What kind of 3G speeds should we be getting on the iPhone 4?

I used the speedtest.net app and with the signal jumping between 2-3 bars on 3G I did a few tests and got anywhere from .3 Mbps down .03 Mbps up to 1.25 down .06 up. Does that seem about right for the 2-3 bar signal I had?

Just read this,
Looks like AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent have finally sorted out the software glitch that's resulted in slow HSPA upload speeds in certain markets -- we were just told on the record that a patch is being rolled out and the update will be completed over the next two to three weeks. That should mean iPhone 4 and laptop data modem customers should start to see their upload speeds creep back to higher levels after being capped at UMTS rates for the past few weeks, so that's good news

  • What kind of hard drive should i buy to replace the one i'm using

    I am currently using an iMac with the following:
    Processor  3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    I would like to replace the hard drive which is failing but don't know which kind to buy. Can I buy a bare drive or do i need a kit?
    What brand is compatible with Mac? What type? Thanks for any help!

  • What kind of CD-R should I use?

    I've recently had problems burning CD's from iTunes . . .the CD's seem to burn correctly, but when I insert them into one of several DVD players, they skip, pop and do other weird things. (Burning DVDs from iDVD runs smoothly.) I have the original drive that came with my G5 as follows: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-117D.
    Reading through the forums, it seems that the type of media used is a common cause of problems like this. I don't know what kind of CD's I was using before, but the spindle I have now contains Memorex CD's with a 52X max speed, and hold 700 MB.
    I think my drive has a maximum speed of 16X, so I tested burning at 16X and then 4X . . .I got the same results.
    If I'm reading the threads correctly, my drive would work best with 650 MB disks with a max burn speed of 16X. As far as I can tell from Goggling however, that kind of disk is no longer exists.
    So what specs should I look for that will be most compatible with my drive?
    Thanks!
    Bryce

    Thanks! It looks like these drives are only $26 . . .I'll bet I've spent at least half that much in wasted CD's over the past few days.
    Perhaps this next question should go over to the Final Cut Pro discussions, but I'll start here . . .as long as I'm considering replacing the drive, I'm wondering if I should upgrade to something better/faster.
    I remember there being an issue some years ago that software like iDVD and DVD Studio Pro would only write to certain Apple sanctioned DVD burners.
    For me, it's less about the money and more about have equipment that works properly . . .and faster (time is money).
    Any advice about upgrading?

  • What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

    What kind of graphics card should i get to run final cut pro x on my 2008 mac pro?

    Hello Andres. I own an Early Mac Pro 2008, and have had the blessing of using both FCP X & Motion 5 for some time now. This is a pritty open question and it depends on your usage and the throughput nessesary to handle your work load. I can share what my set up is, & it may help you deside if this is enough power for you or help you move in another direction. Keep in mind that the buss speed and cpu are a big part of helping FCP X more so than the video card, although the video card does come into play here as well. Now if you are wanting to run Motion 5 as well, the video card is Almost Everything, and you need the biggest and best situation here that the throughput on this system will except. I'm running 14 gig of system ram, and the video card is an ATI Radeon 5870. For FCP X, running 1920x1280p footage optimised in pro-res 422, she can move along with some render time nessesary when dropping on the timeline, also filters, transistions, titles ex, have a bit of a laps time to render, but then she runs ok. This wait is not as much of a challenge with this set up as with Motion. I need a much bigger gpu on the video card for this app. Not sure if this computers throughput is really worth the upgrade. Beleive this though, Motion is demanding on using ALL you can give it. It is a Genious App, and it also calls for ALL THE POWER YOU CAN GIVE HER IN A VIDEO CARD. Conclution: if you are just starting which it sounds like, even a smaller video card than this can work For FCP X. Make sure you have at least 8 gig of cpu ram. 12 or more will help here. Also make sure the card is OpenCL compadible.....& this is in the thread above,,,,,,,,

    what kind of external drive should I get for my macbook pro for backups and storage

    Hi, i have a Mercury Elite-AL Pro from OWC, www.otherworldcomputung.com
    this is the one;
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MEAQ7S1TB32M/
    have had this for over two years, moved around a lot with the drive, ( to date ) no problems, they have good after sales support; give them a call if you need info.
    There are a lot of drives out there as others here will let you know, there are good NAME drives but they also fail, POPULAR drives also fail, select the one you are happy with for your system and how you plan to use.
    i suggest if $ is not a problem get a big drive you will find someting to put on it and is better.
    hope this helps.

  • I need in Formula Node to assign to the variable value 4000000000!!! What kind of variable it should be???

    i've just tryed to write unsigned in32, but it does not understand 'unsogned'... But i need variable to be unsigned, because the max value = 4000000000... So, how can i solve this probleme???

