So far my experience with BT infinity 2 is not goo...

I am having terrible trouble with my bt infinity 2 that i got installed last tuesday. i am getting a line speed of 75mbps which is great when it works. I mostly use it wirelessly with the dual band dongle supplied or sometime just with my laptops normal wifi.
I can be surfing the internet fine then suddenly it will just not load pages and i have to restart my computer and wait for it to load again then it will work. the page just stays blank and the loading icon just keeps spinnning.
ALsoi the home hub 4 light often changes from blue to with the red broadband flashing then i have to unconnnect the red ethernet cable in lan 1 and keep switiching cables until i can get the lan 1 light back on.
i phoned the Indian call centre which is not very good for help. they said there is nothing wrong with the line and told me to swap the cables about.
has anyone else had these problems ???

Red flashing on the H3 means it can't negotiate a PPP connection, which could be a faulty hub or something at the cabinet/exchange/BT end. I would assume it's the same with a HH4.

My Experience With "Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed"

About two months ago, the Apple store hit me with the, "Your Purchase Could Not Be Completed" message when I tried to rent a movie. I tried the obvious remediation steps, like switching the credit card, changing the device, and even trying a different Apple ID. Nothing worked. I contacted Support, and initially, I was told that I violated one of the T&Cs in the Apple Store agreement. I pressed a bit on Support because I was confused (what did I do wrong?), and then I received a message to try my purchase again in 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the problem went away. Hurray!
Since then, I have run into the problem perhaps 15 times. Each time, I have contacted Support, and each time, I am told to wait for 30 minutes as the appropriate changes had been made to my account. I've asked, but so far, I haven't received an answer to my question about the core of the problem.
One thing to add -- when the problem pops up, usually one week after the previous occasion, the problem affects every device and Apple ID in the house. I wonder if the problem is related to me.
When this probem first occured, there were very few mentions of it on the Internet. Now, two months later, there are 2 pages of Google hits.
I hope this helps! Hopefully the good folks at Apple get enough support calls that they triage this weird problem.
Good luck from me, my MBP, iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, and iMac!
paul

usually the message says something like "your purchase could not be completed. for assistance contact itunes support"
in any case, doing so is going to be the best thing / http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

