N8 Bugs and Missing vs. N95

Hello.
I recently bought my N8, before, i used a N95.
PODCAST :
1) I tried to send from my N95 Podcast link to N8 but trying to open them on N8, I get "General Error" warning. The sending link is saved into RSS Web bookmark on N8 (why).
2) Podcast application is not available standalone like N95. Podcast on N8 is a Musicplayer function.
But the N8 Podcast is very strange, i don't understand how it's work ???
3) OviCarte (3.0.4) crashes during navigation.
4) Radio scan function is so light on N8. There is not internet loading station like N95 choosing Country, region and then town.

For PODCAST this is the solution:
https://projects.forum.nokia.com/podcatcher
I don't know why this application isn't into OVISTORE ???
Thank you :

Bugs and Missing (Removed) Features in "Edit Bookmarks" in Safari 6.1

With the bookmark changes of Safari 6.1 , when you drag a bookmark into a bookmark folder in Safari's "Edit Bookmarks" mode, the display suddenly and uncontrollably bounces back to the top of the bookmark list, losing your place. This makes it impossible to resume editing your collection without scrolling down any extensive list of bookmark folders and subfolders to pick up where you left off.
The "Edit Bookmarks" mode has also taken away the ability to view and edit your bookmarks in a sort of column view. Before, when editing bookmarks, you could click on a bookmarks folder in pane to the left, and the sub-folders and/or bookmarks for that specific bookmark folder would display inn a list in the main window. Removing this ability again forces ridiculous amounts of scrolling to organize extensive collections of bookmarks and bookmark subfolders.
I use bookmark folders and subfolders extensively and constantly to organize research. These present a a big and annoying problem for me.
Does anyone have a solution I'm missing?
I've reported these at http://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html

The problem continues with the updated Safari 6.1.1 . Anyone have any new information?

Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretative translation for legacy input control context request (right-click)

Redundant post - however the topic (title) is different to point out the potential of adding translation for right-click to universal app input controls. The part about a solution for translation is in bold at the bottom of this post ...
Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretation translating right-click to a left-click to activate context (menu) in universal app web style (similar to oo context menu for oo legacy style).
Bug: Task view: OO context menu: Should show "nothing" (like right-click Start Menu button) - but right click Task view shows the oo context menu for the Task bar (wrong context)
Besides behaving wrongly (should be like right clicking the Start button) ....
the problem is the user is likely to look for actions on that context menu.
However to activate the context menu for this universal app kind of behavior you actually need to left-click the button for the Task view ... and then you get the universal app like context menu.
Microsoft must have been trying to figure out what to do about this kind of voupling mismatch between legacy (right-click) and universal app (left-click) conmtext menus. confusing for users it weill become nevertheless.
But the left-click style supports touch.
One solution though is to support right-click on i.e. Task view and Start button. Thus for new kind (universal app kind-of)input controls - right-click will work (instead of just being ignored) just like left-click. Allthough not a correct left-click
- it will be helpful and interpretive translating the intension of receiving a context. A practical solution with right-click translating into left-click for universal app controls considering that the context menu actually has become a hybrid of left-click
and right-click (with a precedence for left-click though)

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.

