Newbie Questions/Comments - SMS and Instant Messaging

I am a new iPhone 3G owner. Before the iPhone I used a SideKick and a BlackBerry. Between those 2 the BlackBerry was my favorite. The email, IM and TXT messaging was great. Now I have the iPhone and I like it but have 2 MAJOR gripes:
*1. SMS* - When txting with someone from my old provider (T-Mobile) the txts are REAL slow. Several minutes pass before receipt. I did a test and sent and received txts from someone on the Verizon network and had no problems. Does anyone know what would be causing this?
*2. Instant Messaging* - Now this is my biggest gripe. Instant Messaging is non-existent. Why is this? It used to be my primary means of communication.
There was another one but I can't remember it right now. Any insight to either of these would be appreciated. I've never spent so much time trying to figure out a phone.

For number 2, this is well known design limitation of the iPhone. The iPhone does not allow background applications to run, so if your phone goes to sleep or you leave the IM screen, then IM is shutdown.
Apple is supposed to release a background notification service, but it is past the launch date, and no one knows when it will show up.
If realtime always on IM is a must have, then the iPhone is not a good choice.

Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue. I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all. Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

Is it possible to play different sounds for emails and instant messages ?

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to play different sounds for emails and instant messages. I am using Thunderbird quite often with both emails and instant messages imported from Gtalk.
I think it would be very convenient to be able to distinguish both sounds as they do not imply the same things.
Thank you very much.

Best way to view iPhone sms and imessage messages from backup

Hello I have sms and imessage messages that I would like to export from my phone or computer to be viewed on another device. I know there is a way to view texts through third party software and I was wondering if there is one that is particularly good at it or if there was a native way to do it? Any help would be much appreciated as these texts will be used as evidence in a court case so some kind a log format with timestamps would be ideal.

I actually purchased GoodReader because it is easy to transfer files without iTunes. I dislike the file sharing through iTunes. You can use a Mac or PC. Once I was in the app I clicked the "Wi-Fi" symbol which brings me to "WiFi-transfer." It will show this --
"WiFi status: ON
Use one of the following addresses exactly as you see them
1. IP-address: http://192.168.0.98:8080 <-- Local LAN address the iPhone is broadcasting on.
2. Bonjour-address http://Myname-iPhone.local:8080"
All you have to do is type one of those addresses into your browser. (Safari, etc.)
It will take you to a page that has iPhone Connection and a list of options. You can either create a new directory within the application or use an existing one to upload a text file. It's rather simple, you just select "Choose a file to upload" > Select your file > Press upload > Start the app and see your text/pdf/whatever file.
You can also connect to a server to download a text file, browse the web, or enter a url. I see it also has an ICloud folder which I'm not sure if it integrates with Apple's iCloud or not, I think it does. I'm not affliated with the app and I'm not saying you have to buy it, I'm just a happy user.
If you don't want to buy this app let me know I'll keep looking for a free or cheaper one for you if you want.

Contact list and instant messages

Can people on your contact list read your instant messages to someone different on your contact list or can they only see what you IM to them personally?

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, but in one-on-one chat, the only persons who can see the messages that you sent is you and the contact that you are chatting with.

Can I recover sms and mms messages if I have never backed up my iphone?

Hello,
I am completely new to the Apple family and am having a hard time understanding how the initial backup to iCloud affects my deleted iMessages, SMS, and MMS correspondences. I want to recover a group of SMS and MMS conversations that my toddler deleted...I know...I know - so green I did not even initiate the lock screen. To be honest, we don't lock devices in our home. I have never backed-up/signed into iCloud from my iphone. I keep seeing posts about texts/pic not being "really" deleted as some can find them in a search. Is it possible to recover these at all without using thrid party software? Some part of me believes that becasue I have never backedup my phone, the deleted data is just waiting to be "dumped" into iCloud...maybe that is the illogical and sleep deprived part. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you “Synced” your iPhone "SMS" to iTunes and/or backup to the cloud, you may be able to recover messages from an iPhone SIM Card. I use a program called iOS data recovery that will take the text messages from the backup and allow you to restore them and/or back them up to an external application.
Restore from iTunes backup:
Step 1: Connect your iPhone to the PC/Mac
Step 2: Open iTunes
Step 3: Click on Devices tab
Step 4: Right-click on the iPhone that’s connected and click ‘Backup’
Step 5: Note that this will effectively remove all old information on your iPhone and get the backup data on your iPhone. If you had backed up sms too in your previous iTunes backup, those will be restored to the iPhone and you should mostly recover that deleted sms messages now.

Collaboration and Instant Messaging

Has anyone setup Instant Messaging with Collaboration?
How does it work? Issues? Benefits? Firewall issues?
Any info would be great!
Thanks!

