Potential bug with gps in iphone 3g?
Hey guys,
So I got my 16gig black iphone today. Everything was working fine, internet, maps, even the gps, until this evening. Sometimes, when I tell maps to locate me, the thing uses the triangulation to triangulate me to close to houston, texas. Now I live on the east coast, so this thing is definetely off. Also, when it was in that stage, waiting a little while and pressing the locate me again did nothing--no retriangulation or the little blue gps point showing up, it was stuck in texas. I tried everything, from resetting the default settings to hard resets (holding down the button on top), but it just wouldnt go back. Sometimes, the little blue circle thing that spins also sits there for a long time spinning, never triangulating anything. The 3g internet still works, along with all the other apps that use the internet.
Heres where it gets interesting.
I decided to turn of the 3g and use edge only. That has worked perfectly every time so far--It triangulates correctly and gps point shows up. I also tried wifi and that too has worked every time. but when I turn 3g back on, sometimes it will work but then suddenly, it stops working again.
Also, about once or twice, the 3g stops working all together(cant access internet on 3g or maps dont load). Again, I turn off and on the 3g in the settings and it starts working again. Im thinking that this is some sort of software bug since I have seen the triangulation problem on 2 other separate iphones (both 16gig blacks also btw). But this could also be some sort of major hardware problem too.
Maybe others should try turning off and on 3g and trying with edge and 3g to see if triangulation works. As of right now, the triangulation and gps are both working for me.
I have tried this inside and out and it makes no diff. Right now it is working inside, but sometimes it doesnt and the same for being outside. Also, one phone had apps and the other didnt, and both had problems, so i dont think it has to do with apps. Also, I have not tried the newer firmware on itunes yet.
Also, Ive read that other people having this problem also triangulate to texas. Whats with that? is that some default location or is something off with att?
Sorry for the long post but I just wanted to be detailed.
I am in the UK and I have no problems with GPS on my 16GB iPhone 3G when 3G is on, but it only seems to find my location if I am on the move! As soon as I am stationary outside it seems to default to 24th Street, Newport Beach, CA! If I get in my car start to drive and click on locate me, it will find me and track me the whole journey. It will also work as I reach my destination for about 5 minutes when suddenly the blue pin is gone after the screensaver comes on and by clicking on the locate button, it defaults back to California. Switching 3G off and then trying the locate button, it will spin forever or default me to CA. Also found that the locate me button seriously drains the battery, which is to be expected as it is working it's little balls of trying to find me. Saying all this, on one or two occasions it has found me when I have been stationary, so the issue seems to be inconsistent in it's behaviour. It is a shame as I do like the GPS functionality especially when using apps such as Vicinity or Local Picks. I do not want to reset my network settings as I have setup numerous wirless network locations and saved their passwords and I do not want to go through all that, only for the GPS to get it's knickers in a twist again.
Come on Apple, sort out the firmware and give us an update that will fix this temperamental GPS location service! I love this phone apart from the little gripes such as no Flash support, dodgy GPS and no MMS which I am sure can be all fixed via a software update! I am waiting...

Lightroom bug with GPS in raw files with XMP
I'm quite sure I've stumbled upon a bug in Lightroom. I look in my XMP file and I see my GPS info:
38,53,25118N
77,1,90390W
But in lightroom, it loads the coordinates as:
+58° 52' 25.00", -82° 14' 53.00"
Now I was thinking something was just wrong in the XMP file, so I load the same image in Bridge and I see the correct GPS information. So I know it's a problem with Lightroom.
I searched the forums and haven't found anyone else reporting this bug. So now I'm kind of stuck. Can anyone confirm or deny this behavior? I'm processing hundreds of images from my last vacation and I am really stuck here because I can't continue until this is fixed and the chances of it getting fixed any time soon seem pretty slim.After hours of painfully trying everything imagineable, here is what the problem is:
I downloaded the images to my PC using Downloader Pro (Breeze Systems) and initially viewed them with Bridge. Using a Windows XP in French. Apparently Downloader Pro used a comma instead of a period. Bridge understands it this way, as it's just a separator. However LR does not.
