What kind of speeds (real world?) should I be expecting on  new iPhone 3g?

I just got a 3g iPhone. I am in San Francisco. I am getting 5 bars. I'm using testmyiphone.com as a speed test and I'm getting between 117kbps and 230kbps when I'm lucky.
I was told by AT&T that I should be getting something closer to 600-1400kbps.
I don't know whether to make an issue of this. And yes, I tested at peak times, at 2 am, at 6 am, weekends, weekdays, etc...

I'm getting the exact same results. Initially I thought the servers at testmyiphone.com were just overloaded, but my T-Mobile Curve managed to knock out 1.19M from the very same website just a few minutes later.
Doesn't matter where I am or the time I try...My 3G's speed STINKS!

  • What kind of bluetooth dongle(usb) should I get to use my Magic Mouse properly?

    My Mac Pro doesn't have bluetooth. What kind of bluetooth dongle(usb) should I get to use my Magic Mouse properly? I already have one, but it makes the mouse seriously lacking.

    I keep the dongle plugged into the back of my apple 27" monitor so that means it is only 1 to 2 feet away from the mouse.  Don't plug it into the mac pro itself if that is at any distance from the mouse.  The closer you can keep the dongle to the mouse the better.
    Do a smc and pram reset.
    If all is lost, and you have xcode installed then you can do a bluetooth factory reset.
    Note that if you should sleep your machine, power is off the usb's, so the dongle is off.  This means you cannot wake the machine with any BT devices like the mouse (I use a wired keyboard).  Also sometimes upon waking the machine the mouse does not immediately re-pair (maybe 20% of the time).  So you have to flip its switch to get the system's attention.
    While I do have internal BT, using the dongle disables the internal (at least for 2010 mac pro's).
    And of course BT would go inactive if you pulled the dongle out!

  • What kind of material type i should use?

    Dear all,
    I am wondering what kind of material type I should use for the following type of material:
    The material is Chicken used in like KFC- type of eatery franchise store.
    The eatery franchise store buy the chicken from external party, next, this store process this chicken (i.e. cut into pieces) and become chicken salad and sell this chicken salad to their consumer.
    Personally, I donu2019t think this kind of material can be classified as HAWA (i.e. trading mat type) as the material is not buying and later selling as a same physical product like the retail store.
    But it is buy and process it, and sell.
    Please help shed some light for me. Thanks.
    tuff

    Hi we have not using SAP, it is a new project.
    kindly please read my question carefully...
    basically it is like this...
    the chicken the restaurant chain purchased are later process into multiple meal dishes (i.e. Salad Chicken, Chicken with rice, Roast Chicken), and sell to customer directly.
    Therefore, looking at your feedback, I can use the SEMI-FG material type for the Chicken for the buying, correct?
    But this raise another question in which how do I track the goods issue quantity when the meal dishes is sold, so that my Chicken stock quantity can reflect correctly in the SAP system?
    currently they are not using BOM as the franchise holder does not wish to disclose the meal ingredient scret (i.e BOM) to their invidual franchise store.
    please advise. thanks
    Thanks.

  • What kind of mac pro specs should I have for video editing?

    I am running the media department for Skagit Valley College and am in charge of editing for our online content. I am currently using an imac with FCP6 but am spending way too much time rendering. I am wondering about what kind of specs I should consider for building a mac pro to cut down on some of that time as well as setting up an audio recording studio. Microphones, cables, software, and hardware specs are all issues that puzzle me at the moment as far as what is going to be the best fit for my productions...
    please help
    -anthony

    Virtually any Mac Pro 6-core or up will work well, but obviously the more cores the better. Save the budget by adding your own RAM (I like 2GB per core) and hard drives (3TB Hitachi 7200 RPM drives are a good value) from reputable vendors. Avoid "green" drives that use lower spindle speed to save energy.
    Get the fastest available video board (currently the 5870) and consider consider dial third party displays (I'm using a pair of 27" Samsungs, half the price of a single Apple 27) and look into a Matrox MXO2 mini to handle your grading monitor.
    Get a copy of Final Cut Studio (2009) ASAP while it's still available and talk to your Apple rep about additional licenses if needed. If you know FCP6 and like it, you need to "bunker" the app and ignore FCP X until it fleshes out.
    If you need more help, let me know...  I've been on FCP since version 3 and I'm a native Washingtonian. Just don't call me Homie! 
    Good luck!

