OVI Suite 2.0 steals focus when phone goes out of ...

I know it is usual methond of SW developer to think, that their program is so important that for most of the events, the SW must pop up and take focus from other windows, or at least start to blink. But in OVI suite it is bad, becouse when this happens (phone is taken out of BT range for example), OVI suite main window pops up and starts scrolling contacts, shows last pictures and messages in the screen.
I understand that the UI designer thought that every sensible user will either lock down the PC when leaving it, or at least close the screen. But it is not always the case. I can imagine very embrassing or even "terminal" results to either working career or personal life, when for example last picture taken with the phone pops up into screen when user walks away with phone in the pocket. At least I have taken pictures with my phone that are not meant for everybody that happens to walk by my PC in the office to see without me showing those.
Same goes to contacts. People will have contact names in the phones that are not stored wihtin any conservative reasoning. Gay **bleep** or STUPID_CUSTOMER are pretty bad phrases scrolling in your workstation screen automatically when you walk to get cup of coffee. No, I dont want to judge people by their sexual behaviour or way they treat their colleagues and customers, but think this as an example.
Further more, it shows the last messages. Of course anyone can walk into PC and start looking your files if it is not locked. But this is only SW ever that does it for you without your approval.
Can this behaviour be cancelled by tweaking the registry or something? There is no config option for it.

I am having the exact same concerns. Please fix this! I am thinking of going back to PC Suite if this annoyance continues.

  • When iPhone is on Cellular data and WiFi, i cannot make calls and phone goes out of service.

    So I have this iPhone 5S unlocked version from the US which I am using in India. When I am connected to my office wireless and also the cellular & 3G data are switched on, my phone goes out of service and I cannot make calls. I can also use internet.
    However this works great when I get onto my home WiFi along with cellular & 3G data switched on, I can make calls and also surf the net with the WiFi.
    Is anyone having similar issue? I am sure there is something with the office WiFi but what could it be to get my phone out of service.
    Any thoughts anybody ?
    Thanks,
    UG

    Yes I shutdown WiFi and I can connect to 3G on Cellular. I can make calls.
    If I shutdown Cellular and connect WiFi. I can make calls.
    Its just that when both are ON, then no calls can be made.
    All combinations work good with Home WiFi.

  • When audio goes out of sync..

    In FCP7, when audio goes out of sync with the video track it came from (even when they are unlinked), a red warning box is displayed on the audio track and tells you how far out of sync it is, which easily enables you to resync.
    Well, in FCX my audio went out of synce, but i didn't know it until i played back a segment i was working on, where i spliced two audio tracks and video tracks together. Right now i'm trying to fix the one audio track so that is synced up with its parent video track, but so far i'm just guessing that it's a good sync rather than knowing FOR SURE whether or not it's truly synced back up.
    Is there any kind of work around, which enables you to resync in a manner similar to  before FCPX?
    Thanks

    I am not sure if your problem has been solved already but here is the way to do that:
    select in the clip in the timeline the part were the audio should be return in sync. use the blade-tool to make that part a seperate clip.
    Higlight this clip in the timeline and use shift-F to highlight this clip in the browser. There it wil show up partially of course.
    Use only the audio and put that part under the selected clip in the timeline where you need the original audio. remove the original out-of-sync audio.

  • Ovi Suite Calendar Sync Issue - crashes when updat...

    Can you help me fix an Ovi Suite sync issue?
    the Ovi suite will only sync when I select the time range as 3 weeks into the past (or less)
    if I select 4 weeks into the past (or more) the Ovi suite crashes about 10 seconds into the sync
    I'm using a Nokia C601, sync to Windows Calendar on Windows Vista
    Ovi Suite Version 3.1.0.84
    Device Software Version 014.002
    I've tried all the obvious: uninstall / reinstall / reboot, updated to the latest version on softtware on both the phone and my PC.
    I've uninstalled my previous Nokia PC Suite
    I'm at a loss at to what else to try to get this working?

    Could you please try this?
    1. Please, check on Task Manager (press ctrl+shift+esc) if you see NokiaOviSuite.exe process twice on the process list? If yes, kill all the instances of NokiaOviSuite.exe, nokiaaserver.exe and NokiaMServer.exe. If not, a reboot should fix the issue.
    or
    2.Choose from Sync menu “Repair sync”. This operation may create duplicate entries in case the sync engine is not able match the records from different end points with each other. Also, all the deleted items which have not been removed from the other end points will be restored to the end point where the item was deleted.
    or
    3. Update phone software (Please take backup before going for software updates.
    or
    4. Atlast uninstall NOS

  • Ovi suite can see maps installed on phone, but pho...

