My take on the 710

After much dissapointment with the N8 (Evern with the bella update)
I thought i would go for the Lumia 800 (Glad i never now...)
But then they brought out the 710....so thought i would give that a try before upgradeing to the 800
I got it on a 3 contract.
I was going to change from Voda to 3 "The one plan" anyway...so for an extra £4 a month i thought i would try a 710....so phone has cost me £96 over 2 years.
I like the size and feel of the phone and i love the physical buttons....
I like the look and idea of WP7....
But it seems that Nokia have copied HTC with their phone styling.....while it looks good...the speaker, that i use most of the time for Sat Nav, RING TONES, notifications, speaker phone and showing work mates Youtube Vids is RUBBISH.
Evern the iphone speaker is louder...and that is quiet compared to most nokia's.
WP7.5 is no where near as good as iOS or Android...or evern BlackBerry.
From what i could tell, the market place is not filled with APPS but BOOKMARKS/FAVORITES...
I tried E-Bay, Twitter and Youtube and all 3 were **bleep** compared to Android/iOS/BlackBerry and the market place has never heard of iPlayer or ITVplayer.
WP7.5 is prob brilliant if you use MSN messenger, Facebook and X-Box a lot...but i dont...not any more, i am too old.
I just want a phone that looks good, feels good is around an 3.8" screen, has a good speaker so i can hear when it is ringing or i get a text or i'm useing the sat nav app...has proper apps and not just web links and i can watch the odd video on now and then.....
Is that too much to ask.......
I thought the N8 was that phone....but alias Symbian let it down.
I think the days of nokia are long gone.....they just can not seem to do it/keep up, in todays smartphone world.
I Think if i could get a Nokia N8 in the 710 caseing running Android than that would be getting near the perfect phone....but it seems that at the mo i will have to stay with my SGS2.

Interesting. I love my Lumia 710/WP7 for the same reasons you dislke it...
To me, it's a phone that looks great, (esp with WP7 onscreen!) feels good, is around an 3.8" screen ,,,,and because I'm also old - that's it's fun to use! The large tiles are nice on my eyes too. All I can say about the speakers, is that they sound better than my two previous Androids (LG). Everything on WP7 seems to work so beautifully and is a real pleasure to use. True, there are less options than iOS and Android, but the gap is disappearing over time.

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

When using an Apple TV, any new device that logs on immediately takes over the display. Is there any way to prevent this and maintain the control from a designated device?

I would like to designate a single device to control the Apple TV, but anytime another device enters and logs on it takes over the display and whatever is on that screne appears. Is there a way to set the Apple TV so this does not happen?

Glen beck is a conservative news commentator , he now has a tv Chanel broadcasted only by the Internet, is is GBTV I get it on ROKU. I cannot get that or FOX NEWS or CNET on my new apple TV. Love the new device with the exception of my missing networks. By the way, thanks for the remote advice it works great.

Can I take out the underlines in photo gallery?

Can I take out the underlines in photo gallery? I mean the underlines for "Back to Album", "Previous" and "Next". I understand they are functional but I just don't think they look great with the whole composition. Thank you!

This might work:
Create a dummy hyperlink on that page and set the color, rollover color and underline options that you want on those links. Click a couple of times on the *Use for New Links on Page* button. Delete the dummy hyperlink and republish. That should change the links you mentioned.
OT

Did they take out the free section, you know where they might offer a free episode/song/video/etc in one spot (or at least did they for Canada)? I can find the english song of the week, but that is it...

Nevermind. For some reason it loaded wrong/poorly/? It was back after I closed itunes down and re-opened it.
Thanks though

How to make a JPanel containing buttons take up the width of the window?

