Smart talk and Home Smartphone

I know this is unlikely, although with the app being on the home smartphone I thought it might work.
I wonderd if it was possible to get the home smartphone to be able to use smarttalk.
I had hoped I would have more call screening options on the home smartphone, but this does not seem to be the case. therefore to stop constant nuisance calls Ill have to unplug my phone again., but I still want a fixed option for outgoing calls just in case.
I am fuly registered for tele calls prevnetion I have been through all options to prevent the calls

This phone is a new one on me, so you may have to take this with a pinch of salt. Given that SmartTalk is an app specifically to enable smartphones to charge calls to a home phone account, I'm having difficulty seeing why the Home SmartPhone comes with the app installed. A quick look through the user guide (click Resources here if the phone doesn't come with one) doesn't help.
There may be something in there that helps, but the best suggestion I can make with little knowledge of the phone is to put it on silent mode and let the answerphone deal with callers. That should let you make outgoing calls normally and review any incomers at your leisure.

WiFi at home and Smart Talk

Hello,
I've downloaded the Smart Talk app to my phone, received the e_mails and letters confirming my phone number(mobile) is registered. Checked on-line and it shows me there.
Tried to make a couple of calls while " out and about ", no success, got error message on phone with a prompt to go to FAQ's.
Tried " at home" with the same result. ( via 192.168.1.x phone connects automatically when in range )
Looked for btwifi etc and couldn't see it, or them.
Checked my hub and discovered that BT WiFi wasn't " switched on" so clicked on the check status link and found that I was registered and had used some minutes.
Here's the question:
How do I get this service to work ???? ( and not using the " disconnect everything and restart " option..
System shows I am registered so I don't want to attempt to register again and confuse it even more.
I can't "switch on" BT WiFi at my hub unless I register.
Before registering for Smart Talk I BT WiFi was switched on in my hub.
Cheers..

Connecting to my HH via wireless ( 192.168.1.x ) now works although my BTFON isn't activated on my HH
Here's an interesting point :
I remember that I [ cancelled ] the BT search option about a week ago, you know the one that suggests sites that you my be wanting. Now that I have clicked the [ opt in ] for BTFON the search option has returned.
So........ Does cancelling the search option also opt out of BTFON ?? Opting in brings back the search option..
Are the two linked in some way ??
Remember I was opted in to BTFON before I installed Smart Talk..
I guess I've answered my own question
Unless you know different !!!

One year in USA coming from Italy: i have 1 pc and 1 smartphone LG 5 i need for a convenient plan to talk to Italy and 4 GB for PC. What kind of plan to buy?

Your devices are incompatible with the Verizon Wireless CDMA/LTE network. You might want to look at the local GSM carriers like AT&T or T-Mobile or a regional GSM carrier.

Re: Smart Talk problem.

I also cannot seem to be able to register on the Smart Talk app. It gets stuck on the second step (link to your home phone) as it does not ring my landline number. I called the UK customer service team 0800-800151 who said they are from Broadband tech team so fwd-ed to Smart talk 0800-0113845 to a guy who did not seem to know what I was on about. He said that the app does not work on iOS 8 devices and the issue will get solved later in Feb '15 so I should try again then. Is this true? Has anyone been told this?

Hi Andypre,
Welcome to the community forum. As far as I am aware the BT Smart Talk app should work with iOS 8. I'll be able to help you register the App. Please could you send me in your details using the "Contact The Mods" found in my profile.
Thanks

Mobile phone broken - how do I move Smart Talk acc...

My mobile is broken beyond repair, so I can't use the 'Stop using Smart Talk on this Phone ' option suggested on BT help. I have several smartphones and Tablets registered to use it. On myBT the only option I have against the broken phone is to 'Remove User', but this says I will have to set the service up all over again. Is this what I have to do to be able to register my new phone, and if I do, will it affect all the other registrations?

When you registered SmartTalk on those devices, you had to create a new account on MyBT which was specific to that phone.
If you login to that account from a computer, there is an option to stop using SmartTalk on that phone. This will then remove the phone from your account.
You need to do this for each phone, by logging into the MyBT account for each on in turn. See this picture.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

BT Home Smartphone

The Bt home Smartphone, not the latest S model has a BT Smarttalk app on the home screen.
trying to set up is the same as the normal BT Smarttalk app available for mobile phones.
I understand that the app for mobiles allows users to connect the mobile to the wi fi signal and they then get billed as if it was a normal phone call using their home phone.
What I cannot understand is, Why is it on a BT Home Smart phone.???