T500 Problems and experiences with Lenovo's technical support / EZServ

After some issues and numerous calls to Lenovo's Technical Support, I just thought I would share my experiences here.
First off, I currently own a ThinkPad T500, which was designed to be a replacement for my older ASUS laptop.
While the ASUS laptop is still running okay, I have had a hard time trying to get the company to properly warranty the laptop. (they would make falsified claims that nothing is wrong with the laptop, so that they would not have to replace any parts - and when they do replace parts, they would simply create another problem and totally ignore the described problem.) The experiences were so stressful and disgusting such that I am sick of arguing with the company any further. My decision on the ThinkPad was based on that IBM/Lenovo is designed to serve business class customers and theoretically should have "business-class support". For this very reason, I have added the best warranty service they was offered to me at the time (3yr onsite + accidental). I am just guessing at that time I just wanted to get away from small companies and go to a company that would back their customers' laptops.
As soon as I got my hands on a T500, however, I have noticed that something is wrong with the card reader. Apparently the reader on the machine would not read SDHC cards (it does read SD cards, however.) This is a problem because I only use SDHC cards and the machine was not able to read any of them. As the card reader controller is manufactured by the same manufacturer (Ricoh) and my older ASUS laptop was able to read SDHC cards, I thought something odd was going on with my machine. This was also based on the evidence that other T500 owners were able to read SDHC just fine.
In addition to the card reader, I was also having troubles in which the machine would freeze whenever Nero Burning ROM (a CD/DVD authoring software) is used.
My first support call to Lenovo was not that pleasant, given that I was placed on hold for 20 minutes when the rep was looking up specs for SHDC compatibility. The rep also said that they would not troubleshoot 3rd party software and would not help me on the issue. I was also told that I should also call back during "regular business hours (apparently until 5pm EST, or 2pm PST (my time)" (despite that the technical support hotline is open 24/7) so that a supervisor can handle my case. This makes it very difficult for me to get to someone with any authority as I am usually busy throughout the day until late afternoons (~4pm PST -> 7pm EST).
Nevertheless, my second call to Lenovo was much more pleasant. The rep handled my case in a timely fashion and promptly provided replacement parts indicated by my problem. (Onsite motherboard replacement for the card reader, and a separate shipment for the DVD-RW drive). Turns out that the motherboard replacement did fix the SDHC issue, although the freezing problem was not caused by hardware failures, but rather a faulty driver that was corrected after Lenovo released an update months later on the Intel SATA controller drivers.
Five months later, after having to use a broadband WWAN card for my work, I also started to notice there is something wrong with the broadband WWAN card. The card used is the Ericsson F3507g card (or the AT&T broadband WWAN option). Not only would the connection be very flaky, it would also drop connections fairly frequently. It seems that a SIM card pull to another card would result in a perfect connection and ever since I have been using an addon card instead to use the Internet. When I confronted Lemovo with the problem, the experience was worse than the first one. I have made at least six service calls to Lenovo and everytime the reps will waste my time with basic troubleshooting which I told them repeatedly that I have already done (I have even reinstalled the OS but it seems that it does not matter to the reps). Here are some things that are repeated over and over:
1) Can you uninstall the Power Manager Driver and the Wireless WAN drivers and reinstall them?
2) Can you go on to our website and download the WWAN drivers (document ID: MIGR-70000 - I even remembered this number since it was repeated so many times) - and the Power Manager Driver and reinstall it?
3) Can you go to Device Manager (the rep would go step by step to it even though I told him I already know how to get there), and see if there are any "bangs" (exclamation marks) on any of the devices?
4) Since you were able to connect to the AT&T network, then from the hardware standpoint there is nothing wrong with your card. This indicates there is a software configuration or a driver problem. (I have been trying to acquire the latest drivers but what I have was already the latest)
5) Since your card could connect to the network, you should contact your provider for help. (AT&T blames it on the card)
6) I'm sorry but there is nothing I can do to help you. You should contact your provider about the card (despite that I acquired the card from Lenovo and not from them)
7) Are you sure that your card is activated properly? It doesn't show in our systems that the card has been activated properly. You will need to call both AT&T and the Lenovo activation hotline (whatever this is) to have your card work properly. (I have never heard of this before)
Despite telling these reps I have an addon card that works perfectly and that I have done all the basic troubleshooting already, none of them are really willing to give me a replacement card. They would either request that I send my computer back to the depot (which I do not want to do since I use this laptop everyday and that's why I have onsite warranty), fail to help me, or transfer me to someone else that makes me do all the troubleshooting all over again. (Every call I made to Lenovo can be said to be composed of at least 20 minutes of basic troubleshootings with the end result of not being able to help)
After having the case escalated to a team leader, I was told that someone would give me a call within a few hours since their team leader is with another customer. Result? No callbacks. Not within a day, nor two.
Called Lenovo again, they apologized, but samething happened - supervisor on the line - promised another callback by a supervisor - but nothing, nada!
Called Lenovo a third time - was again told the same thing, but I am not falling for that anymore - the rep finally agreed to give me a replacement, as well as as to send out a technician that would fix the LCD cover that is starting to get loose on one side.
At that time, I was so frustrated and this reminds me of the pain I have went through with my old ASUS laptop and their grumpy customer service. It just seems to me that it has to be that difficult to have anything resolved or fixed. (What is especially frustrating is that the basic reps do not have any authority to make any decisions, 90% of the time I will need to be transferred to a supervisor of some sort before my case can be handled successfully - which is hard at times given that I only have until 2pm PST to call them)
Received replacement, but did not fix issue. I have noticed that the GPS (which was part of the WWAN card) also has problems getting adequate signals for a 3D Fix. I have once again called Lenovo, this time raising the concerns with the GPS and seeking for help. Along with the basic troubleshooting, here is what Lenovo has to say about the GPS issue which frustrates me even more:
1) uh, G..P..S? what GPS? (most reps I call say this, shows me that they either don't know what a GPS is or know that there is a dedicated GPS builtin on the Ericsson module. Perhaps they don't even know that ThinkVantage GPS existed)
2) You will need to have active service in order to use GPS (I do have active service, but nevertheless that statement is false since a 3D fix can be successfully acquired with a dummy card - I guess the rep has no idea what he/she was talking about)
3) That's a software issue - you need to call AT&T and tell them about the problem (Again, I guess the rep has no idea that the GPS is not linked to AT&T's networks - there is a dedicated GPS on the card that allows the ThinkVantage GPS tool to acquire proper GPS signals) (Also, why would AT&T troubleshoot a tool that Lenovo made called ThinkVantage GPS? - I don't get it)
4) You need to uninstall, and then reinstall the Power Manager driver and also the latest WWAN drivers. (I did that, did not work - I have told them I even reinstalled the OS from scratch)
5) You need to go uninstall, and then reinstall the Wireless LAN drivers (although I am talking about wireless WAN, not LAN)
6) There are two wireless adapters in your laptop? Are you sure about this?
7) LAN, or WAN? What are you referring to? (I guess some reps are not aware what WWAN means)
After dealing with the numerous reps that have no idea what I was talking about, I have decided that I would just take the machine into depot, which would give me a chance to explain the other issues I have with the machine as well.
Here are some of the issues I am having with my T500 right now (please comment if you have the same issues or perhaps have a possible solution/workaround for it)
1. The left side of the LCD cover has a pressure point, which causes the cover to dislodge from the rest of the panel slightly when pressure is applied from the back side of the cover. (Could be caused by closing the lid, for example) - IBM technician applied some adhesive to the inside, which helped it from dislodging, although the left side is still a little filmsy compared to the right.
2. This error randomly pops up at infrequent intervals: "Display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
The latest GFX driver is installed and all updates have been installed. OS has been reinstalled but problems still occurs infrequently.
3. This error also pops up at infrequent intervals: "Active protection is not functioning as system detected the abnormal sensor status. To diagnose the sensor device, run PC DOCTOR DOS - HDD Active Protection Test and if it still shows, contact Help and Service for repair." The only problem is, my laptop only came installed with PC Doctor 5 for Windows and when I run it"
I ran a sensor check in DOS using the diagnostic CD and the sensor checked out okay. This error seems to happen mostly after I changed a setting in the Active Protection System software. (ex. changing the suspend time, etc)
4. By default, the internal microphone does not work. In order for the internal microphone to work, the Advanced multi-stream mode must be enabled in the SmartAudio control panel. If both redirection options are enabled, the internal microphones and the speakers would then work normally. However, the hotkey controls on the ThinkPad would not control the right device when headphones are plugged in (since headphones are classified as its own device when the Advanced stream mode is enabled) - Mute and volume controls thus only controls the internal speakers' volume, and have no control whatsoever when headphones are plugged in.
5. The brightness on the T500 is rather dim. I am not sure if that's how the monitor is, but I can hardly see anything unless the display brightness is close to the max setting. I have the 1680x1050 matte screen.
6. The WWAN card does not make a stable connection to the network and ThinkVantage GPS does not acquire a 3D Fix even when under direct sky for >20 minutes. What is interesting though is that if I turn off the monitor screen (Fn+F3) or close to lid, the WWAN connection will be very stable and GPS will function normally (acquire fix usually within 2-3 minutes). If the monitor/screen is turned back on after a GPS Fix is acquied, the signals will quickly deteriorate and the updates will either become delayed/inaccurate or a fix will be lost. The brighter the screen, the harder it is to get a fix or a stable connection. (At the max setting it is almost impossible to get a fix while at the lowest brightness a very weak fix can be acquired - this is the case even many sattelites have been detected) Perhaps something with power consumption? Or the LCD drawing too much power?
7. Although it does not happen very frequently, pressing Fn+F3 to turn off the display might cause the LCD to flicker on and off non-stop.
8. This used to happen more with the older version of the Lenovo Fingerprint Software - but sometimes the software tends to get stuck at the welcome screen after returning from sleep/suspend/standby mode. The screen will remain at Please Wait forever and a hard restart will be required to get back into Windows.
9. At frequent intervals the sound from the internal speakers would stop working and only the headphones would work. The sound might, however, come back if I leave the headphones plugged in long enough and unplug them. Restarting the Windows Audio service will temporarily restore audio but the same issue tends to happen again soon after that. Driver issue? (I am not sure if it's relevant, but I tend to put my computer to sleep instead of shutting it down)
I have explained all of these issues on a piece of paper that I have included in my shipment to Flextronics. I have also included in big letters to make sure that they do not send the laptop to the address where they originally sent the "box" to. This is because I am only at that address a few days during the year and I don't plan to be there most days during the year.
On the first day, it seemed that the status changed from "Machine being repaired" to "Hold for customer information".
Apparently I missed a call from a number with an area code of 901 (which is Memphis, TN - I assume this is Lenovo's support center, since this is where the package was sent to). No messages were left on the voicemail. Called the number back, but was however told that I dialed the wrong number and no one has ever called me on this number (the lady on the phone was quite rude too) I then called the 800 EZServ number instead, turns out that they wanted one of my passwords which I gave them.
The evening after I saw that the machine was successfully repaired and that it is being shipped back to me. However, no tracking number was provided. (There still isn't a tracking number on the EZServ status page)
Hoping that my machine was repaired in good condition, I took a day off so I would be able to wait for UPS to deliver my laptop.
Such that I have something to work with, I called the EZServ # and see if they had a tracking number for my shipment. At the same time, I asked what components were replaced and/or what components were installed to the system. To my surprise, they reimaged the whole system and I was not even informed about this at all! (I do understand I checked the Yes box in the problem description page, but I felt that it was important that the repair center let their customers know before their data will be destroyed - luckily I imaged my laptop right before I shipped it out so I have a copy of my data) In addition, it also seemed that they did not read any of the pages I enclosed in the shipment since nothing about the WWAN card was ever mentioned, despite special emphasis placed on this when I called Lenovo to have my computer sent back. It seemed that the rep only recorded one of the problems I listed above, which was unsatisfactory.
The repair process was disappointing, as I have included in my problem description that I have previously tried reinstalling the whole OS from scratch and the problems did not go away. Reimaging the system will also probably have no effect on the problems I have described in the problem description.
What is more surprising to me though was that they totally skipped the notation I put on to have the notebook shipped to an alternate address relative to the box address. To make this impossible to miss, I miss drew a big * and circled it many times so that anyone would see it if they were reading the sheet. I found out shortly after checking on the UPS website that the city the package was being shipped to was that of the wrong address, and not the city of that of the alternate address. I was horrified after knowing that the package would not arrive today but yet I still took a day off work. (How disappointing?!)
Again and again, I called EZServ to see if I can have the package intercepted so it can be delivered to the right address. An intercept was placed on the package, although I received a call 30 minutes later from UPS saying that the intercept failed since the package has already been delivered. UPS also told me there is no way the people living there can simply return it and continue on with the intercept. Not happy with what I am hearing, I called EZServ and see if they can set up a pickup request to have the package delivered to my address. The first rep hanged up on me shortly she answered. The second rep called UPS, placed me on hold for more than 20 minutes, then hanged up on me. The third rep called UPS, and told me that they have esculated the case and that "UPS will handle everything", whatever that means. (she refused to disclose any more details). She told me that I would be receiving a call from her shortly on the details on the upcomings and promised that I would be receiving my laptop back. As with Lenovo, I didn't receive any callbacks. I called EZServ once more, and all they would say is tell me to wait. Sick and tired of waiting and calling and not getting anywhere, I drove 100 miles to where they shipped my laptop and picked it up there. I just don't know whether to trust the EZServ people anymore....
As far as the laptop goes, I didn't have time to open the box or to test it yet. But I will let you all know once I have taken a look at the results.
While the past experiences have been painful, I haven't lost all hope in Lenovo yet - although I really think that the customer service can really improve on certain levels.
Please give me advices on what to do next!
Thanks for reading this!

