Lack of localization features in Australia!

It would be great if Apple could update the localization settings for Australian iPhones. The number formatting is wrong. First off - it comes with US formatting by default. If switched to "Australia" under International preferences, instead of reconfiguring formats to suit the standard XXXX-XXX-XXX or (XX) XXXX XXXX instead just places the digits in a long line e.g XXXXXXXXXX.
Also, an issue that users all over the world would love - since there are many languages spoken in the world, it's not too much to ask to allow the option to disable auto-correction on text input. Really.
<Edited by Moderator>

You're right, but when you punch in a number to make a local call, you never need to use +61 anyway. You'd just type 04XX XXX XXX. US formatting is done correctly - when you type in a row of digits (with no country code) iPhone automatically configures it like (XXX) XXX XXXX. Every region should have correct formatting.

About the iPhone and it's "lack of basic features"

There are SO MANY rants going on in this discussing board about the iPhone lacking "basic features" of a cellphone. Here is my response to all of them at once. (I know this has nothing to do with user-to-user technical support, but the topic is discussed on here enough to warrant this post.)
Sure, I would like to be able to send texts messages to multiple contacts, I would love to be able to add my own ringtones, copy and paste, and picture message. Here's the deal, Apple didn't set out to create a product with those features, they didn't set out to create a product that is like all the others or that has all the best features that every other phone has. They started over. They didn't compare it to any other phone. They have said over and over that the iPhone is a completely new product from the ground up. Sure it includes some features that can be found in phones that came before it, but it's all done in a new way. It's not some super phone that combines the best of every smartphone out there. They were very open about this and listed EVERYTHING the phone was going to be capable of. No, they didn't tell you the things that it wouldn't do, that's not the angle they were taking when designing and marketing this product, no one does that. The iPhone does everything they said it would do and does it better than any other phone that has the same features. So how can anyone come on here a gripe about it lacking basic features? The features I listed above are features that someone else reading this may never need or want. Basic features to you are not going to be basic features to me. Basic features 3 years ago are not basic features today nor will they be in 3 years. There are no basic features when it comes to the iPhone, other then perhaps the phone part. When you set out to create a product from the ground up, you don't start with a list of features that need to be included. You start with a blank slate and build on that, from your own ideas, your own technology, not based on what anyone else is doing or what has been done in the past. This is what Apple has done, and they have been very clear about it from day one. So please, if you feel that the iPhone lacks the "basic features" on a cell phone, take it back so that someone else can have that phone and enjoy its "basic features," that are like no other phone before it.

Your posting should have went to the Apple.com feedback section instead of posting it here in the user to user forum, this goes back to doing research on what the iphone can and cannot do before making the purchase you have to remember this is just the first generation iphone just like there was a first generation ipod most likely they'll be enhancements coming up for the iphone i myself am happy with my iphone, how many cell phones out there have visual voicemail?

