Possible N70 Improvements

Overall I'm happy with my new N70, but there are a few things that I think could easily be improved in a future firmware version. If you have others, perhaps you could add them, or if I'm doing something wrong, let me know! (Most of them are things my 6230 did, but I can't do now)
1. Use Radio or mp3 as alarm tone.
2. Option to turn off Nokia tune on switch on. Useful when in quiet places or when you don't want to advertise your phone to the world!
3. Full functionality with CK-7W using the Pop Port connection.
4. Name order of contacts only applies to list. If you choose first name first, last name is still first on messages, and when searching, they are displayed correctly, but surnames are searched first, eg. searching for "S" brings up "John Smith", then "Sam".
5. Option to turn off long message warnings. I've been sending long messages as multiple SMS since the olden days (3310), why start warning me about it now?
6. This may not be possible due to hardware orientation of the sensor, but how about a fullscreen camera view finder, which actually takes landscape pictures when you hold it landscape, and portrait pictures when you hold it portrait?
7. Not sure if this is correct, but I've read the jpg compression has been increased, so the overall quality of the higher res. pictures is lower than that of the 6680, to keep the size down. How about more quality options, so we can get the full benefit of the 2MP camera?
Sorry for the mammoth post, but I think thats it ... for now!

friskis, look into the Smart Profiles app by Symbianware.
seraphim, look into miniGPS by Psiloc.
now off to googling for the hair dryer and trolley jack accessories web store... Message Edited by petrib on 29-Nov-2005

Is it possible to improve the LMP Bluetooth in iMac from x4 to x6

hi
Is it possible to improve the LMP Bluetooth in iMac from x4 to x6

It can only be swapped out for GPU chips that were available for that model at the time.
The only two options were a 256 or 512 VRAM ATI GPU.
If you have never done any type of computer or Mac hardware upgrades before, the tear down of an iMac is not for a newbie or novice to take on a DIY project.
If your GPU went bad, you will need to bring your iMac in to an Apple Store or Apple authorized repair center to have the iMac's GPU replaced by qualified Apple technicians.
Good Luck!

Memory can not be added, the CPU can not be changed, but you may be able to upgrade the hard drive.

Is it possible to improve a G4 ibook on Tiger 10.4.11?

I have had my ibook for years and has been great but has become slow and difficult to use. (OSX 10.4.11, 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4, 1GB DDR SDRAM)
Software will not update anymore and Firefox browser in particular is now out of date and causing issues with gmail etc.
I could update to OSX 10.5, but the disks on ebay are not cheap - would this upgrade even improve things at all? or is here really no point?
I do lots of image editing and it struggles with the files sizes now too. Would it help to transfer most files off the harddisks to free up hard disk memory.
The ram is apparently 1GB.
I really don't have the money for a new Mac and would love to keep this going a bit longer. ANY help with improving its performance would be much appreciated!
Thanks

You may need to start a thread of you own and include the technical information about your iBook G4 such as the build year, hardware specifications, total capacity of the iBook's internal hard disk drive, installed RAM total, and if you know it, the available free-space remaining in the hard disk drive. Disk Utility could help, as could Activity Monitor, for finding information on the system hardware details.
If the computer has all the RAM it can use (according to MacTracker.ca or other spec source) and a large enough capacity of unused free space in the hard disk drive, it could be capable of running Leopard 10.5.8; but you would have to get a retail install disc through Apple online or by phone through Support since it probably is not available in their store. A call to the main Apple support may be worth a try should you want to upgrade the OSX to 10.5.8 if the computer you have is able to adequately run this version.
Interest in these older notebook portable and pre-Intel based Macs has slowed, so replies may be long in arriving. Other forums have disappeared over the past five to eight years, too; those had good exposure.
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

Is it possible to improve the quality of an MP3 file by converting to aiff?

itunes 11.0.4 (4)
I am contemplating the costs/benefits of purchasing digital downloads of mp3/mp4 files instead of purchasing actual cds. I am aware that the MP files are compressed and are thus lower quality. I have already purachased some digital music, from Amazon, and am now burning cds. While creating playlists and burning, I noticed the option 'convert to aiff'. I did this with one album. I now have doubles of each track of that album, the original mp3 and the converted aiff. The aiff file size of one song, for example, is 71MB compared to 12MB for the mp3 version.
Did my aiff conversion do anything to improve the quality of my mp3 files? If so, to what extent? E.g., how close is the quality to that of a cd? The added file size of the aiff must represent some difference. I am asking because I am skeptical that my converting an mp3 using itunes could improve the quality of that with which I began...i.e., the mp3 file. Is this conversion effectively 'uncompressing' the mp3?
If an aiff conversion increases quality, I see no reason to worry about mp3 compression. It would make sense, economically, to purcahse mp3s and then convert to aiff, saving time, money, and transportation costs.
Finally, is there anyway to convert to aiff just for the purpose of creating one playlist and then burning so that I do not have to maintain double files in my library? Thanks for answers.

