In my area StraightTalk uses both ATT and Verizon cell towers.

How do I know which model iPhone to choose to get Verizon's towers? I would like to purchase an iPhone 5 used. I live about 120 miles direcly SE of Wash DC that gets poor coverage from BOTH.  
I already have an iPhone 4 on ATT using an antenna on the roof with a booster in the house.  Visitors using Verizon seem to get about a 10% better signal, but that 10% means a lot.  Thanks.
Jim/Maryland

Steve... if you had truly marginal service from ATT ..and know people who had less-marginal service from Verizon, then you'd want to switch for a bird-in-the-hand - today.  I would expect in three years, a whiole 'nother service may be available...
I keep a wonderfuly cheap Net10, flip phone in my truck..as a handy 'pay phone'. I have 8,500 minutes accumulated.  (a new iP5 and the current iP4 is used by my wife)
... I must add, that I so much hate Verizon because of their crappy service as the former monolopy carrier to both my home and business that I cut the hardwire at both places and would refuse to enter a direct contract with them ever again. 
I have Dish Network for Sat. connections for my Macs at home.. an ATT data plan for an iPad ..and Comcast phone and internet at my business.   ..but, Verizon's cell tower seems a little closer (or stronger signal) to my home.

...You guys are replying faster than I can think!  I will print this out tomorrow and 'study'.  Cheers!

  • Can I use both Wifi and a Lan connection at the same time?

    With me back in the dorms I have been limited to a slower connection than what I would like. Now we are able to use both Wifi and a Lan line so I was wondering to somewhat "double" my speed if there was any way to use both connections at the same time.
    Now I know that you can have both plugged in at the same time, I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way that I could set programs to use one or the other? Or some kind of virtual desktop that is set to use the other connection or anything that would allow both be used at the same time.
    Or am I just wishing for something that doesn't have any possible way to work?

    You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
    Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
    Sorry.

  • Can we use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in JDBC Receiver

    Hi All,
    I would like to know is it possible to use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in one interface because I have a requirement in which I have to perform both the task.
    user send the file which contains both new and old record and I need to save those in MS SQL database.
    If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT.
    I looked on sdn but didn't find any blog which perform both the things at the same time.
    Interface Requirement
    FILE -
    > PI -
    > JDBC(INSERT & UPDATE)
    I am thinking to use JDBC Lookup but not sure if it good to use for bulk record.
    Can somebody please suggest me something or send me the link of any blog or anything to solve this problem.
    Thanks,

    Hi ,
              If I have understood properly the scenario properly,you are not performing insert and update together. As you posted
    "If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT."
    Thus you are performing either an insert or an update which depends on outcome of a search if the records already exist in database or not. Obviously to search the tables you need " select * from ...  where ...." query. If your query returns some results you proceed with update since this means there are some old records already in database. If your query returns no rows  you proceed with "insert into tablename....." since there are no old records present in database.
      Now perhaps the best method to do the searching, taking a decision to insert or update, and finally insert or update operation is to be done by a stored procedure in MS SQL database.  A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. Here the application is PI server.   If you need further help on how to write and call stored procedure in MS SQL you can look into these links
    http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/databases/ms-sql/threads/146829
    http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-parameters-inserts-and-updates
    [ This part you can ignore, Since its not sure that you will face this situation
        Still you might face some problems while your scenario runs. Lets consider this scenario, after the stored procedure searches the database it found no rows. Thus you proceed with an insert operation. If your database table is being accessed by multiple applications (or users) other than yours then it is very well possible that after the search operation completed with a null result, an insert/update operation has been performed by some other application with the same primary key. Now when you are trying to insert another row with same primary key you get an error message like "duplicate entry not possible for same primary key value". Thus you need to be careful in this respect. MS SQL has a feature called "exclusive locks ". Look into these links for more details on the subject

        There must be other methods to avoid this problem. But the point is you need to be sure that all access to database for insert/update operations are isolated.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • HP Laserjet Pro 400 Printer unable to print docs using both letter and legal paper

