Problem using European Galaxy S4 with Bring-Your-Own-Device

Hi!
I recently moved back to the United States from The Netherlands. While living in The Netherlands, I bought a Galaxy S4 and used that phone with a European carrier (Vodafone).
Now that I'm back in the United States I'd like to sign up for Verizon Wireless' service on my S4 via the Bring-Your-Own-Device program, but my phone's IMEI is not recognized by Verizon (online I received an error message stating "The phone associated with the Device ID you entered is not compatible with the Verizon Wireless network"; I also tried in a Verizon Wireless store and they were unable to find my IMEI in their system either).
I bought the phone brand new so I'm the original owner, and all Vodafone contract phones are supposed to be unlocked by default.
The phone does have a disclaimer saying that it's a European model, and must be used for at least 5 minutes on a European carrier before it will be eligible to be used on a non-European service. However, I definitely used it on the European network for more than 5 minutes, so this shouldn't be a problem either.
So - any idea why my IMEI can't be found by Verizon Wireless? I'd really like to use the Verizon Wireless service with my existing phone!

Verizon only has Verizon IMEI numbers in its database. what happened to you will happen to anyone who tries to activate a non-Verizon phone.
You you can try an already Verizon activated SIM from another Verizon phone and put it in your phone. However, you may still have a problem since Verizon tech is still based on CDMA for basic voice calls and the European model probably does not have that capability.

Why am I being told I can't "Bring Your Own Device"?

According to this campaign they have, you can "get that old unused phone" and "Bring Your Own Device". Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to Prepaid, Plus Enjoy Flexible Plans
They don't even use terminology like "select devices", but when I have tried bringing my HTC DNA which was released in Nov 2012, they tell me that it isn't compatible with the prepaid 4g plans. Yet the new G3 and some newer phones, and some older phones I can trade in mine to get $60 and buy one of those instead. I asked online, and on a call and people have told me I shouldn't have a problem using the $45 prepaid plan with my HTC DNA, but my local store tells me I can't. I'm not under contract, and my phone is inactive atm so its not anything like that. Anybody have any suggestions or insight?

Someone else said Apple's servers are having problems tonight. Just try again later.

Having problems using ion tape express with itunes cannot find the song on hard drive

Having problems using ION tape express with itunes. The song is on hard drive as temp1 not the name of the song. And I have problems playing it in itunes
because it says it cannot locate the song'

Then correct the name of the song or point iTunes to the new file.
Issues with restoring should be directed to the manufacturer of the backup software/device... this is not an Apple or iTunes issue.

HT204053 Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices?

Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices? I just set up my IPhone 4S (first time user) using the same Apple ID as my daughters and now we receive each others texts, do I need to set up my own Apple ID account?

Yes, you can. In fact it's recommended that you use different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. You can still share the same ID for iTunes without any issues.
You are getting each other's text messages because you're using the same ID for iMessage. To fix this, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a different ID. To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

Calendar Server 3.5: Problem using user's ID with uniuser -mod command

When there are two users who have the same Common Name (CN) in LDAP but
different User ID's (uid
field), I have a problem using the uid
field as an argument to
uniuser -mod in Netscape Calendar
Server (NCS) 3.5. For example, there may be two users, User1 and User2, who
both have the CN "John Smith." 

User1
uid: jsmith2
sn: Smith
givenname: John
nscalxitemid: 10001:00314
User2
uid: jsmith
sn: Smith
givenname: John
nscalxitemid: 10001:00213

Let's say I want to change the value for nsCalOrgUnit2
for User1 to "jsmith." In NCS 4.0,
I can specify the uid as
an argument to uniuser -mod
. However, in NCS 3.5, if I specify the
uid as an argument to
uniuser -mod, the entry
for the user does not get changed. 

Calendar Server 4.0 

%uniuser -mod "ID=00314" -m "OU2=jsmith/OU3=People" -n 10001
 
uniuser: modified "Smith, John" 

(The LDAP entry for User1 also reflects this change.)

Calendar Server 3.5 

%uniuser -mod "ID=00314" "OU2=jsmith/OU3=People" 10001
 
uniuser: no need to modify "Smith,John" 

(The LDAP entry for User1 does not reflect the change.) 

%uniuser -mod "S=Smith/G=John/ID=00314" "OU2=jsmith/OU3=People"
10001 
uniuser: no need to modify "Smith,John" 

(The LDAP entry for User1 does not reflect the change.) 

