"Missing" new features in Amber?

Some customers have posted about new features which seem to be absent from their phones after the Amber update.
FM Radio
This is a new feature for Lumia 520, 521, 720, 820, 920 and 925. You will find Radio as a new option in Music and Videos, see the screen shot below, it will not appear as a separate app in your app list.
FM Radio is not available in Lumia 620, 810 and 928 as these models do not have all of the necessary hardware.
Double-Tap and Glance Screen
These are features first require an updated version of "Display+Touch", you should be offered this as a suggested app update by the Microsoft Store app or Store live tile shortly after updating. If you haven't seen the notification yet, you can search the store for the app and download the update directly.
Also, please note that these features are not switched on by default:
Double-tap to awaken (Not available on Lumia 520, 521, 620 or 720) - go to Settings>Display+Touch, slide sideways to "Double-Tap" and tap the tick-box.
Glance screen (not available on 520/521) - go to Settings>Display+Touch, slide sideways to "Glance" and choose "Peek" for display when you hand is held over the phone (this option used the proximity sensor), "Timed" for a fifteen minute display of the Glance screen after the phone locks or "Always on".
If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

For phones at about 25% the price of an iPhone these models hold their own pretty well. I find the remarks here quite laughable and hilarious. You buy a budget phone, where technical and hardware compromises have to be made to bring cost down. The notion you paid for features which become available at a later date for some models is just ridiculous and childish.
I refuse to believe anyone with a sane mind would go beserk over a trivial feature not available to them. Good luck with your double tap to wake feature on your iPhone.. oh wait.. Android then.. damn again..
Get a life people, you sound like a bunch of crybabies.

Missing new features after upgrading to OS 7.1

Hi, I use a torch 9810 and I just upgraded to the new OS 7.1 and not all the new features are on my phone. For example I don't have FM radio, the mobile data e.t.c what can I do to get these features..I've been asking @blackberryhelp for help but no response from them till now.

Actual received features will be a function of your specific device capabilities coupled with the services your carrier allows.

Please read this blog article:
http://blogs.blackberry.com/2012/01/blackberry-7-1-update/
As you will see, that function was not made available for your specific model as your model has no actual FM radio receive inside of it. No amount of OS or software can overcome a missing piece of hardware.

Hmmm...I find myself wondering exactly what that is...can you perhaps expand on that?

Hmmm...it's awfully hard to comment on an "e.t.c." set of missing features. Perhaps if you listed exactly those you are missing?

For the FM radio, nothing. For the others, we'd need to know what those other actually are.
Thanks!

My Indesign cc - missing new features

Hi
My Indesign is supposed to be updated - but yet I do not see new features like "export to fixed e-pub" or all the new epub export features.
What is the reason please?

What is your version number? Latest version is CC 2014, version 10.0.1

Missing new features info in Pro*Cobol doc

Following section has two headlines for 9.2 and none for 10.2:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/a96109/whatsnew.htm

This problem has been fixed and will be available when the 10.2 documentation set is next refreshed. I don't know when that will happen; the doc set is refreshed periodically when changes in the book warrant it.
Thanks for letting us know about this.

Lumia 520 : No new features added after amber upda...

I updated my Lumia 520 through OTA. After the process I could not find any new features and the about section does not show "Amber".
What should I do?

The 'Amber' version is found in Settings > extras+info and make sure you get the additional apps required which you can all find HERE

Missing / deleted history - 'New and improved' releases add new features, improved (?) function, but eliminate some options and browsing history...

This has been a problem ever since updating from Firefox 8 to FF 10. I noticed that there was about a month missing from my history after that update. Checking my settings in 'about:config', there was no change in 'browser.history_expire_days_min' or 'browser.history_expire_days.mirror'. The value has been set at '720' ever since installing FF 3.6 over three years ago.
Admittedly, I don't install new updates the moment they become available... However, every time that I've installed an update, more and more of my history simply vanishes. Not a few days or weeks, mind you. but 3, 6, and even 9 months of history GONE!
I just don't understand why this option was eliminated from Privacy Preferences, forcing users to tinker with the settings in 'about:config' instead. Since users are given a warning before going on to the settings page, why would any programmer think this is a good alternative to the Preferences pane???
Now I'm down to history for February and March of this year... You can bet that I'm not going to be updating to any new releases for a very long time, if ever.
It seems that 'software bloat' isn't a 'Microsoft-only' disease...
New 'features' + 'improved' perfomance = New demands for disk space + improved glitches...
Frankly, I'm getting sick of this...

Not sure if it is relevant but the structure of the places.sqlite database changed recently, and jumping all the way from fx3.6 to fx18 or 19 could conceivably have been a factor. It is best to keep Firefox up-to-date.
Glad at least that you keep backups.
History backups are slightly problematic, because if the places.sqlite database is backed up and restored to an old copy the bookmarks then regress. As you will be aware already, Firefox itself makes no History backups, and has no facility to restore History only.

