Texting problems with Samsung S3

Brand new Samsung S3.
No apps installed.
Few hours out of box and experiencing issues when sending text messages.
Whenever I send a text message it keeps telling me the message failed. No error code. However, the recipient receives multiple of the identical message.
Again, no apps have been installed; using stock messaging application.
This happens in any location (home, work, other locations). Full bars of connectivity (showing 4G icon).
Any suggestions? Faulty phone?

Yes, removing battery and then did a hard reset as well. Problem still occurred.
However, as of today the problem seems to have resolved itself.
Let's give it another day and time will tell.

Oracle Text - Problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...)

Hi, I have a problem with filtering binary documents (.doc, .pdf, etc...). I use SQL*PLUS for remote access to Oracle 10.2 on Linux and I create table:
CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
I insert to this table:
INSERT into test values(1, 'PATH/text1.doc‘);
INSERT into test values(2,'PATH/text2.doc‘);
and then:
CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters (’datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
filter ctxsys.auto_filter’);
Message "Index created" is displayed, but objects: DR$test_index$I, DR$test_index$K, DR$test_index$N, DR$test_index$R and DR$test_index$P are empty => index wasn´t created probably.
I don´t know, where is bug, either bug is somewhere in this code or on the server (wrong installation oracle or constraint privileges). Do you know in what is bug?

The following is an excerpt from the 10g online documentation. Note the items that I have put in bold.
"FILE_DATASTORE
The FILE_DATASTORE type is used for text stored in files accessed through the local file system.
Note:
FILE_DATASTORE may not work with certain types of remote mounted file systems.
FILE_DATASTORE has the following attribute(s):
Table 2-4 FILE_DATASTORE Attributes
Attribute Attribute Value
path path1:path2:pathn
path
Specify the full directory path name of the files stored externally in a file system. When you specify the full directory path as such, you need only include file names in your text column.
You can specify multiple paths for path, with each path separated by a colon (:) on UNIX and semicolon(;) on Windows. File names are stored in the text column in the text table.
If you do not specify a path for external files with this attribute, Oracle Text requires that the path be included in the file names stored in the text column.
PATH Attribute Limitations
The PATH attribute has the following limitations:
If you specify a PATH attribute, you can only use a simple filename in the indexed column. You cannot combine the PATH attribute with a path as part of the filename. If the files exist in multiple folders or directories, you must leave the PATH attribute unset, and include the full file name, with PATH, in the indexed column.
On Windows systems, the files must be located on a local drive. They cannot be on a remote drive, whether the remote drive is mapped to a local drive letter."
With accessible paths and files, you get something like:
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
Table created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(1,'c:\oracle11g\banana.pdf');
1 row created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(2,'c:\oracle11g\cranberry.pdf');
1 row created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
2 parameters ('datastore ctxsys.file_datastore
3 filter ctxsys.auto_filter');
Index created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> select count(*) from dr$test_index$i
2 /
COUNT(*)
608
SCOTT@orcl_11g> In the following, I used a non-existent path and non-existent file name, which produces the same results as when you use a remote path that does not exist locally.
SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, text VARCHAR2(100));
Table created.
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g>
SCOTT@orcl_11g> INSERT into test values(3,'c:\nosuchpath\nosuchfile.pdf');
1 row created.

SCOTT@orcl_11g> CREATE INDEX test_index ON test(text) indextype is ctxsys.context
2 parameters ('datastore ctxsys.file_datastore

Problems With Samsung SCD107 Camcorder

Hi, I have the Samsung SCD107 Camcorder and whenever I turn it on and enter camera mode all I see on the LCD screen and viewfinder is black. I have been told that the CCD sensor is broken. I was wondering if this is able to be repaired and how much i would cost to repair it.
-Thanks

Hi matt624,
The problem with your viewfinder and LCD screen could be caused by a faulty sensor, but the only way to really know is to have a technician look at your camcorder. I would first suggest having a digital imaging expert in a Best Buy® store look at the camcorder. If they determine that there is a defect in your camcorder the Geek Squad® precinct in the store should be able to have it sent out to a service center.
If there is a defect in the camcorder it can most likely be repaired, but the real question is will it be cost effective to repair or would you be better off putting that money towards the purchase of a new camcorder. The only real way to know would be to have a technician determine what is wrong, and get a quote on how much it would cost to repair. It would be impossible to guess the cost of the repair without a conclusive diagnosis.
Thanks for posting,

