WEIRD problems....what do i do?

I'm having a number of weird problems with my blackberry (which I purchased exactly a year ago)
1. The 'a' key has become touch sensitive and thus inserts itself randomly in texts. It usually capitalizes as well so I'm having trouble just typing a lower case 'a'
2. It won't let me look at the smilies to add them to texts
3. The 'alt' function doesn't work in texts so all symbols i have to add by going through the menu
4. I'm unable to scroll through the sound profile options
Are these problems that I can get fixed at a verizon store?

With respect to the A key this sounds like a hardware problem with the metal contact under the button. There is little you can do to fix it without getting the device repaired or replaced. This often happens after the device gets moisture in it. It could be affecting other buttons and you just aren't noticing it and could be affecting the other areas you describe.
You won't be able to get this fixed at the Verizon store unless you get a replacement device.

Hiya, I've got a weird problem with my iPhone4. On the 'home page' of my iPhone the mail symbol tells me there's a new mail waiting for me. However, there's no new mail to be found. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

Apple Banned me, because of a very weird problem with my "Factory Unlocked"

Hi Everybody! Im having a very weird problem with my unlocked iphone 4.
First of all, i would like to apologize because of my english, is not very good. My native language is Spanish.
Well.. Im from Mexico, and here we can buy the iphone Unlocked on the Apple Online Store.
Here's my problem. Apple has exchanged my iphone 3 times.
I returned the iphone the first time because the screen was totally yellowish, other than that everything was working great!, that was by the end of September.
On October 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then a bigger problem started .
Before i continue, let me give you this information: here in Mexico we have basically 3 cell phone companies
1.- Telcel
2.- Movistar
3.- Unefon
OK, now on october 20th, i recieved my second iphone, and then procced to activate via itunes using my UNEFON sim card (microsim).
And every time i tried to activate it, only got this message onscreen:
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s2/jorgelomeli/Screenshot2010-10-29at24915PM. png
I though something was wrong with my brand new factory unlocked iphone 4.
I have 4 more simcards from my brothers (they all had iphone 4 too)
I tried telcel sim card, and i could activate my iphone. Then i insterted the Movistar microsim, and it worked too!! But then when i put the Unefon sim, the itunes logo inmediatly appears on the screen asking to activate on itunes, and when i tried that, the only response i got was the image above saying " The Simcard inserted on this iphone does not appear to be supported"
Weird thing here is, that, when i put my Unefon sim card on my brothers iphone 4, it worked great! on all of them, internet 3g, phone, wireless , evrything!
I called apple support, and they exchange the iphone for another one.
I recieved the third iphone on October 29. Last friday. and guess what? SAME PROBLEM! different serial number, same week production (week 42) but exactly the same message on itunes.
Very, very frustrated, i called apple again, and after 1 hour with thechnical support, they told me " We are sorry, but we can only offer you, your money back, NO MORE EXCHANGES FOR YOU"
I said why?... i dont want my money back! i want an UNLOCKED iphone!, but they refuse to give me another iphone.
When i asked techincal support, why my unefon sim card worked great on all three of my brothers iphone but not on mine, he just told me, "I really dont know, i guess they just got lucky" ****, this answer put all my trust i had on apple products for years, right on the garbage.
Since they refused to give me another iphone, i accepted my money back, and inmediatly after i finished the call, i asked my brother to buy me one more time an iphone 4 using his name, and his credit card. Now i have to wait until November 8-12 to recieve my new iphone, hoping this time i get a REAL UNLOCKED iphone, and not a partially unlocked iphone.
btw. i even went to Unefon costumer service and bought a new prepiad line, with a new microsim, just to be 100% sure that this problem is not because of the sim. And again didnt worked on my iphone, but it worked on any of my brothers iphone4.
Serial numbers of the 3 iphones:
79039C0U* (this one worked great with Unefon, only problem was yellow screen)
85042GR4*
81042FJB*
What do you suggest me? any info would be really aprecciated
FYI i also restore 4 times the last iphone and nothing seemed to work, i use 3 different computers, Macbook Pro, iMac, and an Hp with Windows 7, and the same message on all three computers.
Wierd thing also, one of my brothers bougth an iphone 4 this last week too, but he bought the 16Gb not the 32Gb. His iphone production week is 42 also! and when i put my Unefon sim in his iphone works great!
I dont know what else i can do, I just need to have faith that my new iphone coming this november will be real unlocked, but what if i'll recieve an iphone and then the same problem?? time for android? just kidding really guys, what can i do? anyone with similar problem like me? i dont wanna use Telcel or Movistar, i wanna use Unefon, and thats why i bought an Unlocked iphone
btw: jailbreak is not a solution for me, because i always like to use legal software on all my apple products, and because of the warranty.

