Siri Observeations...Please add yours

Hey All,
I just wanted to share some things I have noticed about Siri. A big thing we need to remember is it is very network intensive. If your connection is slow then Siri will be slow. I have found that turning off the voice feedbacl in settings speeds things up a bit.
The service did freeze up on me yesterday and I did a restore of my phone from a backup and all was well. As others have said, it's Beta. Siri also gives the impression of a much more powerful tool than it has been allowed to be at this time. Use it for what it can do and enjoy the day.

I posted this earlier but I think it go lost in the noise!
Very impressed with Siri but for all the clever things it can do - why not...
     "Bluetooth on" - no joy...Siri can't understand this
     "Save battery" - Siri could switch off 3G, wifi, gps, bluetooth (oops, no; see above) to preserve battery life
     "Airplane mode on" - no joy again
     Launch an app of any kind - eg "calculator" or "camera"
     "Sync now"
In all cases it hears the words and faithfully and accurately repeats them back - but can't take what seem to be pretty simple actions.
A few thoughts for a Siri 2 upgrade, Apple

  • Caché vs Oracle vs RDBMS - Please add your 2 cents!

    Hi All,
    I have recently “discovered” the Caché DBMS and realised just how little information there is out there. Apart from a few forums and a few vendor websites (mostly InterSystems) I haven’t been able to find much documentation or FAQ’s or user guides/manuals about the MUMPS (and Caché) database. HOWEVER(!) I have found two articles (funnily enough published by the Caché vendor InterSystems) about how much faster Caché is compared to Oracle. So the reason I’m posting here to (hopefully) start a discussion and get some input from Oracle users out there who have user Caché.
    There are many claims by Caché users about how ultra-fast it is, how easy it to write application code (since the DBMS is object oriented), how the databases run with next to no intervention by DBA's, etc, etc. So if, as they claim, it's such a fantastic product how come 99% of the time I draw a blank when I ask other people in the field about Caché? Absolutely no one in my organisation knows how to use the Caché DB that we use. The end users access the Application...and that's it! And if the Caché technology is genuinely fast and efficient shouldn't the big 3 (Oracle, MS, IBM) include Caché like technology in their products or at least introduce competing?
    Don't get me wrong. This is not an attempt to say one DBMS is better than the other. I just want to see how many have heard of/used Caché and what the general consensus is about Caché. And what do you think about OO-DBMS, is it the future? There's a link below that says how OO-DBMS' are the best options for large-scare Internet systems (citing Google's BigTable and Amazon's SimpleDB), do you agree?

    Oh, you mean [url http://isabel.la/?q=node/24]DSM-11? ;)
    I think if you look around you will find Oracle is used very heavily in the health care field. While there is nothing wrong with software written for the ages, surely more should be, trying to keep stuff written that long ago creeping along is just way too expensive, it has too many implicit assumptions about how systems should be designed and the relative costs of the various trade-offs. Of course, some of the [url http://web.signonsandiego.com/news/2011/feb/20/wireless-device-would-give-doctors-access-real-tim/]newest stuff is being designed haphazardly, which has a great deal of risk. Add in modern legislative issues and you have a real mess.
    Claims of 4GL or object-oriented development being faster are misleading. Two things wind up happening: compromises are made as technology develops, and maintenance becomes increasingly difficult because it is too easy to change things. In addition, design philosophies spring up that have strange ideas about how to deconstruct a large system into small component parts. As the others noted, we periodically see this new paradigm baloney, and it goes nowhere.
    The speed of various paradigms can be better than a pure relational approach - see [url http://kevinclosson.wordpress.com/kevin-closson-index/exadata-posts/]Exadata, for one - but they inevitably need a very specific approach to very specific problems. It gets to the point where vendors require very specific hardware and software requirements to make it work - see [url http://kerryosborne.oracle-guy.com/2010/08/running-oracle-exadata-v2-on-dell-hardware/]Exadata, for one.
    Large scale systems like google are BS for actual applications. What is google? It is an advertising company. Look at it's SEC filings, it says that in so many words. The data it presents does not have to be accurate or consistent, and it is not. It doesn't take much effort at all to find searches that don't work, or give different results. All those other google apps you hear so much about have not proven themselves to be successful, and most are failures in a business sense. Follow the money.
    Amazon is a bit better example, if you happen to be an Amazon size company. Note that the actual business runs on Oracle, and was able to grow as it did by using Oracle. All that "eventually transactionally consistent" stuff has to end up somewhere. As for simpledb, what real use is being able to change your data model on the fly? You need to fix your modeling skills!
    Larry Ellison is a very bright guy, and as technologies prove themselves they get brought in and others get brought in before they prove themselves. Some of them fail and are quietly ignored, some are simply too far ahead of their time. Everyone wants to be the next google, but most fail.