Hi toekneem,
Thanks for posting. Basically, you can take your phone with you if on holiday etc and connect it to wifi and use the app but if you like or need the app on the phone you can simply delete it.

Thanks for the info DavidM.
@Keith_Beddoe. Registration was what was giving me grief. I have not used the original smarttalk for over 18 months, but all I ever kept getting when trying to register it was errors.
BHome Smart Phone help finally said that it would not work with the current Andoid 2.4.3 Operating system and the operating system was not going to be updated. New Smart Phone just came out Smart Phone S with Jelly Bean firmware which it should work on.
A few choice words about selling a phone with a BT app which does not work and now the phone is on its way back with an RMA.

"Extra" Internal Hard Drives won't mount - swap, /, and /home work.

Hello All,
*** I'm updating my post finally. Sorry it's so long, I'm not entirely sure what is and isn't relevant.
*** Also I think it's a mix up with RAID causing the issue, as I'll address below, but in case I'm wrong I wanted to include the other information that came to mind before I noticed the RAID issue (because the RAID issue doesn't make a lot of sense to me).
First off, I'm running Arch64 and KDE4 with my system up to date. Also I have Gamin installed and not FAM. I use ReiserFS on all of my partitions and drives.
I have six hard drives in my computer, all of which are SATA drives. One is a WD 150GB Raptor with my swap, /, and /home partitions on it, the other five are for extra storage on what I call my media-server (they mount to /media/media-server/1 ,2 ,and so on). They only have one partition each. Of those five the first (/media/media-server/1) is a WD 1TB drive, the other four are WD 500GB drives of identical model.
All of the Raptor's patitions, swap, /, and /home mount just fine.
On top of that the 1TB drive mounts just fine. But the four 500GB drives will not mount at all. They show up in Dolphin, Disk Utility, KwikDisk, KDiskFree, and Partition Manager. However, their size is not shown and/or marked N/A, except in Partition Manager, where their size is shown. They are not seen by 'df'.
Output from 'df':
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 10M 308K 9.7M 4% /dev
/dev/sda2 25G 7.7G 17G 32% /
none 4.0G 0 4.0G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda3 112G 90G 22G 81% /home
/dev/sdb1 932G 919G 13G 99% /media/media-server/1
*** As for removable media, it's being a bit odd. When I first wrote this post removable media, specifically USB flash drives and SD media cards mounted fine. A while after that they'd show up in Device Notifier, but wouldn't mount. Just a little while ago they wouldn't show up in Device Notifier and wouldn't mount. Now they show up fine and mount fine again. This is possibly unrelated, I'm not sure.
Depending on what method I try to mount my hard drives I either get an 'only root can mount that' error or else a HAL drive busy or already mounted error, followed by a 'drive is not mounted' error when I use umount to double check.
*** Permissions are working better now , Dolphin isn't giving me the 'only root can mount' errors anymore. Still can't mount the drives though.
All of this output is from when the drives are listed in /etc/fstab:
Konsole output:
mount /dev/sdf1
mount: only root can mount /dev/sdf1 on /media/media-server/5
sudo mount /dev/sdf1
mount: /dev/sdf1 already mounted or /media/media-server/5 busy
umount /dev/sdf1
umount: /dev/sdf1 is not mounted (according to mtab)
sudo umount /dev/sdf1
umount: /dev/sdf1: not mounted
Dolphin output:
An error occurred while accessing 'MediaServer5', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied: Device /dev/sdf1 is listed in /etc/fstab. Refusing to mount.
Device Notifier output (pops up when I try to mount the drives in Dolphin):
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied: Device /dev/sdf1 is listed in /etc/fstab. Refusing to mount.
Partition Manager:
The file system on partition /dev/sdf1 could not be mounted.

This is from when the drives are not listed in /etc/fstab:
Dolphin output:
An error occurred while accessing 'MediaServer5', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.InterfaceLocked: The enclosing drive for the volume is locked
Device Notifier output (pops up when I try to mount the drives in Dolphin):
An error occurred while accessing 'MediaServer5', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.InterfaceLocked: The enclosing drive for the volume is locked
I have tried listing (with the UUID method and the /dev method) and not listing the drives in /etc/fstab, and I have 'hal' and 'dbus' daemons in /etc/rc.conf (and I've tried using only the hal daemon and not the dbus in /etc/rc.conf). I've also tried not listing 'hal', 'dbus', and 'kdm' and only booting to terminal and then mounting the drives manually, that doesn't work either.