All you accomplished by converting the file to AIFF was to make the file much larger. As AnaMusic said, there's no way to put back the information that was lost during the process of compressing to MP3. If you want CD quality, you'll either need to buy the CDs and import them yourself or see if the album is available through one of the download stores that sell music in CD quality or better, such as iTrax, HDTracks or eClassical. They've only been able to license a small subset of what's available, but you might be fortunate.
Regards.

How is it possible to improve iMovie quality in black areas?

The movie looks fine in preview, but there are a lot of compression artifacts in dark areas when exporting it (720p)

I was putting together different videos already recorded so I couldn't improve the quality of the sources... Manual export with setting bitrate to 5mbs helped a little, even though the output video is still not as good as the preview video. I guess that's the best iMovie can do for now...

Is it possible to improve the poor quality of DVD's?

I started my presentation in Keynote and exported the file as a quicktime movie (high quality). I then moved the quicktime movie into iDVD and when I previewed the project, the quality looked crisp...so far so good. I then proceeded to burn directly to DVD and the quality was, for lack of a better word, crap. I tried creating a disc image and using Toast but unfortunately it's not rearly as sharp as it was within iDVD.
This has been bugging me for about weeks now. I've been reading the discussion boards for a while and haven't found a solution to my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I'm also a very frustrated user experiencing the same problem with iDVD 6. This was not seen when I was using iDVD 5.
I've made a .dv file with imovie 6.0.1, and upon "Sharing" to idvd, I didn't see any drop in quality during preview. Its only when I've the DVD disc image file where iDVD compresses the .dv format to mpeg2 that a significant loss in video quality can be seen.
I've also tried out different methods of encoding the .dv file using other software:
1. Toast 7.0.1 : Same poor quality mpeg2
2. ffmpegX : I tried tweaking different settings, (video bitrate, etc), but only very insignificant improvements were seen. ( Anyone out there with success in finding the right combinations of options, please post reply!)
3. JES Deinterlacer : I don't think the problem lies with interlacing, as I don't see much improvements here either.
Anyway, has anyone checked out this website:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/idvd_6stone.html
I've actually contacted the website owner Ken Stone via email, asking him if he has seen this problem. He replied to me that he did not experience quality loss since he did not work with imovie.
I'm pretty baffled here, as I thought the problem clearly lies with the process of dv to mpeg2 encoding, and not the software that was used to create the movie or .dv file?
Anybody out there has a workaround or a definate solution?

Is it possible to improve scores with large collections? Advice please!

Hi, I have about $7000 in collections from Natl Crysis from broken apartment leases due to job cutbacks and job loss in 2014. I've been able to increase my scores out of the 490s now to the low 500s since June. I was able to get an auto loan through Toyota Financial (miraculously!) and payments start on the 15th of this month. I have a secured card through a credit union but it only reports to Experian and Transunion. I've been declined for pretty much every other secured card I've applied for...which I didn't know was possible, but still have a couple options left like OpenSky. Fingerhut is reporting positively as well. Assuming from here on out I pay my bills timely and maybe open one more secured card, can my scores continue to increase? Or will the huge amount I owe in collections hold me back until they fall off in 5-6 years? I've got some other small collection accounts around $1000 total that I could pay off if that would help but the ones from Natl Crysis I've pretty much decided I can't pay any time soon since it's just such a large chunk of money even if I settle. What do I do?

What do I do?i have 1 paid collection and 6 late payments (120+ days) from a Cap 1 card on TU/EX, my scores are 670/686. 6 late payments on EQ with no collection, EQ is at 700. so yeah, get some revolving credits rolling then ur scores should go up. the amount of the collection doesnt matter i think, a paid/unpaid collection have the same affect on your scores.

