International usage and IM

When traveling internationally, can you use Apple IM communications between other iPhones and avoid text charges?

I would suggest placing the phone in airplane mode to turn off the cellular radios. Then you can turn wifi back on separately and use iMessages when you are connected to a wifi hotspot.

No data in Usage and Standby?

Hi,
I have recently exchanged my white 16GB iphone at the local retail store, but have just noticed that since I exchanged it there does not seem to be any Usage figures in the general settings.
By that I mean the "usage" and "standby" are blank, above the message "usage times will be shown after iphone is fully charged".
To try and correct it, I reset the phone yesterday and it was on charge from 10pm last night to 7am this morning so I would have thought would be fully charged. (the battery meter appears to be fully charged)
Is anyone else experiencing this problem or has any advice on how to correct it?
Thanks for your help.

When adding/creating an email account, the following presets are available.
Exchange
MobileMe
Gmail
Yahoo Mail
AOL
If you selected the Yahoo Mail account preset when adding/creating the account, the account was created as an IMAP account with Push access available for received messages along with an option to enable or disable Push access for the account.
The data required to connect with the incoming mail server for an email account to check the incoming mail server for new messages is minute. More battery will be used the more often an account is checked for new messages, but this alone is not a significant battery drain and especially with a single email account. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are not synchronized with the server when the account is checked for new messages. For example, the account's server stored Sent mailbox is not synchronized with the server until the account's Sent mailbox is selected.
Push is not a constant fetch process. With an account that supports Push access for received messages, a new message received at the incoming mail server is "pushed" to the iPhone without the account having to be checked for new messages. In theory, Push access should use less battery compared to automatically checking the account for new messages, which isn't always the case and this also depends on the time interval set for automatically checking for new messages. You can have the account automatically checked for new messages every hour.
Depending on how much data is accessed compared to the number and length of phone calls when roaming internationally, data access can be much more expensive.

Internal Table and Structures

Hi,
I am a beginer. I know how to create a structure and how to create an internal table using ABAP/4. My problem is, i don't understand where to use internal table and structure, also i find myself very confused about the explicit work areas.
Plese someone show me a program by explaining all of this clearly.

