I told her no thank you, as my EX FICO score -- while not phenomenal -- is at least high enough that I do not have to settle for a secured card without rewards. Strangely, at this point, she said that they don't use FICO in their determinations -- that they just look at the credit file as a whole. Anyway, I have a few questions that I hope to uncover some answers to:1) What is the minimum limit for approval on the BBR? Or at least the minimum you've heard of?2) Is it worth a second recon? Has anyone who has personal experience with BOA recons ever been denied on the first recon but approved on the second? 3) Do you think I might have a chance at approval if I request they pull TU as well? My TU is 30 points higher -- 706. Do you REALLY need the card? or you just want it...just curious You seem to have good cards already.

My TU is 30 points higher -- 706. You could always call back and ask for a Senior Analyst. I know of a fella who called these guys about 100 times over a course of 5 days and eventually got approved for a Travel Rewards. Don't give up so easy on this card, I have 4 of them and love the $480/yr I get from them for approximately $1,000 of spend.

Approved for BBR!!!! VERY strange recon experience!!!

So, I'm kind of shaking right now. I applied for BOA's Better Balance Rewards a few days ago and was instantly denied. I then called BOA's backdoor number to speak to a credit analyst who was a bit dismissive of my attempts at a recon (understandable given the baddies in my profile) Anyway, the long and short of it is, later I got a call out of the blue from a rep in BOA's quality assurance department who more or less said that my recon call was not performed to their standards and asked if I would like my application reopened and submitted, which of course I said yes to... If you'd like more detail about this ultra bizarre experience as well as my stats for approval, see the following thread:http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Card-Applications/OOPS-BOA-recons-Update-post-40-Update-2-Approved-for-BBR/td-p/4164655 But to sum it up, I just checked online and evidently I was approved. I then called the automated app status line to find that my limit will be $2100!!! I would have been happy with $500! LOL. I really can't believe it!!

Congrats.but i don't see why they denied you in the first place. im guessing they pulled EQ or Ex with the baddies you mentioned. But scores don't seem all to bad. Congrats. appears someone was listening in on your call. Thats great.

Is update not approved for a specific group via powershell.

My apologies in advance for asking a similar question to the one I asked two months ago,
is update approved for specific group via powershell? I thought I had this covered, but as I've found time to continue to work on this project I see that it does not.
I have a script that iterates through updates and if the release date is older than 30 days and they have not already been “Approved for Install” or “Approved for Removal” for a specific group it approves them. I am currently faced with the dilemma that
when an update is set to “Not Approved” for the specific group I’m working on it does not come across in my group’s approvals and there for I cannot detect its current state to know if I should approve it. In other words, I don’t want to approve an update
that I set to not approved for a specific group.
I am currently achieving all this so far by connecting to my WSUS server and getting any and all updates via $all = $wsus.GetUpdates(). I Then get my group’s approved updates via $groupApproved = $wsus.GetUpdateApprovals($GroupScope) where ApprovedStates
= "Any" and ApprovedComputerTargetGroups.Add($current_wsus_group). While iterating through $all I grab updates that are older than 30 days and check to see if the updateID exists in my $groupApproved. If it does not, I approve the update. Like I
said before, an explicitly unapproved update for my group does not show up in my $groupApproved. I understand it’s because of my GetUpdateApprovals($GroupScope) being just that and only getting approved for install or uninstall, but even when I try to simply
GetUpdates($GroupScope) I am still not returned explicitly unapproved updates. Below is a screen shot of what I mean by explicitly setting an update to unapproved for a group. I’ve read up on
ApprovedStates and possible enumerated values and it does include "NotApproved" defined as "Includes updates that have not been approved or declined.".
Hope all that makes sense, thanks for the help.