  • What kind of menu bar navigation should i do for my website

    My website to start off is a giant tree that i created in Illustrator and i want to put the navigation dispersed throughout the tree an idea i had was a tag like the kind they used to tie to your luggage with twine made out of paper I don't really want the words to just be sitting in the tree either it looks too boring. I tried doing larger leafs but i don't like that idea either it just looks out of place. what kind of Menu bar should i do for the website?

    design decisions, like beauty, is your call.  but, if you like the idea of leaves and a navigation system that's not particularly easy to use, create some leaves in your tree that stand-out some way.  they need not be large and certainly not large enough to display their text.  but on mouseover they could enlarge and display their text.

  • What kind of  "addActionLister" for JTabbedPane should I use??

    Hi, friends:
    I have a Jpanel called panel, contains several JTabbedPanes,
    such as tpane_1, tpane_2, tpane_3, tpane_4, tpane_5 etc,
    When I click tpane_1, I should add what kind of "addActionLister" to
    Trap this event "click tpane_1"??
    And When I click tpane_2, I should add what kind of "addActionLister" to
    Trap this event "click tpane_2" also?? And so on??
    Please help.
    Thanks
    sunny

    As you know, JTabbedPane has a method called
    void addChangeListener(ChangeListener l)
    which you can use to register an object with tabbed pane that will be informed whenever a tab is selected.
    JTabbedPane.addChangeListener needs an object that implements the javax.swing.event.ChangeListener interface.
    Further, as you know, ChangeListener has a single method called stateChanged:
    void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e)
    Use this method to react appropriately whenever the selected tab is changed.
    You can also use method int getSelectedIndex() to get selected index and from that you can see selected tab.

  • What kind of rechargable batteries (AAA) should i u

    Hi ! I would like to know what kind of rechargable batteries i could use on my Nomad Muvo. The player works with AAA batteries and i've seen many tipes of rechargable batteries for sale (Ni-Cad,Ni-Mh and others).
    Thanks for the attention.

    Any kind will work. The higher the capacity you get, the longer the player will last. High capacity NiMH are usually a good bet.

  • What kind of speed increase could I expect if exch...

    Hi,
    I was wondering if someone could help me with this.
    We are on a very long ADSLMax line, however we get very good speeds because I removed the bellwire.
    My question is I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me what speed I would expect if the exchange was upgraded to 21CN/ADSL2+ etc.
    My exchange is this one: http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/EAELV
    Here is a speedtest I have done:
    1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
    Download Speed
    2.24 Mbps
    0 Mbps 7.15 Mbps
    Max Achievable Speed
    Download speed achieved during the test was - 2.24 Mbps
    For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.6 Mbps-7.15 Mbps.
    Additional Information:
    Your DSL Connection Rate :6.18 Mbps(DOWN-STREAM), 0.45 Mbps(UP-STREAM)
    IP Profile for your line is - 5 Mbps
    And here are my stats from my NETGEAR router:
    ADSL Link       Downstream           Upstream
    Connection Speed 6176 kbps 448 kbps
    Line Attenuation 38.0 db 22.0 db
    Noise Margin 6.1 db 24.0 db
    Also wondering if I am getting the fastest speed possible on the line according to these stats. 
    Hope someone can help,
    Many Thanks,
    Dominic. 

    as I said if you check the link I posted and enter your 38 attenuation then you will see it gives an average of about 7mb - but that is an average as some might be higher and some lower depending on line quality and connection

  • What kind of Mac Book Pro should I get as a filmmaker?

    I'm not sure how I should customize a Mac Book Pro so that it would be perfect for editing HD videoclips from an HD camera (like a Canon XH-A1). I want it to last me a long time for the money I'm paying. My budget is no more than $2500 for the computer and all software included.
    I was looking at these specs? Can sdmeone please ell me what I don't need for the MacBook Pro or what I should add to these specs in order for the computer to still be amazing for a filmmaker's needs? Thanks!

