On Call Compensation?

Speak with management. Tell them that you require time and half for anything over 40 hours a week. Anything over 50 hours a week needs to be double time.

Hello everyone! Sorry if wrong forum area.
I have recently started my first real IT job two months ago and I love it. We are (were) a team of three supporting over 150 remote sites. We support a retail application for the stores.Recently one of our ex co-workers got fired two weeks ago and that pushed me to be on call.Our normal business hours are M-F 7AM - 6PM. Stores however can call at any time after 6pm and over the weekend.I started on call Monday and have worked at least 1-2 hours in the evening answering calls with Friday being a bit more occupied.Now today Saturday the calls have not stopped since about 8:30AM. At least 20 calls so far with 12 tickets opened an closed. Co worker says it stays busy like this until about 9pm...Now I am on salary at 37k and will not get any compensation for on call.Since we are down to two people...

How to call "compensation profile" iView in ECM from Web Dynpro for ABAP

Hi Experts,
I developed a compensation planning iView using web dynpro for ABAP using floor plan manager in ECM. I need to call the iView "compensation profile" but I don't know how to pass parameter to it, how to trigger it from my application. Is there anyone used to do this before?
Thanks!

I have to develop my own iView to replicate Java iView.

Compensation handler and compensate activity doesn't work

Hi!
i'm trying to build process with compensation handlers and it doesn't work .. to test it i made the following example:
in scope_1 there is simple assign_1 and in compensation handler there is assign_2. after scope_1 i throw error and in catchAll branch i have compensate activity - calling compensation of scope_1. But that compensation activity is never invoked! can please someone tell me why? what am i doing wrong?
I have bpel 10.1.2 ...

this might be caused by a bug I found too causing eventhandlers not to work, the work round in your case would be:

<scope>
<faultHandlers>
blar blar blar
blar blar blar

</process>
i.e. what I'm saying is that top level handler don't work since they are ignored by the engine because they are not in a scope. Try it and see....

MSS - compensation planning - compensation profile page

Dear All,
I have a question regarding a simple customization of a Standard SAP content page.
In the Compensation Planning iview, after the search is done a list of employees is displayed. Then single employee name is selected, and new window is launched displaying the compensation profile page:
pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/line_manager/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.bp_folder/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.pages/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.hcm/com.sap.pct.erp.mss.compensation_profile
I would like to hide some of the iviews that are shown in this page, however since it is Standard SAP content I do not want to modify the provided by SAP page. I plan to make a delta link copy of this page however my problem is that I do not know how to point the link from the result list in the Compensation Planning iView to the customized Compensation Profile page.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Venelin

You are right Veneliin.....to achieve your desired result you have to first copy the standard compensation profile page and paste it as delta link in your own folder.
Now you need to open the MSS role that you are using..(I believe it is your own custom role..)
Navigate to MSS (Role)-> Overview -> Team -> Employee Information..
You will find a page called "Compensation information" in it...
Delete this page and replace it with your own copied (as delta link) page.
Now you can modify your custom compensation information page....
Any doubts then revert back.

Urgent Help Req.: Exception=ORABPEL-11162 Error while reading native data

Hi All,
I am getting below error: Exception=ORABPEL-11162
Error while reading native data.
[Line=6, Col=7|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/] Not enough data available in the input, when trying to read data of length "22" for "element with name PurOrderNum" from the specified position, using "style" as "fixedLength" and "length" as "22".
Ensure that there is enough data from the specified position in the input.
Let me also give you the brief scenario of what I am trying to achieve.
INTERFACE FUNCTIONING:_
I have an interface which reads the records in a file in a chunk through ChunkRead adapter and and after one successful reading if chunk it calls the DB adapter to insert the records in the table.
Now these records are committed and next chunk is read and the process goes on till all the records are read.
After this the API is called which does the processing of these records.
Inserting records in the DB is a XA transaction which means if anything goes wrong while inserting the data, the records which are added earlier are rolled back.
ISSUE:_
Now the issue comes when I do the negative testing. Since my file is based on fixed length schema., I change the length of last record from 15 to 13. (say total are 10 records)
Now what happens is when chunkread tries to read the record of 15 length it gets only 13 characters and hence ignores the records.
But the chunkread reads all other 9 records correctly and sends this to DB adapter which now inserts them correctly in the DB.
But being a global transaction I want that if any record is missing from DB in comparison to those in file then whole transaction should roll back.
So I am unable to make this whole process as global transaction. This is because the ChunkRead adapter inspite of detecting the error doesn’t throw it back.
Moreover if this problem occurs in say next chunk then also I am unable to find out how to rollback the whole transaction. Because the first chunk was correct.
So basically two concerns are there:+
How to detect that chunkread adapter has missed one record?+
Secondly, If it’s detected then how should I rollback the transaction that caused earlier records to enter into database?+
Please let me know if anyone has faced this issue earlyer and how it got resolved. Any pointers regarding this would be of great help.
Also attached is the chunkread log for reference.

