Suggestion for a future update

Hey guys. Not sure where to post this, so mods, if you read, move it where you deem appropriate (just please, not in the trash!)
I've had my iPhone since day 1, and there are really only 2 glaring things wish, given my usage of the iPhone, would make things awesome!
1.) The ability to set mail to check for messages on edge as well as for wireless
i.e. set the phone to check every "x" minutes on edge, and every "x"minutes on wireless. I keep edge turned off to save battery, but, when in Wifi, I like to have it check as often as my laptop. Plus, a time like "Every 5 minutes" as a minimum would be nice.
2.) When using dock as output for music, allow the side buttons to change tracks instead of volume.
i.e. when I am in my car, the volume meter on the iphone does not change the speaker volume, thus rendering the side buttons useless. It would be nice to be able to set them to other functions, a la previous/next track, play/pause, etc. That way I wouldn't have to unlock the phone and fumble for the touch-screen button while driving. Tactile buttons=safety on the road.
What do you guys think? These fixes are easy tweaks, in my opinon, and would make the iPhone perfect (for me). Oh, and my .02 for the iPhone update? Apple is probably trying to get the international settings tweaked so that, when the iPhone hits Europe, the models are the same spec. It only makes sense, and, from Apple's standpoint, it is better to get those international tweaks fixed before they ship millions of phones to Europe than to have to do remote fixing in Europe. I may be wrong, and no, I don't have a source, just a hunch. "Internationalizing" stuff is always the hardest part of programming, when it comes to interface commands. Sometimes direct translations don't make sense, and can be downright wrong in other languages. But, anyways...cheers!

  • Suggestions For Handling Bulk Updates Without Blocking Local User Updates

    Hi,
    This is a request for general implementation suggestions.
    We have a CRM database that is used by a call center application to allow reps to update customer info during business hours.  Outside of business hours we receive data feeds from another source that are bulk uploaded into the database to refresh the
    data. This has been working fine for now, but we are expanding the use of the app to offices in other countries and are beginning to encounter more blocking during the bulk upload because now the app is being used outside our local business hours because of
    the time difference.
    It seems this would be a common problem, but I haven't been able to identify a good source of information on methods to overcome this. 
    What suggestions do people have to complete bulk loads while still allowing updates by local users?
    Ideas I have been considering include duplicating the database and performing merge replication, using service broker to queue updates during the bulk load, using snapshot isolation or isolation levels with row versioning....
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Reinis

    I have considered trying to break the update into chunks, but my fear as you said is it will take a lot longer.
    Quite a few years ago, I rewrote a process in our system to make it a set-based update for better performance. But I heard as late as today from our customer with the biggest volumes, that they are still running the old process which updates one by one,
    because when they do all at once the blocks other operations. (Which admittedly is due to other shortcomings in the system.)
    Anyway, I would recommend you to look into that, and particularly make the chunks size configurable. Maybe you are able to find a sweet spot where blocking is not a problem, but the chunks are till big enough to be efficient.
    Both of those resolutions are feasible and I certainly know there will be significant changes we may have to undertake.  I was just thinking that this must be a really common issue now with the global reach of data and there must be people who have
    handled it in different ways.
    It's not really a simple problem, and the solution is likely to depend on the current architecure you have. What fits in one shop, may not fit in another. And most of all, one solution may be a lot less costly to implement than another.