My complaints about VZW's lack of good "feature" phones

In an effort to save on my wireless bill (college kids have to do that) I have moved from my beloved LG Ally to a KIN TWOm. Upon seeing the selection of "feature" phones that VZW offers, I was left with an empty feeling. Verizon has to have the worst selection of "feature" or "quick messaging" phones in the business. Gone are the glory days of the ENv Touch, Rogue, Chocolate Touch (piece of crap really), and Reality (still found in some stores). Now we (the customer) are stuck with offerings like the Cosmos Touch and the Pantech Crux as well as the KINs. As far as the Cosmos and Crux is concerned, they are far from enticing. So is the once overly hyped KIN series the only appealing decives they offer for those looking to save? Looks that way.
Let's take a look at what competitors like ATT and T Mobile have to offer (I use them as they are now, technically, "bigger" than VZW). ATT has a spectacular selection within their "quick messaging" phones. Some of those that shine brightest are the LG Vu Plus, Samsung Eternity II, Samsung Solstice, HTC Freestyle, and the Pantech Laser (among others). All of these phones offer a
resistive touch screen or better, as well as, at the least, a 2mp camera. All of them also come with some type of social network integration. The Samsung also include an intuitive display that allows you to place widgets on up to three homescreens. The Freestyle provides a smartphone experience without the data package price, and the Laser is acclaimed as the thinnest sliding phone ever.
T Mobile has the Samsung Gravity T, t249, t359 and Nokia Nuron (these stick out to me most). The t249 and t359 aren't touch screen phones, but they have clean interfaces and social networking integration. The Gravity has a 2mp camera, good color choices, and a great OS. The Nuron isn't the greatest phone, but it offers a capacitive touchscreen and a good user experience. Even though T Mobile's selection isn't as good as ATT's, it trounces VZWs'.
If you don't have the pleasure of choosing from great selections (those of ATT and T Mobile) then like most, if not all of us here, you are stuck between choosing a flip phone dating back at least four years (Accolade), one approved by military standards (Ravine, Brigade, Barrage, etc...) or one of the touchscreen "feature" phones VZW offers. The Cosmos Touch, Crux or KIN ONEm or KIN TWOm. What is so bad about these phones? Well, I can't say too much is wrong with the KINs, aside from them carrying a half-baked OS (the potential these phones had was astoundingly lost in bad marketing and under development). The Crux on the other-hand is a pain to use. Considering its unresponsive touch screen, and sluggish performance it makes for a terrible user experience. This leaves the Cosmos Touch-it is no ENv Touch. It lacks a good camera, no way to record video, and a bad screen resolution.
The way I see it is that the only decent "feature" phones VZW offers are the KINs ONEm and TWOm. They are equipped with WiFi, 5 and 8mp cameras (respectively) capacitive touchscreens, and a decent web browser. These are features that ATT and T Mobile do not offer on their "quick messaging" phones (1 point for VZW). Too bad they only come with a stripped OS (no more LOOP or KIN SPOT) because these features were too "data heavy" and, in all honesty, made them too much like smartphones. Nor do they include Backup Assist support, or any access to the VZW apps (really not a big deal anyway). At least when using a KIN you aren't bombarded with VZW marketing and logos.
Before I settled on the KIN TWOm I checked to see if I could get my hands on a Samsung Rogue (re-certified). The only way I could only get it is to pay $159. For a re-certified phone? I don't think so. It is obvious that while ATT and T Mobile are still keeping those in mind who can't afford a smartphone, VZW is forgetting them. They are throwing the "feature" phone to the wind and concentrating on selling expensive smartphones. I will say that they are making smartphones more affordable, but it is not yet enough.
In the end I will stick with VZW, as long as I can afford it....they really do have the best coverage. But I will be a disgruntle customer stuck with a pathetic selection of "feature" phones until the day I go back to my smartphone (out of college maybe?). I will now step off of my soapbox.
Thanks to those of you who read this, and I hope VZW takes this seriously.

The main point of the post was to provide a solid comparison of the lower end phones offered by the three most major carriers in order to show that VZW is falling behind (albeit in brief). I will admit that that did get lost as my post dragged on. The problem is that Verizon does not offer a good enough selection of phones to choose from for those trying to save by going the lower end route.
Thier selection of phones has indeed changed. Comparing the latest run of "feature" phones to the phones they offered not just two years ago, I can see a change. The quallity and build of the products is the same, but the capabilities are lower. If you look back at the phones I mentioned from ATT and compare them to the touchscreen phones that Verizon offers, I think you will see a difference in features. You can get previous phones; but by doing so you forfeit the ability of getting insurance, or any other replacements.
When I said that T Mobile and ATT are bigger than VZW, I am taking into account the merger that is currently taking place. Once the merger is 100% complete they will have about 30 million more subscribers than VZW. I doubt that T Mobile's quick messaging phones will become obsolete like Alltel's did. T Mobile is larger and thier phones are better known.
I agree that VZW has better customer service (many sources can prove this), but I do not agree that ATT's phones are garbage. They carry Samsung, LG, and Pantech. VZW carries the same brands (+ Sharp). I will again agree that VZW is the best all around, except for the selection of "feature" phones. A reason I will stay with Verizon is that they have good customer service, and great reception everywhere, if this were not the case I would switch carriers simply for the chance to get a better lower end phone. I also stay with them in hopes of being able to get a smartphone back one day-VZW has a fantastic selection of them.

