Picking between the Bold and Storm 2

I have the blackberry Storm 2 and I'm having problems with sending and receiving bbm's, the phone freezes in the middle of texting, and during phone calls it hangs up on the person and I would then have to call them back. I've been to the store 5 times in the last month and am on my third storm 2 in a month. I was finally able to downgrade to the bold and I don't know if I should stick with the Storm 2 or switch to the bold. Someone please tell me.

In my opinion, the Bold is a nice, solid device without nearly as many issues as the Storm 2. Plus you can get OS 6 on it.
If you can live without the larger screen and touch screen, the Bold would be a very good choice. I've picked up the device in stores, and the build quality is superb.

What are the differences between the Tour and the Bold ??

I am eligible for the "new-every-2" and I REALLY want to get the TORCH, but since Verizon can't get off it's duff and hurry along the production of a similar model, I am stuck with looking at the Bold. I don't want the Droid or the Storms. I don't like how the Storms don't have a physical keyboard and how you have to press and "click" the screen. You can't just touch it like with the Droids.
Anyway....... I am looking at the Bold and wondered what the real differences are between the Bold and the Tour, other than the Track-Pad (which I've heard is a HUGE improvement!) ?? If the differences are really not significant, then I'll just stick with my Tour until Verizon finally DOES come out with a new model that I'd actually like to try.
Thanks.

Hi,
I had a thread about this very thing, a comparison between the two devices. Go to http://community.vzw.com/t5/BlackBerry-Devices/Tour-and-the-Bold-Compared/td-p/211580 to see what I wrote.

Swap between Droid 2 and Storm 2

I currently use a Droid 2 Global and love the android OS. However I need to support the BlackBerry server and business apps than run on the BlackBerry OS. I need to use and be much more familiar with the BlackBerry phone. I would like to keep the Droid around for testing in the future and use the Storm more day to day.
If I purchase a BlackBerry storm 2 and subscribe to the BB plan, could I swap back and forth between the droid and storm relatively easily?
What are the potential pitfalls of purchasing a new Storm via eBay or some other outlet?

This sounds like a plan ... the top business communication platform for day-to-day, and you can still stay current with what's going on with Android.
The BlackBerry Internet Service plan has a different code than the smartphone data plan, so the swapping might not be seamless. You may have to call customer service, but they will happily do this for you. I've done it many times. You may want to ask though if you're limited to two plan changes per month.
Re: the Storm 2 ... I am a big fan of buying phones on eBay. However, because the S2 has some glitches, I would probably feel more comfortable buying a certified preowned from this site ... at least you know it's gone through testing. It's $70 on a one-year, so you can still upgrade in 10 months when newer BlackBerry models are out. If you really don't want to burn your upgrade, then hopefully you can find something affordable yet fully functional on eBay.
Good luck!

I'm debating between the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

I'm debating between the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

It appears that is up to me to pick up the mantel and defend the 17" MBP (As an owner of two of them).
Yes it is heavier that the 15" model, and by an enormous 16 ounces! Not a day goes by that I contemplate acquiring a fork lift to move that obese beast.
Oh that 17' screen, the Cinemascope of laptops. The extra space adds to the efficiency of use and has an edge when viewing DVDs or when converted to a HD TV. (I will grudgingly acknowledge eww's recommendation to check out the high resolution properties prior to purchase)
It has a express card slot that allows for eSata connections (No mere SD card slot). Most useful when one has to transfer large file to and from external drives. In addition it has three USB ports rather than just two (I probably should not let it be known that I have yet to use all of the simultaneously).
Off my soap box.
Is it worth an extra $300? That becomes an individual choice. Either way the final decision is going to be a good one.
Ciao.