  • Suggestions for improving this update in batches of 100 records

    I'm currently using the following PL/SQL code to update batches of records in groups of 100 records at a time.
    - DB Version : Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.7.0
    - There is an index on columns : AHS_CONTACT_TYPE, SYNCSTATUS
    - I have to commit the records in batches of 100
    -- Mark all the Agents "In Process" (regardless of Owner)
    -- Update last_modified_by_id to 'SALESFORCE_LOADED' if the
    -- last_modified_by_id column is 'SALESFORCE_SYNC' and
    -- the ID column is NOT NULL
       ln_count := 0;
       FOR C IN (SELECT tmpsf_CONTACT.ROWID
                   FROM tmpsf_CONTACT
                  WHERE ( AHS_CONTACT_TYPE = c_sfContactType_AGENT ) AND
                         ( SYNCSTATUS <> c_sfsyncstatus_IN_PROCESS )
       LOOP
          UPDATE tmpsf_CONTACT
             SET SYNCSTATUS = c_sfsyncstatus_IN_PROCESS,
                 LAST_MODIFIED_BY_ID = decode( LAST_MODIFIED_BY_ID, c_username_SALESFORCE_SYNC,
                                                            decode( ID, NULL, LAST_MODIFIED_BY_ID,
                                                                        c_username_SALESFORCE_LOADED),
                                                            LAST_MODIFIED_BY_ID)
           WHERE ( tmpsf_CONTACT.ROWID = c.ROWID );
          -- Commit every 100 records       
          IF (ln_count >= 100) THEN
             COMMIT;
             ln_count := 1;
          ELSE
             ln_count := ln_count + 1;
          END IF;
       END LOOP;
    -- Catch last batch with any records less then 100
    COMMIT;Does anyone have any suggestions about further improving this performance?
    Thanks,

    - And the most important, replicated transactions
    must be reasonably small for throughout across the
    WAN
    I don't know what replication engine is being used, but the loop approach uses a huge amount more of REDO than a simple set based update. Most replication applies the REDO to the remote database to synch it up. The loop will cause more data to be transferred over the WAN than a single update.

    Either way, I want to optimize this code as much as
    possible. In fact, today I found a need to do a
    similar update again...
    Just do the update. It uses less resources and is faster becasue of it. The slow approach does not use fewer database resources because you are throttling it. It is slower because it requires more of everything.

  • Suggestion for next firmware update - Nokia 5800

    If anyone from nokia is reading this in the next firmware update for the Nokia 5800 XM can we have the facility of have the name of the title track of a song scroll from left to right whilst the song is playing, as at the moment it scrolls once and then stops so if its a song with a long title all you can see is just half the title after its scrolled once, and also maybe a way as the song is playing of seeing the details of the song playing (like the tags for artist, Kbps, song title, album name) by clicking the onscreen softkey/options button. And also this can be extended to the contacts list where the name will scroll from left to right to show the full contact name when you press on it, at the moment it doesn't do that.

    Unfortunately the care centres are the only people that can help you.
    Any other methods that you may read about on other forums will void your warranty and cannot be discussed here.

  • Suggestions for a future Director version...

    Dear Director Development Team, I am writing this letter to give you a few tips to keep in mind for future versions of your (beloved) program.
    First of all I would like to underline that, I think, now the majority of developers using Director is oriented to the use of this software to produce iOS apps. This is because now the development of real desktop applications has shifted to other platforms, because from version 11 to the current many years have passed. As a result I believe that Director 12 is essentially a new development tool for iOS, and nothing else.
    Assuming that there is no longer any need to Director to develop other applications, why not make a "fork" and make a version 12.1 or 12.5 which develops exclusively iOS apps? I would advise you to focus your efforts on this platform: those who develop with Director is essentially a good programmer, those who are left are the ones really good. Why, then, do not create a version of Director to be in charge of all the limitations and essentially only works with iOS? Adding new grammars, new features and instead removing all those no longer needed.
    To make sure that Director is a real development tool for iOS applications you need to add different things, for example the ability to display web pages, the ability to display videothe possibility to interact with the GPS, and many other tips that will have been given, right in this forum.
    Personally, the biggest limitation I see in Director to iOS is that it does not properly handle the editable text fields. Then why not introduce a new one type of text field? A special text field that only works with iOS, one which respects the logic and enabling the development of actual applications, not just only some games ...
    Director can be a very effective development platform for a lot of apps, things that today are done using HTML 5 wrappers, such as Phonegap. Director can go further and produce something much more interactive and much richer, while maintaining relatively low development time.
    My advice, then, is to transform Director, and make it a new application, which develops only for iOS, so that they do this well, better, and in an ever more efficient way.
    I understand that no one will ever read these lines, and if it does, probably this thing that has already been discussed in some meetings. I just wanted to you hear my voice and express my opinion, and possibly also ask the opinion of other participants of this forum.
    Thank you.

