READ THIS If you're suffering freezing issues to your SL series ThinkPad

I've owned a ThinkPad SL510 since 2009, been rather happy until I installed the Windows 7 Professional upgrade disc onto it.
After using Word 2007 on it for a while, it hanged completely. BIOS and swapping the RAM around fixed it temporarily but it came back after a month.
Turns out that it's the registry that's very messy. I installed CCleaner and ran it a few times on the registry cleaner, it got rid of a lot of invalid registries. Before this I installed WIndows 7 Ultimate, fresh copy with nothing Lenovo related and I had no issues whatsoever.
Buggy Windows preinstalls are the culprits but the solution is just simple.
When you've reinstalled your OS that came with the laptop, please download and run CCleaner and run it a few times on the registry cleaner till the registry errors list are empty. I have had no issue since I ran it. Believe me it'll stop you from stressing out from the freeze ups and you wouldn't have to send it in for repairs for no reason!
Owner of: ThinkPad SL510, X131e, X230 (not fond of)
Other systems: MSI GT640, Sony Vaio PCG 709K, Dell Latitude D430,

So my touchpad wasn't working and I have an HP dv6-6135dx. It started being messed up shortly after I took my PC apart to upgrade the screen. Sometimes it worked perfectly, sometimes it was completely unresponsive, sometimes the ring around the touchpad was lit, other times it wasn't etc.... It got worse and worse to the point where the touch pad almost never worked.
I followed this guide, and it didn't fix the problem; however, this got me thinking, and I pulled the keyboard out and reseated the touchpad cable where it connects right under there. BAM works perfectly. THANK YOU so much for this post, for some reason I didn't think to reseat the cable... I must have not plugged it back in completely when I took my laptop apart. You can find the service manual for the dv6t here Its in the first post

If you can no longer hear callers, cannot hear your voicemail, and are tearing your hair out trying to get any help from the obvious sources (your service provider, Nokia, your local store) - do not panic.
Call 121, as if you are making a vm call. While it is connecting, adjust the volume control button on the right of the phone. You will find that this volume control button operates on a 1-10 scale and is completely different from the one that is normally adjustable from the main screen, which operates on a 1-30 scale. Hopefully you will start to hear the recorded voice and all will be well.
This is not mentioned anywhere in the handbook or any of the online resources. I eventually found a clue via a different help site - but couldn't find where the 2nd volume control was. Thank goodness I eventually stumbled upon it by accident.
I know I am not the only one to have lost connection with a caller half-way through a conversation. It must be a design fault of some sort. I am just relieved that I did not follow the Nokia diagnostics advice to reset my phone to factory settings (after backing up etc etc), or pay out vast ££s for the privilege of sending off my phone for a non-existent repair.
I am not techy - but I am posting this in the hope that it will save others the frustration, expense and time I have wasted over the past 3 days trying to get any sense out of Vodafone and Nokia. (I am sorry if that breaches some form of discussion board protocol - but it is a fact.)
If anyone from Nokia is reading this will you PLEASE update your handbooks to include this information, and take account of it within your online diagnostics page, which told me to restore factory settings. (Fortunately I have no idea how to backup data on my phone, and the advice didn't tell me either.)
If anyone from Vodafone is reading this, will you PLEASE train your sales staff and helpdesk staff to understand this problem.
Feeling calmer now ... off to make a large mug of coffee.

This is normal an also the same with other phone brands and OS. Even on android and IOS the call volume is different from the general volume of the phone. If you have a non-lumia nokia phone, it is also the same.

