Is there a way to get my pantech uml290 to automatically reconnect when my windows 7 pc wakes up?

I have my windows 7 pro desktop set to go to sleep every hour (control panel, power options). When it wakes up, the pantech uml290 mifi device is invariably disconnected. I used to just restart the computer, but I found if I go into device manager (right-click my computer, properties, device manager) and click on network and click action, then scan for hardware changes it will reconnect it. But there should be a way to set the device so it reconnects automatically.

Update-PROBLEM FIXED by verizon support. I called my local verizon wireless store, who quickly got me tech support after running through a few things. I didn't know you could disable power management for just one device, but verizon tech support did! So you go into device manager, expand universal serial bus controllers, right click the first "root hub", click the power tab, and see if your device shows up. If it doesn't, continue this process through all the root hubs until it does.
When you find it, select it, and click the power management tab on the far right. Uncheck "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". Restart the computer to save this setting. Then test it by putting the computer to sleep.
It did take about 30 seconds until the pantech uml 290 was connected, but it connected successfully three times in a row. I'm very happy with both the verizon store and verizon tech support. They were both very helpful and pleasant to talk t, and efficiently resolved the problem. I still think you pay too much for mobile broadband, and am a little put off that the problem existed in the first place, but I'm very happy to have this problem resolved.
One other piece of info. I got was that there is an upgrade, pantech 295 usb modem for only 30.00. So if I have any more problems I'll just try that.  (It's still a wired, not wireless device, which I prefer.)

  • Is there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows? You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes.

    s there any way to get rid of this stupid feature in iTunes for Windows?
    You've subscribed to a podcast but have more than five unplayed episodes. iTunes will stop automatically downloading newer episodes. You may get the following message: 
    iTunes has stopped updating this podcast because you have not listened to any episodes recently. Would you like to resume updating this podcast?
    You can click Yes to continue downloading additional episodes. Or you can just listen to any part of any episode and a new episode will download at the next update.

    I believe that feature was added in order to reduce wasted costs to the Podcaster.
    Podcasts incur costs - that have to be paid for, by someone. That cost will be the cost of hosting the Podcast on a server somewhere and more crucially (with regard to your point), the cost of the Podcast being downloaded to your computer. Every download costs the Podcaster money (typically, charged by bytes downloaded).
    If that Podcaster pays for the whole thing personally, obviously they want to keep down any unnecessary cost to themselves. If the Podcaster is earning money for his or her Podcast (typically from advertising within the programme) then obviously, the advertiser only wants to pay for advertisements heard by listeners. So a download, not heard by the downloader, is waste of the Podcaster's money or no payment from the advertiser.
    My own experience is that I only have to resume downloading once per programme. I'm usually several episodes behind on two different Podcasts that I follow, but I do not recall having to repeat the resume Podcast after that first time.

  • Federal court website gives a .pl document which opens as garbage until we manually change it to .pdf, is there any way to get Firefox to do this automatically?

    I am using a Mac. When downloading a document from the federal court website using Firefox, we get a .pl document which opens as garbage (in TextEdit) until we manually change it to .pdf, which causes it to open just fine (in Preview). It used to work fine, giving a .pdf document every time, but apparently upgrades to Firefox have removed this functionality. As far as I can tell my computer, an iMac running Mac system OS X 10.10.1, does not recognize the .pl format. Is there any way to get Firefox to automatically convert a downloaded file from .pl format to .pdf format? My friend tells me that Google Chrome downloads these documents with no problem. I would prefer to stick with Firefox but I might have to change if every downloaded document is in an unreadable format.
    This is a typical example of what I get when I try to open a .pl document (the pdf version is a one page document using plain English):
    =====
    %PDF-1.5

    HI jlawrence1,
    Is it possible to associated the pl file mimetype with an application? [[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]

    You need to reload a compatible version from the iTunes library on your computer. If you didn't keep a copy of that, no.

  • Is there any way to get an application to load automatically on server start?

