Poor Redesign

I am a video person by trade and I have to say that the redesign for this new iMovie is not user friendly at all. what happened to the ability to switch between a traditional timeline view and a storyboard view. What happened to the keyboard shortcut to split clips. What the **** happened to this application all together. It stinks.

what happened to the ability to switch between a traditional timeline view and a storyboard view.
Shrink the "timeline" and you have your "storyboard." Expand the "storyboard" clip and you have your "timeline" which can be traversed in two dimensions.
What happened to the keyboard shortcut to split clips.
For the most part not needed since you can non-destructively segment event clips at the frame level as you add them to the project. (Can, of course, still be "split" in the project window.)
What the ** happened to this application all together.
Dissatisfied? Make your feelings known to the people who can do something about it at iMovie '08 Feedback. You're just "preaching to the choir here.

BlackBerry z10 battery poor performance

Hey i have a question with regards to how am I supposed to improve my battery on the z10. I bought this phone last year at full price from my carrier. Since then the battery performance has been very poor... even after the number of updates and reducing which apps are running, it still won't last more than 5 hours when using the phone. in fact I would say it drains very quickly. I see the % sign on the battery and it moves from 100% to 87% very quickly like within an hour when i am using my phone. I have done a lot of research over the past year and read forums on how to improve it and have had no results. Can anyone provide me any advice? Perhaps someone from blackberry themselves? I am really disappointed because I could have spent that money on a different phone which has a battery that actually lasts the day. Thank you and I will await for some feedback.

That option is only on newer OS versions.
What OS are you on and do you have many email accounts set up that sync contacts, calendar and more?
I had a corrupt contact that would try to sync over and over again.
Start with this if you sync Over The Air with Outlook
In outlook Make a new folder for contacts called backup
move all contacts to the folder and wait for all to be removed from device
then pull battery on device and put back in
After device boots move contacts from backup to the contacts folder and wait for them all to appear
Make a new contact in outlook and see if it gets to the device.
highlight calendar
goto file import/export
choose export to file
choose Persoanl folder pst, next
make sure calendar is highlighted and choose subfolders if you have them, next
save to desktop with a name you can remember, Finish
Click ok on screen popup
Go to view, arange by events
delete all entries.
close outlook and any word files, open outlook back up after 15 seconds.
Then
goto file import/export
import from another program or file, next
choose Persoanl folder pst, next
find the file and import
Choose highlight calendar and Finish

Poor PXI IO performance on Latitude E6410 with ExpressCard 8360

Hello,
I have a Dell Latitude E6410 with a Core-i5 M520 which is giving me very poor io performance when using an ExpressCard 8360 card to connect to a PXI Rack.
The sustained IO rate that I can get appears to be about 1/3 of that that I can get using the same ExpressCard on a Dell Latitude E6400 (with a Core2Duo processor).
I am using the A05 bios (latest at time of writing) on the E6410.
Wade.

I am running Windows XP (32 bit) sp3 in both cases.
The E6410 has 4GByte of memory fitted.
The E6400 has 2GByte of memory fitted.
I have also use the same ExpressCard 8360 via a PXIe to ExpressCard Adaptor in a Desktop machine with similar performance figures to the E6400 - i.e. much better than the E6410.
The Desktop Machine is an HP Compaq D7900 with 4GByte of memory, Core2Duo E8500 also running Windows XP sp3 (32 bit).
Also, on the Desktop, I am running NI PXI Platform Services 2.3.2 and NI-Visa runtime version 4.3.
On the E6410, I am running NI PXI Platform Services 2.5.2 and NI-Visa runtime version 4.6.
I no longer have access to the E6400 so I am not sure what sofware versions were installed. However, they are unlikely to be new than the versions installed on the E6410.

