• Integrating the PHP Based Forum Component in CQ5 Pages.

  We have the requirement to integrate the Php based forum product (VBulletin) in our CQ5 pages. Have anyone already integrated the Php based prodcuts with CQ5? Especially i would like to know the feasibilty on the following point.
  A. Do we need to implement the Wrapper Service to interact with Php based products / APIs?
  Thanks,
  Thyshiva.

  There of course multiple ways to attempt to integrate with a service like this, the approriate approach will vary based on your requirements.
  The first question I would ask is what functionality are you trying to integrate into you CQ5 pages. Are you just trying list summaries of posts - say the 3 most recent posts on topic X, or are you attempting to display the complete forum functionality in a CQ 5 page.
  If you doing a light weight integration - for example displaying the most recent posts then I would explore the possiblity of a client side integration using AJAX to pull the data from your PHP system in JSON or XML format. This avoids any caching related issues and keeps the integration loosely coupled. There are of course variations on these methods that use CQ as a proxy to the PHP application, but then you end up having to write a OSGI wrapper service that talks to your PHP app over web services.
  If your integration is more complicated and you are looking to enable all the forum functionality. If your PHP app is visually the same as you CQ5 site you can make use of a iframe to include it in a CQ page. This obviously have potential issue (security, layout issues if sizes or CSS aren't consistent). CQ5 includes a foundation component to help with this - the External component which leverages an iframe.
  If an iframe or client side approach won't work then you would need to look at creating a set of OSGI wrapper services that communicate with your PHP application via web services. This obvious would be a singificant development effort, and depending on the capabilities of you PHP application may be difficult to implement. In particular user management and security integrations be complex (you can avoid these sorts of issues with a client side or iframe approach, especially if you can sub-domain the PHP app, or use the same apache server to host both dispatcher and you PHP app).

• Help With Editing The Background Color On PHP-Based Photo Gallery Software!

  I recently installed and began using some PHP-based photo
  gallery software for my website. I've been able to customize other
  areas of the software's appearance (text color, etc), but am unsure
  of what need to be done to change the background on the 'Default'
  skin from white to black. Any suggestions? Below are copies of the

  If you've set up your site definition properly in
  Dreamweaver, you should
  be able to copy the table in design view from home.html and
  paste into
  gallery/index.php and DW will correct the paths
  automatically. It /might/
  even copy the relavent JavaScript over (I don't have DW on
  this computer to
  test that).
  But to answer your question, any path to the images must
  point to the site
  root (where your images are stored). The links will likely
  need to point
  there as well. For example, the Home button in your table
  gets its image
  from:
  src="Home Navigation Home01.png"
  In order for that to work from pages in the gallery folder,
  it will need to
  be linked with either a site root relative, or a simple
  relative path:
  src="/Home Navigation Home01.png"
  The above example tells the server to look for the image in
  the site's root
  folder.
  src="../Home Navigation Home01.png"
  This example tells the server to get the image from one
  folder up from the
  current folder.
  Likewise for the links. ie: href="Home.html" would become
  either
  href="/Home.html" or href="../Home.html"
  href="phpBB3/index.php" could become href="/phpBB3/index.php"
  or even
  href="/phpBB3/"

• Anyone have experience with other PHP Frameworks?

  Hey PHP devs,
  I was hoping to get some advice on what other PHP Framework you guys like to use. (I realize ADDT might not be considered a PHP framework.)
  I love the ADDT Framework, and it is a wonderful tool for many of the projects I do. However, I have a project coming up that will be much more extensive than my usual work. Don't get me wrong, I have built some fairly complex dynamic PHP applications with ADDT, but with this next project I need to go for more of an MVC type application. Also, I need to separate the php from the html.
  Right now I am looking at CakePHP, symfony, CodeIgniter, and of course Zend. Anyone have any experience with these? Has anyone used ADDT along with another framework? Supposedly these frameworks can be used together in combinations.
  Thanks for any advice.
  Shane

  Hi Shane,
  from all the frameworks you mention, Zend seems to get the highest appreciation from the developer crowd, whereas you´ll find a nice mixture of good & bad reviews on all others.
  I realize ADDT might not be considered a PHP framework
  what else would you call it ? :-)
  Supposedly these frameworks can be used together in combinations
  I doubt you´ll be able to use ADDT in conjunction with e.g. Zend, and from what I know, every framework out there is a sort of "closed system" with no hooks to access the methods used by other frameworks.