Voice dialing + lack of BASIC features and company communication

i beleive palm has managed to make an amazing operating system, ive never been able to manage notifications and apps so easily but the pres lack of features has been enough to get me to sell my pre to someone else that might just be coming off a non smart phone, and wants a beginner smartphone. the decision to switch does bother me but does palm have any plans in the near future to adress the lack of voice dialing? the lack of communications with future plans is aslo a mojor let down. given palms current state, i dont understand why theres no assurance to new and existing customers that palm is actually working on anything to add these features or what they plan to do in the future?! i will actually be making a switch from the palm very soon. ive used the htc hero before i came to palm and find the hero to be ten times more useful with alot more useful applications. shopsaavy is something that has saved me a great deal of money during the time that i was using it (probably enough to pay for the price of the phone) voice dialing makes it 10 times easier to keep from veering off the road when you have to make that important call to your employer to let them not your running late. though the operating system is amazingly well put together, its lack of features is what has me switching to android. dont get me wrong, i have nothing against palm themselves, i beleive you all are doing all that you can do to stay afloat and i wish palm the best....it just sucks that i wont be one of the customers helping palm do that.

Hello and welcome to the forums;
First, I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying your Pre, and hope that you will stick with us for everything that is coming. With that said, we don't even get advance notice of what 'new' is coming until it hits the public view. It all has to do with confidential information and NDA's. I hope you can understand why some things are kept secret until official launch dates are nailed down, and until all testing on new features is finished.
Voice dialing has been requested several times here in the forums, and our only recommendation is to make the request to our developers at www.palm.com/feedback where those in charge of making changes look for customer requests and ideas for new features.
Hope this helps,

Itunes 9 store lacks so many features the previous version had

why were all these features axed? you can no longer see any published dates, see large lists of possible songs when searching for that hard to find song, not being able to drag store track to itunes folder for later purchase (new wish list BLOWS), you cant even see the whole freaking track titles when they have remixes due to the smaller viewing screen, albums are not sorted in any particular fashion... this is a nightmare.

Jdeveloper lack of Reporting Feature

I am using JDeveloper 10G 3 which have no any reporting feature... Can Oracle provide integration between JDeveloper and Report Builder... OR is it easy to use Reporting services to deploy oracle reports.
guide me please.

Hi,
you are right that there is no integrated reporting. However, this is not an intention of JDeveloper.
You can add reporting in Java using BIPublisher of JasperReports. To call Oracle Reports, you can use the web URL access of Oracle Reports on the web .

Help Me! Reservations about new MacBook. Specifically DVD drive and lack of other features.

I don’t know anything about computers or laptops and I’m hoping someone can help me with this dilemma. I want to purchase the new Macbook ‘13inch laptop but I have reservations about it not having a CD drive. I don’t play video games or anything like that where I would need a drive every day, but I would need one for the occasional DVD or TV show I want to watch. It is more of a slight inconvenience. I mean, every once in a while you need a CD to install something onto your laptop or upgrade something, right?
If I were to by an external CD drive would the retina quality still be projected through the DVD? Would the type or brand of the external drive matter?
All my previous laptops have had a DVD drive so it is hard to imagine not having one. Overall does it really matter that there is no DVD drive?
And, what else doesn’t the new Macbook have that most laptops do? I am a university student who uses it for normal use.
Thank you!

Image quality is determined by the source, DVD, and then the display. An external DVD player will achieve the same image quality as internal one. Blue Ray disks and players have better picture quality but Apple does not support that format.
Many other laptops have viruses, all others have inferior trackpads, and less user friendly operating systems called windows.
Ciao.