My experience with the Z2

Hi there!
I decided to register on this forum as to be able to share my personal experience with the Sony Xperia Z2 thus far.
To start i want to make it clear that i personally believed this phone offered a rather good experience at first, unfortunately like some other users i too started to notice the phone had its issues which needless to say take away from this 'great' experience it has to offer.
So lets begin.
The first Sony Xperia Z2 i received had a lot of issues, this one was a 14w20 version:
- The device had quite a few scratches on the sides OUT of the box, which nearly made it impossible for me to return it .......
- The MicroSD flap was not leveled and would stick out very noticeably
- The Camera lens was not centered
- The phone had gaps in the upper right corner and the lower left corner which were also very noticeable
- The phone would not record 4k longer than 2 minutes before it would heat up ( tried multiple times )
- The pictures would have a very strange colour to them, sort of neon'ish
- Charging was extremely slow, i specifically used your standard usb cable and i used the Z2 dock, neither had effect
- The back side would make a very annoying squeeking sound when pressed, even slight pressure would do so
- The WiFi would be terrible, since i travel a bit i tried it on different networks with pretty much the same results at home and at the office, my other devices have no issues whatsoever nor have they ever had any issues like this device
- The call quality was rather mediocre, quite a few contacts noticed during calls that they had to concentrate more in comparison to my other devices as to understand what i was saying
- The 'close cover message' which pops up once you open your flaps would appear out of nowhere, whilst my flaps were closed properly
To be honest with you there were other issues as well but i think the upper list is rather enough to understand the interest for a replacement.
And so i did, i had this one replaced for another one, i was barely able to convince my supplier to replace this one due to the scratches it had which they would not believe were present on the device out of the box.
The second Sony Xperia Z2 was also a 14w20 and.. unfortunately.. it too has issues :
- The gap issue is present on this one as well, same locations as aforementioned but a tad smaller
- Recording in 4k now has increased up to 4 minutes before it stops recording, i find this unacceptable
- The mechanism for open flaps is a good idea were it not for the fact that this device also keeps saying the flaps are open. When they are not I could configure it to stop notifying me but what if some day i go swimming and i believe the flaps are closed since the device does not say they are open and i take a dive? I find this very inconvenient ..
- Call quality has not improved, my contacts say it sounds muffled and after asking my partner to switch our phones and try calling i totally agree it sounds muffled and one has to concentrate as to understand what the other side is saying ....
- The WiFi issue is present on this device as well, now i noticed that i have to shut it down and power it back on again as to 'fix' the issue with streaming, i experience it on YouTube, Netflix, Facebook videos and others.
I also noticed that it d/c's often than not, i tried downloading a 10gb file as to see what happens and it literally stopped
more than i can count. My other devices do not have this issue... tried this at home and at the office as well.
- The battery charging issue continues on this one as well, to be sure that it is not related to the electricity at home i took the dock with me everywhere i went and charged it where i could, needless to say it did not matter at all
I encourage people to test their phones and decide for themselves and not just buy into what i am saying, remember this is my experience with it and yours can be different.
For me, unfortunately.. i will be returning this one as well and will consider purchasing something else but nowadays it seems personally that quality is hard to find..
/xiLuS

I'm far from impressed with mine. Very similar issues and also a cracked bezel. Unless my issues are resolved I'll be going back to an iPhone. At least if there is a hw problem they swap it out there and then. None of this sending away and being without you phone rubbish.

