What's the difference with iMessage and SMS when not on wifi?

What's the difference when I use iMessage vs SMS? I know iMessage is only to Apple products. So when my messages uses iMessage when I'm not connected to wifi, would it go onto my data or texting? Thanks

what if people dont know how to do that.

Send a message to an Apple user.  If it goes, it would be sent via iMessage.  If it doesn't go, your carrier does not support iMessage.
Another way is to send a message to an Apple user with just Settings > WiFi = "Off".
If it's blue or the message says "iMesage" at the top, it went via iMessage.
If it's green, it went via SMS text message.
Good luck!

  • I understand the difference between imessage and SMS but when I text a friend who always got iMessages in the past, everything I send her is SMS (green) even if we both have wifi. She has an iphone.

    I understand the difference between imessage and SMS but when I text a friend who used to receive imessages (blue), my phone shows I'm sending her SMS (green) messages. No longer are they blue. She has an iphone and this happens when we are both connected to wifi. We have both recently updated to ios7. Thanks!

  • What is the difference between OCIEnvCreate and OCIEnvNlsCreate with utf16

    because i find a oci sample code cdemouni.c,in this sample,use OCIEnvCreate with mode set OCI_UTF16,but OCIEnvNlsCreate also can set charset and ncharset OCI_UTF16ID,what is the difference between OCIEnvCreate and OCIEnvNlsCreate with UTF16?

    First, OCIEnvNlsCreate() is recommended way of switching to UTF-16 mode.
    Second, OCIEnvNlsCreate() uses new semantics for bind and define buffer lengths. With new semantics all lengths are in bytes. With old semantics,
    UTF-16 string lengths are in codepoints, while other character sets use bytes.
    You can get new length semantics with OCIEnvCreate() as well, by
    adding OCI_NEW_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to the 'mode' flags.

  • What is the Difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2? having problems with my stream

    What is the difference with FMLE 3.1 and 3.2?
    I am having major problems with my live stream, i am currently using FMLE 3.1 and using a Imac computer.
    The stream seems to be delayed by 20mins and keeps on crashing
    I have a 2MB upload speed and frame rate 25.00 and bit rate 800 kbps fromat VP6
    Can anyone help me with getting the settings right and what is the best computer to use to allow FMLE not to crash and stream to run smooth?
    Please Help
    Thank you

    Hello!
    I would be interested in helping you with your question. You are going to need to provide a little more information about your current configuration in order for me to better understand your issue. Until then, I'll do my best to answer your quesitons.
    There are subtle changes from 3.1 to 3.2. Both are stable releases. With your setup, you should be using 3.2.
    Issues with FMLE typically deal with your capture card. The issues you are having sound like a streaming server issue. Stream delayed 20min? This isn't typical behavior. What streaming media server are you usign? FMS or Wowza? Define 'crashing'. Anything in the output log in FMLE or is your server 'crashing'.

  • What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?

    Hi!
    What is the difference between #variable_name and :variable_name?
    I have found that if we use alphanumeric variable then :variable_name return value in quotes but #variable_name without quotes.
    Why it does not work in the same way for variable default values when variable is used in filter? (It works in mapping)
    I use variable in filter like T.OUT_DATE>convert(datetime,:LAST_UPDATE_DATE,121)
    When I use my variable in package and do refresh it works fine. But when I try to execute the same interface with variable default value I get error. Seems that variable name has been not changed to the value. It does not work with default value in quotes neither without quotes.
    Any ideas how to solve that?
    Thank you in advance!
    Edited by: user13278245 on Sep 15, 2010 4:34 AM

    Question is how to make it work with default value, when I execute interface standalone, not in package? And why it works in mapping but not in filter?
    + I have found that it works if source is Oracle. It doesn't work only for MS SQL source.

  • What is the difference between variable and Define

    WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
    these different declarations when it is done using the keyword "variable" and "define"
    and both of these are done OUTSIDE "DECLARE"
    VARIABLE g_monthly_sal NUMBER
    DEFINE p_annual_sal =5000
    -- I understand that p_annual_sal will be taken as a CHAR.
    -- ALSO IF DEFINE variable acts as macro variable, SO is it necessary to give it some value whenever we define it.
    if not what value would be substituted for it?
    OR does that mean whenever we want to specify data type for a bind varible we should use VARIABLE and
    when we do not want to specify type we use DEFINE?
    THANK YOU