PFB the version details :
SOA suite version : 10.1.3.3.1 and JDEV : 10.1.3.3
Edited by: SOA Team on Oct 6, 2008 10:48 PM

Just a thought, you could set the terminator for the last field as {eol} instead of length, this means that it should read the last field regardless of the length.
Depending on the logic of Db adapter the error could be traped due to incorrect length.
If the file starts each row with a constant(s), e.g. 01 then you can terminate the previous line on that, this is the better option but relys on the file format.
The other option is a little thing call compensation, ouch. Basically this allows you to back out commited rows but you have to provide all the logic, it is generally something people avoid because of the complexity.

SynchHelloWorld process could not be deployed. Why?

Hello,
I have some experience with Active BPEL engine but this is the first time that I am working with JDeveloper BPEL designer and Oracle BPEL Process Manager. I followed the SynchHelloWorld sample tutorial from OTN site. My project gets compiled but not deployed to BPEL Process Manager.
I just says
SynchHelloWorld cannot be run/debug in this release.
I have downloaded free versions of both products.
JDeveloper - 10.1.2.1.0
Process Manager - 10.1.2.0.2 [ It displays this value in header of the console ]
I see that under project folder, there is jar file created, so I copied it over to the domains\default folder under process manager but it is still not recognized. What am I doing wrong here?
Thank you.
Meghana

Thank you for your prompt response. After rebuilding and deploying using 'deploy' item it worked.
I am trying to make bpel created in ActiveBPEL designer work in JDeveloper. Is there a way to attach my bpel and wsdl files to this message or can I send them to you directly. I am getting errors on my response activities. Same activities that work in ActiveBPEL designer and pass the validation, fail to validate here in Oracle's BPEL designer.
I am copying my bpel, wsdl here

Raw 3.1 professional custom profiles for highend digital cameras

I have a few questions for thomas knoll:
I would like to start with a statement here:
WHY ??? ....all this messy color calibration with slider inside the raw 3.1 plugin , when it could be so easy and simple :
what you can find already inside high end digital back software like sinar's capture shop or the leaf capture software, is nothing more and nothing less than a plugin called profilemaker , written by greatg mac beth. the leader in this field nowadays.
a software ,which again against license fees, is being implemented in those softwares.
what does it exactly do?...you might ask....
well, here a very simplified explanation :
for ex., you start your shoot with a shot of greatg color chart (24 patch or the big one), and that very" licensed" plugin called profilemaker will calculate a 100% precise and accurate color correction in the form of a custom icc-profile for you.
in just a few seconds.
so that that red from the chart that you took a picture of, is going to be that very same red in the final file in photoshop.
it puts something like a correction curve over your original raw file, so that it matches that very color from chart you just shot.
such colors is a game of numbers and formulas, and certainly not a slider function to fumble around with, where one person will say this red is correct, and another says no, this red is the right one.
something like profilemaker is incredibly accurate , because its pure mathematics, and not a form of lottery...!!!with an infinit number of possibilities when one would use sliders like in raw 3.1..
sliders that fighteach other, especially the ones in the calibrate tab section.
it takes a few second for a profilemaker software to make an 100% acurate custom color correction , in the form of a custom icc profile for your shot / and or digital camera.
if you have ever experienced this shortcut and these amazingly beautiful rich colors you can achieve with such a software, you will NEVER EVER go back.
I am not sure why adobe has not come up yet with their "own" version of such a profilemaker portion inside raw plugin 3.x.
they certainly have the know how to do this.
i would dare to state here, that it probably would take them only a few days to implement such a feature.
or , why adobe is not implementing an optional upgrade with "gretags" profilemaker , inside their raw plugin.
I certainly can count hundreds , probably thousands of photographers, who would be more than happy to pay for this feature. even if the license fees would be above 300$ for such an upgrade.
dear thomas knoll,
why have you not yet done so.....>>???
I hope that very, very soon you will consider such a suggestion.
in the meantime ..............i cross fingers......
very sincerely,