Fast but lacks a few features

Safari seems to work fine on my 5 year old Windows XP laptop. It's faster than IE, Firefox, and Opera. The interface is very elegant.
But
You can't resize entire pages as is possible on the other browsers.
and
The function of various buttons doesn't "pop up" when you move the cursor over them.
Processor x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7 GenuineIntel ~2392 Mhz Windows XP Pro

Doing so sends a bug report on the page you happen to be visiting at the moment, there doesnt seem to be a way to send a general, preferences/other bug report other than these forums.
Anywya, after having used Safari for a couple of days, (and having it become my main browser) I have some problems with it.
- Middle click function would be great. In particular:
++ Middle click to open Bookmarks in a new tab, (both from the Bookmarks Menu and Bar)
++ Middle click to activate Mouse scrolling (you know, the 2 or 4 way arrow, that lets you drag the mouse to scroll)
++ Middle click to close tabs (the close button is nice, but I like not having to look for it, and being abloe to close multiple tabs quickly.)
- Sarari does not register as a HTTP, HTTPS or FTP handler in Windows (possibly only Vista) Due to this, my browser will not open any outside links, and the links will open up in IE7.
This one is a biggy... fix the memory leak and/or make Safari use less of it...

Lack of features in Austria

Hello,
does anybody know why so many features are missing on iOS6 in Austria, although they are available in other German speaking countries e.g. Germany or Switzerland?
Regards,

Yes Pandit ,Nokia x2-02 lacks many useful features that earlier Nokia phone had .Music player is not able mark files so making playlist is not easy .Nokia 5130 was capable of going to music player through sd card and making playlist is not necessary.It create a playlist automatically and plays the songs in the folder of sd card. Nokia is running backwards with their technology and that is why they fails in the market.They are busy with making of new devices but we are the customers who decide which phone to buy.I think after sale service! is the key stone of success of a company. Sure You fails in this section. Make new device and concentrate only on it Nokia ,we were the customers who bought nokia phones one after another ...we have just stopped the practice as my x2-02 lacks basis music features and there is not update to fix it .I was planning to switch nokia asha series for my sister and myself to lumia device. But now i think if i buy i will never get proper service as you will be busy with your making of flagship useless devices.Yes ,their fate will be same to me.If my x2-02 issue not fix I will never buy a nokia device for me and my family members and will try to prevent my friend from buying your device I was a fan of nokia but I have to switch other company who takes priority to care of their customers more than producing new devices.
Thank You

1-No option in messaging for "MY FOLDER" and to delete msgs by marking.
2- No option in music player to create playlist and add songs in it like S40 5th edition.
3- No backup of created playlist while we change Memory card.

IPOD Touch /Phone needs lacks the following serious features :

ipod touch needs serious software revamp and since the first ipod none of those
features included and its a shame that such an amazing product and design lacks
of serious software.
IPOD TOUCH / PHONE needs the following features through a software/firmware
upgrade.
+ create and name playlists through ipod
+ search function
+ display the full info of a song in the display /screen (ie. song artist,
album,etc)
+ display all songs of an artist when the artist menu tab is clicked when a song
splays and not only from the current album
+ rename and delete songs
I don't understand why ipod the best mp3 player, lacks so serious features and I
like to to include the above features in a future upgrade.
If you agree with me and you like those features as well to b included in a
feature upgrade please show your support.

well you can create a playlist on the ipod

Seriously lacking export features

Could you tell me why you can't select a save for web function as in jpeg, gif or png? If you want this app to be taken seriously using the photoshop and adobe name then it needs the ability to save different file formats used. People want the ability and functionality of photoshop on iPad, which is what this app is trying to do. But it's lacking the main features people expect when creating artwork. At £6.99 it's the usual over inflated adobe pricing. But people are willing to pay that as long as they get the features they've come to expect from the photoshop name. Are these coming in future updates...?
Or is it just a shiny app that can only create jpegs?

