The Good, Bad and the Ugly

Not sure if this is the best place to post this questions but here goes. I have had enough complaints with the bugs with Leopard but I am very glad to see they included Photobooth and Frontrow for computers without a built in camera (on my G5 I have an isight) but now my question is:
Is there a remote (bluetooth maybe) that you can use for frontrow? Would like to utilize this feature but don't have a remote.
thanks

It's not bluetooth but perhaps this RF remote would work for you. Just need a USB port

Iphone tethering: the good, bad and ugly?

i'm goign to a rental that has no wifi for a few days.
thinking about using wifi tethering via iphone at&t.
how slow will the connection be?
let's assume that the att connection will be good, not excellent.
if i need to download 30MB video files will i be waiting a few minutes, few hours...?
any and all advice. let's assume i'll be buying the enterprise tethering plan from AT&T.
thanks
paul

I just ran SpeedTest.net on my iPhone here in my office (AT&T). I'm in Durham NC and I used Washington D.C. as the test server, and I got 0.91Mbps download, and 0.28Mbps upload, which in my experience is pretty good for my iPhone, but note that is about 10x slower then my average home connection.
Also keep in mind the difference in downloading content that has been specifically optimized for smart phone users, versus content that is optimized for higher bandwidth users (sort of like the default image resolution when sending from your phone, versus sending a high resolution image from you home computer). Content providers do package their content with the end-user device in mind, not the connection you plan to use to get it.

BT - The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

The Good
I see BT getting a hammering in this forum for upload speeds and broken promises.
I want to say that BT Engineer came round today as promised and sorted my problems out.
Ran some tests and although he said they seemed ok, he did an AC test? Said that it was marginal at 54 (anybody know what this is?)
He has connected a different line and the AC result went up to 75 which is good (apparently).
My BB has been running at 25 Mb down and after he released the profile, now gone up to 36Mb. (May not hold at that!)
Good guy, great work, well done BT.
The Bad
Under ADSL, the hub showed FEC and CRC errors. BT have chosen to remove this facility in HH3 and I can understand why as for the "average" user, too much knowledge is a dangerous thing. I'm sure customer service was being overwhelmed with calls of "is this right?"
However, it is very frustrating when you know you have a line problem, but officially all you can report to BT is that the line speed has dropped by 10Mb.
I know my line is capable of 30 - 36 Mb but when you phone the call centre (see below) you restart the hub and of course when you find it's still only 25 Mb because your IP profile has been capped by the DSLAM, you are then told that this is acceptable because anything above 20Mb is fine. It's not fine! (Rant)
Of course I have other VDSL modems which are able to five me full stats on DSL errors and surprise, surprise, I'm getting 10 million FEC errors in 15 minutes.
The Ugly
Quite simply the call centres; actually, certain call centres.
I phone up and report my poor download speed.
25Mb is acceptable
No it's not I've been running at 33Mb.
OK restart the hub.
No better
OK I'll do some line tests....there is a fault on the line. (No shiz Sherlock)
An engineer will sort it within 48 hours.
Will he need access to the house?
No - he will look at the cab and the line.
Next day...
Call from BT...Has your speed recovered.
No
Oh we'll need to send an engineer out
Hmmmmm
Engineer turned up as promised (back to top)
In summary
BT Engineers - great.
BT Infinity itself - great.
I understand the limitation of line length, copper, flooded access points, weather, Xtalk, so am not expecting a full 40Mb service. Just please don't fib to me that I should be ok with 20Mb on a faulty line.
BT Customer support:
Online support - great
Forum mods - great
Offshore - forget it

Thanks for the comments.
FEC error details showing on HH3 - understand that but you are probably aware that these can be (ahem) obtained from the HG612 if you were so inclined.
I honestly wanted to say that the product offering and the technical support has been good from BT, probably because I got a decent result to be fair.
In this particular case I got L2 support - never got to those heady hights before, and recieved a call after engineer had been asking if it had been resolved to my satisfaction etc. so tick in the box. Recieved another call this morning.
You've probably nailed it by pointing out the VERY conservative etimates of speed for contractual purposes.
Even the DSLAMs have got the "script" When you have a good connection and decent IP profile, the acceptable range is high, when your profile has dropped through the floor, acceptable speeds are low. Hope we can change the goalposts like this in the European Championships!