If I use the command uniuser -mod "S=Smith/G=John"
"OU2=jsmith/OU3=People" 10001
in NCS 3.5, the script will change the entry of the first "John Smith" in the
database and will cause the LDAP entry for this user to be updated as well.
However, the entry modified may or may not be the correct one. So, in
NCS 3.5, is there a way to specify a particular uid
to ensure that the correct LDAP entry
is modified?

To modify a user's information using the uid
field in Calendar Server 3.5, change
the user.ini file. The
following steps show how to change a user's information by modifying the
.ini file: 

<OL>
<LI>Open the user.ini
file, which is in the path /users/unison/misc/user.ini

<LI>Add a section containing the desired changes. For example, 

[Test] 
OU2 = jsmith 
OU3 = People 

<LI>Run uniuser with
the following options: 

% uniuser -mod "ID=00314" -s Test 10001
</OL>

It turns out to be a problem with the user Keychain. It has some weird entry that was sending the wrong password. I delete all entries to the server and that corrected the problem

I am trying to set up my internet connection with my iphone 5 and the hotspot. I had no problem using the same computer with iphone 4. i am unable to do it and get an IP address conflict

I have a new iphone 5 with a personal hotspot. Am trying to establish wifi connection and get this message on my laptop. Network error, another computer is using the same IP address.

A free app called Fing will tell you what devices are connected to your network and what IP addresses they are using. Rebooting/resetting each of your devices will probably resolve things.

Problem using Instant Client 10g with PHP4.3.10-16 on Debian Sarge

Hello,
My current email is [email protected]
I am trying to use PHP on Debian box using Oracle 10gR2 on a RH 4 server. Everything works fine individually, but I cannot get PHP4 to use InstantClient to connect to the Oracle Server. This is what I've done:
Oracle 10gR2 works fine on the RH 4 server. Listener is running and all required OS security is in place and works (TCP_wrappers, etc.).
Client machine runs Debian 3.1 (Sarge). It works fine and SSH connectivity to RH4 server works.
Instant Client 10gR2 installed on Debian client and works fine. Tested SQL*Plus connection to the RH server. I installed Instant Client from the zip file.
I did have to add libclntsh.so to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig to get Debian to use it, though.
Apache2.0.54-5 on Debian client works fine. Web pages on it can be opened in browsers from other machines.
Installed PHP4.3.10-16 on Debian client using following:
./configure --with-oci8-instant-client=<dir of my choice>
--enable-sigchild
I first checked ./configure help and the option with-oci8-instant-client was there.
Configure went well. Log showed checking for Instant Client files.
Ran make. Saw numerous Instant Client message as words scrolled.
Ran make install. Successful.
Restarted Apache2 with following env variables:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<my Instant Client directory)
TNS_ADMIN=<same directory where I put my sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files).
SQLPATH=<same directory>
I know this is correct because Instant Client SQL*Plus can connect.
Browsers on other machines can view simple php scripts run from the Debian box.
BUT, phpinfo does NOT show an OCI8 section.
phpinfo does show the correct extension directory, though.
Somehow, my PHP4 configure and make is not using the --with-oci8-instant-client option.
I checked $PHP4HOME/ext/oci8/config.m4 file and the verbiage IS in there to use the --with-oci8-instant-client option, either with the default location or the extension_dir location.
I tried using the new ZendCore product, even though it is not certified for Debian. It installed okay but I could not get PHP5 to work. I uninstalled it successfully and redid all of the above.
So, any ideas as to what else I can do here? Other than not use Debian (which is probably the wisest thing to do). And I suppose I could install a thick Oracle client, assuming that Debian would take it. But I prefer the Instant Client.
I tried the PHP ./configure syntax I've seen several places on this forum.
./configure --with-oci8=instantclient,<directory>
This syntax may work on Red Hat machines but it throws a syntax error on Debian and aborts the configure.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks, but that did not work. Configure aborts because it cannot find the required OCI8 libraries. The --with-oci8 option is for the Oracle "thick" client. I have only the Instant Client...and am not interested in loading the older client.
I may have my own solution next week, though. I will be loading RH4 on a new server and will then install ZendCore and forget all about using Oracle with Debian.
Update on trying ZendCore on Debian Sarge:
I tried installing it again yesterday. The install seemed go to well, and said it was successful.
It did NOT load PHP5, however. Nor did it load the Instant Client. My previously installed PHP4 and Instant Client remained in my original directories.