CMSS can cause for weird results. Please read this if you have surround issues

I'm a musician who frequently uses the Audio creation mode because this is the environment most optimal for creating music. For some time now, I've facing a certain problem where today, I finally found the solution about.
my problem
The problem I was having, is that some applications (they're optimised for stereo) played sound on my center speaker differently than those who use the windows 7 drivers. What happened in a nutshell, is that when I play sound in flash, the center speaker volume is about 3 times as loud as all the other speakers. Although this gives a nice and clear sound for presentations, this can be a pain when you want to listen to music.
my setup
For me, this is a bit awkward, because I have a big room where my speakers are positioned for my TV. My computer is next to my tv, but my center speaker is not in front of my pc monitor, but rather in front of my tv. Due to this, the right ear gets way more sound than my left one. Strangely enough, it weren't all the applications that had trouble with this. My music player plays everything equally throughout my speakers.
the mixer
The creative mixer (startup console) has several ways of tweaking this. Like assigning what channels to play if sound gets played through L/R, and their individual volume bars. You can guess it maybe. Changing these settings affected both applications differently. I could use the sliders to fix one, and then mess up the other. So when I went through all my settings I couldn't find what causes this.
CMSS is the fault here
I went reading this forum, and came to this post: http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/How-to-enable-sound-for-my-center-rear-and-side-speakers-using/td-p/52 What gives, this option is not available when you are in Audiocreation mode. So it shouldn't affect my sound right? WRONG!
the problem
Even though you can't tweak the settings during audio creation mode, the settings are still in affect. So you have to switch to entertainment mode to access the CMSS-3D. I went there, and I had stereo enhancing surround enabled. When I changed that, it solved my problem. Since during audio creation, I mainly use stereo applications, I do not need surround enhancement.
my setup now
I turned it off, and as suspected, windows only parses sound to the left and right, not the other channels, even in audio creation mode. In the mixer, I have enabled output to all 7 channels I have for L/R output, and now the sound gets balanced to all my speakers. True, I get stereo sound over all the speakers, but when I want to use surround, I switch to the entertainment mode anyway.
Could a mod sticky this? I think its worth to have this stickied.

Read This BEFORE you update to iWeb '08

iWeb '08 introduces a lot of features that we've all been waiting for but, before you jump right in there, you should realize a lot of people are losing their original websites.
When you first launch iWeb '08 and upload an existing website it converts your domain.sites file to domain.sites2 file. Due to bugs in this software release, these converted files seem to be corrupted in various ways.
Once your domain.sites file has been converted there is no way back.
You MUST back them up.
If you want to continue working on your old sites you will have to retain your copy of iWeb '06. When you update to iWeb '08 your original application is replaced so, if you have not run the update, move your old iWeb application out of the "Applications" folder.
If you have already uploaded the new version and still have your iLife '06 disk then you are OK as long as you have made a "safe" backup of your original domain.sites file(s).

iWeb '08 Calamity: Lost site content, crashes, significantly increased resource usage, more
Backup your Domain files Make a copy of this file -- located in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain -- before attempting to update to or use iWeb '08. The program is causing serious issues for a number of readers (as discussed below), and may delete or make inoperable parts of your stored Web site(s). Saving this file can mean the difference between losing or maintaining your current site data.
Missing site elements including photo galleries The most dire issue users are experiencing after updating to iWeb '08 is the sudden disappearance of various site elements, particularly photo galleries. Many users have reported that entire swaths of their sites are completely missing after launching the update and attempting to work with their pre-existing site(s) file.
Crashes A surprisingly high number of users are reporting repeated crashes after updating to iWeb '08.
Ironically, it appears that many of the crashes can be resolved by removing the file ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain. In essence, it looks like iWeb '08 is choking on the sites file created by older versions of iWeb. So move this file to a separate location, and try launching iWeb '08 again.
Increased resource usage/slowness Users are reporting that the new version of iWeb uses significantly more memory and processor time than its predecessor.

