Ios 7 no longer displays my credit balance after I send/call, why?

I am a pay as you go customer. Since I have updated my phone to ios7, I am no longer notified of my credit balance each and every time I send a message or end a call. why is this and is there a quick fix?
Regards

Hi. I have a further update!
I called Tesco they had me call the handset techs but they couldn't help and thought it was a billing/account/notification issue so I was transfered. I then spoke to a helpful tech support person who reset the notifications (which they do centrally) and restarted the phone. No effect. The on chatting she implied that O2 was probably still checking out the 7.02 update and the compatibilities of the update. She pointed out that the carriers are often behind the Apple curve as Apple calls the shots on updates, whereas the carriers directly influence the rate of Android and Windows Phone releases. She said they could provide no more help and that I should contact Apple in case it was a known issue at their end.
So I have two live chats today with Apple USA. Awesome support. Very nice experience but no solution. They agreed with my diagnosis that the issue was either carrier settings or Apple software. We ran a suite of diagnostics and they thought it seemed the "show balance" screen was crashing or causing error. They had be restore a vanilla 7.02, which I did. I then blasted through setup avoiding restoring backup. I only added in wifi and the icloud account for running diagnostics. I did this twice, first eschewing the Tesco carrier update, no effect. The second time I accepted the carrier update, no effect.
I have just restore for the third time and re-established my data from the backup. No effect.
Had another live chat with the States as UK support is shut. They said I have done everything possible and that they was to escalate to the software engineers. However, I need to call in for that. I have pdfs of all the records and the support IDs. But to be honest the phone works in all other ways and I don't want to RMA it. I am convinced more that ever that the issue is a carrier setting issue. The settings, sim, apps and data are identical but work on an iPhone 5 and not an iPhone 5s. I just think O2 and its partners need to tweak the carrier settings or notifications somehow for the 5s. As a result I'm tempted to hold out for future updates.
Any thoughts or solutions out there?

In incoming call, why iphone 4S (ios 7.04) sometimes gives option to decline the call and sometimes not?

In incoming call, why iphone 4S (ios 7.04) sometimes gives option to decline the call and sometimes not?

Try to do this experience.
Ask a person with a block phone to call you and the option to reject doesn´t appear. Try with a non-blocked phone and the option of reject appears.
I think it´s an iOS 7 problem.

HT4623 person contact image does not appear while on a call,why?

person contact image does not appear while on a call,why?

when you say "Re-upload the image", do you mean reinsert it, or re-link it?
Neither.
Re-upload it to the web server from your local hard drive. In DW, click on the image file in the Files panel then click the Up arrow to Put the image to the server.
If that does not work, do as Nancy suggests and re-create the image in your image editor then re-upload.

When making calls why they cant hear me but i can hear them?

When making calls why they cant hear me but i can hear them?

good question. try to record a voice memo on your phone. if you can't hear yourself, it means likely that your mic isn't working, which would explain why no one can hear you on the phone

For one thing, true call blocking (ie. where the call NEVER actually connects through to your number) can only be done by the service provider at their switches.
The best a device can do is allow the call to connect, and then use the caller ID information to compare that to a list of allowed and a list of disallowed caller IDs. That is a feature known as blacklisting, but it is not the same as actually blocking a call completely.
So as suggested, contact your carrier and ask what they can do for you.

Why calls to Ukraine via Skype more expensive than...

Hello there!
I often call to Ukraine from Canada to stationary and mobile phones. I would like to use Skype. But the phone companies offers a lowest rate than Skype. Why? Do you plan to change something?
Now my phone calls to stationary phones cost 6 cents per minute. To mobile phones 9 cents per minute. No any extra fees.
Please take this into consideration.

Reasons:
Australian import duties
Australian taxes on foreign imports
Australian VAT
Got complaints? Talk to your politicians. Apple has nothing to do with it.

Why so expensive?

I have a basic phone with a service other than Verizon, and get 100 minutes for $10 a month. The minutes roll over and it's more than enough minutes for me. Why does Verizon charge THREE times more? BTW ... the service I get uses the Verizon network. Plus, the Samsung phones they're charging $50 or $100 for online can be bought at Walmart for $1. Does Verizon want to make customers mad ... or do they just not care?