    We're trying to implement a load-balancing mechanism between FMS hosts in a virtual "farm".  The mechanism we're using is to have the FMSs periodically send "load" data (along with a timestamp) to an application server.  That server will then use that load information and timestamp to detect when an FMS server has gone down and to make stream assignments to FMSs.
    Right now, I've implemented this code via a setInterval() in live/main.asc.  I've added a "return false" to Application.onAppStop() to (according to the docs, I haven't tested this yet) keep the server from shutting down an idle instance.  So I've left with a "chicken and egg" issue: how do I get the interval running before the first request hits the application (and forces the load of the application)?  I've tried putting the setInterval in onAppStart() and as a global.  In both cases, it only gets executed after application is loaded.
    So, is there any way to force an application to load (via a config file parameter or local command-line)?

    Hi,
    I am sorry i have not read the full details what you wrote, but if you are looking for loading of application on start of the server, there is a configuration tag in application.xml called loadonstartup and by default it is set to false. Set it to true to enable it and all the apps will be loaded on server start.
    alternatively , you can make an application.xml inside the application folder and set this tag to true, to have this applied only to a particular application,
    Also, the fms admin console can launch a new instance of an app without any connection being made initially.
    Thank you !

  • Is there a way to get my iMac to restart automatically whenever it loses its WiFi connection?

    It loses the connection more often than I'd like, a problem that can be remedied with a restart. However, when I'm away, I'm obviously not able to do that. This has made accessing my computer remotely rather difficult. I've searched for a solution, but haven't found any.
    What I'm looking for is something I can activate before I leave that will restart the computer whenever it's dropped the connection or something that will restart the computer at regular intervals. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

    Sorry, but that doesn't help me. I already knew that function existed and I use it to shut down my computer at a set time every night and start up at a set time every morning. Unless I can somehow make it restart multiple times per day, it's not useful, but thank you for trying.

  • In new upgrade is there a way to get pics back on caller id

    In the new upgrade is there a way to get pics back on the caller ID when people call you or when you call our rather than just a plain black screen?

    No, it's a design change with 7.1 and - like it or not, it is what it is. I preferred the old design as well.

  • Is there a way of getting a "schedule view" in iCal on a mac and on iPad in the same way you can get one on iPhone?

    I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web.
    If you put your info into the computer and hand it to another, you have to assume they will copy everything.
    Why are you putting scanned copies of valuable identity information into a computer than can be hacked, stolen, lost or compromised by a dirty tech?
    Have you lost your mind?
    Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
    No. The tech would just deny it if he did, or tell the truth which the answer would be "NO" in either case.
    The employer won't ask that sort of questions without solid proof, less they make a enemy of the employee and/or risk being sued for defamation of character.
    It's not like they bother to have a team of people watching over his shoulder that he doesn't stick a USB thumb drive of your data into his pocket to take home.

    If it's iTunes music, it has your personal ID embedded into the song files. Most IT techs know this though.
    I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
    Too late now, all you can do is not worry about it.
    Take your personal info out of the machine and if you need it, burn cd/dvd copies, a few USB thumb drives, Iron Keys or self encrypting external storage drives with key and/or keypad.

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses. 

  • Is there a way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my iphone has been connected to?   My Bluetooth car speaker phone was recently stolen from my car and appears to be on Craigslist.

    Is there any way to get a log of the bluetooth devices my Iphone has been connected to?  I recenly had my Bluetooth Jabra stolen from my car and now a simliar one is on Craigslist.  I'd like to give my connection log to the police before I go and see if my Iphone recognizes the device in question.  Any way to get any type of bluetooth device connection log out of my iphone?

    Your contacts should still be on whatever program you sync your iphone to (i.e. Outlook, address book).
    The iphone is not a stand alone device. It is designed to be synced with a computer. If you have not been syncing with a compatible program, then you are out of luck. Your contacts are not included in the back-up because it is meant to be synced with your computer.
    "Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."