Dont read this if you dont want to make money

MAKE LOTS OF MONEY QUICKLY, GUARANTEED 100%, NO SCAM!
Turn 6.00 into 42,000! This is true!!.... Read this carefully to find out how!!....
READING THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing
through newsgroups, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands
of cash within weeks with only an initial investment of .00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this<br />
must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading.
Before you get skeptical, just take a few minutes to finish reading.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS
WITH THIS PLAN, YOU REALLY CAN MAKE TONS OF TOTALLY LEGAL, FAST AND EASY CASH MONEY!! IT WORKS!!!
BUT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW IT CAREFULLY FOR IT TO WORK CORRECTLY AND IN YOUR FAVOR!!!! WITH ALL
THE MONEY YOU ARE GONNA MAKE, YOU WILL SOON GET EVERYTHING YOU'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF!!!!
ALL YOU DO IS...
All you do is send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then
place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at
least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands.) No catch, that was it . So after thinking it over,
and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured, what have I got to
lose except 6 stamps and 6.00, right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little
worried about the legal aspects of it
all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that
it is indeed legal!
AND THEN GUESS WHAT...
Then I invested the measly 6.00. Well, GUESS WHAT!!... Within 7 days, I started getting money
just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about 25. By the end of the second week I had
made a total of over 1,000! In the third week I had over 10,000 and it's still growing. This
is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over 42000, and it's still coming in
rapidly. It's certainly worth 6. and 6 stamps. By the way, I have spent more than that on the
lottery in the last month!! Let me tell
you how this works and most importantly, why it works.... also, make sure you print a copy of
this article NOW, So you can get the information off of it, as you need it.
SO LET'S GET STARTED AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS
STEP 1:
Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on eash piece of paper, "PLEASE PUT MY<br />
NAME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Also, be sure to include your name and address. Now, get 6 U.S.
$1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen
through the envelope, to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes
and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the
above phrase, your name and address email
, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
STEP 2 :
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1 Randall Hines 22 Stature Dr. Newark DE 19713
#2 Mike Sharrer 921 West State St. Coopersburg PA 18036
#3 Travis Montgomery 2211 Elmers Lane Norfolk NE 68701
#4 James Adair the third 22 Over Rd. Feasterville PA 19053
#5 Michael Lescault 123 Rhode Island Ave. Pawtucket, RI. 02860
#6 Michael Hendrock 106 S.academy St. Lodi, Ohio 44254
STEP 3:
Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5,
5 becomes 4, etc.) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 4:
Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible.
If you do not live in the U.S. or there is a foreign address, you must put an international
stamp on your envelopes. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. ( I think
there are close to 24,000 groups in all.) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post,
the more money you make!!
DIRECTIONS FOR POSTING TO NEWSGROUP BULLETINS
STEP 1: You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put you
cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this letter. Then
select 'copy' from the edit menu.
This will copy the entire letter into the computer's temporary memory.
STEP 2: Open a blank 'notepad' or word processor file and place your cursor at the top of the
blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into
notepad so that you can add your name to the list.
STEP 3: Save your new notepad file as a *.txt file. If you want to do your postings in different
sittings, you'll always have this file to fo back to.
STEP 4: Use your Internet provider and search engines to find various newsgroups (on-line forums,
message boards, chat sites, discussions).
STEP 5: Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by higlighting the
text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, and this will
be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular
group. Then click the post message button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations...
THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the
hang of it, it will only take about 30 seconds for each posting!!
** REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! ----BUT YOU HAVE
TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**----- That's it!
You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to
rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous,
you can invent a name to use , as long as the postal service will deliver it.
JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT
WITH 200 POSTINGS
Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies ( a very low example). So then I made 5.00
with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the
MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5, and only 5 persons repond to each of the original
5, that is another 25. Then those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4, and only
5 relies to each, and I will bring in an additional125! Now, those 125 persons turn around
and post the MINIMUM 200 with my
name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, and I will make an additional 625! OK, now here
is the fun part... Each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2,
and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me 3125!!! Those 3,125 persons will all
deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1, and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups
react, I will receive an amazing 15625!
With an original investment of only 6! AMAZING!
DO IT OVER AND OVER
When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups,
and send out another 6 to names on the list, putting your name at #6 again. Then start posting
again. That's it! Do you realize that thousands of honest people just like you all over the
world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everday? So can you afford 6 and
see if it really works?? I think so..
People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money?" So what!
What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users who are joining
the Internet and newsgroups everyday? So, are you willing to give it a try? Estimates are about
20,000 to 50,000 new bulletin board users everyday, with thousands of those joining the Internet
itself. ---Remember please play FAIRLY! This ensures a huge circle of wealth that grows with
the Internet audience!!! Everyone
benefits!!! Remember To Send The Six Envelopes To The Above Addresses, In Order To Create The
Legal Service. At first I was scared to try this, but once I research it, I found that it is
totally legal. When you send the six envelopes out, you create a service, a legal service.
The Internet audience is expanding all the time. The audience is like an equity stock on the
stock market, continuously going up. If you still think this is a fraud, take a few minutes
to check it out, then.... you can start
raking in the
cash!!
THIS CAN WORK IF WE ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER!!!!

What a pile of dreck !
ROTFLMAO
... to have so little to do, and so much time to do it in ...
that you crawl the web to paste such as this here,
and expect that anyone will actually believe you.
It violates the Terms of Use and the Code of Conduct that you agreed to when you registered.

Please Read This if You Need Help Setting Up Email...