• My Experiences With The A Series NW-A867

  Having owned this Walkman for about one month, I thought it may be helpful to share my experiences with it. Earlier, I questioned this particular model on this post here: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=12708
  First, I receive very little software support for this model at all. x-app will not install on my non-Japanese Windows 7. Due to this, I have no ability to create playlists to transfer to my Walkman. Due to one neat feature of this Walkman I will describe below, it turns out that this is a minor inconvenience for me. I also downloaded the Content Transfer application from Sony of Japan's website. This utility does install and work on my version of Windows 7. It's more of a convenience app though. It does offer the ability to check for firmware updates for my Walkman. This makes the utility worthwhile.
  I mentioned above the inability to create my own playlists for my Walkman. The Sensme feature makes up for this (to some extent) by creating random channels of my library I can select. The first channel of this feature picks songs based on the current time of day. For this reason, it is important to set the date and time of the Walkman. The random channel feature has not played a repeat song for me yet in all the time I have listened to my Walkman. I currently have 6,605 MP3 files stored with 5.61GB free, so I have a decent sized library. The Sensme random channel is nice, but it is not perfect. The 'Picks of The Day' channel usually plays moderate to up-tempo songs. This channel is featured from 10AM to 4PM every day. However, for some strange reason, Miles Davis' Flamenco Sketches from his Kind of Blue CD was chosen to be played on this channel. This song did not fit in with the mix at the time at all, so I'm not sure why it was selected. Other than this incident, the random channel feature plays songs of a similar tempo. It does appear that genre is ignored, so it's not unusual to have any type of song played in a mix.
  I usually have the song shuffle feature turned on unless I am listening to a complete CD. This allows me to select a specific genre of music and hear a mix of only that genre. I can also select a specific artist to hear a mix of only that artist, and so on.
  The video feature I do not use at all, so I cannot comment on it.
  One complaint about this Walkman is the ear buds. These are constantly falling out of one ear. Also, the ear buds must be inserted fully into your ears to hear a full sound. If they are not pushed into your ear firmly, you will hear a sound lacking bass. I have to push the ear buds into my ear every so often, because they come out on their own. Any headphones will work with this Walkman, but for the built-in noise canceling feature, you must use the supplied headphones. Sony does not appear to sell headphones separately that are compatible with this noise canceling feature.
  This Walkman does not appear to be an MPT compatible device at all. It appears to work only as a UMS device. At least if there is a way to configure it as an MPT device, I have found no way to do it. The difference between the two here is that some features are not available via Windows Media Player through Windows (such as playlist creation and transfer).
  So far, I am impressed with this Walkman. I see nothing else on the market that compares to it feature for feature, size and storage capacity.

  Thank you for your post and detailed observations which I'm sure will be very useful to anyone contemplating purchase of NW-A867.

• Anyone having experience with MapViewer

  Because I don't find much topics about MapViewer in this forum or documentation on the whole Oracle-site I wonder if there are people who worked successfully with MapViewer.
  I've got it going. The provided demo are working even with my own spatial data.
  But now I want to extent the demos to meet my demands/requests. But I find it very difficult to find sample code. I'm specially looking for sample code to use MapViewer in a java-applet and code using jsp and the javabean and creating a dynamic legend.
  So my questions are:
  * Are there people who use MapViewer and what are your experiences with it.
  * Where can I find other sample code than the demo code provided by Oracle.
  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Paul
  I am currently doing a project namely "LOCATION BASED SERVICES AND PROXIMITY ANALYSIS". It's basically a GIS through which users can query the desired objects (SCHOOLS,HOTELS,ATMs etc) that are close to there location.The response is in the form of a map.
  I am using mapviewer as a middle tier redering tool.
  Would you plz help me that in which format do we load maps and how do we define spatial data that is to be used by mapviewer.

  Hi,
  I haven't. But, there are lots of changes from each service packs,

• Any kind of integration experience with Weblogic JMS and Oracle AQ?