N8 bugs and feedback

Hi there.
I was one of the lucky N8 winners at Qt-Dev-Days in Munich (fact or **bleep** competition) :-) and after using the phone for two weeks I have some bug reports and general feedback. Hopefully this is the proper place to report my problems... Before the n8 I was a n900 user and also had a 5800 XM.
Bugs:
1. The e-mail application and the widget (imap, configured for gmail and email for exchange with a MS server) doesn't sync properly. It knows of new e-mails, but it never deletes old messages unless I click on "synchronize". This behavior doesn't make sense and it's very annoying to keep seeing old e-mails on my inbox if I deleted or archived them (e.g.: via webmail).
2. The calendar (synced via mail-for-exchange) has a problem similar to the e-mail via imap: it know of new entries, but it can't update entries. For example, I have meetings assigned for 6 months on my m-f-e calendar. If one of these meetings is updated (say, the time is changed), the calendar is not updated.
3. On the web browser, there's no way to open links on new windows or create a new browser window. The browser knows how to switch windows if they're open by the website, but there's no way an user can open multiple windows.
4. I don't know how to sync a "mail for exchange" calendar manually, couldn't find it anywhere.
5. While searching for a way to sync my mail-for-exchange calendar, I tried a few "sync" options. I had nothing set up (no ovi account and the phone was not connected to a PC). I canceled every operation it was supposed to start and as a result of an software error somewhere, my full contact list was removed (zeroed). In other words, trying to find a way to sync my calendar, "I" ended up removing all my contacts.
6. After clicking on "Applications" on the menu/grid, it sometimes takes too long to open the next level (the applications menu/grid). I end up clicking a second time and thus opening the video-editor (the next icon gets the "click").
7. The phone keeps switching between wi-fi and 3G a lot, for no good reason. It also froze a few times when switching networks due to a bug somewhere in the network stack. It's a hard-to-reproduce problem, but anyway...
8. The battery status is not calculated correctly. It stays in 100% for too long and starts dropping only after it's close to 80-70%. I believe it's a tradition of Nokia/Symbian phones to keep the level at 100% for longer than expected (so that the user believes the phone is good at battery consumption), but it makes far less sense with smartphones;
9. I don't have a straightforward way to reproduce it, but some received calls are not associated with the respective contact, even though the number is correctly assigned to it (instead, the number is displayed). I even merged the just received call to the contact but new calls were still displayed as the number instead of the proper contact name. It used to work, I don't know why it doesn't anymore.
Main feedback points:
1. There should be no delay when switching "desktops" (workspaces);
2. Some widgets on the homescreen are too small (e-mail, social). There should be an option for double-sized widgets;
3. When answering or making a call, there are too many notifications ("requested modified", "active diverts", etc). I can't make/answer a call and imediatelly put it on speaker due to these;
4.. There's an inconsistency on the way "popup menus" are handled: in some cases clicking outside of the menu closes it, in some other places I have to click on "cancel" (personally, I prefer to just click outside of the menu to close it);
5. If the phone is blocked, I can't answer a call and put it on the speaker. That's very annoying (and the fact that using mail-for-exchange forces me to enable phone blocking doesn't help);
6. The speaker is badly positioned: leaving the phone facing up (speaker is on the back) over a soft surface (e.g: a bed) will make it difficult to hear it.
7. The browser is very very very weak. It's far below the expectations of a smartphone browser these days (usability wise);
8. Skype (I know, I know, it's a third-party application) is very buggy (lots of problems: internet connection, rendering problems, sensors not working, etc).
That said, I still have faith in this phone. The hardware is great (camera, GPS, industrial design in general) but as usual the software is the bad guy. Hopefully the next updates will improve the usability and reliability of the phone.
Cheers.

Very good analysis!!
I agree with your points I have the same problems! AND MORE
3. I also add that it is bugged and often just kicks me out, some pages are impossible to open as it keeps on kicking me out!!! Does not support column view, makes it tedious to read! The solution for now is use Opera mobile.
8- Yes, also the bars are very confusing and do not correspond to the percentages. It could show 6 ou of 7 bars (almos full), but when you look up the percentage is shows 40%!!
9- This problem could come from the fact that the number is introduced twice in our contacts, search and make sure it is not duplicated.
Fed backs
2- most of all there should be some way to easily indicate that we have new mail!! Like it does for missed calls and messages.
3- I hate the Nokia prompts, I do not understand they keep them on new models!!! Ridiculous! Still we now have less and are faster to disappear than what it was on the N95
5- I have the same problem!!! How come it was overlooked. All calling functions should be available when a call is received!
6- Skype and other applications are bugged and do not work properly, the worst for Skype is that you cannot have it connect to Wifi unless you put wifi as principal connection, a tediuos procedure. But Panorama is developed by Nokia and you can find it in OVI store, complete **bleep**!!!
I also add that one cannot select several SMS and delete them, you have to delete all or do it one by one!! Ridiculous
Managing Wifi in general is tedious
Even though you designate Opera as the default browser, it is not always so!
Here is more on the email server:
Sorry to inform that the Nokia N8 email server is inefficient and full of bugs:
1- When you want to open an email, you often get the retrieve sign and this could take up to several minutes! You get it again every time you want to answer or forward an email!
2- Some times emails get stuck in the "outbox". When this happens you are in deep trouble as the only thing you can do is erase it and start all over as it does not allow you to open it (unable to open while sending message), unable to move it to another folder and send it again, unable to force send it!
3- I set push email off from 10:30 pm to 6:00 am, so normally after 6:00 am, I should automatically get my emails, however it does not until I play with the phone and sometimes even recycle it.
3- It does not offer the resend option and in one has to tap the screen several times in order to get the keyboard for editing purpose
4- Does not have a column/wrap view for reading.
5- On the POP enterprise emails, there the problem is huge! Mega bugs: in addition to the problems/inefficiencies mentioned above, it does not keep a copy of the sent email in the "sent" box! This one is always empty. Does not send a deleted message to the "deleted items" box, emails are just lost in nature! And a couple times, once I downloaded my emails into Outlook on my PC, my Nokia just emptied my Inbox after it synchronized.
WE NEED AN URGENT FIX, ESPETIALLY FOR THE POP EMAIL BUGS. Once all of the above is fixed, then the Nokia N8 email server will be the best in the market (except for setting up POP email compared to BB, but this is just a one time inconvenience...)
Apparently NO BODY IN NOKIA IS LISTENING!!!

BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
BUGS
(Not listed in any particular order)
(A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
(B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
(C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
(D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
(E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
(F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
(G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
(H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
(I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
(J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
(K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
(In no particular order)
1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.

Java PDK Bugs and Issues

Here are some bugs and issues I've run across using the JPDK that I thought other
developers should be aware of. The following information comes from using JPDK
1.1 with Oracle Portal Version 3.0.6.3.3 Early Adopter on Windows 2000.
1) Do not use a colon character (':') in the String value returned by the method getTitle( Locale l ) in the class Portlet. Registering the provider will appear to succeed, but when you view the Portlet Repository you will get the following error message:
An Unhandled Exception has occurred. ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error:
character to number conversion error
Your provider and its portlets will not appear in the Portlet Repository when this error occurs.
Perhaps other characters will cause this error as well.
2) The Provider class method initSession() is supposed to propagate the array of returned Cookies back to the browser. The Cookies are never propagated to the browser. This is a huge road-block for our application and we need to have this problem fixed as there is no workaround.
3) There is a limit to the number of portlets you can have per provider. I initially wrote a provider class that managed 19 portlet classes. However, after registering the provider only 17 portlet classes were loaded by the provider and/or displayed by the Portlet Repository. I had to create a second provider to manage additional portlets. The second provider worked out fine for me because I have 5 portlets that are for "administrator" users only. Moving these portlets left 14 portlets for the first provider to manage.
Note: I don't know if this error occurs using the provider.xml method of implementing a provider and its portlets. My provider and portlets are implemented directly using the Java class API's.
4) Sometimes I will receive the error "Meta data missing for portlet ID=<number>" when a portlet is rendered for the first time. This error does not occur often but when the error happens two conditions are met:
a) The portlet is being rendered for the first time
b) The HTTP and Web Assistant NT services have recently been started.
This error is obviously caused by some timeout but increasing the timeout values
for both the provider and the portlet has no effect. This error may be restricted to the NT platform.
The following notes are not bugs but issues to be aware of:
1) Make sure you have the "sessiontimeout" parameter defined when declaring the initArgs of a servlet in the zone.properties file and you intend to register your provider with a "Login Frequency" of "Once per User Session". For example:
servlet.urlservlet.initArgs=debuglevel=1,sessiontimeout=1800000
If you leave off the session timeout, Oracle Portal will call your provider's initSession() method for every request constantly generating new a session ID.
2) Currently there is no means to check whether a ProviderUser has administrative
privileges. This feature would be extremely helpful for restricting which portlets a user has access to when the provider's getPortlets() method is called.
3) Currently there is no Java API for storing user and global preferences in the
Oracle database. The JPDK provides a PersonalizationManager class but the method
of storing the preferences needs to be implemented by the developer.
The default Personalization Manager persists user preferences as a file
to disk. However, this method opens up security holes and hinders scaleability.
We got around the security and scalability issues by using Oracle's JDBC
driver to persist user and global preferences to custom tables in the underlying Oracle database.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has run across the cookie propagation issue and has any further insights.
Thanks...