So, I've decided to go about this a different way. Rather than getting all updates and comparing them to approvals via a scope of updates for my specific group (which includes all actions but Not Approved), I am going to look at specific approvals for each
update and see if there is a match for my group. A simplfied version of this is below.
$AnyAllUpdates = $wsus.GetUpdates()
foreach ($udpate in $AnyAllUpdates)
if ($update IsNOTDeclined IsNOTSuperseded LegacyNameNOTIA64 CreationDateLTDATE yada yada yada)
# get the approvals for this udpate as they relate to my group
$uApprovals = $update.GetUpdateApprovals() | ?{$_.ComputerTargetGroupId -eq $wsus_group.Id}
if ($uApprovals)
if ($uApprovals.action -eq "Install")
# do nothing, the udpate was approved for install
elseif ($uApprovals.action -eq "Uninstall")
# do nothing, the update was approved for uninstall
elseif ($uApprovals.action -eq "NotApproved")
# do nothing, the udpate was not approved for install
else
# since there was no specific action then it must be an inherited not approved from teh parent group
# approve the update!

App'ing for Lowes UPDATE! APPROVED FOR $2K

I will be doing an app for a Loews card today or tomorrow. My scores are low to mid 700's and my UTI is at 24% across all of my cards. Whatever they give me (if I'm approved), I will be calling the backdoor number and asking for $50k based on the information I saw here. Wish me luck. BTW, my report will show that I recently bought a home reporting since March. I will tell them that I need major renovations to explain why I need that much. Any tips would be appreciated. UPDATE, - after being approved for the $2k, I called the back door number and asked for $50k and was countered with $17k.

Yes-Its-Me wrote:
I am going to be the bad guy here.. Looking at the limits on your card as I see your highest limit is on the NFCU card, you will get approved but you will not be getting a 50k lowes card. The credit line is determine by the limits on all cards, scores etc.. You have a very good reason as to why you want it so I will keep fingers crossed for you. Report back with results..My highest card was a 17,500 NFCU card, and when I called them for a CLI, I was given $25k (from a $2,500 limit) when I asked for it, $7,500 more than NFCU. Now this was an established account, so it might differ from a new account, and $50k is quite high, but it's possible.

Is update approved for specific group via powershell?

Hello,
I have a script that auto approves updates based on release date for specific groups. The script checks to see if the update has already been approved (e.g. isApproved) and either skips it if it's already been approved or approves it for my specific group
(e.g. $update.approve("install",$wsus_group)). The problem I'm running into is if I approve Update1 for GroupA, then later check Update1's isApproved to see whether or not I need to approve it for GroupB, Update1's isApproved is $true and therefor
my script skips approving it for GroupB. I've checked the update's object and I don't see a multi-valued var for groups that its been approved for. I've started to poke around with other
Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration namespaces but I don't see one that has the info I'm looking for.
So, how can I view what updates have been approved for GroupA vs GroupB?
Thanks!

Hi Joey,
If you want to approve updates to multiple groups, and also want to check if the updates have been approved to the groups, please check the script below:
This can examine one computerGroup and find updates not approved for one or multiple other computer groups.
$serverName="localhost"
$targetComputerGroup="BaselineGroup"
$checkForMissing="MissingGroup1,MissingGroup2"
[void][reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration")
$wsus=[Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy]::getUpdateServer($serverName,$false)
$computerGroup=$wsus.GetComputerTargetGroups()|ForEach-Object -Process {if ($_.Name -eq $targetComputerGroup) {$_}}
$UpdateScope=New-Object Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.UpdateScope
$UpdateScope.ApprovedStates="Any"
$updateScope.ApprovedComputerTargetGroups.Add($computerGroup)
$Approvals = $wsus.GetUpdateApprovals($UpdateScope)
#At this point we have all of the updates assigned to the $targetComputerGroup
$report= @()
write-host "Querying for all Updates approved for $targetComputerGroup"
foreach ($Approval in $approvals) {
$record=""|Select-Object ComputerGroup,UpdateName, UpdateID
$record.ComputerGroup=$wsus.GetComputerTargetGroup($Approval.ComputerTargetGroupID).Name
$record.UpdateName=$wsus.GetUpdate($Approval.UpdateID).Title
$record.UpdateID=$wsus.GetUpdate($Approval.UpdateID).ID.UpdateID
$report +=$record
#Now group the results by UpdateName
$GR=$report|group -Property UpdateName
$CheckForMissing=$CheckForMissing.Split(",")
foreach ($entry in $gr) {
$groups=@()
foreach ($g in $entry.Group) {
$groups += $g.ComputerGroup
foreach ($missing in $checkForMissing) {
if ($groups -Contains $missing) {}
else{
New-Object PSObject -Property @{
Name = $entry.Name
UpdateID = $entry.Group[0].UpdateID