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937, there are two official carriers in Mexico (Movistar and Telcel) and neither carrier offers an unlocked phone.

Weird problem with JApplet

I'm having a weird problem with JApplet. So first I create an Applet with this code
public class japp extends JApplet {
     public void init() {
          Container content=getContentPane();
          JButton jb=new JButton("Hello");
          content.add(jb);
}and with this in the .html file;
<html>
<body>
<APPLET CODE="japp.class" WIDTH="650" HEIGHT="500"></APPLET>
</body>
</html>
And opened it in Firefox, it worked as expected. However, when I change the code in any way, i.e.
public class japp extends JApplet {
     public void init() {
          Container content=getContentPane();
          JButton jb=new JButton("Goodbye");
          content.add(jb);
}and compile it, it still shows the old button that displays "Hello". I've tried deleting the .class file from before and recompiling, that doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Reloading the page usually doesn't work. You will need to open the Java Console and clear classloader cache (x). You can also use appletviewer for testing purposes.

Problem of PI am having a weird problem in prinrinting List in Address Book

I am having a weird problem in printing a list of addresses in Address Book. The odd number pages (1,3,5,etc.) print fine but the even number pages move the phone numbers from the third column and prints them over the second column's address and Note fields. Anybody know what is going on here? I have tried the Roll Call Directory software suggested by one respondent on another printing problem and while it is very nice, it seems to have its own quirks (Splits the information when it reaches the bottom left column of a two column set-up or prints at the top left column of the next page when it reaches the end of the right column instead of keeping the address intact in one spot).

P.S. To as to this problem. I tried printing some more pages of the address list and now while some of the odd numbered pages seem OK as you go along it switches to some of the even numbered pages being OK with the odd numbered pages having the third column shifting to overprint on part of the 2nd column. In addition, I can't print envelopes since the program simply does nothing or crashes when the print button is selected.

Weird problems with XFCE

So I got a weird problem with XFCE (I think) sometimes everything just stops working, my PPTP vpn, can't start new applications, no shortcut commands on my keyboard works etc. For example when this happened and I tried to open a text document with gedit i got "Process /usr/bin/Thunar exited with status 1" and when I'm connected to my vpn I can't access the internet, not browsing and I can't ping other websites. And in my terminal instead of "icamaxi@localhost" it becomes "[email protected]"
This problem happens randomly and it works if you restart the computer.
my xinitrc looks like:
#!/bin/sh
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
exec startxfce4
I also get this error message sometimes if that helps you
"(process:1055): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
No protocol specified"
Xorg log
Another thing that is not related to this problem but that is annoying is that i can't lock my screen, when I try nothing happens, I've tried the shortcut command and also with the actions button applet but none of this work.

I'm not certain about your first issue, but does it ever occur when you aren't connected ot your VPN?
For the screen locking problem, what are you using to lock your screen? I use xflock4, and have a keyboard command set up in the keyboard commands to lock my screen.

Weird problems with battery

Hi guys,
I having some weird problems with my new battery. I changed the old battery (that died) for a brand new one. The first problem was: the mac didn't recognized the new battery in a macbook pro 13 early 2011. So, I putted the battery in a another macbook pro 13 mid 2010 and worked. So, I passed the battery again to macbook early 2011 and worked fine. I thought this very weird, but it is ok. The big problem came after: about two or three days of regular use, the mac just didn't turn on (I'm sure the battery charge was full). Even the battery charge button didn't work, like as the battery didn't stay there. However, if I shake the mac, something happen and the battery start to work normally. few minutes after (around 15 minutes), the mac shut down immediately, like as someone disconnect the battery from MB. If I shake the mac, the same thing happen again, few minutes after the mac turn off. The other strange fact is: if I open the mac, disconnect and reconnect the cable of battery (that connect with MB), the mac start work properly and 2 or 3 days after the problem go back.
Anyone has a clue?
I'm not confident about a bad contact problem of the cable with the MB, because the problem is repeated with some regularity of days (ever 2 or 3 days after connect the cable to MB).
I guess could be a problem in the logic board of the battery... What do you think could be? If the problem is because the logic board, is there a solution?
Thanks