Error 13641 - The Subnet prefix must be between the starting and ending values

Hi All,
I can honestly say hand on heart that this is the first time I have ever asked for help in a forum in over 15 years but this is doing my head in..
I have a Sys Center 2012 R2 deployment.. VMM R2 up to RU3, Edge Cluster (2 hosts), Management Cluster (2 hosts), 2 x Production Compute Clusters (total of 20 hosts). I have a HA Network Virt Gateway deployed on the edge cluster.
All Hosts have the new DHCP install done and the RU3 SQL patch is completed as outlined in deployment manual.
Everything had been running fine for some time after RU3 update... I am experiencing an issue whereby I get the following error anytime I try and attach a NVGRE VM network to a VM, or when I try and migrate a VM with a NVGRE network attached to another
host.
Error (13641)
The specified subnet prefix must be between the starting and ending values for the range.
Starting value: 4
Ending value: 30
Recommended Action
Specify a suitable subnet prefix.
All subnets in the entire network are /24's so prefix isn't an issue.
I can successfully attach a standard vm network but get the above error when working with NVRGE networks..
Further to this, if I restart VMM the DHCP function to VM's with NVGRE networks doesn't get picked up until I trigger a change in config on the VM, then it will get IP and function as expected.
I have checked all logs, there aren't any errors that I can see.
get-netvirtualizationlookuprecord throws out VM's and PA's as expected, but again not until I manually interfere with the VM in question.
Have any of you come across this before?? I want to check before I go rebuilding the PA network entirely and having to cleanup all existing VM networks to do it..
Any help or guidance would be appreciated..
Cheers
Nathan

I have seen this message before, "specify a suitable subnet prefix".
In my case, the NVGRE policies were out of sync due to HW issues on several hosts.
Here's some steps in order to troubleshoot/fix:
run the following cmdlet: Get-SCVMHost | Read-SCVMhost -RunAsynchronously
Check for any errors in the job log that refers to "Network Virtualization".
If this doesn't help, a recycle of the VMM Management server should do a "hard refresh" of the NVGRE policies, and it might include a reboot of the nvgre hosts too.
This solved the case in my situation.

Communication between the computer and the disc drive failed

The disc can’t be burned because because communication between the computer and the disc drive failed (error code 0x80020022). This computer has been out of the box for less than a month and this has been a growing problem.

My problem was FIXED at the apple store..... there was something wrong in the system preferences and the genius deleted something that recreated it's self. Surely enough we we're able to burn a 600 mb dmg of nothing onto a few test disks. For anyone having this issue...it's NOT The media, it's some configuration issue within the computer's preferences. I'm telling you all to take your machine to the nearest apple store and have them fix it, if your machine is still under warranty the fix is free. There was no hardware issue, so the optical drive was not replaced.

Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC & and few Comments About the Playbook Tethering

Tethering via USB between the Z10 and a laptop or PC can be a bit tricky.
On the Z10 do the following:
On the Z10 go to the Settings.
Go to Network Connections.
Go to Internet Tethering.
Select USB.
Turn on Tethering.
On the computer run the Blackberry Link software for the Z10:
Once the software starts, connect the Z10 via the USB cable to the PC.
Open the browser.
You should now be able to cruise the net, and do emails.
With the Playbook, the Bluetooth tethering does not yet work. This may be an OS or communications issue.
The best way to tether the Playbook for full speed and functions is using the WiFi option. Simply turn on the WiFi hot spot option and follow the instructions. The Playbook WiFi must also be properly set up. The Z10 USB and Bluetooth tethering mode must be turned off when using the WiFi mode. You can leave the base Bluetooth active on the Z10. There is a lot of available information about using the WiFi hot spot from the Z10. The process is very similar to the past models of Blackberry phones.
If you use the Bridge mode to tether, the Playbook email client software does not work very well. The browser will work fairly well, but slower with the Bridge mode. With WiFi the Playbook can brows at very high speed. With Bluetooth it is restricted to about 1.5 to 2.5 mb/sec. Take care that the WiFi mode burns through battery time very fast on both the Playbook and the Z10. Using the Bridge mode uses less power consumption than WiFi.
To use the Bridge mode, make sure the Playbook and the Z10 are first Bluetooth mated. Also the Bridge mode has to be set up between the devices. You will have to first install the Bridge software in to the phone for this to work.
I did extensive testing between the Z10 and the Playbook. They function well together as far as Internet and email are concerned, in consideration of using either tether or Bridge, depending on what you want to do.
From what I understand the Bridge mode uses some compression. It will not be as fast as using WiFi or Bluetooth tethering. The data cost using the Bridge mode is probably a bit lower because of the compression.
As far as the Bridge phone options are concerned, these features are not yet available. From what I read in a number of articles there are going to soon be some updates coming out to fix this. The Bridge options are a big part of the tablet application with the Blackberry phone. This was the big original application point of this tablet, otherwise any generic tablet would do the job.

From the look of this thread it appears that no one outside of Canada uses an OS 10 BB yet. 247 views and no comments or help ? I'm sure I'm not the only BB user that uses Tether. If BB doesn't care to help then this will just be another nail in the corporate coffin that has been projected.
Maybe we need different forums for US users as the Canadians don't seem to have the same issues or cares.
The whole idea of the app Tether is not to have to pay the outrageous tethering fees that US carriers charge and it has worked well for years. But it can't work and won't work in the future without help from BB and the BB community.

