N86 no satfix in Australia

Hi,
I'm from Germany and currently staying in Ausralia for vacation. In germany the gps was working fine but here in Sydney the GPS Data just shows that it receives about 8-10 sattelites but the signal seems to be not good, because it always says "waiting for gps data".
AFAIK GPs should be the same everywhere on the globe so what could be the problem here?
Thanks!

You are correct that GPS network covers the globe, but I think that you will find the Assisted GPS feature which requires a network connection is not functioning; without this feature and relying entirely upon Integrated GPS it can take anything up to 20 minutes outside to get that first positional fix again in different part of the world.
More information on Positional methods here:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/n86-8mp/how-to/maps/use-gps
You don't say whether "roaming" or using local SIM but may have to re-define access point for positional server to get Assisted GPS working.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

Nokia N86 Australia Release date - When?

Hi all,
Does anybody know where the N86 will be released in Australia? I'm desperate to own one to replace my old and trustworthy N95.
I was going to upgrade to the N85, but then Nokia announced the N86, so I decided to wait a bit longer.
Cheers,
Carsten - Perth, W Australia.

Going to Australia and need help with Power converters

Facts:
US uses 110v on 60hz
Australia 220v on 50hz
Making sure I understood that correctly. Devices I plan on bringing that will use power are PS3 Slim, MacBook Pro 2008 model, and WD 1TB External HDD. My DS, and Cell are charging via USB to save trouble of other cables.
Ideas I've had or thought of:
1. Get a power converter for a US Powerstrip, and then plug in my US items into the strip and then the strip into an AUS Converter into Australian outlet. Not sure if this fixes the voltage/frequency change.
2. Get power converters for all my devices. But, not sure if my devices needs ways of lowering the voltage/increasing frequency or something to help with the adjustment.
3. Buy a universal powerstrip, which is extremely costly and I wouldn't be able to have here in time (I leave Thursday). Unless Best Buy carrys one.

Check the specs on input voltage/frequency of your power supplies.
Many laptop power supplies are "universal/global" and are specced something like 80-265 volts AC 50/60 Hz, but not all. These will just need a connector adapter.
Unsure about the PS3 Slim - if it isn't universal it could be difficult as you'll need a 110/220 transformer, one big enough (power-handling wise) for the PS3 will be very bulky.
For the external WD HDD, if it doesn't have a universal supply, you're probably best off just finding a new wallwart for it that is capable of running on 220/50.

I can't send email from my iPad. I am from Australia but on holidays in Greece. Does anyone know what is the smtp outserver for Greece that I should use?

As you haven't told us who your email provider is, no.
There isn't an SMTP server for Greece - it is either provided by your email provider, or the Internet provider you are connected through.

Power button and other functions on my Nokia N86 s...

After I downloaded a few applications for my Nokia N86, the slider preferences (i.e. the sound clips that play when opening/closing the slider; the answer/hang up call function; and the key lock) stopped working. Some apps refuse to open (no response). Also, when I push the power button on top of the phone, it does absolutely nothing, thus I cannot turn my phone off.
I am affraid to take the battery out and let the phone power down then up because the power button might not be able to turn it on.
This occurred after I downloaded a few apps off of cnet.com. Here is a list of my downloaded apps with the most recently downloaded ones listed first:
F-Secure (anti virus added and scanned after problem started - no viruses present)
Handywi (wifi locator)
fring (social networking bundle)
DivX player
Google app (m.google.com/app)
Google maps
Opera Mini (web browser that now refuses to open)
HNN Soft Talking Dictionary (Chinese/English that now refuses to open)
What should I do???
(Yes, I have the most current software update)
(Not sure if it matters, but I live and bought the phone in Taipei, Taiwan)

Satellite M70-340: Question about warranty if I buy in Russia and move to Australia

I'd like to buy notebook Satellite M70-340 here in Russia. Next month I'm going to move to Australia. What about the warranty in this case?
Will I have to pay if some trouble occurs?
How can I recognise a laptop which is officially sold (= i mean legally delivered and has a worldwide warranty)?
Thanx a lot for your answer!

Hi
I dont know what you mean with officially sold and I hope you will buy notebook in PC store and not on the street. As far as I know every new notebook has one year international warranty but if you will stay longer you can buy warranty extension. It must be buying by authorized service partner in your country.
If you have troubles in Australia go to service partner and they will check if the unit is stolen or official soled. After that it can be repaired. As I said, contact Authorized Toshiba service partner in Russia and ask for warranty extension.