SUS BADI and the XI CONFIG

We are on Extended Classic Scenario in EBP and we are using SUS to create PO . But we still need to pass invoices to SAP R/3.
I guess we can achieve this by custom development in the areas of SUS BADIs and the XI layer configuration. Can somebody share which badi's to use and what kind of XI config changes will be required ?
Can you pleaes give me a path for the complete SUS Config with XI settings .

ok

I can't access to wi fi even though i have a good signal and the router is working properly (my laptop works perfectly)

Try rebooting the router and see if that helps. unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
You can also try restarting your iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

When you double click the circle buttom, and the little bar pops up from what you have been using... is it using data while being in there? is it a good idea to minimize evertthing out of there often so its not using more data ? or does it not matter?

Not sure if it uses data, but that allows you to multitask. To save battery life you should close out of all the apps.

When doing goods receipt and the movement from QA to unrestricted use there

Dear all,
when doing goods receipt and the movement from QA to unrestricted use there is an yellow error message
Error in EXIT_ SAPMM07_004 : Object 10462311E06/52,Char."LOBM_UDCODE,Value 01 A0,error"VALUE_NOT_FOUND"
Inspection Lot : 10000283512
System Status : UD ICCO SPRQ

Hi,
Did you use the follow up action in the UD code selection? It looks from the error that program is unable to find the UD code.
Kindly check the configurations in QM and see that everything is working fine?
Alternatively, if you are using the follow up action, then remove that first. Do the GR using MIGO -- this will create the inspection lot. Confirm the inspection using QA11 by entering the UD code for acceptance. Thereafter the the stock will rest in QI status. Use MB1B and perform the transfer posting with movement 321 to bring the stock to unrestricted use.
Regards,
Sushant

The Good Wife and football time change - video recorder problem

For the last 3 weeks I have been getting half of the Good Wife recorded because the football game on Sundays has backed up all the evening programs 35 minutes. I am furious with CBS for extending the football game so people cannot record the programs.
I just spent one hour with a Verizon "help" person setting up the Manual recording for The Good Wife from 9:35 to 10:35 pm. It looks like I may see the whole show next week but it says "not available" at the end. I do not feel too confident that this will work and I cannot speak to anyone higher.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have the same problem with Amazing Race -- every Sunday, CBS runs late with football which pushes back 60 minutes and subsequently everything else that evening.
What I've taken to doing for any show on a channel which follows football (Sunday or Monday night) is setup a Series recording and then go back into the series a modify it and extend the End Time by 1 hour (I found most games only run over about 20-30 minutes but usually no more than an hour -- although to be safe you could add 90 minutes to the end if you really want to).
This results in recording the end of the previously show before the show I wanted to watch on nights when the game runs late which I can just fast-forward over) or an additional hour on the end of the show on nights when football somehow manages to end on time -- but that's not all them much space on the DVR and as a result I don't miss any of the show.
I would love if one of these days the guide providers and the TV channels could provide real time updates that the DVR's could leverage and adjust their recording times on the fly, but alas that doesn't seem to be in the near future. Of course, I've also complained to the networks that since football always seems to run over by at least 20 minutes -- why not just make the football time slot 30 minutes longer! (and on nights with a shorter game, fill the extra time with an extended sports wrapup show or something).

Hi, had the same problem with my ipad.
First of all I would suggest to close all apps which might be opened (maybe one is working without that you know).
To close the apps press twice in a row the home button and keep a finger on the first app which appesars on the lower band until the entire row starts moving. then press the red MINUS on all oyur apps in order to close them all.
Then switch on and off your phone and see whether the battery is still draining.
if this continues try to keep you phone on a flight modus to see if this is due to internet connection.
maybe you should review some of your settings, as notifications, bluetooth, push services etc. (see specific topics on how to save battery).
If you still have not solved your problem try to restart you phone as a new one (after that you can re-download all your apps). 8do this by using itunes)
remind to save your data (e.g. pictures) prior to this operation.

I have a recently acquired iphone 4s and despite having good hearing and the volume up to max can barely hear who ever I am speaking to. WHat is wrong with the phone?

I have a recently acquired iphone 4s and despite having good hearing and the volume up to max can barely hear who ever I am speaking to. WHat is wrong with the phone?

The plastic cover was removed before I left the store and I have moved the volume up and down during, before and after phone calls. Have tried it in protective case and out of it. Impossible to hear calls unless phone is on speaker. There seems to be lots of comments re this. Is it a significant flaw? Can I fix it?

Which airport is good to extend my wifi, what is the difference between the AirPort Extreme and the airport express base sstation

What is the difference between the AirPort Extreme and the airport express base station and which one can extend my wifi router.