Successfully downloaded iOS5 but missing some "new feature" apps???

I've successfully completed the download; however, some of the advertised applications are missing. For example, I've located the option to download Twitter within the Settings application and I've located the new "Reminders" and "Videos" apps; however, I cannot locate the "notifications", "PC free" or "wi-fi sync". Are these imbedded within other applications? Can someone enlighten me on how to access these new features?
Regards,
Middlebunny

there only seems to be 10 pages of apps not the 11 pages of apps I thought it would have
It depends how many you have installed
Does the 3.0 update not include the landscape for the keyboard?
Yes, it does, but it depends on the application. It applies to the built-in Mail, Notes & Safari applications.
Not all third-party applications have been updated for landscape keyboards.

A Success Story & First Impressions of New Features

Like many of you I was plagued with some of the serious problems with updating my Domain file: disappearing photos, missing blog comments, missing link bars at the top of the page etc. I tried the various tip and tricks sugested here with no luck. When the 2.01 update to iWeb appeared last Friday I downloaded it but I held off using it. I had already lost about 6 hours out of my life playing around with iWeb 2.0 with nothing to show for it. After reading many posts saying it didn't help I was going to hold off.
Don't ask me why, but I changed my mind. Monday I started working on my site. Creating 10 album pages to replace my homegrown versions, adding some navigation aids, relinking etc. I also moved the photo I wanted to show as the album preview to the first position on each photo page. All in all I spent about 8 hours working on the site. I would save every 10 minutes or so and duplicate the domain file and keep several generations of these around. There were no missing photos, crashes or hiccups of any kind.
This morning I uploaded the site. The first thing I noticed is this version of iWeb seems to be faster creating the files to be uploaded. Much faster. I'm not sure if this is an improvement to the code or a result of the smaller domain files created in iWeb 2. Instead of 15 minutes or so it took 5. The first upload of the files to .mac took just as long as ever, nearly 45 minutes on a high speed cable modem connection. As the upload was completing the first hiccup occured-the upload failed with a message saying there was an error creating a file. I was not optomistic at this point. I figured I was having the upload problem others have reported. All my page icons were back to red and I figured it was back to square 1. At least all the content was still in the Domain file.
When I hit the upload button the second time it took the same 5 minutes to create the files, but the upload to 30 seconds. It evidently just repaced the file that had the problem. I have since made edits to my site several times and iWeb seems to be much faster uploading the pages. I get the impression it doesn't reupload the whole page content but merely uploads the changed portion. I added a text box to 30 pages and the changes uploaded to .mac in about a minute. I am very pleased with this increase in speed.
As for the site itself I love the new features. I love the picture gallery where clicking on a picture opens up a larger copy and gives you thumbs of the other pages. I tried my site in 3 different Mac browsers with no issues and also the latest IE for Windows running under Parallels 3. Unlike what others have reported, my slideshows appear normal size on the PC. I like the new album pages and the automatic linking they provide. In iWeb itself I like being able to collapse the album folder to reduce the clutter in the navigation sidebar. I like the fact you can create a blank page now. You don't have to strip another page type to get a blank page. The skimming effect on album pages works equally well on the Mac or PC side. One interesting thing I have noticed is the picture captions are in a different font on the PC side. I use the Freestyle template for my site and the picture captions are in a handwritten style font (Handwritten-Dakota). In the past these would be converted to .png image files so they would display correctly on the PC. In this version the fonts are rendered in a serif font that looks like times. I imagine this may make the page load faster but I'm not surre if I like this feature or not. The page does look drastically different.
Speaking of dislikes there are a couple. I wish iWeb would ask you before it goes and downsamples your photos while converting to the 2.0 format. I don't like the idea that if you want to use the high quality hi res versions you have to reinsert and recaption them. Like many others I would like to be able to turn off the download button when viewing the photo galleries.
While I think Apple deserve a spanking for the initial release of iWeb 2.0, now that the patch seems to be working for me I feel it is a worthy upgrade. I am 90 percent happy with the new features and I think the other 10 percent can be tweaked by Apple in response to user feedback. If you'd care to stop by and visit my site here is the address:
http://web.mac.com/jmahoney
I hope those of you still having trouble will get your sites up and runing soon. If you held off on the 2.01 upgrade, you might want to give it a shot (after backing up your Domain file). I was pleasantly surprised.
Jim Mahoney

Thanks for your account and experience with the new iWeb.
Nice site now, although vegetarians better skip it
I personally got rather hungry viewing it. And it is only 13.30 here.