To fix it, I had to delete all my images from the library, then by hand modify each XMP and change the comma to a period. Then reimport into LR. I tested this on a few images and it works. Now I'm off to do the rest of the photos of my trip.
I'll report this to Breeze Systems as well, as I think it actually originates on their end. It'd be nice if LR could still read it like Bridge does. It seems LR is more strict and that's the problem. This could be considered a bug by LR as well since instead of ignoring the GPS coordinates or giving an error message, LR seems to calculate it and ends up being way off. For example, I was shooting in washington and all my photos showed up as being in North Dakota, Canada, South Dakota, etc. -
Potential bug with dual monitors running Maverick
When running dual display monitors on a MacMini I have found and can repeat where 2nd display open windows need to be dragged over to the primary display monitor to activate then dragged back before you can actively select or do anything in that window no matter what app you're using. Apple mail is the worst.
Second - primary screen has to be thunderbold monitor to HDMI with the title bars at the top of the primary screen only.
Mirroring has to be turned off, the menu bars can not be on both displays otherwise you can not access the app without dragging it back and forth to activate it. With mirroring turned off - most programs run. BUT Apple mail still does not.
I am using two HDMI ASUS 24 inch monitors running Maverick 10.9 (13A603) on a MacMini: Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
any solutions? Bug or some setting I should change?No, there is no way to set it up with two different interface (keyboard & mouse) setups.
Unfortunately, it sounds like your about to become a two or three computer family. -
Potential Bug with LabVIEW 2009, Report Generation Toolkit, and MS Office 2003
We have discovered an issue with the above listed software. Specifically this pertains to Print Report.vi in the Report Gen palette. Basically, we have discovered that with Office 2003 installed the VI will error out. We've been using it in an executable, and the executable physically fails (and asks us to report an error to Microsoft). With Office 2007 we don't have a problem. We've tried building the examples into executables, and those work because they are printing HTML reports.
Also, we have converted back to LabVIEW 8.6 and rebuilt the executable and installed and it works perfectly. Its on the combination of LabVIEW 2009 and Office 2003 that seems to fail.yeah, we had seen that, and been told about it by another user. we tried, to no avail. we still have ended up having to migrate back to 8.6.1 to get the executable to run properly.

A potential bug on the new feature (12c) of Identity Column?
Hi,
I am testing a newly introduced feature of Identity Column in Oracle 12c. I used EclipseLink (JPA) to access the database.
I may have found a potential bug with this feature. I am getting "ORA-30667: cannot drop NOT NULL constraint on a DEFAULT ON NULL column" when I try to insert a row. My code doesn't explicitly drop "NOT NULL" constraint.
When I delete all the tables under the user and re-define the user and the tables, the error disappear.
Here are the details:
Error:
DatabaseException Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-30667: cannot drop NOT NULL constraint on a DEFAULT ON NULL column Error Code: 604 Call: INSERT INTO MyTable (ID, SOMEID, SOMEDATE) VALUES (?, ?, ?) bind => [null, 100100147, 2013-11-29 Query: InsertObjectQuery(cus.entity.MyTable@1a9ea5b)
Table definition:

interval(numtodsinterval(1,'year'))
SUBPARTITION BY HASH ( someId)
SUBPARTITIONS 20
PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-12-2013', 'DD-MM-YYYY'))
Could anyone tell me if there might be a bug associated with the new feature or if there was something wrong with my code?
