Reception quality issues

Wife had a Droid 1 and I have a Droid X. She upgraded to the Nexus. She gets 0 to 1 bars of signal on the 4G Network sitting next to me while I have 2 to 4 bars of signal at the same time. She is hitting spots out where she will get 0 signal.

This has been a big issue where some tech sites have done studies on it if you will.
Basically, the condensed version is that the Galaxy Nexus is reporting the correct LTE strength, whereas the Droid is reporting the EV-DO/1X signal strength.
Verizon said they will "fix" this in an upcoming update. Though I have noticed the same "problem" in the sense that my LTE drops out way earlier than it should.

Anyone else feel as sad as I do? Left out of the reception/proximity issues

I hope of the 1.7 million phones sold, someone else loves and enjoys there iPhone 4 as much as I do or am I completely alone?
I waited on-line the average 14 or so hours to finally get my phone. The experience was incredible, I met a load of new friends and really had a good time. I did get up @ 4am on pre-order day and expecting massive overload, just patiently waited and was able to reserve my phone for pickup, but again, from the noise and complaints, I assume I was the only one in the country who was just THAT lucky and followed the very simple directions. It took me about 1 1/2 hours, but again, I completely expected it, no surprise.
I've always keep a case on my phones, they really do get quite a bit of abuse, so I bought the bumper the day I got my phone. Then the fun began! I was 100% content with my phone, it did everything it was supposed to and then some! The retina display had to be seen to be appreciated and the speed and multitasking is great.
But then, the sadness started... People were screaming that if you hold it just a certain way, your bars go down. Well I wanted to be part of the group, but try as I can, nope, nothing. And I asked everyone else that was lucky enough to have one, nope no-one. Hummmm. Then I see a law suit! Dang, can I be part of it? Please? I always wanted to be part of a class action for ummm a phone who's bar's drop when you hold it jussssttttt right. I mean if THAT's not a reason to tie our legal system up for years in pointless nonsense, I just don't know what would be. It's not like you could return the phone if you have a problem with it, right? I knew once I bought it, I have NO choice but to keep it for at least 2 years. I've read many other posts in this discussion area and why else would so many people bitterly complain and not just return the phone? It really makes no sense. If I was unhappy with a product, boom, see ya!
Then I was hoping I could be part of the proximity sensor issues, dang, NO again!!! And I bet thats also important enough to have a class action and I won't be apart of that either.
O'Well, I guess I can just sit here sadly using my perfect iPhone. Ummmm, sometimes when I hang up, it takes an extra second to show me the screen, perhaps a class action?

I on the other hand is left out because my gf took my iPhone 4 away from me! Because she said I was obsessed with it and forgot about her, LOL. Yeah I was not only obsessed about the nice retina display and A4 processor but also the reception and voice quality issues.
I got the phone on the 23rd of July and was sadden by the antenna.....the Bluetooth..... then the speaker phone.... and finally the proximity sensor.
I live in an area with a weak 3G signal where I experience SEARCHING... when I hold my phone to try to make a call..... call failed..... That's the first call right out of the box on 23rd of July. My 3GS and other phones do not experience anything similar.
I thought I could use a Bluetooth headset to solve the antenna issue. Then people started complaining about hearing my muffled voice. It happened all the time when people called me and complained that they couldn't hear me. So I had to switch to the speakerphone. Unfortunately, the speakerphone voice quality was not good either. People told me that I sounded muffled, choppy, and distorted. I then finally used my hand holding the iPhone 4 in the "right way" and started talking using the ear piece and the noise cancelling microphone. Too bad the proximity sensor was acting weird. It happened when I slightly tilted the phone and everytime when the phone was not in contact with the tip of my ear, the screen turned ON. With me not noticing the screen turned phone, my ear swiped across the screen and hung up my call.
You guys are happy with your iPhone 4 because you are living in a strong signal area, or you may never or seldom use the other features. However, not using other features doesn't mean your iPhone 4 is perfect. Try and go to an area with slightly weaker signal running at 1900 MHz frequency band and take off your bumpers. Use a Bluetooth headset regardless of any type of brand and ask people to call you. If they can't hear you, then use speaker phone, when they still can't hear you, then go back to your "PERFECT" position, using the earpiece.
But that still doesn't guarantee you have a perfect iPhone 4, because you may not experience the problem at the right situation.