Call Apple and get them to take a look at it, you've done all the 'customer troubleshooting' you can ...

Weird problem: apple-F doesn't work in Finder anymore!

I've just noticed 2 really weird problems. When in Finder, hitting apple-F (to "Find") doesn't work - I see the File menu blink for a second but the window to search for files never comes up. Also (and perhaps related?), since the latest set of Apple upgrades, when I run iTunes, it doesn't see my library. The newest version runs, but never brings up its main window. The older version does bring out its window but my music doesn't appear there. What the heck is going on?!? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks,
Mike

Well, first, the likely fix for your Command-F problem (and other problems you've probably been lucky enough not to stumble upon just yet) is to fix permissions. But you'll probably find you can't do that in the first place until you do the main fix discussed in that large thread.
Join the crew.

Really weird problem with Usage Tracking!

Hi guys
We are running OBIEE 11.1.1.6.5 on Exalytics and allmost all is fine and dandy. We have though one weird problem. When we first enabled usage tracking, we sudddenly got some errors on some of our dashboards, saying that we didn't have the privilegies to create temporary tables. Allright we got our user (which is a shared user) the privilegies to create temporary tables, and the reports with the problems started working again! Awesome! But low and behold - then Usage Tracking stopped working, not a single mentioning in the logfiles about it. Maybe an error or, the acknowledgement that Usage Tracking has started, which is the normal.
So basically we are running without Usage Tracking because the reports that gives us the problems are deemed more important... which they might be, but thats different story...
Any ideas to what is going on here? We have collected Usage Tracking data, while the reports were broke, so im quite confident that the setup is correct. But why would it stop, when giving "create table" privilege to our shared user?
Best regards, Jacob

What is the setting for UsageTrackingDirectInsert?
Have you tried chaging the output to file instead of database?
Please see:

[SOLVED] USB mount weird problem.

So, I have this weird problem - udev automounting does not allow normal user to write to usb device.
/etc/fstab:
/dev/sdc1 /media/usbhd-sdc1 vfat users,exec,dev,suid 0 1
/etc/rules.d/10-my-udev.rules:
KERNEL!="sd[a-z][0-9]", GOTO="mnt_auto_mount_end"
ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mkdir /media/usbhd-%k", RUN+="/bin/mount /dev/%k"
ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/usbhd-%k", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/usbhd-%k"
LABEL="mnt_auto_mount_end"
When I manually do:
$ mount /dev/sdxy
it works nicely, but when i do it with 'sudo' it's the same as udev. So I guess that's something with udev. Can any1 help me?

What filesystem is on your flash drive? If it's FAT, there's no concept of ownership, so linux will just make the user running mount own everything, hence permissions problems when root mounts it. I believe RUN+="/bin/mount -o uid=<your uid>,gid=<your gid> /dev/%k" or RUN+="/bin/mount -o umask=000 /dev/%k" will make it writeable by you and the world, respectively. If the second solution is too insecure but you need multiple users to be able to access mounted flash drives, check out HAL.

Weird Problem trying to sign into my App Store Account ? Please Help !!

Im having a very weird problem trying to sign into my App store account to update my apps and to purchase new Apps. Ive tried to search the net but I cant seem to solve my problem.
Here is whats happening
My Email address is correct in my iTunes Account and also my App Store account. (which is basically the same anyway)
The problem I am having Is that when I try to download an App my old email address still shows up when it requests my password.
The weird part is that my email address is correct in my itunes and also at the bottom of my app store. Yet my old email is showing up when I try to sign into the App store.
Here are the steps Ive taken already to fix this problem and have failed.
I have signed out of my itunes and app store and signed back in..FAILED.
I went into my setting -STORE and signed out and back in..FAILED.
I dont understand why my old email is still showing up when I try to sign in to update or download an App !!!!
PLEASE HELP !!!

