Playbook 2.0.1.358 = BAD A2DP = Another loyal customer lost...

I never rant, and I'm a RIM fan. I use a BB9900 and I obviously have a PB... but it's time get this off my chest since no one at RIM wants to help or listen.
My God,
RIM?? First you push out the PB without A2DP enabled. Then you thankfully give it to us in OS2. Then you push out a half baked release (358) and POOF, A2DP is intermittent. When I connect my PB to my BT FM receiver and listen to music at home or in my car, every 45 seconds or so, the connection drops. Music keeps going (silently), but no sound comes out of the speakers. Others are having the same problem, and nothing I do fixes it (hey, it still works fine on my 9900! It's a 358 issue, plain and simple).
Are you doing any kind of regression testing when you push out a new release?? How can you enable something that was desperatly needed on one hand only to screw it up completely a couple of months later!
I emailed them about it and got the following fabulous auto-response:
"Thank you for contacting BlackBerry® Customer Support. We are sorry but we are unable to process your request."
WHAT?? You're thanking me for contacting you and in the very next sentence telling me to off??
358 also screwed up my browsing experience: all pages take twice the time to load now. So the ONLY 2 things I wanted my PB to do, well, the PB can no longer do them well at all.
I suppose I can now use it for other things, such as:
- drink tray with cool graphics underneath
- fake alarm system (just glue it on the wall and punch away)
- big calculator
- frisbee
- doorstop
- paperweight
Honestly, there is no reason for me to use my PB anymore. I'm not sure what it does better than the iPad other than not having to use itunes (I hate itunes). Web browsing experience? Better on the ipad (I don't have to click a link 2 or 3 times before it actually kicks off). Music? Pfft, forget about it. Email? It's a toss up I suppose. On and on. This is coming from a person who doesn't really care about apps. I just want my tablet to do very simple things.
Maybe they want me to buy there new airplay rip off gadget? Will that solve all my problems? No, it won't, because there's no way I'm buying anything RIM anymore.
Good ridance, can't wait for the new Galaxy phone to come out. The 9900 is also a joke (**bleep** battery, always hangs, takes forever to boot up, need to restart my phone whenever I remove or add an application).
That's it. Rant over, it's been nice knowing you.

There is another thread about this. My bridge email has the spell check / predictive text working. You can see it in my screen shot.

Another Loyal Customer Mistreated... Maybe it's time we change.

In April i upgraded 2 of the 5 phones on my plan. I did the upgrade through the website and verizon has apparently added a $30 activation charges to upgrades since the last time I did this. Although I was not happy with the activation charges, i did the upgrade anyway. I thought it would be convienent to have the $60 added to my monthly bill so that is how i agreed to pay for it. I then went to my bank's bill pay site and added $60 to my next payment to Verizon to cover the cost of the activations. so i wound up paying for the activations well before they were charged to my account. I then reset my payments to their normal level.
Please understand that my bill very rarely changes. i have done everything that i can to ensure that i do not have surprise charges on my account. so, i checked my bill a few days ago, and to my surprise i owed another $13.73. after some investiagting, i found that there was an additional $3.60 in taxes associated with the activations. and that since several months have passed, i have been charged several late fees. well beside being annoyed, i went online and paid off the due amount and thought that would be the end of it.
well apparently i was too late in paying off. i just got a new will that did not show my online payment and is charging me another $5 late fee. so i contacted verizon in chat this morning and asked him to review what happened. i have had charges on my lines before that i did not expect and wound up not paying the addition charges when they were billed. verizon would charge a late fee and i would call and talk to a rep. the rep would kindly offer to waive the late fee (ussually all of them) just to get the original amount owed. this guy was different. there was no offer to waive any fees not even the latest fee. instead, this is what he told me:
Michael: Seth, I can certainly understand concern, but anytime a balance is carried forward, you are charged a $5.00 late fee. We allow you to set up auto-pay to draft the full balance from your checking account, or a debit/credit card by setting up a My Verizon account. This makes certain the full balance is paid.
So Verizon's stance is give me the money and the only way to avoid late fees is to give us the access to take your money when we want.
It's time for another option. unfortunately, i just renewed some phones so it will be awhile. but i need a new provider. this is a ridiculous way to spend a morning.