Hi Everyone!
If you are hoping to use your Nokia phone for send and receiving emails you will need to set this up prior to use.
You may find that your phone has already been setup to send and receive emails by your network. This will be for the email address that has been provided to you by your network. If you would like to set up your phone for another email account, like your private or work email account, this will need to be set up by you.
The easiest way to do this is to order the settings from our site. You can do this from this link: Nokia Settings Page Here you can order all the settings you might need, to get your email settings click on Order Advance Settings and choose email when prompted.
Dont worry if you can't see your email provider in that list, if you have Nokia PC Suite installed you can connect your phone to your PC and configure your email account with some software.
If you have a 9500, 9300 or 9300i communicator you can go here: Nokia Configuartion Tool
If you have 3220, 6230i, 8800, 6810, 6820 or 6822 you can go here: Nokia Email Configuration Tool
If you have a series 60 phone like a 6680 or 7610 etc you can install the Settings Wizard from here: Nokia Settings Wizard. This application will attempt to configure your email settings for you. You will need a working installation of PC Suite to install this from your PC. If you are able to get the installation file on to your phone you will be able to install from there.
If your phone has not been listed in any of the above points, then unfortunately you will need to configure the phone manually. If you need to do this you will have to find out some basic information first:
Your incoming server address
Your outgoing server address
Do you require a secure incoming/outgoing connection?
Do you need SSL?
Your email provider will be able to provide all this information, if you get stuck during the setup on what you should be entering for a setting, your email provider will be able to help you out.
Hope this is enough to help some of you out, any comments are welcome - just send me a PM.
Cheers
Karim

Road Runner is a pain at times to get to work on both Wi-Fi and EDGE. It seems as if their outgoing mail server doesn't like to roam. CWMX is ONLY for use on the cellular network, and if you plan on using Wi-Fi to send e-mails periodically, CWMX will NOT work.
My solution: Sign up for a GMAIL account, and forward your e-mails to the GMAIL account (provided POP access is enabled). Just log-in to this GMAIL account with your iPhone, and you'll get all your e-mails! If you need any help, let me know, I'll be glad to get you some directions.

Read this if you need a security code (Sticky)

Hi Everyone!
I have seen a few posts asking "What is my security code?". So I thought I would make this post. Basically most Nokia phones all use the same security code by default, this is 12345. All phones are set with this code from the factory and will stay using 12345 until it is changed.
If you have changed your security code from 12345 then you would normally need to take your phone into a Nokia Service Point. Here an authorised engineer would reset the code back to its default of 12345. You can find your nearest Nokia Service Point on this page:
www.nokia.com/repair
Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done other than visit an engineer if you forget the security code , they will need to reset the code to the factory default for you.

There have been some reported cases where operators have changed security codes on some phones.
In these cases, the security code will be shown on the product information label on the box, usually close to the IMEI number. This number is not always marked as a security code.
If your phone was provided to you by your network operator, will not accept the code 12345, and you are certain that you have not changed it, then it is worth checking the product information label on the box before you go for the Care Point option, just in case.Message Edited by michaels on 29-Nov-2007 10:02 PM

Come on micheals There is no need to be an engineer to do that! For Nokia 301 Press "Menu" button. Then select "Settings". Scroll until "Security" and press on it. Finally select "Access codes".
Now select "Change secur. code". Answer "Yes" and you can change your default security code (12345) with another one (mine is 54321 ...)
Hope it helps.

READ THIS IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH ALBUMS ON YOUR iPOD

Alright, here is how you get album art work onto your iPod. If you bought the song on iTunes, you will already have the artwork there. If you imported the song/CD chances are the artwork won't show up. If ANY album artwork shows up on iTunes, but not your iPod what you need to do is(this is how I got my artwork): 1. Open iTunes, your internet service and your computers photo editor program; 2. Type in the name of the artist, THEN the album on Google Image Search; 3. Once you find the right album art work,(THIS IS IMPORTANT) SAVE IT TO A PICTURE FILE THAT WILL BE UPLOADED TO YOUR iPOD; 4. after saving the file, restore down iTunes and the photo editor program;5.1. In iTunes, in the bottom left corner, there are four bars. Click the far right one. If there is no albumartwork, it will say "Drag Album Artwork Here."5.2. In your photo editor aplication, click open.find the picture of the album AND DRAG IT INTO THE WINDOW FOR ARTWORK IN iTUNES; 6. Once your iPod has updated, double check it and the artwork should be there

Good lord, Man! That's the long way around the block.
Highlight all the songs in the album. Right-click and select GET INFO.
Click on the album art in your web browser and drag it to the little box for Album Art in the Get Info dialog.
On rare occations I find Drag and Drop doesn't want to work - right click on the image in your web browser and select COPY - the PASTE in to the box in the GET INFO dialog.

