Skype 7.0 UI: The good and the bad

I accidentally posted this in the wrong thread about the chat UI. Sorry about that, here are two of my opinions on the new UI in 7.0.
Really good: Finally, after several years and many user complaints, I can now see my mood message in Skype's main window again.
For the last couple of years, every Skype user could see mood messages easily except the user who actually wrote them. As the author of my mood message I had to navigate to other screens to see and change it. I'm happy that this has now been fixed.
Really bad: Some come and some go: Now my Skype credit display is gone and no longer showing in the main window! This is essential information, both generally and especially when you were making a call and the credit amount was continually updated.
This information has been there for years. I can't begin to imagine in which way you thought it would be a good and helpful idea to remove this from the main window. Please bring it back in the next update, there is ample space.
To remind you, this was how it looked:

  • Unable to connect my I-phone 4S via wifi from the Air-port express even though the signal is good and all my other devices (macBook air and speakers) are working properly? Already tried to change the channels on the Airport but still nothing.

    Since I've instaled the Airpor express, everithing connected to it works properly, My wifi network signal is good and I able to browse with my mac air, bu with my I-phone 4S even though the signal apears to be good and on the it shows is connected to my wifi network I can't open any web-site, instead I keep getting the same message: "Cannot Open Page - Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding.", wich is not true because I'm connected with my lap-top. The sound wifi system works perfectly but reggarding the wifi on my 4S I've tried changing through different chanels on the Airport (I saw people were having the same problem and aparently by changing the channels on the Airport the internet on the phone worked properly, but I'm still stuck with a brand new I-phone unable to opem my pages) I've also tried changing the Radio modes and still nothing.
    Any suggestions?

  • My Upgrade to Froyo Experience: The Good and the Bad.

    I received a phone call that Verizon was pushing Froyo out, so I was happy, got home from work and started the download, It stated a size of 100 MB and an estimated download time of 15 minutes. The first clue that things may not be quite right was the 45-50 minutes it took to download. I tried to install and within 30 seconds my little droid friend gave up and told me update failed. I tried twice more same results and gave up that night.
    Next day during a break I stopped in what I thought was an ideal area my 3g reception was at a max 5 bars and downloaded the update in 16 minutes, Again my little droid friend quit after 30 seconds, again the update failed, reason previous update failed. Yes, I am very disappointed but I have to make a living, so back to work. Later same day I called Verizon Tech support and I am told to do a Factory Reset: Beware when you do this your phone goes back to the state it was in when you opened the new box it came in, you have nothing; EXCEPT THE CONTENTS OF YOUR SD CARD REMAINS INTACT.
    I tried to install and again my little droid friend got tired after 30 seconds, now I have lost everything in my phone but I also know it is inevitable because the phone is "cursed". I went to Verizon after work, early evening and put my phone in the hands of a very courteous and helpful Verizon man. He said: Please be patient, I will take care of you. I was really tired after a hard day's work so I found a comfortable chair and dozed off, the A/C was really cold and it felt great. When he returned he handed me a new phone and said, I am sorry for the delay your old phone was defective, I already installed your contacts and then together we reinstalled my paid apps and set up my email accounts.I walked out with my new phone with Froyo and was finally feeling better. Since then I have systematically been testing the phone's functions and have being happily surprised with the improvements both small and large:
    GPS locks under 1 minute every time.
    Flash works very well in almost 100% of the sites I chose for testing.
    Phone is faster during transitions, searches and OS functions.
    Average Quadrant Score Before: 890  After 990.
    Camera and Recorder have added little features that are nice, try it and you will see,
    The extra fonts are nice, but for my poor eyesight original is best.
    Battery life remains a question mark, my normal pattern was phone on for 12 hours, light to medium use I return home with 60-70% left. My first full Froyo day was yesterday and I was trying to restore my "looks", apps and testing everything I could think of. With what I consider to be heavy usage I came home after 11 hours with 41% remaining in my battery, it seems to me acceptable.
    I will update this post as I discover both good and bad, so far life after Froyo has been all positive.

