Is there any valid reason why Wifi calling is not enabled and we have to wait until mid 2015?

It seems like it shouldn't have anything to do with the carrier since its completely off their network. It is a feature and function of the device. I've been living in a dead zone for over a year and was excited to hear Wifi calling was coming with the iOS 8 update. After updating today I found out that Verizon has no plans to enable a feature that Apple has made available now until mid 2015. According to the CFO Fran Shammo, "We built our voice platform so extensively [that] there was never a need for us to tell our customers, 'Oh, our network is not good enough so you need to go on Wi-Fi to complete your call." I know I'm not alone here in an area not covered by Verizon and as tempting as it is to buy their $250 network extender I'd much rather use a FREE alternative that is available NOW and has NO BEARING ON VERIZON'S SPOTTY NETWORK that I have the misfortune of living in.

Would love to have every carrier offer coverage everywhere. Verizon may be the best nationwide, but they don't cover everywhere. When I travel WiFi calling works great in places with little to no coverage no matter what carrier I was using. I end up using my T-Mobile lines when I travel to those locations.
I find places that don't have Verizon coverage tend to be the same areas that don't have broadband internet which renders wi-fi calling moot. Yes there are areas in my county that have poor or no service. As I aid these places do not have broadband internet either. So what good is wi-fi calling to them?
As far as T-Mobile I'd have to drive 70 miles just to get to a 4G area and over 40 miles to even get to an area that provides T-Mobile edge. Now if I'm using wi-fi for both calling and data then what am I paying T-Mobile for?

Is there any particular reason why Firefox is running crappy this weekend?? I also have Google Chrome and that is running great.

Firefox has been running very slow, sluggish, and freezes up since Friday of this weekend. Is there any particular reason why? I also have Google Chrome and that is working fine.

There was a reason why I don't use IE and you just copied it??????

I have always liked FIREFOX for it's speed and it simply was always the best browser. Not too long ago I tried IE 9 beta and I hated it as it was confusing. My nine year old also hated it. So I emailed Microsoft and got a response that it was to maximise screen size. I simly uninstalled it. Today I got Firefox 4 beta 8. After trying it I also uninstalled it. Looks like a IE clone and like IE I found it hard to find anything. My only real question is WHY????????????????

What don't you like about the Firefox 4 beta?
You can remove the orange Firefox button and enable the menu bar if you press the F10 key and place a checkmark on View > Toolbars > Menu Bar if that is what you mean.
You can remove the checkmark on "Tabs on Top" to place the Tab bar at its old position.

Imported picture from clipart on excel and now there is a colorful spinning image that will not stop and I have not saved my work

I need the wheel to stop spinning and get back to being able to do my work. With all of my previous data, because I did not "save" most of the data.

We have all made that mistake....
It sounds as though you are going to have to Force Quit Excel, and anything you haven't saved will have to be redone.
You might want to check to make sure that you have Auto Recover checked, and also have it set for the number of minutes you feel comfortable with. Under Excel>Preferences>Save
Best of luck,

I am using final cut express 4. It seems that any clip over a certain length, say 5 min, does not fully transfer! All shorter clips are perfectly fine. Is there some reason why longer clips are not fully transferred? (a half blue circle shows up on the transfer list, indicating that the clip was not fully transferred. When I check in the capture scratch folder, sure enough the whole clip is not there!
Is there some glitch in final cut express that only allows short clips to be transferred in full?

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to answer all the questions (I am a relative novice). Your help is appreciated.
By the way, the other reply I received suggested the following:
In Final Cut Express>System Settings>Scratch Discs make sure the Limit Capture/Export File Segement Size To: is not checked.
I did this and it was already unchecked. So this is not the answer...
The strange thing is, I have been logging and transferring with FCE for 2 yrs without any problems at all with shorter clips, but have come up against the problem with long clips (over 5 or so min) the whole time. I got around it by simply making sure I stopped recording after less than 5 min while shooting footage. OR if I accidentally got a long clip, I import into imovie and then import into FCE. Not very streamline and I worry about compressions altering quality!
I am now trying to import a 20 min and a 17 min clip and it only transfers around 3 minutes of each, I have re-tried several times and it happens repeatedly. The blue circle in the transfer list shows up as a half blue circle instead of full. Clip cuts off after 3 or so minutes.

Is there a technical reason why I can't sync both my iCloud and Yahoo/Gmail contacts at once?

Is there a technical reason why I can't sync both my iCloud and Yahoo/Gmail contacts at once? I would like to be able to sync between all three services.

Definetely not. It's as simple as maintaining a single database and use it for iCloud, Google, Yahoo or any other... like it was earlier. It's just Apple being barbaric in their strategy to restrict use of competing devices and services.

