Is this real? and is it planned to affect Broadba...

Changes to home phone calling plan prices in April 2010.
Daytime and Evening call period.
 From 1st April 2010 we will be changing the evening call period: currently from 6pm-6am, changing to 7pm-7am. As a result, calls made between 7pm and 7am will be charged at the evening rate. This change will affect all call types, including calls to mobiles, international numbers and 0845 and 0870 numbers. If you are on the Unlimited Evening & Weekend Plan, your inclusive calls will start at 7pm instead of 6pm.
Got an e-mail the other day including this, amongst other price rise / charging information changes.
We personally think it's a bit of a swizz as many people, especially the elderly, wait for the off peak hours before calling. Neither of our elderly parents would appreciate getting up to receive or make a call before 07:00 in the morning & as both them and the young grandchildren retire quite early in the evenings this will cost them a large percentage more to keep in touch.
So we were just wondering if it is genuine as it seems a "bit tight" of BT. & also...
If the mods can tell us if hours are planned to change for the included free VOIP calls as bundled with our internet package? (presently 6pm-6am also)
Thanks
Garry and Susie

Yes, it is genuine. BT's profit margins were down last year, so it's time to charge customers more for their phone calls. Since they have raised the price of phone calls recently, anyone making a call between 6 and 7pm gets hit twice.

  • Hi. I have an iPhone 4 and no data plan.  When I'm not connected to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but later when I do connect to wifi, I get them telling me they were sent earlier. I don't remember how long this has been happening.  Any Help?

    Hi. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS7 and no data plan. When I am not connect to wifi I don't receive iMessages, but then when I do connect to wifi I get the messages telling me they were sent earlier.  Is there any thing I can do to fix it?  I don't remember how long this has been happening but it is very frustrating. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!!!

    If you don't have a cellular data plan, then why are you expecting that you will have an active internet connection unless you are connected to wi-fi?
    iMessages require either wi-fi or a cellular data connection.

  • Can anyone explain this behavior and tell me how to fix it?

    Using NetBeans 6.5 on Windows, Glassfish v2.1
    I have a JSF application with a page that has a tab set.
    On one of the tabs I have a panel with company information.
    One of the components on the page is an InputText field with the value bound to a session bean variable.
    The tab also has an Add button.
    Here is what the JSP looks like for the input text and button components
       <h:inputText binding="#{MainPage.companyNameTF}" id="companyNameTF" readonly="#{SessionBean1.readOnlyFlag}"
       <h:commandButton action="#{MainPage.mainAddBtn_action}" disabled="#{SessionBean1.disableEdit}" id="mainAddBtn"
            style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; left: 425px; top: 380px; position: absolute; width: 75px" value="Add"/>
         This is all plain vanilla stuff and I would expect that when the Add button is pushed, the session bean property would be filled with
    the value entered in the input text field.
    In the java code for the page, I have a method to process the Add button push.
    Originally, it just called a method in the session bean to check that a value was entered in the input text field by checking the bound
    session bean property.
    For some reason, that was not getting filled and I was getting either a null or empty string rather than the value in the text field.
    I added some checking in the method that processes the Add button push so I could check the values in the debugger.
    Here is a sample of that code:
        public String mainAddBtn_action() {
            String s = sb1.getCompanyName();
            s = (String)this.companyNameTF.getValue();
            s = (String)this.companyNameTF.getSubmittedValue();I check this in the debugger and NONE of the variants that I have listed have the value that was entered into the text field.
    The submittedValue is null and the others are empty strings (that is what they were initalized to).
    This is all pertty straight forward stuff and I am at a loss to explain what is happening.
    Can anyone expain this behavior, and, most important, how can I force the values to be present when the Add button is pushed.
    I have never experienced this problem before, and have no clue what is causing it.
    Thanks.

    Basically, the component bindings are just being used in plain vanilla get/set modes.
    I set them to "" when I do a clear for the fields and they are set to a value via the text field.
    No other action other than to read the values via get to insert them into the database.
    And, I always use the get/set methods rather than just setting the value directly.
    This is what is so strange about this behavior - I have created dozens of database add/update/delete pages using this same model and have not had a problem with them - even in a tab context.
    Not a clue why this one is different.
    I did notice that I had an error on the page (in IE7, you get a small triangle warning sign when something is not right).
    I figured that might be the problem - maybe buggering up the rendering process.
    I tracked that down and do not get that anymore (it had to do with the PDF display I was trying to get working a while back), but that did not resolve the problem.
    I don't think there are any tab conflicts - none of the components are shared between tabs, but I will see what happens when I move a couple of the components out of the tab context.
    I noticed that it seems to skip a cycle. Here is what I can do.
    1) Fill in text fields and add a record - works fine the first time.
    2) Clear the text fields
    3) Enter new data in the text fields and push Add
    4) I get an error saying fields are blank from my data check process.
    5) Enter new data and push Add - the record is added with the new data.
    My work around is to not enter data in step 3 and just accept the error message in step 4, then go ahead and enter the real data in step 5.
    Very ugly, but it works every time.