I would be appreciated if anyone can help."here is a reproducible test case in the SCOTT schema - if it reproduces for you open an SR with Oracle"
Yes. I have just followed the instruction you posted and managed to re-produce the same error I reported earlier. Here are the details of the script output following your posted instruction:

"Import GPS from iPhone" no longer working with iPhone 4 & 4S
Hi-
Since upgrading to the Iphone 4, the Import GPS from Iphone function has ceased to work. The phone appears on the import screen, and photos can be imported sucesfully (and the GPS data is embedded correctly on the photo), but when you go to the places window and go to the import gps from iphone function, the window opens like it's trying to bring up the photos but nothing appears.
This bug continues with the 4S. This function worked fine with my Iphone 3.
Has anyone found a work around for this? I'm surprised this bug has yet to be fixed.
Thanks
MattI have the same problem the screen is show something like this:
And never stops and show any photo.
In other way i want to use it to create an slideshow that scroll the map showing the photos, it is possible?
An update soon to fix this problem...
Thanks... -
Potential bug in javamail + qmail when email body starts with dots
I may have discovered a potential issue with using JavaMail + QMail server. It appears that if there is a message in my mailbox which starts with either one dot ('.') or a series of dots ('...hello there'), when I attempt to do a :
inbox.fetch(messages, profile);
I get the following JavaMail error:
javax.mail.MessagingException: error getting size;
nested exception is:
java.io.IOException: Unexpected response: .
at com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Message.getSize(POP3Message.java:100)
at com.sun.mail.pop3.POP3Folder.fetch(POP3Folder.java:369)
This issue seems to only occur on qmail. When I try to read the same email starting with one or multiple leading dots, I can retreive it without any issues.
Has anyone else experienced anything of the sort?Almost certainly it's a QMail bug. Turn on session
debugging and
examine the protocol trace to see what the server is
really saying.
If you need help interpreting it, send it to us at
[email protected]
or post it here.you might be right. here's the output from the javax.mail debug mode. note that it appears that qmail potentially returns the headers as well as an extraneous dot ('.') and that is what causes the whole issue:

Possible iPhone bug with custom recurring day schedule? Need help.
In Microsoft Outlook I have a 64 day schedule that is set up as single all day recurring events each day. Each day of the 64 day schedule recurrs every 64 days. Day 1 recurrs every 64 days, day 2 recurrs every 64 days, etc., etc.
When I synced this to an iPhone, each day had an incorrect custom recurring day set at every 18 days. This, of course threw off the whole schedule. After doing some testing, I found out that a custom recurr of 45 days worked, a custom recurr of 46 days told the iPhone it recurred every 1 day. 47 day recurr did the same thing. 48 day recurr told the iPhone it recurred every 2 days, 49 day recurr became 3 days, 50 became 4 days, 51 became 5 days...64 became 18 days.
Is this indeed a bug with iPhone or is there something I can do for a single 1 day event recurr every 64 days? And, why is there no custom setting when setting up an event on the iPhone?ICKIER wrote:
Is this too complicated for a reply?!
Apparently, no one has a solution for you. It may be a bona fide bug. You can let Apple know about that:

"Import GPS from iPhone photos" does not work with iPhone 4
I have not been able to get A3's "Import GPS from iPhone photos" to work with my iPhone 4, I get an empty list of photos. A3 is able to import photos from iPhoto 4 without any problems but I'm not able to get the GPS data.
I'm not sure if it is an iPhone 4 or iOS4 issue, I tried my old iPhone 2G and "Import GPS from iPhone photos" is working fine.Where are you seeing this "Import GPS from iPhone" option?? I just tried importing a picture directly from my iPhone ,and it correctly had its place marked on the Places map. Am I misunderstanding what you all are trying to do??

IPhone 5 ios 6.1 siri bug with headphone
Hello,
I noticed today that after I updated to IOS 6.1 siri no longer works when I use a headphone and have the phone in my pocket. If I initiate siri using the headphone button, it beeps for me to speak then immediately beeps to indicate siri is no longer active. It works if the phone is out of my pocket. Perhaps there is a bug with the proximitiy sensor that turns off siri? Can anyone confirm this and if so, how can I submit this as a bug to apple?Same thing happens to me. It's happening because using the headset activates the siri button, then your leg touches the button immediately dismissing or quitting siri. The only solution I know of is to turn the screen of your phone away from your leg while the phone is in your pocket.