I have done many DlogH curves, and at one point, owned the Zakia /Todd book. No, the toe does not change much with increased development, but it does change. And yes the changes beyond middle gray (Zone 5; 18% gray)are greater than below, but again, it does change. Film speed does change as a function of development, and film speed is based (variously over the years) on just how the film comes out of the toe, it is inescapable that the curves pivot about the toe, roughly speaking, that is. The curves not only pivot there, the toe can increase in F+F value thereby showing a vertical displacement on the plot. If you take individual plots of a particular film over differing development changes, and overlay the curves such that the toes merge (roughly!), you will see that the slope of the curve does rise from the toe. I have lots of graphs in storage if you would like to see them.
I am familiar with AA's procedures. I studied and used them from about 1961. One of the reasons I ran so many curves is that I was interested in the so called compensating development, such as water bath, special formulas etc. I ran the curves on Plus-X, Tri-X, Tri-X professional, Panatomic-X, and other emulsions whose names I have forgotten. What I found out is that Plus-X didn't respond to compensating development at all. I could lay the reference curve over the DUT and they would match exactly. Quite a shock. I remember a film rated at ASA 250 that responded admirably, but way too grainy, even in 4x5.
I used two methods. One was to contact print a step tablet, the other was to shoot the tablet using an old diffusion head as a light source. I could tell how much support in the shadows I was getting from flare that way. Oh, and the one way that always worked was pre-exposure, sometimes post exposure. I could lift the toe nicely that way.
Plus-X had the straightest middle section of all. Ruler straight. Tri-X had a significantly different toe than Tri-X Professional.
Every meter measures luminance and can allow you to measure the scene dynamic range. A one percent spotmeter becomes an averaging meter for extreme telephotos, just as there is no such thing as a panoramic camera with a fixed lens. It's just cropping for the panorama, and whether a handheld meter is averaging or spot depends on the relative focal length of the taking lens.
The idea that a hand held averaging meter cannot give you the dynamic range of a scene is nonsense. Have you ever read "The Negative", first edition of AA? He explains how to use a meter to obtain dynamic range, if you cannot do that, you cannot even begin to use the zone system. He even described using a tube set into the meter element to do a rudimentary spot meter. I had several Weston Masters which had this homemade accessory. it was pretty neat, but boy, did it rob you of sensitivity!
Look, a metering system is simply some sort of light sensitive material which provides a change in some electrical parameter for a corresponding change in the light level. On it's own, you would simply see a needle move across the face plate. Putting numbers on the face plate corresponding to some light unit (Lux, Ft. Candles, Candles/ft^2, etc) allows you to quantify the responses. What you ultimately do with these numbers is one of the biggest parts of sensitometry as applied to photography. As you say, that application to digital is different than to film, but only because the demands of the digital medium requires it. I could just as easily build an exposure system for film based specifically on highlight placement. Film chose a different route, and, so far as I can tell, the optimum route. If digital and film had developed concurrently, perhaps we would reconcile the two systems so as to avoid the condition we find ourselves, at least those of us raised on film. The new guys, well, they will probably chortle over the Dodge/Burn application. They will have no appreciation for negatives. It took a while in the darkroom with the counterintuitive nature of dodge/burn when I started up.
I am enjoying this exchange, Jeff. It clears the air, and reminds me that in order to most easily grasp the digital concepts, I am better off with my engineering hat than the photographer's hat. I'm in my late 60's and it's too easy to slip into old patterns. Changing hats works well, and I am glad I can do it.
Cheers, and goodnight! (my,oh my! It's 1:17AM here!)