T520 poor performance and SpeedStep problem

Hi to all the users in the forum!
I'm new to this forum and I would like to thanks for any future help that you'll give me.
After some months of using my new T520 (i7 2620m) I was really disappointed for the poor performance of this ThinkPad.
Briefly I've noticed slow responses to many programs in particular in the MS office enviroment (.ppt files) as well as on my gmail interface under firefox, and in general the Win7 environment. It sounds really strange to me, I came from a 5 years old Intel®-Centrino® (1.7Ghz) experience and the differences between the old and the new machine should be more sharp. So I've investigated to understand this behavior. Before that I've upgraded the system with the newest files.
To understend the behaviour I've used the following software (x64):
CPU-Z to evaluate the performance in terms of Core speed; Multiplier and Bus Speed
Prime95 to produce an heavy load
Intel processor ID Utility to produce a "certified" report.
The responses is always the same. The multiplier is stuck at 8X with a frequency of about 0.79Ghz and the gauge in the CPU performance of the Lenovo Power Manager” always indicating 29% (that is 0.79Ghz of the 2.7Ghz of the i7 2620M processor). Nothing change if I switch on the turbo boost or if I made some variation in the performance profile. The only change that I can observe/listen is an increase rotation of the system fan and the consequent noise increase when the turbo boost is on. Even during the “torture-test” of Prime95 no differences in frequency is observed.
The only way to obtain an higher frequency is to disable the speedstep technology from the BIOS setup, with the consequence to have the multiplier stuck to 24X with a frequency of 2.7Ghz…. but is not a solution!
The described behavior of this processor under Win7 is also observed with Ubuntu 11.04.
I’ve reported the problem to the technical support, and they ask me to run the “Lenovo Toolbox System” because is the only software that they can “trust”. So I did it and sent the log files. Now I’m waiting for a response and in the meantime I would like to discuss, report and share my experience to this forum.
Actually from my point of view, there is a serious problem with the i7 processor, that I can’t solve and a substitution is required. I’m disappointed because I’m using since some months a PC with reduced performance and because I spent my time to demonstrate this evidence. I hope to solve quickly this inconvenience and I’ll report to the forum any news from the technical support.
Thanks
Misuraka
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The CPU will throttle down if the battery is removed. This is intentional for various reasons.
To extend overall battery longevity, use the provided Power Manager.
1) Launch Power Manager
2) Click Advanced in the top right
3) Go to the Battery tab
4) Click Battery Maintenance
5) Choose Custom charge threshold
6) Start charging from 80, stop charging at 90.
This should extend battery lifespan. Avoid overcharging it, and avoid overdepleting it. Lithium ion batteries don't last long under those circumstances.
In extended storage or when you know you will be using AC almost exclusively, set the charging threshold to 30 to 40, deplete it to 40%, then leave it there.

Poor WiFi performance of Yoga 2 11?

I have just purchased a Yoga 2 11 and find that connectivity is poor (zero to two bars) and unreliable (occasionally reverting to a yellow exclamation point) in my favorite thinking chair. I get reasonable performance at the same location from other machines including a T420, a Nexus 7, and an IPad. After reviewing some community forum fixes for the presumably Yoga 2 Pro, I have checked to ensure that I have the most recent driver; that I have turned off bluetooth; that I am not using protected sharing; that windows is not managing the wifi Plus I have installed on the order of 33 windows updates (a pretty large number considering this is right out of the box on the first day of availability!). Am I missing anything or is this a problem related to something unfixable like the antenna design? Other potentially connected diagnostic information is that some sites e.g. zillo do not load quickly behave very smoothly, even in locations with more than one "bar" of wifi connectivity. Thank in advance for any input.

I see the same poor wifi connection when comparing to my old laptop and to my Galaxy S4. I updated the driver but it did not help (think it was the same one). I have a week left for no hassle returns and if this cannot get resolved I think this unit has to go back.

Iphone 5s not picking up home Wi-Fi and/or very poor signals even in downtown area

Switched to Verizon and bought IPhone 5s less than 3 weeks ago. It was fine the first week then suddenly it won't recognized my home wi-fi and got very poor wireless signal. I have my old IPhone 4s and it works fine like a charm for wi-fi. It keeps reloading and not pop up any wi-fi signals. I went to the mall and normally it should pop up multiple wi-fis but it didn't. However my ipad did. I keep trying to reboot it or even reset it to factory settings and still doesn't work. Then yesterday my calls keep dropping in the middle of business conversation. This is unacceptable and no one seems to be helpful at Verizon. I even took screen pictures throughout the day yesterday to show when suddenly my home wi-fi popped up and a minute later it disappear. This also a domino effect for my photo stream, icloud back up, and most importantly my data plan. Now I can't even use my paid home wi-fi and use up all my data plan with Verizon and none of them care. I almost feel like switching to other providers. I also see that this is somewhat common to IPhone 5s with their troubled software or signal chip but not getting help from Verizon is the worst.