Text problems with Illustrator CS6

Hello. We are having problems with text in Illustrator CS6. 1. When we copy / paste text within illustrator all color information is lost. 2. When we save documents in Illustrator CS6 then re-open text with color attributes changes to different random colors!! For example: If we save an Illustrator document with a paragraph of text that is part red and part black when we re-open the same paragraph might be all gray, or orange or (you pick a color). Can anyone help us here as this is causing no end of grief. Mac OSX 10.8.2

As promised. This is the response received from iClipboard re the text color problems with Illustrator CS6.
"Sounds like an Adobe problem especially given their last fix which changed how they worked with the system clipboard. We don't mess with any of the data put on the system clipboard. We simply make an exact copy of it and store it in iClipboard. It's a READ operation, not a WRITE operation so no data on the clipboard is changed. We use standard Apple API's to do all of this (proof is that iClipboard is in the Mac App Store--Apple's review process doesn't allow undocumented API calls)."
My thanks to the people at iClipboard however the problem still exists. I'll sum up the issue this way. I have created a paragraph of text in Illustrator that combines black text with red text. I copy then paste the text with iClipboard running and the pasted text is all black. I copy then paste the text with iClipboard disabled and the copied text maintains the color information. When I save the Illustrator document with iClipboard running then reopen the black / red text reopens as grey / orange. With iClipboard disabled the reopened document is fine - go figure. The problems only occur with text - images are fine though they were a problem with the first version of Illustrator CS6. Anyone got any suggestions??

Nokia 500 display light and texting problems with ...

After installing Belle I have some VERY annoying problems with my Nokia 500.
While texting it turns the display light up and down.
When I write fx a name and press # to use a big letter, it doesn't automatically go back to small letters after writing the first letter. I have to press # again.
I have never had this problem before Belle, with any phone.
Its really annoying and timeconsuming having to delete what I just wrote coz it has continued to write in big letters.
Also after Belle, when browsing the text with > and < it doesn't highligt a whole word, so i can change it. If for some reason I accidently delete the last letter in a word, I have to delete the whole word and write it again. Never had that problem before either.
Have I done something wrong to get these annoying problems, or do others also have these problems?
Is there a fix for Belle coming up?
And why on earth put out software with so many problems...? I wish I had never "upgraded" to Belle!!
Hope this is not to confusing, and that someone has a fix for this.
B.

i believe there is an option in the Messaging options to actually turn off word prediction, so that it is off by default every time you start up the Messaging app. i also think that instead of navigating it with the > and <, you can actually tap the word on screen and it will highlight that word for you.
as for the display issue, not so sure. have you checked via Nokia Suite that you have the latest firmware installed for your device? if so, then try re-installing your current firmware thru Nokia Suite.
Symbian is in maintenance mode, therefore will no longer see any more major firmware updates, only perhaps the odd bug fix or two.

Texting problems with iphone 5

I recently bought a factory unlocked iphone 5 and I've been having trouble sending text messages from it.
1. I cannot send text messages but I CAN send iMessages and MMS's. If I type something in the subject line, even if it's a blank space, and then type something in the body, then it will go. But if I don't type anything in the subject line then the text doesn't get delivered. Similarly, if I keep MMS switched off then messages don't go through.
I can, however, receive texts and imessages.
2. I can't activate iMessage or FaceTime. Both get stuck on waiting for activation. However, my appleid is recognised and I can send/receive iMessages using that even though it is still "waiting for activation".
3. When I try to FaceTime, the call goes through and then either gets stuck on connecting or I get a message saying I'm not not available for FaceTime ( I tried calling myself from my iPad 2 to iPhone 5 and vice versa)
I live in the UAE so I know that FaceTime is not available on apple products meant for this geographical location, but iphones and ipads bought from other countries were able to run these apps without any problem. iMessage was always available and our phone numbers were easily activated on the iPhone 4/S
Anyone have any idea on how to get this to work again? Especially the normal texting bit.
Thank you!

