Notable change in 3G behavior after 2.0.1

As I've mentioned in some other topics, I have an iPhone 3G that I consider to work very well. It gives me good reception in most areas around town (Pasadena/Los Angeles), but I didn't move from another 3G device so I can't compare. There have been a few posts suggesting that reception has improved since the update, but I doubt the update did anything to make reception "better." I can however confirm, for certain, that the behavior of my iPhone has changed when it comes to 3G and Edge.
In my office I've never had good reception. Not with the original iPhone, not with my Sony Ericsson before that, and not with the new iPhone 3G. In fact, as soon as I get to my office parking lot, my iPhone 3G switches to Edge. Until today, I've never seen my iPhone 3G connected to the 3G network in my office. It's been on Edge exclusively while here.
Now, as I type this, my iPhone sits on 3G (with 1 bar of course). The -db vacillates between -100 & -105. It's been on 3G all day long. So apparently the update changed how aggressively the iPhone hands off from 3G to Edge based on signal strength. Is that better? Not sure yet.

I kinda have a less optimistic observation. I also have what I consider a good iPhone 3G specimen being able to compare it with my prior 3G Blackjack.
I'm not sure but after updating yesterday to 2.0.1 I noticed that my iPhone now tends to stay at 5 bars Edge where it previously had 5 bars 3G. Before update the phone will momentary be at Edge when I take it off from the pocket or exit elevator and then pretty fast it'll switch back to 3G. Now under same conditions it seems to stay at Edge almost indefinitely. Rebooting switches it back to 3G. I'm afraid that now Apple decided to err on a side of caution and is trying to keep iPhone on Edge as long as possible. Before that people (not me) were complaining that iPhone will try to hold on onto 3G even when there basically were no signal.

  • SPA504G phone change in phone behavior after firmware upgrade

    Hello,
         I have a SPA504G phone that was set up with a speed dial to 800 which initiates the page all feature of the phone.  On the previous firmware I ran (7.4.8) That light was in a solid green state.  I have recently upbraded to firmware 7.5.2b and now that key is blinking orange.  The key still functions as intended and the paging works but I need to know how to get this light to show up as green again.  Does anyone have any suggestions.  Below is the XML line that Im using for that line.
    <Extension_4_ group="Phone/Line_Key_4">Disabled</Extension_4_>
    <Short_Name_4_ group="Phone/Line_Key_4">Page</Short_Name_4_>
    <Share_Call_Appearance_4_ group="Phone/Line_Key_4">private</Share_Call_Appearance_4_>

    <Extended_Function_4_ group="Phone/Line_Key_4">fnc=sd;sub=[email protected]</Extended_Function_4_>

    Extended_Function are big mystery for me. Despite documentation. Especially interaction's of sub= and ext= in combined functions (like blf+sd). And the behavior is changing between firmwares (no change in documentation, no notice in changelog), so my confusion seems not to be caused by my misunderstanding of documentation.
    Try one of:
    fnc=sd;sub=[email protected];ext=[email protected]
    fnc=sd;ext=[email protected]
    fnc=blf+sd;sub=[email protected];ext=[email protected]
    It may or may not help. Note, the last one will monitor the state of 800 as well (if supported by PBX).

  • In Pages 5.1 how do I change the default spacing after a paragraph? I used to be able to do this with the inspector. I no longer see the option.

    In pages 5.1 I was wondering how to change the line spacing after a paragraph.

    This is from the online Pages Help . You have the option to the Help in your Pages Help menu
    Adjust line spacing
    You can adjust the spacing between lines in a paragraph, and change the amount of space before or after a paragraph.
    Click in the paragraph whose spacing you want to change, or select one or more paragraphs.
    In the Text pane of the Format inspector, click Style.
    Click the disclosure triangle next to Spacing, then choose an option from the pop-up menu:
    Lines: Choose when the distance between ascenders (parts of letters that extend to the top of the line) and descenders (parts of letters that extend below the line) should stay the same. The space between lines is proportional to the font size.
    At least: Choose when the distance between lines should remain fixed (but not to overlap if the text gets large).The distance from one line to the next will never be less than the value you set, but it may be larger for larger fonts to prevent overlapping text lines.
    Exactly: The distance between the baselines.
    Between: The value you set increases the space between the lines, instead of increasing the height of the lines. By contrast, double-spacing doubles the height of each line.
    Click the arrows next to the spacing field to set the amount of space for the option you chose.
    To adjust the amount of space before and after the selected paragraph, click the arrows for Before Paragraph and After Paragraph