A PS Touch comp can be uploaded to Creative Cloud as:
PSDX (which only Photoshop can read via a plug-in at this time)
JPEG
PNG
PSD
Saved locally ("Save to Camera Roll"):
JPEG
PNG
Shared by e-mail:
JPEG
PNG
PSD
(Note this is on Android; I'm pretty sure iOS users have the same options though.)
Is your complaint that it's not as intuitive (like simply having a "Save As" dialog)?

Feature Request: Modify Audio Channels from the Timeline in Premiere CC.1

Why have we never been able to modify audio channels once a clip is added to a sequence? I'm guessing there's a good reason Adobe has never had this feature. The lack of this feature is explicitly mentioned a few times in the audio section of the Premiere Pro CC manual, as if it's a benefit NOT to have it. But the benefit is entirely lost on me.
In my workflow, I synchronize my double-system video and audio before anything else. I do this in PluralEyes (and unfortunately I'll have to keep doing it this way, until PPr's sync on sound feature gets fixed—for me it's never worked).
Once PluralEyes has synched hours of footage and audio and placed it on a PLURALEYES GENERATED sequence, I import that sequence into Premiere. Note: Since I haven't gone through the step of creating a blank New Sequence, I don't get the opportunity to setup my audio channels the way I'd like in my sequence (i.e. Stereo recordings should occupy ONE track, not two. Typically these tracks come from a camcorder and are used for reference sound, or ambient noise at best, so I don't need them taking up precious real estate in my sequence).
Since PluralEyes doesn't merge my clips for me (or rather I don't want it to since I'm usually doing multi-cam sequences where I want to keep all 14, or so, tracks of audio), I have to go through the clips one by one and do a Merge Clip action once I've adjusted any minor sync issues, or determined which tracks I actually want to keep. But, and here's the key, at this stage I'm not yet 100% certain whether I'll use the nat sound or the wireless mic sound (separate audio recorder, etc). Furthermore, I don't really want to think about that at this point. After I've spent a few mind-numbing hours just ingesting files, sync and merges, I want to jump into the edit as soon as possible, before I lose all will to finish this edit. If I modify my audio channels right now, I'll lose the ability to make some creative decisions later on.
I'd like to start whacking out an assembly edit. And then after I have a rough program, I can start looking at which audio tracks (nat or double-system) I like better in each circumstance. This is where I become stumped that at this stage, I'm locked into whatever audio channels I've setup (or not) in the earliest stage of the edit, back before any media was actually on the timeline! It's at this stage, and usually only at this stage that I want to start Modifying Channels—FROM THE TIMELINE!
Does anyone else feel the same? If not, what is your workflow?
Feature Summary: Right-click on any clip, (master clip, sub-clip, merged, nested or otherwise) in the timeline and choose Modify > Audio Channels.
I've submitted a feature request, with a link back to this discussion, so please pipe in—especially if you want this feature.

Maybe its your specific workflow, asset mangement and use of a 3rd party application that runs you into an issue.
Take Pluraleyes out of the equation, I would imagine my workflow is the same as most everyone else. Find footage in the Media Browser. Import it. Create a Sequence and start editing. Use the Source Monitor to set Ins and Outs and then Insert the clip on the timeline.
At this point, if the audio needs to be modified, it cannot be done on the Timeline. The workaround, of course, is to Find Clip in Project; Modify Audio in the Project panel; then do a Matchframe to replace the audio clip. This works, but requires many steps per clip. Also, Matchframe in Premiere Pro CC is not reliable.
Introducing a new Modify Audio (from Timeline) feature as seen in the fantasy screenshot above would solve it.
I dont use Pluraleyse ...which I understand to be a synching aid...so I dont know the workflow it imposes on one .
Returning to Pluraleyes workflow, this issue is compounded by the need to Modify almost ALL audio. Every stereo track is separated and placed on two MONO tracks taking up precious real estate. This is not something Pluraleyes imposes. It is due to the way Premiere imports XML timelines. This would apply to sequences imported from Final Cut as well.
In this case it would be ideal to select both the LEFT and RIGHT mono tracks and choose "Modify > Audio Channels > Merge L/R Mono to a Single Stereo track." Ideal? No. I guess Ideal would be if Premiere would interpret XML files properly in the first place.
What actually is the issue with Premieres synch and merge workflow in your case?
Audio Sync in Premiere Pro doesn't work. Period.

