Question about network simlocks and countries

No, I'm not asking how to unlock the phone, as that would be unethical. (Whether or not it is illegal is an interesting question, but not one I'm prepared to venture into here.)
A friend of mine has a phone that is simlocked to Orange in the UK, and I'm contemplating buying it from him.
However, even though I'm with Orange, I live in Switzerland.
Will a phone simlocked to Orange(UK) work with Orange(CH)?

The simlock information stored in the usually specifies network operator and country. The phone may ignore the country setting if the operator information is correct but I wouldn't bet on it!

  • Question about networking iMac and streaming video to TV

    I have the 24" iMac 2.66GHz with 4 G ram. Currently using Motorola SBG900 (Docsis 2) cable modem & router to stream Comcast through house (another PC, iPhones, LG Blu Ray player/digital video streamer).
    Recently acquired a Netgear Rangemax 3700 which is supposed to be the fastest current wireless router. Here are my questions:
    1) Can I just use the Motorola SBG900 as modem ONLY and run the ethernet out of it to the Netgear router (thus bypassing the router built into the SBG900). Will this accelerate the streaming of video to other receivers?
    2) Would I be better off with a Motorola 6120 Docsis 3 Cable modem feeding the Netgear router (even though my Comcast cable feed is Docsis 2, not 3)?
    3) Since my Comcast account is rated 10 Mbps max (though it sometimes goes up to 15 or so late at night) and I believe the existing Motorola SBG90 is rated at 54 Mbps, is the limiting factor the speed of my Comcast connection and all else doesn't matter? That is, is it impossible to speed up my streaming or download speed without a faster connection to the Internet?
    4) What kinds of connections are there that are faster than Comcast cable connections?
    Basically, I don't want to waste money or time if I'm already at the maximum throughput available given my connection. If I can get marginal speed increases by adding new modem and router, that's fine. I'll do that.
    Thanks for your help.
    PS: I owned and returned the Airport Extreme Base Station. It did not increase the speed of my connection or streaming, but then it tested very poorly at www.smallnetbuilder.com -- about half the speed of the Netgear Rangemax.

    Can't help with Q 1 + 2, but here are some things to consider re:
    +3) Since my Comcast account is rated 10 Mbps max (though it sometimes goes up to 15 or so late at night) and I believe the existing Motorola SBG90 is rated at 54 Mbps, is the limiting factor the speed of my Comcast connection and all else doesn't matter? That is, is it impossible to speed up my streaming or download speed without a faster connection to the Internet?+
    My Comcast account is rated 15 Mbps and I never get that. I've done everything I can here including Cat 6 cables (instead of Cat 5), but the major problem/hangup in my case is: Comcast is using 20-year old buried cables from their hub (approx. 10 mi across town) to the neighborhoods here - those cables are "leftovers" from the company Comcast purchased the rights from. So, we not only have old cables, but the little boxes all over the neighborhood feed at least 6 - 10 homes each, so you are sharing the available bandwidth with the neighbors. And, whenever everyone seems to be online at the same time, my downloads slow down to a c r a w l (as slow or slower than dialup occasionally!).
    So, unless you have a better/newer cable setup where you are, you need to keep that in mind; in that case, no matter what you do, you are at the mercy of Comcast's equipment and your neighbors' usage.
    4) The only one I know of is FioS (fiber optic).

  • Short question about networking, Threads and  web services..

    Lets say I got 2 classes, Midlet A and Thread B.
    I created Thread B because web services (jsr-172) uses networking and It has to be done in a separate thread other then the Midlet A.
    So, in Thread B, I have the run(), where I do all my stuff, and some getSomething() methods.
    I need to have run() complete before calling getSomething(), so I used something like this in Midlet A:
    while(true){
        if(b.isAlive())
            getSomething();
    }Problem is, Thread B only runs to completion when I don't call b.isAlive(). (I know from System.out.println I placed in it) When I do use any methods like wait() or join() or isAlive(), Thread B stops at the web service call.
    I really don't understand what's the problem. I've tried various ways to only call getSomething() when the thread finishes running, but all of them made my WTK emulator hang at the part where it asks for permission to access the network.
    If I don't use getSomething(), which is the purpose of starting the thread in the first place, it runs fine in the emulator and doesn't hang anywhere. Oh the irony.