Mid Year Go Live-Australia and New Zealand

Hi,
We are implementing Mid Year Go Live for payroll for Australia and New Zealand.
In case of India, we have schema INLK and list of technical wage types that need to be uploaded to T558B and T558C.
SAP has delivered a note for Payroll India which gives the list of Technical wage types.
Pls suggest what are the technical wage types to be uploaded for Australia and New Zealand and the schema to be used for Mid Year Go Live.
Regards
Yashika

Hi,
as far as i know, there is no such schema or special wage types except the ones that are used for LSMW before go live.
In india, they might need the schema or technical wagetypes for the taxation purposes i guess which is different from AU or NZ.
but australia/newzealand have simplified the taxation for software provides.
Regards,
LG

Issues with using English (Australia)

We are trying to utilize English (Australia) for one of our instances and are running into issues.
1. In the User Profile (Profile and Preferences) popup, we selected the Free Text Language to be ENGLISH and the UI Language to be "English Australia"
2. We loaded a few Additives in English Australia language (LangID=19) into the Additives table. Flushed the Cache. And Reset IIS (being paranoid here)
3. Logged out (closed all IE Browsers) and logged back into GSM
4. We notice that all the date formats are now in Australian format (dd/mm/yyyy) - which means our user profile settings worked
5. But when we open the Additives popup to select Additives, it still shows the English US name instead of the name corresponding to English Australia
Are we missing a step? We also tried to set the NLS and MLS settings in the SupportedLanguages table to enable EnglishANZ using an SQL Script and then reset IIS and logged in, but it does not seem to help.
Please help!

Setting the SupportLanguage for EnglishANZ in table SupporedLangauges to Active is causing issues in UGM - understandably.
Hence, I am assuming that when v6.1.0 was shipped, the enumbs for languages were turned OFF to have only the basic languages. The various cultures of English are primarily just that - Cultures and not Langauges.
Is that right?

Hi, I did some searching here at the forum and found this post. Seems that a possible way to update could be using the stand alone program "Nokia software updater" and if it fails too, like the post linked to below, you can run it in compatibility mode, and as an admin.
Take a look here and give it a try if you cannot get Ovi suite working:/t5/Software-Updates/E75-update-using-ovi-suite-always-errors-12017/m-p/879597#M83558

So many wireless questions in my move to australia--HELP

I'm moving to australia and I have many questions--please forgive the length of this. First I had been waiting for the Palm Centro to move to Verizon because my Tungsten E is dying. Now that I'm moving I'm going to need to buy a cell phone in Australia--versus trying to get an unlocked one here I think. I see that they have Centro, but not with the big server Vodafone, which leads me back to the iphone. I avoided it because I don't want to pay for all the services I don't need. All I want is the PDA to link with my iBook G4 (still with Panther) easily to have all my contacts from my Tungsten E. I hear Palm may even be discontinuing the PDA's all together so I really do need to make the move. Yet the other big PDA, the blackberry doesn't sync easily with the mac from what I hear and read. Anybody have suggestions about a good solid phone/pda that I can use in Australia with my iBookG4? Can I spend just $199 here on an Iphone bring it with me, hook it up there with Vodafone and just use it as a phone/pda without any of the internet features?
Second question is related to communication when I first land in Australia to my husband in LA. I was told that I could use my ibook at any airport with Skype. Is this true? How? I have airport for our wireless SBC modem here, but Im guessing I would need some special USB unit. but is that the way to go. I was thinking to buy an international Mobal phone for $50 just to have for the first few days until I get internet set up over there and can start trying to figure out skype? I suppose I could try a phone card from a payphone but $50 seems like a small price to pay for communication in the beginning...unless there is a brilliant idea I hadn't considered (hence my writing here)
I am really clueless here. any suggestions, websites, links I should consider would be very appreciated. More than I can say since there are a million other details about this move that are taking up space in my head.
thank you in advance.

Same thing happened to me and I did a reset twice but the problem doesn't go away. It's Apple's video player that has problems. You don't want to reset it every time it happens, right? Get another video player, any player will do. I got flex player for free. Now I don't have any problems playing my videos any more.

I am trying to redeem a digital copy of a film in Australia from a DVD i bought while in the UK, i get an error message saying this film is only intended for UK and Ireland users. Is there a way to counteract this so i can upload it to my ipad?

I bought Hangover 2 while i was back in the UK and brought it back to Australia with me, it's a Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital copy, i went to redeem the digital copy back in Australia through Itunes but it says the Code is only redeemable in the UK and Ireland. Is there anyway to get around this?

Not legally, and I don't even know if there is a way illegally (which would violate the Terms Of use of this service anyway).

I could not get my iPhone 5 which purchased in Australia repaired by apple in the US. Guys from apple retail store verified a replacement for me and asked to call apple care. However, apple care said they cannot get it fixed nor repaired.

My iPhone 5 got some defects and I went to a apple reatil store yesterday. The guy from the genius bar told me that he verified a replacement for me. And I need to call 1-800-apple care to finish that process. I called apple care and one of the senior supervisors told me that I have to send it back to Australia (where I bought this iPhone) to get it repaired. Turns out I could not solve the problem after a apple store vist and several calls. I just want to know if there any way to solve this. This iPhone is a factory unlocked one that purchased in an apple retail store in Melbourne at the day it was first released. And my experience today is not what I can tell as fair. I will be really appreciate for any helps and advices. Thanks.

Warranty on iPhone is not international, but valid only in country of
original sale. Since you purchased the iPhone in Australia, your warranty
is valid only in Australia. You must either personally return the iPhone
to Australia for evaluation and possible replacement or sent it to someone
in Australia to take into Apple for the evaluation. Apple will not accept
international shipments for repair nor will Apple ship out of the country
after replacement.
Sorry to be the bearer of this news, but it is the way iPhone warranty and
replacement has always worked.