  Hi,
  In my company I work with java developers who believe in some kind of "holly" database independence I don't understand and as a result my life as a database developer is hell on earth.. Yesterday we again started to discuss, this time where to log, they believe database is slow and prefer logging to filesystem, after some hours finally I could convince them for some operational and reporting needs to use the database and will do this in an asyncronous way whiich they won't get slow. After all I believe the reason for a database is data, this is the place where data lives, and with the correct desing and implementation logging to database would perform better.
  I love Oracle features, and know that we paid a lot for this software, so today I started investigating this promised solution. And quickly I found AQ and JMS topics in the documentation :)
  After this introduction here is my problem; my company use BEA Weblogic as application server and the java guys want AQ to automatically (but of course with some delay) take their JMS log requests into database tables. Does any one have similar application experience, or any kind of integration experience with Weblogic JMS and Oracle AQ?
  Any comments, references, documentation, sample code, url will be most welcomed :)
  Thank you very much!

  http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/web_services/jmsws/NewsQueueEJB.java.html

  I wouldn't go as far to say Oracle AQ is out-dated today. However, it is indeed a proprietary technology that did not found much main-stream adoption in the earlier years after its introduction. The advent of JMS made it somewhat more useful (or should I say intriguing, because more people are trying to tie it together with other J2EE technologies), but the Oracle's JMS wrapper classes in aqapi.jar were not feature complete for a long while, so using it outside Oracle's application server was painful, if not impossible. I do agree that the info at the dev2dev's JMS newsgroup or in this forum is highly fragmented, as neither Oracle nor BEA provides an official solution to integrate AQ with WebLogic, so people like us have to learn the technology through experimentation and in a piecemeal fashion.
  3 years ago I was literally "playing around" - we had a polling mechanism set up to use triggers to write Oracle data changes into an event table, and had a Java-based daemon to scan that table and publish events as JMS messages to the WebLogic JMS server. This continues to work reliably till today, but I was looking for a solution that has few parts - I wanted to hook up my WebLogic MDB directly to AQ as a foreign JMS provider. Although I was able to get it to work (including XA), there were a few hoops I had to jump through, such as decompiling the Oracle AQjms classes to make them bind to the WebLogic JNDI tree.
  One year after that Diptanshu Parui took what I did a giant step further - he extended the Oracle AQjms classes to allow them to be bound to the WebLogic JNDI tree naturally, and he figured out how to use WebLogic JMS messging bridge to re-send single-threaded AQ JMS messages to clustered JMS queues, which allow concurrent message assumption by multiple instances of MDB's. My impression is that he is using that setup in a production environment.
  I am sure you are aware of it but I would like to make it clear - in order to use AQ as a foreign JMS provider to WebLogic-hosted MDB's, you don't need to update your database to Oracle 10g - Oracle 8i is good enough (although I recommend at least 9i Release 2). It is not the database engine, but rather the aqapi.jar JMS wrapper on top of AQ that matters. I do recommend that you use aqapi.jar from Oracle Application Server 10.0.3 or up for better XA support, among other things. Again, you don't have to replace WebLogic with Oracle AS - you only need a single jar file from it and put it in your WebLogic's classpath. However, I don't know what this means from a licensing point of view if you ever go to production - do you have to pay the full price of OracleAS or OC4J just to use the aqapi.jar?
  In the coming days I will test the latest aqapi.jar to see how much progress Oracle has made in terms of making their J2EE products more spec-compliant :-).
  Hope the above gives you a different perspective.

• Does anyone has experiences with dnscrypt?

  Hello,
  DNSCrypt is a little tool that install a proxy between your system and the DNS-Sever like google or your provider. As you know, the Traffic to the DNS-Severs isn't enryptet so anyone that have the potential can catch your IP-Adress. DNSCrypt install a proxy and encrypt all the Traffic between your machine and the DNS-Server.
  My Question, have any experiences with this Tool on the Mac?

  I followed the advice given here : http://www.pro-networks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=78185&postdays=0&postorder=asc&sta rt=10 and solved this booting issue. So now Vista works on my M40.
  The Vista Performance Index ranks my M40 with 3.4 (I think 5.9 is the maximum) which isn´t that bad. Even Aero works. The weakest component (which is the crucial factor for the Performance rank) is the CPU.
  All hardware components are working except the pcmcia drive. Most of the drivers where already installed after my first boot. I only had to tell Vista to search for audio-drivers online to get the sounddrivers too.
  Well, some special toshiba things aren't working because the drivers are missing. Those shortcut-keys for instance. I think I will also install XP in parallel because I'm missing some applications for Vista and I also wanna play some of my games from time to time.
  After all I can say Vista is working good on an M40-129. But so far I wasn't able to discover any real benefits compared to XP. But I like to play around and so I now have a new playground called Vista.

