Two New Things

Found two new things with the Kin TWOm today.  Maybe of value to some.
First, I was having trouble with my Hotmail outbox on the phone...kept giving error messages and wouldn't complete the send.  Finally had to delete the account on the phone. Now when adding the account back, depending on which Email account you want to see first, you may need to delete all of your Email accounts and rebuild them because they are sequential when swiping the email account pages with your finger.  Once I rebuilt the accounts, I was able to recompose the messages and resend successfully.  I cannot explain why the outbox was stuck.
Second, I found a means of capturing the screen as a photo.  Doesn't always work, but if you hold the home key and the camera button at the same time, you can sometimes get an image of whatever is on the screen.

Not quite sure why the outbox wasn't working, but it is nice to know that deleting and re-entering the emails fixed it (typical Microsoft?).
As far as screenshots go, i've always been able to capture a screenshot, with the exception of taking a screen of a video that is playing (it just appears black with the text title showing around it). It may just be that the buttons weren't completely (half of the camera button, not all the way; similar to how you focus the camera without taking a picture) pressed down when they didn't work on your device. It doesn't preview the screenshots, so you don't really know if it took them until after you look at the photos, but it should always take them.

  • How do I keep Microsoft from adding things to my computer. I have updates off, and recently they have put two new things on that I know of-bacause they caused a problem with my computer.

    How do I keep Microsoft from adding things to my computer. I have automatic updates off (because one of their updates caused my computer to crash), but recently they placed an add-on for Firefox that required much time to remove, and they also added something else that caused Outlook to not work. I don't know what else they might have added that I know nothing about.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == The crash was a few years ago, the other two events were within the last couple of months.

    In terms of the Firefox add-ons, see http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/.NET+Framework+Assistant
    For MS installing things that are not part of Firefox, I think you're better off asking in a Windows forum.

  • Two new iPhones 1 promotional gb for 24 mos finally added.  I have to jump hoops next year for the second gb (also 24 mos) owed to me.

    Here's the update.
    SO they finally added the extra gb for 24 mos on only one of two new iPhones that I bought in September. Count the months, it's been three months.  
    WHy is my issue only half resolved and they said it's going to stay that way?
    BEcause they said that, yes they have documentation from the rep that activated the first phone that it was her fault.  She did it in the incorrect order for the promo to work.  She was supposed to make sure that the right plan was on the acct before activating the phone. She tried to correct it that same day but she didn't have a way to do it so she advised me to wait for the delivery of my husbands phone (the second phone) and once I receive it, at that time I should try to correct her mistake. 
    I Knew it was fishy and right away I consulted with a manager at the local store where I had first heard of the promotion. He tried to help me for two months and came back empty handed because as he put it he has even less access compared to the reps in customer service. Eventually I gave him a break and also because promised calls from supervisors were not kept. So I called customer service myself and after one knowlegeable rep and one sympathetic supervisor the end result is a problem half resolved..  A second supervisor after that is the one that explained to me that they have no way of fixing the reps mistake and he suggested that I accept 1gb for a year instead of 2 years and that then I should call back once that expires and ask for it to be added back for a second year.
    I Said No.  I will not go through this again, it's not fair to me.  I said to him its been three months now since I started trying to get this resolved I'm not going to repeat that stress again next year.   As it is it never fails every two Years when I add on a new promotional phone, there's always some mess that I have to spend months clearing up.
    SO dissapointed.  I told him I was going to  give him a bit more time to make things right but I'm beginning to believe it's so hard for them that they prefer not to bother and instead try to fix it best they can within their department.  Unfortunately it adds to my inconvenience.  So I think im going to have to put a complaint with the public utility commission and the better business bureau.