I attempted to add the other drives to /etc/mtab but they get overwritten upon a reboot. I've drived mounting the drives from konsole and dolphin.
All my drives used to work. At one point I had Chakra installed and had this issue after an update, however after thinking about it the problem may have actually started after the power flashed on and off here. I couldn't fix it so I installed Arch64 and KDE4 (the normal KDE from the Arch repos, not KDEMod) thinking maybe it was a Chakra specific issue. That fixed it at the time. It later happened on my Arch install. I reinstalled Arch again and the issue was gone. However the issue is back. Again I think it was after a power outage/flash but it was also after an update that included a kernel update. Best I can remember each time it's happened has been after a kernel update and power flash. So I can't say for sure which is the cause.
Oddly though if I boot from a live disc (in my case a Chakra Live DVD) I can mount and access all of the drives just fine.
Another oddity, is that in 'Disk Utility' (palimpsest) there is a 1.5TB RAID-5 array listed. The only thing I can figure is that that is what is making the individual drives busy.
Here's a screenshot from Disk Utility of the RAID-5 array:
http://theavataroftime.com/sites/defaul … enshot.png
After talking to a friend I remembered that quite a while back (over a year) we had messed around trying to setup a RAID array and dual boot WindowsXP. However, we never could get it working quite right, not even just in Linux without dual booting. I really can't say what all we did/tried, it's been too long. I realize that's not much help but...
Anyway I'm pretty certain I deleted everything RAID related at the time and turned it off. However I must be mistaken or I guess the array wouldn't be showing up.
I apologize, I really know nothing about RAID or RAID controllers. I do have an onboard RAID controller, but it's not a full fledged hardware RAID controller. It's onboard, but doesn't have it's on proccessor like good hardware RAID would. Or that's the way I understand it. Perhaps 'hybrid' is the proper term?
I checked in BIOS and my onboard RAID controller is off.
I take it that my attempts at setting up a RAID array before are still in the MBR (on that note I use GRUB and have never used LILO)? That's the only place I can think of that any leftover RAID configurations wouldn't have been wiped during reinstalling and reformatting the drives and partitions? I've reformatted my drives completely and changed the size of swap, /, and /home on several occasions since then, as well as formatting the media-server drives to ReiserFS (not sure what FS I was using when trying to setup RAID before. Perhaps FAT32 since I was trying to dual boot).
I clicked the stop array button in Disk utility, and then all the options except start array went away. Then I clicked start, and instead of my four media-server drives being listed at the side of Dolphin there was one 1.4TB drive. I rebooted and now it's back to the 4 500GB media-server drives.
I'm worried about losing a bunch of data, so I'm hesitant to start experimenting. How should I go about getting rid of the remnants of the RAID array safely?
Also here's a screenshot of MediaServer5 from Disk Utility. The other 500GB drives have the same info minus the names and labels of course:

*** I had forgotten about dmesg output. It's quite long so instead of copying it, here's a link to it:

Thanks for advice on the matter.

Is there a way to make Movies and Home Videos show up in different sections on the apple tv instead of showing the home videos mixed in with the movies?

I have several movies and home videos stored in itunes, when viewing these on appletv, it mixes all the movies and home videos together.
I would like to beable to select either Movies or Home Videos when viewing on the Apple TV if this is possible...?

You have 2 options:
1. Create Video Playlists in iTunes (for example create one for Home movies, the other for Movies)
You COULD make these Smart Playlists. (see below for one technique)
NOTE: If you wish to do this don't miss the preference in Settings to enable Video Playlists at least (at least in the latest ATV updates) I believe it's under Audio setting. Amazingly the default is NOT to show!! (had me going for quite a bit)
2. Set up your Home Movies as "Music Videos" This has some gotchas: like you'll probably want to choose the skip when shuffiling, also Now they'll appear in music lists. The only advantage to this is that it makes playlists more available on iOS devices since there are no Playlists displayed in the Videos App.... (yeah Apple's made this WAY confusing of late)
If you wish to keep these clearly defined (especially for use with Smart Playlists.