Hi
Internal tables are the core of ABAP. They are like soul of a body. For any program we use
internal tables extensively. We can use Internal tables like normal data base tables only, but the
basic difference is the memory allocated for internal tables is temporary. Once the program is
closed the memory allocated for internal tables will also be out of memory.
But while using the internal tables, there are many performance issues to be considered. i.e which
type of internal table to be used for the program..like standard internal table, hashed internal
table or sorted internal table etc..
Internal tables
Internal tables provide a means of taking data from a fixed structure and storing it in working memory in ABAP. The data is stored line by
line in memory, and each line has the same structure. In ABAP, internal tables fulfill the function of arrays. Since they are dynamic data
objects, they save the programmer the task of dynamic memory management in his or her programs. You should use internal tables
whenever you want to process a dataset with a fixed structure within a program. A particularly important use for internal tables is for
storing and formatting data from a database table within a program. They are also a good way of including very complicated data
structures in an ABAP program.
Like all elements in the ABAP type concept, internal tables can exist both as data types and as data objects A data type is the abstract
description of an internal table, either in a program or centrally in the ABAP Dictionary, that you use to create a concrete data object. The
data type is also an attribute of an existing data object.
Internal Tables as Data Types
Internal tables and structures are the two structured data types in ABAP. The data type of an internal table is fully specified by its line type,
key, and table type.
Line type
The line type of an internal table can be any data type. The data type of an internal table is normally a structure. Each component of the
structure is a column in the internal table. However, the line type may also be elementary or another internal table.
Key
The key identifies table rows. There are two kinds of key for internal tables - the standard key and a user-defined key. You can specify
whether the key should be UNIQUE or NON-UNIQUE. Internal tables with a unique key cannot contain duplicate entries. The uniqueness
depends on the table access method.
If a table has a structured line type, its default key consists of all of its non-numerical columns that are not references or themselves
internal tables. If a table has an elementary line type, the default key is the entire line. The default key of an internal table whose line type
is an internal table, the default key is empty.
The user-defined key can contain any columns of the internal table that are not references or themselves internal tables. Internal tables
with a user-defined key are called key tables. When you define the key, the sequence of the key fields is significant. You should remember
this, for example, if you intend to sort the table according to the key.
Table type
The table type determines how ABAP will access individual table entries. Internal tables can be divided into three types:
Standard tables have an internal linear index. From a particular size upwards, the indexes of internal tables are administered as trees. In
this case, the index administration overhead increases in logarithmic and not linear relation to the number of lines. The system can access
records either by using the table index or the key. The response time for key access is proportional to the number of entries in the table.
The key of a standard table is always non-unique. You cannot specify a unique key. This means that standard tables can always be filled
very quickly, since the system does not have to check whether there are already existing entries.
Sorted tables are always saved sorted by the key. They also have an internal index. The system can access records either by using the
table index or the key. The response time for key access is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries, since the system
uses a binary search. The key of a sorted table can be either unique or non-unique. When you define the table, you must specify whether
the key is to be unique or not. Standard tables and sorted tables are known generically as index tables.
Hashed tables have no linear index. You can only access a hashed table using its key. The response time is independent of the number of
table entries, and is constant, since the system access the table entries using a hash algorithm. The key of a hashed table must be unique.
When you define the table, you must specify the key as UNIQUE.
Generic Internal Tables
Unlike other local data types in programs, you do not have to specify the data type of an internal table fully. Instead, you can specify a
generic construction, that is, the key or key and line type of an internal table data type may remain unspecified. You can use generic
internal tables to specify the types of field symbols and the interface parameters of procedures . You cannot use them to declare data
objects.
Internal Tables as Dynamic Data Objects
Data objects that are defined either with the data type of an internal table, or directly as an internal table, are always fully defined in
respect of their line type, key and access method. However, the number of lines is not fixed. Thus internal tables are dynamic data objects,
since they can contain any number of lines of a particular type. The only restriction on the number of lines an internal table may contain are
the limits of your system installation. The maximum memory that can be occupied by an internal table (including its internal administration)
is 2 gigabytes. A more realistic figure is up to 500 megabytes. An additional restriction for hashed tables is that they may not contain more
than 2 million entries. The line types of internal tables can be any ABAP data types - elementary, structured, or internal tables. The
individual lines of an internal table are called table lines or table entries. Each component of a structured line is called a column in the
internal table.
Choosing a Table Type
The table type (and particularly the access method) that you will use depends on how the typical internal table operations will be most
frequently executed.
Standard tables
This is the most appropriate type if you are going to address the individual table entries using the index. Index access is the quickest
possible access. You should fill a standard table by appending lines (ABAP APPEND statement), and read, modify and delete entries by
specifying the index (INDEX option with the relevant ABAP command). The access time for a standard table increases in a linear relationship
with the number of table entries. If you need key access, standard tables are particularly useful if you can fill and process the table in
separate steps. For example, you could fill the table by appending entries, and then sort it. If you use the binary search option with key
access, the response time is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries.
Sorted tables
This is the most appropriate type if you need a table which is sorted as you fill it. You fill sorted tables using the INSERT statement. Entries