Installing Update Rollup 4 for R2. Question of post installation task

I will be installing Update Rollup 4 for Service Manager 2012 R2 on our Orchestrator, Data Warehouse, Service Manager and Portal Server as well as updating the client Consoles.
Following MS article
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2989601/en-us?sd=rss#install.
A bit confused about the Post installation tasks. Particularly the following:
Resynchronize System Center Operations Manager mount point data
To resynchronize Operations Manager mount point data after you apply this update, follow these steps:
Disable all the Operations Manager configuration item (CI) connectors in the Service Manager console.
In Windows PowerShell, check the current execution policy by running the following cmdlet:
Get-ExecutionPolicy
If the current execution policy is Restricted, set it to
Remotesigned by running the following command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy –force RemoteSigned
Find the following PowerShell script in your System Center 2012 R2 installation directory:
OMCIConnector_SyncMetadata_UpdateTimestamp.ps1
By default, you should find this file in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\Service Manager\PowerShell
Run the following command from the Primary Management server:
PowerShell .\OMCIConnector_SyncMetadata_UpdateTimestamp.ps1
Revert the execution policy to the original value that it had in step 2.
Enable and synchronize the relevant Operations Manager CI connectors.
Make sure that all the mount point data is populated in Service Manager.
I am guessing they are talking about the System Center Configuration Manager Connector but not sure. We don't have a Connector for SCOM. If by OMCIConnector they mean SCOM, then I don't need to worry about this. If would be nice if they would tell
you why you are doing this. I don't even know what "Mount Point Data" is.
Does anyone know if it would cause any problems if I skipped this step? I hate doing stuff when I don't know why I am doing it. For example, step 8 "Make sure that all the mount point data is populated in Service Manager."
What does that even mean?
Also, I cannot even find the PowerShell script they are talking about in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012\Service Manager\Powershell folder so are they talking about SCOM or SCCM?

All of the steps listed refer to the Operations Manager connections. none of these steps relate to the Config Manager connector. If you are not using SCOM, or don't have a SCOM connector, then you can safely ignore these steps.

There was a problem updating InDesign CC For more information see the specific error below. Update Failed Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)

Posted the entire text from the error window, when trying to update, using the normal NON-TECHIE way to update any and all Adobe CC products, via the Creative Cloud updater installed when Adobe Creative Cloud subscription was purchased when first offered.
The following occurs, ad nauseam:
There was a problem updating InDesign CC
For more information see the specific error below.
Update Failed
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)
Here's the crux of my frustration:
(1) Customer Service is NOT contact-able, to receive LIVE help.
(2) There is NO way for me to mitigate this "Download error", being a student learning InDesign, and NOT in any way capable of tweaking folders/files here and there.
Therefore, the real question:
Given that a significant number of subscribers are having the above referenced issue with attempting to download the current update for InDesign, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO, in order to get our contractually paid-for updates to our legally and contractually paid-for Adobe software, specifically in my case, InDesgin's current update?
Please, NO TECHNICAL mumbo-jumbo which most likely will cause the overwhelming majority of users, like me, to seriously corrupt their computer files, but rather an honest, straightforward "what to do" from real CS/Engineers working for Adobe, as to how to FIX this issue, period.
===========================================================
UPDATE:
Here is a way in which I think I was able to "update" my InDesign CC application:
(1) Sign-In to your Adobe Account
https://www.adobe.com/
(2) Click on the MENU icon
(3) Click on the product InDesign icon
Your browser should display the page for Adobe InDesign CC
https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html?promoid=KLXLU
(4) Click on the Download icon,
Your browser should now display the page to download InDesign,
https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/indesign
(5) a Pop-Up window should open, and display:
Launch Application
This link needs to be opened with an application.
with the first option to select being the CreativeCloud(URIHandler)
(5) Select this application and click OK.
What happened when I followed steps (1) thorugh (5) is that:
(a) InDesign CC(2014) was installed,
(b) InDesign CC, updated, and then
(c) InDesign CC(2014), also updated.
Why this all worked, is a mystery to me.
Looks like a separate, "new" version of InDesign, InDesign CC(2014), was installed, the existing "old" InDesign was updated, and then the newly installed Indesign CC(2014) was further updated.
A BIT MORE, when I launched my InDesign CC app, and checked to see if there were Updates Available, there in fact was an Adobe InDesign CC 64 bit (9.2.2) update.
I clicked on UPDATE and my "old" InDesign CC app was "successfully updated."
FURTHER INFO: I may have neglected to list some important info ... OS: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center, 64-bit
Confused, I am able to launch BOTH of these apps, and hopefully I may use one of these versions of the InDesign CC app, to do some InDesign work.
Will keep y'all posted!