  • How do you get your experts with negative stance for new things / innovations to HANA

    We have over 50 ABAP developer (senior experts). Primarily we develop in the old core module (SD, MM, FI, CO, HR, PP, CS, IH, PS) on ERP systems / business suite.
    We have three groups of developer:
    Group 1: They can’t await to work on new architectures – they’re open for all and have fun to work as a pioneer and dig in the deep of the system
    Group 2: For this developer it’s all the same – for this people it’s not a problem to go to a other architectures
    Group 3: They have no interest
    to work in new architectures
    to spend time to learn new things
    they are very closed for new things
    they have for all topics bad statements
    I am part of the group 1. In my opinion in the IT it’s normal to spend much time at new topics in free time to keep up to date. New topics / innovative things make the developer job very exciting. For me it’s regular process – and that’s my own passion .
    Since two month we have our own HANA system in our data centre as play field :-) (business suite on SAP HANA). I’ve some colleagues who made the HANA certification – and we made the first steps in our system. For group 1 and group 2 everything is okay and they’ve fun .
    We have problems with the group 3. They find every hair in the soup – they spend very much time to search arguments against HANA. That’s our “negative group” . We copied our SAP System to a new system and made a technical migration. Now they compare the SAP System, which is based on an oracle datebase, with the new SAP System which is based on a HANA System. They go through the standard ERP process (offer / order / purchase order / goods movements / delivery / MM invoice / SD invoice / material master data / customer master data / vendor master data / conditions / financial bookings / etc.). They main argument is, that they can’t see a grow up of the performance / the added value of the invest / etc. Our other problem is that the group of this people have experience over 20 years in ABAP developing – and their opinion have a high weight. The other arguments: IBM and oracle are working on similar architectures – and we can hold on on the open sqlsyntax / on the present coding.
    Have you similar problems to get the acceptance of group 3?
    Have you tips / tricks for us?
    Have you ideas for catching the group 3?
    What standard components are really optimized for HANA?
    In which standard components can we see a really performance grow up?
    There are standard use cases to see the differences?
    Which data volume do we need in the data model to see the differences?
    What can we do to take the group 3 with us?
    How can we open the group 3 for innovations?

    Hi,
    Please find my reply below.
    1. Have you similar problems to get the acceptance of group 3?
    In IT world we have similar groups. Only results help this group3. I would suggest showcasing on results.
    2. Have you tips / tricks for us?
    As you mentioned in your email, you already have HANA System to play with. So I would suggest looking at high performance transactions like MRP run and FICO Month-end Close.
    3. Have you ideas for catching the group 3?
    SAP has few use cases. Take-up these use cases build data models and use in ERP.
    4. What standard components are really optimized for HANA?
    Recently in our organization we replaced database from DB2 with HANA. Now our SAP ECC is running on HANA. Straight away we have seen 30% of performance improvement in all the transactions. SAP is providing optimized SAP Transactions and there is significant performance improvement and SAP Road Map clearly talks about providing more optimized SAP Transactions on top of HANA to its customers.
    We tried to push some of our high performance code to DB layer by creating the Data Models and using those views in SAP ABAP Programs or Transactions. This gave us significant performance improvement.
    Please refer to below document. This has list of standard optimized transactions.
    Link
    5. In which standard components can we see a really performance grow up?
    This blog throws light on following high performance transactions.
    Link
    6. There are standard use cases to see the differences?
    Use Case
    7. Which data volume do we need in the data model to see the differences?
    MRP run transaction has huge performance issue you can work on MRP Run data model.
    8. What can we do to take the group 3 with us?
    Only Proof of Concepts (POC) results will help to take this group.
    9. How can we open the group 3 for innovations?
    As per your email, I feel group 3 is most demotivated group. I would suggest to talk to each individual and understand there areas of interest and try to put them in their areas of interest. As per my experience this will give good results.

  • I sync photos from my comp onto my iphone 5 and it made my phone create two new albums which won't delete. HOW DO I DELETE THEM?