    HELP!!  Have been using an HP Laserjet Pro 400 M425dn dual tray printer for 2 years, along with a Dell laptop.  Always had ability to send documents to print using both letter and legal size paper.  Under print set-up on laptop, the option checked was always set to "Choose Paper Source by PDF Paper Size".  Now I've just purchased an HP Envy All-in-One Desktop, which does not offer that option under Print Set-Up.  While it allows for 'Auto Selection' of paper size, you are required to choose either letter or legal size paper.  I've called tech support 3 times, the latest call earlier this am, only to be disconnected.  Yesterday I was told that I should go on hp/support and update drivers.  My husband downloaded drivers, but still no fix.  Unless this issue is resolved asap, I will have no option but to return this Envy Desktop, as I cannot run my business without this option.
    Anyone have a similar problem?  How was it resolved?

    The available options will (probably) be determined by the printer driver in use.
    This , in turn, will be determined partly by which Operating System and version you are using.
    Once a printer model has been out in the field for some time (generally when the next generation (or two?) of devices has been announced to supersede it) that model becomes a 'legacy' device, and 'full-specification' printer drivers may no longer be supplied by the printer manufacturer, but basic (i.e. without too many options) drivers will (probably) instead be supplied with the operating system.

  • Linking Access tables, creating a query with using both Access and Oracle

    Hello,
    I am using 3.0.04.34 version Oracle Developer. I am supposed to create a script/procedure to use both Access tables and oracle tables together. There is an option in developer to copy the access tables into oracle. But it doesn't help me. Because when we updated the access tables
    the copied ones are not be updated. How can I created a linked access tables to oracle and create a query with using both access and oracle table together.
    I will appreciate if you guys help me. I look forward to hearing from you guys.
    Thanks,
    Pinar

    Pinar,
    to be able to query MS Access tables in Oracle you need an additional product, the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC. It allows you to link any foreign database into an Oracle database using a suitable ODBC driver. You can then access the MS Access tables through a database link based on the Database Gateway for ODBC. This will also allow you to join local Oracle and remote MS Access tables from your Oracle database.
    There's a note on My Oracle Support which gives you more details:Document 233876.1 Options for Connecting to Foreign Data Stores and Non-Oracle Databases - For example - DB2, SQL*Server, Sybase, Informix, Teradata, MySQL
    And there's also a dedicated Forum: Heterogeneous Connectivity

  • Does anyone use both iPhoto and Aperture

    I just got an mac book pro and I am trying to decide what to do with my iPhoto library that is on my old G4 eMac. I'm wondering if the best (and safest) plan would be to transfer that library to the new machine, bring it into iPhoto and then import the entire library into Aperture.
    On second thought I wondered if it would be a good idea to leave everything in iPhoto and just open images in Aperture only when I want the extra editing tools... using Aperture for keeping all the "prime" photos and iPhoto for snap shots and iPhone pictures.
    And... is it even possible to import the library from another machine directly into Aperture?
    Thanks in advance,
    bd

    Pick one and stick with it. They don't actually integrate very much.
    Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.
    The only communication between the two is as follows:
    Aperture is able to parse the iPhoto Library to allow it to import the contents while stacking the Originals and Modified versions, preserving metadata and so forth.
    Aperture can share its Previews with the iLife apps, including iPhoto.
    That's it.
    So, specifically, what interaction there is between the two is designed to facilitate migration from iPhoto to the more powerful app. After that, iPhoto has exactly the same relationship to the Aperture Library as, say, Pages or iMovie.
    iPhoto has no knowledge of, and knows nothing of how the Aperture Library works. It cannot read the Aperture library.
    So if you decide to try this:
    using Aperture for keeping all the "prime" photos and iPhoto for snap shots and iPhone pictures.
    You'll end up using two apps to manage two different sets of photos, with twice the complications. Aperture is not an "external editor" and can't be used as such.
    Think: Writing your novel in Word and TextEdit at the same time. "I'll write this chapter in Word, this paragraph in TE and then back to word..."
    What of you wanted to sync your Photos back to your Phone? Which library will you use? You can't use both.
    And... is it even possible to import the library from another machine directly into Aperture?
    The routine would be to move the Library to the new machine and them process it into Aperture. Then trash the unwanted iPhoto Library.