Use a FULL BI system on your own laptop including Bex

Hi everybody
If you download the ABAP trial netweaver version it includes a fully decent working BI system in client 001.
Full RSA1 etc availabilty. It's also easy to use flat files as well for your source systems.
Bex (the EXCEL) version also runs proper queries etc just like on a full production BI system. CUBES, ODS'es etc etc all work just fine.
You can also copy business content from R/3 into the Abap netweaver system - I did it from the IDES R/3 system. Just activate the business content on the R/3 system and then replicate on the netweaver trial.
Copy also global settings and units of measure or you might get some "Units not available" when you try and create some real BI data. Just right mouse click after you've defined the R/3 system to your BI system.
Note however you'll need to install the FULL sap GUI (not the compact one in the ABAP trial netweaver) otherwise you won't have the Bex front end and you'll get dumps when you try and create DTP's
I'm not sure if SAP will continue to include BI in future netweaver trial demo systems so grab this one whilst you can.
BTW to get transfer between cl 001 on the sap trial demo and cl 800 on an IDES system run each system in its own virtual machine - I'm running 2 Windows 2003 virtual servers of 1 GB each on a 4GB laptop -- works fine.
Host system (Laptop) running W7 X-64 (SapGUI runs on this) with 2 Virtual machines running the SAP systems - you don't need to install the SAPGUI on the virtual servers.
The only problem I'm having is that there is a BIG difference in the screens between 3.5 BW and BI so a lot of the documentation on tutorials etc need to be a little bit changed.
Great learning tool for people who want to get up to speed (or even start learning) BI. Great also when you are stuck for hours on a train / in an airport.
cheers
jimbo

Unfortunatly we did not have a better solution for our prototyp so far. Our assumption are as follow...
- Bi Object Types 7x use webtemplates
- Webtemples requiere J2EE Engine configured on the BI System
Since Java is not set up on our Sandbox we need to wait until the development system comes with J2EE.
For testing you can easily create query view out of query by open them in Bex Analyzer and save as query view.

Using HH2 as WAP with Infinity and Android devices

We have just had Infinity installed.
Before Infinity I had two HH2s set up as waireless access points using the guide prodiced by Keith of this neighbourhood. They conected back to the HH3 via two TP-Link powerlink units. It all worked well. I never got round to resetting the SSID to the same on all 3 hubs which meant as you moved from one side of the house to the other you have to choose a different router.
BT set up Infinity today and it was working fine with my original setup however on the spur of the moment I decided I would change the SSID for all three hubs (two original HH2s and the new HH5).
I started with HH5 and it worked fine. I then worked my way around the other two HH2s and it seemed to work for a while and then suddenly when I was in the same room as the HH5 my Android tablet could not get the internet. Logging into the IP address for the HH5 it showed that it was connected. The blue linelight was on. The internet radio in the cooking room was connected and working, presumably connected to the nearest HH2.
I reset the wireless settings on the HH5 but still my tablet and my Android phone got the error page saying that there was no internet connection. After diconnecting a couple of times I eventually got the Android tablet connecting to both the HH5 and to the common SSID now shared by the HH2s. My phone wont connect at all.
As a test I then connected my work laptop via a cable connection to a TP-Link and it worked fine. I then connected it via the commn SSID (HH2 only) and the HH3 SSID and agin it works fine. This thread is created on WiFi to the common SSID.
Sorry for the long description.
Two questions:
1. When setting the common SSID I used the same passkey for all three routers, was this the best way to do it?
2. Why has my Android phone lost connectivity and how do I recover it?
PS 3rd question, why wont this forum accept the word "kit c hen"?
PPS I've just checked on the settings within HH5 and the phone is showing as connected but to the 2.4GHz signal.

There are a couple of different guides on my website, one of them is by Jarviser, so I don`t know which one you are using.
If you make all the SSIDs the same, then Android devices tend to get confused, as they see the same SSID, but with a different BSSID (Wireless MAC address).
This can cause them to fail to get a valid IP address, so you get no connectivity, this is a common issue with BT Wifi hotspots as well, when Android devices are used.
It would be better to use slightly different SSIDS, and then allow the devices to automatically select the one that is in range.
Make sure that the HH2s are on different channels, and make sure that smart wireless, and smart setup is disabled on the HH5.
To answer your last question, its part of the spam protection that was implemented on this forum a while back.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Can I use SCC-DI01 modules with a PCI-6533 device?

