Skype 6.22 is okay but missing key features

I almost get the impression that the programmers do not use skype. If they do, they just use it internally amongst themselves because if they did, they would see the features they have removed in the sake of making it easier are in fact making it more difficult.
Point 1: if you are doing any sort of world commerce, you like to know what time the person you are talking to (im or voice) has locally. Case in point, North America is still on daylight saving time where as Europe has already moved their clocks back on hour. Not being able to see if they are still within their "workday" is a problem because you don't know if they are at the time they said you would meet with them. Also, if the person is travelling and you don't know their timezone, seeing that they are sleeping is nice as you don't wake them up at 3 am Hong Kong time when you think they actually in their normal time zone.
Point 2: What happened to the save as when receiving a file. Why do you have to go through many more clicks to save a file now? Whose bright idea was that? Don't they understand that your enhancements ARE SUPPOSED to make things EASIER, not more DIFFICULT.
Point 3: What happened to good UI design? Placing an entry field with the same border colour and background colour as the surrounding background is just plain BAD. Yes, the UI is designed for visually impaired users (the blue colour is a colour good for colour blind users), however, even they will not see the input field area to type in a phone number.

Update to post: After having to revert to my phone to skype while I had a problem with my laptop this morning I noticed the UI of the phone is exactly what I see on the desktop. Hence the problem. The design team needs to get the head out of the sand and see how people actually do things. A phone is not a desktop and a desktop is not a phone. Stop designing things for the lowest common denominator! They have hidden numerous things to try to look and feel like the phone versions. That is just stupid. You would have thought they would have learned from their minders (MS Corporate) grand mistakes with Windows 8. But nope, they have thrown themselves off of the cliff like lemmings. If is as though they have forgotton that they can easily detect what they are building for and how to use conditional compilation. I will bet you a donut, they will not listen to those who actually use this stuff to do things. But as someone who does shell out money for some of the features (long distance calling overseas to non-skype users), I would hope they would listen.
As for the save to, that is a bug in that it should not change the existing settings to something different.

IPhone is "Up-to-date" but missing key new 3.1 features

Sooo wth?
iTunes and my iPhone says that its up to date with the latest 3.1 software but there's none of the key new features, like MMS. iTunes is most up to date and when i click "check for update" on my iphone, it says its up-to-date.
does anyone know what the problem is?

Depending on your provider, MMS might not be supported at this time.
see this page: http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#messages.sending-and-receiving-messages
Turn MMS messaging on or off:
In Settings, tap Messages, then tap MMS Messaging to turn it on or off. You may want to turn MMS >Messaging off, for example, to prevent sending or receiving attachments when fees apply.
NOTE: The MMS Messaging setting doesn’t appear if MMS isn’t supported by your carrier.

OS X Lion's Mission Control is missing key features of Expose

Who else agrees that Apple has missed the mark with Mission Control? It's a seemingly good idea to categorize windows by application in Mission Control, but there is now no way of seeing ALL open windows at once. For instance, I usually have multiple windows open from a single appkication, such as Safari. In Mission Control, I can only view my Safari windows stacked on top of one another and have to click each window individually to see it. Apple, PLEASE bring back the all open windows view that Expose used to have. It is one if the most crucial tools for window management. Until then, I'm going back to Snow Leopard.
Who else agrees that Mission Control should show all open windows, without stacking them on top of one another?

I think some perhaps do not realize that many people miss the actual spaces in combination with exposé. It was quite powerful for those of us that need to constantly access and shift around multiple apps. While I understand there are many users that have adopted the pad mentality, I for one still use a Wacom tablet for everything—including browsing the web—as do many other professionals. Mission Control is a catastrophe for this, and generally for everything within my workflow. Photoshop follows every desktop I move to, which is super annoying, and is a prime example of how much of a joke mission control really is (blame adobe whatever...still horrible). But more importantly, I can drag an app to a desktop, but NOT from a desktop into my current desktop. This is fatal to productivity when working in programming, 3D, compositing, design, etc..
I am pleased to hear there could be some evolution taking place with Exposé; regardless of my personal views. Anything is better than what we have now. A touch pad dominant environment may be the wave of OSX future to many, but to me it's only one step closer to soley using Linux based operating systems.
Sorry for the long post... Hopefully a few of you that have never worked in this way can see how it goes beyond just Exposé from certain perspectives... RIP spaces . Exposé is only partially as good without them imho. Open spaces > then exposé while in spaces mode > move one app to one space, another to another, put anything exactly where you want it, all without closing out—meanwhile being able to see literally every document/app perfectly clear.