If that's all you need is talk and the coverage is good then stick to the service you have. Some people like my husband have to stick to Verizon. He just has a basic talk and text phone but has to be on Verizon as besides AT&T that is the only carrier that works where he travels to work every day since it's out in the boonies. I was on T-Mobile for a year with truly unlimited 4g data, unlimited talk and text and 3g mobile hot spot for $50 a month no contract but most times I only got 2g where I traveled and it was so slow it wasn't worth it but the calling and texting were good and I had to pay a high price for my phone since you get no phone deals and have to buy the phone out right and the good smart phones are expensive retail. Now at least the areas I go too with Verizon I get 4g lte or 3g which is much better. Mary

Microphone Activity Level at -1 even though Microphone.getMicrophone() is called, why?

Hi There,
I'm setting up an application where I need to record users' voice every so often during the course of the users' interaction with the application. Recording is fine, and the quality is fine, but now my issue is understandng how Flash handles the microphone when it gets attached to a stream for publishing.
Basically, the problem is that when I "publish" my stream, the voice gets cut off (clipped) at the beginning. So, I initially thought this may have to do with buffer settings on the FMS server side, but it wasn't. Then I investigated client side stuff. For some reason, my internal mic .activityLevel property is -1 even though I have called Microphone.getMicrophone(). According to Flash's documentation, this shouldn't be the case:
activityLevel    property
activityLevel:Number [read-only]
Language Version :     ActionScript 3.0
Player Version :     Flash Player 9
The amount of sound the microphone is detecting. Values range from 0 (no sound is detected) to 100 (very loud sound is detected). The value of this property can help you determine a good value to pass to the Microphone.setSilenceLevel() method.
If the microphone is available but is not yet being used because Microphone.getMicrophone() has not been called, this property is set to -1.
Okay, I understand that fine. So, here is my code. I am using a timer to investigate the microphone .activityLevel property every 50 milliseconds:
package
    import fl.controls.Button;
    import fl.controls.TextInput;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.net.NetConnection;
    import flash.net.NetStream;

    import flash.events.MouseEvent;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.media.Microphone;

    public class MinRecord extends Sprite
          private var nc:NetConnection;
          private var ns:NetStream;

       private var recTimer:Timer = new Timer(4000, 1);
       private var recID:String = "userVoc";
       private var recording:Boolean = true;
          //Constructor
          function MinRecord ()
            nc=new NetConnection();
               nc.addEventListener (NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,checkConnect);
               rtmpNow="rtmp://www.fmsurl.tv/app";
               nc.connect(rtmpNow);
            mic = Microphone.getMicrophone();
            micTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, showMicData);
            recTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, recVoice);
            recTimer.start();
       private function showMicData(e:Event):void
            trace( mic.name + "Level: " + mic.activityLevel);
       private function recVoice(e:TimerEvent):void
          ns.close();
          private function addMedia():void
             mic.rate = 22;
          private function checkConnect (e:NetStatusEvent):void
               msg=(e.info.code=="NetConnection.Connect.Success");
               if (msg)
                     ns = new NetStream(nc);
                      addMedia();
               startRecord();
          private function startRecord():void
            trace("Start recording process");
               if (ns)
               micTimer.start();
                     ns.attachAudio(mic);
                     ns.publish(recID,"record");
               trace("Speak for file:" + recID + ".flv");
          private function stopRecord ():void
               ns.close ();
Here are the trace statements from my output window when I run this program. My question is why the level is at -1 at the time of publising the stream? I already called everything I needed to in order for the client machine to attach mic data to the published stream. I'm at a loss here. I want to be sure that the user's voice does not get clipped at the start.
Start recording process
Speak for voice file:userVoc.flv

Okay, after more investigation, I'm still getting clipped audio recordings even when the silence level is traced as 0 instead of -1. Has anybody ever had the problem of clipped audio recordings after attaching mic data to a publishing stream? Any tips as to how I might fix this?

PSSigValGetAPLabelProc callback is never called, why?

