NFC payments (Timme Me app) on PlayBook 10.3.1 not working as well as Z30 10.3.1

I've been using my Passport as my daily driver since launch, but one thing I missed about it was that NFC payments with the Timme Me app have been problematic / spotty: many times it fails completely and I have to resort to using the "barcode" like a commoner (i.e. "iphone user" :-P)
I reverted to my Z30 since it got the 10.3.1 update and as it was before I switched, the NFC payment works first time, every time.
Is there something about NFC on 10.3.1 on the Passport in particular that is somehow "different" than NFC on the Z30? 
NFC seems to work for other use cases like browsing on my Z30 and holding the device back to back with my Passport opens the associated web page on my Passport, so I think the NFC chip itself is working... but I can't figure out why it's so problematic  on my Passport, and really do want this to work. It is very frustrating to be on the express train to the future of mobile payments and get stared at because I'm holding up the line with the equivalent of being on that express train playing my music too loud. It's just rude!
Is there a solution for this, either possible or in the works... or is it my hardware?

I may be wrong, but I believe NFC payment is enabled in the SIM card, while other NFC functions are direct between devices.  Since you're using two different SIMs it may be that the SIM in your passport is defective. If you have a Nano-Micro carrier, you could insert your Passport SIM in the Z10 and see. Or buy a new SIM (usually ~$5) and try that.

  • My music app on my iphone 5 is not working properly since I downloaded ios7.

    The music app on my iphone 5 is not working properly since I downloaded ios7.
    Sometimes I start to use the music app and then part way though a track it stops. I try to re-start it with no joy. I'm also finding the touch screen is less responsive. Can any help me fix the issue or will I need to take it into the store?

    Removing the SIM has no affect on the power of the phone. It is just the part that facilitates connecting to your carrier. Try holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo on the screen and then release the buttons. The phone should reboot. You may need to hold the buttons together for 15-30 seconds.

  • Regarding after updating my iphone4 with itunes in laptop after completing,when iam trying to use apps on my iphone4 they are not working

    Hi everybody,
    From last week when iam syncing my iphone with my laptop and updating songs or apps iam facing some problems.
    1) While iam trying to update my iphone with itunes for updating songs.First in library in itunes i will remove old songs and will update new songs,then after syncing with itunes my iphone4 it must show in music only new songs not old songs.but for me both mix it showing for me old and new songs.I tried in manual option also then also it showing same mix songs.please tell me how to over come this problem.I tried my removing update backup also then also it is not showing any advantage in it.
    2) Another problem is while iam updating my iphone4 with itunes it automatically sync the apps also but after completing the update when iam trying to use apps in my iphone they are not working.
    Please help me how to solve from these problems.

    No NAS other than an Apple one includes native support for AFP. They all use an open source package called Netatalk that is junk. Many years ago Apple deprecated the old security modules that Netatalk uses.
    The easiest solution is to hack up Lion so that it will connect with the old security protocol. Do a search for "lion dhx2" or something like that. Another option is to update your NAS to a version of Netatalk that includes support for DHX2. That is easier said than done. Netatlk isn't as "open" as other open source packages.

  • Why my apps are not transferring from PC to iPhone 5? When I connected to PC the icon shows when I select apps it show 'will install' but it never show on iPhone, I re installed iTunes, deleted all apps and downloaded again but its not working pls help.

    Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

  • LaserJet Pro MFP M125nw - Scan to app All-in-One Remote does not work

    Hi gurus,
    Basically I have pruchased that super-printer and I am now trying to achieve scan to my mobile devices.
    I have one iPad 2 on iOS 7, on 2 Android devices (smaller tablet and phone) both running Kitkat 4.4.2
    I am trying to submit a scan from all these devices and retrieve the output within my mobile devices, actually this is fairly described here and concerns accurately my printer model :  http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02486319&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&destPage=pr...
    Unfortunately, What happens :
    - From my iPad, the AiO app states that my printer is not compatible with the application !!
    - From my 2 Android devices, the All-in-One Remote app will work fine, except the scan feature as nothing happens (well, when tapping either 'Preview' or 'Scan' button in the Scan section, I see a 'Cancel' button during 0,1 second and I am back to that scan section)
    Any one could help please ???
    This question was solved.

    Hello,
    Can no one help ?
    Is the product description misleading ? Is the AiO app not really reasy to support this printer ?

  • SharePoint server 2013 Search Service App on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

    Hi all,
    I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows  server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox.  I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM
    was set up to access the DC server.  Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate
    to search service app admin page, it gives error info:
    System status:  The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is
    in a good state and try again.
    Search Application Topology:  Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
    From event viewer, I see following errors:

    Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem
    with Search Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
    Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that  SharePoint server 2013 Search Service App did not work on Windows server 2012 R2.
    Please make sure you configure Search Service Application correctly. You can refer to:Create and configure a Search service application in SharePoint Server 2013
    I recommend to created new Search Service Application, and made a full crawl. Then assigned the new SSA as the default SSA for webapplications. Finnlay checked  the issue doesnt occur now,
    If all search related components now are online, to keep the enviroonment clean, you can delete the old SSA.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • File Attributes from App Server by RFC (GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES does not work )

    Hello,
    We have an Objects application that is started through an RFC BAPI call from a Java app. The Java app. passes a file to the BAPI. We want to test, as efficiently as possible, if the file is 0 bytes long. We have tried /epsf/get_file_attributes but there is a problem with it being called remotely. We have Remote Enabled the function module. Local tests work fine (GUI User), but when it is called by the Bapi(Technical User) we receive sy-subrc = 2. I think it is referring to a 'Communication Error'.
    I found a nice class, CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES for the workstation server, but nothing comparable for the application server.
    Help is greatly appreciated as I am pulling my hair out.
    Best Regards,
    Mark Lengel

    Hello Andreas,
    The GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES fm is also from the EPS Function Group and provides the file size, it just does not work when called from Rfc/Bapi. Won't the GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING fm just return directory info ?
    I am afraid I will have to resort to the OPEN, READ, CLOSE DATASET steps in order to check for a zero length file.
    Regards,
    Mark

  • HT201359 can i get a refund on a app i purchased being it is not working and is crashing everytime i attempt to use it on my iPhone after setting up the laptop version?

    No need to post your billing info here. This is a public forum. In any case, have you tried to check with the developer for support to get it going first? What do you have to lose.