Comp Adjustment Manager

Hello All
Attn : Suresh Datti
What exactly is the difference between a Line Manager and a Compensation Manager in the Compensation Adjustments page ?

A Line Manager is the employee's immediate boss who give s the merit increase / LTI grantc etc..
A Compensation Manager liaises between the line managers & the Compensation Department.. manages the implementation of compensation programs that provide employees with competitive rates of pay, and motivate and reward them. I think in ECM, it is called Compensation Specialist.

PS4 Call of Duty Ghosts Lag Compensation Issues

I recently got the verizon fios internet 50 mbps/ 25 mbps, tv, and phone package with an actiontec router. Since I got this, I have been having issues with playing online multiplayer on call of duty ghosts for ps4. The issue is lag compensation where someone sees me in the game first before I see them. Maybe because my connection is too fast? I don't know. I used to never have this issue until I got fios. I think it's because I end up being the host and my connection is way too fast for the other players. I changed from wireless to direct connection to the actiontec router, but it made no difference regarding lag compensation. I've tried port forwarding and DMZ, but it didn't have any effect. I was wondering if I could replace the actiontec router with another modem or router. I feel like the actiontec router is the issue, but I could be wrong. Can someone help me out, please?

hi,i have fios to my speeds 150mbps/75mbps,i have xbox one and call of duty ghost to and some times i get lag too,its not the net work its the game its self.

Call recorder for iphone 5s

i am having a iphone 5s which i am looking for a call recording app for voice calls..

There are many call recording apps (for example, we are developers of such apps ). However, as KiltedTim says, such apps are not tied into the core dialing feature of iPhone but are implemented through one of the two ways:
1 - VoIP based recording: the app will use your internet connection to connect your phone to the app's server, which in turn will connect you to the recipient phone. It's convenient to use but you must use the app's dialer to make the phone call so only outgoing calls are supported.
2 - Conference call (3-way call) recorders: the idea is making a conference call with 3 'participants' - you, the person you want to record, and another phone number that actually makes the recording. This phone number is provided and managed by the app. This method supports recording of both incoming and outgoing calls but it's a bit uncomfortable to make the merging of the call with all the participants.
Regarding the legal issue, each country/state has its own set of rules for phone recording. In some countries a single participant consent is enough, some countries require both participants, some have different rules for recordings that are shared vs private recordings. Our apps include a feature to play 'beep' sound every minute, to inform the other party that the call is recorded. You can use it or disable it as required by the law in your country/state.
My company have two apps - 'Call Recorder - IntCall' is based on VoIP and CallRec Lite - Record Phone Calls is based on conference calls. You can find a comparison of both apps here - although it's a comparison of our apps most of the sections are relevant for all apps that are based on those two methods so you can learn a bit more about the pros and cons of each method.
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

Overtime compensation by time off.

Dear Experts,
I am using TM00 for time evaluation, I want to compensate the overtime perfomed by employee by time off only (no payment for overtime), I am using PCR YO16 for determining overtime (Copy of TO16 Determine overtime without approval), I have set the compensation type 3 (Compensation time off) using PCR YO16, I have created one absence quotya type 02 called as "comp off" with "INCREASE" mode in customizing, I have kept base entitlement for this quota type as Day Balance 0410 (Time off from overtime), the issue is that the quota type 02 is geting accrued twice if employee works overtime this is because PCR for compensation of Overtime TC10 updates the quota 02 by UPDTQA by overtime hours and QOUTA function also increases the quota type 02 by overtime hours,.
Since my quota type 02 should only get generated if any employee works overtime I dont want it to get processed by QUOTA function so could you please let me know how to achieve it.
If there is any other solution for my requirement then also please let me know.
Thanks,
Javed

Hi Okan,
For accessing the quota in time evaluation should be in increase mode.
Still I tries as you said be it is also preventing it from getting updated by UPDTQA.
I am having one workaround...if I remove the UPDTQA statement from TC12 I am getting correct results since the quota is getting updated by QUOTA function only...but I think this would not be the correct way to get the solution since SAP has provided the UPDTQA statement in TC12 means there should be some purpose behind it...right...the correct way would be to avoid the quota getting updated by QUOTA function...I think we are missing something...bevause of which we are not able prevent QUOTA function from updating our quota..please suggest...
Thanks,
Javed

