Is my BP-4L fake?

I have bought a Nokia E72 a week ago believing my battery would last at least 3-4 days. However, I find that my battery stays full on the first day after full charge and then rapidly drops down to be depleted in the evening of the second day. My usage is the same on both days.
I have 3G on, all other radios (WiFi, bluetooth) off, Nokia Messaging set to check email every hour, and I browse web with Opera mini moderately. I almost do not make any calls but write a few messages.
This certainly isn't the phenomenal battery life I was expecting. I've been wondering whether my battery was fake and checked online. The hologram seems to be ok; it appears to have depth, is clear and sharp, and I can see 1,2,3 and 4 dots from 4 perspectives.
The only thing that matches the fake battery descriptions online are the rounded cut-offs like the ones in this picture. (apparently, top one is fake and the bottom one is genuine)

So, is my battery fake?

I did weigh my original battery and it was 31 gm. My E71 phone was purchased by our Nokia staff directly from Nokia so the battery was expected to be original. Some replacement battries on ebay I purchased weigh 23-27 gms and dont last a day. Christopher

Unit Testing with Microsoft Sharepoint Emulators and Fakes with Visual Studio 2013

Hi All,
I have created Test Project and now creating Test cases for Sharepoint. I found a link on MSDN which suggests using Fakes framework but it supports VS2012 and I am using Visual Studio 2013.
So how can I use it with VS2013 or is there any other way with which I can implement the Test cases with VS2013.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Himanshu Nigam

Hi HimanshuNigam,
According to your descrition, my understanding is that you want to use Fakes framework to create test case for SharePoint project in Visual Studio 2013.
If you want to test using Fakes Framework, you can use the codeplex extension to achieve it. It supports Visual Studio 2013.
Here is a detailed article for your reference:
Better Unit Testing with Microsoft Fakes
About how to include the Nuget package, you can use the package with the link below:
NuGet Package Manager for Visual Studio 2013

If you still have question about this issue, I suggest you can create a post in Visual Studio, more experts will help you and you can get more detailed information from there:

My ipad does not have the amount of GB on the back and in the settings it says 56gb! Also there is no setting called regulatory. It is an ipad 4 retina w wifi that i got as a Christmas present. Could it be a fake? How can i tell?

The amount of storage that is shown on the box and in Settings are calculated differently - the package uses 1 billion bytes as a gig (i.e. decimal), whereas in Settings it's shown as the binary definition : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419
Also some space has been used for iOS, the built-in app and some space is lost due to formatting.

Thanks for trying to help. Sadly, I followed the instructions and it rebooted to the blue screen again.
It's going to have to go to Apple for repairs now. I'm out of options.
I am wondering how much easier it would have been if I'd created a time machine restore point. I got what I deserved for failing to do that, but I'm doubtful even that would have worked in this case. It does seem to be because of that piece of widely reported malware that didn't want to leave without causing damage.
The most frustrating aspect is the safe boot. I get to the desktop but without any menu, finder or dock. It seems to be similar to the problem below...
http://www.macsmarts.com/?p=109
But that's for Tiger. I tried that to no effect.
Like I said, it's going to have to go to Apple now because I've done so many things I don't know if I'm just digging myself a deeper hole.
Thanks again for offering help.

Cannot boot into Arch using Gummiboot and Intel fake RAID

This is my first time installing Arch Linux in a few years. The installation seemed to go fine, but I can't boot into it. At this point, when I try to boot into it this is my console output: http://pastie.org/9389435
First of all, what confuses me about this output are the RAID lines. My system currently has two RAID arrays: My RAID0 array where Windows 7 is installed and my RAID1 array where I'm attempting to install Arch Linux. My fstab nor Gummiboot entry files refer to the RAID0 array at all. Why does it activate the partitions on the RAID0 array but not the RAID1 array?
Second of all, lines 10, 11, 14, and 16 refer to /dev/sdd3. When I mount the partitions on my RAID array using the Arch live CD, I have to refer to them as either /dev/md/RAID1_0p1-4 or /dev/md124p1-4. The /dev/sda-sdd seem to refer to the individual drives. Why is it different when I try to boot into the system?
Here is my current fstab: http://sprunge.us/bQCT
The reason fstab is using labels is because the genfstab command generated an fstab that mounted the partitions on the RAID array with their /dev/md124p1-4 names. I noticed these names sometimes changed if I booted back into the live cd, so at one point I changed those names to the /dev/md/RAID1_0p1-4 names. Then in another attempt to fix the problem I'm currently having, I gave each of the partitions labels and I'm now referring to them by their labels in fstab. I also removed the commented UUID's since a few of them had changed since this fstab was generated. Everything to the right of the labels was kept from the original genfstab command.
Here is my gummiboot arch.conf entry file: http://sprunge.us/HPVb
I'm also referring to my root partition by label in this file, rather than the UUID which seems to be the norm. The reason for this is because I was previously getting an error saying that it couldn't even find the root partition based on that UUID. As you can see, I left the UUID line commented in case I have to use it again later.
Here is my mkinitcpio.conf file, which I'm thinking the problem has something to do with this since it's the part I understand the least: http://sprunge.us/IFDL
The modifications I made to this file were based on what I read in the fake raid article on the Arch wiki. All I did was make sure dm_mod and dm_mirror were added to the MODULES line and dmraid was added to the HOOKS line. At first I also had chipset_module_driver in MODULES, but it just generated warnings when I ran `mkinicpio -p linux` so I took it out. I don't know what that module would be for, since it only says "if necessary" on the wiki.
As for the emergency shell it puts me in when it fails to boot, there's not really much I can do from there. The filesystem it puts me in looks entirely different from the root filesystem I can mount from the live cd.
At this point, I'm stumped and I'm not sure where to go from here.

x:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon
This is the line that's causing it. It's probably not because of this line, but because kdm isn't starting properly (possibly erroring) and being re-run because of the respawn option.
Try booting into single user mode, changing the default run level to 3, and debugging it from there (figure out why kdm doesn't want to start right).

I keep getting an upgrade to firefox 5 beta. It needs me to turn off my security which I won't. Is there a upgrade to firefox 5 beta? How can I get rid of it? It looks fake!!!

Every time I log on, it comes up saying an upgrade is available. I click on it and it tells me to turn off my McAfee. I will not turn it off. There is a half of the firefox logo on the screen. I suspect this is a fake website and encouraging me to think that it is a legal website so I can download the upgrade. I won't do it. I visit your sites and it doesn't show as an upgrade to 5 beta. Can you please get back to me on this as soon as possible? Thank you very much.
Ezekiel Moonihoawa

It is possible that you are still on the beta update channel if you ever installed a Firefox 4 beta version or a release candidate.<br />
You can check that by looking at the pref <b>app.update.channel</b> on the about:config page.<br />
If the value of that pref is beta then it is better to download and install the latest Firefox 4.0.x release.

I have what appears to be a virus on my Mac namely MAL/FAK AV-OQ how can I remove it? I have only discovered after running SOPHOS anti virus software???

I have what appears to be a virus on my mac namely MAL/FAK AV-OQ I only discovered it after installing SOPHOS anti virus software.
I cannot remove it automatically with this software it says it has to be done manually.
Where do I start???
Help req'd urgently

That is Windows malware, and cannot affect your Mac. See:
http://www.sophos.com/en-us/threat-center/threat-analyses/viruses-and-spyware/Ma l~FakeAV-OQ.aspx
It may be attached to an e-mail message or could be something that was copied over from a Windows machine via flash drive or something similar. If it is attached to an e-mail message, simply delete the e-mail. (Do not let Sophos, or any other anti-virus software, quarantine the message or attachment! That can corrupt the mailbox that the message resides in.) If it isn't an e-mail message, you can let Sophos quarantine and delete the file or you can delete it yourself.

How to fake ISDN b-channels as busy out of the pri-group timeslots definition ?

Hi, Cisco Support Community,
This is my first post here, so I hope I won't make mistakes... First, thanks for reading me.
I wanted to reuse an old 2811 to act as a SIP gateway on an ISDN primary rate interface. This router is featured with 2 PVDM2-8 modules, so that we're able to handle up to 16 simultaneous calls. So I ordered a pri with 10 channels, which is supposed to be more than enough for our usage.
Everything works fine, excepted that I discovered that the PRI which was delivered to us is a full one, meaning 30 B channels.
As a result, as incoming calls are dispatched round robin by the isdn line provider, when incoming calls start to be presented on b-channel 16, the call is rejected by the router with a "channel unavailable" message... The only way to have a successful incoming call is then to have 15 more unsuccessful tries so that the calls are presented on B-channel 1 again :-/
I have to wait for monday to deal with the line provider to sort this out, but meanwhile, I was trying to find a workaround.
My first try was to use B-channel negotiation on the serial interface (isdn negotiate-bchan resend-setup), but it seems that b channel negociation is disabled on the provider side.
So the other obvious solution would be to fake channels 17 to 31 as busy (isdn busy b_channel xx) ... But as the pri-group timeslots are 1-16, the related serial interface is serial0/0/0:15, and I'm unable to set busy B-channels over 15. And of course, I have no way to define pri-group timeslots 1-31 as I have not enough DSPs to handle more than 16.
I also tried to use the ds0 busyout directive within the E1 controller configuration, but while the command is accepted, it does not appear in the configuration
Below is my running configuration... If some of you can help, this would be much appreciated. Current IOS on the router is Version 12.3(11)T3
Kind regards,
Philippe Martorell

How can I fake my FROM email address to look like I'm sending it from work?

I want to not have to log into my work webmail everyday and I want to just use MobileMe. I have all my work mail forwarded to MobileMe. The problem is that I don't want to ever have to log into work mail to send a message. How can I fake my from email address to look like I'm sending it from work?

You can't do that with MobileMe. MobileMe's mail servers will only accept senders from their own domains (@mac.com and @me.com). No other senders, not even from configured personal domains, will be accepted.
You will either have to use your companies SMTP server or, if not public available, your companies webmail.

