The more i read this forum the less i want an Iphone!

From reading this forum it is clear that the Iphone is absolutely riddled with problems. I would really love one but they seem to be so dodgy. Every 5 minutes there is a new page of people having problems with their Iphone!
Should i stick with my Nokia?

The iPhone is not riddled with problem.
What you have to keep in mind is that of the people who come here 95% of them are having an issue.
The best analogy I ever heard was that this is an iPhone hospital. 90% of the people/phones are sick 5% are here to help/doctors and 5% are visitors. You wouldn't walk into a hospital and think that 90% of the population was sick, would you? Of course not, because it wouldn't be a representative sample.
The vast majority of iPhone users are having a pleasant, problem free experience and thus never set foot in this forum. My iPhone works great with no issues, making me one of the "doctors."
Take this forum seriously but with a grain of salt

Anyone from Blackberry Reading this Forum? If so....

Hi there, just became aware of this forum after it being mentioned over on Crackberry.com.
Anyways, if you work for Blackberry and are reading this forum and this thread, then PLEASE take stock of all that is said in this Z10 thread over on Crackberry.com here:
What Tweaks do you want to see in next BB10 software update?
And. Please. Make sure it is thoroughly shared and heard at Blackberry...
Many of us *really love* our Z10's, but can't help but feel that Blackberry/RIM *yet again* came out with an imperfect awesome device.
Is it impossible to have a nearly perfect smartphone because, although the Z10 is the best smartphone on the market according to me and others, it certainly has MUCH to be desired? Is it impossible to add (or *return*) to the Z10 most if not all of the MANY MANY MANY really great features we miss in the 7.0 system outlined in the above thread, because if it had most if not all of those features, you would be selling a lot more devices over the coming months to-be-sure?
If I were you and worked for Blackberry, I would see that Thorsten Heinz et al knew that, for the benefit of its many Z10 customers and the future of the company, Blackberry should come out with some kind of serious PR and SOON to assure us that 10.1 or other future updates will add many of the features that kept so many of us afloat in the hopes for so long that Blackberry would come out with the very best device, while we now sit here wondering why Blackberry left out SO MANY features we loved and frankly depended on with 7.0 etc, making our Z10 imperfect.
If you do not, or you tell us that we will not see many of those features, or leave us wondering much longer, then it is hard to imagine that we will stick with you forever and that Blackberry will be the flagship of smartphones it could be and succeed.
Thorsten et al, you do want to keep and grow your customer base, don't you? You do want to strike real concern and embarrassment in Apple and Android, don't you? You do want to not have future repeats of last week's sell-offs of the BBRY stock because of one tech firms' downgrade of the company's future over false rumors, but rumors still, of a high rate of returned devices, don't you? You do want to hear loudly from us that you have the most amazing phone on the planet ever, don't you?!
Then please hear and acknowledge our feedback, and execute much more of what we as Blackberry fanatics came to expect in great anticipation of what has turned out to be a three-quarter-baked awesome smartphone, the Z10, please.

OK, HTML got me again. Try this code:
case 62: // '>'
stringbuffer.append(">");

Do the Adobe Gods read this forum? ( sorry to blaspheme)

Self help is fine but I wonder if Adobe read the posts on this forum. There does not yet seem to be an official response to the flash player unresponsive plugin issue that is looming as REAL issue. Flash player is such an integral part of the web that I am amazed that there has not been a fairly rapid response from those who produce such wonderful products. I know we shouldn't whinge because its free but can someone please (bow, scrape, grovel) from Adobe heaven please try to address this very frustrating issue?

The Flash Player developers regularly visit this forum, and they do answer questions that are answerable.
I do believe you that you have a problem with Flash Player, and yes, many other users have posted similar problems.
The problem that Adobe has is that they cannot reproduce it. I cannot reproduce it. Software problems are very difficult to diagnose if they cannot be reproduced.
I remember one user who posted one or two years ago that he would always get Flash Player hung up or not responding when he has more than 2,500 Flash Player tabs open on Firefox. Well, that is certainly not something I am going to try and reproduce.
If you can tell what exact steps lead to your problem, maybe then the Adobe engineering team will be able to reproduce it.

From reading this forum and my own it experance the HP "eprint" email server is flawed!

Having read on this forum and from my own experience only a limited number of email providers email addreses will be accepted by the eprint email address it certainly does not accept emails from hotmail.com and hotmail.co.uk they bounce almost before they are sent!!!
So own up HP I bought in to your sales BS and there certainly wasn't any caveats saying that you eprint system does it did not work with certain email providers.
I note that someone calling himself an interested employee of HP has been suggesting that its the providers fault, well I have been using hotmail for donkeys years and the only time my emails have bounced is when I have incorrectly entered the wrong send address configuration or the attachments were too large!
I am getting on, but for the life of me I cannot found any eprint support contact email address on their web page, is there one? or is HP hoping that their customers will sort out their problems for them?
For the record I can see my printer on line via the eprint web site and all the reports are correct so its not a fault at my end .
So HP if you actually monitor this forum get your act together and give us what your sales blurb said it would!

