apps and i forgot this ID and a make a new ID
How i used the new one to update these apps?
thanks

Your device can hold apps from multiple IDs, but to update them you have to swicth identities which is time consuming. If possible use only the one ID. If you need to reset the password for your old ID visit My Apple ID.