  • Please add your experience to this thread: LR V1 vs LR V2- on YOUR system

    Just out of curiosity sake...would people mind putting a few thoughts here as to their upgrade experience. PLEASE NO posts about speed issues, or arguing over system specs etc etc...there are already plenty of those threads here.
    Instead what I am asking is for people to simply answer the following questions, no more no less. So if you like to participate please keep the posts simple. I am hoping this will provide some idea to those of us who have yet to upgrade as to what we can expect. Thanks for helping..
    1) What OS, ie Windows or Mac (XP or Vista, What Mac OS version)
    2) Processor type (cores and speed)
    3) Ram (amount and speed if you know it)
    4) Main working Hard drive (internal, external-& connection here- And speed ie 7200, 10,000, striped raid...etc)
    5) Average # of images in library
    6) In you subjective opinion would you say that LR V1.x ran:
    a) Adequate
    b) Good
    c) Screaming fast
    d) Slooow
    7) Since upgrading to V2 on your CURRENT system how would you rate LR V2 vs your experience in V1? Please use the above a-d answers
    8 ) After your experience with question #7, did you upgrade your system? If so what did you do and how did it affect your perception of speed in LR V2? Again using the above a-d answers
    Thanks again. I know this is not scientific, nor does it address all the possible variables. But it will give us an idea as to how LR V2 MAY run on our systems when compared to V1

    1.Xp-sp3
    2. 2G Amd Athlon 64
    3. 2456 Mb memory
    4. Internal 7200
    5. images +- 1700mb (new cataloque for Aug.)
    6. V1.4 -good, but would lock up on export once a week
    7.a)initially good -first two days after install
    b)uninstalled v1.4 and v2 went from sloooow to very bad.
    c.Today Aug-Registry clear out of anything 'Lightroom',Moved any folder connected to Lightroom off the hard drive except current cataloque, UNINSTALLED V2. shut down computer-rebooted.
    d. Reinstalled V2, redid preferences, opened current cataloque, redid a develop preset EVERYTHING is working WELL! Local adjustments now usable.
    8.No changes to computer. Should have cleared out old Lightroom stuff before installing V2

  • When trying to access one website, Firefox says " This domain is not configured for this service. Please add it to your account."

    I am trying to access a fabric website I have used before and when I try to type in the domain name, a message appears saying "This domain is not configured for this service. Please add it to your account". How do I fix this?

    That message sounds like an address might have changed on the server...
    Are you trying to access the site directly using a bookmarks, or by typing into the address bar, or by following a link in a search engine? Sometimes links change making bookmarks and search engine entries obsolete, or Firefox's autofill feature suggests an address that no longer works, so if one approach doesn't work, you might try one of the others.

  • I want Siri on iPhone 4. it can be included technically. please add it in a future ios version. it is an important feature.

    hi,
    I want Siri on iPhone 4 as millions of other users, I think.
    it can be included technically. please add it in a future ios version. it is an important feature. iPhone 4 was an expensive phone (800$ for me, I have a 32 MB version). it should have it now. low cost Android phone has it.
    I am frustrated to not have it.
    I like very much apple products (and make a lot of friends and family members buy apple products).
    So, Apple should care about users or they will buy go elsewhere.

