Feature Requests for BlackBerry10 OS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This thread has been closed and is continued in this new thread here:
Feature Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1
Please click on that link.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let's use this thread to list BlackBerry10 OS feature requests. There's nothing official to this thread, but one never knows who might view it and get an idea or two to move foward.
Please let's keep it to feature requests with simple short statements and comments, in this manner:
1. Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easliy pressed when retrieving from holster)
2. Personal distribution groups Address Book
4. Add BBM Group icon to home screen
**This thread is not for bug reports (i.e., the calendar glitches when I set the date) or for debate or discussion of the worthiness of a feature request.
So, what would YOU add to BB10?
What do YOU need to make the OS platform work better for you?
Here are the collected feature requests as of 04 April 2013. Thanks for Ride_The_Sky for helping collect these from this thread.
There are listed in no order, just as collected.
Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easily pressed when retrieving from holster)
Personal distribution groups Address Book

Better night shots in camera (hardware or software improvement?)
Ability to choose which address book to sync with bluetooth car.
When app is opened from a folder three or four pages into apps list, we hope the screen can go back to that spot when the app is closed (sadly it uses active frames at the moment)

Custom vibration options.
Move Send button in BBM to avoid accidental submission of message
Forward As… SMS, MMS, EMAIL from one to another.
Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
Single key press to change profiles.
Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)
Ability close one or all web pages/tabs, add "Close All" button.

Faster way to delete e-mails, such as file icons next to e-mails, or Swipe to Delete! Swipe to File!?
Customize email signatures with formatting.
Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
More Options for Clock.
In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