I'm creating a GUI and I have a button group that I want to be the width of the window. I have another JPanel on the same window that doesn't have a button group in it and it takes up the width of the window. I don't think I'm doing anything differently creating the two, but I need consistency.
The best way I can explain this is with code, so I created an example of what I am doing here:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class test extends JFrame {
     public test() {
          JPanel win = new JPanel();
          JPanel buttonsPanel = new JPanel();
          JPanel statusPanel = new JPanel();
          win.setLayout(new BoxLayout(win, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
          buttonsPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(buttonsPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
          statusPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(statusPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
//          createRadioButtonsPanel
          ButtonGroup buttons = new ButtonGroup();
          JRadioButton currentMap = new JRadioButton("option1", true);
          JRadioButton newMap = new JRadioButton("option2");
          JRadioButton noMap = new JRadioButton("option3");
          buttons.add(currentMap);
          buttons.add(newMap);
          buttons.add(noMap);
          buttonsPanel.add(currentMap);
          buttonsPanel.add(newMap);
          buttonsPanel.add(noMap);
          buttonsPanel.setBorder(
                    BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Create: "));
//           createStatusPanel
          JLabel statusLabel = new JLabel("Loading...");
          statusLabel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder());
          statusLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400,20));
          statusLabel.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(400,20));
          statusLabel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(400,20));
          statusPanel.add(statusLabel);
          JPanel statusButtons = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT));
          JButton pauseSearch = new JButton("Pause");
          JButton cancelSearch = new JButton("Cancel");
          statusButtons.add(pauseSearch);
          statusButtons.add(cancelSearch);
          statusPanel.add(statusButtons);
          statusPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Status: "));
          win.add(buttonsPanel);
          win.add(statusPanel);
          getContentPane().add(win);
          pack();
          setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          test s = new test();
}When I compile and run this class I get this window:
http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/1538/exampleek5.png
You see how on the bottom, "Status" JPanel takes up the entire width of the window? When the window is resized, the border is also resized. I would love to have the top "Create" JPanel have the same behavior. How do I do this?
Thanks in advance!

It can get confusing when using the BoxLayout. The box layout takes into consideration the X alignment of the components as well as the minimum and maximum lengths.
So I suggest you read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/box.html]How to Use Box Layout for examples and explanations on how these values are used in the layout process.
It may be easier to use a BorderLayout for the high level layout manger, since it will resize a components width when added to the NORTH, CENTER or SOUTH.

Need help Take out the null values from the ResultSet and Create a XML file

hi,
I wrote something which connects to Database and gets the ResultSet. From that ResultSet I am creating
a XML file. IN my program these are the main two classes Frame1 and ResultSetToXML. ResultSetToXML which
takes ResultSet & Boolean value in its constructor. I am passing the ResultSet and Boolean value
from Frame1 class. I am passing the boolean value to get the null values from the ResultSet and then add those
null values to XML File. When i run the program it works alright and adds the null and not null values to
the file. But when i pass the boolean value to take out the null values it would not take it out and adds
the null and not null values.
Please look at the code i am posing. I am showing step by step where its not adding the null values.
Any help is always appreciated.

HT5429 How long after you report a problem does it take for the fix to be picked up in maps?

How long after you report a problem does it take for the fix to be picked up in maps? The street I live on is misspelled. It's shown as one word, but it should be two words. Maps cannot find the address when it is spelled correctly, so I have it purposely misspelled it as one word in my contacts, which helps for the most part, however it still tries to place my home on an entirely different street all together. Fortunately this new random street is at least close to where I live. When I used to spell my street correctly with two words, maps would try to send me to the next town over. So it kind of works, as long as I misspell my street, and ignore the fact that it is showing where I live to be a couple of streets down from where I actually live. I live in Connecticut - not in the most populated of areas, but not in the middle of nowhere either. Amazingly enough Google Maps will correctly find my address whether it's spelled with one words or two words. Google Maps also shows my apartment complex, which Apple Maps does not. I really wish Apple would just do a quick pass of the area to fix these issues. I’ve reported the problem several times, months ago. How long will it take for there to be a fix? I keep trying to use the Apple ecosystem, but Google is clearly the better solution for me.

Apple does not do the GIS data for maps. That comes from 3rd party vendors like Tom Tom. I have read it takes some time to update map data. The only thing you can do is report it.
Not to belittle your complaint, but on my end it is Apple that is clearly better. When looking at my house in Google, the satellite photo is more than 4 years old, and the Apple one is much newer. I can tell because of the condition of my home and the neighbor's. They had an above ground pool which was removed 4 years ago and it shows on the Google Map. I had remodeling and roof work done to my home that started 3 years ago and Apple's satellite view showed this work done, which took over a year to complete. I live in the middle of a block in a rural town. Both Apple and Google split the block into 100 parts and put my home close to the beginning of the block instead of where it actually sits. I've reported it to both Google and Apple and no one has changed. Just one of those things. But, keep your chin up, it will get corrected eventually.