COMPLAINT AND COMPENSATION REQUEST

On July 8, 2014 my internet stopped working. I eventually learned that my DSL number had been switched to another carrier (Time Warner) without my knowledge or consent. This was not a case of identity theft; I called TW and the name, address, and SSN now linked to my DSL number were not mine. I still don't understand how this happened. If TW says it has the authority to take over a number, shouldn't there be a verification process to ensure that the person requesting the change is the same as the person who already "owns" the number?
Trying to get my internet back has been a customer service nightmare. I kept a record of all my phone calls and the conflicting information I received. Although it's going to be painful for you to read through, it won't be nearly as painful as it was to live through. I'm going to summarize what was often multiple calls per day. At times I called back just to confirm information I received because I know that the "success" of a call is a direct reflection of the representative you happen to be talking to. **Not once did I receive the same information twice in a row.** Also, I am not going to document the many, many times that I was transferred to the wrong department or transferred to a department that was closed, "Please call back during business hours. Good-bye." Click.
7/8- Spent 2 hours and 15 minutes on the phone (mostly on hold) and was told I would need to wait until 7/22 to have service again.
7/10- Spent 1 hour and 10 minutes on the phone and was told that, if I cancelled the order to get my original number back from TW, I could have a new number and have service the next day. A technician would be at my home the next day between 8am and 12 pm.
7/11- Spent 1 hour and 35 minutes on the phone when the tech didn't show up by noon. The reps at noon and at 2:00 pm told me that the tech was running late, but there were no notes in the system about when s/he would arrive. Was told to check 1-800-WheresM(yTech) to track ETA. No such number or service appears to exist. The rep at 4:30 told me that the tech had cancelled the appointment earlier in the day because a technician was not needed. **I waited for 8.5 hours for someone who never showed up, and Verizon didn't inform me of the change. I run a small business from home and, since I didn't have internet and was stuck home waiting, I lost a day of work.** Was told by a rep that the central office would have service turned on by midnight.
7/12- Spent 1 hour and 15 minutes on the phone because my service had not been turned on by midnight. Went into escalation mode and demanded to speak to a supervisor. I spoke to two. Finally a rep came on the line and told me that there was no way to have service turned on until the account was active and a tech came to my home. The account wouldn't be active for two weeks, and the earliest possible tech appointment was now 7/29.
7/14- Spent 1 hour and 5 minutes on the phone and was told that the central office could activate the account the same day. I called back at 11:00 am and was told that a tech was scheduled to come between 8 am and 5 pm. This was the first I had heard about the appointment, and I wasn't home at the time. At 3:00 pm I was told that the appointment had been changed to the next day from 8 am to 5 pm. **For the second time I waited for hours for a tech that never showed up, and Verizon didn't inform me of the change until I called. More business time lost.**
7/15- The tech called at 9:30 am, showed up at 12:45 pm, and now I have internet again.
Multiple representatives have told me that I will not need to pay for the days I was out of service. This amounts to approximately $15. I spent almost 7.5 hours on the phone, 12.5 hours waiting for techs who didn't show up, and 12.5 hours unable to run my own business while waiting for this to be resolved. I received a truck-load of misinformation, and only have internet right now because *I* knew that this situation could be resolved quickly even though most of the representatives didn't know how to handle my situation correctly (Mark and Barbara gave me hope. Bless you both, wherever you are!) If I had taken the first rep's word for it, I wouldn't have internet for another week. The fact that I have internet today proves that, if I had been dealing with fully informed representatives, I could have had internet service up and running on 7/9. And for all of my wasted time Verizon is saying I don't need to pay $15?
$15?!
If this is all that Verizon loses--and it's not really losing since it didn't provide service during that time--there is no incentive to improve customer protection, representative education, and overall customer service. If significant compensation is required each time Verizon makes a mistake (allowing another provider to take over a number without even verifying that the customer information matches is a mistake) which results in loss of time and services to its customer/victim, I guarantee this situation will improve quickly.
I should receive one week of credit for each day of service lost (it should be a month of credit for each day lost, but I don't want to be greedy). I was without service for 8 days and should be credited 8 weeks of service. This is still only $110. I think we can agree that this is the least--the very least--Verizon can do. I look forward to your favorable reply.
P.S. At 4:23 pm a second crew of Verizon techs showed up. Apparently internal communication is just as poor. Get it together Verizon.