I dont understand why my old email is still showing up when I try to sign in to update or download an App !!!!
Apps are DRM protected & tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. Were these apps purchased using your old account details?

Really weird problem -- won't download mail from one sender

I'm having a really weird problem. Apple Mail won't retrieve mail from my Gmail account via POP3 from one sender only. All other mail is downloaded normally, except from a particular sender. What could be causing this? Thanks.

I am trying to remember and research something about the Junk filter and Gmail accounts. Have you checked in your Junk mailbox, if Junk in enabled and there is a separate Junk mailbox?
If you click on my name to the left, and look in the bio line of the resulting Profile, you will find an email address you can reach me with. If you email me at that address, I will send you a Gmail address that your sender can test sending a message to me at my Gmail account.

Comparing Strings...weird problem

hello. I have kind of a weird problem going on here. I am attemping to write a java app that will read input from a file character by character and append each character to a String object, halt when it comes to either a whitespace (' '), a newline ('\n'), a tab ('\t'), or the end of the file (-1). Im basically just having the file read in one string at a time. Anywho, when ever i go to compare the string i read in from the file with another string in an if statement, it always comes up false, even when the values are exactly the same. Any ideas of what i might be doing wrong? Here's the code for u java gurus ;).
import java.io.*;
class UpdateHalls
private static String myString;
private static FileReader inFile;
public static void main(String[] args)
try
inFile = new FileReader("test.txt");
myString = new String();
getString();
System.out.println(myString);
if (myString == "this")
System.out.println("it worked");
else
System.out.println("nope");
inFile.close();
catch(IOException ex)
     System.out.println(ex);
private static void getString()
char myChar;
String tempString = new String();
try
myChar = (char)inFile.read();
     while ((myChar != ' ') && (myChar != '\n') && (myChar != '\t') && ((int)myChar != -1))
     tempString = tempString + myChar;
     myChar = (char)inFile.read();
catch(IOException ex)
System.out.println(ex);
myString = tempString;
BTW, the very first word in the file is "this".
Thanks a lot!

Another method that you can use is String.compareTo(String)This method returns an int which is 0 only if the two strings are equal... for example
String st1 = "this is a string";
String st2 = "this is another string";
//this won't return 0 because they aren't equal
if(st1.compareTo(st2) == 0) System.out.println("They are equal")
//this will return 0 because they are equal
if(st1.compareTo("this is a string" == 0) System.out.println("They are equal");This isn't neater than .equals() , but it's another way when dealing with strings

Weird problem i have with JTextField

I have a weird problem with this code...
if
JTextField.setText("value")
then why is
JTextField.getText() == "value"
false?
Can somebody please tell me why this happens....
The applet below illustrates the problem
public class help extends javax.swing.JApplet {
private javax.swing.JTextField Sample;
public help() {
initComponents();
DemonstrateProblem();
public void DemonstrateProblem()
System.out.println(Sample.getText());
if(Sample.getText() == "value")
System.out.println("This is what you think will happen");
else
System.out.println("But instead you end up here");
System.out.println("Why????");
private void initComponents()
               Sample = new javax.swing.JTextField();
               Sample.setText("value");

Thanks for the help...
I didn't realize that by using "==" i was comparing the objects and not the strings they contained.. (did i get that right??)
anyways i used your suggestion and now it works....
I am posted my new code for thoose who may want to learn from my mistake
public class help extends javax.swing.JApplet {
private javax.swing.JTextField Sample;
     private java.lang.String StrSample;
public help() {
initComponents();
DemonstrateProblem();
public void DemonstrateProblem()
          System.out.println("This is what Sample =");
System.out.println(Sample.getText());
          System.out.println("This is what StrSample =");
          System.out.println(StrSample);
if(StrSample.equals("value"))
System.out.println("This is what you think will happen");
else
System.out.println("But instead you end up here");
System.out.println("Why????");
private void initComponents()
               Sample = new javax.swing.JTextField();
               Sample.setText("value");
               StrSample = Sample.getText();