So I created my Apple ID when I was 12 and used a fake email, now that I have a real email I can't remember the answered to my Apple ID therefore I cannot change it to my proper email. How do I change my email because?

HHow do I change the email to my apple id when I don't remember security questions and its a fake email?

Which email address are you trying to change ?
You won't be able to change the rescue email address until you can answer your security questions, if you can't remember your answers and gave a fake email address for it then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then change your rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
If it's the primary email address that you are trying to change : Change your Apple ID - Apple Support

I think I bought a fake or counterfeit version of Photoshop CS6 extended. How do I find out for sure.

i am using windows 7 on an HP Pavilion dv6-6108. I purchased Photoshop CS6 extended. The guy said it is a full Retail version and "self installs" the serial number and activates. It doesn't fully install into my control panel programs, instead it puts 2 icons on the desk top for Photoshop, but they have a "install shield" on them. I can't update (the update and register features are grayed out.under the help menu. The program opens, but everytime it does, it brings up the window asking if you want to let this program make changes on the computer. Supposedly the serial number that auto-loads is inscribed on the inner ring of the disk, but you can't really tell what they are. So I have no way to know what it is. Lots of other odd ball stuff that makes me doubt the genuineness of the product. What can I do to establish real or fake? And to get it registered like my other Adobe products.

That's the dead giveaway. It's counterfeit.

Hi there, i want to buy a registered version of PS CS4 (and an Upgrade to CS6)from a private Person...is there any Possibility to check if the Adobe ID,Licence,User is a real person...or a fake before buying it? Thanks for helping!

Hi,
just got an offer from a private Person, who owns a boxed Version of Photoshop CS4 (DVD) and an Upgrade from CS4 to CS6....he told me that he can transfer the current license to me... now there's one important question for me...
Is there any possibility to check his Adobe-ID (which he already told me) if it's the same adress, name,etc. as he told me...
or if there is an registered Version of PS CS4 owned by this Adobe-ID?
Just like to check if he's a real person or a fake...don't want to buy any stolen or illegal software...or beeing punked after paying the money...
Thank you very much for helping me! :-)
Chriss

Old versions of Photoshop are not marketed by Adobe. Only CS5 can be upgraded to CS6. There are many scams on the web if you find a cheap copy of Photoshop out there its most likely a scam... Be careful.....

Fake Flash Drives Threaten PCs and Networks Alike! Did You Test Yours?

Hello Brothers;
I wanted to post this in the more mainstream Mac forums because it really does affect everyone who purchases flash drives or ANY memory product online.
In the past year, eBay and Amazon have been flooded with counterfeit flash drives that look identical to name brands. They look JUST LIKE the real deal. I know. Last month I unwarily bought a "Kingston" flash drive on eBay. Though PayPal grudgingly reimbursed me, this goes FAR beyond my being swindled.
Thousands of these fake drives have been purchased on eBay and Amazon as graduation and birthday gifts and party flavors and are landing in the unwary hands of those who jobs cannot tolerate data corrupted by one missing digit. When you walk past a hospital or construction site or industrial plant, someone there is plugging a flash drive into computers for precise medical and drug formula info or to feed instructions to heavy machinery or control a chemical plant or an aspect of our communications infrastructure. Maybe even computers aboard military aircraft and ships. This is an insidious and malignant issue that deserves FAR more attention by media and government than it has.
You can heads-up on this issue, find victim redemption assistance and test your flash drive at: http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/
Please write to your local TV station and political representative about this pernicious blight! The person you eventually help might be you! Would you want the doctor or med tech managing your mother in a hospital to be carrying a fake flash?

Sounds like all of the troubleshooting regarding your home's wiring has been done. The noise on the phone line says what the problem is, and we should address the issues with voice FIRST before we start dealing with the DSL. Generally, once the phone is solved, the DSL will follow along.
Since you're receiving noise on the line, especially when the DSL is online you need to give Verizon a call during the time of the static from another line. Use a cell phone or a neighbor's line. When prompted, enter in your phone number and then navigate to Technical Support to the Telephone Repair section. When the agent comes on, tell them you are receiving Intermittent Static. They should proceed to perform a test called the MLT test, which will check your copper loop for any problems that may be developing such as shorts or unusual resistency (which can cause issues with DSL and phone). If the test picks up a problem, the agent should immediately be able to write up a trouble ticket with the details of the test for a technician to repair it. Just be aware, do NOT answer the phone or use your phone line while the test is ran. Stick to the alternate phone you are dialing support from. It requires the copper loop to be idle. DSL can be kept on with no problems. While in the call and when the tech visits (if they need to stop down), do NOT mention the DSL. Let them do the task of repairing the phone line. Once the problem is solved, you should see the DSL line stabalize, and if the statistics improve enough, the speed return and increase past the highest levels you've seen in a few days.
Your line should be short enough to have 3Mbps running on it. Just need to get the loop repaired