Is there any practical reason to use DB helper class?

Is there any practical reason to use database helper class ( e.g. database.bookDB in Duke's bookstore)in servlet design? What if I setup a DB connection for every servlet?

to ken_robinson
I am currently setup DataSurece in servlet init().Usually (I know WebLogic is this way), if you configure the DataSource through the app server's configuration app, it is available to all applications.
The most efficient way to look up the DataSource in a particular app is have a ServletContextListener lookup the DataSource from JNDI and set it in the Context as an Attribute. Each servlet would then, in it's init() method, get the DataSource from the ServletContext (faster than using JNDI for each Servlet. The ServletContextListener requires the container you are running in support the 2.3 spec. If it does not, simply use a startup servlet (servlet that is loaded when the app is loaded) and do the same thing.

Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays ?

Is there a specific reason why apple did not incorporate hdmi into the thunderbolt displays and the new imacs? Everything on the market uses hdmi...they then add one to the new macbook pros, but none on the displays. Is there a reason?

These are User to User support Forums where we all help each other. No one from Apple replies here. Obviously we have no way of knowing why Apple does or doesn't choose to do something.

Does apple have any explanations for why iCloud will not support iWeb & is there any viable solutions. iWeb is critical to my small business & we have all been trained via joint ventue on iWeb. Now it just goes away. Why?

I appreciate your repsonse, but the irony is that Apple is still scheduling "One-to-One" & Joint Venture training on iWeb knowing that it all will end next June. ..
Just to add this : iWeb -- the app itself -- is still supported,updated only months ago and as part of the ilife '11 DVDs still widely spread even though it is not sold on the AppStore it is official part of iLife. It runs in Lion and there is zero issues with the app. So a training makes sense, doesn't it ?.
They would only to exclude the "publish to me.com" part to be up to date for courses and trainings :-≠

thanks in advanceTake whatever you need out of the getter method(s) and put it in the constructor method of your bean. Then it only get called once. The getter method should only return the value and nothing else i.e. no database calls, calculations or anything else.
Off topic, perhaps a sticky thread for this topic should be created as I see it being asked numerous times in the last four months.

Is there any app to activate diverted call notifications

Depending on what sites you are trying to access, you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are out of luck if you want to play on-line, but again some of them have app versions in the store.

After that I go to archive log directory "/u02/oracle/uat/uatdb/9.2.0/dbs" and use ls -lt command to see how many archive logs and my screen just hang. After we found out that we cannot use ls -lt command to read arch1_171.dbf
archive log, the rest of archive logs able to use ls -lt command.
We cannot delete this file as well. We shutdown database abort and perform check disk...... and fix the disk error and then open database again. Everything seems back to normal and we can use ls -lt command to read arch1_171.dbf.
The strange problem is we have the same problem in Development and Production..... one ore more archive logs seems to be corrupted under the same directories /u02/oracle/uat/uatdb/9.2.0/dbs.
Does anyone encounter the same problem?

Reasons why the E72 is NOT a 'smartphone'