    Apple has already noted several years ago that iPhone 4 is not designed to have siri working on it. All models before iPhone 4S and iPad 3/Air doesn't have the processing power for Siri functionality.

  • There is no option to add an email account in the email setup settings please for your help!!

    Hi everybody,
    i just became fan of blackberry. i am trying to set up the email i already have in my yahoo account.
    I am following the guide and i go to setup email settings. However, there is just the option of  "I want to use a work email account with a blackberry enterprise server".
    is there any other way to set up my yahoo account in my device?
    thanks a lot for your help!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you should then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.
    Good luck!

    Hi Tracy,
    Have you changed something on your SharePoint 2007 environment recently before this issue occurred?
    This issue may be related to Alternate Access Mappings settings like the following similar post, if you have configured AAM, you can check if this issue happened to some URLs, if it's the case, please add the problematic URLs as a Publish URLs for the default
    zone for your web application, and also add these URLs as trusted locations, then check results again.
    If above doesn't work, please enable ULS log on verbose level to get more useful log errors which time are corresponding to the errors occur.

  • TS1424 I am having issues downloading music from iTunes, it comes up saying an unknown error has occurred - please check your network connection. Now I can connect to iTunes store and have itunes as an exception for downloads so don't know what else to do

    Hello, I've started having an issue downloading songs and apps from iTunes to our PC which has Windows XP Professional installed. We also use Karspersky Anti-Virus and Firefox as an internet browser. Have never had this issue before, it comes up with "An unknow error has occured and downloads are stopped with an error 8003. Also says please check your network connection" We have no issue connecting to iTunes store or the network so not sure how to fix this. It is very frustrating. Have checked Windows Firewall and iTunes is an exception, can't think of anything else why it won't work.

    I sounds as though you need to start again. The following article tells you how to completely remove iTunes and Quicktime. If you didn't actually install iTunes you wont find it in add/remove programs so you can't do that bit, but still delete the iTunes folder in Program Files as advised in the article.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
    Once you have got rid of them, try installing the latest version of iTunes. There is a link to it in the article.
    Itunes wont move your music for you, get iTune sgoing then ask again.

  • Fed up with your X6 anyone? Add your bugs...