    I like the new notification background and the ability to turn mobile data off and auto rotation if I like
    I like how when receiving text messages it notes a count on the icon as to how many new are there
    Not sure if this was the way it was before but in contacts if I swipe a contact in the list horizontally it brings up a quick call or email icon.  Kind of cool
    New scene modes for dawn, dusk and such is nice in the camera
    having a timer icon in the camera menu is pretty cool also
    Ability to limit video for MMS option is very nice
    Not to mention the fact that I can now take pictures much easier in both portrait and landscape orientation
    I can view pics in a stack by thumbnail or by month the pic was taken.
    Having the ability to add a numerical PIN screen password is also a nice feature
    Did a benchmark test and now getting 51 fps after Froyo.  Best 48.7 fps prior on my device
    Still playing and trying to figure out a few things but will touch back.  Hope you all enjoy the upgrade.

  • I tried dowloading Skype yesterday and my Safari browser crashed.  It gives the message "Safari quit while using the librooksbas.dylib plug-in.  I trashed Skype but still have the browser problem.  I also tried logging in under guest, and no Safari.

    Unless your bank's website is insecure, you're fine.  Go up to the Safari "Search" bar and type in Rapport.  You'll be amazed.  It may  "work" on PCs, but definitely not Macs.  And it's not needed for Macs.

  • Goods and Bads with the 6110 Navigator

    Hi
    New user of this forum and a proud owner of a Nokia 6110 Navigator. I had the 6280 but after 2 SW upgrades and still problem with it, I gave up.
    First impression of the 6110 is good, but I found a couple of small things that ”irritates” me.
    1 – The timer function when you write “0200” and press options instead of green (call) button.
    2 – The original headset is too cheap to be an expensive phone like this, should be more like Koss “plug-in-your-ear” kind of headphones, instead of the small “put-close-to-your-ear” thing that is included.
    Also, the straight up cable from the top of the phone is no good. Makes the phone lie bad in the pocket. I also guessing that this cable is going to snap after a while. Why not a 90 degree “adapter” or something?
    3 – When you sending an SMS, on my 6280 you could choose “last used number” or something like that, now you have to choose name, and then number, and then OK to go back to the SMS.
    Well.. that’s it so far. Anyone else have goods and bads about this phone ?
    mvh / regards
    Timmy

    hi im havin same issues!!
    i went from 6280 to 6110 after i smashed it
    1.first off i didnt kno of the timer option...good bcoz it was annoyin not havin a stopwatch
    2. that "recent use list"...lack of it...is annoying. i just made groups of ppl i msg most
    3. menu organisation is confusing
    4. in call history, it only shows most recent time for that entry, ven if they rang 5 times that day, also they dont show call long eg duration of 3mins 40secs
    5. on my 6280, i had a shortcut menu as mi left select button, cant do this now
    6. power button is end call button, lotsa accidental turn offs
    7. cant turn off start up tone
    oh well i still like it

  • I have an Iphone 5S and used to sync it to my computer in the past without any problem, but now I can't and appears the message "usb device not recognized", and the cable is good and so the USB port. Do you have any idea what's the problem?

    Try leaving it plugged in and then restart the computer.

    Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
    So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
    Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
    Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
    Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
    If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
    Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

    Hi Dakota.  We do something simular with our nightly MRP job.  Our MRP job runs around midnight,  then we kick off another job about 4am which checks to see if any of the jobs in question have abended, if so,  then it sends an email to the email addresses specify in the report variant.  Of course, this could be modified to check for successfully complete jobs, if that is your requirement.

  • If my ipad was stolen, how to register my ipad for the stolen goods, and lock the hardware requirements?

    If my ipad was stolen, how to register my ipad for the stolen goods, and lock the hardware requirements?

    It's really disappointing as a newly converted Apple customer who has already had his iPad stolen, that Apple just sits back and let's this happen. 
    I've viewed a number of posts regarding stolen iPads.  Yes, I did have the "find my iPad" enabled.  That's how I knew when the iPad was gone for good.  It's a useless function in the case of theft because the thieves know how to hack into your iPad.  It disappeared from my list of devices in the "find my iPad" utility that very same day. 
    Apple loves the fact that their devices get stolen all the time!  That way they sell more of them.  Theft could easily be significantly reduced if Apple chose to give users a means to report stolen devices on the Apple site.  They choose not to do this.  If the black market for Apple devices was limited to hackers who know they have a stolen device, the items wouldn't be such a hot commodity!  Apple knows this... I guess they want to get their devices into as many households as they can.... Legally or not. 
    So for all you hard working folks out there, find a way to make sure your Apple products are secure because if they get stolen, you're out of luck.  Apple refuses to help when they could easily do so.