I am understanding DigSig example, and am going to convert it to a proper dig signing plugin. So far i have understood the dig sig creation, validation and sig appearance creation satisfactorily, but what i cannot understand is why my PubSec registered plugin's (Acrobat 9 sdk example) two call backs are not called ever.
These are: PSSigValGetAPLabelProc and   PSGetLogoProc. Actually, I need to be able to update layers n1 and n3 depending on the status of the signature validation whenever a PDF is opened. From the documentation I’ve learned that the above callbacks is where I should put my code.
In SigCreateAPNXObj callback there is a comment:
// You must have n1 and n3 generated if you want your PSSigValGetAPLabelProc callback invoked
From this I deduced that I should at least specify n1 or n3. So I added the n1 layer in this method, like so:
xObjArray[0] = DigSigAPXObjectFromLogo(cosDoc, stmUnknownData, 0, &stmUnknownBBox, &bboxRec);
but still PSSigValGetAPLabelProc is not getting called (I m debugging the plugin btw). I have checked that this call back is set at registration time aswell.
Kindly, help me.

Thank you very much for your very prompt replies.
Just to make absolutely sure, i have read this paragraph in one of adobe's documents:
"Note:Prior to Acrobat 6.0, signature appearances were manipulated at run-time in order to display the validity of the signature. The validity was shown as a graphic icon and with an additional, optional text message. The manipulated portions of the signature appearance were contained in layers n1, n3 and n4. Beginning with version 6, Acrobat does not maintain support for signature appearances that can be manipulated, though legacy signatures with these appearances may continue to display correctly. Use of layers n1, n3, and n4 is not recommended."
1 - Does "legacy signatures" in above statement mean, signatures created via plugins created via legacy/older techniques?
2 - if i create my plugin using a legacy method i would be able to manipulate the nX layers during sig verification?
3 - And by "Legacy signatures", you mean Signatures created using DigSig registered plugin or plugin using older acrobat SDK?
One more thing. I inserted below question in my previous response just before your response came, so there is a possibility that it didt reach you.
4 - Is it possible to call .Net library from Acrobat Plugin via c++/CLI layer?
       Or
       Is it possible to use .Net dll from with in Acrobat Plugin, using anyother method, like windows service or something?
Thanks in advance for all the help that you have given so far, and for very prompt replies.

Leopard - why so expensive?

I am trying to get hold of an installation DVD of OSX 10.5 (Leopard). Since this is no longer the default OS for new Macs, I naturally thought that I could pick one up for a modest price. But No! Today's review of Ebay shows that this software is currently being offered at prices far higher that Snow Leopard. Have I got something wrong or can anyone say why a superceeded program is still so expensive? PS I cannot use 10.6 because the machine is not an intel

Also with eBay you don't know what you may be getting, unless you get in personal contact with the seller.
10.5 came in retail, upgrade (dropin), OEM, and system specific disc. A system specific disc should not be sold separately, unless it comes from someone whose computer was stolen or lost. It should be sold only with the Mac it shipped with, as that most of the time is the only Mac that can use it, and includes the lowest version of iLife and operating system that Mac can run. Upgrade discs generally are only good for Macs that shipped three weeks prior to the release date of the OS. Finally,
OEM may be something obtained by a developer at a trade conference, and not for resale. The retail Leopard looks like * and does not have any of the above labels or any Mac model name.
- * links to my pages may give me compensation

Transferring Calls- Why Skype Removed It

After using Skype for 5 years for my business, I finally have to let Skype go. I do not understand the underlying reason for Skype to remove the best feature of Skype for Business. Call transfer was the must have feature for us.<br><br>Why was it removed?<br><br>Please bring it back

This is the email repsonse I got from Skype Support when I asked why this feature was removed - especially as it is critical to business use.
We understand your concerns regarding the removal of the call transfer feature on the latest version of Skype application. We will be happy to explain this for you.
We continue to invest in the Windows Desktop platform to ensure we’re giving users all the capabilities of Skype they have come to love.
In recent versions of Skype for Windows Desktop, we have focused on providing users with features including improved video messaging and file sharing capabilities, and implementing a more intuitive way of sending and adding contact requests. We decided to remove call transfer functionality due to technical challenges in supporting this feature, which enabled us to focus on improving the quality of the user experience and develop the features that our customers enjoy the most.
We will look to readdress the possibility of an improved call forwarding function in future versions of Skype for Windows Desktop."
They obviously are not interested in the business user!
We are moving off Skype to a hosted PBX service.