I am looking into performing buffered acquisition of various digital signals using a PCI-6533 device. Can I use SCC-DI01 modules with this device? If so, would this be via the SC-2345 Carrier? The manual seemed to suggest is was only compatible with E-series devices?
Basically, I want to monitor 32 digital channels and will have a mixture of 5V and 24V signals.
Many thanks,
Douglas

Hi Douglas
Could you please clarify where the manual suggests that the module is only compatible with an E series board (is it because only an E series board is referenced in the manual)?
I can't find any information stating which devices are/aren't supported by the SCC-DI01, but I will continue to investigate and keep you posted with my progress.
Kind Regards

Using Apple's sample project at your own gain, legal or not legal?

I found a sweet sample project in my Xcode developer folder called "Sketch". I would like to use it's code and redesign, redevelop, and totally flip it around to were I just used it as a template towards my own project. Is that legal to do? Considering Apple produced it as a sample project, not as a sample code to build on. Or would this be something to contact Apple about?

I've done that. None of them say anything about redistribution to an extent of mine. Most of them say stuff like this "I found this in other headers, but this one came from infoPlst.strings"
/* For the Finder's info panel. */
CFBundleGetInfoString = "2.0.1, Copyright © 1998-2009, Apple Inc.";
/* For the app's About panel. */
NSHumanReadableCopyright = "Copyright © 1998-2009, Apple Inc.\nAll rights reserved.";
/* On Mac OS 10.4 "Apple Sketch document" is the localization of the matching CFBundleTypeName entry in the Info.plist. On 10.5 it's also the localization of the matching UTTypeDescription entry in the Info.plist. The NSPDFPboardType and NSTIFFPboardType localizations are only used on 10.4, by Cocoa.

Problem using 2 separate computers with iPhoto

My friend and I have both upgraded to iPhoto 6. We have a problem when she brings a CD of her images to my house. When I load them to my computer I can view them regularly in iPhoto 6. However, when we try to view a slideshow and it gets to her photos, and her photos only, there is a gray screen with a light gray dashed square outline representing the image and it has an exclamation point or question mark in the middle (can't remember which). Also, when I try to export her images to my desktop it will not work.
Has anyone had this problem? I've already rebuilt my thumbnails which didn't help.

Deborah:
The gray screen and exclamation point indicates that iPhoto cannot find the image file that should be displayed. How is your friend burning the disk? It should be via the Share->Burn menu. Then the disk will mount in your iPhoto like this. You can select an album that she created and burned and run a slideshow off of it.
Her disk should look like this with the full sized image files in the Originals folder. You can check to see if they are there.
If the disk was created by exporting the files via the File->Export->File Export menu option then they would have to be imported into your iPhoto library for you to view them in iPhoto or use in a slideshow.
Do you Twango?

Problems using sprites in CM with Firefox

Hi,
Iu2019m tying to improve Portal Performance, improving XMLForms content, so decided to reduce the number of requests (images) using sprites, the problem is, for some reason, that I canu2019t understand, attribute u201Cbackgroundu201D or u201Cbackground-imageu201D, are being suppressed by the XMLForms XSLT Pipeline in Firefox, not in IE.
Example:
Using Firefox, create a new Content using a XMLForm with an HTML Editor in the model, in Firefox, this HTML Editor is replaced by a Textarea, insert something like u201C<A id=A20091013169500 title="Gripe A (H1N1)" style="DISPLAY: block; BACKGROUND: url(/irj/go/km/docs/documents/Images/destaques.gif) 0px 0px; WIDTH: 215px; HEIGHT: 50px" href="http://portaldev.tduarte.pt/irj/portal/tduarte/Contacte-nos" target=_top></A>u201D (use an image in your CM), after saving, the image is not being displayed, and after inspecting the element with firebug, I can see the attribute background was completely removed.
Thanks & Regards,
John

Hi Tobias,
Thanks for the tip, it is valuable, but I already knowed from u201CHow to Tune the Performance of Knowledge Management (NW7.0)u201D, it improves the download, but does not reduce the number of requests.
Besides this, what is the reason for working in IE and not in Firefox?
Besides all the above mentioned points, it is not possible to apply a cache, because Iu2019m talking about an iView of Highlights in the first page, that changes constantly, without a timebase defined.
Thanks & Regards,
John