  • I hate this Thunderbolt and I can't take it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm a POWER phone user (but I don't root or jailbreak). If I want to watch a Youtube vid, it had better come up. If I want to sream a radio station, it had better buffer and play, when I want to check something out on a website, it had better come up for me. Otherwise, why not just buy a basic phone? I can do all this other stuff from home. But I don't have TIME at home. I only have time when I'm out and about. So...if my phone doesn't live up to the hype, It just makes me all the more angry. 
    This Thunderbolt reboots all the time AND loses it's data connection, even after the update. I'm hoping Gingerbread OTA comes out today as planned.
    But I have a theory as to why this is happening. 
    I think It has something to do with the networks and Andriod and isn't specific to VZW or the Tbolt. My buddy now lives in a 4G market and never has any issues. He's with Sprint and has their Droid X equivilant. His phone will rarely and only reboot when he's in this area (Kokomo, IN) and he just got Gingerbread and says it really improved battery life. 
    I drive 30miles one way to work. There are many routes I can take, but they are all rural. Kokomo is a hodge podge of crap networks. We're 3G, EV, 1x, etc. So nothing lasts long when driving as you'll drift in and out of the various networks all the time. And my phone will almost always reboot when I'm driving, and with no rhyme or reason, consistancy, etc. If it doesn't reboot (which I'm convinced isn't a heat issue either), it will at least lose it's data connectivity. Sometimes It comes back on, but most of the time I have to pull the battery. In the Driod forum, many others have said the same thing, and that a refurb replacement didn't help. So, I don't think it's the phone, but rather how Android handles networks.
    I haven't checked... but do other Android phones reboot and lose data like mad? I was surprised when my non-VZW buddy told me his Droid X w/ Sprint rebooted yesterday. For a period of time after the last update, my data connection was fine, but rebooting startedh happening all the time. I don't think my phone rebooted once prior to the last update. My iPhone friends never talk about any of these issues... or any issues to be honest.
    Which brings me to this... I was so excited to get this phone. It was my first Droid phone and I chose it over the iPhone only because I had plans on getting an iPad 2. I already have an iPod Touch. So I am stacked full of app's. If I'm in a 4G area, (which is hardly ever), the phone seem to peform fine. I came from a Blackberry Tour 9630, which I thought was the worst phone ever. But this one is JUST as bad, and one of the worst decisions I've made in a long time. I love many things about Andriod and this phone, but I spend more time in forums looking for solutions, (while holding back the desire to smash the phone to bits), than I do using it. I basically dream even using the phone anymore because it will always infuriate me at some point. One more ill-timed reboot is going to make me snap (It's not like my Blackberry, but not exaclty a fast booter either!).
    And what stinks is that I'm stuck with it until the end of 2012! Plus, I've invested in an extended life battey and a skin. It's annoying how few aftermarket products are avail for this phone to be honest. Battery life is dreadful, so an extened battery is a must. God forbid Otterbox release a case that fits an ext life battery too. It's not going to happen. So, I'm stuck wiith skins, which is fine.
    Also, the charge jack is located in the DUMBEST spot ever. Do you think I'll ever see a good cradle that allows me to watch movies or whatever in landscape mose while charging? I bet not. Yes, I know they make some, but none are any good. I quite simpley I hate this phone and regret buying it. I've been with Verizon for a LOOOONG time too. 
    I went to the local store, and they are all really cool and nice, but acted like I was supposed to live w/ the reboots and loss of data. Someone there always grabs the phone and checks it out, making sure the settings are correct, and hands it back. I want a phone that works!!! God forbid they let me get a different phone. I'll even pay my insurance ded of $99 to get out of this phone.
    If I call tech support, they are going to want to do my SECOND hard reset, which is a pain to get up and running again. My gmail addy book is dialed in, so I'm good there. But a hard reset won't work, because it doesn't work for anyone else. A refurb phone will do the same thing, and so will a new. Besides, I bet half of those refurbed phones are from rebooting problems anyway! If I march down to the VZW store, they'll tell me to wait till the OTA update hits to see if that works, which it might. But I've read that people who have rooted their phones and got the update say it's better, but still has some issues and quirks. I've been trying all day to get the update, but I bet that they haven't even released it. I need to check. Last time I got an OTA update, I had to get it in the middle of the night.
    My point is.... i'm in cell h--- in this area. We are a 3G city, but if you go any direction out of the city, you start getting into to Centennial Wireless territory, and they are a giant thorn in the side to all major cell companies. They won't let go of a particular area and because of it, Kokomo will likely have ghetto 4G. At least for me, because I'll be far away from the tower. Plus, I live on the south edge of town. So, as I travel south to Indy, I'll have weak 4G, and then get into North Indy's weak 4G until I get closer to the city. Then it's FAST!! Good 4G service is unreal. I'm just regurgitating what a VZW rep told me. I'm just repeating it all back with some "hatred" mixed in.
    So, I don't know what to do. Call Tech Support? Beg for a refurb that likely won't work? I could file an insurance claim since I have a legit reason. Sweat got under the display and won't go away. It's not bad, but it's not perfect. The people at the VZW store told me that I really need to get a Bluetooth headset, esp if I sweat a lot. I also put the phone in the crook of my neck a lot and talk while working. This almost always hangs up the call. Very irritating!!
    They also told me at the store that if I go thru Insurance and pay my $99 ded, I MAY have a chance to talk them into letting me get a different phone of equal or more value but i'll have to really sell the idea. And if so, I'm going iPhone 4. Period. I don't think it's necc better than my Tbolt, but it's reliable, I have tons of app's for it already, and I'm a Mac user anyway. It just makes sense. Otherwise, there is NO CHANCE i'll be able to talk VZW into getting me out of this phone, even though none of these issues were present while I had the return policy. Only after did it start to do all of these weird things.
    It sounds like I'm complaining about the Tbolt just to get the iPhone and I'm not. I'm upset because using my phone is a horrible experience as it's either slow, has a horrible connection most of the time when I'm driving, and is only useful on Wifi. Maybe a different phone will be no better and I'm just cursed to live in a bad market? VZW was supposed to the be the best though, so switching probl won't help me.
    Not sure what to do exactly... so I will probl wait to see if anyone has any suggestions. I hate to be so negative, but I'm likely SOL, and that's really sad. VZW has been very good to me over the years, but i don't see how this will end well for me.