New features for uc320

Dear Cisco-Team,
There are already some threads open regarding the implementation of new features. Some of them are maybe not more actual, so I open a new discussion to have hopefully answers on the following feature requests:
PPTP-Implementation: It's still not possible to get PPTP running with the UC320. (Teleworker)
Remote-Phones: It's still not possible to connect SPA phones remotely to UC320
Dial-Plan: With the new firmware 2.3.2 (6) there was one great improvement: "Return Call without Edit Dial". But it doesn't work for Austria.
"Enhanced Caller ID Directory Mapping" - also new in version 2.3.2 - but doesn't work.
soft-phone: annouced many times and since years. promised by Cisco. Still not implemented.
I hope that someone from Cisco can give me a qualified answer incl. a timeline!!!
Greeting from Austria.
Matthias

This is not very reassuring as to the future, and Cisco's commitment, to this platform, as these features (teleworker, softphone, wireless portable phone, etc.) have previously been touted as "on the roadmap". Being "on the roadmap" and being "re-evaluated" are different objectives.
It appears that the UC320 is just a repackaging of the SPA-9000 + the SPA-400 without the ability to use the SPA9xx phones. What a disapointment and missed opportunity for Cisco.
"The teleworker and softphone features mentioned in the posting above are been re-evaluated by the team. There is no commitment yet on these features."

InDesign CC 2014 tryout has only some new features and some others are old: strangest thing ever.

Hi everyone, I have installed a tryout on InDesign CC 2014 today to work on epubs. The app is having all sort of problems. It crashed while making packages. I resetted the prefs and this was fixed.
But the most annoying and strange things are the new features: some are showing (like the export fixed layout epub option), others are not (interactivity menu is exactly the old one, bookmarks options in export panel are not showing).
I had uninstalled it and installed again. It is still not working. I work on an iMac with sys 10.9.5 (Yosemite).
I need to keep the old version running for compatibility issues. I can't delete it.
I am stuck: any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

For example: I have the "export fixed layout epub" (which I do not have in InDesign CC) , but I do not have the bookmarks option in the export panel. I still see SWF preview, but not the epub interactivity menu under -> view -> interactivity. To be more precise: I am following a Lynda.com course about epub: I'm not guessing what to look for or what button to click. I have to follow very careful instruction step-by-step that I can't follow because the program miss some parts.
I attach an image to better explain. It's in italian, but if you just count the options you will see that one is missing: the bookmark (and last) one.

List of useful NEW features in Keynote '13

There's a long thread on features that are missing in the update. Some changes are quite annoying. However I'm also noticing a lot of useful new features beyond the top-level things that get reported in news articles. Here are some. Please add to the list.
Text boxes can take any shape so text flows in a specific way you want it to, such as around a curved shape — awesome special case of the next feature.
Format > Shapes and Lines > Make Editable allows you to edit bezier points of an object. Note: inconsistent functionality — weirdly, does not work for curves or connection lines, for example.
Vastly simpler and more beautiful way of editing Bezier points: simply hover mouse between two existing points and a new one appears for you to grab onto if you want it.
Edit shapes with unite / intersect / subtract (under Format > Shapes and Lines). E.g., take a bite out of an object.
Connection lines (under Insert - > lines). Like magnets in OmniGraffle: the end of the line attaches to another object and moves with it. But very limited halfhearted implementation: not every object type can be connected to, you can’t designate positions on the object to connect to, nothing else in the interface even tells you whether the line is a connector or not, there’s no way to switch it on an off for a particular object, etc…
Magic Move transitioncan match text boxes with some text changes (inserting words or letters)
Format > Shapes and Lines > Make motion path from shape (haven’t tried this)
Insert comments tagged with your name and optionally attached to certain objects
Fewer floating windows (panel on right instead)
Negative things worth noting:
The new keynote autosaves, even when this destroys compatibility with older versions of Keynote. So if you want to try editing an old presentation, and you might want to still use it in the old Keynote, make a copy first.
The new Curve object (click the Shape toolbar button, and it’s in the top right) is very strange and you might want to avoid using it. It doesn’t seem to be a “first class” object like others. You cannot add Bezier points, and strangely, you can’t even rotate it! Instead, add a straight line and then add a Bezier point to it.
Cannot reapply master to selection (can only apply to entire slide)
Bezier nodes have only a point, not the two handles, so they’re less flexible
Old themes can fail to work correctly. Not only if there are animations in the master, as has been reported elsewhere; one of my themes incorrectly displays paragraphs as bullets, until I manually tell it to reapply the master to the slide.