    I uploaded photos from my laptop onto my iPhone 5 through iTunes and when I went into my photos app on my phone, I went into "Camera Roll" to see if they were there which they weren't. So I went to where all the albums in my photos app are and I saw that two new albums called "iPhone" (name of folder with photos in I wanted to transfer that was in my documents before I sync them) and "Photo Library". When I went into both albums I wanted to see if I could delete them, so just like every other photo there is a trash can on the bottom right corner but for the photos in these albums didn't have it. I then went back to the list of albums and clicked on edit, hoping the little red circle with a white line would come up so I could delete it, just like I do with any other album, but these two albums didn't give me the option to delete. I tried going into iTunes to see if I could delete the few selected photos from there but it wouldn't let me. I tried going into the devices thing which was suggested for iPhone 4s people but it didn't have everything else people told me to do. I am an extreamly fussy person and want them to go away but I just can't delete them because they won't let me. Is there anyone who has been through the same situation and ended up deleting the albums off their phone? PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE!! (I'm not talking about albums we choose to make because that's easy and actually lets me delete them as these two albums won't)

    This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
    There are NOT duplicate photos.
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  all  photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
    It is working exactly as it should.

  • Two new problems with the Quicktime Plug-in

    I recently discovered two new problems with the current Quicktime Plug-in for Mac OS X.
    First, the Quicktime Plug-in is unable to stream Quicktime media in any internet browsers other than Safari.
    There is just nothing on the spot where the embedded Quicktime player should be.
    Second, the Quicktime Plug-in only shows the message "The operation couldn't be completed. This file is not a movie file (-2048)"
    everytime it should work together with the Flip4Mac Plug-in. The thing is, when facing a webpage where a wmv or wma file is
    embedded, there only shows that error message on the spot where the player should exist. I first thought that it would be a
    problem with Flip4Mac. So I uploaded about this problem on telestream.net, only to hear that the error message above belongs
    to the Quicktime Plug-in.
    Both of these problems did not happen at all only three weeks ago. The embedded Quicktime player showed up without any problem
    in my Firefox and Opera, and wmv or wma files were streamed successfully through the Flip4Mac and Quicktime Plug-ins.
    Then, suddenly, after some point, these two problems began to occur, and there is no information on how to solve them on the web.
    I obviously tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime. I even completely erased the hard disk of my Macbook, and reinstalled the
    whole Mac OS X. But the problems still remained. I borrowed another Macbook from my friend to check whether these problems
    occur in other computers, and they did occur in my friend's Macbook as well. So they are definitely not the matter of my own Macbook only.
    I think these might be the problems with the new Quicktime Plug-in 7.7.1.
    Please check about these problems and solve them on the next version of the Quicktime Plug-in.
    I will give you a couple of hyperlinks so that you can check about the problems directly.

  • Two new IDE-Controllers after BIOS update, but not installable

    Hi there,
    i recently updated my bios to the latest version and now the following strange thing happens:
    when i boot my machine (875P NEO, P4 2.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 2 Otical drives at IDE0, 2 S-ATA drives at the S-ATA-controller, WIN XP SP), there are two new IDE (primary and secondary) Chanels to be found by the system.
    Windows seems to act normal as it states them "new device found" (all that in german as i live here and tries to install the proper drivers, i think.
    but then the new-devices-assistant pops up and tells me, that they cannot be installed because there are no drivers for my system.
    i even used the actual inf-drivers from the msi-site.
    that will happen at every start. in the hardware-manager there are both ide-devices marked as non-functional with a yellow sign in front of them with a exclamation mark in it.
    oh, and my office installation wants the same .cab-file from the installation-cd everytime i boot the system.
    the bios was the only thing changed.
    does anyone have an idea whatr to do?
    thanks in advance, cpo
    (hope that all is understandable

    yeah, seems like the same symptoms.
    my version was 3.6 from october 2004. Version 3.5 from september works fine except for the cpu temperature beeing displayed too high in bios...
    rollback to 2.5 did not work, still the same though i did not do the thing with the cmos-reset via jumper. will try this today...

  • Why after two new updates can I know longer watch or download movies?