Photoshop CS4: Could not complete your request because of a program error.
Hello,
I find myself in an interesting dilemma. I've had CS4 for a bunch of years now and have loved it. Unfortunately, my MacBook Pro's hard drive crashed a month or so back. Luckily, I have been using an external hard drive to back up my computer, so when it crashed, I lost very little in comparisson to some horror stories I've heard.
My Ps was able to retuned to my new hard drive with virtually no problems. However, the error "Could not complete your request because of a program error" shows up in rapid succession 5-10 times after I select the text tool. Interestingly enough, if I weather that storm, I'm able to use all the fonts, actions, etc. with no problems. Originally, it was simply a nuissance that I dealt with, but it's beginning to hamper my work, especially today when I was on deadline.
Doing some research and reading around the web and given the most culpable reason seems to be something wrong with a font, but I don't know which font I'm missing, need to update, whatever.
So here's my question: how do I get this thing to go away? Is there some file or something like that buried in a backup that I didn't bring over to the new hard drive that's causing the problem. At first, I was just happy to have the thing working after the crash, but it's getting pretty annoying.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Well, I don't know which fonts came from where, to be honest. It's kind of a mix of whatever I've done over the past 5+ years, if that makes sense.
I'm perfectly fine deleting all the fonts and reinstalling just the ones needed for PsCS4 if there's a file of that. -
Advice Requested - High Availability WITHOUT Failover Clustering
We're creating an entirely new Hyper-V virtualized environment on Server 2012 R2. My question is: Can we accomplish high availability WITHOUT using failover clustering?
So, I don't really have anything AGAINST failover clustering, and we will happily use it if it's the right solution for us, but to be honest, we really don't want ANYTHING to happen automatically when it comes to failover. Here's what I mean:
In this new environment, we have architected 2 identical, very capable Hyper-V physical hosts, each of which will run several VMs comprising the equivalent of a scaled-back version of our entire environment. In other words, there is at least a domain
controller, multiple web servers, and a (mirrored/HA/AlwaysOn) SQL Server 2012 VM running on each host, along with a few other miscellaneous one-off worker-bee VMs doing things like system monitoring. The SQL Server VM on each host has about 75% of the
physical memory resources dedicated to it (for performance reasons). We need pretty much the full horsepower of both machines up and going at all times under normal conditions.
So now, to high availability. The standard approach is to use failover clustering, but I am concerned that if these hosts are clustered, we'll have the equivalent of just 50% hardware capacity going at all times, with full failover in place of course
(we are using an iSCSI SAN for storage).
BUT, if these hosts are NOT clustered, and one of them is suddenly switched off, experiences some kind of catastrophic failure, or simply needs to be rebooted while applying WSUS patches, the SQL Server HA will fail over (so all databases will remain up
and going on the surviving VM), and the environment would continue functioning at somewhat reduced capacity until the failed host is restarted. With this approach, it seems to me that we would be running at 100% for the most part, and running at 50%
or so only in the event of a major failure, rather than running at 50% ALL the time.
Of course, in the event of a catastrophic failure, I'm also thinking that the one-off worker-bee VMs could be replicated to the alternate host so they could be started on the surviving host if needed during a long-term outage.
So basically, I am very interested in the thoughts of others with experience regarding taking this approach to Hyper-V architecture, as it seems as if failover clustering is almost a given when it comes to best practices and high availability. I guess
I'm looking for validation on my thinking.
So what do you think? What am I missing or forgetting? What will we LOSE if we go with a NON-clustered high-availability environment as I've described it?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!Udo -
Yes your responses are very helpful.
Can we use the built-in Server 2012 iSCSI Target Server role to convert the local RAID disks into an iSCSI LUN that the VMs could access? Or can that not run on the same physical box as the Hyper-V host? I guess if the physical box goes down
the LUN would go down anyway, huh? Or can I cluster that role (iSCSI target) as well? If not, do you have any other specific product suggestions I can research, or do I just end up wasting this 12TB of local disk storage?
- Morgan
That's a bad idea. First of all Microsoft iSCSI target is slow (it's non-cached @ server side). So if you really decided to use dedicated hardware for storage (maybe you do have a reason I don't know...) and if you're fine with your storage being a single
point of failure (OK, maybe your RTOs and RPOs are fair enough) then at least use SMB share. SMB at least does cache I/O on both client and server sides and also you can use Storage Spaces as a back end of it (non-clustered) so read "write back flash cache
for cheap". See:
What's new in iSCSI target with Windows Server 2012 R2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn305893.aspx
Improved optimization to allow disk-level caching
Updated
iSCSI Target Server now sets the disk cache bypass flag on a hosting disk I/O, through Force Unit Access (FUA), only when the issuing initiator explicitly requests it. This change can potentially improve performance.
Previously, iSCSI Target Server would always set the disk cache bypass flag on all I/O’s. System cache bypass functionality remains unchanged in iSCSI Target Server; for instance, the file system cache on the target server is always bypassed.
Yes you can cluster iSCSI target from Microsoft but a) it would be SLOW as there would be only active-passive I/O model (no real use from MPIO between multiple hosts) and b) that would require a shared storage for Windows Cluster. What for? Scenario was
usable with a) there was no virtual FC so guest VM cluster could not use FC LUs and b) there was no shared VHDX so SAS could not be used for guest VM cluster as well. Now both are present so scenario is useless: just export your existing shared storage without
any Microsoft iSCSI target and you'll be happy. For references see:

VM Cluster Storage Options
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn440540.aspx
Storage options
The following tables lists the storage types that you can use to provide shared storage for a guest cluster.
Storage Type
Description
Shared virtual hard disk
New in Windows Server 2012 R2, you can configure multiple virtual machines to connect to and use a single virtual hard disk (.vhdx) file. Each virtual machine can access the virtual hard disk just like servers
would connect to the same LUN in a storage area network (SAN). For more information, see Deploy a Guest Cluster Using a Shared Virtual Hard Disk.
Virtual Fibre Channel
Introduced in Windows Server 2012, virtual Fibre Channel enables you to connect virtual machines to LUNs on a Fibre Channel SAN. For more information, see Hyper-V
Virtual Fibre Channel Overview.
iSCSI
The iSCSI initiator inside a virtual machine enables you to connect over the network to an iSCSI target. For more information, see iSCSI
Target Block Storage Overviewand the blog post Introduction of iSCSI Target in Windows
Server 2012.
Storage requirements depend on the clustered roles that run on the cluster. Most clustered roles use clustered storage, where the storage is available on any cluster node that runs a clustered
role. Examples of clustered storage include Physical Disk resources and Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV). Some roles do not require storage that is managed by the cluster. For example, you can configure Microsoft SQL Server to use availability groups that replicate
the data between nodes. Other clustered roles may use Server Message Block (SMB) shares or Network File System (NFS) shares as data stores that any cluster node can access.
Sure you can use third-party software to replicate 12TB of your storage between just a pair of nodes to create a fully fault-tolerant cluster. See (there's also a free offering):
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] for Hyper-V
http://www.starwindsoftware.com/native-san-for-hyper-v-free-edition
Product is similar to what VMware had just released for ESXi except it's selling for ~2 years so is mature :)
There are other guys doing this say DataCore (more playing for Windows-based FC) and SteelEye (more about geo-cluster & replication). But you may want to give them a try.
Hope this helped a bit :)
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts. -
Enhancement requests do seem to be worthwhile in the end...
Having requested the continuous/shuffle music video playback several times in the last 18 months or so, and urged people to do so via...
http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
...it has finally been implemented and I'm chuffed to bits.
Well done Apple, this is a superb enhancement though why so long to implement ?
Personally I feel this was a huge oversight for AppleTV ever since it was realeased, and seriously hindered both use of AppleTV as a media extender and obviated the point of buying music videos unless you watch them on portable devices which I don't.
I had become increasingly negative about the prospect of ever seeing this feature
appear - this cat doesn't wear a hat so I'll have to eat something else instead!
I am now likely to spend a fair amount on music videos at iTunes Store having vowed not to do so again as having to select each one manually to play was tedious to say the least.
Really baffles me how Apple have missed the opportunity for revenue from music video sales via AppleTV, particularly when iPods had the shuffle feature.
As I commented a few weeks ago I think perhaps priorities since 2.0 update have been to get the store up and running properly before implementing enhancement requests or new features.
Very pleased Apple have finally implemented this extremely useful feature, it may not be pointless in using the link above, it just takes time.
So the next thing we should do is think of things to officially lobby for in future updates.
My top 3 would be:
1 - Allowing connection via USB to rescue data from AppleTV for users who've had hard drive accidents/msihaps and haven't backed up recently - fact of life it happens even if you're careful! Files with DRM are safe from unauthorised use and those without DRM are no less secure than they were before anyway. This could even be done by only allowing AppleTV to dump media to an external USB device instead of allowing an external connection to AppleTV itself, and could be controlled from say a backup menu option. Alternatively full manual bidirectional drag and drop of media via iTunes to/from AppleTV could be implemented with a mode to prevent a new sync library connection wiping existing content.
What's in it for Apple? Huge boost in consumer confidence that Apple allow them to easily recover their personal files in the event of a problem - there should be no need to hack or dismantle AppleTV just to get at your data. Just think of all those people saying thank heaven I had an appleTV as my Macbook died and I'd forgotten to backup those wedding photos etc. We see examples of frustrated users almost daily with this problem.
2 - Additional codec support - it's all very well saying h264 is the best thing since sliced bread and the current Apple/Apple Store standard, but the limited video codec support is probably the biggest hindrance to AppleTV becoming an extremely popular media device. It has the slickest interface of commercial products but many prospective customers have files in long established older formats that are incompatible without prior time consuming and quality degrading transcoding. Locking down AppleTV in this way alienates many potential users. The argument about the source of files in other formats may have some validity, but it is not Apple's job to infer that a user's file is of dubious origin simply for not being in h264 format. I am not condoning filesharing/torrents etc merely saying that most people have older files in older formats they want to use without conversion. Many DVD players allow playback of DivX (never use it myself), and if there's a licensing issue offer playback as a per device plugin option paid for by the user in the same way the QT MPEG2 pluging is offered.
What's in it for Apple? Happy customers who would simply use something else like a PS3 to view their files and not buy AppleTV. New customers who would not have purchased otherwise. Happy customers who no longer need to trasncode files to watch. You'd be happy with being able to use older files, but would also get the benefit of using iTunes Store for new things.
The overhwelming thing would be a sense of 'fair play' gained by the consumer. For me personally since 2.0+ the device's overwhelming iTunes Store based menu design sticks in the craw and has relegated MY content to the bottom of menus. Give us the best of both worlds - an iTunes Store top level section for purchases and separate simple top level sections for combined personal/purchased media as in software 1.0/1.1. In essence declutter the menu system for playback lumping all the purchasing/preview/search options together.
3 - Tricky. Most useful would be an AppleTV SDK and 3rd party plugins/apps via iTunes paid and/or free similar to the iPhone model - I can live without widgets/visualisers/social networking plugins etc but they would be valuable to many users. As far as I know the iPhone Apps have been a huge success - no reason why not on AppleTV too, though commiting to this pathway would probably be very expensive in terms of developing a secure/sandboxed environment for running apps/plugins unless they could port the iPhone software fairly simply.
Anyhow, once again delighted Apple have added the music video feature - I will start buying music videos from iTunes music store again. Bad for my wallet but good for Apple and AppleTV. Perhaps I should be thankful and consider how much I've saved not buying music videos in the last 18 months or so.....
What would you like to see? Some things will be impossible/hardware limited, others quite feasible.
Discuss, but also use the formal feedback link to give enhancements any chance to appear!
Let's all help make AppleTV a success, and hopefully the media extender to beat!

