Thunderbolt updates do more harm than good

When I got the Thunderbolt on the release date I was lucky enough to get a phone that was functioning perfectly. I didn't have any connection or reboot errors that were being reported from launch. Then came the first update a few months ago...suddenly my phone starts to reboot itself 3+ times a day and dropping phone calls randomly. Verizon kept telling me to wait it out there's an update coming that will fix the reboot issues and all will be right with the world. Well I got the update last week and while my phone hasn't rebooted on its own, my phone no longer holds the network. The new update added a toggle so that I can choose to use the 4g network or just 3g and while it holds the 4g network nice and strong, when I set it to only 3g (because I prefer my phone to make it through the day without having to charge every 20 minutes) it drops the network every few minutes and takes sometimes up to a half hour of reboots and toggling to get it to reconnect...only to disconnect again a few minutes later. So far verizon is 0 for 2 with updates. They seem to cause more problems than they fix. 

I do not see a positive outcome when a user install a firmware update / bugfix over a already configured device, the update has to update a large amount of files and if a app makes it not possible to access a required file this can make a good update go way bad, try a hard rest and see if this resolves your issue.

    My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

  • Duplicate solutions seem to cause more harm than good

    Like many other posts I have seen, I also have many duplicates in my library. I have had two experiences trying to delete them and both resulted in a loss of music. I don't want all of these dups, but I sure don't want to lose music I have purchased or taken the time to load into Itunes. Here are the two ways I tried to delete duplicates:
    1. On my HP Pavilion a1214n desktop running Windows XP and the latest download of ITunes (8.0.??), I had many duplicates and the following describes how I tried to delete them. I don't understand what I did wrong or why I lost my music/most of my library.
    From my Music folder, I sorted by song name and deleted the extra copies of songs I saw. Right after that, the remaining songs started showing up with an apostrophy next to them and I couldn't access them. The error message said I should find the song in the library and play it and then brought up a dialog box for me to drill down into a library to find a song - but I couldn't find the songs in the library. I lost probably half of my library, mostly cd's I had loaded in but also songs I had purchased from the ITunes store.
    I did consolidate my library after that as a result of my research on that issue, but I don't understand why my library got so messed up and why I lost much of it just because I deleted songs that appeared in the library multiple times.
    2. On my Gateway MC7801u laptop running Windows Vista Premium with SP1 and the latest download of ITunes 64 bit (8.0.???), I also have many duplicates. I did not want to mess it up like my desktop so I followed the instructions in the items I found when I searched on Duplicates in the ITunes Windows forum. Those response referred me to: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1417. If the songs shown when I select show duplicates truly are duplicates, I don't understand why the song whose duplicates I deleted are now gone from my library.
    The support link said to go to the file menu, select show duplicates, and delete whatever duplicates you choose to. I don't want any duplicates (I had 275 I believe) and so I selected all of the songs on the first screen and deleted them. I took note of the first song just so I could ensure it was still in my library after deleting the duplicates. I performed the delete, selected show all, and the song was no longer in my library. Why is that?
    How can I eliminate duplicates without losing any songs or hurting my library?
    Have I done something wrong here? Why did I lose music from my library?
    Thanks,

    Before you do anything else, go look in the windows recycle bin and see if you can restore the song files you deleted.
    The show duplicates does just that - it shows BOTH copies. So by deleting both copies you deleted everything. iTunes is too stupid to just show you just the one good copy you want to save, in other words.

  • Delete DML statment takes more time than Update or Insert.

    i want to know whether a delete statement takes more time than an update or insert DML command. Please help in solving the doubt.
    Regards.

    i do not get good answers sometimes, so, i ask again.I think Alex answer to your post was quite complete. If you missed some information, continue the same post, instead of opening a new thread with the same subject and content.
    You should be satistied with the answers you get, I also answered your question about global indexes, and I do think my answer was very complete. You may ask more if you want, but stop multiposting please. It is quite annoying.
    Ok, have a nice day

