More Bars in More Places with 2.1

Hello All,
JUST AN FYI...
More bars... in more places? Yes. But...
Make sure you are checking your dBm signal strength. I did the 2.1 upgrade and my son did not. I had 1 more bar than he did on the way to school. We usually have 4 bars, but after the 2.1 update I now have 5. But we had the same dBm signal on both phones? Hummmmm...
I look forward to testing it over the week-end.
Thanks,
Doug

More accuracy compared with what though? Their Marketing Department? Oh me of little faith!
Suppose that Apple calibrated the display to be a bit more conservative. And suppose a Nokia handset receives the tiniest, noisy signal and displays 5 bars (which they have been known to do).
Which is more fair? Seems Apple, but they get raked over the coals next to a Nokia.
If you were Apple, what would you do?
There is no standard whatsoever as to what signal level or S/N corresponds to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 bars. It's totally arbitrary.
Forget about counting bars and use the phone. If you are still experiencing dropped calls or cannot initiate or receive calls then you have a legitimate issue.

  • More bars in more places?

    For the past year i was part of Verizon and I never had a problem with coverage and signal strength. But now, I swing from 4 to 1 to occasional drop out in my apartment with AT&T. This morning I went to Target and had "no service" while inside. Is this a problem with the iPhone or AT&T?
    I know this is the first generation of the phone, but im sure when this thing was in testing, someone must have noticed the weak signal, especially when having a phone company that advertises "fewest dropped calls" and "more bars in more places".
    Would all the new iPhones jumping on the cell towers have something to do with it?

    As I provided with my previous post, I wouldn't get too hung up on the number of bars with 3G access.
    There is a restaurant near my house that I frequent. Reception with my first generation iPhone inside this restaurant was always one or two bars. The restaurant has a metal roof which affects reception which significantly improves when stepping outside. EDGE access speed was noticeably slower than normal most of the time when inside.
    With my 3G iPhone, it indicates one bar of reception when inside this restaurant but this has no noticeable effect on internet access speed via 3G. When I step outside and 3G reception jumps to 3-4 bars, internet access speed is probably a little bit better, but not noticeable. I can't tell any difference.
    I can carry on a conversion with one bar of reception with 3G access with little or no static at times, but not the same with one bar of reception with EDGE. And I can place or receive a call when actively accessing the internet via 3G access - one bar of reception or 5 bars of reception, or anywhere in between which isn't possible when connected via EDGE.

  • VZW ... truly more bars in more places

    This can put tears in your eyes, if you have suffered from abysmal AT&T coverage for years:
    What a relief ...

    The inactive iPhone and that last AT&T bill with ETF will be a bit of a tough nut, but totally worth it when it is like somebody just added a tower next to your house. Going from 0-1 bars in the house and no 3G within probably an hour to just full coverage in our house alone is night and day.
    Can't wait to start test driving it, pairing it with the car and go places without losing coverage. I would bet money it is not going to drop a single call on the commute where AT&T could drop it 3-4 times.
    This is going to relieve so much coverage stress ... if only we had this 3-4 years ago. But you can't have it all, at once.

  • Qty with more than 3 decimal places in BOM

    HI ALL,
    CAN I PUT QTY IN BOM WITH MORE THAN 3 DECIMAL PLACES ITS VERY URGENT REQUIREMENT.
    THANKS
    R SEHGAL

    Dear Rakesh
    I am not sure, but you can try this
    1. Define one more UOM for example 4dec then in MM02 give the conversion of 4dec to your 3 decimal, give conversion in it. for eg 10*3dec = 4 dec
    2. Now when you define bom enter quantity in 3dec(i,e, multiplying by 10) and then convert the uom in BOM to 4dec
    You can try and let us know your feedback
    Regards
    Jitesh

  • Wifi works on iPhone but not MacBook with more bars!

    so, sitting in the same spot my MacBook Pro has 4/4 bars but the wifi only works for five seconds at a time (not literally but it feels like it), then I have to disconnect and reconnect. My iPhone has 2/3-3/3 bars and the wifi works great! why is this? Shouldn't the MacBook have better reception as its bigger/has more power? Why does it show more bars than the iPhone but hAbe a worse connection?

    Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
    Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.

  • Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web points to Mozilla update."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?

    Yahoo mail tool bar (delete,more,spam,etc) not working in firefox.Works in Explorer.Web search points to Mozilla update problem."Plug-ins" up to date. Solutions?
    I've used firefox for years now with out problems. Now that help is needed, Could you make this any more frustrating? I thought I was asking Mozilla help and I'm sent to "users". I went there 1st! there are similar questions but no answers. I've lost time and data. Is there any REAL PEOPLE to help with firefox problems?

    I'm a real person, thanks.
    If you mean, does Mozilla have paid staff you could phone or email, the answer is "No."
    Is the problem with a feature of the Yahoo! mail web page itself, or the Yahoo! toolbar?
    General advice:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    ''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
    ''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    and OK the restart.
    ''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
    Any difference in how Yahoo! works?

  • Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.

    Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.
    Attempted solutions:
    -I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
    -I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
    Google Drive Warning:
    Spotify Warning:        
    But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    This isn't a problem, but a question.
    1. Can you sync your iphone with remote to more than one itunes library (such as itunes on 2 different computers)?
    Yes you can sync with more than one iTunes Library. I just did it today with the library on my Mac and PC
    if so then...
    2. Does the itunes have to be maximized for the remote function to work, or can it be minimized on the task bar at the bottom?
    On my mac I can play the songs with iTunes minimized.
    The reason why, is I want to sync my iphone with my mother's computer at her house, and put some sound effects on her library. Then I want to turn her itunes on and minimize it and wait until she starts working on her pc and then I can play some practical jokes on her making her computer make weird noises (sound effects on itunes).
    Any answers would be appreciated by me (but not my mother).
    Thanks, and happy pranking to you all

  • Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

    That depends what you mean. If you mean can you purchase from more than one iTunes account on the Apple TV, then the answer is no. If you mean can you stream from more than one iTunes library, which use different accounts, then the answer is yes, so long as they both use the same ID and password for homesharing.

    Hi Tracy,
    I'm guessing "ash" is the silver colored keyboard, the same color as the rest of the MBP? If so, that machine, with the optical drive slot on the front, is the older machine.

  • "value cannot have more than 0 decimal places" error

    CRM gurus,
    Whenever I try to create a Counter, I receive the following warning which doesn't allow me to do anything further..
    "<b>value cannot have more than 0 decimal places"</b>
    I first received this when I tried to assign a counter to a product in an Installed Base. So when I tried creating a counter here, I got the above message. I then tried to assign a counter to the product in the product master data, and I still received the same error message. I then tried creating a counter from the "Maintain Counter" screen (Transaction Code: <b>crm_mpk_admin</b>), and still received the same error message.
    In this effort I created my own custom Counter Category, and Attributes. Nothing helped.
    Could someone throw some light on this concept and tell me where am I going wrong.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Iphone does not sync more than 3 mobile numbers with outlook

    as title says: iphone does not sync more than 3 mobile numbers with outlook.
    when i have a contact in iphone and i add more mobile numbers than just one, they do not pass through to outlook 2007. i realize this is because there is no room in outlook for more than 2 (if i remember correct) mobile numbers,but is there a workaround?

    I've got the same problem but with a "4 number" limit. Many of my outlook contacts have more than 4 numbers associated with them but the iPhone contacts app only shows/syncs 4 numbers. Any way to increase this limit on the iphone?