to be honest, adding playlists (or whatever it is) for just music videos is of no use to me.
it is playlists for tv shows that i need. ie the capability of playing episode 1 to 5 of a particular season back to back.
Funny isn't it, how we all do things differently, have different preferences, enhancement wishes etc.
For me it's not really a big chore to watch an episode then to manually start the next assuming I or Mrs AC are still awake!
For episodes of short duration say 5-15 minutes I appreciate this could get annoying, and for longer episodes I suppose we are used to Play All type options on DVDs.
If these are iTunes TV Shows you're stuck at the moment, but if they're say 'home recordings converted for AppleTV' you could theoretically get round it by setting their types to Music Video. Clumsy but it should work.
I'm sure you can see the benefit of playlists/shuffling for music videos that may be 3-4 minutes each on average. I rediscovered dozens of iTunes Store music video purchases last night and thought 'yes, this is one of the big reasons why I bought AppleTV initially' - it did not say anywhere that AppleTV could not do this somewhat logical task - assumptions are dangerous though and invariably you only find out the full capabilities of products when using them.
additional codec support ? i would say there is no chance of this. x264 is pretty standard theses days (if you discount the pirate industry). x264 is even used for HD TV in the UK.
I agree, there's more chance of Tony Blair making a comeback!
Piracy is rife and I do not support it.
My views on fair use of media you personally own are quite different.
It's not the codec/container that's the issue it's how the material was acquired in the first place - it may simply be your home videos, digitised off-air recordings etc that is in a 'legacy' format that you don't want to transcode. We know from the modders that most other SD formats are playable on the current hardware so that's not the issue.
Take say an Elgato EyeTV device - I can record anything off-air, edit and transcode for AppleTV or just transcode unedited automatically. How much more sensible it woudl be if AppleTv simply supported the MPEG-2 transport stream playback rather than wasting time and computing/power resources doing the transcode.
I have some some standard video-CDs I made on a PC in the late 1990's, how nice it would be to be able to play the MPEG-1 content back without fiddling - it's not as though converting to h264 will do anything for the quality!

Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
This problem has been re-occuring for a day now, and I honestly have no clue why, I followed the directions. I updated my camera raw plugin, and photoshop to the lastest version. I am trying to open an avi file but it won't open it. About 4 seconds long. Usually I could but yesterday when I tried opening it, it says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document." Any suggestions because I'm trying to make gifs but I can't because photoshop won't let me open the avi. file.
Thanks, but I have a 64-bit pc, I do have photoshop cs5 64 and 32 bit but it's only avaiblable for 32 bit, i'll use it for now but if anyone has a solution for 64 bit photoshop it'd be great.

I have created an invoice correction request with ref to a billing doc.
From document I understand that system creates a credit memo for the +ve total value & a debit memo for a -ve total value.
Since my RK has default category set to K it always allows me to create only credit memo.
Anyway I will explain my problem below.
My Sales Order has 2 items & the origianl price for the 1st item was entered as $6,000 per piece. But found the new price to be only $8,000. I changed the debit amount in RK to $8,000.
For the 2nd item if the original price maintained is $500 & in invoice correction req I changed the debit amount to $300.
After I save the invoice correction req it allows me to create only Credit memo for both the items.
My credit memo shows the below,
item 1 credit amount $6,000
item 1 debit amount $8,000-
item 2 credit amount $500
item 2 debit amount $300-
I don't quite understand how it works & how by right it should be if my price change being lower & higher due to price discrepency.
Pls share,
rgds
priHi Santosh,
Take it easy. I have seen people posting job openings at SDN forums. Let us 'honestly" welcome new members.
This was a general open-ended question and I quoted (better way to say copied) SAP to give an answer. I can not explain better then SAP.
Comming back to the topic, Invoice Correction Request is "unique" to SAP and is quite useful but I have not seen it in use. Normally I have seen people using a combination of Credit memo request, Debit Memo request, Sales Return and New Sales order to achieve what can be done by this single document. So if some body shows interest in it, it interests me.
In a sequence to General Question - General Answer often there are specific questions and answer.
Morale of the story : "Take it Easy".
Cheers.