  • Not allowing changes to payment terms after the AR document is released to accounting

    Hi,
    Anyone know the best way to not allow a user to change the payment terms after the AR document has been created in AR? This is affecting aging because users are changing the payment terms without permission. What is the best way to control that?
    Thank you.
    AK

    Hi A K
    Frequent change in payment terms is something business should introspect. Payment term is decided and agreed upon with customer/vendor during the initial stages.
    However from IT perspective, it can be controlled keeping some system controls.
    1. Limit the Customer master change transaction to very limited users or to a manager. There should be internal approvals by management for business to make a change. Bring this into force.
    2. Regularly run the customer master change reports and provide the trend to management to restrict or limit the changes.
    3. Use Change Message control for master data by providing necessary warnings or error messages when master data is changed.
    4. In  the sales order level, there is every possibility to change the payment term. Based on the user authorization get the payment term field greyed out and provide change access to accounting or to a specific user upon approvals. This is a bit complex process but I feel this brings up controls and stops the process from exploitation.
    5. Also activate 'Sensitive fields' KNB1-ZTERM for payment term field in customer master. This brings up another layer of confirmation of change by other users.
    6. Another back route, not recommended in all cases, is to subsititute the required payment term during accounting document posting.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,
    Sekhar

  • How to change async to sync after deploying the process.? Thanks

    How to change async to sync after deploying the process.? Thanks

    you'd need to change the base wsdl, the generated one (_Name.wsdl) and the bpel.file .. and remove the generated classes .. (all in domains/you_domain/tmp/your_process dir)
    the wsdl needs to get the output msg to the input msg instead of a callback porttype, the same needs to be in the generated wsdl (don't forget to remove the callback role in plnk session).. and the bpel process needs to have a reply instead of the invoke ..
    this is what you would need to do .. BUT, maybe we can find a better solution for you, if you elaborate on the usecase..
    during design time this is easier :-)

  • Behaviour change of synchronous reply after patching to 10.1.3.4

    Hi people ,
    i have a process like this:
    [http://www.jettmedia.com/images/630_syncReply10134Test.jpg]
    Normally in 10.1.3.1 , 10.1.3.3.x ; the process will continue after a partial reply, and any fault uncatched in the process would terminate the flow. And any changes to the outputvariable wont change the process response.
    But after patching to 10.1.3.4 im having a different behaviour on synchronous process replys ,
    The process continues and any uncatched fault AFTER A REPLY its raised to the client, and any change to the outputvariable AFTER A REPLY its changed to the process response .
    The worst thing its that is not clear when the response its really sent to the client , ( if i put a wait activity , after the reply, with 1 minute , works as was expected, like in 10.1.3.3 ... )
    I read this new features list from oracle
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/soa/cab/oraclesoacab-webinar-04-22-08bpel_10_1_3_4_update.pdf
    It says that "Faults in a transient process go to the client" , correcting an old problem of lost instances..
    I cant find any other documentation explaining this new beahaviour but for my organization its a huge problem afecting , many production processes, on the patched servers. Because i raised faults to leave the instances marked as faulted on the console as a normal procedure on the flows , but now , if that throw its close enough after a reply(with a unknow criteria or number of activities) its raised to the client :S
    Thanks for any help , by now the workaround to keep the same behaviour its: WAIT after every reply :S :S !!
    Greetings
    Dam

    Yes its a fire and forget pattern, thanks for the suggestion, il. try it ...
    but its difficult to refactor several flows just for patching , you have any idea if this change after upgrade to 10.1.3.4 its normal ? this is an expected beahaviour ?
    Thank you very much again

    The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes  doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

    If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
    I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

  • How to block changes in purchase order after purchase release

    Dear all
    Can u please tell us how to block any changes in purchase order after purchase order is released...
    (We don't want any line items addition or quantity addition or any changes once purchase order is released..)We wanted this for a particular purchase order type only
    Regards
    Sudha