    I was using ovi maps on the phone with no problems.
    After a botched phone backup, I had to do a hard reset of the phone
    Now ovi won't let me download maps to the phone because it thinks they are already there but the phone can't see them (they are all on memory card)
    Also when the phone does try to download the maps it errors (either usb or wifi connection)
    How can I force it to realise that it already has the maps/force ovi suite to update or refresh what is on there?
    nokia 5800

    @adolfgarlic
    Have you tried deleting E:\cities + .qf file from memory card, open Nokia Maps application upon 5800XM to re-define necessary folder structure to re-download your regional maps.
    As your 5800XM does not have mass memory there should not be any conflicts with memory card as storage medium, which can happen upon devices so equipped!

  • Ovi Suite silently connecting to Internet via Phon...

    Since upgrading to Ovi Suite (2.2.1.23) I've found that it will silently connect to the Internet via my phone (E72) if there is any interruption to my wifi connection. I guess that it's tyring to do something "smart" and keep my connection alive, but at the expense of my mobile data plan.
    I've managed to spot this as the speed drops markedly, but I don't think that I'd be so lucky if I was in an Internet cafe etc. where the difference in service might not be so great.
    I haven't seen anyone else report this exact issue, although Ovi Suite does seem keen to connect via the phone instead of established Internet for some operations.
    So have I missed something in the setup that can stop this?

    This seems to be working now. I tried today to download US maps and it completed and installed without any issues. Guess there was some problem with the map server.

  • Firefox steals focus when window is minimized

    It looks like this issue is being ignored/overlooked or shuffled to the bottom of the pile. However, this is the single most annoying issue I have EVER had with Fx.
    Since upgrade to Fx 6, and now 7, Fx will steal focus after being minimized. Doesn't matter what I'm doing, or the app I'm working with, or the add-ons (tried it in safe mode), it regularly (a minute or so) will open and steal focus.
    I've tried using Tweak to prevent apps from stealing focus, tweaked registry settings, and it STILL does it. On a side note, Fx6 was buggier than shit. I fresh installed 7 and its better, but this focus crap has got to stop.
    Please look into this issue, Im not the only one.
    Edit: And it doesn't rely on the web page I'm on. It will do it with the about:blank page.

    I agree this is a complete PITA and is just about to make me change browsers.
    On a dual monitor setup, if I have (for example) my email software on the right screen; and wish to attach photos, picking them out using Windows Explorer (not *Internet* Explorer) on the left screen, any time I click on the left screen, the window containing the email program collapses and the right screen reverts to (I guess) a browser window that Firefox thinks is "more important" than the one I was just working in.
    When I click on the left screen, it should have NO EFFECT on the right screen, and vice versa. If it does, the idea of having the real estate of two screens to work on goes to hell.
    Likewise, if I have Excel running on one screen and a stock charting program running on the other screen, any time I click on the Excel, the stock charting screen collapses and goes to (I guess) a screen (of another open browser window) that Firefox thinks is "more important" than the last thing I was working on.
    I have had this exact setup for about 2 years and it has worked fine. Recently, Firefox upgraded, of course, and I replaced the hard drive.
    If you can't fix this organically, then why not include a feature that would "pin" a given window as "always on top"? Of course, that would cause other problems but it would at least make the browser work the way it should.
    Clicking on one screen should NEVER affect what happens on the other screen! Period!

  • ITunes v11 steals focus when updating applications

    iTunes continually takes focus away from other programs while it is downloading updates to existing applications.
    I search through the preferences and cannot find a place to tell it to stop.
    Please advise on how to stop it!!!
    iTunes version 11.0.0.163
    WIndows 7 x64bit

    I have found a fix that works for me using  iTunes v. 11.0.2.6 and Windows 8
    The fix however eliminates ANY program from stealing focus in windows.  Which I prefer anyway.  This means that you will have to pay attention to your desktop bar or start menu for flashing.  This will let you know the program is asking for your attention.
    Open Regedit
    Browse to HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop\
    Change “ForegroundLockTimeout” to “30d40”  (make sure this is in HEX not Decimal)
    Restart your Computer.
    For those of you worried about messing with your registry, it is a serious thing to do and it should NOT be taken lightly, Here’s the Page from Microsoft telling you what the key is so you know this is legit fix.  I always recommend backing up your registry and creating a save point BEFORE making any changes.

  • Bluetooth Audio dropping out when Phone goes into screen lock

    I have a 3G running 3.0 and a Sony Bluetooth audio capable car stereo. The audio streams perfectly via bluetooth until the phone goes into screen lock or "sleep ", at which time the audio starts drooping out. As soon as you slide to unlock the screen everything works fine again.
    Anyone else with this issue ?