    X6 owners - fed up with your terrible quality phone?
    Please have a read and add your own bugs if you want - I want to write to Nokia with some of the main ones that need to get sorted, and soon. Surely with enough support / evidence they can't ignore us (although I'm not holding my breath!). You know, I'm struggling to find a thread on this forum which isn't about an 'issue', 'bug' or 'problem' with the phone. I'm fed up with it. We all paid a lot of money for the phone (whether it was part of a contract or not) and I just want it to WORK.
    It is without doubt the worst phone I've ever owned. Anyone else with me?
    Glitchy, buggy, slow and unpredictable don't even begin to describe it...I'm now on my second one, with the first one deciding to pack up a few months back with a dropping signal problem (from full bar to no bar in about 5 seconds, and then back to full back about 15 seconds later) - Nokia deemed it BER and after a letter from me, replaced it with a new one...the fact that the second one has exactly the same issues as the first confirm to me just how terrible the build quality of the phone is.
    Any of the below issues sound familar to anyone? Some are phone related, others app/Ovi/Nokia related :
    * Ovi Maps freezing during navigation, even when you're not interacting with the phone or running any background apps. Literally just spontaneously. Requires hard restart most of the time as you can rarely force it to close.
    * iPhone 4 style signal issue whereby holding it in a normal 'phone grip' fashion results in signal dropping completely or nearly completely.
    * General signal drops during calls - anyone else notice you can be on a phone call in a full signal area (with 3G etc) and calls will just drop; take a look at your phone and you have no signal? Give it 30 seconds and you'll be back up to full bars again.
    * Spotify (if anyone has it) just randomly crashing ALL THE TIME, again without any background apps running (ironially it seems to be more reliable with a few things running in the background)
    * Facebook app thinks stuff that happened two weeks ago is the latest news that it wants to tell me about. Hit refresh and it still thinks old news is new news. Reinstall and wiping of all user data to no joy (same issue even post-phone reset)
    * "Realplayer" able to play about 3% of videos I want to watch on the internet - basically a few MPEGs...don't even think about a low-res MP4 stream (where we get the dreaded "Trying to play partially" message). Any UK owners tried running a stream off m.tvcatchup.com? Good luck!
    * (Just a general gripe here but) Lack of widget support for the homescreen and general lack of integration support for 3rd party apps to the OS - why oh WHY in this day and age of smart phones are S60v5 Nokias unable to have apps like Facebook spider in to some of the phone's functions? E.g. notifications on the homescreen (the original iPhone was able to do this in January 2007, its now September 2010 Nokia - wakey wakey) and profile pictures linked in with the phone's address book (my friend's HTC Desire does this VERY nicely; I'm jealous).
    Before my X6, I had a 6230i (don't laugh, I know its ancient but it worked a treat, absolutely bomb proof which is why I never bothered upgrading)...I just don't understand how backwards this phone seems to be in terms of its flimsy build quality and diabolical OS.
    This will definitely be my last ever Nokia. Seriously...I've been a Nokia fanboy all my life but I'm just embarassed by this phone. It is absolute rubbish and I so so so wish I'd gotten a Blackberry or Android. Talk about less hassle.
    I'm running v21.0.0.4, although I feel I might as well be running an Alpha build of S60v5.
    Any other annoyances and bugs, boys and girls?
    p.s. the camera may be its sole redeeming feature - very good photo quality for a phone - takes the iPhone to the cleaners.

    On balance I agree with bazyeo, I am another long term X6 owner (Dec 09) and on the whole I am fairly pleased with the phone. Sure it's not perfect and one of my major personal gripes with the phone is the relatively poor RAM allocation that Nokia decided upon during the hardware design but it's hardly a show stopper for me. I guess I was spoilt as my previous phone was a Nokia N82.

    Oh come on!! This is a user support forum, you know? Where people come for help when they have problems with their phones. It's pretty obvious that you'll read the majority of threads where owners have issues... that's because they have come here for help. You're hardly going to get a bunch of threads where owners turn up out of the blue to thank Nokia for a problem free phone. That's like saying all you see at a hospital are sick people.

    Not even close, try the N80 on V3 firmware... now that was an order of magnitude worse.