Hi Arun,
after installing EP6.0 with KMC you need to do some basic configuration in order to prepare the system for using collaboration. Please take a look at this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/01/f7e626b95d8d46b8f4f7d764a726fc/frameset.htm
Check that all that basic configuration is done. For accessing the Collaboration Launchpad you will need to do the steps described under "Configuring the masthead for Collaboration" (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/96/785b5fdf4b6b4088034976d9186789/frameset.htm)
Hope this helps,

Newbie questions on fms and actionscript 3

Ok, like I said I'm a newbie, but I do understand the differance between ssas and as3. Not all, but all most everything I see written in SSAS can be writen into a external AS3 file. This leads me to quite a few questions I'm hoping you kind people can shed some light on for me.
1) What is the advantage of writing a SSAS file over an external AS3 file?
2) Can I write an .asc file in AS3 or do I have to use AS1? Please understand I'm using tuts from fmsguru.com and the books "Learning Flash Media Server" (pdf) and "Programming Flash Communication Server". I'm not a javascript programmer so nothing I do in AS1 seems to make any sence while everything I do in AS3 does. It may not seem like it to you people that are programmers, but to those of us that aren't, AS1 and AS3 are miles apart.
3) kind of off topic, but a security question. I'm not a "hacker" and don't like the jerks that are. My question is on external AS / SSAS files and swf files. When my fla is compiled into a swf does my external AS files remain external? I assume they do, but then what is the threat of the swf being decompiled? In most projects I would do I could care less if somebody had access to my fla as long as they don't have my actionscript files.
I don't know. Maybe on questions one and two I'm getting confused becasue I'm using out dated material. Again I assume that even though fms was built off of the javascript engine it should be able to read and execute my AS3 file. Other wise what was the point of the evolution of actionscript into a fully functional programming language?
Thanks for any help you might have...

1) I did not get this question correcly - for that matter SSAS can only be in AS1 - so i dont see reason comparing them
2) It has to be AS1
3) if you doing "include" stuff - i think code would go into compiled swf and proper decompiler would give you the code.
Last para - Server-side engine understands only AS1 so it wont be able to read and understand your AS3 file.

Newbie Question: Java -Xmx and other settings...

Hi all I have a simple question,
I know that you can use the -Xms and -Xmx to set the heap size, but when I run this command is it permanent or do I have to set it each time I boot up my Windows system? How do tell what the current heap size is?
I would be grateful for any help.
Thanks!

My dear Friend,
if you are running your program with
java -Xmx 1024 -Xms 500 ....
This values you are using are like jvm arguments and you have to provide them everytime you are running your program.....

Newbie question about component and UDF usage.

This will be the 1st time I'm coding a component and UDF. I
kind of understand the concept but not sure about how to write it
in detail.Such as passing the parameter, etc.
I'm starting to write a user login, verifying users before
allowing them to enter into the app.
So I have 2 fields in my login form, Login and password.
Upon submitting this form, on the actionpage.cfm I'm calling
a component. This is how I call the component:
<CFINVOKE Component="cfc/loginaction"
Method="AuthentiCateUser" ReturnVariable="UserInfo">
Then in my Component I have the following:
<CFCOMPONENT>
<CFFUNCTION Name="AuthentiCateUser" RETURNTYPE="Query"
hint="Use for user login">
<CFARGUMENT Name="login" Type="Structure"
Required="true">
<CFARGUMENT Name="password" Type="Structure"
Required="true">

<CFQUERY NAME="Authenticate" DATASOURCE="sendfast">
SELECT * FROM tblcustomer WHERE Login = '#Login#' AND
Password = '#Password#'
</CFQUERY>
<CFRETURN AuthentiCateUser>
</CFFUNCTION>
</CFCOMPONENT>
When I run this code, I got error, it said :
The parameter LOGIN to function AuthentiCateUser is required
but was not passed in.
The error occurred in
C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\KDt_Mod\userloginaction.cfm: line 18
16 : <CFSET
UserLoginInfo["Password"]="#Form.Password#"> 17 : 18 :
<CFINVOKE Component="cfc/loginaction" Method="AuthentiCateUser"
ReturnVariable="UserInfo">
19 :
My question is:
What should I do in order to pass #Form.Login# and
#Form.Password# to my UDF within my component?
I'm using CFMX 6 and Micrisift SQL 8

I've applied cfinvokeargument and my login and password were
passed to my component.
But I'm facing new problem: Where should I write my
authentication? should I write user authentication within my
component or
loginaction.cfm (the calling template)
What I mean by authentication is something like this:
<CFIF #Authenticate.RecordCount# IS NOT 0>
<cfset session.CustomerID
="#Authenticate.customerid#">
<cfset session.Name ="#Authenticate.Name#">
<CFCOOKIE NAME="UserLoginIn"
VALUE="12345_pn#Authenticate.customerid#">
<cflocation url="index.cfm?loc=home">
<CFELSE>
<script language="JavaScript">
alert("Username/password is not found, plese try again");
history.go(-1);
</script>
<cfabort>
</CFIF>
If I keep this code in my loginaction.cfm what is returned
from my function is not recognized by the component, the error said
Authenticate.RecordCount is not recognized.
Also I'm still confuse with what should I put in the
RETURNTYPE. If I put query, it gave me error, also, what is
returned by CFRETURN.
This is my component:
<CFCOMPONENT>
<CFFUNCTION Name="AuthentiCateUser" RETURNTYPE="Query"
hint="Use for user login">
<CFARGUMENT Name="login" Type="Structure"
Required="true">
<CFARGUMENT Name="password" Type="Structure"
Required="true">