Aaargh! 3000 N200 crippled/dumbed-down BIOS options and lack of VESA modes

Hi,
I have a Lenovo 3000 N200. The actual hardware is okay for the price (cheapest computer with Penryn CPU and 1680x1050 screen), but the BIOS settings are another matter...
The biggest issue is that Lenovo has disabled the CPU PAE/NX feature in the BIOS and there is no way to enable it. (This has been covered in another thread.) Anyone buying an N200 would have good cause to return it for a refund, since nowhere is it mentioned that this CPU feature is disabled. Luckily 64-bit support is still there, otherwise I'd definitely return mine.
That's not the only problem though. The available settings/options in the BIOS are extremely inadequate. I looked at the v3.03 BIOS update file using a BIOS editor program, and text for all the missing options is in the BIOS image -- these features already exist but Lenovo decided to disable them. Is there any chance Lenovo can enable the missing options in a future BIOS update?
Here are the main annoyances for me:
There should be an option to change the graphics scaling in the BIOS. Non-widescreen modes like 640x400, 640x480 and 800x600 are stretched horizontally to fill the whole screen. I would prefer them to be stretched but keep the original aspect ratio. Once Windows or Linux has booted, you can tell the graphics driver to do that, but that's no help if you're booting to DOS or e.g. a Linux boot CD or Windows installation CD.
There are not enough VESA graphics modes. My N200 with nVidia GeForce Go 7300 graphics has a 1680x1050-pixel screen, but the highest VESA resolution is 1400x1050 (modes 0x347 and 0x348), which always appears stretched. Other nVidia cards seem to use modes 0x368 and 0x369 for 1680x1050.
And here is a run-down of other options which should be user-settable but aren't:
The internal hard disk is always bootable, there's no way to set the BIOS not to boot from it. (You can set its priority lower than the DVD drive, but if there's no bootable disc in there it will always boot from the hard disk.)
The execute disable bit is always disabled, with no way to enable it.
No option to disable the 2nd core of the CPU. (Useful for testing software.)
No option to disable Intel Virtualization Technology. (Useful for testing software.)
No option to enable dynamic CPU frequency mode. (This would be useful in DOS; currently the fan spins all the time there.)
There's an interesting Linux-related option which is not selectable: 'Select IF a Video Repost is to be performed during resume from S3'. Options are 'Disabled: Never', 'perform a Video Repost upon resume from S3', 'Only perform a Video Repost IF the OS is Linux', 'Enabled: Always perform a Video Repost upon resume from S3'.
No option to choose whether there is an alarm when the battery is low.
No option to select the TV video standard (NTSC/PAL/SECAM).
No option to disable the trackpad.
No option to set the keyboard auto-repeat delay and rate.
No option to disable other hardware like the DVD drive, Ethernet card, WiFi, Bluetooth, or HD audio.
All in all, the disabled no-execute bit and video mode issues with the BIOS have kind of soured my experience with this machine. I wish Lenovo would re-enable the missing features in a BIOS update... sigh.

Respect and appreciation for highlighting the lack of BIOS features; I have been spending a long time trying to get S Video to work with my PAL tv. Only now found that the black and white result is due to unmodifiable NTSC settings in the BIOS, and now you tell me they cant be changed.
So aye, another hat in the ring for Bios Update Please.
Hmm so was it advertised in the UK as having TV out - if so and it cannot deliver it because it is NTSC only then this is not fit for purpose and you could get money back.
I'm also disappointed in the lack of advanced power management like toshiba have (dim screen and slow down CPU as battery runs down) and lack of dvd acoustic silencer.
And thanks for posting this - saves me the trouble of buying a cable to plug into the tv-out port if it ain't gonna work!