are inserted according to the sort sequence defined through the table key. Any illegal entries are recognized as soon as you try to add
them to the table. The response time for key access is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries, since the system always
uses a binary search. Sorted tables are particularly useful for partially sequential processing in a LOOP if you specify the beginning of the
table key in the WHERE condition.
Hashed tables
This is the most appropriate type for any table where the main operation is key access. You cannot access a hashed table using its index.
The response time for key access remains constant, regardless of the number of table entries. Like database tables, hashed tables always
have a unique key. Hashed tables are useful if you want to construct and use an internal table which resembles a database table or for
processing large amounts of data.
Creating Internal Tables
Like other elements in the ABAP type concept, you can declare internal tables as abstract data
types in programs or in the ABAP Dictionary, and then use them to define data objects.
Alternatively, you can define them directly as data objects. When you create an internal table as a
data object, you should ensure that only the administration entry which belongs to an internal
table is declared statically. The minimum size of an internal table is 256 bytes. This is important if an
internal table occurs as a component of an aggregated data object, since even empty internal
tables within tables can lead to high memory usage. (In the next functional release, the size of the
table header for an initial table will be reduced to 8 bytes). Unlike all other ABAP data objects, you
do not have to specify the memory required for an internal table. Table rows are added to and
deleted from the table dynamically at runtime by the various statements for adding and deleting
records.
You can create internal tables in different types.
You can create standard internal table and then make it sort in side the program.
The same way you can change to hashed internal tables also.
There will be some performance issues with regard to standard internal tables/ hashed internal
tables/ sorted internal tables.
Internal table types
This section describes how to define internal tables locally in a program. You can also define internal tables globally as data types in the
ABAP Dictionary.
Like all local data types in programs , you define internal tables using the TYPES statement. If you do not refer to an existing table type
using the TYPE or LIKE addition, you can use the TYPES statement to construct a new local internal table in your program.
TYPES <t> TYPE|LIKE <tabkind> OF <linetype> [WITH <key>]
[INITIAL SIZE <n>].
After TYPE or LIKE, there is no reference to an existing data type. Instead, the type constructor occurs:
<tabkind> OF <linetype> [WITH <key>]
The type constructor defines the table type <tabkind>, the line type <linetype>, and the key <key> of the internal table <t>.
You can, if you wish, allocate an initial amount of memory to the internal table using the INITIAL SIZE addition.
Table type
You can specify the table type <tabkind> as follows:
Generic table types
INDEX TABLE
For creating a generic table type with index access.
ANY TABLE
For creating a fully-generic table type.
Data types defined using generic types can currently only be used for field symbols and for interface parameters in procedures . The generic
type INDEX TABLE includes standard tables and sorted tables. These are the two table types for which index access is allowed. You cannot
pass hashed tables to field symbols or interface parameters defined in this way. The generic type ANY TABLE can represent any table. You
can pass tables of all three types to field symbols and interface parameters defined in this way. However, these field symbols and
parameters will then only allow operations that are possible for all tables, that is, index operations are not allowed.
Fully-Specified Table Types
STANDARD TABLE or TABLE
For creating standard tables.
SORTED TABLE
For creating sorted tables.
HASHED TABLE
For creating hashed tables.
Fully-specified table types determine how the system will access the entries in the table in key operations. It uses a linear search for
standard tables, a binary search for sorted tables, and a search using a hash algorithm for hashed tables.
Line type
For the line type <linetype>, you can specify:
Any data type if you are using the TYPE addition. This can be a predefined ABAP type, a local type in the program, or a data type from the
ABAP Dictionary. If you specify any of the generic elementary types C, N, P, or X, any attributes that you fail to specify (field length, number
of decimal places) are automatically filled with the default values. You cannot specify any other generic types.
Any data object recognized within the program at that point if you are using the LIKE addition. The line type adopts the fully-specified data
type of the data object to which you refer. Except for within classes, you can still use the LIKE addition to refer to database tables and
structures in the ABAP Dictionary (for compatibility reasons).
All of the lines in the internal table have the fully-specified technical attributes of the specified data type.
Key
You can specify the key <key> of an internal table as follows:
[UNIQUE|NON-UNIQUE] KEY <col1> ... <col n>
In tables with a structured line type, all of the components <coli> belong to the key as long as they are not internal tables or references,
and do not contain internal tables or references. Key fields can be nested structures. The substructures are expanded component by
component when you access the table using the key. The system follows the sequence of the key fields.
[UNIQUE|NON-UNIQUE] KEY TABLE LINE
If a table has an elementary line type (C, D, F, I, N, P, T, X), you can define the entire line as the key. If you try this for a table whose line
type is itself a table, a syntax error occurs. If a table has a structured line type, it is possible to specify the entire line as the key. However,
you should remember that this is often not suitable.
[UNIQUE|NON-UNIQUE] DEFAULT KEY
This declares the fields of the default key as the key fields. If the table has a structured line type, the default key contains all non-numeric
columns of the internal table that are not and do not contain references or internal tables. If the table has an elementary line type, the
default key is the entire line. The default key of an internal table whose line type is an internal table, the default key is empty.
Specifying a key is optional. If you do not specify a key, the system defines a table type with an arbitrary key. You can only use this to
define the types of field symbols and the interface parameters of procedures . For exceptions, refer to Special Features of Standard Tables.
The optional additions UNIQUE or NON-UNIQUE determine whether the key is to be unique or non-unique, that is, whether the table can
accept duplicate entries. If you do not specify UNIQUE or NON-UNIQUE for the key, the table type is generic in this respect. As such, it can
only be used for specifying types. When you specify the table type simultaneously, you must note the following restrictions:
You cannot use the UNIQUE addition for standard tables. The system always generates the NON-UNIQUE addition automatically.