For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may
help resolve your problems.
1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and
then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at
a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from
completing.
a. If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to
reattach to the cloud.
b. Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no
ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.
I am an HP employee

How to view more posts in this forum?

Ok, without using the RSS feed option and the search, is there any way to view this forums history, for example, page 2, 3, 4, ect ...
Thanks.

Looks like you're still on the "Overview" tab ... near the top of the page, just under the logo bar, is a menu bar with "Overview ... Content ...."
Click on the Content tab, you'll see a view that's slightly different and has numbers & arrows top & bottom right corners for more pages.

Does Adobe actually read this forum ??

Ok,
I have only been in this forum for 2 days (after calling adobe and being forwarded to this forum), but after looking through dozens of posts..... I do not see any posts by a Adobe support engineer or even a Adobe employee?
Does anyone at Adobe read this "support" forum?
since there is no phone support, no email support, and only support venue is this forum.

The previous responses are correct in that there is no guaranteed response to every question from an employee, but Adobe staff and Community Professionals are active in many topics and will respond where appropriate. You can identify the role of a user by the badge under their profile image, and I can see a number of employee responses within the last day across the Acrobat forums. There is no rule that an employee has to post here; some do and some don't but it depends on how busy they are. Adobe does not have dedicated support staff patrolling these forums 24/7 so the people posting here all have "proper jobs" to do, like writing the next version of your software.
Adobe Reader is a special case in that as a free product, direct support is limited. Users of free or evaluation software will be directed to these forums in every case, but if they require 1:1 support they can pay for an incident ticket via the link posted above.
I've checked your account and I can't see a specific question which hasn't been answered to some extent - please post details of your problem if you feel something hasn't been answered.

ADOBE EMPLOYEES, DO YOU EVER READ THIS FORUM?

Do you, or is this just a way to make us users believe that you care?
I'm asking because I've read about some features and strange interface behaviours that a lot of people want/complain about for years, and everything's still the same.
Just want to know if I'm wasting my time or not.

Yeah, and I already sent them a revolted e-mail to the "Feature request / Bug report form" page (https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform). If you know any better place to forward this message, please tell me. Anyway, here's my angry letter, if you're curious about it:
"A question about feature requests
I apologize if this isn't the right place for this complaint, but I couldn't find any better place for it. I also apologize previously to you, the reader, if none of what's about to come isn't of your responsibility at all, but if that's the case, I ask you, please, to forward it to someone that has it, or even better, to someone with the power to do something about it.
I have lots of feature requests, but first I would just like to ask you something. What is the use of the programs's feature requests forums? I know forums are for discussion and help among users, but one would think these would be different, because naturally, you submit requests to the company, not to other users (although it can be interesting to see if they agree with you or not). I submitted a post a month ago asking you, adobe employees, if you ever read that forum (the Illustrator one). It now seems clear to me that you don't, since I got no answer. (Apart from the fact that made me suspect of this in the first place, which is the nonexistence of some features that have been asked for years).
So, my point is: either read what us users suggest, or don't even create such forums, since by doing that, you're just wasting our time, making us believe that you listen to your customers.
I hope you realize my respect for Adobe as a company has decreased enormously because of this and that I feel deeply offended, since basically, you're treating us users like idiots, we who take valuable time out of our working days in trying to help improve your products. And guess what? Microsoft, a company for which I didn't have much consideration for, and usually doesn't give a damn about design, accepted my feedback enthusiastically. Life's full of surprises, isn't it?
Hope to hear from Adobe soon (that's the least yo could do really, if not, just to say "Go kill yourself")
An outraged paying customer"

Do programmers read this forum?

Curious...

Hi Kiko
As you know on the market there are thousands of products and on every of them you can find something that can be better or is not good enough.
I understand you what you mean but there is also other side: manufacturer can say there is specification and if you think it is not good enough for you choose other and better product.
End of the story.
To be honest before I buy some product (notebook, TV, navigation) I read some forums and pick up information from people who work with it. Comparing all these opinions I can create my own opinion and make decision to buy it or not.
Professional audio? Are you DJ? What you want to do exactly?
I am not an audio expert but I can imagine for professional audio you need additional software or even some external audio devices.
Anyway good luck.

Are SUN employees reading this forum? Please identify yourself.