Possible BUG? A problem with Safari on IPhone & IPad
Hi all...
I have a problem with safari on Iphone & Ipad, my animations are not working
This is what the code does...
Upon load an event fires and and the "ready" animation starts (its a box that gets bigger and smaller), but the animation will not work on IPhone & IPad when i have an SVG or PNG file anywhere within my composition..
I know this sounds crazy so i have attached the sample code
http://adobe.ly/1mw781A
If you try deleting the "theProblem" (which is an SVG file) from the composition and then re-run it on Iphone & Ipad and you will see that it animates..
This problem does NOT occur on any other browser
With my limited knowledge i can only assume that it is something basic i have missed..
Please if you could take a look i would be most gratefull!...
many thanks
Justin!I started thinking that maybe my home webserver was causing the issues..
So i set a quick online one up and uploaded the testfile that you guys have access to here...
LINK1: this is the edge composition WITH the svg file
http://testsite1234.host22.com/test/events.html
now the animation that originally worked in all browsers except safari refuses to work in any browser
BUT if i re-load the page it works in chrome and firefox and IExplorer (is my problem something to do with my scripts?
LINK2: this is the edge composition WITHOUT the svg file
http://testsite1234.host22.com/test/events1.html
as per usual this version works in all browsers because there is no svg file
Please if anyone can help... now im completly lost...
Im starting to think that it must be a server issue, are there any settings that i need to enable to make edge compositions run correctly...?
many many thank! -
Review of the iPhone 3G: Finding Bliss with my new iPhone 3G
☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻
10/10 happy faces
I bought the new iPhone 3G a couple of weeks ago (the first Apple product I have owned), and I have to tell you--I LOVE IT! It is sheer "bliss". The phone is sleek and easy to hold. More importantly, it is super easy to use. Everything is activated by touch or a quick flick of your finger. And it's FUN! I've never had a "fun phone" before this.
I would recommend this phone to anyone, especially to those who have problems using the regular phone-style keypad to text. It is also the perfect phone to give to someone who may be "technically challenged" because once you comprehend how it works, it is easy to use.
Here are some of the things I like about the iPhone 3G:
Usefulness & User Friendly
In the past, my other cell phones have been used for the calendar, once in a blue moon for the game on it, but mostly as a phone--that's it. With my iPhone, I can:
-download my email contact list in Outlook (or others) so that I have all my contacts on my phone
-call friends just by touching their name in my contact list
-activate the speaker by one touch during any call
-access the internet and enlarge parts of any website or turn the iPhone horizontally for easier reading
-send out a Twitter post in seconds
-plan my schedule in the calendar (I actually use this more now)
-use Google Maps to help me navigate and GPS to see exactly where I am and what's around me (makes ordering pizza a breeze)
-download numerous applications, music, videos etc from iTunes, plus from my computer (did that all on day 1)
-take great pictures; it's a camera too--I can view them separately or as a slideshow
-download photos from my laptop or PC to my phone
-get a TV guide app that will show me what's on TV--great for when I'm traveling (only US for now but they promise Canadian compatibility is on the way)
-get a movie app that shows me what movies are on, where and when (even in Canada!)
-gives me a direct link to YouTube so I can watch clips (get the 6G or higher data package!)
-check the weather forecast for the week--anywhere (great for when traveling!)
-check our stocks (not a pretty picture right now!)
-set world clocks (great for traveling!)
-play numerous games that I can download from iTunes (many simulate the Wii experience)
-use as an iPod, complete with headphones and speaker so I can take calls while listening to music (much like having a bluetooth)
-send and receive email (easy to read and to type)
-easily send text messages*
-type notes and email them to myself so I can save on my PC**
*Texting
I could text on my last phone, but I hated using the tiny numerical keypad. I'm not a teenager that can rapidly fire off a whole paragraph in mere seconds. It took me forever to type a text message. So I rarely used that function.