You must always specify the UNIQUE option when you create a hashed table.
Initial Memory Requirement
You can specify the initial amount of main memory assigned to an internal table object when you define the data type using the following
addition:
INITIAL SIZE <n>
This size does not belong to the data type of the internal table, and does not affect the type check. You can use the above addition to
reserve memory space for <n> table lines when you declare the table object.
When this initial area is full, the system makes twice as much extra space available up to a limit of 8KB. Further memory areas of 12KB each
are then allocated.
You can usually leave it to the system to work out the initial memory requirement. The first time you fill the table, little memory is used. The
space occupied, depending on the line width, is 16 <= <n> <= 100.
It only makes sense to specify a concrete value of <n> if you can specify a precise number of table entries when you create the table and
need to allocate exactly that amount of memory (exception: Appending table lines to ranked lists). This can be particularly important for
deep-structured internal tables where the inner table only has a few entries (less than 5, for example).
To avoid excessive requests for memory, large values of <n> are treated as follows: The largest possible value of <n> is 8KB divided by the
length of the line. If you specify a larger value of <n>, the system calculates a new value so that n times the line width is around 12KB.
Examples
TYPES: BEGIN OF LINE,
COLUMN1 TYPE I,
COLUMN2 TYPE I,
COLUMN3 TYPE I,
END OF LINE.
TYPES ITAB TYPE SORTED TABLE OF LINE WITH UNIQUE KEY COLUMN1.
The program defines a table type ITAB. It is a sorted table, with line type of the structure LINE and a unique key of the component
COLUMN1.
TYPES VECTOR TYPE HASHED TABLE OF I WITH UNIQUE KEY TABLE LINE.
TYPES: BEGIN OF LINE,
COLUMN1 TYPE I,
COLUMN2 TYPE I,
COLUMN3 TYPE I,
END OF LINE.
TYPES ITAB TYPE SORTED TABLE OF LINE WITH UNIQUE KEY COLUMN1.
TYPES: BEGIN OF DEEPLINE,
FIELD TYPE C,
TABLE1 TYPE VECTOR,
TABLE2 TYPE ITAB,
END OF DEEPLINE.
TYPES DEEPTABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DEEPLINE
WITH DEFAULT KEY.
The program defines a table type VECTOR with type hashed table, the elementary line type I and a unique key of the entire table line. The
second table type is the same as in the previous example. The structure DEEPLINE contains the internal table as a component. The table
type DEEPTABLE has the line type DEEPLINE. Therefore, the elements of this internal table are themselves internal tables. The key is the
default key - in this case the column FIELD. The key is non-unique, since the table is a standard table.
Internal table objects
Internal tables are dynamic variable data objects. Like all variables, you declare them using the DATA statement. You can also declare static
internal tables in procedures using the STATICS statement, and static internal tables in classes using the CLASS-DATA statement. This
description is restricted to the DATA statement. However, it applies equally to the STATICS and CLASS-DATA statements.
Reference to Declared Internal Table Types
Like all other data objects, you can declare internal table objects using the LIKE or TYPE addition of the DATA statement.
DATA <itab> TYPE <type>|LIKE <obj> [WITH HEADER LINE].
Here, the LIKE addition refers to an existing table object in the same program. The TYPE addition can refer to an internal type in the
program declared using the TYPES statement, or a table type in the ABAP Dictionary.
You must ensure that you only refer to tables that are fully typed. Referring to generic table types (ANY TABLE, INDEX TABLE) or not
specifying the key fully is not allowed (for exceptions, refer to Special Features of Standard Tables).
The optional addition WITH HEADER line declares an extra data object with the same name and line type as the internal table. This data
object is known as the header line of the internal table. You use it as a work area when working with the internal table (see Using the
Header Line as a Work Area). When you use internal tables with header lines, you must remember that the header line and the body of the
table have the same name. If you have an internal table with header line and you want to address the body of the table, you must indicate
this by placing brackets after the table name (<itab>[]). Otherwise, ABAP interprets the name as the name of the header line and not of the
body of the table. You can avoid this potential confusion by using internal tables without header lines. In particular, internal tables nested
in structures or other internal tables must not have a header line, since this can lead to ambiguous expressions.
TYPES VECTOR TYPE SORTED TABLE OF I WITH UNIQUE KEY TABLE LINE.
DATA: ITAB TYPE VECTOR,
JTAB LIKE ITAB WITH HEADER LINE.
MOVE ITAB TO JTAB. <- Syntax error!
MOVE ITAB TO JTAB[].
The table object ITAB is created with reference to the table type VECTOR. The table object JTAB has the same data type as ITAB. JTAB also
has a header line. In the first MOVE statement, JTAB addresses the header line. Since this has the data type I, and the table type of ITAB
cannot be converted into an elementary type, the MOVE statement causes a syntax error. The second MOVE statement is correct, since
both operands are table objects.
Declaring New Internal Tables
You can use the DATA statement to construct new internal tables as well as using the LIKE or TYPE addition to refer to existing types or
objects. The table type that you construct does not exist in its own right; instead, it is only an attribute of the table object. You can refer to
it using the LIKE addition, but not using TYPE. The syntax for constructing a table object in the DATA statement is similar to that for defining
a table type in the TYPES statement.
DATA <itab> TYPE|LIKE <tabkind> OF <linetype> WITH <key>
[INITIAL SIZE <n>]
[WITH HEADER LINE].
As when you define a table type , the type constructor
<tabkind> OF <linetype> WITH <key>
defines the table type <tabkind>, the line type <linekind>, and the key <key> of the internal table <itab>. Since the technical attributes of
data objects are always fully specified, the table must be fully specified in the DATA statement. You cannot create generic table types (ANY
TABLE, INDEX TABLE), only fully-typed tables (STANDARD TABLE, SORTED TABLE, HASHED TABLE). You must also specify the key and whether
it is to be unique (for exceptions, refer to Special Features of Standard Tables).
As in the TYPES statement, you can, if you wish, allocate an initial amount of memory to the internal table using the INITIAL SIZE addition.
You can create an internal table with a header line using the WITH HEADER LINE addition. The header line is created under the same
conditions as apply when you refer to an existing table type.
DATA ITAB TYPE HASHED TABLE OF SPFLI
WITH UNIQUE KEY CARRID CONNID.
The table object ITAB has the type hashed table, a line type corresponding to the flat structure SPFLI from the ABAP Dictionary, and a
unique key with the key fields CARRID and CONNID. The internal table ITAB can be regarded as an internal template for the database table
SPFLI. It is therefore particularly suitable for working with data from this database table as long as you only access it using the key.

