Time to make our voices heard

Hi,
I am currently on my 3rd Sony phone and will probably buy another Sony phone after my current one. I think they have the best mix of quality, aesthetic, performance and small size (I like small). I could also go back to iPhone if things gets bad with Sony. I do not have a problem waiting a few weeks, even months for an update to come out. Most other companies also take a lot of time and this time around, Sony has been relatively quick at doing the update (it was baaaad before). The process of getting an update out is arduous and Sony deserves some credits on getting the update out fairly quick.
However when an update is out, it should offer improvements, not bugs! Some bugs are inevitable but major ones? The version 4.0.4 even killed features of the phone (LED), making the phone less useful than before. If that was not bad enough, we have had no clear message on a fix. Fixing issues should be done FAST.
It's great that we have this forum to report issues and provide comments, but it is just too convenient to keep all the bad feedback isolated here. I think we should start getting outselves heard a bit more. Express our discontent on their Facebook, Google+, and their blog.I am pretty sure that will be better motivation than if we keep it here in the forum.
Now, a few rules before we go out there: No swearing. We need to pass a message, and not show how colorful our vocabulary can be.
Keep the point on fixing issues and proving support to existing users. If we all go about asking for our personal wishes or features we want, the message will get diluted.
And the more we comment out there, the faster we will get noticed... So keep posting everyday.

Heres my words from another thread:
Start-Rant
Lets see, name a few BIG FAMOUS CAPABLE companies who are currently running at a LOSS.
1. RESEARCH IN MOTION (RIM): THE GUYS WHO MADE BLACKBERRY
2. NOKIA: TO SAY THE TRUTH, THE GUYS WHO MADE MOBILES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF LIFE FOR ME AND MANY MANY MANY MORE USERS WORLDWIDE
3. SONY: THE GUYS WHO IMBUED WONDERFUL HARDWARE WITH TRUE JAPANESE TECH TO BRING IN A REVOLUTION IN ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY WITH CUTTING EDGE STYLE, VIDEO, MUSIC
So we all know how SONY is handling it. Lets see how:
1. Faulty updates, multiple reboots to be done for proper mobile operations
2. LATE to say the least in providing essential updates for mobiles SOLD with ICS LOGOS on the BOXES.
3. Hiding information, providing misinformation, and hindering the freedom of free expression of one of the single greatest contriutors to this forum.
Lets see how the others are handling the situation:
RIM: http://crackberry.com/rim-rebuilding-their-fanbase-one-person-time
Nokia: http://pocketnow.com/2012/05/26/nokia-wants-to-call-and-help-you-with-your-new-phone/#!prettyPhoto
Sony needs to be open and supporting to the present customers. How?
1. Give REAL INFO
2. REAL DATES
3. BUG FREE UPDATES
4. ACKNOWLEDGE Mistakes
5. Respect CUSTOMERS and long time FORUM USERS
End-Rant

HT204347 When I use FaceTime with friends who are currently outside of UK, I cannot make my voice heard after about 20mins' chatting. While this situation will be better if I restart my MBP,but only better in around 20mins.

When I was setting up the language Setting, I pressed the play/pause button three times and now the voice that talks you through everything speaks extremely fast. How do I get her to speak slower?

Why would make a voice recognition software and not give it the ability to unlock your iphone for you?

Seriously why would you make a voice recognition software on a phone that can't unlock your phone for you? That makes absolutly no sense. Maybe you should consider adding that feature in your next update.

Nothing is difficult for the person who doesn't have to do it or doesn't understand it. I would never use it on a device based on the current state of the art; it would be too easy to spoof. Keep in mind that Siri does not do speech recognition on the phone; it does it on Apple's (actually Nuance's) servers; it sends your input over a data connection to the server where the work is actually done, then the reply is sent back. Using the same technology for speaker identification would mean keeping a database of potentially 500 million users and being able to search it fast enough to unlock your phone. AND it would require a data connection. So you couldn't unlock your phone in Airplane mode, for example.
So that means that it would have to be able to recognize your voice entirely on the phone. I'm reasonably sure that's not what Samsung does; I suspect what they do is speaker independent recognition of your chosen passphrase, possibly taking into account tonality. Which means that anyone who heard you unlock your phone with a voice in the same pitch range as you could unlock it after stealing it. It also wouldn't work very well in a noisy environment.
I love Touch ID. It works perfectly almost every time, I don't have to say anything (which is a great convenience when using your phone in a meeting), and it's faster than speaking a phrase. And to use a voice password you would still have to push a button to wake the phone; on my 5S pushing the button wakes AND unlocks the phone. I don't have to say a thing.

How many times can a podcast be heard /$$ .imac space

I understand how many times a podcast can be heard ( based on the size of the podcast ) per unit of space I buy but imac doesn't tell you how much it costs to buy extra units if you want to upgrade to more storage space, ~~ without giving your credit card number first and purchasing the original storage space for $99.
I can't really figure out if it is worth purchasing the space. my first podcast is 67 MB right now with one GB of storage / transfer units, that podcast can only be heard one time.
so I have garage band and can make podcasts but don't have the information I need to move forward to publish my podcast.