With my new iPhone, texting is a breeze--and fun. It is made easy by the use of a simulated keyboard that pops up. Since I'm a writer, using a keyboard is second nature to me. The letters on the iPhone keyboard are quite large and easy to tap. When you tap a letter and hold for a second, the letter pops up enlarged, making it easier to read for those of us who have vision issues. I don't even need my reading glasses for this.
All text conversations are stored so you can flick back over a conversation that may have taken place over weeks. You can read both sides of the conversation in colored balloons. Or you can erase the conversation and start fresh.
**Notes
The notes application opens to a legal pad (yellow pad with lines). All you have to do is tap on a line to drop the cursor, then use the keyboard to type. With all typing on this phone, you can touch and hold and a magnifying bubble comes up, helping you to see the text more easily. This way you can move the cursor if you need to correct something. With the iPhone's smart technology, it'll offer you suggestions for words that you accept by tapping the space bar.
Finding Bliss
Two nights ago, I discovered just how much this note app will help me. I write novels--suspense mainly. Because my imagination is so active and is always "on", I am often blasted with an idea for a novel at the least convenient time. Sometimes while I'm driving, sometimes while I'm watching TV. In these cases, I scramble around for paper, write down my thoughts, then end up losing or misplacing the paper if I haven't entered the info on my computer.
Two nights ago this happened. I was watching TV and a commercial came on. It was for Bliss chocolates. First, it made me want chocolate (lol). But the more I looked at the word "Bliss" in its pretty scrolling font, the more I started to picture a young girl--named Bliss.
Then...BAM!
I was blasted with a story that made me sit up in my chair and reach for my iPhone. I couldn't let this idea or Bliss escape. I had to capture her story right away. So I made some notes. When I was done I had a very brief plot outline. I was extremely happy to see that I could email it to myself, which I did. Then I went on my PC, opened the email and copied the text into a new folder with the title of this new YA novel--Finding Bliss.
The following day I told my husband about my new novel idea and about Bliss and my iPhone note feature. While we sat in the mall, another piece of her story showed itself to me. So out came my iPhone, type-type-type send.
As my husband and I talked, he gave me a terrific idea. *I am going to write Finding Bliss on my iPhone!* A complete novel, using the notes feature. The iPhone will also be featured in my novel; someone will be using it. Marc suggested I contact Apple and let them know what I'm doing and how I'm using the new iPhone 3G. I think that's a great idea. They might get a kick out of the fact that a bestselling Canadian author is using her iPhone to write a novel.
I have already started Chapter 1 of Finding Bliss. My plan is to write it on the iPhone, then edit it on my PC.
As for Bliss chocolates, I bought a bag to celebrate. They're heavenly.
And my new novel? It will be a project of love.
Finding Bliss will be an emotional, heartwarming story of a teenager who must fight to survive a world of abuse, lies and loss. As she struggles to find herself, Bliss will discover exactly where she belongs and she'll learn that she is worthy of love after all.
~Cheryl Kaye Tardif,
bestselling author of Whale SongWow, what a great review. But that's expected from a writer. I had an HTC Touch but it had to be rebooted after 20 to 30 minutes of play. It got kinda boring. I cant put this iphone down.
You forgot to add you can do full sentences without abbreviating when texting or emailing. It's that easy! -
Small bugs in software on iPhone 3G running iOS 4.1
Hi, since I upgraded my iPhone 3G to iOS 4.1 a few days ago, I have noticed a couple of small problems/bugs, and was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences. One problem is, before iOS 4.1, when I was running the 3.1.2 software, my wifi signal "strength" indicator would usually show full bars for our home wifi network. Now, with the iOS 4.1 upgrade, the wifi signal strength generally (with the same network) shows as being one bar less than maximum.