    This morning firefox updater advised me that two new addons would be installed as soon as I restarted Firefox, which I did straight away. When I opened up a webpage and clicked on a movie to watch everything froze. I couldn't open any other tabs either. Earlier I didn't have a problem with watching movies. It was only when the two new updates were installed and I do not know what they were. I even unistalled Firefox and reinstalled the latest version (which I already had anyway) but this made no difference. It seems that it is only happening when I try to watch or download things. I haven't had this trouble in the past. Although Firefox does crash fairly regularly.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • Two odd things

    Hey guys, I've noticed two odd things with my iPod Touch:
    1. If you have two or more tracks by different artists but with the same track and album name, the iPod will only show the album of the first (alphabetically) artist when browsing by album name.
    For example, take Seal's "Amazing" from the album "Amazing" and George Michael's "Amazing" from the album "Amazing". If you copy those two tracks to your iPod, you will only see...
    Amazing
    George Michael
    ...in the album list.
    2. I have a contact in Outlook 2007 that has his birthday on August 14th, 1973. Outlook displays the correct date in the calender and when opening the contact. However, when syncing with my iPod, the iPod displays that the contact has his birthday on August 13th, 1973 and when opening the calender the birthday spans across two days (from August 14th, 23:00 to August 15th, 23:00). What could be the reason for this? I also tried deleting the contact in Outlook and creating it from scratch with the same effect. I also told iTunes to replace all contacts and calender entries from the iPod with the ones stored on my PC without success. My SE phone syncs correctly so I doubt it's a problem with Outlook.

    One more thing... If I correct the contact and calender entry on my iPod and then sync with the PC, Outlook 2007 will display two bithday events: its old one that was correct and a new one that spans across two days like it used to be on the iPod. Also, the birthday when opening the contact in Outlook 2007 is no longer correct.
    So basically, the information is either correct in Outlook but not on the iPod or vice versa.

  • RAM-two new ones or one new one and the one i've got?

    Hi
    I've got a MBP which i use for editing graphics, movies, websites etc. With dreamweaver, photoshop, flash and other stuff all open my free ram gets pretty small.
    If i were to upgrade to 4GB should i buy two new 2 gig or just one and use the one i've got already?
    Thanks
    Iz

    Izaak,
    It is important that the RAM is a matched pair, identical in every way, so unless you can buy RAM that is identical with the one already in the computer (just having the same GB is not enough, needs to be same brand, same specs etc. Probably the wisest thing is to buy a matched pair and replace the current RAM. Apple resellers often sell non-Apple RAM and I would be asking their advice if I were considering buying just one. They are likely to know what to match with what if they have good staff.
    Also RAM is very sensitive to any level of static electricity. Be very careful to ground everything as you install it.

  • Strange behaviour on two New BM3.9sp1 servers

    Hi All
    Environment BM3.9sp1, fresh install on NW6.5SP7 with tcp patch, Surfcontrol, 16GB ram, Dell PE2950's.
    On two new servers we are seeing this wierd error whereby i can be viewing "www.amazon.com" and all is working great, then i perhaps wait a while then try and go back and for some reason i cannot connect to that site at all but i can to others.
    However if i switch my proxy to "newserver2" then it works for a while until it doesnt and then i have to switch back then all is well again!. This isnt just for amazon that is just an example. Ive tried the proxy.cfg file from craigs site but i still am experiencing the same results.
    Is BM somehow refusing to send me a page until a timeout period?. Its worth mentioning that when this happens collegues also cannot view that site going via the same proxy.
    The site does resolve when i ping, as i thought it may be DNS but nope, a reboot will fix it.
    Anyone got any ideas or have i cocked up the install somewhere?.
    Cheers
    Julian

    Yes, in tip #1 at my web site, I recommend tcp681k after NW65sp7. Also
    wsock6o and nwlib6l.
    If you put on NW65SP8 (not yet listed in my tip #1, but I've been testing
    it), you get tcp 6.82/6.92.

    Thanks Craig, i have applied them patches and things seem well. To be honest i think i have traced the actual error i was receiving to a bug in Firefox 3 with static images and caching.
    Can i bother you with a non-technical question?!, do you know of a roadmap for BorderManager (if any), are Novell going Astaro with Linux as its replacement and if they are how good will the eDirectory integration.

    In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in.  Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.