You know I am feeling the same way about Verizon.
We have been loyal customers with Verizon for nearly 12 years and have averaged a monthly spend of approximately $500 per month for that entire period. Recently I found out that someone in there Credit Department had turned our account over to a Collection Agency who has been hounding us 24/7. Our account has been linked to the same AMEX account which elctronically billed every month so its impossible to become delinquent. Well come to find out after getting through to the Credit Department our account was indeed turned over for phone numbers not linked to our account and not even in the same area code. What's worse is the Credit Manager advised me that once they turn the account over to a Collection Agent they can no longer help us. Despite the fact that it is their error. So I ask them "so what do I do to resolve your error"
DEAD SILENCE! and then I am sorry Sir but we can no longer help you! Really!
Verizon Wireless will now lose our business account, personal cells and our land line business.
Its hilarious that they send out e-mails asking for how they are doing and if they can provide us with any service. I was dumb enough to respond twice believing that someone would forward this same response to someone that may be able to get involved.........................NOT
We need small regional suppliers and small business owners that can actually service the customer and not become so large that they dont have the ability to service there customers.!

BADI ME_GUI_PO_CUST not populating custom fields

Hi!
    I've created my custom fields in the Line item level for ME21n transaction. The custom fields are in the include structure CL_EKPODB for EKPO. I'm unable to populate my custom fields. Help needed.
    My screen fields are named EKPO-ZZSTREET ,EKPO-ZZCITY etc.
Thanks
Shubha!

Hi Shubha
      You have to set the mode ( editable / display only etc ) in method FIELDSELECTION_ITEM of BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST to populate custom fields in ME_GUI_PO_CUST.
By default system will take display mode. So u can your customer field in Me23n.

My harddrive dyed. I was able to copy my music in safe mode. When I went to put the music on another computer I lost most of my music user rights. How do I regain those rights in order to play my music I worked so hard to optain over the years?

Is it free to send and receive texts from another EE customer who is abroad?

is it free to send and receive texts from another EE customer who is abroad?

Hi
Welcome to the EE Community! Provided you're texting an 07 number, it won't cost you anything extra to text someone abraod (provided that's included in your package). It will cost the person abroad to reply (but not receive texts), unless again they have some sort of add on in the country they're present in. Cheers,

How bad is the Verizon customer service?

how bad is the Verizon customer service? Well let me tell you. I just got off the phone with from their Finance Department, who called me, and they asked when I would be paying my bill. I answered never. He asked why. I said I had a billing dispute. He asked to go over the bill together (the first rep to do this) having going over the issues and reviewing the notes he said “oh wow”. I informed him that I filed a complaint to the BBB, FTC and FCC and filed a small claims suit against them. He said he understood why. He then said he would unsuspended my 3 lines (I have already disconnected 2 of them) and place my account in a “billing dispute status”. I said thank you. After about 30 minutes I called back when my saw my lines still suspended. Both the finance department and customer service both said the lines were still suspended both blaming the other department as a reason. Got to love the Verizon teamwork. Any suggestions?

They may have stated over the phone your account was in a "billing dispute status" however you can ONLY do so in writing.
From the customer agreement:
HOW AND WHEN CAN I DISPUTE CHARGES?
If you're a Postpay customer, you can dispute your bill within 180 days of receiving it, but unless otherwise provided by law or unless you're disputing charges because your wireless device was lost or stolen, you still have to pay all charges until the dispute is resolved. If you're a Prepaid customer, you can dispute a charge within 180 days of the date the disputed charge was incurred. YOU MAY CALL US TO DISPUTE CHARGES ON YOUR BILL OR ANY SERVICE(S) FOR WHICH YOU WERE BILLED, BUT IF YOU WISH TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING SUCH DISPUTE, YOU MUST WRITE TO US AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ADDRESS ON YOUR BILL, OR SEND US A COMPLETED NOTICE OF DISPUTE FORM (AVAILABLE AT VERIZONWIRELESS.COM), WITHIN THE 180–DAY PERIOD MENTIONED ABOVE. IF YOU DO NOT NOTIFY US IN WRITING OF SUCH DISPUTE WITHIN THE 180-DAY PERIOD, YOU WILL HAVE WAIVED YOUR RIGHT TO DISPUTE THE BILL OR SUCH SERVICE(S) AND TO BRING AN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS CASE REGARDING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.
Simply send in a notice of dispute form. Since you have already filed a "small claims case", I would think it may be unnecessary, though, but it can't hurt to be thorough.