    You know something ironic? I tried to respond to this using my Thunderbolt and the stock browser, and I couldn't type anything in this box! HA!! I'm doing this from the web.
    Anyway, doing the *#*#4636#*#* thing did the trick. I'm now running CDMA (PRL), and only have had one reboot in two days. Usually I would have like 10. This totally confirms that it's something with the brains of the Tbolt that can't handle hand-off's on non-4G networks. In fact, in the past my phone would be in 3G mode, then when a 1x handoff needed to happen, my phone would either not hand off to 1x at all, or it would simply LOSE it's data connection. I watched my signal on my trip home yesterday, and it would easily switch in and out of 3G and 1X. As I said, I'm in "cell hell" here, so I bet I change from 1x to 3G at least 4 times in a 30 mile radius either direction.
    So, for VZW store employees to tell people we'll be 4G before the end of year, is just a ploy to cell the new phones. Even if Kokomo goes 4G, it's only good if you never leave town! If half the state is still 1X, then what hope is there that most places will be 4G?
    I don't understand, outside of sheer cost, what the problem is making 1x Towers 3G or 4G capable? Are these towers privately owned? Is it up to the owner to fork over the money? Why would they do that for the convenience of minority 4G users if 1X and 3G works "Ok"? It should be manditory. And there are towers ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, so I can only imagine the expense involved. But still, these companies have a responsibility to stay current. Otherwise, someone else will come along with a totally dialed in network and they'll lose business. I'm starting to think VZW is getting so big so fast that they can't keep up.
    verizon has the largest network. they have the fastest network. what more can they do? yes, they focus on major markets, but that's because that is where they make money. they aren't a public utility. they are a for profit corporation. their coverage speaks for itself. they pay WAY more attention to the rural areas than any other carrier.....but it's just bad business to throw ten towers in a spread out rural area that will cover a few thousand people....when they can use 9 of those towers in an area that will cover 200,000 people. their LTE network is 10 times faster than sprint's "4g" and they are banking on domintaing the market with it, just like they did with 3g. keep in mind that they launched the first LTE areas only 6 months ago and this is still very new technology.
    for the record though, i mostly keep mine in 3g right now, as it is much better on my battery. i switch it to 4g if i'm not near wifi and want to browse or download something. i'm in a strong LTE network and i do believe this LTE network will blow the other carriers out of the water. my 3g incredible speed tests at the same rate as my friends' EVO's on sprint's "4g" netowrk. (just under 2 mbps). no reboots, but i didn't install they update back in may.