    Bump!
    Anyone got even half a clue what's wrong? =O
    Hmm. I think that having the midlet wait for the thread causes the midlet to hang because the thread will then wait for the midlet for permission to access the network, but the midlet is waiting for the thread to finish it's code. Damn.

  • Question About Color's and Gradients

    Hi all,
    I have a question about color swatches and gradients.
    I am curious to know, if I have 2 color swatches that I make into a gradient color, is it posible to change the tint of each indivdual color in that gradient and have that applied to the gradient without having to adjust the gradients opacity.
    The reason that I'm asking this is because in creating a project I found that the colors that I chose for to make my gradient from my swatches were to dark, and while I can adjust each one's tint to my liking (if the object they were applied to was going to be a solid color) but that doesn't seem to apply to the overall gradient.
    I hope that makes sense, I know that this was something that was able to be accomplished in quark and was wondering if I can do something similar.

    If you double click your gradient swatch (after adding it to the swatches)
    Then click a colour stop in the gradient, and then change the drop down menu to CMYK (or rgb)
    And you can alter the percentages there. It's not much use for spot colours but it's a start.
    But making tint swatches would be a good start anyway.
    At least then when you double click the gradient (in the swatches) to edit it you can choose from CMYK, RGB, LAB, or Swatches and adjust each colour stop to your liking.

  • Question about clear page and reset pagination

    Hi,
    I have a question about clear pages and the reset pagination in an URL. What is the reason why a clear page doesn't also trigger a reset pagination on the pages which are cleared?
    I can't really imagine a business case where it makes sense to clear all data of page items on a page and don't reset the pagination of reports on that page which probably use a page item in there where clause...
    The drawback of this behavior is that a developer always has to set the reset pagination checkbox when he clears the target page and the even bigger drawback is that if you specify other pages to clear, you can't reset pagination for them, because reset pagination only works for the target page.
    Thanks for your input.

  • The question about portlet customization and synchronization

    I have a question about portlet customization and synchronization.
    When I call
    NameValuePersonalizationObject data = (NameValuePersonalizationObject) PortletRendererUtil.getEditData(portletRenderRequest);
    portletRenderRequest.setPortletTitle(str);
    portletRenderRequest.putString(aKey, aValue);
    PortletRendererUtil.submitEditData(portletRenderRequest, data);
    Should I make any synchronization myself (use "synchronized" blocks or something else) or this procedure is made thread-safe on the level of the Portal API?

    HI Dimitry,
    I dont think you have to synchronize the block. i guess the code is synchronized internally.

  • A question about item "type and release" of  source system creation

    Hello expert,
    I have a question about item "type and release" of  source system creation.
    As we know,when we create a web servie source system,there will display a pop-up which includes three items as "logical system","source system"and "type and release".
    About the item "type and release",when we push "F4" button,there will be three default selections as below:
    "ORA 115     Oracle Applications 11i
    TLF 205     Tealeaf 2.05B
    XPD 020     SAP xPD".
    Who can tell me when and how should I use the three selections.
    And also I attempted to input the item by some optional letters except the default three selections and it seems that I can input it freely.
    Thank you and Best Regards,
    Maggie

    Hello DMK,
    Thank you very much for your answer.It is very helpful for me.
    Can I ask you further about it?
    I got that it is a semantic description item.
    You said the default selections are set by our basis people.Would you like to tell me how should we creat a new value except the default ones for item "type and release"?Only by inputing the value in the item directly?But you see we canot see the new value item we created by ourself when we push "F4" button next time ,is that ok?Or do we have to ask basis people to define one new value item just like the default seletions before we use it.
    Also if possible would you like to describe detail about "This becomes important when you are troubleshooting certain issues especially when RFC connection problems."
    Thank you and Best Regards,

  • A few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx

    i have a few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx , how much better is the dka790gx compaired to the ka790gx ? . how much difference does the ACC function make to overclocking etc , i plan on getting a phenom II 940BE or 720BE . i already have the ka790gx so would it be worth building another system using the dka790gx mobo , or should i keep what i already have and just change the cpu ?