HP Officejet Pro L7590 - print quality issue

We've had a lot of problems with this unit since day one. It simply wouldn't work with our XP computers. Thankfully it does work with our new Windows 7 computer.
The problem I'm having is that I have to clean the printheads at least once, if not twice, before every print job if it hasn't printed anything recently (even an hour or two).
Although we've had the printer for a while, it has hardly been used because it wouldn't work with our previous computers (and I gave up trading emails with HP support because the situation just got worse each time we tried something, not better). The myPrintMileage function says we've printed just over 300 pages (and I can pretty much guarantee that at least 250 of those have been diagnostic pages trying to get it working, not actual print jobs).
The only advice I can find on the troubleshooting page is to replace the printhead/s. Is that really the case? We have already had to replace ink cartridges before we ever got the printer working. If we now have to replace one or both printheads this machine is proving very costly to run. I would be very disappointed to find we had had to replace all four ink cartridges and both printheads before we ever got the machine working properly.
I'd appreciate any feedback you can offer on this please.

SAP ERP Quality Issue: Notification Creation Problem

Hello,
I'm testing the SAP mobile app ERP Quality Issue.
I've done the needed customizing in backend.
If I try to create a notification from the mobile app I've got this message:

Iphone 6 call quality issue....

Hi, yesterday i saw software update in my iphone 6 and i thought it will solve the call quality issue , but unfortunately it was not for that.
Dear iphone support , the call quality in iphone 6 is really bad, I was using iphone 4S and that had great voice quality. iphone 6 voice during call is not clear , it has noise .
When I told my friends about the problem , they told me that I might have bought the refurbish phone. But I bought it from Dubai in 750 USD and I do not think it would be the case.

Since my iPhone 6 has great Call Quality,
My tip would be to take it to an Apple shop. All apple Products have world wide warranty.
If it is really they should be able to fix it.
Hope this helps,

Print quality issues

Hello
We are having print quality issue when printing PDF's to our Canon iR C2880/C3380 UFR II. This was the most recent print driver from canons website which was download about 6 weeks ago. version 2.9. At one time we were having other pring quality issues and we changed from the post script driver to the ufr ii which solved the problem at the time.
This past saturday we upgrade the operating systems on the systems in question and they are now running windows 7 64 bit with service pack 1 installed. image 1 is the orignal pdf that was printed with a 3rd party pdf printer(PDF Xchange view version 2.5) image 2 is the same document that was printed using acrobat reader 10.1.2
the options for the print were pretty much identical between the program. Print as image was not selected. 1 thing to note with the acrobat when print as image was selected there was a slight improvement in the print quality.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hi, nd a warm welcome to the forums!
Off the bat, it looks like maybe bad RAM/ROM in the Printer, or corrupt Font.
Can you have another Computer jook to it and print for a test?
Can you try Printing from Adobe Reader...

Has Apple addressed poor sound quality issues with new 160GB iPod classic?

I just bought a new 160GB iPod classic, replacing a perfectly good 80GB iPod Video (5.5), thinking that the newer one would be superior to my 3 year old model. I discovered that the sound of the new unit was flat and muddy compared to the older model. I found that the 5th gen iPod video was more "spacial", if that's an appropriate word to use; the bass was more present and more clearly defined, as was the rest of the sonic spectrum. I searched several forums to research this issue and while there were numerous references to this issue, all of the posts I found referred to the original iPod classics (80GB and 160GB) and not the later 120GB classics nor the new 160GB classics like the one I bought. Has Apple done anything to address this issue since the first classics were released or are the new ones still suffering from the same sound quality issues as the original classics?

Based on your observations here, they apparently have not changed the sound quality since the original 160GB classic. I noticed a clear narrowing of the sound stage (ambiance) between the 5.5G 80Gb and my 6G 160GB. You're describing the same characteristic. I don't own the newest 160GB version and came here today to see if it might have improved the sound quality back to the 5.5 spaciousness. Note that the 5.5G has a higher signal to noise ratio than the 6G, making it difficult for me to enjoy it through efficient balanced armature in ear monitors like the Shure SE530s or Ulimate Ears Triple.Fi 10s.

Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn Print Quality Issues

Good Afternoon,
I have a Hp Color Laser Jet 5550dn that has some print quality issue. I've attached a black and white scan, but the color is a light blue to blue that form the blotches. On the back of the page there are blue and pink streaks.
I can print more sample pages or print them in color, but anyone have any idea what could be going on here?

We are encountering a similar problem. The streaking is coming fromt the Cyan cartridge and has continued for over a year now, despite numerous cartridge changes and replacing the transfrer case. It is progressively getting worse and I have yet to find a solution to this problem online. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Did Apple fix the video quality issue in iMovie '09?

I am a casual video editor and iMovie 08 had the perfect user experience / functionality for what I want to do.
However, the known video quality issue (throwing away interlaced scan lines) made the result unacceptable since I archive our family video on DVDs. I have been forced to use iMovie HD for that reason. I have tried tricks such as converting the original DV files to AIF and deinterlace prior to import into iMovie08 but that did not seem to work either.
So does anyone know if Apple fixed the video quality issue in iMovie '09.
MESSAGE TO APPLE IF YOU ARE LISTENING:
Please fix the video quality in iMovie09 if not already. Yes, the quality is ok for YouTube or Internet video but for those of us who want simple editing to archive our family video we cannot accept poor video quality. Dropping an interlace field effectively halves the vertical resolution. Thank you.

Please explain this in more detail when you say Adaptive Deinterlacer. Are you talking about another program? If so, what program and what are the specific steps.
Also, sounds like you are recommending imovie09. By saying to do the above, are you saying imovie09 still causes you too loose significant quality like imovie08? Are you saying you can use imovie08 or imovie09 with these steps to get high quality video or just imovie09? I guess I just need more specifics on how you do what you are describing and how imovie09 fits into this versus imovie08. I joined this whole discussion trying to figure out if upgrading imovie09 made a difference regarding the whole quality issue. I know it has more features, but I am more concerned about he quality of the video right now. Thanks.

Quality Issues

Hey -
So I have iMovie 09 and then found out it has really crappy quality issues. So I came to iMovie 06 to start working with stuff. I decided to try putting in 4 photos and sharing them with iDVD to test it out. I haven't actually burned them but the preview of iDVD and in iMovie makes the photos look a lot more crappy than they actually are. I'm able to make those photos full screen 1440x900 without really having pixelated features. Yet, iDVD when it's just taking up a minimal amount of the screen has all the pictures pixelated (along with iMovie)
I have iMovie set to the highest quality, iDVD set to professional quality, rendered all the pictures in iMovie before exporting, and have the frame rate at 30 fps.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

"rendered all the pictures in iMovie before exporting"
That's likely the problem. iMovie does a terrible job of rendering. So, if you use the share function, ignore the prompt that asks if you want iMovie to render, and instead chose to proceed anyway without rendering. iDVD then will render your photos and it does a much better job of it.
Also, the previews in iMovie and iDVD are low res. The burned project should be much sharper.
Rather than using the share function, I find it best to simply save and close the iMovie project, and then drag the iMovie icon (the one with the star on it) into the edge of the window of your iDVD project main menu, being careful not to put into a drop zone. The movie or slideshow will then import right in to iDVD.