Got charged full retail for a new phone instead of Edge Up, wiped out bank account, had to refuse shipment, no compensation for the time spent talking to 14 representatives over the phone in the last week, and still no refund??

On 9/29 I ordered an iPhone 6 Plus 128GB as an edge up from my 5S, swiped my card at the store to pay the Edge Up fee, and was told 10/31 was the expected ship date.
Didn't see the order on my My Verizon account, spoke with 3 representatives on the phone to actually get the order number so I could track it.
On 10/24 the ship date disappeared and I called to find out there was an issue with the payment. I gave them my debit card number over the phone for the Edge Up amount, and they charged me full retail -- OVER $1,000.
They promised it wouldn't post to my account and it wouldn't ship after cancelling the order. Next day it shipped. I called FedEx and refused the package over the phone.
I called when the payment posted the next day, totally wiping out my bank account and charging me overdraft fees.
They said they'd push for a refund immediately -- on Sunday, 10/24. It's now 10/30, I see no refund, I have no phone, and I have over $100 in bank fees from their mistake.
I spoke with a supervisor on the phone and they said they could refund the bank fees, but would do nothing for the fact that they screwed up my order, and told me it would be another 2-3 weeks before they actually ship a phone to me if I ordered today.
Sorry, but that's NOT good customer service. I can buy out my Edge agreement, sell the phone on eBay, and go to another carrier pretty easily. I don't want to leave Verizon's service, but I don't really see how they value me as a customer?
Does anyone else have some idea of what I could do about this whole thing??
TL;DR -- Verizon charged full retail for a phone instead of Edge Up fee, still no refund, no compensation for the inconvenience and stress they caused, and another 2-3 week wait on a phone I ordered a month ago.

That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.

Delivery date changed 4 times-called to ask what is going on and then best buy cancelled order

I ordered a 55 inch aquos with free ROKU stick for $599.00 on Sept. 22 (removed per forum guidlelines) and got a confirmed delivery of Sept. 26. Unfortunately, I received a call in the morning of the Sept. 26 and was told that delivery was pushed to Tues, Sept. 30.
On Monday, Sept. 29, I received an automated call informing me that the Tv will be delivered on Sept. 30 between 3:30 and 5:30. and I also received an email with the same information. Thirty minutes later I received another email stating that the delivery is again being pushed to Oct. 13. so I called customer service. I was told he can change the delivery date to Oct. 3 but call in the morning to confirm availability with warehouse.I called customer service on Sept. 30 to confirm availability and was assured that the Tv will be delivered on Oct. 3.
On Thursday Oct. 2nd, I received another email stating the order will not be delivered until Oct. 16. I remained calm and called customer service and after a very long hold time I was able to speak with a representative and again after a long hold to check what is going on, she informed me that the order is now cancelled since the item is discontinued. I told the representative that I already lost 3 days of work due to the delivery dates changing and since the TV has to be accepted by somebody 18 years or older I needed to be home. I asked if it is unreasonable to ask for the same exact TV but 1 size bigger since the 60 inch is available and in stock (but without the ROKU stick) but unfortunately I was told it is not possible. I asked to speak with a supervisor but they are all busy but she asked for my phone number so they can call me back in 20 min.. I waited but did not get a back from the supervisor the same day.
I called again today, Friday, Oct. 3 and I was assisted by a nice lady who after explaining my situation was sincere with her apology. She told me that she will call me back so she can speak with a supervisor about my situation. I asked her too if it is unreasonable to ask for the same exact TV but next size bigger since the one I was sold is no longer available and I lost 3 days of work due to the 3 changes in delivery dates. She affirmed that it is fair but have no authority to make decissions but will relay the history of the order to her superior so they can make a proper resolution.
After about 15 minutes I got a call back and was told that since the bigger TV is priced at 799.00 they will give me a 50.00 dsicount for the trouble. I declined the offer since I feel that $50.00 dollars for getting the run around and missing 3 days of work is not proper compensation and is an insult to any customer. I thanked her for trying and informed her that I am aware that it is not her fault and it is management who made this decission.
I sincerely feel that I should have been given the next size TV for the same price of my original purchase and I should have been given a ROKU stick (which I did not ask for) for my unpleasant experience.
We are $150.00 apart from getting a resolution but management feels like it is the right thing to do for cases like these. Being a best buy customer for many years, spending many thousand of dollars, I am puzzled why best buy would treat any customer the way they treated me. Please explain the policy so I can have a better understanding. The $150.00 difference can easily be recopued from my next purchase. In my opinion, it is not a very smart business practice to lose a customer this way. Again, please explain the policy to me so I can understand better.