  • Using both iPhoto and Aperture workflow help

    I am using both aperture 3 and iPhoto 9 to edit and keep track of images
    I imported images to iPhoto the have Aperture import the iPhoto library this way I have i library..I know if something happens to it I am screwed
    1) I know that Aperture is non destructive, is iPhoto?
    2) will changes ( like GPS location) in aperture be applied to iPhoto images
    3) looking to see if I can make changes made in one program appear in the other
    4) or it it better to import the images in from my external drive (how they were before iPhoto), and have a separate library for each program

    Here's the best advice for using both iPhoto and Aperture:
    Pick one horse and ride it. They both do the same job. If you're shooting Raw or high volumes of Jpeg, then definitely go with Aperture. If you're doing family snaps with a point and shoot stick with iPhoto. Using both adds unnecessary complexity to everything, and with complexity comes the risk of error and data loss.
    1) I know that Aperture is non destructive, is iPhoto?
    Yes. In a wholly different way, mind you, but yes. WHen you edit an image in iPhoto it creates a new file called the Modified Version. You can always revert to the Original photo. If you edit only with iPhoto then you can also avoid generational loss.
    2) will changes ( like GPS location) in aperture be applied to iPhoto images
    No.
    3) looking to see if I can make changes made in one program appear in the other
    You can't.
    4) or it it better to import the images in from my external drive (how they were before iPhoto), and have a separate library for each program
    It makes no sense to use both programs.
    Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.

    What are you hoping to achieve by running both?

  • Am I able to use both Carbonite and Time Machine as back-ups for my iMac?

    HI,
    I have a iMac, and I have recently recently completed the initial back up for Carbonite. I also have a 2TB Seagate external hard drive that I would like to use with Time Machine. I am wondering if I am able to use both Carbonite and Time Machine simultaneously.

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    As bdmarsha says, yes, you can run both simultaneously.
    But one caution; there are some reports here that some of the online backup apps keep some fairly large, frequently-changing files on your system. Time Machine will back them up along with everything else, which can take some extra time and space on your TM drive.
    After your initial TM backup, see how large the incremental backups are (by watching the progress bar and info on the +Time Machine Preferences+ window). If those seem too large for the changes you've made since the previous backup, see #A2 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for a couple of apps that will show exactly what was backed-up.
    If you find such things, you can exclude them from TM backups, per #10 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • Data source for application using both pooled and non pooled connections

    Hi guys.
    I am integrating Oracle's connection pooling into an existing application that had formerly used dbConnectionBroker. It looks like this task should be quite straightforward. However, for consistency, I would also like to replace other Connection logic within the application to use Oracle classes. This will involve using OracleDataSource to obtain a Connection object. ( without pooling ).
    So in this case, the application will use both pooled and non pooled Oracle connections. They will be connecting to the same database. The question I have is in regard to the use of data-sources.xml.
    Are there any special considerations for the required attribute values within data-sources.xml under this scenario ?
    Help will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards.
    Steve.

    Hi Steve -
    It should be feasible for you to define a single datasource using multiple location entries to indicate what sort of pooling behaviour you wish to use.
    If you lookup and use the "location" attribute, you will receive a javax.sql.DataSource object which will not provide connection pooling.
    If you lookup and use the "ejb-location" attribute you will receive a DataSource object that will support connection pooling operations.
    Note that this is using the emulated datasource approach, and transaction support is limited to a single resource (one database) for these datasources - you won't get 2PC support for transactions.
    If you need a transaction to span two separate resources (ie two databases in same tx) then you will need to use the non-emulated datasource approach.
    There is a chapter in the J2EE Services Guide which describes the datasource model we have with OC4J. This might provide you with some more useful information. See Chapter 11 - http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/903doc_otn/generic.903/a97690/ds3.htm#1004903

  • Should I use both GetList and  GetDetail for creating a Data Object?