Quality issues with VGA port on Type 2504 docking station

Hi,
I see quality issues on the VGA output of the Type 2504 docking station with a T61. The monitor image is blurred, not much, but enough to be irritating. When I compare the DVI output with the VGA output on two equal NEC MultiSync LCD 2170NX monitors it is a clear difference. If I connect the LCD monitor to the VGA output of the T61 itself, the picture is clean. I have tried both monitors with different cables in different configurations and also adjusted monitors manually, and my conclusion is that it must be the VGA output of the 2504 that generates the un-sharpness. I have got several 2504 docking stations from the IT department to test and all attempts show the same unsharp picture on the LCD connected to the VGA port of any 2504. Recently a colleague got a new laptop and docking station. He also used DVI and VGA on the old setup and had no visible difference between the two monitors. His new setup is a different T but his new dock is also a 2504. Now he has clear difference between his monitors. He also tried several 2540 docks and cables but the difference is still present.
The unsharpness is not immediately present when just looking at a dual head setup. But after a while it becomes tiresome to look at text, specially black on white, on the monitor connected to the VGA port. There is a slight shadow on the right side of all letters. When looking at non-aliased fonts, they look as if aliased on the VGA connected monitor. Already aliased fonts tend to "smear" and I have the unpleasant feeling that my eyes are not focusing correctly.
My question is: Is there a different VGA DAC on the docking station, or are the analog signals just wired through from the laptop VGA DAC? Older IBM docks do not have this problem, we have a lot of them at work in dual head configuration with DVI + VGA to compare, and we only see this problem with the 2504.

VGA is an analogue signal... so it can be affected by the quality of DAC chip used by the GPU associated electronics, the quality of connectors on the vga out and dock (that is why good analgoue audio equipment use gold plated stuffs) and the quality of copper wire and shiedling used in the cable (i.e. Low Oxygen Content Copper wire).
The above is general description for all people to use <---- so please don't feel offended if i repeat something that is already said.
There is NO conversion electronics on the dock per se, they are just passthrough, so no conversion.
I guess the problem lies with improper shielding somewhere. I have the same problem with my T61/60 and dock and my T40,41,42,43 on five different docks.
So i have ended up using lenovo usb2dvi converter on T61 and have two dvi output and bypassed the vga altogether.

Second Display Quality Issue

I have a mid-2010 iMac 27" and it works wonderfully for me. I need a second monitor to place other applications on, so I grabbed an unused Asus VN247H monitor that my son was not using. It has a 24 or so inch display and accepts HDMI and VGA inputs. I purchased an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and connected the Asus to the back of the iMac. It works, but I'm underwhelmed by the quality I get on the Asus. Yeah, I know - it isn't a top-of-the-line monitor, and it is never gonna look as good as the iMac, but it isn't a $10 el cheapo, either. It is a good monitor and has a 1ms refresh rate. Anyway, no matter what resolution I try using, the output on that second display looks, well... crappy. The text letters are a little blurry, they are a lot larger than I figured they would be, and - I don't know - it just isn't what I was expecting. One thing I notice is that in the documentation for the monitor, it shows that I should be able to go up to 1920 x 1080 but that isn't the case. When I bring up the OS X System Preferences-->Displays, on the Asus VGA part it only shows a max setting of 1600 x 1200. I tried clicking that but the monitor complains and sez it's past the capability of itself. I am supposing it's because of having VGA instead of digital??
So, I've ordered the Apple Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter in hopes that an HDMI digital connection will give me better looking display and the full compliment of resolution options. Am I out in left field on this supposition? Or, is there some other thing I've not thought about in order to get a sharp looking second display?
Thanks, Jim

Well, after four days, there have been a grand total of ZERO replies to this post / question. Either my question was lame, or no one else has run into a second monitor quality issue. At any rate, I'm answering my own posting - perhaps someone, somewhere might run into the issue and come across this information.
The answer to the question is: YES, changing to an HDMI connection between the iMac and the secondary monitor made a HUGE difference in quality. Why I went with a VGA adapter in the first place is unknown. But the HDMI connection is for sure the way to go. Colors look good, text is "almost" as good as on the iMac.
Problem solved.

Image quality issues in PS - word to PDF

Hi,
I am having major image quality issues when trying to make my word document a clean, clear PDF. Images become distorted. Borders for tables and text that are equal px size look like they are different sizes throughout the document.
I have searched the internet, read help, and tried many different things:
Word 2007 - Changed image %, image size, export options, adjusted px for borders, used different styles
Acrobat 9 Pro - Changed import settings, import options, print options, tried press quality, high quality, etc.
Photoshop CS4 - Changed ppx, file format, compression options
What can I do to get a clean, clear PDF file with the images and borders preserved?
Thank you.

In converting a MS Office file to PDF, Photoshop cannot help in any way and will likely cause more harm as it may rasterize vector data. Expect your ideal answer in the Acrobat forum.