My experience with the N97 - "my last Nokia"

Hi everyone,
I know this is a user-to-user support forum but I believe a complaint to be some sort helps users to decide whether the N97 is for them or not. Before you read on, this post will contain comparisons to competitors, so if you hate apples, feel free to ignore me! (Also I don't think users should stop harassing Nokia for what they have done to us - the more complaints the better. Igoring customers is not a very good corporate strategy. Eventually it will take them down - people buy Nokia for quality, otherwise they could buy a rip-off from ebay).
Just skimming over the posts shows me that I am not alone. So let me share my experience with Nokia and the N97. I am too tired complaining about this phone, at least I think my experience has made sure that no-one of my friends and relatives is ever going to buy a Nokia again.
When I bought the phone for then 500 pounds at the Nokia flagship store in London it seemed nice enough. Good camera, decent keyboard and features competitors could only dream of. Unfortunately, that's paperwork. For a start, the much advertised facebook application was completely disfunctional and taking into account that Nokia clearly tried to compete with the iphone (my apologies again for mentioning a competitor) frankly a lame joke. I know a firmware update has somewhat relieved the situation now, but I will come to that later.
Okay, so I have disabled the facebook application. Not a drama, surely the rest will work okay. But then after a week some of the pictures I took with the built-in camera weren't accessible anymore (broken image displayed). Again, I have another camera and I was hoping for a firmware update so I ignored it. I had now started using the joikuspot app to browse the internet on my linux box. Very nice. I started using email a lot on my phone but again was disappointed. I have a £165 ipod touch here. Without kinetic scrolling and an extremely bad UI design, by which I mean the icons and menus (ignoring the graphics flaws all the time) it is no match for the ipod, so what i did was to use joiku spot with my ipod touch. Before that firmware update the N97s browser was also still buggy so I used joikuspot for that too. I was now down to using my £500 smartphone as a wireless modem. What a shame. But I was still hoping for some kind of magic update.
Then finally, I found out about the firmware update. I had to open my phone, check the serial and visit the Nokia website. Unfortunately, the Ovi software and drivers supplied with the phone did not recognize my N97 properly. Something which I think was fixed with the firmware update (anyone seeing a circular dependency here? ) Furthermore, the built-in firmware update over 3G seemed to be disabled. So I made the journey back to the flagship store in London, explaining the problem. I was greeted by an extremly rude employee. Well, I think that's not really his fault, I guess he was just sick of all the complaints. Anyways, I told him that the 3G update was not working and he started to be really patronizing telling me that I wouldn't listen to him (he said it was "working" but "disabled"). Maybe I should have told him that I am a software engineer and that in 99.9% of the cases in which we disable a feature, the reason is that it is "not working". Anyways, he kindly allowed me to use one of their machines to update the firmware "at my own risk", which worked. At no point I have received an apology for the fact that I have paid Nokia £500 to beta-test their products.
Now of course, the firmware update has succeeded, but is all fine? Far from it.... As many report on this forum the N97s battery meter is faulty. Countless times, my phone has just literally died overnight. It even forgets time and date! This is more than bad - every phone I have had so far complained about a draining battery well in advance. I had to dig out my old phone to serve as an alarm clock again - the fact that the alarm clock itself is unreliable is a alltogether different matter... One time the battery died during the day - after doing nothing for 4 hours in my sports bag (started with 1 bar down). When I had to make a call that day, for the first time in I don't know how many years I had to use a telephone box. Progress?!
The firmware update has also barely improved the email client - just a few ui glitches solved. However, the biggest issue at the moment seems to be the weird memory organization. When I buy a phone I don't want to deal with something like the c drive problem. Reinstalling applications on the 32gb partition helps somewhat but why didn't Nokia do that in the first place? Has this phone never been tested?The phone is still way too slow.
I can't comment on the iplayer app - says it needs wlan to work. But the youtube player has crashed every time i used it. And by crashing I mean it took down the whole phone with it. I admit that my ipod crashed a few times too - in just under a year (~3 times). But the reset was straightforward every time. With the N97, the only thing that seems to help is to take the battery out!
Before I forget, the N97 doesn't even work as a phone. In a 30 minute conversation, the call got dropped 4 times. I don't know whether it was because of a calibration issue with the proximity sensor or a more serious problem, all I know is that this is unacceptable!
I am sick of the phone and Nokia's service. The joikuspot app ran out and asks me to pay... I have paid £500 pounds for the bloody phone already. The adobe reader asks me to pay... (somehow it ran out without me even using it). Maybe you see why I am getting angry now - the only use case that actually put the N97 on top of my old phone was gone. What infuriated me even more, is that Nokia bundles this software with the phone. It cannot actually be deinstalled! It just sits there merrily and takes up my hard drive space.
Last but not least, I have written to Nokia already, but not received a response! This is a Nokia forum with Nokia employees following the posts. I would be very, very, very grateful if Nokia could give me a refund. However, with them not even acknowledging the various problems I somehow don't see that coming. I'll probably have to sell it with a massive loss on ebay.
Cheers,
Will
P.s.: I have all the same small issues as the other guys here - slider lock at the side not working etc. You are not alone... Has anyone complained about the music player? I have 16gb of music on the phone and scrolling is impossible! The Symbian OS is so obviously not built for a touch screen that it hurts. Of course they don't put much music on the phones in the Nokia store so people only find out when they get home...

Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi ! the nokia n97 is a really an amazing device. It keeps up to the promise of live online 24 x 7. I discovered it and wanted to share. Still there are some unanswered questions and if any vetran could help would really appreciate.
i am an user from India. and have the n97 for about 3-4 weeks now. Practically I have been living online 24 x 7 as The list of unexpected issues that a nokia n97 offers seems unending, some of which i am narrating have made me scout on the web to try n search answers.Not that i will be able to action information you provide instantly. My new phone has gone for reparis(sic), so once its back can do that & will acknowledge your replies.
My Quests:
1. First things first! How to request for & get refunds for a Nokia Phone in India.
2. Is there a touch querty as an input method? like windows mobile ? Request Know How. I now seem to agree to the feedback on one of the blogs.. that nokia designers feel that the average size of user hands would be that of big people & fingers like a japaneese teen. The physical keyboard does not seem to offer any additional functions other than text input !
3. Predictive text where in the touch screen menu, the words dont get auto completed. This increases the number of taps/input strokes. Is the n97 intelligent & learn words from sms, contacts, emails. my blackberry does so. Request Know How & any options to edit custom dictionary. Auto Punctuation ? Am i expecting too much already ?
4. Single hand use of phone impractical using touch pad t9. Entering alphanumerics on the physical querty is a nightmare... Request Know how on tips & tricks.
5. Green tick yes or v button on top left of the text input screen. friendly again only for big handed people. Could this have been at bottom right. Is alternate screen for text input touch t9 available? Requested Know how.
6. Unnecessary taps additional taps alomost in all menus...for eg.. sending a biz card from n97 requires 5 taps... in the other mobile phone systems it can be done in 3 taps. Requested Knowhow for shortcuts.
7. Can In a nokia we get a view of the entire events as single thread.... No Provision for search display against keywords upon I can get call logs, messages - Here in Nokia, no search filters / advanced search and all searches results plotted to applications vs person/events. Requested Know How if it can be done like blackberry / windows mobile.
8. Copy & Paste across applications. eg. Select text from web page copy n paste on message application.... possible on Nokia...? Requested Know How
9. Call& Event Logs e.g Missed calls. If there are 5 missed calls the log will show the last called time only. In most other mobile systems Blackberry, windows each event is logged against a user. Requested know how on how this is handled in Nokia.
10. Lag in picture display upon call. Number displays first and after few seconds lag the pic pops up. Is this normal & acceptable ? Other windows / rim devices show it instantly.
11. When will Nokia enable usage of Native clients like google talk, yahoo like blackberry, iphone ? Any know how on possibility of release. Any equal alternatives suggested for n97. Tried Nimbuzz, Fring, Ebuddy. Miss the chat message notification icon on home screen, notification on the chat messaging icon, sound, breathing lights.
12. Is there any planning for better email client? Likely Release dates?
13. The Java App for GMAIL on blackberry shows an indicator on icon in addition to customised alert setting tone & breathing light for new messages. Retreiving Emails is consistent & auto on other devices. The Nokia Does not seem to auto refresh + No Notification. How is it handled on Nokia ?
14. Can user friendliness be something where we can do actions with a contact or on contacts screen single view... e.g see contact on google map, Help on contacts screen/n97 help, lookup contact on server, filter by category. new address, new group, view, edit, delete, activity log (incl sms, mms, email, calls), call, sms, mms, email, send as attachment, send as im, add a custom ring tone, add picture, options - sort by, separators, sync settings, actions, switch
applications, exit. We have seen it on inexpensive phones. is it possible to be done on Nokia?
SOME OF MY STILL UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS Post upgrade to ver 12. Did you also face similar bugs/issues?
15. Contacts inaccessible – “Memory Full Error”. No other applications were active at the time of the error. Just unable to reach any of my 3500 contacts through the contacts options & do anything.
16. Pbk2 error upon selecting contacts in the messaging application.
17. Audio Delay upon receiving a call. No Sound upon connection of incoming call. Especially if picked up too fast.
18. Shows as searching for network constantly many times a day. We have 2 n97s & observed that both n97 almost have similar timing of network loss. Whereas, our other devices like blackberry do not show any weak signal signs.
19. GPS Lock. Keeps searching for GPS locks constantly i.e Drops connection to GPS network frequently.
20. Unpredictive battery talk time, standby & required Charge time.
21. Voice inaudible at other end, when using loudspeaker & especially during calls from moving vehicle.
22. Camera:
a. Picture clarity issues. Secondary camera highly pixelated. Primary camera shows light flooding on pictures. Clarity Missing.
b. Erroneous Time stamp on images.
c.Lens Cover Started to show minor scratch pressure.
23. Ovi Suite recommends erroneous updates for E.g Maps 3
24. Text Input touch t9 screen freezes / Hangs, especially when entering special characters like period(.), comma(,), exclamation (!) etc
25. Selectively & at random contact Name not displayed on Caller ID (sometimes)
26. Selectively Message & Message delivery display number, instead of stored contact names.
27. Sync Issue, All contacts not synced always.
How to sync "categories" field as stored in outlook or how to map custom fields to Nokia.
28. Format Mass Memory error, Unable to format. Unable to delete specific files.
29. The auto lock... When attempted to unlock with querty out .. it still opens in portrait mode ?
30. SMS Logs Not updated. e.g any sms sent before storing a contact.... after storing or adding
contact the number does not get automatically updated to the name. It reflects the number still in the logs.
31. Picture caller... The face is half cut ..Looks weird on most images... as the number is not transparent. In landscape mode there is enough space on the screen to put up the answer or reject buttons and displaying the numbers.
32. Browser will close on its own & return to menu or home screen.
thanks in advance for your time to stop & read. Pls do send any information that you think will be useful to me for making the n97 do some work.
NEW additions:
(tested on another n97)
33. Predictive Text :
Usage for auto word completion only on physical keyboard, when the Dpad down key is used it throws up options but the way the scroll is designed you can see the full word and one makes mistakes.
34. another strange behaviour is on the text input... this was on an email i was trying to reply. the stylus touch will paste the last keyed in word !! we wonder why.
35. and while showing off the second n97 we have (again 3-4 weeks old) - we were asked how much did we pay for this second hand unit - 50% off .. apparently the comment as the surface has got scratched very badly.
i hope the info is good use to others who want to take the risk of buying this device

My Experiences With The A Series NW-A867

Having owned this Walkman for about one month, I thought it may be helpful to share my experiences with it. Earlier, I questioned this particular model on this post here: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=12708
First, I receive very little software support for this model at all. x-app will not install on my non-Japanese Windows 7. Due to this, I have no ability to create playlists to transfer to my Walkman. Due to one neat feature of this Walkman I will describe below, it turns out that this is a minor inconvenience for me. I also downloaded the Content Transfer application from Sony of Japan's website. This utility does install and work on my version of Windows 7. It's more of a convenience app though. It does offer the ability to check for firmware updates for my Walkman. This makes the utility worthwhile.
I mentioned above the inability to create my own playlists for my Walkman. The Sensme feature makes up for this (to some extent) by creating random channels of my library I can select. The first channel of this feature picks songs based on the current time of day. For this reason, it is important to set the date and time of the Walkman. The random channel feature has not played a repeat song for me yet in all the time I have listened to my Walkman. I currently have 6,605 MP3 files stored with 5.61GB free, so I have a decent sized library. The Sensme random channel is nice, but it is not perfect. The 'Picks of The Day' channel usually plays moderate to up-tempo songs. This channel is featured from 10AM to 4PM every day. However, for some strange reason, Miles Davis' Flamenco Sketches from his Kind of Blue CD was chosen to be played on this channel. This song did not fit in with the mix at the time at all, so I'm not sure why it was selected. Other than this incident, the random channel feature plays songs of a similar tempo. It does appear that genre is ignored, so it's not unusual to have any type of song played in a mix.
I usually have the song shuffle feature turned on unless I am listening to a complete CD. This allows me to select a specific genre of music and hear a mix of only that genre. I can also select a specific artist to hear a mix of only that artist, and so on.
The video feature I do not use at all, so I cannot comment on it.
One complaint about this Walkman is the ear buds. These are constantly falling out of one ear. Also, the ear buds must be inserted fully into your ears to hear a full sound. If they are not pushed into your ear firmly, you will hear a sound lacking bass. I have to push the ear buds into my ear every so often, because they come out on their own. Any headphones will work with this Walkman, but for the built-in noise canceling feature, you must use the supplied headphones. Sony does not appear to sell headphones separately that are compatible with this noise canceling feature.
This Walkman does not appear to be an MPT compatible device at all. It appears to work only as a UMS device. At least if there is a way to configure it as an MPT device, I have found no way to do it. The difference between the two here is that some features are not available via Windows Media Player through Windows (such as playlist creation and transfer).
So far, I am impressed with this Walkman. I see nothing else on the market that compares to it feature for feature, size and storage capacity.