  • Diff: Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3

    Group,
    Can any one help me to understand the Version on workflow builder and Maintain Active Plan version on SWU3
    Thanks in advance !
    Richard A

    Dear Richard Antony,
    The Versioning in the Workflow is very important its some what simmilar to the version on any SAP Objets like Tables, Program etc.
    Here Suppose any change comes in working workflow, then in stead of directly change them you can create a version of them and them modify it. So that you can reverst back to that version if required.
    Like wise there is lots of importance of versioning Workflow.
    The Active Plan version is also important to establish at SWU3. As all the Workflow is using Organization management which is very depended on the Active Plan version. so based on which Plan version you want to use you can Provide in SWU3 to tell Workflow system to use this.
    Hope this will give you a clear picture.
    Regards,
    Chandrashekhar.

    In this I wanted to change the email address in icloud so that I no longer get his emails from his contacts, friends, etc.  I made an alias but is there anyway to delete this icloud email address and use another or will this delete all of our data?
    New at this icloud and its real cool but afraid to lose all my information.

    Deleting the account from the phone will do only that! it won't affect any other information on any other device.

  • Can Time Capsule be used as a time machine on a Windows Server.  Is this possible, and how do i configure this?

    I like to use the new TC in my office as a time machine on a Windows Server.  Is this possible, and how do i configure this?
    In fact my plan is to make the first back up by connecting to the server via an ethernet cable, but thereafter i like to bring the TC to my home and perform the incremental backups over the internet.  This is for safety reasons, in case for example the office is broken into, or flooded, or fire (god forbid).
    I sincerely hope it is possible, and not complicated.
    Alternatively i would not mind replacing our current Windows server 2003 with an Apple server, but all computers in the network (except mine) are Windows 7 or 8. Would it work?
    Thanks in advance.
    Paris

    I will consider the WD My Cloud device.
    It is a NAS.. it is designed to provide a cheap centralised file storage.
    What is NAS?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage
    A file server like windows uses heaps of power to do very little.. in your setup.. In most setups like SBS it will do exchange server and provide a heap of useful connectivity to your clients.
    Since you are not using the windows server in anything but simple file serving you can replace with a NAS..
    Problem with the TC is, it is a router with a hard disk inside.. designed specifically for Time Machine.. it fails to provide what a NAS does.. easy access to any clients, local or remote.. TC is designed by apple for apple and the rest of world is not really invited to the party.
    It provides no backup.. no data protection.. and is so specifically apple orientated I do not think it works at all well with windows.
    For a simple example.. windows will have file issues with large files.. because it is only NTserver FAT32 to windows.. bad luck if you have large files.. !!
    Plainly if you use active directory in windows that facility is gone.
    I just like Apple products, find them more stable than Windows and easier to use.  Plus i can access the server from home if it is an Apple Server.
    If you only need remote access for yourself that is fine.. too bad for the windows clients I guess.
    Or you open it up to the world and bad luck for security.
    Apple do not design for mixed environment.. in fact with the TC there is no provision for windows access officially at all.. so anything you do is a fudge.
    You can use the TC for your Mac backups within the network.. that is fine. Apple provide no software at all to help with your windows clients.

  • I installed Lion this week and my life is over ..

    when I try to use PowerPoint in Lion for inserting a file into the presentation it now crashes.  how do i fix this?
    when I try to charge my iPhone in Lion it does not charge and its not the cable, it works for itunes.  how do I fix this?
    and I NOTE THAT I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A JOB HUNT AND LION IS A BIG PROBLEM HERE as the iphone is needed.  the cable that came with the iphone that I purchased all together in box, was shredded in about 3 months of normal use, first, the tiny white rubber piece at the end of the wire  (almost immediately), split in middle, then the whole wire covering started to slide out from the little split part, and next the wires started to slide out, and one came loose - all very dangerous, I could have been electrocuted by the bare wires ..... since I needed a new charger cable immediately to use the iphone, and purchased a new USB charger locally, so I wouldn't get electrocuted I did not even bother to contact APPLE to complain or ask for a new one and handled it myself and used my new cable for about 3 years until today when it is suddenly incompatible, not supported even though it is in perfect condition.
    (in addition the original headphones had the same problem, and those were replaced under the warranty still in effect at the time). 
    My son who is also on my iphone plan, is mad about other iPhone compatibility issues I wont get into here, tells me to get us ANDROIDs and stop using Apple.  He says this is intentional as they dont want me to use non-APPLE products and that, that is why my charger cable stopped working after i installed Lion ...... IS THIS TRUE?   
    ALSO - When I try to use PhotoShop nnow it does not even open.  how do i fix this?
    As I am stuck with my MAC, I have no way to get a new computer, software, or new phone package - not rich
    AND
    I am SO MAD THAT I INSTALLED AND PURCHASED LION, can any of this be fixed????
    Thanks