With rare exceptions of a few older routers, neither one can extend a non-Apple router's network wirelessly - they are not designed that way - but you can extend the wireless network if the Extreme is hardwired to the router or you can connect wirelessly and join the network as an access point that will provide remote ethernet access but not produce or extend the wireless signal - here is a comparison of the Apple base stations - http://www.apple.com/wifi/

Black bar along the right side and the bottom of the screen- DV5-1007ca

I have DV5 1007ca running Vista Home Premium 32-bit.My computer seems to suddenly think my monitor is a different size. I have a 3-inch black bar down the right side of the screen and about a 1/4 inch black bar along the bottom. My windows are still fully functional and completely fill the portion of the screen that is active. There is no loss of image, it's just framed by the black bars. If I do a Print screen and paste it into a document, the black bars are not there. It's as if the computer thinks the screen is a different physical size. This situation is present all the time, even when starting up. This is what I have done so far: -adjusted screen resolution settings = no change-rolled back my display drivers = no change-re-updated my display drivers = no change-rolled back my BIOS = no change-re-updated my BIOS = no change-System recovery = no change I searched posts here and elsewhere but the results were inconclusive. A couple of posters reported a virtually identical problem and were told they needed to replace either their screens or their graphics cards. Unfortunately, none of those posters ever reported back so it was unclear whether or not the issue was resolved. I doubt it is the screen since screen problem symptoms usually involve bits of screen not working and parts of the display being lost. My screen seems to be working fine, it just thinks it's smaller than it is. The graphics card is highly suspect. What's funny is that a little while ago, I started up my computer without changing anything and all was well for about a week and then it went back to the same old issue. Any helpful advice would be appreciated. This issue is driving me nuts!

I found a real solution that is hardware related. I was given a laptop with this exact same problem for free since my friend thought it wasn't worth paying to repair a 3 year old laptop, and was dead for almost a year (I think they manufactured these in 2008, but HP has almost no specs or info about them, specially ours; DV5T-1100) I have the solution to this problem, and is a solution not found almost anywhere using Google, and HP support doesn't want to tell you, simply don't know, or would make them look bad. I was able to fix it myself by using a rework station (basically a dedicated hot air gun) that I used to "reflow" the graphics chipset's connection to the board (keep reading, because this method may vary on result details). This simply means that I opened the laptop, removed the copper heatsink connected to the fan to expose both the micro-processor, and the faulty graphics chipset, and started cutting soda cans, or thick tin foil to cover the areas AROUND the graphics chipset, and leave the graphics chipset exposed so that the really hot air would concentrate only on TOP of the graphics chipset. Then, I put the device on 220 degress, with the tip of the gun 2 inches over the chipset, and circled the gun around heating that sucker for 5 minutes, then I did a 3 minute rest to cool off, and a final 5 minutes reheat again. Luckily enough it WORKED!, and it has been working for almost 10 months with heavy use. HOWEVER... doing a "reflow" like this on a micro component isn't reallt a proper fix. Sure you may get lucky, and I read of instances where the fix lasted for years, but also just months. This is because the problem is the old solder that connects each "ball" point under the chip to the motherboard may have a micro ultra tiny imperfections and misconnections on a few or many of the connected points cause by a long period of overheat of the chip due to both, a very bad heatsink, and heatflow of heat inside the laptop, and also (and usually) really bad maintenance on the user's part by having a really dirty and dusty vents, overuse, and blocking the ventilation exhaust of the laptop itself over time. A proper fix of this chip issue is another process called "reballing", where they actually properly overheat that particular chipset so much using IR heat, and an expensive machine, to "loosen" the solder of all connections and remove the chip itself to both, clean the old solder on the chip, and the old solder left on the motherboard, and actually REPLACE all solder with new lead solder. However, this process has to be very precise (hence the machine), and it maybe costly, and there's also the fact that MANY scammers out there either never really do a true reballing, ans just do a reflow to scam you, or don't have the experience to do a proper reball of the chip. So whose at fault here? Uneducated users that neglect learning how to properly maintain a laptop off its main enemies (dust and heat) no matter how good the hardware heatsinks may be, or is it poor hardware design by the manufacturer, where other brands or even other families of series off the same brand have actually better noticeable hardware design than these DV series that are so notorious to overheat easier than others out there? Well, I don't know, but I do know that you should be VERY careful having these laptops repaired and be scammed, because hey! Even so called "refurbished" or even so called "brand new" entire motherboard out there on Ebay are just bad reflow jobs with little to no warranty on them on purpose, to only last a few months on purpose. So, watch out, and THINK! before spending money on a beat up poor donkey.