• [SOLVED] SQLite not working with PHP

  For reasons unknown, I cannot get PHP to work properly with SQLite. I have uncommented the "extension=sqlite.so" in /etc/php/php.ini, ensured that PHP's configuration was being loaded from said file, and made sure PHP was working fine with my server of choice (lighttpd). Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work, as evidenced by
  Fatal error: Call to undefined function sqlite_open() in test.php on line x
  Which is what PHP spits at me. I've checked lighty's logs and nothing's wrong. PHP's set to send to syslog, so I'm not sure where I could check on that. Here is a quick look at PHP's setup.
  My /etc/php/php.ini:
  [PHP]
  ; About php.ini ;
  ; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior. In order for PHP to
  ; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current
  ; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable
  ; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
  ; The path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overridden using
  ; the -c argument in command line mode.
  ; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines
  ; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
  ; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
  ; they might mean something in the future.
  ; Directives are specified using the following syntax:
  ; directive = value
  ; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar.
  ; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one
  ; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression
  ; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), or a quoted string ("foo").
  ; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses:
  ; | bitwise OR
  ; & bitwise AND
  ; ~ bitwise NOT
  ; ! boolean NOT
  ; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
  ; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.
  ; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal
  ; sign, or by using the None keyword:
  ; foo = ; sets foo to an empty string
  ; foo = none ; sets foo to an empty string
  ; foo = "none" ; sets foo to the string 'none'
  ; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a
  ; dynamically loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension),
  ; you may only use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension.
  ; About this file ;
  ; This is the recommended, PHP 5-style version of the php.ini-dist file. It
  ; sets some non standard settings, that make PHP more efficient, more secure,
  ; and encourage cleaner coding.
  ; The price is that with these settings, PHP may be incompatible with some
  ; applications, and sometimes, more difficult to develop with. Using this
  ; file is warmly recommended for production sites. As all of the changes from
  ; the standard settings are thoroughly documented, you can go over each one,
  ; and decide whether you want to use it or not.
  ; For general information about the php.ini file, please consult the php.ini-dist
  ; file, included in your PHP distribution.
  ; This file is different from the php.ini-dist file in the fact that it features
  ; different values for several directives, in order to improve performance, while
  ; possibly breaking compatibility with the standard out-of-the-box behavior of
  ; PHP. Please make sure you read what's different, and modify your scripts
  ; accordingly, if you decide to use this file instead.
  ; - register_long_arrays = Off [Performance]
  ; Disables registration of the older (and deprecated) long predefined array
  ; variables ($HTTP_*_VARS). Instead, use the superglobals that were
  ; introduced in PHP 4.1.0
  ; - display_errors = Off [Security]
  ; With this directive set to off, errors that occur during the execution of
  ; scripts will no longer be displayed as a part of the script output, and thus,
  ; will no longer be exposed to remote users. With some errors, the error message
  ; content may expose information about your script, web server, or database
  ; server that may be exploitable for hacking. Production sites should have this
  ; directive set to off.
  ; - log_errors = On [Security]
  ; This directive complements the above one. Any errors that occur during the
  ; execution of your script will be logged (typically, to your server's error log,
  ; but can be configured in several ways). Along with setting display_errors to off,
  ; this setup gives you the ability to fully understand what may have gone wrong,
  ; without exposing any sensitive information to remote users.
  ; - output_buffering = 4096 [Performance]
  ; Set a 4KB output buffer. Enabling output buffering typically results in less
  ; writes, and sometimes less packets sent on the wire, which can often lead to
  ; better performance. The gain this directive actually yields greatly depends
  ; on which Web server you're working with, and what kind of scripts you're using.
  ; - register_argc_argv = Off [Performance]
  ; Disables registration of the somewhat redundant $argv and $argc global
  ; variables.
  ; - magic_quotes_gpc = Off [Performance]
  ; Input data is no longer escaped with slashes so that it can be sent into
  ; SQL databases without further manipulation. Instead, you should use the
  ; database vendor specific escape string function on each input element you
  ; wish to send to a database.
  ; - variables_order = "GPCS" [Performance]
  ; The environment variables are not hashed into the $_ENV. To access
  ; environment variables, you can use getenv() instead.
  ; - error_reporting = E_ALL [Code Cleanliness, Security(?)]
  ; By default, PHP suppresses errors of type E_NOTICE. These error messages
  ; are emitted for non-critical errors, but that could be a symptom of a bigger
  ; problem. Most notably, this will cause error messages about the use
  ; of uninitialized variables to be displayed.
  ; - allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off [Code cleanliness]
  ; It's not possible to decide to force a variable to be passed by reference
  ; when calling a function. The PHP 4 style to do this is by making the