On my mac, when I try to import certain music CDs (not all) I get this message "You dont have write access for your iTunes media folder or a folder within it. To change permissions, select your iTunes media folder in the finder, and chose file get info"

I am not sure how to fix this and it is driving me crazy can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hi folks,
I've had this issue for a year now and I've read this and several similar articles on how to change permissions for you iTunes Media folder and all that enclosed stuff.
Well today, I got brave and dove into this issue once again and to my surprise I have it remedied.
Before I kept going to my side bar folder 'Music', then located the iTunes Media folder ( I have several libraries).
This time, I went from (your mac)HD, directly to the 'Library', scrolled to 'iTunes' and reworked my permissions there by creating a new user... (ME). While at it, I adjusted 'Administrator from and back to, 'read and write', gave myself, 'read and write' and left other users as 'read only.'
I then applied to all enclosed folders with the 'gear wheel,' locked the whole shabang up and proceeded to install several old CD's which refused to import in the past.
RECAP:
HD/Library/iTunes set permissions for YOU to 'read and write,' then apply to all enclosed folders.
BTW: those enclosed folders are likely to be all the albums you've collected previously.
Perhaps, the 'iTunes Media folder' description from previous instructions kept people looking in the wrong place.
In any case, I'm up and running and I hope you will be too.
Thanks,
PS

Read this if you have the Looping Audio issue...

I was having this problem and it was driving me nuts. It would do it randomly everytime I used iTunes. I searched around the web but could not find anything related to this issue except for these forums.
What fixed it for me -
Go into your Sound preferences and look at the Output tab. Is the balance centered? Mine wasn't. It was moved a few notches to the left. This problem has been occuring for quite awhile where the balance will move by itself! I moved it to the center and have NOT had a single problem with the looping audio anymore.
Try it! Let me know if it works! =)

I had same problem not with XP but with Windows 7 beta. I posted online and a lot of people said Realtek this and Realtek that, it didn't work for me. I finally tried installing Bootcamp 2.1 and voila it worked. While it was installing drivers, I noticed bootcamp saying "Removing Realtek audio ... " then "Installing SigmaTel audio ... " few seconds later i started hearing all the bells and whistles of Windows 7. Woohoo!
I guess Realtek works for some people with various configurations but for me it was Siggy.

This worked great, but unfortunately this helpful hint could not be found on the Apple support forum ... until now
Hope this helps!

This worked for me too! (iPhone 3G 2.02). Apple's once-over-lightly help with this issue is really lame. I thought better of Apple but they are turning into just another Dell or Microsoft.

HP pavilion dv6 touchpad stopped working (read this if you have dropped your computer)!

Hello, this is not a question it is advice for people having touchpad issues with their dv6 (I've noticed a quite a few posts). My touchpad suddenly completely stopped working one day (didn't respond to anything that I did).
Most of the forums I've been to (actually, all of them... and they were many) ask you to try reinstalling the driver. However, if you did not recently uprage your OS or make any such major changes this is not likely to be the issue.
Try going to device manager. If your touchpad is not showing up under the mouse and pointer devices section (it should say Synaptics something or other) then it means that either something is broken OR your touchpad came unseeded.
For me, it was the second option (I drop my laptop... occasionally). The cable for the touchpad is held in place by a little plastic lever-like clamp. It can easily become loose, so try this out before taking your computer into a repair shop (and loosing it for weeks, not to mention the price if you're not under warranty!)
Three easy steps:
1) take the removable bottom cover off (that little plastic bit in the center where your hard drive is). For my model (6145dx), it just snaps off (with a flathead screw driver or other tool for leverage). You might have to unsrew a few things, but it should be easy.
2) Take out the hard drive (held in place by 4 screws in most cases). You do not need to disconnect the cables leading to the hard drive! Just pull it out and lay it off to the side.
3) Toward the very front of your computer (right under where your hard drive was, and where the touchpad is on the top cover) you will see the ribbon cables coming from your keyboard, touchpad, etc. Give them a little wiggle (just pull the plastic tabs that stick up. If one of them moves, then you need to re-clamp it! Push the cable all the way in and push down the lever.
Super easy! Should solve all your problems!