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

My 1st Generation time capsule won't connect to the internet thru a new motorola sb6121 - get continuously flashing yellow light. Using a router in between the modem and capsule yields good but slower connection to internet. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your response
Let me give the history - I started with an Apple Express being fed thru a D-Link EBTR 2310 cable Router from an RCA DCM315 Modem (Pure). Comcast service all the way.
Got the 1st generation TC in 2008 and merely replaced the Airport Express with the TC. Worked ok
A year or two ago I did try removing the modem and feeding the TC directly from the modem. Resulted in the same condition I have now - Continuous flashing amber on the TC. So I put the router back in the chain.
Some time later, at the recommendation of a Comcast rep, I replaced the router with (a Belkin F5D 5231) to see if speed and dropout problems would be improved. I thought it helped some at the time but now I am not so sure.
Last week I decided to see if a new modem would help with download speeds. So I got another pure cable modem (Motorola SB 6121- high on the Comcast recommended list).
Got up and running easily with Comcast help and with the modem connected directly to a computer.
Next I put the TC in the link and again could not get past the TC continuing to flash amber. Although I did get connected to the internet with this configuration I lost connection two both of my printers - one connected by USB and the other wirelessly to the TC. Again everything works fine when I put the Belkin router back in the system.
However with the router in there, the modem shows the downstream connection to be 10/100 ethernet speed. (Modem light changes color for indicating speeds.}
I have gone thru all of the combinations of powering down/ up, but all stays the same.
I can live with what I have but something still doesn’t seem right.
Thanks again

Can't establish wireless connection between the printer and computer.

I recently upgraded my wireless to an Apple AirPort Time Capsule. I'm able to set up the printer via USB cable. And I'm able to set up the printer on the network via the Airport WPA utility. However I cannot establish a wireless connection between the computer and the printer. When I go to the printers window in my system prefereces, there is no wireless printer available to add in the "available printers" menu. Only the USB version printer is listed and of course when I disconnect the USB cable it shows as offline.I've tried all the fixes on HP's support pages. I've tried reinstalling the printer on both the router and the computer numerous times. The only thing I haven't done is reinstall the printer using the "Install Wizard" software that is supposed to come with the printer - (mine never came with it in the first place and of course HP doesn't have it available for download). And when I reset the printer to factory settings, then connect it to the computer via the USB, there is no installation software that pops up. Cant even find the **bleep** thing in "Finder". (I'm assuming that it should show up as some sort of external device.) I've checked to make sure both computer and printer are on the same network. (sometimes my computer will grab a connection with the next nearest network.) I've checked all the settings for the printer via the HTML configuration utility. I've even updated my Macbook software and restarted it multiple times. Note: the printer actually worked for a bit when I first switched routers, but the printer's wireless function went offline several times and then quit altogether. Really frustrated that I bought another HP product thinking this time things would be different. HP is no help unless you want to pay $$ for a phone call. I'm about ready to take this thing out in the desert to use for target practice and never buy another HP product ever again.

Hi , I saw your post regarding the problems you are having with your LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer not showing on your Macintosh computer. I may have found some resources for you.
I have a few questions for you, so I can offer some additional assistance:Before you upgraded to the Apple AirPort Time Capsule, was the printer working wirelessly without any issues?
When you say; 'I reset the printer to factory settings', how where you trying to do this?
I found some instructions from this post: How do I reset my Laserjet p1102w to its defaults, copied here for you:
To restore the printer back to factory settings, turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and the cancel button (x button) then turn the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise. (When they say turn the printer off, I think they mean unplug the power cable.)
"I've checked to make sure both computer and printer are on the same network." Do you know if you are able to access the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS)?To access the EWS - Make sure that the Ready light () is on and that the printer is idle and silent.Press and hold the Cancel button (), and release it when the Ready light () begins blinking.The configuration page prints.Type the IP address or host name of the product in the address field of a supported Web browser, and then press Enter on your keyboardLet me know if this page loads
To answer a few more items you have listed:... When I go to the printers window in my system preferences, there is no wireless printer available to add in the "available printers" menu.This could be an issue with your print system, I recommend resetting the printing system and then Repair Disk Permissions - after that try to add the printer again.
... the "Install Wizard" software that is supposed to come with the printer - (mine never came with it in the first place and of course HP doesn't have it available for download)HP provides their software/drivers to Apple to be released through your Apple software updates. You can review this document on how to Install a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update. Which leads into your next point...
... there is no installation software that pops upWhen you connect the USB cable your mac may still recognize the printer software as being already installed - check for apple updatesOn the Mac, click the Apple menu (), and then click Software Update, or click About this Mac, and then click Software Update. A list of available updates displays.
... Not seeing the printer in "Finder" From what I understand most printers will not show in Finder unless you install a memory card into a supported port on certain printer models, only then will it read it like an external device. A few more things you can check are that the new settings in the Apple AirPort Time Capsule are setup to allow the printer to communicate. There are several of these settings listed in this document; Tips and Workarounds for Common Wireless Network Printer Issues. HP regularly releases firmware updates that may also correct the problem you are experiencing. You can click on this link to Getting Printer Updates for HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer. I did find 2 more documents that may offer some additional information as well;HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer - Connecting the Printer After Changing Your Wireless NetworkAn 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Displays for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or the details of what happened. I look forward to hearing from you, hopefully with good news! Thanks,