  After the last update which installed PHP 5.3.0, I'm having a similar problem. PHP fails to recognize any extensions which I've defined in php.ini. PHP itself works just fine, so I'm sure this problem is related to the update of PHP.
  Here's my php.ini:
  [PHP]
  ; About php.ini ;
  ; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior. In order for PHP to
  ; read it, it must be named 'php.ini'. PHP looks for it in the current
  ; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable
  ; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
  ; The path in which the php.ini file is looked for can be overridden using
  ; the -c argument in command line mode.
  ; The syntax of the file is extremely simple. Whitespace and Lines
  ; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
  ; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
  ; they might mean something in the future.
  ; Directives are specified using the following syntax:
  ; directive = value
  ; Directive names are *case sensitive* - foo=bar is different from FOO=bar.
  ; The value can be a string, a number, a PHP constant (e.g. E_ALL or M_PI), one
  ; of the INI constants (On, Off, True, False, Yes, No and None) or an expression
  ; (e.g. E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE), or a quoted string ("foo").
  ; Expressions in the INI file are limited to bitwise operators and parentheses:
  ; | bitwise OR
  ; & bitwise AND
  ; ~ bitwise NOT
  ; ! boolean NOT
  ; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
  ; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.
  ; An empty string can be denoted by simply not writing anything after the equal
  ; sign, or by using the None keyword:
  ; foo = ; sets foo to an empty string
  ; foo = none ; sets foo to an empty string
  ; foo = "none" ; sets foo to the string 'none'
  ; If you use constants in your value, and these constants belong to a
  ; dynamically loaded extension (either a PHP extension or a Zend extension),
  ; you may only use these constants *after* the line that loads the extension.
  ; About this file ;
  ; This is the recommended, PHP 5-style version of the php.ini-dist file. It
  ; sets some non standard settings, that make PHP more efficient, more secure,
  ; and encourage cleaner coding.
  ; The price is that with these settings, PHP may be incompatible with some
  ; applications, and sometimes, more difficult to develop with. Using this
  ; file is warmly recommended for production sites. As all of the changes from
  ; the standard settings are thoroughly documented, you can go over each one,
  ; and decide whether you want to use it or not.
  ; For general information about the php.ini file, please consult the php.ini-dist
  ; file, included in your PHP distribution.
  ; This file is different from the php.ini-dist file in the fact that it features
  ; different values for several directives, in order to improve performance, while
  ; possibly breaking compatibility with the standard out-of-the-box behavior of
  ; PHP. Please make sure you read what's different, and modify your scripts
  ; accordingly, if you decide to use this file instead.
  ; - register_long_arrays = Off [Performance]
  ; Disables registration of the older (and deprecated) long predefined array
  ; variables ($HTTP_*_VARS). Instead, use the superglobals that were
  ; introduced in PHP 4.1.0
  ; - display_errors = Off [Security]
  ; With this directive set to off, errors that occur during the execution of
  ; scripts will no longer be displayed as a part of the script output, and thus,
  ; will no longer be exposed to remote users. With some errors, the error message
  ; content may expose information about your script, web server, or database
  ; server that may be exploitable for hacking. Production sites should have this
  ; directive set to off.
  ; - log_errors = On [Security]
  ; This directive complements the above one. Any errors that occur during the
  ; execution of your script will be logged (typically, to your server's error log,
  ; but can be configured in several ways). Along with setting display_errors to off,
  ; this setup gives you the ability to fully understand what may have gone wrong,
  ; without exposing any sensitive information to remote users.
  ; - output_buffering = 4096 [Performance]
  ; Set a 4KB output buffer. Enabling output buffering typically results in less
  ; writes, and sometimes less packets sent on the wire, which can often lead to
  ; better performance. The gain this directive actually yields greatly depends
  ; on which Web server you're working with, and what kind of scripts you're using.
  ; - register_argc_argv = Off [Performance]
  ; Disables registration of the somewhat redundant $argv and $argc global
  ; variables.
  ; - magic_quotes_gpc = Off [Performance]
  ; Input data is no longer escaped with slashes so that it can be sent into
  ; SQL databases without further manipulation. Instead, you should use the
  ; function addslashes() on each input element you wish to send to a database.
  ; - variables_order = "GPCS" [Performance]
  ; The environment variables are not hashed into the $_ENV. To access
  ; environment variables, you can use getenv() instead.
  ; - error_reporting = E_ALL [Code Cleanliness, Security(?)]
  ; By default, PHP suppresses errors of type E_NOTICE. These error messages
  ; are emitted for non-critical errors, but that could be a symptom of a bigger
  ; problem. Most notably, this will cause error messages about the use
  ; of uninitialized variables to be displayed.
  ; - allow_call_time_pass_reference = Off [Code cleanliness]
  ; It's not possible to decide to force a variable to be passed by reference
  ; when calling a function. The PHP 4 style to do this is by making the