I downloaded the Speedtest app on my iPhone and iPad and would randomly test one right after the other. I accumulated about 5 tests a day on each device over the course of 3 days. I set up an appointment at the Genius bar. I told the Genius that I set up my phone as new and then showed him my comparisons of the Speedtest on both devices. He handed me a new (non-refurbished because it hasn't been out for long) phone, no questions. Apparently it was a hardware issue and not an iOS 8 bug.

BT infinity very poor service - what steps to canc...

Any one advise How I can cancel, without penalty, due to poor service?
I had BT Infinity installed end of January 2014 it was fine stable and running at around 65-68mbps until half way through May.
Then speed dropped to 19mbps but worse the connection would repeatedly drop staying up for no more than 5 minutes at a time and taking 10 or more attempts to reconnect. Checking the logs on Hub 5 often it would reconnect over 100 times a day.
I've had and engineer visit once a week now, because thats all India helpdesk can arrange, for over 2 months and each one treats the visit as if it's the first time. All they can do is check my equipment is OK which they all say is fine. If had the line moved to a different card in the street box. I've had 2 replacement Hub 5's.
Eventually in talking to one of the engineers, some are more clued up than others, I heard about RAIN engineers so I practically had to force India support to instigate this. They say they have put this in process but can't seem to report back to me anything from this. I finally got speed up to 30mbps but the connection is still unstable and as of my last call I have yet another engineer to wait in for on Monday (this will be about the 10th time I've wasted half a day!). I know full well and on site engineer can do absolutely nothing but reset the line speed which with the insatbility will drop again. So I've had enough I've been paying for the top package "unlimited data" at a significant price for a service I haven't had for over 2 months and I just want to cancel becuase of this and get a refund for poor service over that time. Every time I try to raise this with India I just get fobbed off as they really have no idea what they are doing and probably don't have the authority to handle this but BT provides no other obvious way to talk to some who can take this request to cancel seriously! Does anyone know who and where I can call, email or write to to get this usless service cancelled?

Poor Customer Service

I am shocked at the level of poor customer service I get from Adobe sales reps on a consistent basis. It is as if Adobe assumes their products are without peer - so the sales team can take its customers for granted. I recently subscribed to the $19.99/month for Acrobat pro. I inquired if I wanted to upgrade to the full Creative Cloud for $49.99/month how could I upgrade. I received a wide spectrum of bizarre responses that ranged from, n you can not upgrade to you must first cancel your Acrobat subscription, pay the termination fee - and then create a new subscription for the entire Creative Cloud. Each sales rep seemed very tenuous at best and when I would inquiry further that it did not sound right - then they all would be very snarky and sarcastic. I was shocked at the level of unprofessional behavior from your sales team. It is as if Adobe does not have a culture of personal accountability when it comes to dealing with the customer.
I fine it very odd if Adobe is serious about providing CLoud Services, why it does not make the subscription model more flexible and upgradable for the customer. I am also not sure why Adobe does not make this something that a customer can simply do on their own by logging into their account. Evernote, Dropbox, Google - these are all services that allo the cusotmer to upgrade to more features and services online in a matter of seconds - as opposed to forcing customers to call in that crazy phone menu hell - then deal with snarky phone reps that sound unsure of themselves but then get upset when you ask follow up questions.

Attached is the letter I sent to correspondance, I haven't heard back from
them so I don't know if it has been addressed yet.
I was with Sprint for over 10 years, when I changed to Verizon my bill went
up, however I was willing to stick it out because the customer service was
so much better. I have been very surprised at the service I have gotten
through all of this.
I really didn't want to leave that post on the community board, but I was
not getting any help. However, today, someone was able to help me get the
Asurion claim for my sons phone. Kudos to that rep. It amazes me how I can
speak with 3-4 people, give them all the same information and EACH AND
EVERYONE of them gives me a different answer. I had spoken with probably 4
people before the one today and gave them the same information (probably
more) and not one of them resolved the problem the way this one did nor as
promptly!
Thank you for following up with me, I hope you can help me get these
matters resolved.