When I try to download games eg. Dreamland HD light it says the following: your request cannot be completed. Please help.
Honestly, these are WAGs but they're all that I can think of.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -
Truncated POST requests in IE 10 - In Response to NTLM Authentication
In Internet Explorer 10, the browser is incorrectly truncating HTTP POST requests and submitting unsolicited NTLM negotiate headers with a HTTP Content-Length of Zero Bytes. This results in HTTP POST parameters failing to be submitted to the
server.
Assume the following web application with a context root of:
https://w3.someapplication.net/webapplication/
Secure cookies for this site are established at the context root of this application.
To reproduce this issue, a secure session is established at a protection space deeper than the root context of the web app:
https://w3.someapplication.net/webapplication/secure/login
After establishing a secure session with the web application, some client side artifacts are retrieved from a web proxy at a higher protection space:
https://w3.someapplication.net/webapplication/somejs.js
Subsequent HTTP POST requests to a deeper protection space will result in IE incorrectly attempting to pass an unsolicited NTLM negotiate header to the server side, and the HTTP POST request will be truncated with a Zero Content-Length header:
https://w3.someapplicaiton.net/webapplication/submit/form
The result is that the HTTP POST parameters submitted to the last URL will be lost.
This is reproducible against IE6 and IE10. It does not reproduce against IE8, or any non-Microsoft browser which all behave in a sane manner.
My Questions:
Why is IE behaving this way?
What can I do to make IE behave properly? Please don't suggest that I change the entire structure of my company's website to overcome this kind of silly bug in IE.
Is there a planned fix to correct this behavior back to the proper implementation observed in IE8?
Additional details about this problem are documented by an IE Internals blogger at the following url:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2010/11/22/internet-explorer-post-bodies-are-zero-bytes-in-length-when-authentication-challenges-are-expected.aspx
MichaelYes, I have read that blog post in detail. All of the comments from Microsoft on this issue suggest making intrusive changes to the web application side to work around this "optimization". This is not an acceptable answer. This
is clearly a bug in IE. Evidence to support that this is a bug is that the behavior within IE's own browsers is not consistent; IE6 and IE10 will reproduce this issue, IE7 and IE8 will not.
I don't understand your suggestion; "ensure all paths are configured to require authentication". This is not a reasonable expectation for any normal web app. Our application does require authentication on all paths. However, when the first
authentication request goes through, a HTTP Session is established. Any subsequent request to that domain will not and should not be re-authenticated. IE making assumptions about the authentication requirements of a server side application is incorrect.
Further, even if i did re-challenge the browser for credentials on every path, regardless of whether a session is established or not, how would I handle the requirement to serve client side artifacts from a web proxy within that secure domain? Am I expected
to force my web proxy to require an NTLM header to serve up a CSS file? That is just silly.
You also suggested that my application might be incorrectly returning a 401. I can assure you, that is not the case. The flow is this:
Perform a signon to the application and retrieve some client side artifacts required by the splash page
https://w3.myapp.com/some/app/path?query=string
401 + www-negotiate response header
https://w3.myapp.com/some/app/path?query=string
browser provides a ntlm token, user is logged in, session is started
https://w3.myapp.com/some/file.js 200 response code, no challenge from the server side
Splash page is loaded; user submits a POST request
https://w3.myapp.com/some/app/path POST request fails because IE truncates the request and attaches an NTLM negotiate header with Zero Byte content length. This is an unsolicited negotiate header from IE.
Honestly, it really irritates me when people suggest we should change our entire application structure to accommodate IE bugs or "features" that are completely outside of the HTTP spec. I understand RFC4559 states that a browser MAY initiate a request
to a server which includes an unsolicited negotiate header, but it doesn't say anything about truncating the contents of that request.
No other browsers exhibit this behavior, and even the behavior within Microsoft's own product is not consistent. It is insanely frustrating as a web developer trying to deal with all of IE's little nuances.
Is there anyway this can be turned off via a registry entry? Is there any plan to fix this in a future release? -