David,
Thank you for your feedback on the JPDK. The information you provide helps us understand how customers are using 9iAS
Portal and its development kits. I apologize for the delay in getting back with you. Since you are using the Early Adopters
release, we wanted to test a few of the bugs and issues on the production release of 9iAS Portal.
1) Using a colon character (:) in the String value returned by the method getTitle(Locale l) returned the ORA-06502 error is a
known issue. This issue actually occurs within 9iAS Portal and should be resolved in the first maintenance release scheduled
for 9iAS Portal.
Waiting on reply from Nilay on #1
2) The Provider class method initSession() not propagating the array of returned cookies back to the browser is an issue that we are currently working on. This bug has been fixed for most cases in the first maintenance release. A 100% fix of this issue is still being worked on.
3) The limit to the number of portlets you can have per provider was an issue in the Early Adopter release, but is no longer an issue with 9iAS Portal production. Upgrade to the production release and you should no longer see this problem.
4) The error "Meta data missing for portlet ID=<number>". I have not seen or heard about others receiving this same message. For this error, can you upgrade to the production version and let me know if you still receive this error message. At that time we can check for differences within the configuration.
Not bug, but issues......
1) You have made a good point with the sessiontimeout parameter. The JPDK uses servlet 2.0 APIs which does not provide access to the sessiontimeout. Currently, you will need to specify the sessiontimeout parameter in the zone.properties file.
2) This is true. Currently there is no means to check whether a ProviderUser has administrative privileges. This is on our features list for future enhancements.
3) This is also true. The DefaultPortletPersonalizationManager was created as a default runtime for developers not used to writing portlet code. It allows developers to write portlet code without concentrating on the underlying framework. Once a developer becomes more experienced with the JPDK and portlet environment, we encourage them to create their own
customization manager. This includes changing how the portlet repository is stored or changing how the user customization is
handled and where it is stored. You have no limitations as long as you follow the guidelines of the PortletPersonalizationManager interface.
I hope this information helped. Again, we appreciate and welcome this type of feedback, it helps us not only locate bugs and issues, but also helps prioritize our enhancement list.

In iOS 7.0.2 All and Missed tabs are not showing call history correctly

In iOS 7.0.2 All and Missed tabs are not showing call history correctly, I have iPhone 4 running iOS 7.0.2 version it looks like there is a bug. Missed call history and All calls (incoming, outgoing and missed) history is not showing properly in a list. Ideally when I click on missed it should show me recent missed call list and when I click on All it should show me (incoming, outgoing and missed) calls list sorted by current date and time.
I would like to request Apple developer team to look into this and fix this bug asap. Thanks in advance.

Bridge CS5 - Adding metadata to RAW files is hit and miss

Can someone help me??? Bridge CS5 will only add the metadata I enter to the files it feels like doing. It is hit and miss. Some files will add it, and other files will get the message "There was an error writing metadata to 100824_Banks_06.NEF". It will go through my whole folder of RAW files, then other times it will allow one or two of the files to get the information. I am going crazy! Is this a preference setting issue, or what?

Bridge is the weakest of all Adobe applications I use. It suffers from the same issues since its first release, when we were told to forgive the teething problems of any version 1 application. Now it's in version 4.x.
I actually spent most of the last two days wrestling with Bridge, and getty pretty annoyed with it. The "Error writing metadata" bug caused me no end of problems in trying to reorganise my keywording of 20,000 photos, and turning the air blue in the process.
I agree that Bridge seems to be the poor relation in the Creative Suite. I call it the Less Glamourous Sister. It needs to be 64-bit to host 64-bit Camera Raw, and it needs to manage resources faster and more efficiently.
I've spent a fair amount of time watching Bridge's activity with a resources monitor utility, and it's a very busy lady. It seems to poll several drives every second or two, accessing the registry, disk-based settings and library files regularly too, even when it appears to be doing nothing. And, even though I had indexed and cached my whole 20,000 photo collection, Bridge insists on recreating some thumbnails and previews at random intervals.*
I decided that the anti-virus software suggestion was a red herring in my case (I now realise this is the Mac forum anyway). Photos which gave an error became subsequently locked for several minutes, and I had to edit the sidecar files by hand. In the end, I worked out that, even though there is no on-screen indication of activity, Bridge is quietly working its way through every item in the Content pane, and it is this action which seems to coincide with the Metadata Error. Wait for it to end, and chances are much reduced, but not fully removed.
Oh, and Adobe's customer treatment might be debatable, but that helpful customer you quoted was a regular abuser of other forum users, so I like to see a silver lining from that post.

Since applying Feb 2013 Sharepoint 2010 CUs - Critical event log entries for Blob cache and missing images

Hi,
Since applying the February 2013 SharePoint 2010 updates, we are getting lots of entries in our event logs along the following:
Content Management Publishing Cache
5538 Critical
An error occurred in the blob cache. The exception message was 'The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)’
In pretty much all of these cases the image/ file in question that is reported in the ULS logs as missing is not actually in the collaboration site, master page / html etc so the fix needs to go back to the site owner to make the correction to avoid
the 404 (if they make it!). This has only started happening, I believe since feb 2013 sp2010 cumulative updates updates
I didn’t see this mentioned as a change / in the Fix list of the February updates. i.e. it flags up a critical error in our event logs. So with a lot of sites and a lot of missing images your event log can quickly fill up.
Obviously you can suppress them in the monitoring -> web content management ->publishing cache = none & none which is not ideal.
So my question is... are others seeing this and was a change made by Microsoft to flag a 404 missing image / file up a critical error in event log when blob cache is enabled?
If i log this with MS they will just say, you need to fix it up the missing files in the site but would be nice to know this had changed prior! I also deleted and recreated the blob cache and this made no diffference
thanks