    Hello, all.
    At first, Thanks for your interesting.
    1. I wounder that  I can make a BAPI Wrapper as Data Object using only GetList.
    When I make a BAPI Wrapper as Data Object using only GetList, SAP shows me a message.
    The message says Data Object can have one root node only (hierarchy = 1 ).
    It means I should use both GetList and  GetDetail.
    I understand that.
    If i need to use only GetList, is there any way?
    Thanks for your interesting again.

    Hi
    I think you are trying to import BAPI wrapper as data object and you are using only "Getlist" BAPI.
    In such case, the data object created will have only root node. i.e Hierarchy =1.
    This is becuse the GetList BAPI has only the info about root node.(i.e, table parameter).
    If you have multiple tables in BE and you want to create a DO with multiple node(hierarchy >1) using BAPI wrapper import, then you have to use "GetDetail" BAPI along with GetList.

  • Cannot query using both conforming and cached query result

    TopLink doesn't allow me to both use conforming and cached query result at the same time.
    Conforming is certainly not a superset of the [cached query result] features.
    Can you confirm that it's a limitation of TopLink?
    Any know workaround to end-up with the same features as using both conforming and cached query result?
    Conforming is about seeing modifications you do in the same transaction. As a bonus, if you query for one object and specify at least the id as criteria because TopLink will have to check in memory anyway it can avoid going to the database.
    But if I do a query like "give me employees hired before now and after 30 days ago" it's about more than one objects and about finding existance so cached query result is needed to get acceptable performance in a complex application trying to avoid the same SQL generated over and over again.

    Thats where the trace just ends? It doesnt look like there's any LIKE or filtering going on (with respect to the Oracle pieces anyway), apparently MSAccess simply requested the whole table.
    What do you mean by 'hang' exactly? Are you sure it's just not taking a long time to complete? How long have you waited? How fast does it complete on the other environment?
    ODBC tracing isnt likely to help much for that. SQLNet tracing would be better to see what is going on at a lower level. Specifically, what is going on at the network level? Is the client waiting for a packet to be returned from the database?
    Is the database having a hard time processing the query, perhaps due to index/tuning issues?
    Assuming that is indeed the query that is "hung", how much data does that return?
    Are you able to reproduce the same behavior with that query and vbscript for example?

  • My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.

    My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.  This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

    Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
    If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV.

  • Can you print using both USB and Wireless on HP M175nw?

    I am having a problem with my new LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw. When I initially set it up with Setup wizard, I selected the "USB" option, since that was how my old printer was hooked up to the computer. That worked fine and the printer works perfectly with my desktop. Now I can't figure out how to also set up the printer to be used wirelessly. I specifically bought this printer because I wanted to be able to Airprint from an ipad. I've tried several of the fixes listed on this website, but I'm not able to get a list of wireless networks to appear on the printer's menu. I am using a Linksys wireless G router, which is hardwired to my desktop, but which I use to wirelessly access the internet with my laptop and ipad.
    What is the best way to be able to use the printer with my both my desktop (non-wireless), laptop, and ipad (both wireless)? Can I leave the printer hardwired to my desktop with a USB AND connect the other devices wirelessly? If so, what is the best way for me to connect the printer to my router - wirelessly or wired? What steps do I need to take to do that and get the printer connected?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    Before Christmas 2011, I ran few tests and I've posted elsewhere on this forum. My printer is a different model but I believe same technology. My tests indicated we can connect printer using BOTH wireless and USB. Printer will show busy/not available during direct print (ie USB) but it knows job(s) is/are on the queue and print after that.
    One thing I could not test successfully: scan and print at the same time.