    It's largely irrelevant what other boards had VRM issues other than the KA790GX - the fact is it died at stock settings. Since there is little cost difference between the more robust DKA790GX (or Platinum if you really need 1394) why bother with the proven weakling? There are other examples around of the KA not having a robust power section.  There's no way I would use even a 95W TDP CPU in the KA and absolutely not O/C.....!
    As for the credentials of Custom PC, I have generally found their reviews accurate and balanced, and echo my own findings where applicable. If a little too infrequent.
    The fact that the KA has such a huge VRM heatsink leads me to my other comments on the Forum, particularly regarding the "fudge" aspect:
    """Henry is spot on - the notion that adding a heatsink to the top of the D2PAK or whatever MOSFETS is effective is virtually worthless. The device's die thermal junction is the tab on the device back - which is always against the PCB pad. The majority of heat is therefore dissipated in to the board, and the fact that the epoxy plastic encapsulation gets hot is simply due to the inability of the heat to be conducted away from the device die via the tab. Not sure when Epoxy become an effective conductor of heat.... Good practice is to increase the size of the PCB pad (or "land" in American) such that the enlarged PCB copper area acts as an adequate heatsink. This is still not as effective as clamping a power device tab to an actual piece of ali or copper, but since the devices used are SMD devices, this is not possible. However, the surface area required to provide sufficient PCB copper area to act as a heatsink for several devices isn't available in the current motherboard layouts. Where industrial SBC designs differ in this respect is to place the VRM MOSFETs on the back of the PCB on very enlarged PCB pads - where real estate for components is not an issue.
    Gigabyte's UD3 2oz copper mainboards sound like a good idea, on the face of it. However, without knowing how they have connected the device tabs to where and what remains a mystery. I suspect it is more hype than solution, although there will be some positive effect. From an electrical perspective, having lower resistance connecting whatever to whatever (probably just a 0V plane) is no bad thing.
    The way the likes of ASUS sort of get round the problem is to increase the sheer number of MOSFET devices and effectively spread the heat dissipation over a larger physical area. This works to a degree, there is the same amount of heat being dissipated, but over several more square inches. The other advantage of this is that each leg of the VRM circuit passes less current and therefore localised heat is reduced. Remember that as well as absolute peak operating temperature causing reduced component life, thermal cycling stresses the mechanical aspects of components (die wire bonds for example) as well as the solder joints on the board. Keeping components at a relatively constant temperature, even if this is high (but within operating temperature limits), is a means of promoting longevity.
    For myself, the first thing I do with a seperate VRM heatsink is take it off and use a quiet fan to blow air on to the VRM area of the PCB - this is where the heat is. This has the added benefit of actively cooling the inductors and capacitors too....
    Cooling the epoxy component body is a fudge. If the epoxy (and thus any heatsink plonked on top of it) is running at 60C, the component die is way above that.....
    It's better than nothing, but only just."""

  • Question about network statement in OSPF and BGP

    The network statements in OSPF and BGP can be used to advertise networks. But I'm not clear under what circumstances would make more sense to use network statements to advertise a network than by using other methods to have the network learned by other routers.
    Here is an example: assume I'm running BGP on router A. I want to advertise network 10.1.1.0/24 to other BGP peers. I have a OSPF route for this network. I can do 2 things: one is to use "network 10.1.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0", the other is to do "redistribute OSPF ... route-map OSPF-INTO-BGP", and create a prefix list to permit 10.1.1.0/24.
    Both would work to have this network learned by other BGP peers. But which is better for what purpose?
    Thanks a lot
    Gary

    Hi Gary,
    There is one little difference between the use of the two approaches - the route injected into BGP by using a network statement will carry an Origin attribute of IGP, whereas the route injected using redistribution will have an Origin attribute of Incomplete. Now, that is not a huge issue since you can always change that whatever value you desire both with the use of the network statement and redistribution. The important thing, however, is that in the BGP best path selection process, the Origin attribute comparison is fairly high up and will prefer a route with the attribute of IGP.
    Apart from that, there is absolutely no difference between using the network statement and using redistribution with a route-map that matches exactly on the same route that you would have specified with the network statement.
    I guess one advantage of using the redistribute approach is that it does not clutter up the BGP config. If you wish to add more routes, you simply add them to the prefix list so that you don't really touch the BGP config portion at all..
    Hope that helps - pls do remember to rate posts that help.