IOS 6.1.4 released for iPhone 5 Adds an Updated Audio Profile for Speakerphone

Apple has just released an Over the Air update for the iPhone 5. It seems to only provide an updated audio profile for the speaker phone. Nothing else listed in the change log.
I would assume that there will be an iTunes downloadable update available shortly.

It obviously is because you didnt understand. The iphone 4's last update to IOS 6.1.3 in some cases caused the phones speakers to not work (in which this happened to mine and a few people I know) which some people got rid of their phones. HENCE the AUDIO UPDATE that they recently posted but only iPhone 5 can download the update. That is my problem. I have alot of apple products diesel vdub and have had apple for a long time but I can't seem to understand why they would do this and I posted this in hopes to find more people that have had this issue and if they did anything to help fix it this issue. Thank you for your concern though.

(BUG??) Team Foundation Server 2013 Update 4 Support for SQL 2014

Scenario: On Windows 2012 R2 x64 I have installed SQL, Reporting Services & AS 2014 (applied all updates through Windows Update), SharePoint 2013 Foundation, and installed Team Foundation Server 2013 RTM (did not configure).
Before configuring TFS, I applied Update 4 to the server (not update 1,2 or 3 directly). When trying to configure I get the following error:
==========================
TF255146: Team Foundation Server requires SQL Server 2012 SP1 (11.00.3000) or greater. The SQL Server instance you supplied is version 12.0.2254.0.
TF400403: The Report Server instance specified is version 12.0.2254.0, the minimum supported version is 11.0.3000.
TF400070: A required version of a component is not installed on the application tier. You must exit the Team Foundation Administration Console and install a supported version of either SQL Server Analysis Services of the SQL Server Client Tools on the application
tier to ensure that the Analysis Services object model is present for warehouse processing.
====================================
My understanding is that as of Update 2 (or was it 3) that SQL 2014 was supported. However it appears if that particular update is not installed directly it bypasses the check. Can someone verify I am seeing the intended result or is this a bug?

Updating Page Sentry for APEX 4.0

Hi there,
I've found this forum and the regular posters and mods to be extremely helpful, so this post is more of a give-back, I hope. We recently upgraded a dev system of apex 3.0.x to 4.0.2 and ran into some issues where our use of some Page Sentry auth code that's been floating around a long time became a problem for us in terms of properly managing session state, URL forwarding, and acceptance of URL parameters for setting the value of page items in session.
I've posted [an article on our blog|http://zetetic.net/blog/2010/12/10/updating-page-sentry-for-apex-4-0-upgrade/] explaining the whole thing in what is probably very boring detail over here, and if you're so inclined, we'd love your feedback. But just so there's no need to go anywhere, here's the page sentry we ended up implementing, which makes some pretty significant mods to the old page sentry to account for what we perceived as changes in APEX's behavior somewhere in our move from 3.0 all the way up to 4.0.2.
You can view the following function nicely formatted [at this gist|https://gist.github.com/736369] :
<pre><code>
CREATE OR REPLACE function PASSPORT.oamPageSentry ( p_apex_user in varchar2 default 'APEX_PUBLIC_USER' )