The other problem is a bug with listening to song previews in the "iTunes" app. I'm pretty sure that before the 4.1 software, I could tap a song once and the preview would start playing pretty quickly. Now, however, this works about one out of five times, and the rest of the time the "spinning indicator" spins for ages, and the only way it will play a song preview is if I tap the name of the song again. This is just a minor annoyance, but ideally it would be good to have the feature working as well as it did in the 3.1.2 software.
Has anyone else experienced these problems with iOS 4.1 on an iPhone 3G? And could it be to do with the fact that I upgraded an existing install of iPhone OS (for instance, if I was installing Mac OS X and I was having problems, I'd do a clean install instead of an upgrade install)? Could it be worth trying to set up the phone as a new phone to try and avoid these problems? Many thanks,
Arko ChakrabartyOne thing about this update, that is supposed (among other things) to resolve the iPhone 3G bugs:
well, it is better, but not yet perfect! Some slowliness and freezes left!
Come on, Apple guys (and girls), go for it!!! Get iPhone 3g a real update! You know you can do it Please??
Oh, one more thing:
the iPhone 3G is my wife's. I now have an iPhone4. And with the 4.0.2 update, I saw some slowliness. Just a little bit, of course, not like the iPhone 3G! Well, cout that be a lead?

How does GPS in iPhone 4 & 4S work?
I am an AT&T 2GB data connection subscriber and will be cross-province touring in Quebec, Canada. I am debating on whether to get a portable GPS receiver or use my iPhone to get directions and map layout.
Does the iPhone GPS require data connection to the network provider to get map directions? If data connection is required to obtain maps, what iOS application allows downloading of maps for off-line use by the app to provide mapping directions in conjunction with the GPS?
Thanks.When the iPhone is activated, an activation fee is charged. None of the iPhone functions work with a new iPhone until the iPhone is activated with AT&T except for being able to place an emergency 911 call.
and what's the one month's service about?
When an iPhone that is purchased at the no-commitment or no-contract price, it is activated with AT&T on a post-paid/monthly billed basis as with an iPhone that is purchased with a two year contract but is on a month to month basis. Service can be cancelled at any time without an an early contract termination fee since there is no contract, but if service is cancelled during the first month or on the next day after the iPhone is activated, you will be billed for one month - for the chosen calling plan and data plan which is required along with the iPhone's activation fee.
http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=18004&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=30863
All new and current iPhone customers who are upgrade eligible, plus existing customers who choose to upgrade early must agree to a two-year term commitment, and select an eligible voice and data plan for iPhone. *No Commitment pricing does not require a two-year term commitment, but does require both voice and data service.* -
Photo sync bug with Aperture albums?
Hi, I think I have found a bug with how iTunes syncs photos across to my new (and until my number ports across, useless) iPhone.
If you set it up that only selected Aperture albums are synced, like this;
[ ] album1
[tick] album2
[ ] album3
[tick] album4
then albums 2 and 4 are optimized and copied across.
However, if in Aperture you create a new album (by importing new photos, say) that appears in the list, e.g., between album2 and album3, then the ticks retain their spacial position, not their position relative to the album they are meant to sync;
[ ] album1
[tick] album2
[ ] album_new
[tick] album3
[ ] album4
So now, when you sync, album4 is deleted and album3 is placed on the phone - not what you would expect.
Has anyone else noticed this?

It is fixed now though. If you upgrade to iTunes 7.5, and iPhone software Update 1.1.2
Hi Scott,
Thanks for the reply.
That's strange... I am using leopard, with iTunes 7.5 and a brand new UK iPhone (so it has 1.1.2 already on it). It was essentially in 'virgin' state too; I had to return my 1st phone due to a tiny but annoying problem with it. I noticed the this after only a couple of syncs - when the sync was taking a while due to the photo optimizing step.
I will take another look tonight.
Thanks,
Tristan