Thank you for your post and detailed observations which I'm sure will be very useful to anyone contemplating purchase of NW-A867.

New Customer - Have had MISERABLE experience with Verizon service and Customer service

I am a brand new customer of Verizon Fios and so far I have zero good things to say about it. If it wasn't for the aggrevation of switching cable companies, I most definitely would go back to Comcast.
I moved into a new home in the middle of April. The previous owner had Verizon Fios in this house, so there was minimal installation that had to be done when I initially set up my cable. My house was pretty much empty at the time, so we had the TV's set up where we had a place to put it (upstairs, kitchen, and living room). We recently bought bedroom furniture, so we could now move the TV to where we initially wanted it, in our bedroom. However when we tried to hook it up to an outlet, no picture came though. This is when my awful experience with verizon customer service (or lack there of) began.
I took time out of my work day to call Verizon about this problem. I was on hold for about 30 mins until I actually heard a human's voice. He was unable to help me since I was not at home to unplug and plug things back in.
I called again when I was home, this time I was on hold for about 20 mins (wow)... the first person could not help me, so she transferred me to another department... put on hold for 35 mins.... this perosn couldnt help me either and they transferred me back to the SAME DEPARTMENT I WAS INITIALLY TRANSFERRED FROM.... put on hold for about 45 mins... finally i speak with someone that knows what they are talking about. Of course I have to go through all the same steps that I did the first time which did not work. As this person decides I need a technician, he begins to look up available dates... and then after an hour and 35 mins on the phone, it gets disconnected! I wait for 5 minutes to get a call back but I get NOTHING. I spent now 2 hours trying to deal with this and verizon doesnt even call me back when its their phone that gets disconnected? Thats terrible.
I call back after 10 mins and am put on hold right away (obviously).... after 25 mins of being on hold, shocker - the call is disconnected again.
That was enough for one day
I call back again the next day... same old thing... put on hold for 30 mins, talk to one person who cant help me, transferred to another department and put on hold for 20 more mins.
Finally with the tech department who says they are going to schedule a tech to come out to fix the problem but also mentioned they are going to charge me $55 for this! Are you kidding me?????? Verizon wastes about 4 hours of my life and busy day and then has the nerve to say they are going to charge me for it? I asked the person several times if I could speak with a manager or supervisor, they never let me. I asked multiple times and she just said that they wouldnt be able to help me and that the charge would stick.
I can't imagine that anyone would treat a brand new customer like this. I will not recommend Verizon to any one until I see some kind of help or REAL customer service from them.

I did call them this morning, and still on the phone.
I will say this - the reps are very friendly and do try to help in earnest. That's been my experience overall with Verizon. So in terms of the actual people, I give them an A+.
In terms of their system and how they process things, they get a big fat F. The very idea that I sent back a phone with accessories and their warehouse only registered the return of the phone pretty much says that there is something fishy going on there at the warehouse. And it took an hour to sort this out so far and counting.
The thing that bugs me about Verizon is how complicated it is to get everything straightened out.
Right now, they are trying to sort out the activation fee - I already have been charged one and now they are trying to figure out if i have to pay another one. Another 15 minutes just on that.
Everything has been resolved. Thankfully, Verizon's saving grace is that their reps are nice people.

Strange classloader experience with toplink-essentials on Oc4j-10.1.3.3.0

Hi,
I am teaching classes at the Eotvos University/Budapest on a topic where OC4J has been used for 2 years. Students use jdeveloper (regularly updated) to create webapps with EJB3.0+toplink backends. They test their projects first with the JDeveloper embedded OC4J, but after that they deploy it on a central server running standalone OC4J.
Students make quite an intensive and versatile use of the OC4J server, a noteworthy stress-test you may find interesting! The server is a Ubuntu Linux with JDK_1.5.0_14.
1. The first known issue is that after about 10 projects are deployed (small class projects 3-4 EJBs, 3-4 JSP-s each), oc4j regularl goes into a "runaway" mode, i.e. the CPU utilization of the JVM process goes up to 99-100%. Static web content is still available, but all applications stop responding. I can state pretty safely that the applications deployed are fairly harmless and it is not even necessary to run them to make this happen. I.e. after 10-15 apps are depoyed it is enough to start the admin-client.jar or the admin console to experience this problem. (The applications have no problem individually: last year after these issues occurred, we installed them individually for grading and nothing like this happened).
Let me point out that SO FAR this happened with Oc4j-10.1.3.1 and Oc4j-10.1.3.2 only, and this was the main reason we swithed to Oc4j-10.1.3.3.0
2. Another issue that exists both with the earlier versions and 10.1.3.3.0 is that applications need to include the toplink-essentials.jar explicitely if they use EJB3.0 entities. It appears to me that this should not be neessary as there are default definitions for that in config/server.xml (a shared-library definition for toplink-essentials), and in config/system-application.xml (a corresponding import-shared-library tag), but still their applications cannot be deployed because of the follwing error:
Deploy error: Deploy error: Operation failed with error:
HiĂˇnyzĂł osztĂˇly: oracle.toplink.essentials.ejb.cmp3.EntityManagerFactoryProvider
FĂĽggĹ' osztĂˇly: com.evermind.server.ejb.persistence.PersistenceUnitManagerImpl
BetĂ¶ltĹ': oc4j:10.1.3
KĂłdforrĂˇs: /opt/oc4j_101330/j2ee/home/lib/oc4j-internal.jar
(On our machines, JDK displays some errors in Hungarian: HiĂˇnyzĂł osztĂˇly=Missing class; FĂĽggĹ' osztĂˇly=Dependent class; BetĂ¶ltĹ'=Loader; KĂłdforrĂˇs=Code source.)
To fix this issue, we used a workaround, i.e. their orion-application.xml is regularly extended with something like:
<library path="/opt/oc4j/toplink/jlib/toplink-essentials.jar"/>
And this solved the problem. Can you explain this?
3. Now, with 10.1.3.3.0 this did not help much either. Although the toplink-essentials.jar was found, another nasty exception happened in the server still during deployment:
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: oracle.toplink.essentials.platform.server.oc4j.Oc4jPlatform.<init>(oracle.toplink.essentials.internal.sessions.DatabaseSessionImpl)
at java.lang.Class.getConstructor0(Class.java:2678)
at java.lang.Class.getConstructor(Class.java:1629)
at oracle.toplink.essentials.internal.ejb.cmp3.EntityManagerSetupImpl.updateServerPlatform(EntityManagerSetupImpl.java:309)
Apparently a class in toplink-essentials.jar (version 2, build 41, i.e. the one that comes with oc4j) cannot properly invoke a the constructor of another class IN THE SAME JAR.
I checked everything, even unzipped and checked the class signatures, and also made sure that there is no other toplink-essentials.jar in the classpath. Still the error remained.
FInally, I tried to add the above libary tag to $OC4J_HOME/config/apllication.xml instead of the applications local orion-application.xml, and - voila!!! - it WORKS now!
Can you explain all this to me? From the documentation the location of the <library> tag in the descriptor files should not amke any difference, but still it seems to do.