    Dear Sudha
    Yes it is possible to confiquire your system insuch a way where once if the PO  gets final relase then it cannot be changed.Only possiblity that will be available for the user to make chanegs in PO is possible when the final release is to be reset and then make the changes.
    Release Indicator: specicfies whether the PO documents is blocked or can be processed for the follow functions.
    You can define the release indicators you need for your release procedure:
    •The Released indicator is used to specify whether messages (PO documents in output format) may be transmitted for a purchase order with this indicator.
    •The Changeability indicator shows the effect of changes to the PO (a change to a PO may require a new release strategy to be determined, for instance).
    •By means of the Value change indicator, you can specify that the release strategy is to be re-started if a PO is changed and the value of a PO item thereby increases by a certain percentage (e.g. 10%). Set the Changeability indicator to "4 - Changeable, new release in case of new strategy or value change" or "6 - Changeable, new release in case of new strategy or value change/outputted" and enter a percentage in the Value change field.
    And after that you can specify release statuese where you can specify which release indicator/status a PO is to have after having been released via a certain release code.
    and after release simulation .
    Test for the PO change after final release System will not allow you tomake changes by giving the message that the release  indicator doesnot allow you make the changes in PO.
    Regards

  • Sequence behavior after importing via DataPump

    Hi Friends,
    I'm running Oracle DB 11.2.0.3 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Servers and I faced a strange sequences behavior after importing a schema via Data Pump.
    The export is done this way:
    EXPDP userid/password dumpfile= logfile= directory= remap_dumpfile=y (no news)
    The import is done this way
    IMPDP userid/password dumpfile= logfile= directory= remap_schema=(old_one:new_one) remap_tablespace=(old_ones:new_ones, so on...)
    The import works fine. There are no errors and the sequences are as well imported with no warnings.
    The strange behavior is that the sequences seems to "reset". When we call a sequence the NEXTVAL is just lower than the values already stored in the Database, and we get ORA-00001 a lot. The sequence should know that vale. I don't have this problem when using exp/imp, just via DataPump.
    So that when we create an order that should receive the value of 100, as an example, because we have 99 orders on the system, Oracle suggest a value lower than 99 or even the number one value (01).
    We then wrote a script to check the CURVAL of the sequences on the base schema to recreate the sequences using this initial value on the new imported schema.
    Does anyone faced this problem before?
    Any suggestions?
    Tks a lot

    Richard
    I've tried what you just said.
    Adding the parameter consistent=y makes Oracle to show a message like that at the beginning of the export
    "flashback_time=TO_TIMESTAMP('2013-09-03 12:18:12', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')"
    It warns me: Legacy Parameter CONSISTENT=TRUE, and replaces with flashback_time.
    Really, I did not know about this behavior with this "old" parameter. I'm very appreciated about your help.
    I was almost thinking it was a DataPump bug or something.
    Thanks a lot Richard. I'll now update my scripts and make lots of test.
    If you have more advices using this parameter please share us.
    Cheers

  • Changing Ramp color in After Effects

    Hi all,
      I'm still new to AE and currently using step by step guides from books to practice in AE. In one of my practice, I'm creating a text animation with a ramps shader as the background as seen in my attached file here, and according to the book, no matter initial your color choice from your color picker, the ramp color will eventually default to gradations of black and white as seen in my file here. I wonder if there's any way that I can have more control of my color here, so I'll choose the color of my ramp.
    Thanks.

    Ok. Thanks for the uploading tip. I've enclosed the image as an attachment here for more clarification. hope it helps

    When attaching images, use the camera icon or the pix will get caught up in the virus queue. As I'm writing this, it's not yet visible. Anyway, I'm not really sure what you are describing, since you didn't mention what book and chapter and even then it's probably a newer revision which I don't have. There's a million ways to create gradients in AE, so probably you are simply missing something obvious.
    - Ramp effect
    - Ramp effect, followed by Colorama
    - Layer Styles - Gradient Overlay
    - Shape Layers with gradient fills
    For some specific cases, the effect may require to be applied to a solid, where the other layer, e.g. a text layer acts as the matte. also make sure to adjust the start and end points of the gradients to fall within the dimensions of the layer to be affected.