Possible design improvement.

In OS X the minimize button (yellow -) is right next to the close-window button (red x). With a slightly careless mis-click, it is easy to close, say Firefox, which deletes all the existing tabs. I realize that Cmd-H could be used instead of the minimize button, but I really prefer a GUI.
Also, sometimes a pop-up window appears so that two close-window buttons overlap, and with the magic slate, or whatever it's called, it is very easy to click twice and inadvertently close the backmost window.
That's probably considered a minor frustration, but it could be easily fixed in several ways, so I'd like to suggest that.
Hopefully Apple won't take this suggestion as an attack on them, because it's a legitimate technical suggestion, and I'm weary of having my posts here deleted.

Possible to improve DVD ripping?

Friends,
I have a late-2009 imac i7 w/ 12gb RAM, OS X 6.8.2. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB. Whenever I rip a dvd, the fans eventually start blowing hard and the unit heats up. I'm not concerned but I am curious. If I had a newer machine, with a different "more powerful" graphics card or processor, would the machine strain less to perform the ripping? I'm not looking to buy a new machine (too much) but would the imacs be any better at the task? Or would they also work hard to rip the dvd?
Thanks!
Steve

They will would work just as hard. This is one of the most processor-intensive tasks and will demand maximum performance no matter what Mac you have. A newer one will be faster but the difference might not be significant to you.

BIA to improve performance for BPS Applications

Hi All,
Is it possible to improve performance of BPS applications using BIA. Currently we are running applications on BI-BPS which because of huge range of period are having a performance issue.
Would request to please share whether in this read and write option of BPS would BIA be helpful and to what extent can the performance be increased?
Request an early reply as system is in really bad shape and users are grappling with poor performance?
Rgds,
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
If the performance issue you are facing is while running the query on real-time (transactional) infocube being used in BPS, then BIA can help. The closed requests from real-time cube can be indexed in BIA. At the query runtime, analytic engine reads data from database for open request and from BIA for closed and indexed requests. It combines this data with the plan buffer cache and produce the result.
Hence if you are facing issue with query response time, BIA will defenitely help.

Praveen

Search report takes 1 minutes,may I improve it by paging?

Hi guys,
One search page in our application take about 1 minutes to get results. And it shows timeout if I don't give search criterias. How can I improve it?
The sql query joins about 10 tables and the sql is complicated. Is it possible to improve it by paging the search results? i.e., it only get the first 15 rows when user click search button.
Thanks,
Jessica

As other posters have suggested, I'd move the discussion to the PL/SQL to investigate methods of tuning your query - even with 10 tables, it may be possible to improve it.
If you are still finding the performance poor, it may be prudent to consider other methods for delivering the same result set. Depending on your requirement, why not try investigating the use of Materialized Views. Essentially, a Materialized View is a pre-executed query, with the result set "materialized" into a table. Combined with "query re-write" optimization (described in the same article), it can be quite a powerful (and transparent) way to improve performance, particularly for queries incorporating aggregated data.
I've made use of this feature on some occasions and found it to be useful - although only in situations where the data being queried changes infrequently (or at least only in periodic batches e.g. hourly, daily etc.) or where it's acceptable for there to be a lag relative to the real time position - if you need a real time view of data that changes frequently, MVs are decidely not the way to go.
edit: I should add that you can set the MV to refresh when certain events occur (e.g. CRUD transactions on the master tables) however, if the table changes rapidly ( several transactions a second, for example) you'll probably find the utility of using an MV is reduced.

Improve Portal performance with BI-Java by adding additional server node.

Hi SAP Expert
I wonder anyone might have attempted this before,
In an environment with BI-Java and Portal Java stack installed on the same server, is it possible to improve the system performance by adding additional portal server node? or is there any improvement seen by adding the extra server node?
I am after suggestion and experience on how the portal performance can be improve, with consideration of BI-Java sharing Portal resources.
Any comment will be most appreciated.