Oracle 10g on HP-UX, Terrible Poor Performance!!

Hi All,
I setup an Oracle 10g on HP-UX 11iv1. Server is a HP 9000, 4 CPUs (750
MHZ). It is connected to Disk System 2405 (Virtual Array 7110). Fiber
Channels are connected at 2 GB speed.
I installed a cluster 10g database. First I installed CRS and after
that I installed oracle database. ( I want to test clustered database
with one instance)
I installed every thing line by line as oracle document wrote.
All the things, kernel parameters, patches, are like oracle wrote in
its document.
I installed Golden quality package June 2004.
I increased shmmax to 2.3 G . My SGA is 1.7 G And change some other
parameters as Sandy Gruver wrote in Best Practices for Oracle on HPUX.
I used oracle new storage system called ASM for this case.
When I put the system under the load, I was monitoring the system
carefully.
I started gmp. When we sent some quarries to database (It is not heavy
load, I tested it with a Linux system on proliant ML570 without any
problem), suddenly DISK section in gpm changed to red (critical ) I
read the warning. It said "Disk bottleneck probability = 100%". I
changed the output of disk report to "Report IO by Disk"
"DISK%" was 100% and "RAW IO RT" was about 1000 for two disks ( This
two disks dedicated for ASM). In this situation CPU idle time was 1% or
2% for all the CPUs but load average was about 1. Performance is not
acceptable at all ( In comparison with Oracle that installed on Linux).
Glance reported Disk was in Critical situation.
I think the problem is IO or something about Disks
I used HP Disk System 2405. Fibber channels on both server side and
Disk Array side are configured at 2 Gb and topologies are
PTTOPT_FABRIC.
Is it ok that RAW IO RT about 1000 for each LUN?
Why Disk% in glance/report IO BY Disk/ was 100%?
I found an error in STM logs about I/O.It said:
Entry type: I/O error
Product: Fiber Channel Interface
Logger: td
It logged this error about 12 times during the test.Any comment?
Regards,
Hasan

Sorry, I have not a solution for your problem, but similar things happen on our installation on Solaris 5.8 with Oracle 10:
I have a banking business solution from Windows/SQL Server 2000 to Sun Solaris/ORACLE 10g migrated. In the test environment everything was working fine. On the production system we have very poor DB performance. About 100 times slower than SQL Server 2000!
Environment at Customer Server Side:
Hardware: SUN Fire 4 CPU's, OS: Solaris 5.8, DB Oracle 8 and 10
Data Storage: Em2
DB access thru OCCI [Environment:OBJECT, Connection Pool, Create Connection]
Depending from older applications it's necessary to run ORACLE 8 as well on the same Server. Since we have running the new solution, which is using ORACLE 10, the listener for ORACLE 8 is frequently gone (or by someone killed?). The performance of the whole ORACLE 10 Environment is very poor. As a result of my analyse I figured out that the process to create a connection to the connection pool takes up to 14 seconds. Now I am wondering if it a problem to run different ORACLE versions on the same Server? The Customer has installed/created the new ORACLE 10 DB with the same user account (oracle) as the older version. To run the new solution we have to change the ORACLE environment settings manually. All hints/suggestions to solve this problem are welcome. Thanks in advance.

Poor Cellular Connection after iOS 8 Upgrade

Hi Apple Support,
I have upgraded my iPhone5 to iOS 8 and after the upgrade i am getting very poor Cellular connectivity.
Talking in terms of the "4 small Circles" adjacent to Carrier name . it used to be all 4 circles always.
but after the upgrade its either one or two only....
and due to this there is frequent call drops
Please help to resolve this

I have been to Apple store twice now on this issue. We have tried all of the above suggestions-- restore, network reset, re-installing SIM card-- and the problem always returns. The Genius Bar tech told me the IOS update brought out a latent problem hidden in the firmware -- in other words, it is a problem caused by Apple, but not everyone experiences this problem. The tech also told me there was nothing more that could be done, short of buying a new ipad. I asked about going back to the earlier IOS version but she said Apple will not allow that at this point. So it sounds to me like a "forced obsolescence" thing that Apple has inflicted on me: they admit their update brought out a problem, previously unmanifested, which had always been lurking in their firmware-- but their solution is that I need to ditch my ipad 2 and buy a new ipad. I never had this type of issue before the upgrade. the problem is more of a nuisance/inconvenience than anything else, because it can be rectified by powering down every few hours, so it's not worth it to me to spend hundreds on a new ipad. And anyway if this is an example of their customer service I'm not sure I will stay with Apple when it finally is time to buy a new tablet.