    Yup, that's exactly what I've had.
    I paired a Jabra BT3030 BlueTooth stereo headset module to my 3G and it worked perfectly until the screen went off and then the audio could only be heard intermittently. When the screen came back on, audio was perfect again. This was completely repeatable.
    I posted about this the other day, but just prior to that tried again to confirm and I could NOT get it to occur. No matter how many times I put the iPhone to sleep and woke it up, the audio played consistently with NO dropout which is somewhat frustrating and a bit bizarre.
    Looks like there is an issue with A2DP if several of us are experiencing the same problem so bug report/feedback to Apple is required I think.
    Has anyone else had the problem go away next time you try?

  • Ios 5.0.1 dropping off wap enterprise network when phone goes to sleep

    Same issue that is being discussed about dropping off WAP Enterprise when phone sleeps.  Everytime I have to reconnect and I am ok.  It will not remember the connection.  I own the 4G and it worked fine all the time.  However when updating to the 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 the problem exist.  No problem with cisco linksys connection for home use.. Corporate use is an issue.  Don't see how it worked fine before for multiple users and as soon as we updated to 4G s software the problem started.   This is something in the phone connection and recommend a fix or multiple user will switch products !
    I have restarted phone, reset phone entirely, reloaded phone, reset network settings and master reset...No luck.  When will a fix be coming.

    I did not realize that it had different behavior when plugged in, I just tested and that is the case.  What I find interesting is that it used to stay on wifi all the time before I updated to 7.1.  Also, from what I read when I first got my iphone, was wifi uses less power than mobile data/3G, so that does not make sense to me.  If I have background app updating on it should use wifi when I am home, so it does not use up my data limit. Finally, I have an app from the cable company that gives me caller ID when the home phone rings, and it does not work anymore because the phone reverting to 3G.

  • Adobe SDK steals focus when user is using another application

    Hi,
    I’m relatively new to using the Adobe Acrobat SDK, and I’ve encountered a problem that I can’t seem to solve.  It is probably related to the various Focus-loosing problems in this forum, although I haven't seen an exact duplicate issue, so I'm submitting this one
    We are using Adobe Acrobat Pro Ver 9 and the Adobe Acrobat SDK 9.1.
    We have an application that produces quite a few documents, mostly AutoCAD DWG files and Excel XLS files.  We just wrote a module to take all the documents we’ve created and convert them into PDFs and then into a single PDF Binder, using the Adobe SDK.  Our application is a Microsoft Visual C++ application using Visual Studio 2005.
    We basically took the SDK sample code from the ReadCADFileVC sample, put it into a loop, and tweaked the dialog to make it look the way we wanted.
    In general, this has actually worked great for us.  However, we have encountered a serious problem.  If the user selects a large number of DWG or XLS files to convert, the conversion of course takes some time.  So while it is running, the Users will usually do something else, like write an email, or write a document, or other things where they type on the keyboard.  The problem is, the Acrobat SDK code periodically temporarily steals the focus from the other application the User is working in, and the typed in characters appear to get redirected to the spawned instance of AutoCAD or Excel that the Acrobat SDK created, and this causes the whole process of conversion to simply freeze!!  It also annoys the user when their typed in characters simply do not appear in their email or document.  It appears that the typed in characters get sent to AutoCAD (or Excel), and those applications stop and wait for more input from the user.  In tests with just Acrobat Pro, Excel usually puts up a "Save As.." dialog, whereas AutoCAD interprets the characters as commands for its Command Line, so it just waits for more input from the user.
    As noted above, we’ve also verified that this problem occurs when you simply run Acrobat Pro Ver 9 and use it to convert a DWG file.  If you have an email or Word doc open, then start the conversion, then go back to the email or Word Doc and start typing, eventually Acrobat Pro steals the focus and the typed in input gets redirected to AutoCAD, which causes the conversion process to fail.
    We’ve tried a lot of different things in code, like calling CAcroApp->Hide(), or making it invisible, etc., but nothing has helped!!
    We need help fixing this, since we can’t ship the product with it acting like this!!!
    I have code anyone can look at, but it's rather long to add to this message, and the forum does not appear to allow attacment of files, so if anyone answering this needs the code, I can email it.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the quick reply!
    However, since Acrobat Pro has this problem, and the sample code ReadCADFileVC has this problem,  it does not seem correct to say this is "as designed".  It's a major problem!  Just using Acrobat Pro, the process gets aborted when the user is typing in some other program!  This cannot be deemed acceptable by Adobe?!
    This problem makes using Acrobat Pro, ReadCADFileVC, and the code in our application based on ReadCADFileVC very problematic for our users.  The must be some way to get Windows to prevent this from happening.  I've seen too many other posts on this forum and others about this and realted problems to think that Adobe is going to tell us this is "as designed".