Lync to PSTN quality Issues, no issues to be found in reports

We have a lync 2013 install recently completed however we are experiencing voice quality issues. It appears to be specifically calls between Lync clients and PSTN and additionally the issues are only heard on the PSTN side (Lync side sounds great). This
is regardless if it was a PSTN initiated or Lync initiated call.Reports of quality issues are given as "sounding watery", "Robotic", "Fading in and out", and "Momentary loss of sound". It it VERY consistent.
Our Lync to Lync calls are perfect (internally and federated), or if its not good quality it is easily diagnosed.
We are running 2 lync edge servers, two front end. currently only have 40 users. We have a 40mb internet circuit. QOS is enabled on the edge router\core switch and we have had the QOS investigated and does not appear to be the issue (I read another forum
post indicating QOS causing issues and we contracted a firm to verify QOS). We are using Intelepeer as a SIP trunk and it terminates to an Audiocodes Mediant 1000. The Mediant 1000 connects directly to the internet.
When we look at the call statistics there are no issues to be found. We have opened tickets with Intelepeer and they do not show any issues either.
I am starting to feel a bit lost as to where to look for help. Please let me know what additional info you need and I will be grateful and happy to give more info.

Assuming you are not encrypting traffic between Mediation and gateway, you can use Wireshark to capture the traffic of the “internal” leg. Later you can “decode” and listen the actual call which will be the flow Lync <-> Mediation <-> Gateway.
If the quality is good, mirror switchport and Wireshark the traffic between Gateway and IntelePeer. This way you can identify the leg that introduces the issue. Just a place to start...

Quality issues with slideshows

Hi,
I'm a long term user of PE v9 (basic editing & burning of home vids & slideshows), but I've just bought a new computer & upgraded to Photoshop & PE v11.
The first slideshow I created (created in Photoshop & exported to PE for adding music, titles etc) had a lot of issues:
Some of the photos were rotated 90 degrees & stretched (which I noticed & cut out prior to burning), but more importantly,
The end product once burned to DVD is of terrible quality.
I seem to recall that when I first set up PE 9 I set a project quality standard that all future projects would follow unless I changed it. I've looked everywhere in PE 11 & I can't find where this is set. I'm not overly technical and I'm out of ideas re: where to look to fix these quality issues.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Cozzie.

Hi Apple Miga,
I've spent literally hours on this trying all sorts of combinations of settings and ways & means of initiating a slideshow. To my surprise & absolute elation, I finally had a partial win late last night. I finally got the quality of the slides to be as good as I've been getting for years with PrE v7. I haven't been able to work out the rotation & stretching of some photos yet, but I'm at least I've got good quality on the photos that didn't rotate (which is the bulk of them).
Here's what I did, triggered by a comment above by VDOSurfer (thankyou VDOSurfer). I had actually already tried setting the project settings to DV-PAL (instead of AVCHD-PAL which I'd been using successfully with PrE v7) a couple of times with the same poor results, but I tried it again in a different order as follows:
Open PrE11.
Select 'New Project' (ie not existing project)
Once the new project opens up, select File, New Project (from the file menu at the top of the screen)
Click on 'Change Settings' at the bottom of the dialog box. I noticed here that my settings were always defaulting to NTSC/AVCHD 1080p60. So I changed this to PAL/DV Widescreen 48kHz (I live in Australia, so if you're in the US, I guess you'd select NTSC/DV Widescreen 48kHz).
Click on the checkbox 'Force selected project settings on this project'.
Click on Add Media
I added my slideshow from Photoshop because I'd already prepared it in that product, but you should be able to add it from wherever your photos live.
Click on Publish+Share, select DVD & Disk, ensure PAL_DOLBY_Widescreen DVD is selected. (If you're in the US, this would be NTSC).
Burn as normal.
This worked very well for me. Hope it helps. Please let me know how you go.
If anyone has any thoughts on how to stop the random rotation & stretching, I'd love to hear. Note that photos that are rotated & stretched start off in the correct rotation in Photoshop Elements v11 prior to exporting to PrE 11.
Thanks,
Cozzie.