    * Ovi Maps freezing during navigation, even when you're not interacting with the phone or running any background apps. Literally just spontaneously. Requires hard restart most of the time as you can rarely force it to close.
    * iPhone 4 style signal issue whereby holding it in a normal 'phone grip' fashion results in signal dropping completely or nearly completely.
    * General signal drops during calls - anyone else notice you can be on a phone call in a full signal area (with 3G etc) and calls will just drop; take a look at your phone and you have no signal? Give it 30 seconds and you'll be back up to full bars again.
    * Spotify (if anyone has it) just randomly crashing ALL THE TIME, again without any background apps running (ironially it seems to be more reliable with a few things running in the background)
    * Facebook app thinks stuff that happened two weeks ago is the latest news that it wants to tell me about. Hit refresh and it still thinks old news is new news. Reinstall and wiping of all user data to no joy (same issue even post-phone reset)
    * "Realplayer" able to play about 3% of videos I want to watch on the internet - basically a few MPEGs...don't even think about a low-res MP4 stream (where we get the dreaded "Trying to play partially" message). Any UK owners tried running a stream off m.tvcatchup.com? Good luck!
    * (Just a general gripe here but) Lack of widget support for the homescreen and general lack of integration support for 3rd party apps to the OS - why oh WHY in this day and age of smart phones are S60v5 Nokias unable to have apps like Facebook spider in to some of the phone's functions? E.g. notifications on the homescreen (the original iPhone was able to do this in January 2007, its now September 2010 Nokia - wakey wakey) and profile pictures linked in with the phone's address book (my friend's HTC Desire does this VERY nicely; I'm jealous).
    Before my X6, I had a 6230i (don't laugh, I know its ancient but it worked a treat, absolutely bomb proof which is why I never bothered upgrading)...I just don't understand how backwards this phone seems to be in terms of its flimsy build quality and diabolical OS.
    This will definitely be my last ever Nokia. Seriously...I've been a Nokia fanboy all my life but I'm just embarassed by this phone. It is absolute rubbish and I so so so wish I'd gotten a Blackberry or Android. Talk about less hassle.
    I'm running v21.0.0.4, although I feel I might as well be running an Alpha build of S60v5.
    Any other annoyances and bugs, boys and girls?
    p.s. the camera may be its sole redeeming feature - very good photo quality for a phone - takes the iPhone to the cleaners.
    Ovi maps does hit hard on resources but I personally haven't suffered the issues you speak of.
    I can get my X6 to drop maybe a bar (at the very max 2 bars) of signal if I wrap my hands around the handset. Again for me, not a big issue.
    I'm afraid I don't use Spotify or Facebook so can't comment on those issues of yours.
    Knowing what codecs to use helps with video playback using Real Player. A search here should give you the required information. I can run MP4, FLV & WMV quite happily provided they have the right codecs that the X6 can handle. If you want to enjoy m.tvcatchup.com then try installing the 3rd party web browser called Skyfire.
    There are quite a few alternative 3rd party homescreens that can add widget functionality to the homescreen.
    Good luck with your letter to Nokia, I'm afraid I won't be signing your petition. As I said right at the top of this post, sure I have niggles with the X6 but none of them are show stoppers for me and personally I can forgive the X6 most things because I really enjoy the quality of the screen and the capacitive touch interface.
    *EDIT* I almost forgot to ask... is yours a SIM free X6 or a network branded X6?

  • Please add the ability to add multiple folders to the assets folder in order to better organize large numbers of files.

    Please add the ability to add multiple folders to the assets folder in order to better organize large numbers of files.

    Hello KDLadage
    Thank you for your recommendation. I understand the challenges of managing large numbers of files on the My Files page. I also understand the need to preserve project files.
    Perhaps a compromise would be to create an Archive tab under My Files. Previous versions and retired project files could then be automatically moved into this holding area when a new version is published, thus preserving the files in a separate area that is still accessible to the author.
    I will submit this suggestion to our product management team to consider as a future enhancement.

  • Customize "Please update your app from the App Store" message

    Please add the possibility to customize/change this message for the branded adobe viewer to include direct link to the app:
    "Please update your app
    This issue is available for download,
    but requires a newer version of the
    app. Please update your app from
    the App Store."
    Thank you,
    Gennady!

    Himanshu,
    This just happened to me today with the Adobe Content Viewer and a v22 published app.  I updated a folio which was created a while back that was set to "Unspecified" for Viewer Version.  It was created originally with pre v20 tools.  In both the ACV and a published app this folio showed that "Please update your app..." message when trying to download/view the updated version of the folio.  When I got the first update message I was viewing the folio, then I affirmed that I wanted to download the update so it took me to the library view.  After trying to initiate the download/update it shows the "please update" error message.  I tapped "OK" and then it let me download and view the updated folio.  Basically it's showing an error message that doesn't apply.  We know it isn't a v23 folio trying to be viewed by a v22 app because my folio version is not even v20, and also because it still lets me download/view the update after it gives the warning.  When I've made the mistake of trying to view a newer folio with an older viewer in the past it doesn't let me download/view the new folio, it just gives the error message.  Every time I've observed this false error message I've been viewing a folio when I got the initial alert that an updated folio is available.  This may or may not be significant/relevant.