The viewable area is centered now. So, you can stage objects off-slide to the top or left very easily.
No more fiddling with a button to scale. Now, as with most drawing apps, pinch can zoom in and out quickly
Right-to-left language text (like Arabic and Hebrew) builds actually WORK!
Have an image and want to replace it with an updated version (or one that's customer specific)? You can now replace images in place quickly
Negative thing worth noting
No longer possible to tweak the file manually to create rounded joins on lines (or rounded butts on dashes for that matter). If you have an old file you manually updated, those still work in the latest version (I've posted a presentation here that uses lines with rounded corners instead of mitered corners to show the difference https://www.icloud.com/iw/#keynote/BAI2xMm7NsSaRKQ1wayBKy6a3BIs7ZO7W1OE/Symbols_ ME_11)

New features request

Usually in software development organizations, there exists a product manager that decides (amongst other things) which new features get added to future releases. I am posting this message in hopes that the Oracle Enterprise Manager product manager monitors this forum. Site summary: five locations, approximately 800 nodes provisioned with a mix of RHEL 4.6, 4.8 and 5.3. Enterprise controller at 2.5.0.1200, hardware all Sun x86: blade, x4100, x4600 and x2200 servers.
We are generally happy with Ops Center, but in order for it to be competitive with other products going forward the following features would help us:
- the ability to select a large group of discovered assets and provision them all with the same OS profile, specifying IPs to use for each (list or range). this was possible in N1 System Manager, a former Sun product.
- the ability to re-run an update job on a set of new targets (not just re-run on failed targets). we very frequently run the same set of updates, in a specific order, on groups of nodes - it would be nice to just select new targets and not have to re-add the updates to a new job in addition to selecting new targets
- be able to specify the order in which local actions are run in updates that contain multiple action scripts. then we could just create one master update script that runs our updates in the right order
- clean up the blobs left behind on the target after an update (/var/opt/scn/sun/update-agent/blobs); on blades with small esd drives, disk space is an issue
- the ability to edit an asset and add connectivity that the discovery failed to find (particularly ELOM based machines, where discovery is spotty at best). not just manually declaring the asset and adding GB_x , but editing the discovered asset and adding the mgmtEth if its missing
- with this many managed assets we cannot enable the summary charts for each node - just too much traffic to the enterprise controller. would be nice if something could be done about this
Assuming I could select 150+ assets and tell Ops Center to deploy the given OS profile on them, then run a single update with actions in the order we require across all of them, the time to re-provision an entire site would drop from well over a month to under a week.
cheers,
-phil

Hi Phil,
These are all excellent requests, thanks for making your wish-list public! I don't work for Oracle, but I'm going to interleave some comments that may help:
- the ability to select a large group of discovered assets and provision them
all with the same OS profile, specifying IPs to use for each (list or range).
this was possible in N1 System Manager, a former Sun product.This may just boil down to how you selected the assets to provision: I know for sure you can bulk deploy OS images. You see slightly different hostname/IP options depending on if you select a folder of systems, or add many systems to the provision list manually (http://forums.halcyoninc.com/showthread.php?t=314 ).
- the ability to re-run an update job on a set of new targets (not just
re-run on failed targets). we very frequently run the same set of updates,
in a specific order, on groups of nodes - it would be nice to just select new
targets and not have to re-add the updates to a new job in addition to
selecting new targetsHave you tried creating a new Profile, and specifying all your updates in that single Profile (or do you mean something else)? The Profile can be the single place that records the updates (and their ordering), and you can execute it on-demand and target it to any hosts you want (http://wikis.sun.com/display/EM11gOC1/Updating+from+an+OS+Profile)
- be able to specify the order in which local actions are run in updates that
contain multiple action scripts. then we could just create one master update
script that runs our updates in the right orderIf you'd prefer that your master script be responsible for deciding what other script get run, you can include those secondary scripts as "Local Config Files", and leave your master script as a "Local Action". Ops Center will put those other "config file" scripts on disk for you, in the paths you specify with the permissions you want... but won't execute them. Which means everything is in place for when your master local-action script gets run at the end of the job: it can decide which other scripts get run and which don't. (http://wikis.sun.com/display/EM11gOC1/About+Local+Content).
- clean up the blobs left behind on the target after an update
(/var/opt/scn/sun/update-agent/blobs); on blades with small esd drives,
disk space is an issue I believe blobs are left behind intentionally, as a cache (and that's also how you can "simulate" patch jobs in advance)... but you may be able to tune that behaviour. I think the amount of disk space Agents use as a cache is configurable: ask Oracle support for help.

Forms 10gR2 new features documentation

I can't find any documentation that identifies the differences between release 1 and release 2... Any ideas? I had a quick look at the technical overview for both releases and there doesn't appear to be much difference, or did I miss something?

Thanks Frank,
I take it then the only way to discover the differences, particularly for someone not familiar with forms, is to read all the documentation for both releases in detail and compare. It is a pity there is no New Features White Paper like there is for release 1.
I am basically trying to answer the question of why would we bother migrating to release 2 of Developer Suite (apart from the obvious Error Correct desupport at the end of the year). Do you know of any papers that might help answer that question? Maybe the differences are in other Developer Suite components rather than forms?
thanks.