    This is also my first time dealing with Macs so keep that in mind. Thanks!

    Editing HD-Video is one of the most intensive applications you can run.
    Generally maxing out CPU und RAM should be a priority (Especially RAM since its not that expensive).
    The SSD-Drive might be a good idea (speedwise) to, but it´s very expensive
    Keep in mind that any MBP config should be able to handle the HD-Video. They just take longer on slower models.
    If you are a professional and work wih video all day long you might want to consider an Mac Pro instead of a MacBook Pro.

  • What kind of external hard drive should I buy?

    I have a MacBook pro and an older iMac desktop at home, and several different PC's at school and work (dells for the most part).
    The files I need to move around are very diverse, from .psd and .ai to google sketchup to CAD to mp3s and PDFs.
    I need to be able to seamlessly move LOTS of files back and forth (and I would also like to use an external hard drive to backup my personal photos, portfolio of work, and itunes library). I am sick of moving files with my small 20g flash drive, and I want everything in one place on one external hard drive. The last WD passport I bought will not connect to PC, and I hate the built-in backup software.
    Any suggestions? What hard drives have worked best for you PC to Mac users?

    Well first off you really need a couple of external hard drives to backup your boot drive.
    If you detest the corny and hobbled TimeMachine as much as I do, then you will likely prefer bootable clones instead.
    So the clones will be GUID OS X Ext J formatted so OS X can boot from them, but the PC's can't read that format easily.
    Also one shouldn't be taking risks moving their clones around and hooking them up to various malware infected PC's anyway.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Ok, next your going to need one or two external drives for transporting files between computers of different platforms (one backup), however you need to format this drive into something that the Mac and PC can read equally and with no trouble.
    The formula is rather simple, take the portable drive(s) to the oldest version of Windows your using and right click and format the drive there for exFAT (not FAT, not NTFS)
    Now if you have a XP machine and exFAT is not a option, then it can be downloaded for free from Microsoft's web site.
    It's important to format the drive on the oldest Windows PC because XP can't read/format GUID partition maps and Vista and Win 7/8 can. XP uses a MBR partition map instead.
    The Mac can read/write to all Windows partition map schemes and drive formats, except writing to NTFS.

  • What kind of filter or mask should I used?

    I'm using Fireworks CS4 and have an image of thick muds splattered against our car. I'm creating a family video and am looking to creater a logo for the video where it looks like the video name is written in text in the mud. I've tried applying an inner bevel filter, but it looks poor.
    What type of filter or mask can I apply to give the text depth and shadows?
    Heck, I'd be willing to pay for some help at this point.
    Please let me know if you have any ideas as I'm well beyond my skillo level on this one.
    Thanks all.

    Well...I don't really have a lot of time, right now. But I think you can do something nifty looking without a whole lot of effort.
    Here are a few things you could try...
    Put some text over your image. Use a wide font, like Impact. Move the text to the part of the image you'd like to have inside the text (or move the image). Select the image and copy it (Ctrl-C is fine). Select the text and go to menu Edit > Paste Inside (Ctrl-Shift-V). You can use this muddy text object over any image for a video title.
    The next step is to choose a font that's more interesting than Impact. The first one I linked you to has the advantage of looking like splatters, but the disadvantage of being difficult to read. Look around dafont in the graffiti or distressed themes and see if anything catches your eye. Check the licensing if you're doing anything commercial.
    Taking this method one step further, it would be nice to take advantage of some of Fireworks' fancy strokes. For this, you'll need to convert the text to paths. Select the text, menu Text > Convert to Paths. Duplicate this object. Paste your image inside the upper object. On the lower object, apply a stroke. (See example below, Layer 2.)
    Hmm...example time. In the bottom example (Layer 3) the stroke is a Textured Air Brush with a Vein texture (unfortunate that the stroke name is also an effect). This is a Fireworks .png, it's just resized by the forum software:
    Good luck!