    With regard to PowerPoint, what version of MS Office do you have?  Is it crashing, or refusing to open?  If the latter, and you're seeing a message about not being able to open PowerPC software, you need to upgrade MS Office.  The same applies to Photoshop.
    Sounds like there's something wrong with your system.  What that might be, I don't know, but you can try some of the suggestions in Understanding upgrade nightmares.  (Note that my pages contain links to other pages that promote my services, and this should not be taken as an endorsement of my services by Apple.)
    Your son's comments are - no offense - nonsense.  MS Office works just fine with Lion, as long as you have a version newer than 2004.  Recent enough versions of Photoshop should also work just fine.  Apple does not have a problem with you using non-Apple software or hardware.  If they did, they would quickly go out of business.
    If you cannot afford to upgrade your software, you'll need to downgrade to Snow Leopard.  See here for instructions:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3525616
    Note that in the future you should check compatibility of all your hardware and software with any new system before upgrading, and you should never upgrade at a time when having your computer accessible is critical.  Things can always go wrong when upgrading to any new system.

    Optical Drive
    NVIDIA K2100m
    Fingerprint reader, no NFC
    Intel Wireless AC 7260
    WIndows 8.1 Pro
    I have a few questions about this process and the computer in general:
    Some review sites say that the primary hard drive must be mounted in a proprietary plastic piece that is unavailable for separate purchase. Can this be removed from the OEM HDD and attached to a third-party SSD? I have a Samsung 840 EVO.
    When installing Windows, is there a difference between creating recovery media from the original HDD and recovering to the SSD versus simply installing Windows 8.1 from the ISO and downloading drivers from the Lenovo support site? Note that I do not want any junkware that comes with the computer. Only the Lenovo software/drivers that are required for the hardware to function optimally.
    I have heard some things about MBR and GPT when using UEFI, but I have no idea what it means. The SSD that I will install is currently in use in my T510, and it is running Windows 8.1 Pro. I believe it is formatted as MBR. Do I have to do anything special with this? Will all partitions be erased?
    I have never owned an Optimus laptop before. Currently using a non-Optimus T510, and I just download the latest drivers from NVIDIA's website. With Optimus, where do I get my drivers? Do I only install the driver from the Lenovo site? Do I download the drivers from Intel and NVIDIA? Is it possible to force all GPU activity on either GPU and completely disable the other?
    Are special drivers required for the USB 3.0 ports to work at maximum speed?
    Is it possible to use my current 90 W adapter for my T510 with the W540 with an adapter cable? I know that this should limit performance, but it would be helpful when traveling.
    About how long does the battery last while web browsing and the CPU set to minimum performance?
    What is the largest capacity M.2 SSD that will fit in this laptop?
    If I want to add more RAM in the future, which 2 x 4 GB kits are compatible with what I already have?
    W540: i7-4700mq, K2100m, 8 GB DDR3L, 512 GB SSD
    T510: i7-620m, NVS 3100m, 8 GB DDR3, 512 GB SSD

    UEFI (unified extensible firmware interface) boot requires Global unique identifier Partition Table (GPT) as opposed to the older Master Boot Record (MBR). If your existing drive is formatted in MBR, you will need to adjust BIOS settings to enable legacy boot in order for it to work properly.
    Is there a performance difference between GPT and MBR? If GPT is better, I do not mind formatting the drive with it.
    5. No special drivers are needed.
    Thanks. What about the thunderbolt port?
    7. I think Lenovo estimates 6 hours.
    Lenovo says 6 hours with the 6-cell battery on its website.

    Hi,
    There was a serious BIOS/UEFI problem with that SSD . Perhaps this thread will save you some headaches. Someone is recomending shutting off Rapid Boot in the setup, which would probable mean little with a SSD, anyway.
    I read through this, and it looks like the problem was fixed in a BIOS update, which I plan to do. However, it also seems like Intel Rapid Start is not even worth it in the first place, as sleep consumes almost no power at all.