International Roaming and Whats it all about.

Roaming and what’s it about?Roaming is when you are no longer able to Pick Up your home Network (O2-UK). This is normally when you are in another country. However it is possible to pick up French Network when in UK and the Irish Networks when you’re still in Northern Ireland. But if you phone is displaying anything else beside O2-UK or BT Cellnet (On Some Older Phones), then you are Roaming on a Foreign Network and Roaming Charges will apply if Services are used. Is O2-IE the same as O2-UK?Answer is no. O2-IE is a completely independent business to O2-UK and therefore Roaming Charges would apply.O2-IE (O2 Ireland) and O2-UK (O2 United Kingdom) are both Part of the Telefonica Group, but this is all and is 2 Separate businesses Do I need to Activate Roaming?If you are an O2 PAYG Customer then Roaming is activated automatically as you can only spend what you have in Credit.O2 Contract customers may need to call 202 to confirm they have Roaming Activated on their account if they have never used the service before or had issues in the past. How does Roaming Work?When you travel outside your Home Network, your Mobile Phone Sim will ask the Roaming (Foreign) network first if it can use the services on their Network. (You IMEI number of your phone is also sent to verify it’s not the Stolen / Missing Database as well) The Foreign Network will take details from your Sim card and go back to the International Centre and check if O2 has an agreement first to use the Network and then if the Sim card is activated to use the Roaming. (This is why there is a delay sometimes in first switching on your mobile to you getting a signal and a Network Name) If all comes back ok, then the Sim will receive instruction and you notice the Roaming Network Name shown on your phone. What you may not know is that when the phone is authorised to use the Roaming Network, It is given a temporary allocated foreign number of the country you are visiting. So you may have someone calling you and they may notice that the Ring tone suddenly sounds different in their Earpiece and not like the UK Ring. This is because of the Foreign Number allocated and that you are roaming on their Countries Network. One this you will never know though is the Temporary Roaming Number as this is only a Forward number and changes. So what charges do you pay for when roaming?Making Calls? Yes you pay for all of the Call.Receiving Calls? Yes you pay for the Roaming country Inbound Part of the Call.Sending a SMS? Yes you pay to send a SMS.Receiving a SMS? No it’s free to receive a SMS.Sending a MMS? Yes you pay to send a MMS.Receiving a MMS? You may be charged for Data Usage to receive the MMS ( I never have on O2, But I know other UK networks charge)Data Usage Is all chargeable The Person who is Calling or Texting you from the UK. This is where a lot of confusion becomes and people become worried regarding charges. Simple Fact to Remember:Even though the person you are contacting is abroad. You are still only calling their UK Mobile Number. So treat it as they are still in the UK. So for example: If you have free UK Text allowance, it will still be Free (Your Texting a UK mobile Number)If you have Free UK Minutes, then again you are calling a UK Mobile Number, so it will use your UK Minutes Allowance.If you don’t have Free Allowances, then you will be charged at your normal standard Rate of ringing a UK or Texting a UK Mobile number Couple of Questions and Answers that may come in useful: Q) I’m abroad and my friend is abroad, will I be charged to contact my friend as I’m only calling a UK Mobile numberA) Yes, even though you are calling a UK Mobile Number. You are not in the UK and the person you are calling isn’t, so you will pay the Roaming Charges to make the call and the person who is receiving the call will pay the inbound part of the charge Q) Why am I charged twice for Voice Mail Messages?A) When someone tries to contact you and you don’t answer, the call is then passed back to the O2-UK voice mail as a return call, So you pay for the Return part of the call even though you didn’t answer your Mobile. Then when you want to listen to your voice mail, you pay to make the call and listen to it. So this is where Double Charges apply Q) Why are inbound SMS free when I’m abroad?A) This was set by the EU Telecoms Parliament, that any EU Mobile Company must allow their users to allow incoming SMS for Free anywhere in the world. Q) What is the Difference between Roaming and Home Networks?A) Your home network is in your network where you purchased the Sim from. So if you purchased your Sim card in the UK and from O2, your home network would be O2-UK and you would be allocated a UK Mobile number.Roaming is when you are no longer on your home network. So for example you go to Spain and you pick up Telefonica ES. This mean you are Roaming on a Spanish Network. If you have any other questions please ask and I will gladly try to answer them and will keep editing the 1st thread to make it easier for everyone to read.