    Hi,
    I don't see exactly what you're trying to do here.
    Where do you want to assign the variable 4000000000 to? If you want it as an
    input, just use a dbl, with only zeros behind the coma.
    Note that an integer is a number without any decimals. An integer in LabVIEW
    is this, but with an extra limitation that it can only be 32 bits... So a
    dbl can be an integer.
    If the input dbl is not an integer, use round, round to -inf or round to
    +inf to make it one. This can also be done if the output needs to be an
    integer.Inside the formula node floor(x), int(x), intrz(x) or ceil(x) can be
    used to make integers.
    I hope this is what you mean... I can't see any problems doing this.
    Regards,
    Wiebe.

  • What kind of blank discs should I use on my macbook?

    What kind of blank discs should I use on my macbook?

    cd-r - for burning audio and MP3 cd's for playback on stereos via iTunes and storing under 700MB in files.
    dvd-r - for burning data dvd's and movies to 4.5GB
    dvd-r ds - dual sided for 9GB
    dvd-r dl - for dual layer on one side about 9GB total, good for making copies of OS X install disks
    dvd-r dl ds  - dual layer double sided for about 18GB total
    then there is blueray dvd's but that requires a external burner and special disks for even larger amounts of data.
    If you see "+" instead of "-" like cd+r, it's a differnet format on the disk, but most all new modern machines can read/burn either now.
    Older machines might only be "-" or "+" with "-" being the most commonly used.

  • What kind of version checking should be done for applications using SQLDBC

    Hi,
    This query is regarding the kind of version checking that an application should do.
    Currently I am building my application in MaxDB version of 7.6.05.09, which is the community edition available on the sdn download site currently, this will change to the enterprise edition once we have finalized everything in terms of code and packging etc....
    Now when the application is shipped to customer site, what kind of version checking should the application do to ensure that the version of library/kernel/client/sdk it has been built with is consistent with the one that is installed at the customer site.
    From what i see SQLDBC exposes the following method for getting version related information.
    char * SQLDBC_Environment_getLibraryVersion(SQLDBC_Environment* hdl);
    char *getSDKVersion();
    SQLDBC_Int4 SQLDBC_Statement_getKernelVersion(SQLDBC_Statement* hdl); (Note: Wondering why should a handle to SQLDBC_Statement be needed to find the Kernel version)
    Just to give you little more hint of what i am talking about, for MySQL database we use the functions
    mysql_get_client_version and mysql_get_server_version and check that the values returned by these functions are less than the value which was used at build time.
    Regards
    Raja

    Hello Raja
    From the documentation:
    const char* SQLDBC::SQLDBC_Environment::getLibraryVersion ()   
    Returns the version of used SQLDBC runtime.
    This is the version of the used SQLDBC library. The version of the loaded
    runtime may differ from the version inidacted in the used header. It is our
    aim that newer versions of the runtime will run with old applications without
    the need to be re-compiling.
    Therefore, for compatibility checks, use getLibraryVersion.
    getKernelVersion is also available from the connection:
    SQLDBC_Connection::getKernelVersion()

  • What kind of database driver should use for database adapter  in BPEL?

    what kind of database driver (XA or non-XA) should use for database adapter in BPEL? I have only one database adapter and no JMS.
    Thanks
    Jo
    Edited by: 799095 on Sep 30, 2010 8:35 AM

    Hi
    It depends on wheter you need XA transaction or not.
    See http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=21385 third reply.
    If you only have one database and no synchronous dependency to the caller, non-XA should be OK.

  • EMERGENCY: what kind of jdbc driver should I use?

    Suppose one machine with 9iAS standarv version installed, and another one with oracle8.1.6 installed. OSE is used for JSP and servlet engine. In this case, Oracle internal JDBC driver does not apply, am I right? Then what kind of JDBC should I used to access the database on the other machine?
    thanks

    Your have 4 driver options :
    1) 2 from a client install
    a) jdbc thin
    b) jdbc oci with a client install
    2) 2 from inside the JVM including the ose component.
    a) server sdie internal(kprb) -- for inside the rdbms usage ONLY
    b) server side thin driver.

  • What kind of net connection should I have for a DataGuard system?

    I want to construct a DataGuard system on 3 PCs( all with the RHEL5.0 OS and just for test purpose). But I don't know what kind of connection should I make between the 3 PCs? Shoud I use a router?
    Thank you for any answer.

    You don't really need a router for this testing.
    a simple back to back connection would work.
    or a hub even.
    routers tend to get more expensive.

  • What kind of virus protection should I get for my iMac?

    I tried downloading AVG, which I use for my PC laptop, but it didn't work.

    1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
    If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is presumably effective against known attacks, but maybe not against unknown attacks. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. XProtect, Gatekeeper, and MRT reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
    That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
    Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
    Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
    Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
    Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
    7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software  ClamXav— nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
    Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
    In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    8. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
    A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
    ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