I would like to detect all the keyboard key is okay, but not every key can be detected by using LabVIEW example, keyboard keycode

I would like to detect all the keyboard key is okay, but not every key can be detected by LabVIEW example ( we can use 『basic input demo.vi』to detect normal key』.
I want to detect some 『hot key』 for example some keys exist in the upper part like 『search key』、『e-mail key』、『volumn control key』...etc. They are very often to be watched in some new keyboards, but we still don't know how to detect if their functions are okay.
Can we detect signals of these 『hot key』 in LabVIEW? We can apply these hot key's functions in XP, so we should detect their signal, I think, but I can't do it.
I serach some information about this question, and somebody said we can detect hot key's signal by grabing 『keybode』 these hot key feedback. But I don't know how to do these. I can't use VC. So anyone can give me a LabVIEW VI to grab keycode? Or any other solution we can detect all the key on the keyboard, including hot keys?
Thanks!
Regards,

Maybe that is the limitation of Acquire Input Data.vi.The vi can't identify the Unformal key.
You can try to use Event structure and set to listen "key down" event.
There are two terminals VKey, ScanCode will sent out the information when you press key.
There are two pictures in attached file, 2.jpg will show you the detail.
Good luck.

So I updated to OS X Maverick(s) and backuped my harddrive and got a new one installed, everything seems okay but some things are missing in my settings like the software update icon. Does anyone know how I can get it back?

So I updated to OS X Maverick(s) and backuped my harddrive and got a new one installed, everything seems okay but some things are missing in my settings like the software update icon. Does anyone know how I can get it back?

Okay so I asked someone from apple and they said that the software update icon is gone but its functions have been merged with the app store icon on the settings menu. Crisis averted haha!

Missed Key Press

I first noticed missed key press after installing and later removing Bootcamp.
After several months of missing key presses, I uninstalled Internet Explore.
The missed key presses were gone (unnoticed) for more than a week and then they started intermittently.
After the Bootcamp removal and before the Internet Explore removal, I would notice the cursor flash about 10 times and stop. Then the next key press would miss.
After Internet Explore removal, I have not seen the cursor stop, but I still get missed key presses. I tested it just now, counted 100 cursor flashes and the next key press missed. Repeated 100 count again and key press okay.
Summary:
Missed Key Press:
iMac 17", OS 10.5.8
After Bootcamp uninstall, missed key press after 7-10 cursor flashes always.
After IE removal, missed key presses seemingly random.
I seen old posts (2006 - 2009) about missed key press which were archived without answers.
Any help would be appreciated.

Capslock blinking twice and then repeating is a diagnostic error message that means that the BIOS is corrupt.
Try a hard reset as follows:
1) Remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
2) Press and hold the power button for more than fifteen seconds.
3) Plug in the DC power adapter (leave the battery out for now)
4) Press the power button

Missing key in OCR, can't set interfaces with oifcfg

(also posted in Metalink Unix Installation/OS: RDBMS Technical Forum)
I have installed clusterware on a 2 node cluster running RedHat 5.
OCR and voting disks are on raw devices, but everthing else is shared using GFS.
I can start both nodes but I can't seem to add interfaces through oifcfg.
In fact the SYSTEM.css.interfaces key does not exist in my OCR.
I applied fixs in Oracle MetaLink Note #414163.1, but when I try to do oifcfg to set my interfaces
I get a "registry key does not exist" error.
[root@ora2 bin]# ./oifcfg setif -global eth0/128.159.132.0:public eth2/172.16.5.0:cluster_interconnect
PROC-4: The cluster registry key to be operated on does not exist.
PRIF-11: cluster registry error
[root@ora2 bin]# ./oifcfg iflist
eth2 172.16.5.0
eth0 128.159.132.0
Checking the oifcfg.log I could see it was trying to update key SYSTEM.css.interfaces
2008-02-05 17:36:12.504: [ default][2897118400]OCR api procr_open_key failed for key SYSTEM.css.interfaces
I did a dump of my OCR and confirmed that this key does not exist.
I even tried regenerating my OCR with ./clscfg -install. The new one is exactly the same as the old
just different time stamps.
So now I am stuck. vipca won't run until the interfaces are defined and oifcfg won't them
because the OCR is missing a key. Does anyone know how to create this key in the OCR?
Does it need to be there?
I have thought reinstalling from scratch but I do not think anything will change as the only
thing that creates the OCR is clscfg -install in the rootconfig script.