  • Sender JDBC adapter SELECT / UPDATE issue - updates more rows than selected

    Hi,
    We have configured a Sender JDBC Adapter to poll records from an Oracle table based on a flag field and then update the flag for the selected records. When tested in DEV and QA environments (where test data comes in intermittently and not in huge volumes), itu2019s working fine.
    Both SELECT and UPDATE queries written in the Sender JDBC adapter are getting properly executed and are changing the status of the flag for the selected records from Y to N once read from the database.
    select * from <table> where flag = 'N'.
    update <table> set flag = 'Y' where flag = 'N'.
    But in the PROD environment (with records getting updated in the database every second), after XI executes the SELECT query and just before the UPDATE query is executed, new records come into the Oracle table with status flag 'N". So when the UPDATE query runs just after the SELECT query, then these unselected records also get updated to 'Y'. Thus these records never get into the resultset and hence XI and thus remain unprocessed.
    So when XI does a SELECT and UPDATE on the Oracle DB table and concurrently there is an INSERT happening into the table from the other end, the JDBC sender adapter is picking up a certain number of records but updating the status of more records than it picked up.
    So how does XI deal with such a common scenario without dropping records?
    Thanks,
    Vishak

    The condition being checked is the same for both SELECT and UPDATE statements.
    Initially I tried setting transaction isolation levels on the database to repeatable_read and serializable but it was throwing me a java.sql.SQLException error saying that these transaction levels were not valid.
    I asked for these transaction level permissions for the XI user from my DBA but the DB I am accessing provides only a view into other databases and so it's not possible.

  • Delete DML statment tales more time than Update or Insert.

    i want to know whether a delete statement takes more time than an update or insert DML command. Please help in solving the doubt.
    Regards.

    I agree: the amount of ROLLBACK (called UNDO) and ROLLFORWARD (called REDO) information written by the various statement has a crucial impact on the speed.
    I did some simple benchmarks for INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE using a 1 million row simple table. As an alternative to the long UPDATEs and DELETEs, I tested also the usual workarounds (which have only partial applicability).
    Here are the conclusions (quite important in my opinion, but not to be taken as universal truth):
    1. Duration of DML statements for 1 million rows operations (with the size of redo generated):
    --- INSERT: 3.5 sec (redo: 3.8 MB)
    --- UPDATE: 24.8 sec (redo: 240 MB)
    --- DELETE: 26.1 sec (redo: 228 MB)
    2. Replacement of DELETE with TRUNCATE
    --- DELETE: 26.1 sec (rollback: 228 MB)
    --- TRUNCATE: 0.1 sec (rollback: 0.1 MB)
    3. Replacement of UPDATE with CREATE new TABLE AS SELECT (followed by DROP ols and RENAME new AS old)
    --- UPDATE: 24.8 sec (redo_size: 240 MB)
    --- replacement: 3.5 sec (rollback: 0.3 MB)

  • When I update applications more than one account appears.  How do I delete second account

    when I update applications more than one account appears.  How do I delete second account?

    I'm wondering if you have to Apples IDs or iTunes IDs and have puchased apps on both accounts.I have the same issue, and must supply both accounts' passwords in order to update apps. From my research here, there's no way to merge the two accouts. It is aggrivating, indeed.

  • Is Live Update helpful yet, or still more problems than fixes?

    Hi
    my 180 has been running decently for a while now.  The only thing that still makes me want to hang myself is this asinine problem with the sound card occasionally disappearing, requiring an unplugged reboot.
    I shut off live update a while back because it seemed to create more problems than it fixed. can anyone confirm whether there is anything in there that addresses the sound card issue?
    Also, there appears to be a new BIOS featuring an option to "Enable USB Keyboard Latency".  I am currently using a wireless USB keyboard and mouse with no problems.  Do I care about the new BIOS?
    Here's my current version info (mine on the left, MSI's on the right)
    BIOS-   3.3      3.5
    Live VGA Driver-   4467      6681
    all other are up to date with live update.  I have been very gun shy about letting it update these, since it seemed to cause so much trouble over the summer.  Can anyojne shed some light on whether these updates are necessary?
    tia!

    okay, i guess it is a deluxe model. i initially thought the deluxes were the ones that could run dvds in hifi mode.
    anywho, it finally lost the sound card again.  it was an interesting feeling being excited about it for once, because i could continue this thread.
    the speaker icon in the taskbar disappeared, and the nvidia drivers vanished from "sound, video, and game controllers"  device manager (both nforce codec and nforce processor). msi live update doesn't find anything new, but just for giggles i clicked "update driver" from the properties tab on both, and windows was able to find new drivers.
    at this point, i assume that noone has found a solution, so I'll keep updating this thread for those who are fellow sufferers.
    Another thought on the heat issue, the outside temps hit 66 degrees fahrenheit today (who said january?), so i wonder if that raised the temp in the cabinet just enough?

    Keep in mind you can also use the optical drive of another computer to upgrade OS X. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2129 has information on how to do that. This works on a Windows PC as well as a Mac.