I think it's a problem with unlocked phones cos if you google it you come across a lot of people in different locations using different carriers having this problem. i'm hoping its a software and not a hardware problem.
I have a dual sim for the same number and when i use the other microsim in my iphone 4 i can send/recieve text messages just fine. i have a problem only on the iphone 5.

Massive problems with Samsung Fascinate

I've had my phone for a little over 9 months. When I first got it, it was great. Then the "upgrades" came. I now have an unreliable brick. In the past 20 minutes today, it has reset on me 4 times for no reason. It freezes constantly, so I can't depend on it to make or receive phone calls (which almost made me late to work one day since I couldn't call to have someone let me in at 5:30 in the morning.)
Is anyone else having these problems? Is Verizon planning on fixing these problems? What are my options? Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks!

I've had the same problems with my Fascinate. Since the upgrade, it freezes up constantly. It's so bad that I don't even bother to turn it on most days (then I find out I missed a dozen calls and messages). It's really appalling that Verizon Wireless won't offer customers a better solution for a phone that clearly isn't working for them. I'm eligible for an "upgrade" in about a month and I can't wait to get away from this high-tech brick!

Problem with samsung u370 or network?

I'm on my 3rd Samsung u370...the issues are the same with each phone...after shutting the phone off overnight and turning it back on in the morning i cannot recieve calls,texts or voicemails..i have to make a test call to reactivate the phone each day...i have talked to many techs,,,all have different ideas of what the problem is...they are now sending me a 4th phone...an LG Octane just to try a different model...my wife's phone with verizon has been working with no problems(an LG Envy 3)...this is so frustrating...been almost 2 months now like this...anyone experiencing anything like this..the u370 is a great phone when its working...i hate the thought of being stuck with the Octane for 2 years

well..i guess i'll reply to myself...i got the Octane...same problem..Verizon said they would do a trouble ticket..second one btw..so basically i just answered my own problem..its the network..not the phone..and i just sent back the phone i like...geeesh..talked to a supervisor today that was so nice i couldnt even be that mad and i'm stting here with no service..can anyone hear me now!

Problems with Samsung Continuum. Anyone else?

So I purchased the Samsung Continuum in June, and at first everything seemed fine. But after just a month or two the phone became very slow and would freeze often. I had to factory reset the phone several times, but the problems persisted. Shortly after that the phones alarm clock began to malfunction and would shut itself off after a few minutes or several hours. This is a problem because I rely on my phone as my primary alarm clock. My phone also freezes when I try to use the camera. When the phone freezes, it resends random previously sent text messages. Is anyone else having all of these issues? And will Verizon do anything about them. It is very frustrating.

Wow, sounds like alot of issues with your Continuum. My wife has one, so I am familiar with it. As far as the phone and freezing, what apps do you have installed? There are a number of troubleshooting techniques you can try. When you did the factory reset, did you re-install all of your apps? I just saw on Verizon's site that the Continuum does not support Safe Mode, so you may have to start removing apps one by one to see if there is an app that is causing your problems. Are you running any kind of advanced task killers or memory managers on your phone?
I would think the only thing Verizon would do is to replace the phone with a Certified Like New Continuum if it is within 1 year of your purchase. After that, you are limited in what they can/will do.

Problems with samsung scd 107

I have the samsung scd 107 and can't for the life of me figure out how to transfer the footage i have recorded on mini dv to the computer. I want to edit it but can't even transfer the footage to my pc (by the way i have a vista operating system so hope that's not a problem) so someone please help me. Do I need to buy something else to help transfer.

Hi sweetsuicide,
To upload your footage to your computer so you can edit it you will need to get a 4 pin IEEE 1394 cord (also known as a "FireWire" cord) to connect your camcorder to your computer. Make sure you get a “FireWire” cord that has a 4 pin connection on one side (connects to the camcorder), and the appropriate pin count connector (4 or 6 pin) on the other side (connects to your computer). It sounds like you have a relatively new computer, which means you should only need the cord. With older computers you might have needed to purchase an IEEE 1394 add-on-card for the computer.
Directions on how to upload your footage start on page 78 of your user manual, and if you no longer have your manual you can download a copy from the manufacturer here.
I hope this helps!