  ; Output buffering allows you to send header lines (including cookies) even
  ; after you send body content, at the price of slowing PHP's output layer a
  ; bit. You can enable output buffering during runtime by calling the output

  ; setting this directive to On. If you wish to limit the size of the buffer

  ; Note: People who wrote portable scripts should not depend on this ini

  ; is doing.

• Miserable experience with replacement LG Fathom, that replaced defective TP2

  Freezes
  It does freeze.
  Alarms don't work right
  I use the alarms & those didn't work right. I had set 1 for 9:30 pm & 1 for 10 pm,  The 10 pm one got up to 12 alarms--even though only 1 was set. Tech support wanted me to do a hard reboot but wasn't very thrilled about that as I would then have to reinstall software & re-set up linking & set up email all over again.
  After awhile I turned off the alarms. But they still went off. I did check--they were turned off. & then it got so the 9:30 one would freeze the whole phone. I couldn't activate the buttons to make it stop or snooze---they didn't respond & the whole phone was frozen so I would have to reset.
  Finally I deleted both alarms & set them up again. Working better, but again the 9:30 one has about 6 alarms that go off so I have to stop each one. I think one time I stopped all & the 10 pm one didn't go off. They are supposed to help remind me to start windiing down--the 9:30 one & then to seriously shut down the computer & get ready for bed.
  Sometimes they don't seem to go off or accidentally get turned off.
  Volume buttons can get bumped & turn to silen so calls missed
  Another issue is that the volume up down buttons can get bumped. A while ago I was trying to set up a drs appt I think it was & was waiting for a call back. I finally called them back when I hadn't heard. I think they said they had tried to call. Later I saw that they had--4x but I discovered the volume was turned off so I missed those important calls.  Not good.
  The keyboard is not very nice.
  Downgrade replacement for defective TP2
  This was a replacement for my defective Touch Pro 2. I had paid for that top of the line phone, & in CA we have to pay sales tax on the full list price!  Someone (obviously going by the specs, not actual usage) raved about how this phone was supposed to be so super. NOT.  The list price was about half that of the TP2. It doesn't have the digital voice recorder the TP2 did, nor a lot of the HTC features that I liked & used like the automatic vibrate for appts that were listed as busy. & I really miss the way that I was able to set several cities up in world clock & then I could easily see what time it was & what the weather was. Nice when friends were in those ciities.
  The keyboard on this is smaller & I keep getting periods in the middle of the sentence when typing emails which then makes the next letter a capital &makes it hard to read. It has 1 less row in the keyboard. The phone is smaller than the TP2, so easier to carry, but harder to see.
  Someone called me on Thanksgiving & I didn't recognize the area code, but I was trying to answer & must have accidentally used the wrong slider so the call disappeared. Then there was some icon at the top, but it was so small I couldn't really tell that it was a voice mail indicator, so I didn't check until way late at night.
  Verizon called this an upgrade--even though it was actually a replacement for a top of the line phone (the TP2 was a cool phone, if only it had worked well but it got so that it would randomly change orientation while I was trying to read an email, & it got so the backlight wouldn't always come on & sometimes even after pressing it multiple times) but I would call this a downgrade. While the processor is about 2x as fast as the TP2, it doesn't really work noticeably faster. I guess that's the winmob OS.
  Win mobile issues
  & of course then Microsoft did a # on users of WinMob 6.5 when they came out with Windows phone 7 which is totally incompatible. So phones that ran 6.5 can't run 7 & the software is incompatible. I had gotten it for busines where we had aps that needed 6.5.
  It has been a miserable experience with both of these phones, when I bought the TP2 I went for the premium phone, planning to keep it for over 2 years. Instead it had multiple issues its 1st year which I put up with for months. Finally got the replacement Fathom, which again, Verizon kept calling an upgrade but its really a downgrade.  I had paid for a top of the line phone, & got an inferior phone, smaller keyboard, & screen, less features & it doesn't work so well.
  Are smart phones less reliable than regular cell phones?
  I don't know if smart phones in general are less relaible than regular cell phones or what, but my experience has been very frustrating all the way. These are supposed to be productivity enhancers. Instead I've had way too many issues, & often tech support, while usually nice & trying to help, they didn't always know what they were talking about.
  Want a reliable smart phone that does what it is supposed to do--feel ripped off
  So I'm frustrated with this not very reliable phone & want to get a reliable phone. But I sure wasn't planning to have to buy a new phone this soon. My previous phone was a basic LG flip phone with speaker & no camera & that thing just worked so I kept it for about 5 years until I needed the win mob phone for biz. I no longer need it for that, & it isn't working very well, but I don't really want to spend the $ for a new phone right now.
  Really frustrated with the bad experiences with both phones.  I feel like I didn't get what I paid for & again I went for a top of the line phone, intending to keep it for several years, not expecting all the problems I've had with both phones. btw, the Fathom retail price was about half that of the TP2, even though the 2 yr agreement price was the same. but in CA we pay sales tax on the full retail.
  I would like to be able to get another smart phone that is really reliable like an iPhone, but really wasn't planning on buying a new phone this soon.