I believe your talking about .Mac account that has I think 10Gb of storage. 10 gigs is a lot of podcast nothing to worry about for a few years. As for how much monthly bandwidth you get I don't know but you probably would have to be in the thousands of downloads a month before you come up to any restrictions.

IPhoto starts every time we boot our MBP

iPhoto starts up every time we boot our MBP from a full shutdown. How do we make it stop?
Thanks!

Since you are learning, when you right-click or ctrl-click on a dock icon, you will get a contextual menu. One of the Items is to have the program start at login. You may have accidentally done this with iPhoto which may explain how it got into the login items.

Faster running time or making our Vi faster

Hello,
We are communicating with 4 RGB lights using a DMX usb interface and we have attached picture of the Vi in which we are working.Our Vi works as we want (on/off state with different colors) but the problem we have is the time.The running takes a lot of time and the transition from one modé to the other is very slow and not so efficient.
First of all,do you think that using arrays or Visa makes our Vi slower or it doesnt affect so much?
Secondly, is there any way to reduce the time (for example by using another structure or wiring) or it wont make any difference?
Here is the link of our project in order to understand the whole concept.
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/LabView-using-Visa-and-USB-interface-to-program-lighs/m-p/2842422#U2...
Images of front panel and blog diagram for the LED1 is attached below (The system works on the same way for the rest of the 3 lights).
Any replies will be helpful.
Thank you in advance.

Then you must be using a while loop instead of the Run Continously mode. When you do it this way, you are configuring the serial port everytime which will certainly taken time. Use a while loop, before entering the loop configure the VISA session and then do the operation inside the loop and switch to different modes by using case structure. Take some LabVIEW basic tutorials which will help you to understand how LabVIEW works.
The best solution is the one you find it by yourself

Hi again
FWIW, I believe what is being referenced is in the Microsoft bulletin linked below:
Click here to view
I'd like to point out that the date of the bulletin is July 28, 2009. So it seems odd that suddenly it would become a big deal for someone. Further, if there were any issues that Captivate or the installation of Captivate could or should address, I'm confident that Adobe would have taken every measure to post an update to Captivate as a result.
As this has not happened, I can only assume that they are aware of the issue and it's a moot point as far as Captivate and its output files are concerned.
Cheers... Rick

I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 4 to iOS 7 now they both drop all my contents all my notes go missing I keep having to turn it off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call and the scroll rarely works is there anything I can do?

I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 now my phone constantly deletes all my contacts and takes days to download them from my iCloud again, constantly needs to be turned off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call, the scroll rarely works, is there anything I can do, the apple tech told me it was something I'd just have to get used to, my phone worked perfectly before the update.

Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is always talking. How do I make her voice go away and my IPAD work like it should.

If you've turned VoiceOver on then see if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and then change what Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home is set to.
Otherwise, via 'the touch to select double-tap to activate' process you need to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

Every time I make a call or I'm receiving a call my phone is extremely static i can't hear the person on the other line and the person on the other line cannot hear anything They say that they hear a lot of static now my videos when I play a video on YouT

Every time I make a call or I'm receiving a call my phone is extremely static i can't hear the person on the other line and the person on the other line cannot hear anything They say that they hear a lot of static now my videos when I play a video on YouTube for instance works just fine Siri works just fine. I can't make a call or receive a call whatsoever because all I hear is static and I haven't dropped the phone in water nothing has really happened this literally happened overnight

This is a wireless carrier issue. The fact that the speaker & microphone work properly for other apps is a great indicator that your device is fine.
Contact your wireless carrier about your call quality issue.

Does Time Machine make bootable backups?

I used a beautiful backup program called Backup Simplicity in Tiger that made a bootable Exact duplicate of my HD into my external drive. That's really I want to do.
This morning I tried Time Machine for the first time. It only put a backup folder on my external drive. That's not what I want to do.
So here's my question, if I totally erase my external drive will Time Machine make a bootable duplicate of my HD on my external drive also?
Also, is there a way to schedule Time Machine for backups manually?

No, TimeMachine doesn't create a bootable backup, nor can it be controlled manually. The purpose of TimeMachine is to work behind the scenes backing up changed files. Later, when you realize something is amiss, you can 'go back in time' and fix the problem. Admittedly, I'm a little shaky on the details of just how flexible the retrieval system is since I've not yet played with that feature yet. But as I understand it, if you installed a new program and your computer suddenly started going nuts, you'll be able to use TimeMachine to restore your computer to the point before you installed that program. Or, if you realize you improperly edited a file, you'll be able to retrieve the file prior to that editing session.
Apple's team realized three things: 1) most of us don't take the time to perform backups even though we know we should be doing it. 2) most of us don't really understand how to develop a good backup strategy. 3) computers today are so powerful that most of the time the CPU isn't working hard at all and those extra cycles might as well be put to use doing something useful. Hence, TimeMachine's design.
As you noticed, TimeMachine makes a folder and does its incremental backups inside. Since I have an external drive that is much larger than my boot/data drive, I'll continue to clone my boot drive to this external once a week, just as I've been doing. If disaster strikes and I need to use the computer right now, I can do so and at worst my data will be one week out of date. (I should then be able to use TimeMachine to retrieve the missing data but the important thing is that I'm up and running again as soon as I've rebooted.) Later (or if I have the time right away) I'll use TimeMachine to restore/replace my boot drive.