  • Questions about networking a desktop app

    So the background first: I'm working on a hobby program, and wanted to try my hand at networking it. It's a desktop app (a simple game) that two or more users can play at the same time. There's no centralized server to connect to, it will be an ad hoc connection. One user hosts a game (starts a server) and then others join the game (start their clients). I've done a lot of research, but still have some unanswered questions. I plan on using ssl encrypted socket connections. I used this tutorial to learn about trust managers and such.
    My questions are:
    1) What's the best way to give the users the info they need to connect to each other? I haven't looked into it yet, but I'm assuming it's not to hard to display the server's ip address, which they can give to the clients to connect to the server. PC games used to do this years ago before companies began hosting matchmaking services. Is there more required than that?
    2) What's the best way to pick a port number that all user's have access to? I know I need to pick a port that isn't registered by another app, and that the port number will need to be given to the clients along with the server's ip. If the server is able to open that port, is there a situation where clients wouldn't be able to access that port?
    3) Since this is basically a toy, I don't want to to the trouble of something like Verisign for security. Will a self-signed certificate authority be adequate? My concerns are not opening user's computers to attack, and protecting the data in transit. I know ssl will protect the data, but I'm not knowledgable with security to be sure if a shared trust manager will be enough to only let the app access the connection. What are the risks of someone bypassing the security and gaining access to our systems?
    I've never written an application that had to deal with network security, so please pardon my paranoia, and thanks very much for any help.

    If you are getting the week or intermittent wireless connection then,try the following settings on the router...Under the Wireless tab,Change the Channel Width to 20MHz and Channel to 11..Provide unique SSID.Under the Advanced Wireless Settings..Change the Beacon Interval to 50,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...Power Cycle the network and check the connection.
    WPA2 is very secured Secured type,so it is advisable to use it.However,it is not necessary to use WPA2.
    If you are using "N"Router then,to get the full advantage of N Speed,you should "N" Adapter.
    If you want to set the static DNS on the computer or any other wireless device then,you can set any DNS numbers.
    To repeat the wireless signal of the N Router,I would suggest you to go for an Access Point like WAP610N.

  • Basic questions about Network Licence

    Hi,
    Before buying, I have some basics questions about the network licence of Acrobat
    As an example, if I buy 5 network licence for 20 users.
    If the 5 licence are used or if one user is outside and can't access the licence serveur, is there still some basic features available? I mean, is there a "acrobat reader" part that still allow users to read pdf?
    In the same kind of problem, if 10 users are using Acrobat just for reading pdf file and that a user now want to use acrobat to create a pdf, is there still available licence  or the 5 firsts that are just reading have take the 5 licences available?
    Thank you for your answers

  • Advice About Network Design and Security

    Dear All,
    I have the following network scenario:
    An Internal Mail server that forward the mail messages to an external sendmail server that send/receive the mails from Internet.
    Between the two mails servers starting from the inside, there are a L3Switch that act like bridge among the internal networks subnets 172.16.0.0/22 where is connected the internal mail server .161.
    The L3Switch is connected to the first Pix on the inside interface, and it is connected to the second Pix inside interface by its Dmz interface.The second pix has connected on the outside interface the ISP router, and on its DMZ the sendmail server that has a public ip 84.184.164.83/29.
    My question is:
    From a security point of view, how is important that the internal and external mail server do not has routing informations about the external and internal networks ?I have configured the second pix to perform a port redirection in this way:
    static (dmz,inside) tcp 172.16.243.1 smtp 84.184.164.83 smtp netmask 255.255.255.255
    The internal mail server forward the mail to 172.16.243.1 the pix apply the static, perform the port redirection to 84.184.164.83.
    Than I have added also:
    static (dmz,inside) 172.26.243.1 84.184.164.83 netmask 255.255.255.255
    In this way the pix perform the outside nat so the source address is changed from 84.184.164.83 to 172.26.243.1,so I have configured on the external mail server the 172.26.243.1 instead of the real ip.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure about best practice in this area, but I think it's safe to say that the less information that's available on your externally reachable devices, the better. I think your config is sound, but if possible, it's a good idea to retrict access to the smtp port of your external mail server to trusted hosts.
    Cheers,

  • Question about Time Capsule and Spotlight

    I have a simple question about using Time Capsule and Spotlight. Is everything that goes on to Time Capsule indexed into Spotlight? It would appear so but when I search for something (that is still on my hard drive and also backed up to Spotlight) only the local copy appears. Would it be that it finds the closest copy and if that were not there it would point to the Time Capsule copy? Thanks in advance for clarifying this for me.