Hello
A forum about a specific application is only valuable if the developers of the application are effectively checking the forum.
I have only seen user names like asn123, ada_li_li, boomers and similar; plus almost nobody has put some personal data available, like the country you work in and the company you work for.
Do you have something to hide? We are not developing unethical games nor forbidden software. Please be more open. Use meaningful names and identify yourself.
I would appreciate that especially Sun employees identify themselves. You have more authority than all the rest of us. Your replies will be read more seriously.
Thank you
Koen

What are you guys waiting to get the site down again and replace it with the last working version. If this is the experience you what java users to get when using java powered applications then I can only assume that java is no more.
BTW. more of those annoying errors "An error occurred trying to retrieve data from server. Please try again in a few minutes."
Maybe the forum maintenace is getting to expensive and Sun the greatest, Jonathan Schwartz, is also laying off the people responsable for its maintenance, or maybe yet, it is using Microsoft tools for free from their recent pact and this is the result, they are switching the previous java forum to the new .net shit.

Does anyone at Macromedia read this forum?

How can you put out an update that doesn't install correctly?
I have tried to install 8.0.1, then 8.0.2 and they MAY have
installed. Who knows! I still see "Dreamweaver 8.0" on the splash.
I am not running some exotic system; just XP, so where am I as far
as DW updates are concerned? And, from what I see on the forums, I
am not alone as far as problems are concerned...and, worse yet, I
don't see Macromedia/Adobe/whoever acknowledging that there is a
problem!
This scares the Hell out of me since I have quite a few DW
projects in my Macromedia folders and I can NOT afford to lose
them. Also a bunch of extensions.
Does ANYONE out there know what's going on?
FRUSTRATED...

Is DW running? What do you see when you use HELP | About
Dreamweaver, and
then click on the page that appears?

When reading this forum, backspace doesn't work.

It's basic coding in a forum that hitting backspace or return should put me back to the page I was reading! Instead, it goes back to page one each time! Really annoying.

Hi,
Are you on Chrome? If yes, then it is possible that your problem is same as http://forums.adobe.com/message/4691918#4691918
Please let us know if this is the case and whether the workarounds help you.
Thanks,

Do BT representatives read this forum, and if you ...

All you read about is the issue where the signal is lost, and you have to reboot to get all of the channels back.
It is very widespread, and clearly a FIRMWARE issue.
I myself suffer with this on a regular basis and it is INFURIATING.
It seems that no representative of BT comments, advises or cares about this issue, or indeed few others? If this is the case, what is the point of this official BT forum?
Optimistic I know, but a reply would be refreshing.

Do you think Apple is reading this forum?

I've heard that Apple doesn't really monitor the forums (at least the don't respond to posts). But if I were Steve Jobs, I would have several folks dedicated to just reading what everyone is saying about the new iPhone. Even if they are only silent observers, it would give them a clue as to what the problems and major complaints are. Personally, if I were Jobs, I would be ****** that EDGE is so slow. Add to that the exclusivity contract they have with AT&T. Hopefully they have a SLA (Service Level Agreement) for a certain level of acceptable service, and if they can't deliver that the deal is off. Who knows. I just hope they are interested enough to see what's going on here in the forums.
Alfredo

That is very cool. I am glad to hear that. I think Apple needs to know about how bad AT&T is. I know we're stuck with them, but I can see Steve Jobs giving them **** for messing up a good thing. Unless no one wants to tell him about "bad news" I realize that most people that are happy don't post here. I have read some good things this time around.

Apple support disscussions - where has this forum gone?

Developers - (if you are still there)
does anybody know where the apple support discussions is now held. I found this forum really useful for learning about iPhone programming.
Im not sure about this new setup.
james

I followed the instructions you directed me to, and after moving those two fles to the desktop, i go to system pref>network>assis me>assistant.
Going through that, i create a new location, than select 'I use airport to connect to the internet wirelessly'. I select the network that is ours, adn click connect. It runs for a bit, than the error message pops up saying "UNABLE TO ESTABLISH A NETWORK CONNECTION. Your computer could not connect to the internet. Click OK to go back and change your network settings and try again."
I push OK, go back try again, it does nothing. I quit, go under aurport settings, and instead of having it as automatic, i select preferred networks, and select mine as the only network under that.
I restart the computer, same problem happens. Open a web browser, says i am not connected, open my system prefs, and it reads: "AirPort is connected to the network xxxx. Aurport has a self-assigned IP Address and may not be able to connect to the internet."
I have full range on my router, the aurport is connected to the network, i just dont get an IP.
I go and renew the DHCP Lease, and it does nothing. Beside the IP Address, it reads a set of numbers which indicate its self assigned: "169.254.xxx.xxx"
To make things more confusing now, once i reset my system preferences, my roomate, who is running a mac, and couldnt connect to the internet at the same time i couldnt, could now connect. What is the next step for me to do?
Its not the router, because i have tried multiple routers. Its not the computer, because i did have a connection to this network prior to about 5 days ago, and i can still connect to the internet wirelessly at different locations. I reinstalled my os, updated it, nothing. I reset my system preferences and again nothing.
This is becoming a major problem, as i need this connection to do school work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

The more i read this forum the less i want an Iphone!