International usage charges

I'm just a little confused about how international usage works. If you don't sign up for any kind of plan and take your iPhone (to say India, where I'll be headed), will the phone still work and if so, what charges will apply? I will be using the call and voicemail feature little to none and I won't be getting incoming calls, but what about text messaging and safari? How much will those cost me if I don't agree to any plans? Or will none of it work at all?

Alice K,
You will want to enable International Roaming with AT&T before you leave to allow you to make/receive calls internationally. AT&T would be your best source for international charges for calls and text messages. You can read the following article for more information about international travel with your iPhone:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1686
International data charges can get fairly expensive. The new iPhone 2.0 software will enable you to turn airplane mode on (which disables cell networks, so you will not receive calls or use the cell data network) but also turn Wi-Fi on, so you can still access local Wi-Fi networks and hotspots. Therefore you can still browse on Safari when you are within range of a Wi-Fi network without being worried about data charges. In this mode, you will not receive calls or missed call notifications, however. You can find out more information about the iPhone 2.0 software by watching this guided tour:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/guidedtour/
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

International Usage - WARNING - Outrageously expensive!

I bought a iPhone the day it was released, absolutely love it, and a week later went to Europe. The phone works great over there and so does EDGE, i.e just as slow as here..
Got home, received my first AT&T bill: THEY CHARGED ME $940 FOR INTERNATIONAL DATA ROAMING - TOTAL USAGE WAS 40MB.
I called AT&T and complained - I didn't recall the promo for "unlimited data" clearly excluded international - was told "they happen to have a $24.99/month international data plan for the iPhone with 20MB of data" - no unlimited data plan was available, even though you can get one if you have a 3G card for your laptop.
Also, while international roaming IT WILL COST YOU 50 CENTS PER SMS YOU SEND AND 15 CENTS TO RECEIVE ONE - NO PLAN IS AVAILABLE!
The end of my story was I got 20MB for $24.99 but I had to pay $470 for the other 20MB.......
So if you plan to use your iPhone internationally:
- Tell everyone not to send you SMS's and don't send one yourself
- Don't use Google Maps, Safari or Mail, unless in Wi-Fi zone
- Alternatively get the 20MB plan
I can only conclude current AT&T policies is a total rip-off when it comes to international usage. Maybe it would be cheaper to get an account with the European carrier later this year. AT&T surely needs some competition.

I am sorry to say that I told everyone so (among others who did the same). The iPhone is NOT a good international device. I posted several comments on this. Be aware that it is not just downloading items yourself, Internet use or email/messaging. The iPhone has a serious operational deficiency in that constantly updates the weather, clock and stock Widgits throughout the day. Over a week or two this can add up to hundreds of KB and you have no control over this. (I bet at least 30% of your charges are foir this, Check your datalogs and look for weird data access times such as in the wee hours of the morning).

Why is it that it takes 48 hours to update my international usage?

As a subscriber to the 500 minutes Verizon World Plan I find the practice of updating of the usage 48 hours after the making of a call highly suspect. My choices here is either risk going over the limit unknowingly - and being hit with an excessively high charge - or not using all of the minutes that I am paying for! If my bank handled my checking account in this manner, I am sure the government would shut them down.
Each time a call is made - international or not - the number called and the duration of that call is recorded. Why is it that the international account is not immediately updated right after that call? CableVision international plan does it! I know there is absolutely no reason - other than one to sucker the consumer into either going over the limit or to not use all the allowed minutes - why this updating cannot be done. I worked in IT for more than 50 years - computer operator, computer programmer, system programmer, data base administrator, network specialist - explain to me what is the limitation in your system design that prevent the immediate updating of the international usage account.

Without having more specific information from you - and BTW - don't just repeat the question in the description area of your post - provide some details - here are a number of basic troubleshooting steps that you can try.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If Safari is bogging down on you ....
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

IP Reserved for Internal Usage?

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but what does the following LAN setting in a Router do/refer to?
"IP Reserved for Internal Usage:"

Hi Malcolm,
Networking address space for the IP protocol is broken into classes — A, B, and C. (There is also Class D for multicasting and Class E for a small set of very reserved,“don't ever touch these” addresses.) In each of the Class A and Class C spaces, there are address ranges reserved for internal, non-Internet use (or a non-Internet routing space for IP traffic). There are two ranges in the Class A space: the 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 range (also represented as 10.x.x.x) and the 172.0.0.0 to 172.255.255.255 range (172.x.x.x) You may be using one of these spaces in your networks for internal addresses assigned to various hosts (network devices).
Hope to Help !!

Iphone for international Usage

I'm heading to Ireland in a couple weeks and would like to know about international usage. Anybody know how I go about this? I have AT&T.

FIRST you must have your phone account enabled for International roaming. You call them to do this. Then you add a voice roaming package, that reduces your call costs from $1.29/minute to $0.99 per minute. For data it's a little better.
I suggest adding the data roaming package, but when you get to Ireland go to any phone store and buy a cheap phone (~ £20) and a pay-as-you-go SIM and use it for voice calls. You can add and remove the data roaming package, however, it must remain on the phone for 1 billing cycle.
Almost forgot the link to roaming package options: http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/roaming/affordable-world-package s.jsp#data

High CPU Usage and Temperature

I've recently purchased a MacBook with the latest updates, including the firmware for the random shutdowns but lately when I boot the MacBook up, the fans kick on and it reads 83 degrees Celsius with about 65% CPU Usage and I don't have anything running except what came on the MacBook in itself, any suggestions?? Apple told me to take it in to have it looked at but I was wondering if there is anything I can fix perhaps?? Thank you