So my touchpad wasn't working and I have an HP dv6-6135dx. It started being messed up shortly after I took my PC apart to upgrade the screen. Sometimes it worked perfectly, sometimes it was completely unresponsive, sometimes the ring around the touchpad was lit, other times it wasn't etc.... It got worse and worse to the point where the touch pad almost never worked.
I followed this guide, and it didn't fix the problem; however, this got me thinking, and I pulled the keyboard out and reseated the touchpad cable where it connects right under there. BAM works perfectly. THANK YOU so much for this post, for some reason I didn't think to reseat the cable... I must have not plugged it back in completely when I took my laptop apart. You can find the service manual for the dv6t here Its in the first post

Read this if you are thinking of ordering infinity...

Ordered infinity on 1st of June, had my conformation email after ordering stating that i would have a engineer come and do some work. asking me to be at home 8 Am till 1 PM (even though i ticked the box that said you don't have to be there for this visit as it will be external work). 13th came and no visit. OK i thought no problem as its external work no drama (lost a days pay though).
2 days later bt emailed me saying" sorry we missed you, your new appointment for the engineer will be the 18th also asking me to be at home for this visit 8AM till 1PM, Bt never turned up for this one aswell, No phone call email or text message to say why they have not turned up.( another days pay lost) so i rang bt 0800 800 150... 45 minutes later and 2 bt employees from India that could not help, they put me through to bt infinity division in England. Sharon apologised for the 2 visits that was missed but could not understand why. Sharon put me on hold so she could ring the engineers, 15 minutes later i was told that they would not be coming out today (18th) and she would put a message in there departments diary for some one to ring me on the 19th to explained why and put me on the high priority list.
7.30 pm on the 19th No phone call!!!!! so i rang again 0800 800 150. 20 minutes later and 1 lady from India i got through to the infinity diversion again and asked why no ones have rang me like i was told and promised (Sharon words not mine). Vicky from bt infinity could not believe what had happened to me and was shocked, my activation date is on the 25th and Vicky told me that i should not have had the 2 visits from the engineers until the activation date was completed ( ok £200 notes down the drain for taking 2 days off for no reason) she promised me that some one would ring me tomorrow 21st i told her i have already been feed that line yesterday but she promised they would.
guess what happened...... no phone call....... so after me ringing bt at 7.30pm tonight and finding that the department was closed via a pre recorded message (8pm is the time they close i checked) i tried one more time and got though to a lady that did not have a clue even after reading the notes on the system. she tried to ring the engineers department but got no answer. WHAT A F... JOKE...
I have never had such bad and disorganised customer sevice in my life ( i work in Customer Service myself)
I will be ringing bt back tomorrow in the afternoon to find out if there is anyone that can really help me find out what is happening to my order.
ps. to top it all off my home hub and welcome pack was due today 21st. that did not arrive and i have tracked it. its in isle of man rang the post office and they said it had been sent there by mistake (i live in Chester) now i am worried that if everything goes ahead on the 25th i will not have the home hub in time to start using infinity lol
if you are thinking of ordering infinity good luck you are going to need it after my experience

I feel your pain Bro, had a lot of hassle when I first got infinity, and lately had a bit of hassle before and during the upgrade. There is a serious communication error between various departments at BT and this is something they need to sort out. In my opinion it has lost them a great deal of custom and a great deal of money. As I am from N. Ireland I ended up having to get in touch with my local office in Belfast to sort the problem out and they did it flawlessly without any messing about.
1. Had engineer out regarding slow speed and I suspected it was a Retail server problem, engineer told me full speed was coming into the premises and reported this back to BT and Openreach.
2. BT said there was no problem with the server, sent another engineer, same thing...etc etc...Reported back to Openreach.
3. Openreach said there WAS a problem and that they have now fixed it, guess what...not fixed.
4. Another engineer call out, same thing.
5. This went on and on for 3 weeks
Ended up doing this:
1. a. Contacted local crew in Belfast.
2. a. got a call back the next morning and was told they will not be sending anymore engineers.
3. a. Line fixed within 2 hours of the call, and yes, you guessed it. Server problem all along.
BT needs to stop automatically blaming a lot of the faults on the end user and instead listen to the customer or they would have had this job fixed that same day. Instead they wasted money sending loads of engineers which could have been available for other installations etc.