Billy,
Thanks a lot for this great info. It seems to have solved the problem I have been having with an NTLM page sentry function for the last 2 or 3 days. Very difficult stuff to debug what is going on inside these functions when they (obviously) behave differently once you have logged in etc.
As I said, your solution seems to solve my problem - but I have a couple of questions :
1. Is this related to 10347091 which is mentioned on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/downloads/apex402knownissues-189793.html ?
If yes, did you try the patch?
2. Have you logged a bug or had any feedback (externally or within the forum) from Oracle people on this issue?
I was about to log a bug regarding the deep linking and FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL not behaving correctly when I noticed the known issues and now your valuable work. I was going to try the patch, but I'd rather not apply it unless I know it will solve my problem.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Regarding Backup as it is Application Level patch, is it fine if i take Backup of $ORACLE_HOME for Application Tier ?You will have to take a full backup (which means all the application/database tier files -- i.e. all the directories after you shutdown all the services cleanly).
1. After that I need to 'Enable Maintenance Mode' using adadmin utility
applmgr>$adadmin
2. Source Env file for Application Tier
applmgr>$ . SID_hostname.endYou mean env file.
3. Stop all Application Services
applmgr>$ . adstpall.sh
4. Copy patch to Directory
5. Unzip
6. applmgr>$ cd /u01/patch/10629956
7. After that apply patch using adpatch utility
applmgr>$ adpatch
8. Disable Maintenance Mode
9. Start Application Tier Services
10. Retest Correct.
Can I follow these steps ? Yes.
By default value of parameter "apply" is "y" so does it apply patch intest mode? I nned to specify it to "n" or should i test it first as i m doing this first time. You do not need to test it if you take a backup, and this is a small patch so you should be OK :)
If in case anything goes wrong can I restore my Application Services back using old Oracle_Home backup ?Yes.
Note: Please edit the post before the previous one as it contains the contents of MOS document and this violates Oracle support agreement policy.
Thanks,
Hussein

You Tube requires Flash update. Worked for laptop Windows 7 but not PC Windows Vista. Can you help?

You Tube said I needed latest Adobe Flash Player, so uninstalled old version and reinstalled latest version 11.6.602.171 on PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS. My system says it's there, but it still won't work on You Tube - still get same message saying Ineed latest version.
Had same message on my Laptop running Windows 7 and it updated and works fine. I use Internet Explorer 9.
Detailed Problem Description: Problem with downloading latest Adobe Flash update and viewing YouTube. On PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS, You Tube home page red banner at top said I needed to install latest Adobe Flash Player but even after installing, it does not work and will not play most videos in browser and shows black screen with message still asking to download latest version. Seems to be rather random as to which videos it will play and which ones it won't, although there may be some common link (see examples below). I thought it might have been HTML5 problem but I have successfully played HTML5 and Non-HTML videos through Adobe test site (Adobe Flash Player Help/Video Playback Issues) as well as Stage Videos. (Note: Had same You Tube messages when viewing on Laptop running Windows 7 but that updated without problem.)
Ran Adobe Uninstall. Closed all other programs before reinstalling direct from Adobe (rather than You Tube link). No change.
Ran all Adobe troubleshooting suggestions listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_.
Removed browsing data and deleted cache, checked that Internet Tools\Safety\Active X filtering was disabled (but in Internet Option\Security, Active X controls are enabled), disabled Hardware Acceleration, restarted computer but no change to You Tube viewing. Re-enabled, but no change. (WOULD LOVE ADVICE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IF I SHOULD KEEP THIS ENABLED OR DISABLED.)
I have updated graphics drivers for NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT- although had to do manually as NVIDIA auto system scan said "could not detect your GPU". Noted they said Windows Vista supports up to Direct X 10, but my system is running Direct X 11. Had optional update message for "nVidia Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM 1.2, other Hardware NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT" on both PC & laptop. Laptop downloaded fine. Tried to download on PC but was not successful. Error Code 80070103, possibly because system had already been updated? Current driver version 9.18.13.1407 - "Windows has determined that your current driver software is up to date".
Running Norton 360 but it did not block or indicate any problems with Flash Player download.
Problem URL: http://www.youtube.com/?utm_source=navclient (red banner at top of home page says I still need to download latest Adobe Flash).
Example of specific video that will not play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=384IUU43bfQ