Sometimes when I connect an external drive which I have made drastic file changes to, there are two process that eat up a lot of cpu power and get the macbook really hot for awhile, those two processed are related to the way spotlight tries to re-index the external drive or the internal hd itself if I had made drastic changes to it too.
Could it be that?
You can see them show up in Activity Monitor, they are mdimport and another one starting with md(something) too.
Hope that helps (if that's the issue)
Best,
Pedro

Iphone 4 battery life draining battery usage and standby has (-) sign

I know there are forums with the same question, however, I need to know what to do if the restore as new doesn't work as well as trying to turn off the notifications. My battery life was fine until I up graded to iOS5.0.1.
I've also done a hard reboot tried to run the battery down and recharge to 100%. Nothing seems to work. I'm getting a usage and battery standby time of ( - ), no figures at all.
With only 2 short calls and a couple of minutes of internet usage my phone has gone from 100% at 7h this morning to 70% at 11h36. I've only noticed the battery drain over the last few days. The only changes were a couple of upgrades on the apps and even deleting those aren't working. I've also tried to delete my email accounts. I've reinstalled the email settings not with exchange but through gmail. My notifications are at a minimum and iCloud is switched off, the only thing that it is backing are my contacts.
Help! I travel far to get to work and need a reliable phone. I'm not sure whether to hold out for a new update on the software or take it to the genius bar.
Any help would be appreciated.

This seems to mainly affect the 4S however if you search the forum (hardware and using iPhone ) you will find many solutions that have either solved or dramatically improved the situation
My 4 did playup with 5.0.1 up but picking a selection of the solutions has returned mine to normal
Location Services to name but one

Data usage and battery drain has skyrocketed with iOS 8.1.2 (maybe earlier)

3 weeks ago my wife got a text message on her iPhone 5 from AT&T that she had used 90% of her data for the month. 30 seconds later, she got another one saying that she had used 100%. Granted, her data plan is small, 200 MB. But, for the last two years she has used as little as 17 MB in a month and her largest prior to this latest month was 49 mb. This month she got to 380 mb before we were able to shut off her cell data. Otherwise, a second chunk of 200 MB and another $15 would have been added to the month.
We had noticed that her battery had been draining rather rapidly in standby mode with no background apps running when she didn't have access to WiFi. We have now correlated the two results, High Cell data usage, Quick battery drain and very warm phone. In case anyone is wondering about her iPhone 5 being one in the recall, it is. I took it in and had it tested. Apple says the battery is fine. It does hold a charge well. When all network communications are shut down on her phone and it is in standby mode, there is no noticeable loss of charge in 24 hours (our longest test).
Since I have a grandfathered Unlimited Data Plan with AT&T, I have been doing some testing on my iPhone 5s. Sure enough, I've seen similar results. With nearly everything turned off except Cell Data, I've seen 483 MB used in 24 hours. Of that total, 479 MB was used for Documents & Sync. I even have everything turned off in my iCloud account, Location services are turned off, no push notifications etc...
The best I can figure, this has been a problem since we installed 8.1.2 and yesterday I installed 8.1.3 resulting in no positive effect on this issue.
At this rate of data usage and no access to WiFi, my wife would have to have a 15 Gb data plan to keep from exceeding her limit. I don't think AT&T even offers one that big anymore. I might have to switch to Sprint or T-Mobile if this doesn't get resolved.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your shared insights.