Problems with samsung syncmaster 173v

hi i got msi geforcefx 5600 [128mb] vtdr version ... anyway i also bought samsung syncmaster 173v LCD monitor ... but the strange thing is there are more contrasts on the sides of the LCD then the middle ... it is like that all non-windows and games ... i dont understand why and LCD cant adjust this ... for example if i change the desktop to plain color black ... i can see the difference between the middle and sides easily ... all the system is well setup so it is either the agp card or the LCD ... i went to the store and they give me the chance to test a new LCD (same one) with my PC and it turns out to be the same ... i contact to the samsung on their website (which they didnt respond) ... is there a firmware update or something like this ... pls help me ... it is the first time i am using a LCD and i guess it was not such a good idea to give up CRT :( ... btw my system is
pentium 4 - 3ghz (HT)
msi geforcefx 5600
asus pc4800 mobo
and the rest is not related with the problem i guess ... let me know any missing info about the situation ... regards to all

I recommend you get on samsung.com and look for chat. I just finished spending about a hour with them about another model and covered a series on difficulties. I was surprised to find out on their website that my Samsung LCD TV was not covered by any warrantee! (It really is tho - but the site says "No".) Just one of many surprises that they are still working on. The other big deal is figuring out the software upgrade function. Good luck!

Problems with Samsung PN42A450 TV

Hello,
First time here and I'll start with the problems
I purchased Samsung PN42A450 last year and bought additional 3 year warranty for $199.
90% of the time I watch cable and from time to time DVD movies.
After the first few months, a strange red spot in the bottom right corner started to show.
It was small, and you could've only see it on the dark (black) display.
But soon after it started spreading to the uper side on the TV and I called the GeekSquad.
The guy came over, checked the TV and order parts.
After two weeks another guy came to install it. It was the main board.
Problem fixed, but just temporarily. A few days later, same problem occured.
This time after watching the TV station longer, the logo on that station will appear on the next channel. like a red stamp.
It was even worse.
Called geek squad again, guy came, and said it is nothing, that is normal for all the Plasmas and just did the adjustments. Problem solved, again for few days.
I call Geek Squad again, they send in third guy, who called Samsung and they told him they will send another part.
I am not sure what part it was, but the part looked like a green plastic and it was on the bottom on the TV. It didn't work. The red spot was still one. I was getting angrier, and said to that guy that if the TV is not repairable I am going to ask for replacement. He said he knows what the problem is and ordered another part. It was logic board.
He was so sure that will work. And it worked, but now instead of the red spot, the right hand side of the TV is more whitish than black, just the edges of the whole side.
I don't know what to do. I have waranty and I want to exchange this TV.
Did some of you have problems like this before?
I was really happy when I purchased this TV, but now after so many repairs and visits from Geek Squad it feels like I bought used TV for the price of new one.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

Problems with Samsung Continuum

I am having several issues with my Samsung Continuum:
1. I use the email application for a yahoo and gmail account. There have been several times where the app does not pick up messages for a significant period of time. I typically do a soft reset of the phone every could of days to and it seems to reset this issue, but it doesn't seem normal that I should have to do that.
2. The other day a duplicate gmail account showed up in the email app. I tried to delete one of them and when I did, both accounts were deleted. I re-entered the account information and again it showed up twice. I have re-deleted and re-added several times now and have not been able to solve the problem.
3. The music player application starts running on its own and drains the battery. I use the task manager multiple times per day to stop this application.
Any suggestions as to how to solve these issues?
Thank you/

These are all significant problems, but they're all resolvable. Please send me a personal message with your mobile number, a phone number where you can be reached and a good time for me to call. Thank you!

Resolution problems with Samsung monitor

I recently purchased a Samsung Syncmaster 19" TV/monitor for use with my MacBook while at university. The monitor's resolution is 1440x900, and my macbook correctly chooses this resolution when plugged in.
My understanding was that when using a larger monitor, the proportions of OS X remain the same, you just have more screen space for windows.
However, while having slightly more screen space, everything is displayed slightly larger than normal. For instance, the menu bar and window option lights in the top-left corner are all larger, which is like running a resolution which is too low.
I am running a 2.16 MacBook, connected to the external display with a mini-dvi to dvi connector.
Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

There has been some issues using external monitors with Macbook Pros since 10.5.2 came out. I am one of the many. Check previous posts regarding this issue.