in the $CRS_HOME/install/rootconfig, some people comment out a section that Fails. Specifically this section.
if $CH/bin/ocrconfig -upgrade $CRS_ORACLE_OWNER $CRS_DBA_GROUP;
then
$ECHO "Oracle Cluster Registry configuration upgraded successfully"
else
$ECHO "Failed to upgrade Oracle Cluster Registry configuration"
exit 1
fi
DO NOT COMMENT IT OUT.
$CH/bin/ocrconfig -upgrade $CRS_ORACLE_OWNER $CRS_DBA_GROUP is what writes these keys. People get the failed error when it fails the root.sh and decide to comment it out. Everything looks like it completes, but thiis key is not there. Instead, get the patch below which replaces the clsfmt.bin on all nodes. Uncomment the code in your rootconfig and that should fix you up. Good Luck!
PATCH 4679769 has the fixed clsfmt.bin
Also, check the permissions on your disks! Sometimes that causes it to fail as well.
Also, if on RHEL5, you will need to do the unset on LD_ASSUME_KERNEL in the vipca and srvctl files under $CRS_HOME/bin (which is fixed in 10.2.0.4 so no uncommenting needed)

The dialer in lumia 800 is missing key critical fe...

I have had my Lumia800 for about 5 months now, and I am not happy.
Previously I have owned both Iphones and android phones, and WP7.5 - or Lumia800 - is way way behind these phones on even very simple features.
I could mention a whole list of key features that I am missing, but I will restrain myself to the dialer and some privacy issues, since they are for sure driving me back to the competitors on my next phone purchase.
Dialer:
The dialer in Lumia800 is featurewise at the level of a 1995 phone.
A simple feature such as presenting the last digits of a previously dialed number - when the phone is trying to guess what you are dialing - or being able to seek a number in your list from the alphabetic keys, is something i have buy an app to get. This should - as a minimum - have been included as standard at launch date!!!
I was even expecting some new and innovtive features as well!
Also. When somebody allready in my list has called me, I only see the name in the "recent calls" list. If the name has 3 phone numbers attached to it - like Home, Work and Cell - it is not possible to see which of these numbers that person called me from. So when I try to return the call, I sometimes end up having to dial all 3 of them before I get hold of them.
Now, that is just plain stupid.
Also, it takes way way to many interactions with the phone to even get to the phone app - which simply MUST be the killer app on a mobile phone.
Privacy!
To my very big suprice and anger, all my phone numbers were automatically put on the internet, without my knowledge - when i transferred them from my Android HTC. I only accidently found out.
Now, I dont care wether it is supposed to be an accoount that only I can access, since we all know how good the hackers are. I simply have absolutely NO interest in having my contacts, photos, sms's or ANY other stuff from my phone ANYWHERE on the internet.
That I cannot put a contact into my phone without having it synchronised to the internet is nothing less but a scandal.You consider it a feature. I consider it a serious breach of and attack on my privacy!
On even the newest Iphones I can synchronise directly between my PC and my outlook or any other contact management system with an Iphone interface made for it - without being connected to the internet at all.
Why in heavens name can I not do that on a NOKIA Windows phone????
NOKIA, make it happen!
Thank you!

Hi cestla,
Thanks for posting and Welcome.
You raise a number of questions on making calls with the Lumia. The first I can see how that might be desirable for some, I suggest your visit this site to make your request known.
The second point is actually implemented. When you look at the call history you will see the callers name (or number if the name is not known) and on the line below that the call status, call data and the number used. If you select the entry to re-dial it will use the same number used for the original call.
The number of actions needed to setup a call depend on which way you choose to do this.
Call tile on startpage > Keypad Icon > Enter number
People tile on startpage > Select person to call > Select number to call
Press and hold START > Press speak > say 'CALL Pete Mobile' (speech functionality depends on localized availability)
As to your comments on contact information there are options available for keeping these offline. For instance you can use a Google account to copy the contacts to your phone, then set the account to not sync contacts (and/or calendar) with Google and remove them from the online account. You can also choose to use a (private) Exchange server.
Also I assume you are aware that most if not all other smartphones like iOS, Android and Symbian devices will synchronize your contacts and/or calendar information to their cloudservice just like Windows Phone does with Windows Live.
While I can understand ones reservations to some extend it is a much more convenient way of synchronizing as it will not require you to have access to your PC and keep your contacts and calendars in sync 24/7 without required interaction in a secure enviroment.
Hope this helps,
Kosh

T530 - Is there a way to program the "Fx" function keys to do what missing keys did? Print screen Break, etc? Running Windows 7 Professional

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Check in BIOS -> config -> Keyboard if there is an option to switch between default and legacy mode.
If you don’t find that option, you may try the Fn+esc combination that changes the function keys to legacy mode, but when the computer reboots, it might reset back to a default mode and you have to use Fn+esc again.
Hope this helps!

Mithun.