Droid Turbo talk and surf at the same time

Hello,
So I just brought my Droid Turbo home and have started testing it. I bought it knowing that it only had one antenna, but I had read that a new update was pushed that allowed for simultaneous talk and surfing. My software update is up to date (21.44.12.en.US), and the notes on the update even mention this feature was included in the update (why it is a "feature" and not a standard is beyond me). I just tried it again, and I can't surf and talk at the same time. Can someone explain this issue; is it only possible when using advanced calling over XLTE? The discussions I could find on here were all dated 6 months ago (before the latest update).
Thanks.

Yes, they both have to have Advanced Calling for HD voice to work....but that is not what the OP was inquiring about. You can do simultaneous calls and data with the Turbo with ANY other phone (cell or landline) as long as you have Advanced Calling enabled on your phone. The HD is an EXTRA feature that makes for better call quality if both have Advanced Calling, but I assure you that you can make regular voice calls the same as with any other device, AND use data calling any cell or landline once you have it enabled on the Turbo.

Smart Talk not working with Bluetooth since update

I have been using Smart Talk for many months now on my iPhone. I have a bluetooth headset which I generally use.
This has worked fine (with the exception that when I get an incomming call it disconnects the bluetooth from the Smart Talk call).
But now, since installing version 1.28.0, Smart Talk is not working with my bluetooth headset at all. When I first make a call the headset is connected - I hear ringback tone. But as soon as the call is answered, the headset disconnects and the call is transferred to the iPhone itself. And the Smart Talk app does not give me any options to select the "audio source" (as it does if I make an ordinary mobile call).
As I almost exclusively use the headset, this latest update has made Smart Talk unusable for me.
Is there anyway I can get back to the previous version?

I worked out the problem... I'm using iPhone 4S iOS7
- Start BT Smart Talk from in car
- call someone, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, no bluetooth connection
- kill and restart BT Smart talk
- call someone, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, no bluetooth connection
3rd call, always no bluetooth.
It seems there is no way to select the output like with all other bluetooth devices too

How can I duplicate a smart object and then edit it, without affecting the original?

I have a vector element from illustrator that I am placing in a tshirt mockup in photoshop. I have the layout essentially how I would like, but I am trying different color variations. I would think to just duplicate the first placement and then edit the color of the resulting copy, but this affects both the copy and the original. I looked into it a bit further, and found that I should try the "replace contents" option under smart objects, and that this would change the copy. So I go back to illustrator, made a copy of the original vector, and then made the color change I had in mind, and then saved it as a separate document that I could then use in replacing the contents of the copied. This however, is still affecting both smart objects!
I have tried this as both linked smart objects and embedded smart objects without success.
Ultimately, I simply want to maintain the position of the original layer with the duplicated and edited layers. If you know of a better way, please share!

I'm on CC on a Mac.
What 21 is talking about is making some sense.
I am able to create new smart object via copy, then create a variation on the original file linked in the parent smart object. Then I save that from illustrator with a different file name. Then I go back to photoshop and replace contents of the new smart object, linking it to the newer illustrator file.
This gets around the problem, but it takes a few more steps than the same thing did it in earlier versions of photoshop.

Can i establish wifi direct between lg smart tv and imac 10.6.8?

can i establish wifi direct between lg smart tv and imac 10.6.8?

In order to do that you will need an AppleTV, you can buy them refurbished from Apple for $75.00. I just got one and love it. I have a fairly large DVD library (about 400 movies) and music library (500 + albums), with AppleTV I can now stream that content to the the link to the refurbished unit is:

EDIT:Whoops I misdirected you. To stream content from the TV to the computer you will probably need a third party device like and Elgato box. I can only refer you to their website at: http://www.elgato.com/eyetv

Will the iphone 5s support talk and data simultaneously?

Will the iphone 5s support talk and data simultaneously? Didn't hear anything about it so just want to confirm.

No.
(I'd put the link up but I think Verizon would delete/edit my post).
From a New York Time's piece, "It was Apples decision to design the iPhone 5 so that customers could only make voice calls and do Internet activity simultaneously only over Wi-Fi, not over Verizon cell network."
The reason why...
"The explanation for this, it turns out, is complicated. The technology in 4G LTE networks does not currently handle voice transmissions; it only does data. So when you place a phone call on a 4G LTE smartphone, it’s actually rolling back to the carrier’s older second- or third-generation network, according to AnandTech, a Web publication that does deep analysis on hardware."