    director could probably include those ios specific features without needing
    an entirely duplicate program, although I could see adobe doing that
    just so people who want the full spectrum have to buy both of them instead
    of one.
    i pretty much use director like an art canvas because,
    unlike straight coding, you can sculpt multimedia with a variety of
    techniques.  it's almost like oil painting compared to glass etching.  i've
    been in love with this since HyperCard on a 640x480 b&w mac.
    just some thought.  i wish adobe would stop mutating director toward a
    corporate scheme and keep it the way it should be, totally awesome.  my
    best guess would be that they've let things fall short just to create a
    market for the upgrades.  monopolistic masturbation.

  • Suggestion for the next update

    WebOS 1.4.0 had some great improvements...but there is one other improvement I would love to see. If you receive a text message or email with an address, it would be nice to be able to tap and hold the address and have the ability to use that address with Sprint Navigator. This way Sprint Navigator would open automatically and the desired address is already populated. I really hope Palm can add this type of feature.

  • Suggestion for a future release (Large number of playlists)

    It would really be great if you could send a playlist to a connected iPod by right clicking on it. Instead of having to drag it. When you have a large number of playlists and you want to drag one from the bottom it can take 2 or 3 minutes just to get it to your iPod so you can drop it.
    And before anyone says it I know that you can use Sync to transfer playlists to your iPod, but when your trawling through your playlists, sometimes auditioning songs so you can decide what you want to listen to on your travels next week, it would be a much nicer user experience to be able to send it to your iPod then and there.

  • Nokia C3-01, suggestions for next S/W update

    I am using Nokia C3-01 from 2 weeks. It is nice phone with touch and type combination. I would like to add some suggestions for next software update.
    1.   Brightness control
    2.  When writing a text message, tapping # change only alphabet from capital to lower case, but missing numeric. I have to press 3-4 times to write numeric in text. Also have no 'option' to insert numeric. If I change other language (not English, which is automatic), then I can get numeric by tapping #. Nokia, please care it for next firmware update.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can do a long press on the keys to get the numeric value instead of pressing it three to four times. This works for all Nokia since years, if they have keys  
    Or do a long press on the # key. This gives you the option to activate numeric input. Also a quite old feature for Nokia phones.

    Hit Alt then T then O. It will open the options dialog. Select the Advanced Tab, then select the Update tab. There will be an option to not check for updates. I would however strongly encourage you to upgrade to the latest firefox. It's much safer, faster, and easier to use.

  • Suggestion for future release

    Where should I post suggestions for future releases of SQL Developer or/and Data Modeler?
    Please give me a link.
    Thanx,
    Chris
    One suggestion for Data Modeler:
    In the "Model Properties" of a relational model, there should be a "scripts" folder like in the "Table Properties".
    In this script I'd like to generate some global statements for the DDL generation,
    for example:
    before (=begin of generated script): set define off; alter session set nls_numeric_characters='.,'; nls-config
    after (=end of generated script): commit; (when table inserts are used and no ddl-statement is following; otherwise you have to use 'commit' in each table-script; After the last table create (ddl-) statement there is no implicit 'commit')
    I know, that I can edit the generated script to add my statements, but if you often generate code there is a good change to forget to change the script afterwards.

  • Can someone save an imessage somehow? Especially if it is a kind should be reported to the police? If not this would be a much needed update for the future.

    I had to report an shady Imessage to the police. I tryed to find a way to save or send it for evidence when when needed. there doesn't seem to be a way. I was able to save the photo this nut sent me. You've heard a picture is whorth a thousand words. The photo was a hand holding a pistol with their hand on the triger. they spoke in launage I could not translate. I tryed to translate it in google traslate and wouldn't work. I have PSD. my younger sister was shot to death with a handgun back in 1987. So this kind of photo said something to me and it was very frightening to me. I reported it to the police. In future updates I would to Apple create a way to save an imessage for matters such as these. Thank you very much.

    Already exists.
    You can easily take a screenshot of the Messages screen.
    Hold down the home button and briefly tap the on/off switch. That will save an image with exactly what you can see on the screen into your Camera Roll.