Hey this is Brian, bjmcmurry, under a different user ID. If I logged in as bmcmurry, original post, I was just getting a server error and couldn't get to this discussion nor post a comment anywhere.
Anyway, let me be as brief as I can. After an extensive analysis of replicating the problem on another phone to eliminate it being a hardware specific issue and that the test phone has an unlimited data plan, I was able to stop the excessive data usage and consequential battery drain. I believe I have a reasonable explanation of the problem, an iOS logic bug.
I had everything under my control clamped down on the test phone to minimize data usage. Also, I was forcing all data usage to use the cell towers. I determined that I was burning at least 11 to 13 Mb per hour doing nothing important. I literally had everything turned off except 'Settings' was allowed to use Cell data providing a avenue to log into the Apple ID.
The two phones had 2 things in common, they were using the same Apple ID and the same version of the OS. One was a iPhone 5 and the other was a 5s.
Here is a synopsis of my experience via my written evaluation of the Apple support system (Apple Rep name's have been removed):
After a couple of hours on the phone with an Apple Care Senior support Analyst, it was suggested that I go to the Apple Store to 1) get my battery replace in the iPhone 5 since it qualified for the replacement program and 2) see if the Genius could provide me with any insight in the data usage issue and battery drain.
I'm certainly glad I had multiple reasons to visit the closest Apple store, a 45 min drive. I got the battery replaced, thanks for that.
Regarding the important issue to me that brought me to the Genius Bar, excessive Cell data usage, I thought the Genius did a wonderful job listening and documenting the problem we were experiencing. Unfortunately, educating us on the use of the product or replacing our phone was not going to solve the problem. He eventually figured it out, this was not a user error or broken hardware. We surmised that the reason I was sent to him was to verify and document that there was a problem. I clearly had a problem. After writing copious notes on the issue, The Genius smartly referred me back the the AppleCare Senior Advisor. So, back to AppleCare Senior Analyst I went. She, knowing this was not a simple problem to solve i.e. beyond her level of expertise, got an Apple Software engineer involved.
My primary frustration is that this should have been escalated to software engineering right away. My trip to see the Genius was, I believe, a waste of time for both me and Apple regarding this issue. Diagnosis of this type of problem is well beyond the Genius’ knowledge and job. The Genius did a very good job doing what he could within the scope of his job. He just couldn’t solve this problem and had no one within Apple to which he had access for help.
However, that initial consult with the engineer was a bit feeble. Not only could I not talk to him/her directly, his/her focus was still working with the ‘Black Box' approach. Having Analyst ask me to do stuff like restore the Phone was more like trying to find a 'work around' than 'identifying the real problem.' Maybe restoring the phone was going to fix some corrupted data on the phone sidesteping the real problem, the handling of this condition. The engineer did listen to the fact that I had restored the test phone, the 5s, and only added the use of my Apple ID. Duh, been there!!!
Having been an previous owner of a software development company that I started in 1980 and retired in 2001, I can tell you that using the 'Black Box' method of debugging is extremely inefficient. Instead, having access to an ‘Activity Manager’ type app to identify in real time what process was blowing up the data flow would have saved me a lost afternoon at the Apple store and hours on the phone with tech support.
Ironically, I may have stumbled onto a "work around" solution short of turning off Cell Data that stopped the excessive Cell Data usage and consequential battery drain. Just prior to leaving the Apple Store, I used one of their Macs to log in my Apple ID on the id.apple.com website to ‘Manage my Apple ID’, I was forced to upgrade the security level of my password. Afterward, my cell data usage seemed to drop dramatically.
I told the AppleCare Senior Analyst that I may have stumbled onto a workaround and I suggested that I give it a couple of days of monitoring. We'd talk then and I would have results to report. She agreed.
Sure enough, my Document & Sync usage was back to normal, about 1/2 Mb per day. Am I happy that the excessive Cell Data usage has stopped? You bet! But, there was no intuitive reason that an end user would know to log in on the ID website to unknowingly solve this problem. As I use to say to my employees, that is not the ‘Macintosh Way.’ And, rebooting the the 'Microsoft Way.'
When I reported my findings to the Analyst, we both concluded that data usage was back to normal. She did report to me that the engineer did provide a laundry list of suggested activities to help solve the problem. Remarkably, they were everything that I had already done and were pretty much what the Analyst and the Genius tried to do. All reasonable tasks. But clearly, the engineer hadn't even ready the notes on the case before responding. And, none of the things suggested would have uncovered the real problem, likely a logic bug in iOS.
My advice now is to have the software engineering team rule out that there was an unresolvable state that a background process was fiercely trying to handle. The iOS does not seem to know how to intervene and prompt the user with a requirement to upgrade their password. If this does end up being the case, I would call it a logic bug, a perpetual exception that is not being handled properly.
Anyway, I hope this helps you.

Problem with memory usage and CPU usage

Hello,
i have a problem with the memory usage and cpu usage in my project!
My application must run for more than 24 hrs. The problem is that the longer it runs the bigger is the memory and cpu usage!
It starts with ~15% CPU usage and ~70 MBytes memory usage. After ~ 24hrs the CPU usage is ~60% and the memory usage is ~170 MBytes!
After 3 days the CPU usage is almost about 70% and the memory usage is about 360 MBytes!
What can I do to reduce this huge recource usage?
Thank you!

Hi Pahe,
   I think the issue is memory usage, since CPU usage can increase due to greater memory requirements.
   Anyway, it's difficult to debug without seeing your code, can you post it (possibly for LV 7.1 compatibility)? Or just post a JPEG of the piece of code that can give problems...
   I guess you're appending data to an array instead of replace data elements, but I can't be sure...
   Have a nice day!

GR/IR Account - one for internal vendor and another for external vendors

Hi Experts,
Can I have two GR/IR accounts - one for internal vendors and another for external vendors? Please let me know.
Thank you.
with regards,
Muthu Ganapathy.

Hi Muthu,
GR/IR accounts are not dependent on Vendors, they are dependent on Materials, to be precise on Plant/Valclass.
You can post to 2 different GR/IR accounts if you set up 2 different classes. then it is possible.
For setting up the same. Go to T.code : OBYC, Transaction : WRX.
Here Setup different GR/IR accounts per val.class.
Letme know if you need further info
Thanks