  Greetings caatkins4,
  When your phone is the lifeline to your job, it would be most frustrating to experience issues such as the ones you've described, especially if you do not have a back up in place for when things go wrong. All of our phones are tested to make sure they meet the manufacturer’s specifications before being sent out. It is regretful to hear that the refurbished Samsung Galaxy Note 3 you received may not have met these specifications once it was in your hands.
  I was able to review your services when I located your Geek Squad Protection plan with the email address you registered with the forum. Unfortunately, at this time we would only be able to provide you with another replacement. It appears we've already created the service order necessary, and presently, it appears that a tracking number has been created for your replacement phone. It should ship soon if it hasn't already, as it sometimes takes up to 24 hours for UPS to update their shipping information.
  I apologize if this is of any inconvenience to you. If you should have any questions, please feel welcome to reach out to me.
  Respectfully,
  Tasha|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

• Bad experience with Verizon Fios Internet and Customer Service

  I had an extremely bad experience with Verizon Fios Internet service and I will never use Verizon again. 
  In August 2014, I called and installed the Verizon Fios Internet and phone bundle. I asked the customer agent several times if I will be charged anything before the installation of the Internet and phone service. She said, 'No, we will only start charging after the Internet and phone are installed at your apartment'. I went to the store and picked up the router and phone and installed it at home by myself. The router did not work. I called Tech support and they said it will take several days for another available agent to come and look into the issue. I decided to discontinue the service and closed the account that same night.
  At the end of the month, I received a bill of $80 of activation fee for the internet service. Nothing was ever activated, my internet router did not work, and I got charged an activation fee for a service that I did not even start using. From August to December, I called customer service over 10 times and some of them said they will waive it while the others said it's a non-refundable activation fee. One lady said, 'Ma'am, the activation fee starts when you placed the order, the warehouse received it and packed the router in the boxes....' Isn't that ridiculous? If that's the case, please ask all your customer representative to say a clause before new customers open their account: Are you aware that you will be charged a non-refundable activation fee once you open the account regardless of whether or not you use the service or not. 
  So after 3 months (November 2014), I decided to get out of all these troubles and paid off my $80 activation fee. They put the bill in the collection agency and I called them and paid the overdue balance. Then in December 2014, I received a statement saying I have a $3.11 overdue balance. The collection agency told me that they will charge me for the whole activation fee and a $3 transaction fee for the transaction. So now Verizon came back and said I owed them the $3 because I paid the collection agency their transaction fee. 
  I am very disappointed and furious about the whole Verizon operating system. Charging a customer for an activation fee for a service s/he has not consumed or used does not make any business sense. In addition, they do not know how to coordinate with the collection agency on overdue bills. Give the customer a heads-up that they will be charged a transaction fee on top of the overdue balance, and that transaction fee does not count towards clearing the balance. 
  I have completely lost my confidence in Verizon albeit the many good feedback from my friends. 