Dear Chris,
Thanks for reply. I ran the recommened Adobe uninstall program so assumed it deleted whatever it should have, before installing new version. When it didn't work I followed instructions in Flash Player help page (screen shot below) which said to delete the Roaming App Data/Macromedia/Flash folder and Roaming App Data/Adobe/Flash folder, which I did.
Below are screen shots of C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash files as they currently stand. I have a fuzzy recollection that it was deleted at some point because I think I went searching for it during one troubleshooting session and it couldn't be found (but maybe I'm geting confused with the App Date folders?). Anyway I presume these current files are all post-reinstallation as the dates are all 5 or 6 March (did them before and after midnight). I'm on Australian time - not sure where you are. However, notice install.log date is 21/05/2010 and Flash Player Trust sub-folder is dated 6/09/2008.
When I right click on the screen of both videos that will and won't play, I just get a list of options starting at "Copy video URL" down to "About HTML5". So not sure what you mean when you say "For the videos that do play, when you right click on them what version of Flash Player is reported at the bottom of the context menu?" as I can't see any info like this. Do I click somewhere else?
If you are able to get the info you are after yourself, two videos that will work are:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLKlTN1JN7w and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGbrFmPBV0Y
Also, with hardware acceleration enabling or disabling, the only place I can find to do this is through the Adobe Flash Help page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_
and right clicking on the Flash Player info box, going into Settings and checking or unchecking the Enable box. Do you know if there is another setting in my actual computer where I can do this and or there's some other setting I need to change? There doesn't seem to be anything similar when I go through Conrol Panel - Flash Player.
5. Delete all Flash Player browsing data
a.. Click Start > Control Panel.
b.. Double-click Flash Player.
c.. In the Flash Player Setting Manager, click Advanced.
d.. Under Browsing Data and Settings, click Delete All.
6. Remove Flash Player cache
a.. On your computer, select Start > Run. (On Windows 7, click Start and type in Search Programs and Files.)
b.. Type %appdata%\Adobe and click OK.
c.. Delete the Flash Player folder.
d.. Repeat step 1 and type %appdata%\Macromedia.
e.. Delete the Flash Player folder.

HT5130 Unable to install Security Update 2012-001 for Mac OS 10.6.8

Have just tried to install Security Update 2012-001 for Mac OS 10.6.8 and get message saying cannot download. Download stalls at Zero kB downloaded. Dialog says an error occurred during download.
Internet connection is fine and first time denial has occurred.

Looking at all the posts about the deficiencies of this update, you may have just lucked out, especially if you are, like many of us, still running PowerPC programs under Rosetta.

Why Lumia710 is "update not available" for "Taiwan...

I bought Lumia710 in Taiwan, I think Nokia also sold many 710 for Taiwan people.
But why Lumia710 is update not available for Taiwan users ?
We also need new features and further enhancements to the Nokia Lumia710 in Taiwan.
We waiting for
Latest Windows Phone operating system (Note. This is not WP 7.8 yet.)
Internet sharing (Wi-Fi Hotspot) — Share your phone's internet connection over Wi-Fi with up to five other devices or computers.
Flip to silence — Silence incoming calls by turning your phone face down.
Fix to prevent the volume of the ringtone temporarily increasing (Lumia 800 specific)
Download new apps from Marketplace, such as camera extras, including smart group shot and self-timer, Contacts share, and Play To, a DLNA app for showing your content wirelessly.
Usability and performance improvements.
Additionally Camera Extras (incl. smart group shots, panorama, action shots, etc.) will be available from the Marketplace plus other new imaging apps (like Citylens).
But just only Taiwan's Lumia710 users got update not available in Asia pacific.
It is mean : Latest version of software update will not be launched for this product code and/or country.
So anybody can answer me ? Tell me why ? Why without Taiwan users ?
Best Regards,
Kevin

Dear Kevinluh, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
I understand your frustration, however update availability can vary depending on Region and carrier, this is because some regions and carriers may not have signed off the update or have policies preventing the update occuring.
We hope you understand, please get in touch with your local Nokia Care line for more information regarding the update.
Regards
Sheldrick