Seems to be a bug. That was the response from Oracle support (Metalink)
Response:
Your issue seems to be related to bug 5594702 - Abstract: EJB30 ENTITY BEAN WITH @ID AND @COLUMN ANNOTATION FAILS TO DEPLOY ON AIX.
There is an issue with the IBM JDK/JRE 1.5's processing of annotations.
Links:
http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=37764
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/dw_thread.jsp?forum=367&thread=112543&cat=10
When processing annotations it returns boolean values as false.
Work-around:
Fully specify the @Column annotation's boolean values. If insertable and updatable are set to false (which will happen due to this bug) then TopLink sets the PK
mapping to read-only and the exception seen is expected.
Note: nullable attribute of the @Colmun is not used in the EJB3/JPA preview of 10.1.3.0 If the customer MUST override the default column name then they should use:
@Column(name="column-name", insertable=true, updatable=true)
If they do not wish to override the default column name then simply do not use an @Column annotation.
It can be deleted or commented out in the JDev generated code.
There are two reported annotation processing issues with the AIX JVM. One was fixed in SR1 and the other is fixed
in SR3 (due out Oc 11 - today). Upgrading to these more recent JVM releases may also address this issue.
RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS:
1. Upgrade the IBM AIX JVM to SR3.
OR
2. Fix all generated @Column annotations as described above

Experience with creation of a large number of key figures

Hi:
I have a need to create a large number of Key Figures (at least about 50 of them) for DP use. Do you have any experience with automating this task if so, can you share your experience? Thanks.
Satish

Hi,
So far we have not come across a need to automate KF creation. And 50 KF is not a huge number, it would take may be a couple of hours to create them. Also, since it is a one time activity, developing an automation script for the same does not sound useful. You might want to consider creating them manually so that you can ensure all settings are proper.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards

Experience with W530 and Ubuntu

Is there anyone here who uses Ubuntu (13.10) as their primary OS on the W530?
If yes, what has been the experience?
1. Did everything work (specially the finger print login)
2. Any other driver issue etc.
3. Stability / Speed of the machine?
I have been using windows 8 till now but I am sick of tired of the bad UI which is totally un-usable

My experience with the W530 has been poor.
I am running Xubuntu 13.10 and previously ran 12.10, I did dual boot for a couple of months and then changed to exclusively use Linux.
I understand that the fingerprint reader does work but this is a feature that I do not use.
I have the hi-res screen that is a beauty! .. I use it as a photographer, am impressed.
The dual vieo display cards creates significant problems. With the latest Nvidia driver (now, after one year) VGA output is supported but to get VGA output *and* power savings on battery operation one needs to be very clever! Nobody mentions HDMI.
The screen calibration system (works great under Windows) doesn't work and will probably never work under Linux.
The built-in microphone system does not function.
Prior to purchasing the machine the support people told me that the W530 fully supported Linux. That is nonsense. There are no Lenovo patches to fix any of these problems a full year after my purchase.
The on-line tests that I read regarding the system on Linux indicated that in essance everything was working. It is possible that under OpenSUSE or Fedora I might be ahead in some areas but I am not prepared to take the gamble without some very strong assurances.
My take: The fragmentation of Linux creates a situation whereby basic hardware runs just fine but specialty beasts like the W530 are just so far out of the mainstreem that neither the hardware manufacturer or the Linux developers have the time or the energy to bother with the product.
Conclusion: nice machine ... or would be if it could be made to fully function.

MY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH CHAT AND VISION

In my personal e-mail I received publicity inviting me to purchase a Skype credit gift card. I thought it was a nice offer and I happened to have a friend that had the need and could use such a gift. I procedeed to purchase a $10 dollar gift card, I did the transaction from Colombia and sent it to my friend in the US. Shortly after the purchase I received a message warning me that my order was being under security scrutiny. I found it unexpected and unjustified (Is my $10 dollar order a security risk of some sort?), but I thought that maybe it was because it was an international order, and I understand the need for security in online transactions, so I decided to not worry, trusting in the spotless service that I have had from Skype up to that point. At that moment I noticed that the one providing the service was no Skype but Chat And Vision (whose website, by the way, looks far less friendly than Skype's).
Then I received an Email telling me that the order has been rejected. No justification, no explanation. Just a politely worded but most unhelpful and uninformative e-mail. It made a point of telling me that they didn't retain the payment, yet my card was charged and no refund has been made so far. I replied the e-mail asking for a reason, and how to get a refund. I received the automated reply telling me that somebody would contact me the next day. It's been a day and no reply so far.
Searching online I found mine was only one in a long list of blunders and poor service from Chat And Vision. The complains on forums and online outnumber the claims of good service. Mine is a very small case compared to other complains I have read about. It was a small purchase for a smal amount, but it turned into an unexpectedly unpleasant experience for something that should have been a simple purchase ( Am I really such a security risk that I can't be allowed to place an order for a gift card?)
In the end I feel that I was snared into a trap with that offer. I trusted, I paid, didn't receive the goods, haven't yet received the refund, my friend really needed that gift and had to do without, which caused him inconvenience, my high regard from Skype has been tarnished, and I'll hesitate to make new purchases of Skype services in the future, if they keep being powered by Chat And Vision.