    The automatic setup in the airport utility has changed something.
    Is the line down to the TC from the express dotted.. in other words is wireless??
    Funny stuff happens.
    Please post the screenshots of the 3 pages from the airport utility setup for both airport express and TC..
    Make sure wireless is set to off in the express.
    Both should be set to dhcp on the internet tab and both set to off bridge mode on the network tab.
    So for example the bridge on the network tab.
    The summary page can also be a help.
    There is a half summary page when you click the item in the airport utility.
    There is also a fully summary page, when you hold option key and double click the TC icon for example.

  • General question about iTunes Match and multiple libraries

    Hello to everyone,
    I have a general question about the iTunes Match service, which is available since yesterday in my country (Italy). Currently my library situation is the following:
    Computer A (desktop, Windows 7): "big" iTunes library (about 20 GB), at the moment not associated with my Apple ID
    Computer B (MacBook Air 2011): "small" iTunes library (about 5 GB), associated with my Apple ID
    At the moment, both my iOS devices (iPhone 4 and iPad 2) are synchronized with the smaller library on the MacBook Air.
    Question is as follows: should I subscribe to iTunes Match, would it be possible to upload the "big" library (provided I associate it with my Apple ID) to iCloud while keeping my devices synchronized with the "small" one?
    Ideally, at the end of the day, the situation should be the following: both iOS devices with music from the small library + possibility of downloading songs from iCloud (coming from the big one). Is this possible?
    Maybe the question sounds stupid, but I want to be sure about this before paying for the service.
    Thanks a lot.

    Yes, you could also associate your larger library with iTunes match if you associated your Apple ID with it. However any purchases in the library made from another Apple ID will not be matched with iTunes much.
    If both libraries are part of iTunes match, then all your devices will see all of the content from both libraries, which content you choose to have on those devices and which you have accessible via iTunes match is entirely up to you.

  • Question about Id3-tags and song managem

    Hello, I am getting ready to buy a Zen Touch 20GB in a couple of weeks and I have a few questions about the management software.
    (Correct me if I am wrong about something)
    ) Are songs organized into groups by Genre instead of just folders like on the Ipod?
    2) Are Id3-tags used instead of filename for identification?
    3) What parts of the tag are needed besides title and artist?
    4) Which version of tags does the Zen Touch recognize: Version or Version 2?
    5) If I edit my tags using an external program such as Id3-TagIT, will the tags carry over to the Creative software and to the player?
    Thanks a lot for your help. I want to make sure I have my music collection in order before I get my Zen Touch.

    euph_jay wrote:Ok, so lets say I have all my music in folders right now seperated into different categories on my hard dri've. Some folders denote the artist, some the album, and some a genre. Example: Folder: Chicago Contents: Chicago .mp3 files Folder: Techno Contents: various Techno artist's songs What is the best way of organizing my folder system, so that the transition will be easy to the player?
    Folders are pretty much irrelevant. What the software will do is look at the *tags* in the files and then use these to build the player's library.
    Will imbedded folders work on the player? (like Techno->Crystal Method->Cystal Method .mp3's)
    Again the player has no concept of folders, although if you set Techno as a Genre tag you will be able to view via this in the Music Library.
    Or, am I misunderstanding how music is stored into the mp3 player. Instead of storing music in a "folder like" system (like the Chicago folder or Techno folder), does it store all the songs individually on the device? Then you have to sort it by artist, album, or genre?
    Using your example, in the Music Library you have essentially three categories: Album, Artist, and Genre. So under Album you would see "Vegas" (the Crystal Method's album), under Artist you would see "The Crystal Method", and under Genre you would see "Techno" (and then either the album or artist under this... I forget which it is offhand).
    Make sense?
