Option to Disable 4G on Q10 (and use 3G in lieu)

The new iphone 5 has an option to disable 4G and allow the phone to work in 3G mode. This disable button can be helpful for situations when the 4G service is weak.
I work in midtown Manhattan and the 4G/LTE service is weak in both my office and my commuting hub (Port Authority). Because the radio on the phone can find a whiff of 4G, it meakly attempts to use that to no avail. Emails get stuck in outbox, searching for webpages goes nowhere and the phone thinks there is no connection.
This is clearly a 4G issue. My old BB never had a problem with this. My friends who can disable their 4G do so for situations such as mine.
I spoke to the folks at BlackBerry and they said this was a "carrier decision" not to have a network connection listed as "3G only" in the Network Technology section of the Mobile Network. They told me other carriers did offer such an option.
When I spoke the tech support team at Verizon, they said a software update would need to be implemented to allow this "feature."
I understand that us BB users are akin to unicorns. However, those of us who use them like the new technology.
I strongly urge the Verizon customer support team to implement the software update that would allow Q10/Z10 users the ability to turn off the 4G. It would be the fair and right thing to do.
The favor of a Verizon response is requested.
Thank you.

Hi JonathanK-
Maybe you misread my post? In it I mentioned that I work in midtown Manhattan and commute through the Port Authority.
To be specific though, the office zip code is 10017 (a block from Grand Central Terminal, another large commuting hub). The zip code for the Port Authority Bus Terminal (PABT) is 10018 (625 8th Ave., NY, NY).
BlackBerry specifically told me that Verizon is the blockage to a switch on my Q10 that would allow me to turn off 4G. Is that inaccurate?
If so, I would like to schedule a conference call between your team and the BlackBerry team to get to the bottom of this.
Thank you, in advance, for your assistance with this matter.

Is there a way to disable the Facetime camera and use an external USB webcam for browser based webchat?

Is it possible to disable the Facetime camera and use an external webcam as a default? So that when you access browser based applications that require a webcam it doesnt default to the Facetime camera but uses the USB webcam instead?
Cheers.

(1) You don't need to "disable" anything to select among cameras connected to your Mac.
For all cameras you access via browser based applications (cameras connect via Flash browser plugins), control-click on an open video window in your browser page and adjust the camera settings to select between a connected USB and Firewire video camera. Specific instructions are here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help04.html
If you don't see a choices of cameras in the Flash settings, your Mac is only recognizing one camera. Verify that your external cam is Mac-compatible and properly connected.
Your choice is stored in preferences so the same camera will activate on the next browser page until you change it.
(2) BTW, a current (Feb 2013) discussion of how to select among connected Mac cameras for a few more apps is available here: http://discussions.apple.com/message/21158673#21158673

Can I disable the wireless functionality and use Ethernet only?

Can you completely disable the wireless functionality and use the Airport Extreme Base Station as a wired internet router with integrated print server?

Yes. I do that. I don't use a print server but I was using that port for an HD. My AExpress connected to it is wired also.

Any way to disable the bluetooth handset and use enable streaming audio only?

I don't use bluetooth in my car to make or receive phone calls and only use it to stream Pandora. On my previous BBs I was able to disable the handset function and just use streaming audio, but I'm not finding any similar options on the Z10. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Right now I'm just powering off my stereo when I receive a call, but that is not a great solution. Thanks for any feedback.
Solved!

Hello rangerdanger and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for your question regarding Bluetooth.
The BlackBerry Z10 does not have the option to edit what services are allowed with a Bluetooth connection.
Depending on your vehicle, you may have to access your Bluetooth set up or settings within your car's dash to control what features are enabled with Bluetooth.
If you are unsure how to access these settings, contact your dealership or consult your owners manual.
Cheers!

Disable video card driver and use generic VGA

Is there a way to just use a generic VGA driver for the macbook pro? I'm having problems with my macbook pro regarding display issues and crashing. It works fine in safe mode, which disables the ati video driver. Is there a way to have the macbook pro disable the default video driver and just use a 2d accelerated generic driver?
Thanks

How to disable Intel HD graphics and use nvidia card?

Hello,
I would like to ask for some assistance.
I want to use the Gtx 630m but instead the laptop keeps using the Intel HD chipset.
What I tried so far:
1. In nVidia control panel I set nVidia graphics card as default in global setting, and for several programs I frequently use as well
2. In BIOS there is no option for Switchable Graphics
Is there any BIOS update for this?
Thanks!