Some updates: I received two e-mails from Chat And Vision, regarding my two questions as to why my order was rejected and how to get my money back. These are the answers:
The first one (Ticket ID: PBF-650-80186), says: "Thank you for your email. Firstly, apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused to you. Unfortunately, due to security reasons I am unable to divulge this information. However, should you wish to make another purchase with us again, we will try to process your new order instead".
Polite but uninformative. Notice that beyond an unfocused general apology it does not acknowledge any problem nor does pledge any improvement, just a vague statement that they may allow me to use it's service again if I choose to try (not exactly reasuring).
A second answer to a second e-mail says: (Ticket ID: SVN-701-71147) "Thank you for your email, please be assured the money will be refunded back to you."
That's all. Again polite but no useful information, just a vague assurance of refund, somehow, someday into the indefinite future. If it happens I'll post it here but I'm not holding my breath.
Reading other answers from Chat and Vision posted online here and on other forums dealing with their service, there appears to be a pattern of politeness, vageness, refusal to acknowledge problems and absence of a pledge to improve. Their costumer care seems designed to placate the user without promising to get better, and is so devoid of helpul attitude that it makes me believe that their messages are redacted by a software program, and consumer complains never reach any administrative person. I might be wrong but the doubt has been sown which is a shame. Up until now I was very vocal on my praise for skype, recomending it to family and friends as a very useful and good service, but this experience with Chat and Vision, and my discovery of their costumer service history online, has set me thinking about looking for alternatives to Skype, and certainly has dissuaded me to recomend Skype to anyone ever again,or at least while their sales are still managed by Chat And Vision, or at least while Chat and Vision continues its customer service attitude, polite on the surface but haughty and unhelpful underneath.
If there are new updates I might post them here, but for now I will not pursue the matter further since the amount involved was small and I see no point in sending more e-mails to Chat and Vision. I just feel bitter that the great service that I felt was Skype has ben tarnished by this experience. Just some final thoughts:
I do not complain that my order was scrutinized by security reasons, I understand the risk of illegal activity on online transactions, and the need of online companies to be careful, but the process Chat and Vision used seemed overly unconcerned for the confort of the consumer. It took around a full day for my order to be scrutinized and then rejected, which did let me for a long time in the dark not knowing if my gift would reach the friend I wanted to give it to. This is 2014, does Chat and Vision not have the tecnology to do a better and faster process? Do they scrutinize online orders by hand? I have read more cases similar to mine here on this forum, which to me implies that Chat and Vision are overly and unnecessary zealous on their security procesess. ( Also it is jarring that they seem to consider their clients to be criminals, for no reason at all and with no opportunity to contest the charge.)
If they are going to reject a transaction on security reasons, why not do it before the payment is processed, not after, which can be stressful to the consumer that gave the money and didn't receive what was advertised, for no real reason. Seems to me there is a mistake in the way the system is set, or there is a clear disdain of what the client might think or feel.
I think that's all. Thank you if you went all the way thru this overly long rant. If you are a consummer beware that when you buy services from Skype, you are not buying from Skype but from somebody else and that somebody else does not have a spotless record. If you are an administrative person from Skype or Chat and vision, I hope you eventually prove me wrong about your unconcern for the welfare of the consumer. My experience so far is not encouraging but that may change.
Have a good one.

The CP1525 does allow you to print envelopes.There are two trays that can be used. I will describe only using the lower tray. Normally this tray is used for standard paper. To use it for letter envelopes, you need to pull out the tray and then make some changes. Take out all of the paper. There are blue-colored paper supporters. Two are used for the width of regular papers. Slide it toward the center so that it will handle the envelope with the top toward the left side. Put the envelope in with the printable side up and the top towards the left side. Slide the blue paper holders so they touch the top and bottom. Then push the envelope all the way toward the back and then move the single blue paper holder at the front so that it is against the envelope. You are ready to print as far as the printer.
I have to select properties for the printer. I indicate that I am printing an envelope. I also had to indicate landscape. I also had to move the print areas to fit where I want them to be. Then I added my address and the address to where they are going. I am not sure that I got everything but this should work well.
I did not do this, but you can use both trays with one that holds a number of pages and the other for a number of envelopes.

Experiences with ES Bundle "Integration of external Warehouse Management" ?

Hi PI Experts,
anybody who can share experiences with the ES Bundle Integration of [External Warehouse Management System |https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/espackages/integrationofExternalWarehouseManagement+System] and the usage of its Enterprise Services "Confirm Goods Movement_V1" or "Confirm Goods Movement" ?
As far as I understood these ES can be used for goods movements out of the ERP System.
Is it really possible to use these ES while creating an goods movement with Transaction MIGO ??
As far as I know it is only possible to send Transport Orders with WMTORD IDOCS out of SAP to externa Systems (!!) without any custom coding (!!) . Using instead an WMBXY message type (IDOC WMBIDO02) is only for inbound IDOC processing. If using this Standard IDOC for outbound IDOC processing the only way is implementing the BADI called while perfoming the TA MIGO. Correct?
Any experiences either with the ES Bundle or the IDOC goods movement out of SAP ERP are welcome.
Kind regards,
Dries

you can use ES for creating goods movement in SAP ( see the esoa sample apps on sdn) or you can make your won service published using BAPI .
I am not catching you in the use of BADI , elaborate more about that.

Anyone's experience with Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign CS2 and Leapord?

We are going to upgrade to Leapord early next week, but are wondering of anyone has experienced any problems with Adobe's CS2 versions. Adobe says that CS3 will mostly work and will have future updates--but said nothing about CS2 that I can find.
My wife is in college and uses those programs pretty heavily. She also needs time machine as she often loses files.
Please let me if anyone has had any good or bad experiences.
Thanks!

So far so good with CS2, but I have not had to time to really test it in depth.
Installed Leopard onto an external hard drive connected to my iMac. If I have problems I can always boot back into Tiger from the internal drive. Once I feel safe the CS2 works fine with Leopard I will install it on the internal drive. I also have a mirror backup of the internal drive on a different external drive than the one with Leopard installed, double backup for now.
PS: The newer versions FileMaker were reportedly not compatible. I am still using version 7.5 which seems to work fine under Leopard.
I am fixing to get ready to install Leopard on the G4 iBook. Doing a backup of that hard drive first.

Do you have experience with FCE on a mac mini?

Just looking for any comments on experience using a mini for FCE and importing AVCHD files.
I've got a Mini that I maxed out the ram and dropped in a 7200 rpm drive. I also have an external drive (usb) for my movie files - will go with a firewire drive soon. My camera is a Canon HG10. I'm only doing small videos so budget is my biggest concern.
I've been using the old iMovie HD (the quality of import/conversion when I tried iMovie08 is really bad - and don't like using it anyways.) I found that 4Media Video Converter has done the best conversions so far (Voltiac dies if the file is too big). But would like better quality - would FCE handle that on this system?
Thanks in advance,
Neil

Hello, I think you're out of luck with the toolbar, but not on 10.9 to check right now, you can change the minimum font size used in Safari Prefereces for web pages.
Perhaps Zoom will work for you...