Hello romcarlos1,
While unforeseen complications can cause unexpected delays, it seems something went wrong at every turn. Misinformation and multiple missed appointments would frustrate me too, and I can only imagine this frustration turned into aggravation with the poor service you describe. After pulling up your account, I noticed that has been two weeks since your TV purchase, and I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. I appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to explain what should have happened.
When your delivery day arrives, you should receive a call from us to narrow down the time frame to a 4-hour window. This is done because our delivery agent’s schedule isn’t fully determined until the day of service as our customer’s needs may change prior to the delivery date. These routes are then best optimized to fit the appointments scheduled for the day. The particular television you wished to purchase is quite popular, however, and due to high demand, it’s currently on backorder in some areas of the country. This may explain why your delivery date was continuously pushed back unexpectedly, and why we needed to reschedule multiple times.
While in backordered status, however, an online order may be cancelled if you don’t wish to wait any longer and a different model may be purchase. Upon review of your order, I noticed that it was canceled upon your request. If you have since changed your mind and wish to wait for one to arrive, you may place a new order here.
It sounds like you wish to purchase a new TV entirely though, so I understand if you don’t wish to attempt a new order. While I cannot guarantee you a different outcome than the resolution already offered, I’d be glad to look into your case to see what other options may be available. Please know I have sent you a private message to collect further information from you.

I have a nokia E61 on an orange monthly contract caller ID is not working

Hello all, Yes my trusty old Nokia E61 no longer shows caller ID. When I call a number in my contacts I get the name of the person I am callingText messages have the sender ID attachedIf I put the sim in another phone I get caller IDIf I put the sim from another phone in the E61 I get caller ID SO, today I went and did a sim swapI waited till my current sim lost signal (about 2 hours)I inserted the new simWhen I got home I called my Nokia E61 from my wifes EE iphone and our land line, both gave caller IDI then read and deleted the sms that orange sent me to update the sim and restarted the phone Guess what, no caller ID I called Orange support, they told me everyone on orange has this problem (yeah right I believe that) I am going to do another sim swap tomorrow and I will put the new sim in another phone till I get the message then I will put the new sim in my nokia which should sort it out. Anyone got any amazing ideads about this or can anyone verify Oranges cheesy explanation for the fault??

Hello Karen, Thank you for checking it for me. I did a sim swap on Sunday and it worked fine. I turned off my phone overnight and when I turned it back on in the morning, no caller ID.This fault is obviously something to do with the SIM update texts received after a new SIM is inserted. I put out a question on twitter asking for other orange users to contact me who are suffering this (as I have been told 95% of estate affected) problem. No-one else has it! I have talked to customer services about transferring my contract to an EE sim (contract expires in December) but was told no, I have to pay £170 to get out of the contract. My issue is this; I work in the property business, I have several properties I own and manage. When I miss a call now I get no ID from the caller or call back number.This is costing me money and stress as I keep getting upset tenants having a go at me for 'ignoring' them. I have aslo missed important calls from my financier! I am in a contract witnh Orange where I pay a fee for a service. That service is not being provided to an adequate standard and I will need compensation from Orange for my loss if I cannot transfer to an EE account. I do not want another contract, I do not want a new handset, I just want my basic service so I can conduct my business in a proper manner. Can you send me a link to the orange service contract please. Regards M Butler