2. Employment
3. Informed of Soft Pull
4. How much I wanted and if I was willing to accept an amount that was less than what was requested.
5. Rent/Mortgage paymentShe kept thanking me through out the conversation and was informed that all three emails were sent to their underwriting department for review.
I can call her about 4-5 days of the pending outcome.... I will let you guys know...keep your fingers crossed... Cap1 Plat $1,100

Spoke w/EO office..they said to continue montior ...they said i should be approved because I'm a good customer and make plenty of payments. They said that it could take

I do have one score, Equifax, nearing 660 (it's at 658), and it seems as if that threshold is of some signficance. But I plan to try your approach and see what happens. I'll say this about Fico in general: while I'm not whining nor feeling sorry for myself, I honestly truly don't think it reflects me or my risk profile. I had credit from 1992 to 2008 without so much as a 30 day late the entire time. Completely clean tradelines on credit cards and car loans. The world fell apart in 2008 and I lost a huge amount of salary, fell way behind on bills and took money out of my retirement plans to try to stave off bankruptcy. In retrospect, I should have declated bankruptcy then and I'd be free and clear today, but I thought I was doing the 'right thing' and I was dead wrong.
But now I'm in this situation having gone nearly four years without a major late (one 30 day late about 20 months ago). So from 2008 to 2012 things were really bad...four years out of a 22 year credit history when the world was ina horrible recessiion and I was caught up in at at the wrong stage of life. But my scores are still horrible and likely will be for some time. I'm hoping this direct approach will allow a creditor to see that my body of work, while hardly perfect ,is not one of a guy who spends recklessly or walks out on his bills. To the contrary, one fo the reasons I'm so far behind still was taht I didn't want to screw my creditors and think it's important to pay back everything I owe, which I have now with the exception of the tax lien.

FITE_EXPENSES -- Available Travel Requests / Plans
Hi Experts,
I've got a question concerning the creation of travel expenses and the data acquisition of the respective travel request. Let's say I've sent a Travel Request and it has been approved by the respective approver, i.e. status of the process is "approval" and status of approval is "approved". Now, in the scenario "All my Trips" the user can choose the tabs for travel requests and click on the link "Create" in Tab "Travel Expenses", so the travel request is used as a data template for the travel expense sheet. All is good.
Alternatively, for some requests posted, at the 'entry screen' of the scenario FITE_EXPENSES, there's a list "Available Travel Requests / Plans" which apparently shows some, but not all travel requests available.
Now my question is: Where does the generic alv-grid "Available Travel Requests / Plans" get its items from? I've plunged deep into FITV_FPM to find some clues but couldn't fin anything out, it's just too generically programmed...
The way it is now, there is a redundancy/inconsistency between all my trips --> travel requests, and FITE_EXPENSES --> Available Travel Requests / Plans. This bothers me, because it will be annoying for the end user...
I hope somebody can clear this up ;-/

Hi there,
I am new in this forum, and posting here as I haven't seen any other way to send requests for future releases.
I am quite sad to see there is no forum dedicated to iOS, as my post is related to it.
Firstable, want to say I have been quite happy with Apple products so far, in my opinion very high quality hardware.
It hasn't always been the same for iOS, but it definitely has changed and improved a lot with latest updates.
There are still some things that need improvement in order to become a bit more user friendly, and here goes one, very important for me:
I would appreciate some folder, same style as the 'fotos' folder, where you can download or transfer, and possibly view, all kind of documents (pdf, doc, xls, etc...).
And that those documents could be later sent attached to a mail, using 'mail', or other third party mail application (example mBox mail).
I know there are applications like goodreader with which you can do that, but it would be nice to have a default iOS function for that (to download & send documents). Same thing that you can do with mac OS.
I am honestly missing as well, like many users, flashplayer, to see some websites that need it to be installed.
Thank you and happy year 2011 to everybody!There is no forum specifically for iOS since there's no single version. It's a bit different on each device. Posting in the device forum is the best way to get assistance.
For providing suggestions to Apple, use their feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
I would appreciate some folder, same style as the 'fotos' folder, where you can download or transfer, and possibly view, all kind of documents (pdf, doc, xls, etc...).
There are many third-party utilities that provide this sort of functionality, including the ability to email a file. Dropbox is one I use and it works quite well. You might want to look into some of those.