If you are trying to stop using the intel gpu all together you are not going to be able to do that at all.
They system and the software are designed to work with both GPU chipsets and assign accordingly.
I hope this helps.

You can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use the latest version of iphoto

you can't open photo library using this version of iphoto. you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iphoto. please quit and use latest version of iphoto. iphoto 11 is installed.

This is a message you got?
If so, as your post isn't clear, it may be a bogus message caused by a corrupt database.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I am getting a message that my iphoto library cannot be opened because I mades changes to my photos in a newer version of iphoto and I need to quit and use the newest version of iPhoto. but i cannot update it and or access my photos. Help. thanks.

I am getting a message that my iphoto library cannot be opened because I mades changes to my photos in a newer version of iphoto and I need to quit and use the newest version of iPhoto. but in update, it says i have no updates. i dont even remember making changes in iphoto.Help. thanks.

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

This is the message I'm getting when I try to open iphoto. This happened after a member of the genius bar fixed the problem with the download of the update of the Mac OSX combined.

Well, I'll guess it's iPhoto 11 then.

How to prevent people asking how to prevent "click to activate and use this control"

When I visit the fourms, I keep seeing these questions about
how to disable
"click to activate and use this control". Its really annoying
and
disrupting my web experience. I do know this really this is a
blatant
attack on Adobe and Flash by Microsoft and is obviously
related to the Adobe
takeover of Macromedia, and probably also related to the fact
that it is now
impossible for anyone to install Flash Player (which Adobe is
ignoring
because their support is so useless since the takeover). Is
there something
I can do to prevent these questions being posted? I've
searched all the
forums and cannot find any information. Surely someone else
has had this
problem.

How can I Hide(not Disable) the Save As and Exit options in the File menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013?

Hi,
I want to hide(not disable) the "Save As" and "Exit" options in the File Menu of Excel Documents in SharePoint 2013.When I make changes in the excelribbon.css file of xlviewer.aspx,all the options under File menu are getting hidden but
I want to hide only these two options while retaining the others.
Kindly suggest me a method to achieve this.
Looking forward to your reply at the earliest.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sanjana

Hi Sanjana,
To hide the “Save As” and “Exit” options in xlviewer.aspx page in SharePoint, I recommend to use the code below(however it is not recommended):
<style>
div.cui-menusection li.cui-menusection-items:nth-child(2)
display:none !important;
div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_menuJewelSaveAs{
display:none !important;
div#m_excelWebRenderer_ewaCtl_msJewelSecondary{
display:none !important;
</style>
As “:nth-child()” selector is supported in IE 9 and later versions, please use IE 9 or later versions’ IE browser.

Best regards.

I have been using aurora and updated to 12.0a2 and my computer continually freezes even after disabling all plug-ins and i have even dumped stuff from the memory on my hard drive.

i continually get the same 12.0a2 update box that pops up in the bottom right corner even though i have the updated version and i have to wait for the aurora updater to do something everytime i start a new session. i went through and disabled all plug-ins and have no extensions active and this doesn't solve the problem. according to plug-in check all plug-ins are up to date. aurora does crash every once in a while where it closes out all my windows...but i do not get the crash report anymore to report it. is there a problem with aurora? i even updated FF in case that had a factor in the crashes/freezes!! FF used to do this same thing all the timea fter a new update but this is ridiculous!! WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? typos courtesy of freezing!!!is there a problem with aurora? i can't go more than 2 minutes without constant freezing and the "not responding" message. i have run scans on my computer weekly since i updated to aurora and there is no threats/problems...why does this keep happening?
addendum...i have added the crash reports for the last week...does that give any insight into why this keeps happening?

i am not sure what this means? "not for public use"? i did not seek out another version of FF it was an option on mozilla's page when i needed to update FF!! i know that i will run into these problems if i do not keep current and it was an option so i chose it. are you suggesting that i dump aurora from my system and go back to using just FF? i'm not a developer or know anything deep regarding the physical or logical of systems...i am just trying to keep good maintenance on my system!! i need a browser that works with me and not against me...chrome does not do what i need...neither does opera...FF is the only browser that i have used for almost 4 years now and i don't plan on going back to IE or changing to those mentioned above...i just want to know that when i see new offerings on mozilla products and i accept them into my system that they work much better than what i am experiencing currently!! i get that it is open-sourced and therefore a work in progress