<CFQUERY NAME="Authenticate" DATASOURCE="sendfast">
SELECT * FROM tblcustomer WHERE Login = '#Login#' AND
Password = '#Password#'
</CFQUERY>
<CFRETURN AuthentiCateUser>
</CFFUNCTION>
</CFCOMPONENT>

Newbie question about entity and view objects

Hi everyone,
My first ADF application in JDeveloper is off to a difficult start. Having come from a forms background, I know that it is necessary avoid using post-query type lookups in order to have full filtering using F11/Ctrl+F11. This means creating an CRUDable view and getting as much of the lookup data as possible into the view without losing the ability to modify the data. In JDeveloper, I do not know how to build my data model to support that. My thought was to start with a robust updateable view as my main CRUD EO and then create a VO on top of that with additional EOs or VOs. But, I have found that I cannot add VOs to another VO. However, if I link the VOs then I have a master-detail which will not work for me.
For example, I have two joins to CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V shown in the queries below and need to have that show in the table displaying the CRUD VO’s data. It seemed that the best way to do this is to create a CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V entity object and view object. The view object would have two parameters, P_INSTANCE_ID and P_ATTRIBUTE name. Both the building and the unit are needed on the same record, and this is not a master-detail even though it might look that way. (A master-detail data control will not work for me because I need all this data to appear on the same line in the table.) So, I need help figuring out the best way to link these to the main (CRUD) view; I want as much of this data as possible to be filterable.
select
cieav.attribute_value
from
csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
and cieav.attribute_code = 'BUILDING NAME'
select
cieav.attribute_value
from
csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
and cieav.attribute_code = 'UNIT NAME'
Ultimately, I need to display a ton of data in each record displayed in the UI table, so a ton of joins will be needed. And, I need to be able to add records using the UI table also.
James

Hi Alejandro,
Sorry if I caused confusion with my first post. What I had in mind assumed that I could have a single CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V EO with a BuildingVO and UnitVO on top of it. So, I wrote the queries individually to show how I would invoke each view. When I realized that confused the issue, I rewrote the query to explain things better.
Now having seen your 2 queries. You need to create 2 EO. One for each table. Then create an association between the 2 aeO (this will be the join you are talking about). Then, you need to create a VO based on one of the EO and after you can modify and add the second EO (in here you select the join type).
After your done with this, youll have 1 VO that supports CRUD in both tables.
There were three tables in the query: CIEAV_BUILDING, CIEAV_UNIT, and T -- the main CRUD table. When you say that I should create two EOs, do you mean that they are to be for CIEAV_BUILDING and CIEAV_UNIT? Or, CIEAV and T? Assuming CIEAV and T, that sounds like it would allow me to show my building or unit on the record but not both.
By the way, everything is a reference except for the main CRUD table.
Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your help (and patience).

Newb question: page size and bindings

Hi all,
I'm having trouble with two things (probably many more to come).
1) In the "discover berkeley" presentation, it said I could change the page size in my database. Where is that configurable?
2) I've read in the manuals that to store values in a key-value pair, I can use an entity (which I am currently using), or I can make it serializable, or creating bindings. My objects are currently composed of 2 ints, a short, a double, and a byte[8]. It's not a complex object, so I don't believe I need to use the serializable stored class catalog or the custom bindings. Is that not the case?
The entity option seems the easiest. Is it slower to use or something?
The serializable option makes it sound like I can only store a single primitive. Is that right?
Please let me know - any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Julian

Julian,
Page size is an parameter for the C version of Berkeley DB. We're on the Java Edition forum, so perhaps you mean to be on the forum for the C product - Berkeley DB
Have you had a chance to read through http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/GettingStartedGuide/bindAPI.html ? That's a short overview to bindings, while a comprehensive writeup that walks you through how to pick a binding is at http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/collections/tutorial/collectionOverview.html#UsingDataBindings.
But before you delve too deeply into bindings, you should consider using the Direct Persistence Layer API. That will let you use store and retrieve Java objects directly from Berkeley DB Java Edition or Berkeley DB without managing bindings explicitly.
Regards,
Linda

SMS and MMS message failure...

Hello!
I would like to suggest a feature to be built in to the next iOS update.
If a message fails to send due to lack of signal etc... It would be much better if the phone automatically re tried to send the message when possible. Rather than us manually having to resend! My previous Nokia's have been doing that for years!
Thanks!