When I select a netflix movie on my iPad and push it to my apple TV, why doesn't the Apple TV take over the streaming, so that I can then use my iPad for other things?

From what I can tell, when I select the movie and hit the airplay button to move it to the apple TV, my iPad is still doing all the work of streaming the movie. Why can't the apple TV take over the heavy work at this point? I'd like to be able to use my iPad as more of a remote with an awesome interface for the apple TV. The netflix app on iPad is great, and the easiest way to browse movies, and pushing them to the apple TV is fantastic, but once the movie starts, I want to use my iPad for other things!!! Can this be put on the "to do" list for devs?

Have you tried the Remote app on iPhone/iPad to control AppleTV, do searches etc? Should be easier than the remote alone and this does not involve Airplay.
Please note, only users read/comment here - your idea is quite sensible in my view (maybe have a 'Continue viewing on AppleTV' option or something. I doubt this would be high on Apple's roadmap but send them feedback here:

CS6 problem. When I open the Mask panel, it takes up the entire screen width and the Looks controls disappear, Also, there is a new panel below the Mask panel that seems to have no purpose that I can find. The documentation says "Mask and Look panels - The Mask panel is now placed next to the Look panel. WIth the masking and grading tools placed side-by-side, you can now work faster on the mask workflow." Is there a way to move, hide, or otherwise manipulate the panels for a custom layout? All the examples I can find on the Web show the Looks panel to the left of the Mask panel where the controls are available.

Ok, here is what I have so far. Appdelete the iWork and reinstalled. Pages and Number work, but not Keynote.
Now, I downloaded a couple apps that I need, and no matter what I did, the spinning ball came up and the download stopped till it unlocked itself. It is really frustrating because the download was not completed and whatever came through would not mount. Could this issue be the internet connection? Permission fix showed a lot of Airport issues. I will try to run permissions fix again.

Multiple takes on the same track, fading from one take to another

Isn't there a way to record multiple takes on the same track and fade the takes together? In an old version of Garage Band, you used to be able to put two takes one on top of the other in the same track and fade them together. Now, the track just cuts and there's no fading to the next one. It's so cheesy this way; all live instruments need two tracks, one for mess-ups. I called up Apple Care but the guy couldn't find a solution. If this is the way it is now, it's very cheap. I mainly bought the Mac because of Garage Band, the Garage Band of old; has it been dumbed down now so that musicians are forced to spend even more money to upgrade to the next level program? I wouldn't have bought the Mac but instead stuck with Mixcraft on PC, which has ease of use and cost only $80. Please say there is a way to fade from one take to the next on the same track without cutting off one take abruptly. Otherwise I have been duped by Apple.

I believe it was Garage Band '08 that I used with crossfade.
Sorrry dude, didn't happen.
I'm guessing you used Apple Soundtrack - sounds a lot like what you're describing.
Garageband, incidentally, has only added features version to version.

I have an iPad 2 and recently purchased an iPad mini. My husband will take over the iPad2. How can he get an icloud account for this iPad (eliminating me) and his iPhone5?

Delete your iCloud account on the iPad 2, then he can follow the instructions to create his own iCloud account on it:

Then he can setup his own account on his iPhone.

Bought an ipod 4g at a pawn shop, it was locked and disabled but the guy said I could restore it, it didn't work and he won't take back the ipod what do i do?

I bought an ipod 4g at a pawn shop, it was locked and disabled but the guy said I could restore it by connecting it to my computer and pressing the home and sleep buttons at the same time, it didn't work and he won't take back the ipod what do i do?
When I try connecting it to my computer itunes opens and says I cannot connect to the ipod because it is disabled, enter passcode on ipod. The ipod is locked and disabled and will not allow me to try and put in a passcode, which I wouldn't be able to do because I have no idea what it might have been.
I downloaded the newest version of Itunes, restarted computer, connected ipod, nothing, held every button down for what seems like forever, nothing. I think I have been screwed by the pawnshop. Is there anyway of restoring this thing or is now just a $60.00 paperweight?

torreto44. that does not work with a Disabled iPod. Jim's gave the correct answer for a Disabled iPod