Contrary to what Nokia says in its marketing blurb and what the dealer claims, the Nokia E72 (and by inference, others in its ilk) is NOT a 'smartphone' by any stretch of the mind. Yes, the E72 (and its predecessor the E71 and to a lesser extent the E63) are designs of beauty, good form factor, full QWERTY keyboard, brilliant screen, good camera and wonderful media compatibility features. But a 'smartphone' is more. The following are some reasons (having owned - and regretted big time - an E72 for the past 2 weeks:
1. Top of my complaints list is the fact that the E72 does not have a good desktop suite. The Nokia PC Suite that it ships with is a poor substitute. For one, it merely allows the phone's contents to be viewed on a PC screen; it does not allow for the phone's data to be viewed or manipulated offline. What this means is that the E72 must be connected to the PC for you to be able to see the contents. What a 'smartphone' needs is the ability for its desktop suite software to be able to be used even when the phone is not connected to the PC (ie offline). This requires a full copy of the phone's data to be stored on the PC and one is able to view, change, edit, etc this data.
Reasons why one wold want to work offline on the PC are many. Firstly, it lets you edit the data on the PC (much easier to work on a full PC than on an E72). You can input all your contacts data, etc on the PC then sync to the phone. Similarly, other data (such as diary events, notes, etc can be authored on a PC and then uploaded on to the E72. Additionally, one can use the PC Suite software as your main PIM (personal info management) software. But I suppose Nokia doesn't want people to be able to do that. What a shame, if that's what the modern day executive needs then he'll just go elsewhere.
Another reason why the PC Suite software should allow full data manipulation is ... what if your phone is lost, how would you access all your info (contacts, calendar events, memos, notes, etc)? Even if you have a daily backup, the Nokia user would actually need to acquire another phone (similar model or equivalent) and then do a restore. Until then, the backup file is of no use (because it cannot be viewed or manipulated). Such backup strategies (in proprietary flat files) are from the dark ages of computer technology! Nokia still believes it is cutting edge!
2. Nokia's PC Suite software is a joke. Not only does it require that the phone is connected to the PC for it to work, it actually handles data quite differently from the way the phone itself handles the same data! You can change the fields on the phone but not on the PC Suite, eg you can edit the field on the phone from "Mobile" to "Mobile 1", you can create a new field called "Mobile 2" but on the PC Suite, all you get is the standard "Mobile" and the second mobile field you create is not found! Wow, what synchronisation!
3. On the phone itself, a true 'smartphone' gives its user a multitude of options to do things his/her own way. In calendar events mode, I may want to set alarms 15mins before or 30 mins after! The E72 only allows before, that too only with a set of predetermined figures - ie I cannot set an alarm 23 mins before.
For some events, I may want to repeat the event and its related alarm on a weekly, monthly or annual basis. A professor may want to set a weekly alarm (starting from week 1 of the semester to week 14 of the semesster) for his lectures. Another person may want to set an alarm on a certain day of the month for his loan repayment to the bank. The Nokia allows you to set an annual anniversary alarm only. I cannot set an alarm for an event 3 days ahead (say, to give me advance notice to buy a present for a loved one!)
When editing calendar events, if you change a field but then decide to not keep the new figure, there is no option to cancel. Only the DONE button is present. You have to save (done) then re-edit the field. Silly.
Similarly the Snooze buttin ought to give the user flexibility to put the alarm off for any set of time. The phone may remind me of an upcoming event say 4 hours beforehand, I then need to put if off (snooze) for say an hour before it reminds me again. That's what a 'smartphone' does, remind you politely like an english butler!
4. The synchronising cable that Nokia ships with the E72 is another joke - its no longer than 6 inches long. Coupled with the requirement that the phone must be hooked up to the PC when doing any work on the PC Suite (see items 1 & 2 above), what if there is an incoming call? How do you answer the call with a 6 inche cable connecting the phone to the PC? Sure Nokia want's to make savings, but it should be practical.
The above are the main grouses that I have with the E72. As any reader can aappreciate, they are all related to the software side of the phone. At the moment - and with my unit being still new - I have not come across any issues related to the build quality. Yes the design of the battery cover seem flimsy. Its ok so far but I can see its not going to last that way for very long. Yes there is a bit of light leak directly under the Home key but I can live with it. The rear battery cover smudges easily and is a pain to keep clean, but hey, you can't have it all good.
But as far as the software side is concerned, yes, I do expect it to perform well in handling my data. We live in a modern world where most of us have an information overload in our daily lives. That's why we look forward to a 'business smartphone' - a device that is better than a personal assistant and one I can carry in my pocket. But when we have major global corporations such as Nokia promising you an 'advanced business smartphone' that actually falls three steps short, then I believe the public is being cheated for good.
I hope other readers would read this post and are better informed about what kind of device they'd be getting should they decide to purchase an E72. I also realise that Nokia may decide to edit (or even delete entirely) this post, but hey, if that happens, then I'd be promptem to post a copy of this review in a dozen other public forums.
Have a great day!
There ought to be laws out there on the use of the term 'smartphone'

You are correct, well done - it is my view.
But no, I am disabled and don't work for anyone, but I was a programming consultant.
If I'm buying or bought anything in the past such as an E71 or E72 then I make sure it can do what I need it to before hand. The E71 surpassed my requirements.
Mine came with a USB cable over a meter long, however I use bluetooth and need to do nothing - if my PC is on it knows my phone is there and visa versa without me doing anything (smart!).
The phone can access any of my PC files I require using the phone even when I am out and the PC is switched off. The phone tells me which bus stops to get off at and which way to go when I do. The phone can manage all my calls right down to tailoring for specific numbers and depending on my GPS location do different things. I can automatically order my repeat prescriptions from anywhere and watch live TV or stream my favourite radio stations wherever I am. I can use msn or any messenger, wherever I am - I could go on and on - my phone is definitely 'smart'.
Ovi is similar to PC suite but much more. You can sync contacts with the ovi server and then access them from any PC. I don't need that functionality so I don't know it very well but I have used it a few times. Ovi is Nokia's mobile web service, go to 'my nokia' to find out, its not difficult.
I have no need to read your post again, none of what you said justifies the heading you gave this thread.
If your beloved Palm is so great then go buy another one, why would we be bothered about them in this thread.
Bottom line is this, you have NOT given any good reasons why the E72 (or any E series phone) 'is NOT a smartphone'. What you believe we think about what is excellent is irrelevant.