Bad Service and No Customer Loyalty

Worst customer service ever. Went to the Verison store today because my power button on the top of my IPhone 5 was not working. I did a little research before and found this is a common problem with IPhone 5's. Wanted to inquire about getting a replacement to find out my 1 year warranty expired 2 weeks ago. The only thing the associates at the Katy, TX store would tell me was I should have bought the extended warranty. I have been a loyal customer for almost 10 years and they would not make a consideration. They just wanted to push their warranty. So much for customer service and loyalty. When asked why do you not stand behind your product the manager said we stand behind the serivce not the product, you can talk to Apple about that. Just horrible customer service. I wlll be looking at taking my $200 a month bill to another carrier that shows some interest in keeping loyal cusotmers. I will also be spreading my story to as many people I can. It would be nice to hear from someone from Verison. Has anyone else run into situations like this?

i disagree and maybe I am just old school. But if i purchased something I expect it to last more then 1 years, especially when the contract I signed for service is 2 years. And yes I understand manufacturers warranties, but good customer service and showing loyalty would have at least brought more empathy from the consultant as opposed to "you should have bought our warranty". I had a situation a few years ago with a washer from Best Buy. About 3 months out of "warranty" it broke. I have been a loyal BB customer for years and they recognized that, they sent a tech to look at it, deemed it was defective and replaced the unit at no charge to me. That is what loyalty and service is all about.

Using the same instance of a BADI in another transaction

Hello Everyone,
I have a SAP standard transaction which has an authorization BADI implemented. I developed another report which is similar to the before mentioned SAP report with a different transaction. The same BADI is called in the custom report also, because of a common function module (which has this BADI call). So, that means, the same instance of BADI is being called in the custom report also. The authorizations to display the data for both the transactions should be same.
Should I specifically call this BADI again in custom report or will all the authorizations be linked to the new transaction as well?
Thank you all in advance.
Rushi

The BADI call is nothing but a call to specific methods in the customer BADI implementation. So it should work from wherever it is called, even from customer programs copied from standard SAP code where the original call is made.
But I wonder why do you need to make a copy of SAP code.

N96 bad A2DP profile Experience v11.

Have the same problem with my HBH-DS970 a drop every 10 seconds or so beside when i disconnect the headset i lose the volume in both wired headset and speakers it became very low so i have to restart the phone .

I've been desperately waiting for a N96 firmware update, hoping it would fix this problem. But I just updated to 12.043 and the problem is still exactly the same.
I did an OTA update. Doing an update via NSU right now, seeing if that changes anything, but I have little hope.
Seems the disappointment doesn't end yet.

Implementing BADI MD_ADD_COL_EZPS for MD04 custom column

Hi there,
I'm using BADI MD_ADD_COL_EZPS to display 3 new buttons and three new columns in MD04.
For each line item that is displayed, the custom column is filled, after the button is hit -This works fine.
My Question is:
Is there any way to limit the value that is filled into the new column so that it only appears on the FIRST line item/row?
(At the moment it is repeated all the way down the page - the new value is a material characteristic, so doesn't change, will always be the same for each line)
I've looked at all the available structures/tables in the FILL_ADD_COLUMNS method of the BADI, and none seem suitable
to determine the "first" row. (ie. something like the way SY-TABIX or SY-INDEX might be used)
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
David.

Hi Shubhendu,
in the method 'ACTIVATE_ADD_COLUMNS', you can set the flag EZ1_MODE to '1' to make the first column visible always. (it's been a while, but I think setting it to '2' makes it visible when the button is pressed.)
Same applies to EZ2_MODE for second column, EZ3_MODE for third.
look at the flags/parameters in this method, and also in FILL_ADD_COLUMNS, to fill the data.
here you need to fill structure EMDEZX_USEX1 (for column 1) etc.
The code is hit for each record displayed in MD04
Hopefully this helps you.
Regards,
David

Bad quality laptop + Worst customer support A Series.

My laptop was showing blank screen. I had to send it to their repait center.
Dignosis was that the cable had become loose. It was fixed. So this was a bad product. It does not end there.
I had specifically sent a not with the computer NOT to reset my disk. Still they reset it. I lost all the installed software.
This is a defective product. I had to pay shipping for it. And not only that, I had to reinstall my software.
WHAT A PAIN to deal with the company and the product. Please spread the message around So others are saved from the trouble.

I'm sorry that you had the problem with your laptop. As for the data, that is a regular part of the repair process in most cases. I understand that you included the note, but it's also in the terms to which you agree when you ship your laptop for repairs.