What are the major differences between the air and the pro

what are the major differences between the air and the pro?

In a nutshell, the Air is a lightened, more compact system than the 13" Pro counterpart. The Air loses some hardware features to accommodate the physical downsizing.
No FireWire port
No built-in optical drive
A lesser performing CPU to retain battery charge life, and adequate cooling.
No Ethernet port
No Kensington lock slot
The Air does have a superior native resolution at 1440 x 900, and a standard SSD that does make up alot of the speed differential, and then some. Of course, the 13" Pro can be optionally configured with an SSD.
You buy the Air if the physical size an weight savings are demonstrably more important than the features lost.

Is it normal for there to be a gap between the glass and bezel on iPhone 5?

As you can see, there's a really small gap between the glass and the rim (frame) whatever you want to call it. I can fit a piece of paper there, as u can see.
It also collects dust. It's annoying.
Is it normal and can it be replaced under the 1 year warranty? I bought the device just 2 weeks ago and haven't dropped it or anything.

Is anyone else seeing this on their phone or is it just me?

I'd like to toggle between the source and timeline and bypass the program tab - what is this called in the shortcut tab?

When editing, I have to press my shortcut twice to get back to the source window as it goes via the program monitor first. Is there an assignable shortcut just between the timeline and source? If so, what is it called?

If so many people have the same question and concern about this, why is it consistently ignored? I've seen countless posts like this that are told to ignore the logs or to only dump when asked to. How can those of us that have these questions get an answer? Can I im someone who can help me or are they being ignored because it it evidence that our devices have been jailbroken without our knowledge?
If you can point me in the direction of someone who is willing to help I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

I'm using apple's bluetooth keyboard and I need an easy way to switch between the text and numbers fields instead of tapping on the screen

While not in edit mode:
- if start typing numbers, then it enters number mode.
- if start typing text, then it enters text mode.
Using the arrow keys exits edit mode. So this should work for you:
1 Type text into a cell, which enters text mode.
2 Press Return to move to the next cell.
3 Press right arrow key to exit edit mode.
4 Press left arrow key to get back to the cell.
5 Type a number, which enters number mode.
Another method that requires more planning ahead of time is to format the cells as text or number before starting the data entry. Then when you navigate to a cell while in edit mode, you will be in the appropriate mode (without having to exit edit mode).
This all works fine for me. Hopefullly it does for you also.

Price difference between the requisition and the order

Hi All,
There is new functionality in ERP6 that checks the difference in price price between the requisition and the order. The configuration is under Purchase Requisition -> Tolerance Limits -> Define Tolerance Keys. This is very useful functionality when the requistion item is approved at an estimated price, but a purchasing group needs to change the $ value it will block the Purchase Order.
I have this configuration menu available in SPRO in one of my systems (IDES), however on a newly installed ERP6 system we are missing this menu path in SPRO.
Does anyone know why this menu path in SPRO is missing on some systems...

Thanks Henry,
I've done some digging and the tables that store these config settings are part of US Federal Governement addons.
Looks like all the (non government) sites that need it aren't able to have it. Great shame really as this would be very useful to communicate with the requestor whena price difference occurs.

I received a car charger for xmas. I have an iPhone 4. Is there a difference in the charging dock between the older and newer iphones? I don't want to damage it by shoving a cable in that is designed for a newer model.

there are 2 connectors the old pin30 and the new ligthing bolt
they don't look very much alike so if anybody were damage byt forcing it in it would be their own fault seeing how diffrent they are