  Hi crystallau52,
  Sorry you are having difficulty. An agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or to help you resolve your issue.

• My experience with the Z2

  Hi there!
  I decided to register on this forum as to be able to share my personal experience with the Sony Xperia Z2 thus far.
  To start i want to make it clear that i personally believed this phone offered a rather good experience at first, unfortunately like some other users i too started to notice the phone had its issues which needless to say take away from this 'great' experience it has to offer.
  So lets begin.
  The first Sony Xperia Z2 i received had a lot of issues, this one was a 14w20 version:
  - The device had quite a few scratches on the sides OUT of the box, which nearly made it impossible for me to return it .......
  - The MicroSD flap was not leveled and would stick out very noticeably
  - The Camera lens was not centered
  - The phone had gaps in the upper right corner and the lower left corner which were also very noticeable
  - The phone would not record 4k longer than 2 minutes before it would heat up ( tried multiple times )
  - The pictures would have a very strange colour to them, sort of neon'ish
  - Charging was extremely slow, i specifically used your standard usb cable and i used the Z2 dock, neither had effect
  - The back side would make a very annoying squeeking sound when pressed, even slight pressure would do so
  - The WiFi would be terrible, since i travel a bit i tried it on different networks with pretty much the same results at home and at the office, my other devices have no issues whatsoever nor have they ever had any issues like this device
  - The call quality was rather mediocre, quite a few contacts noticed during calls that they had to concentrate more in comparison to my other devices as to understand what i was saying
  - The 'close cover message' which pops up once you open your flaps would appear out of nowhere, whilst my flaps were closed properly
  To be honest with you there were other issues as well but i think the upper list is rather enough to understand the interest for a replacement.
  And so i did, i had this one replaced for another one, i was barely able to convince my supplier to replace this one due to the scratches it had which they would not believe were present on the device out of the box.
  The second Sony Xperia Z2 was also a 14w20 and.. unfortunately.. it too has issues :
  - The gap issue is present on this one as well, same locations as aforementioned but a tad smaller
  - Recording in 4k now has increased up to 4 minutes before it stops recording, i find this unacceptable
  - The mechanism for open flaps is a good idea were it not for the fact that this device also keeps saying the flaps are open. When they are not I could configure it to stop notifying me but what if some day i go swimming and i believe the flaps are closed since the device does not say they are open and i take a dive? I find this very inconvenient ..
  - Call quality has not improved, my contacts say it sounds muffled and after asking my partner to switch our phones and try calling i totally agree it sounds muffled and one has to concentrate as to understand what the other side is saying ....
  - The WiFi issue is present on this device as well, now i noticed that i have to shut it down and power it back on again as to 'fix' the issue with streaming, i experience it on YouTube, Netflix, Facebook videos and others.
  I also noticed that it d/c's often than not, i tried downloading a 10gb file as to see what happens and it literally stopped
  more than i can count. My other devices do not have this issue... tried this at home and at the office as well.
  - The battery charging issue continues on this one as well, to be sure that it is not related to the electricity at home i took the dock with me everywhere i went and charged it where i could, needless to say it did not matter at all
  I encourage people to test their phones and decide for themselves and not just buy into what i am saying, remember this is my experience with it and yours can be different.
  For me, unfortunately.. i will be returning this one as well and will consider purchasing something else but nowadays it seems personally that quality is hard to find..
  /xiLuS

  I'm far from impressed with mine. Very similar issues and also a cracked bezel. Unless my issues are resolved I'll be going back to an iPhone. At least if there is a hw problem they swap it out there and then. None of this sending away and being without you phone rubbish.