I'm facing the same error on our SharePoint 2013 farm. We are on Aug 2013 CU and if the Dec CU (which is supposed to be the latest) doesn't solve it then what else could be done.
Some users started getting the message "Server is busy now try again later" with a corelation id. I looked up ULS with that corelation id and found these two errors in addition to hundreds of "Micro Trace Tags (none)" and "forced
due to logging gap":
"GetFileFromUrl: FileNotFoundException when attempting get file Url /favicon.ico The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)"
"Error in blob cache. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002)"
"Unable to cache URL /FAVICON.ICO. File was not found"
Looks like this is a bug and MS hasn't fixed it in Dec CU..

Keyword Bugs and Some Keywording Improvement / Feature Suggestions

Tagging Bugs and Some Improvement / Feature Suggestions
Please excuse where I should use the word Tag or Keyword or vice versa!
1.       BUG?    If a tag synonym is added or changed then all affected photos should be marked for re-publish. I do not think this currently happens.   Should this possibly be considered a bug?
2.       BUG?    When viewing a smart collection in a Flickr publish service and a new tag is added to a photo it is correctly moved to the “requires re-publish” section.   However … the thumb selection in the grid moves to the next photo, the loop view remains on the photo just tagged and the key wording still reflects the just tagged photo.    The selection shown in the grid appears to be wrong.      When working quickly this can result in tagging errors as the user looking on the grid believes he is working on the next highlighted photo in the grid.      This is surely a bug?
3.       BUG?      A minor point and I realise this is probably not the correct way to do things … but a double word synonym entered with quotes for example “Ice Climbing” will create two tags “Ice” and “Climbing” at the flicker end of things.    Removal of this synonym and forcing a re-publish does not delete these two tags at the flicker end of things.    I may have miss-understood, but perhaps it is best for LR not to allow quoted tags?
4.       SUGGESTION      An easier and more powerful way to review tagging of current photos should be provided whereby it is possible to clearly see the current tagging of a photo and have immediate access to the keyword list at the same time to make corrections.    Having both the Keywording and Keyword List panels open in Library mode results in a lot of up and down scrolling for me and is a slightly inelegant UI in my opinion.   I would suggest it should at very least be possible to have the tags viewable in Loop info as an option - so long as no truncation is made and all tags visible.    Ideally a better way should be sought.
5.       SUGGESTION      It would be very useful when reviewing tagging to select to show all photos in the currently selected folder or set which do not contain the selected tag.    Note, I don’t think this can be easily achieved by using a keyword filter and selecting all keywords and unselecting the tag of interest as the pictures may have many tags.    The same might be performed by textual based searches but this is inelegant and its slowness precludes a browsing approach.     For example – for me it would be useful to look at all my mountain shots in a trip which have not been tagged with “Glacier” and it will be immediately visually apparent where I need to make tagging corrections.    I would suggest a “Not” checkbox is made available on the top of each column in the library filter – this may also provide a great deal of power for other situations.
6.       SUGGESTION      It would be useful to allow a means of showing all pictures with a certain tag but which have not been tagged yet with any children of said tag.   For example all pictures tagged with Glacier which I have not yet named the glacier by introducing a relevant child tag or selecting an existing child tag.    A similar situation occurs for wildlife and potentially many other scenarios … I would like to use a tag “Butterfly” which I can quickly use on my first pass… and then do the identification and child tagging on a second pass using appropriate filtering.   This allows for a step wise or “top down” approach to tag classifying things in a workflow.    I appreciate this can be achieved (as I do now) by using a child tag called “Unnamed butterfly” or “Unnamed Glacier” but it seems more powerful, elegant and generically applicable to be able to filter on a “not tagged with a child” basis.
I apologise if I have missed the point on some existing functionality on any of these points and welcome any suggestions.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.

When I enable imatch on my iPhone 4s it takes approximately 30 minutes before other data fills 13.2gb of usable data. This problem does not occur when I manually sync music to my phone. Is this a common bug, and if so; is there a fix?

yes it is. you can sign out of itunes account then sign back in. use http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311 to sign out.

Is there a setting or an app that shows e-mail notifications without having to unlock the screen...like SMS and missed calls?

Is there a setting or an app for the iPhone 4 that allows you to see that you have new mail messages from the "lock screen" like SMS and missed call messages? My primary e-mail account is MS Exchange and I'm running iOS 5. Thanks!