IPhone Poor Call Quality Without Headphones

I have an iPhone 4s. When I am working in my home office, the carrier signal level is good - typically three or four bars out of 5. However, the call quality is sometimes very poor - I can hear the other caller very clearly but they cannot hear me clearly and often say that it sounds like I am talking through a long tube or that my voice has some kind of metallic quality. However, when I plug my earphones in, it all works just fine. The call quality is generally fine in other locations.
I did wonder if this is something do to with the apple ambient noice cancelling system and some kind of interaction with it and the case that I am using but I have tested it with and without case and it makes no difference.
Any suggestions that you might have would be gratefully received.

I did they have know referred me to Apple!!!

Poor treatment of customer by warranty repair support

My worst customer support experience – from my most trusted manufacturer!
I have been using PCs and laptops since 1987 when the first IBM PCs came out with floppy drives.
I always trusted IBM – PCs, Thinkpads and Lenovos. But now I have to stop unless this issue is resolved to my satisfaction.
On Oct 24th night my Ideapad Y470 laptop emitted some smoke. I turned it off and waited for it to cool down.
Then I opened the back to see if there was anything burnt – it looked fine. I started it up and it was fine but gave some messages about the AMD graphics driver recovering from errors. After a little time it crashed (blue screen).
Next day I tried starting it up – laptop booted off a diagnostics DVD that I created from Lenovo support site. It passed all my hardware except for the graphics card (the diagnostics did not cover the AMD graphics card). I ran the tests more than once.
Motherboard, PCI, hard disk and memory were cleared multiple times by diagnostics.
I tried System Restore and System Repair but it did not help. Finally I started in safe mode and disabled the AMD Radeon 7690M graphics device. Now the machine worked fine. I ran a full virus scan. It completed fine (machine ran 2 hours doing the scan). I did my backup and created a system recovery DVD set. Then I called Lenovo support, since I had an extended warranty.
Now my REAL PROBLEMS began.
For some reason only known to Lenovo I had to ship it to Texas. Previously when my son’s Thinkpad laptop was repaired I could do it locally at Greenwich CT, and I had no problems.
I CLEARLY stated that the laptop was functional. I could start it up in safe mode, disable the AMD graphics in Device Manager, and work. In fact I ran a full virus scan, backed up more than 10 GB of data to USB and also created a repair and recovery 3-DVD set.
I was told by my Lenovo support person to send it in the state where the AMD graphics is enabled and caused the laptop to crash on startup. Why? Anyway I did as I was asked.
After the laptop arrived at the repair center I see a message saying it’s not covered for repairs. Supposedly “Accidental Damage”. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE LAPTOP WHEN IT WAS SHIPPED.
When I called they were saying “damage to the main board” and cover costs $399. And they blamed me for the mainboard damage (never mind the smoke etc??)). They talked to me as though, since I opened the cover at the back I must have damaged it! Very poor treatment of customers if you ask me.
I guess replacing the AMD Radeon graphics interface cannot be done without replacing the main board?
I finally asked them if the machine is still booting up and to return the machine. I have not received a clear reply to my question whether it started up (if technician damaged the main board of course it won’t boot anymore). When I sent the laptop it was starting up in safe mode, I could switch off the AMD graphics and use the laptop.
I have been a Lenovo customer for MANY YEARS – I have bought 4 laptops from Lenovo. If this problem is not resolved to my satisfaction I will not be your customer anymore and I will not recommend them again ever.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I escalated the issue and was called by a Lenovo escalation manager - I described the entire problem from start to finish. He approved my repair. So my faith in Lenovo/IBM has been restored. Now I need to wait for the laptop to be fixed and returned!
Thanks to all who responded and to Lenovo too!