ATT: Creative Firmware Engineering....Request for Last 10 Playlist Supp
I have just purchased the Zen Xtra 30gb. Very Nice. I like it a lot. Installed only the MS Explorer drivers on my PC and use the drag-n-drop. I listen to music as well as books. Please forgive if any of these requests are already featured on the player. If they are, I have not found them.
A feature that my RioVolt CD player has is a "Last 0 CD Memory". Where it returns to the last selection I was listening to on any of the last 0 CD's popped in the player. If the Zen could do this for the last 0 playlists, or something like that (user selectable on/off of course). It would be a real nice feature for those of us who jump around listening to different things while driving long stretches. Especially for long audiobooks that you want to take a break from now and again to hear music.
Oh, and hey, a charging craddle would be great too. Like my Palm Pilot had. It would be nice to drop it (gently of course) into a craddle at night instead of fumbling with wires every time I need to charge it. I may have to attempt to make one myself.
A feature to have the player switch to "Now Playing", say, 0 seconds after you've selected an album would be neeto, rather than staying on the album page for the entire album.
Lastly, before I forget, the Explorer drivers won't let me copy MP3's from another machine (via networking) directly into the player. That's a pain. Since my faster USB port is not on the same machine as my MP3's.
OK, I went into several requests. Ooopsy. Thanks for designing a really great and affordable player.Thanks for replying. While I was half-hoping that my lengthy plea might have been the straw that broke the camel's back, I can't say I honestly expected AT&T to change their policy and suddenly start delivering more timely releases of firmware updates with greater transparency about the process. As for me, I only had a small window of time to return the handset to AT&T. Having heard nothing, I figured that the safest course of action was to buy a carrier-unlocked RM-985 from a reputable retailer. After it shows up tomorrow, I'll still have time to return the AT&T variant. With Windows Phone 10 arriving shortly, this should ensure that I get that upgrade at least a month or two before users with the AT&T branded device. I'll also be able to lower the monthly bill, so that's a big side benefit. It's unfortunate that this is how AT&T operates. I imagine that they get more than a few returns of the device from people who couldn't get Netflix working and this has to be costing them some money. It certainly makes Windows Phone/Microsoft look bad as well, although they did ship the device with buggy firmware in the first place, even if they did provide a fix. Supposedly with Windows 10, Microsoft will no longer be allowing carriers to block phone updates, so the situation should improve. M

Random Blackerry Messenger Contact Requests
Hi, I keep receiving hundreds of contact requests on blackberry messenger from people that I don't know. I've honestly received 400 requests so far today.
I haven't shared my pin on twitter or facebook, etc. so I don't know how these people have gotten it!
Is there any way I can stop or block this?
Thanks.Somehow, somebody has got ahold of your PIN. Perhaps you bought your phone second-hand? If it's the odd request here and there, I usually suggest it's just somebody sending out random requests but since you're receiving so many, it's beyond that.
The only real solution is to exchange your phone for another one thereby swapping PINs. Technically, there is no method of filtering which requests should come to your phone and which ones should be bounced. As long as you keep this PIN active, the requests will probably continue to come in.
Not advice you wanted to hear but I see no other solution.
- If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated. -
Small request regarding quoting posts in the screenshots thread
I have a small request for all of you who regularly reply to posts in the screenshots thread - when you quote someone, could you please ensure that the link that shows up in the quoted post is to the full image, and not the thumbnail? It defaults to the thumbnail, and that's very annoying, as you then have to hunt through the previous posts until you find the one that's being referenced, which is sometimes pages back.
Thanks!

May I ask what's wrong with Imageshack? (an honest question!)
The links to the images are longer, and there isn't an officially sanctioned command line upload tool.
However, what gets to me the most is when people use the "forum code" provided by ImageShack. When you click on the thumbnail, instead of taking you directly to the image, you go to an intermediate page, from which you have to click again to get to the image itself. Here is a perfect example.

As you can see, the same sort of issue.