Hi Jim,
We've this configuration at our site, Portal and BI running together (not federated). Recommendations would be to:
1. Set a sensibly large max heap size on each server node of Portal (at least 2GB if not larger) and implement several nodes at least. For example we have 4 x physical nodes, each running 3 server nodes of 2GB max heap size apiece so a total of 12 nodes.
2. Implement the BI Safety Belt for large results sets (1127156)
3. Implement the latest JVM / JDK you can on your environment. We found much improved performance after implementing JDK SR10 with the J9/2.3 options enabled e.g., -Xjvm:j9vm23
-Xsoftrefthreshold0
4. Patch your BI components on the Portal (BIBASES, BIWEBAPP etc) to the latest available patch level for your Portal SP level
5. Make sure all your RFC connections are load balanced to the backend and tuned for the kind of load you expect on your reports, and the BI is sized appropriately in terms of app servers and dialog work processes, RFC-enabled login groups in SMLG etc.
6. Consult notes 1048691 (especially useful, opions &PROFILING=X&TRACE=X added to reports for example for performance tracing), 937697, 1021921, 948158 for information about problem analysis for this scenario
7. Implement SAP Web Dispatcher for Portal to reduce load on static mime files
8. Tune the Portal application. There's plenty information on SDN related to Portal performance tuning.
I hope this helps!
Cheers,
Marc

Advanced Settings to Improve Wireless Range (Fragmentation, RTS, and beacon interval)

I've got a WPA wireless network set up that utilizes a total of 4 WRT54GL routers as access points (on channels 1, 6, and 11 [the two APs furthest from each other both utilize 11). Each AP generally supports about 5 clients at a time (though sometimes as high as 10).
Generally, everything is working, but the clients furthest from the access points occasionally lose their connections, and some users have reported periods when they are completely unable to obtain an IP. I am virtually certain that this is based on poor signal strength resulting from distance from the APs and/or RF interference from other APs in the building. I have done everything possible to improve signal strength by router placement, optimizing channel usage based upon RF surveys, and upgrading to high-gain omnis.
This leaves nothing to do apart from tweaking the advanced wireless settings to marginally improve problems related to weak signal and/or RF interference, so I've been reading everything I can find on these boards and elsewhere about changing Fragmentation Threshold, RTS threshold, and beacon interval. However, I'm left with the following questions.
1) There seems to be disagreement about Fragmentation threshold and RTS threshold settings. Some (including the Linksys Technical Troubleshooting Wizard) recommend that both be set to 2304. I have also seen people insist that Fragmentation be set to 2306 and RTS to 2304. A few recommend 2306 for both thresholds, and some advise 2306 for Fragmentation and 2307 for RTS (though by my limited understanding, it simply disables RTS when the value is higher than the fragmentation threshold value). Which of these settings is best? And more importantly, WHY is it the best? Generally, I understand what the settings do, but I am reluctant to change them when there doesn't seem to be a consensus about exactly what they should be.
2) With respect to beacon interval, I've seen both 75ms and 50ms recommmended to replace the default of 100ms. For a network of my size (4 APs, averaging 5 users each), will increasing the number of beacons (and hence the RF traffic even when the network is idle) pose a problem? Also, I'm a little less clear as to how this would improve connectivity.
Since these settings will affect all users, I want to make sure that I'm using settings that will be beneficial on the whole. The last thing I want to do is inadvertantly make things worse, and since I can't test things directly from the standpoint of each user, I was hoping that someone could explain to me in greater detail what settings I should try and, more importantly, why.
Thank you for your help!

I changed my Beacon, RTS, and Frag values to the above values and now I'm unable to connect to the wireless network anymore. I tried to match the RTS and Fragmentation settings in my wireless utility (Hawking Wireless - RT73) to the new values, but I can't connect anymore. I didn't see anywhere i could change the Beacon number in the utility, but I wonder if that is my problem... Any ideas?
I have no internet, no network connection. I can connect to other networks in range, but even though the network with these altered Beacon/RTS/Frag values is detected, I cannot connect to it. I can send packets but all received packs fail. (CRC Fail, I think)
I can't get back into the web setup for the router, so is there anything I could do from my end? Find an adapter that lets me configure the Beacon setting?

Improving SSAS Tabular processing performances

Hi,
I need to know if it is possible to improve the full process of a/more large Tabular table/s without using another processing option (fe not using process add), but acting on ssas instance settings.
Any suggests to me, please?

The bad news is that processing those tables from the SSMS GUI ends up processing them in serial. The good news is that if you click the Script button instead of the OK button and then add a <Parallel> tag around both Process commands, it will process
both tables in serial. Other than that, I encourage you to read the Tabular Performance Guide mentioned above for other tips like changing the PacketSize.