    Edited by: user6287828 on Feb 24, 2009 11:04 AM

    Both are SQL*plus commands. In a real programming environment you will not use such constructs (except a few rare scripting cases).
    The difference is how the construct is later used. DEFINE is more like a copy&paste string. Whereever the name of this substitution variable is found it will be pasted into the sql*plus session.
    VARIABLE creates a real variable. You can change the value and if follwos the usual principles of variables (including binding).
    Example can be found the docs:
    from the docs
    Where and How to Use Substitution Variables
    You can use substitution variables anywhere in SQL and SQL*Plus commands, except as the first word entered. When SQL*Plus encounters an undefined substitution variable in a command, SQL*Plus prompts you for the value.
    You can enter any string at the prompt, even one containing blanks and punctuation. If the SQL command containing the reference should have quote marks around the variable and you do not include them there, the user must include the quotes when prompted.
    SQL*Plus reads your response from the keyboard, even if you have redirected terminal input or output to a file. If a terminal is not available (if, for example, you run the script in batch mode), SQL*Plus uses the redirected file.
    After you enter a value at the prompt, SQL*Plus lists the line containing the substitution variable twice: once before substituting the value you enter and once after substitution. You can suppress this listing by setting the SET command variable VERIFY to OFF.
    Using Bind Variables
    Bind variables are variables you create in SQL*Plus and then reference in PL/SQL or SQL. If you create a bind variable in SQL*Plus, you can use the variable as you would a declared variable in your PL/SQL subprogram and then access the variable from SQL*Plus. You can use bind variables for such things as storing return codes or debugging your PL/SQL subprograms.
    Because bind variables are recognized by SQL*Plus, you can display their values in SQL*Plus or reference them in PL/SQL subprograms that you run in SQL*Plus.
    Creating Bind Variables
    You create bind variables in SQL*Plus with the VARIABLE command. For example
    VARIABLE ret_val NUMBER
    This command creates a bind variable named ret_val with a datatype of NUMBER. See the VARIABLE command for more information. (To list all bind variables created in a session, type VARIABLE without any arguments.)
    Referencing Bind Variables
    You reference bind variables in PL/SQL by typing a colon (:) followed immediately by the name of the variable. For example
    :ret_val := 1;
    To change this bind variable in SQL*Plus, you must enter a PL/SQL block. For example:
    BEGIN
    :ret_val:=4;
    END;

  • What is the difference between TO_CHAR and TO_DATE()?

    Hi everybody,
    i am facing a problem in my system.It is quite urgent, can you explain me "What is the difference between TO_CHAR and TO_DATE()?".
    According to user's requirement, they need to generate a code with format "YYMRRR".
    YY = year of current year
    M = month of current month (IF M >=10 'A' ,M >=11 'B' , M >=10 'C')
    RRR = sequence number
    Example: we have table USER(USER_ID , USER_NAME , USER_CODE)

    10- UID010 , AAAAA , 12A010
    This is the original Script code. But This script runs very well at my Local. Right format. But it just happens wrong format on production.
    12A010 (Right) => 11C010 (Wrong).

  • What is the difference  between ws_upload and gui_upload

    what is the difference  between ws_upload and gui_upload
    what is the difference  between ws_download and gui_down load
    pls tell  briefly

    Hi Kuamr,
    UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
    The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive. For a description of these interfaces, refer to the documentation for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access " Development " Function Builder " Goto " Documentation.
    Instead of using the function modules, you can use the static methods GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD of the global class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.
    Hope this resolves your query.
    Reward all the helpful answers.
    Regards

  • What's the difference between SNC and SRM?

    we will sell SNC in Q2.But i don't know what is the difference between SNC and SRM.
    i've heard SNC suit Direct procurement better than SRM...
    Pls give me the advice and information.
    good regards kenji

    Hi Kenji,
    SRM is more of Supplier Identification and SNC work of building
    relationship with Supplier starts after this Supplier identification.
    SNC is very Good tool to handover Inventory replenishemnt
    to Suppliers and it gives Visibility of inventory information over Web UI.
    SNC has many processes like PO Collaboration, SMI, DR,DCM, SNI,
    Invoice Collaboration,Release process...to accomplish above mentioned task.
    SNC is designed for direct materials procurement.
    SRM has contract negotiations,bids,auctions for sourcing to identify suppliers
    SRM is good for basic purchasing fuctionality and suitable for indirect materials.
    In addition to all these SNC has Customer Collaboration functionality also.
    Regards,
    Vasu

  • What's the difference between jsp and jsf?

    who can tell me what's the difference between jsp and jsf?
    I'm puzzled when I found some of the technology in jsp is so similar to the ones in jsp( javaserver page)

    Hi,
    Find the difference between JSP and JSF
    1. A developer has more control with JSP, but (should) get easier development with JSF
    2. Event handling is done differently in JSP (HTTP) and JSF (Java)
    3. The UI is designed differently (or should be at least) with JSP (markup) and JSF (components).
    4. The end product should also be defined differently - JSP page versus a JSF application.
    Is this the only thing that is need to make a decision for either or? Probably not. There are other pieces that need to be taken in account when deciding which technology to use - tools support, enough components, type of application etc.... At this point there are not enough JSF components (although there are some interesting projects underway - Ajaxfaces, Myfaces, ADF Faces, and WebChart 3d) and enterprise tools support is still limited to a few tools vendor. Looking at our ADF Faces components they are currently available as early access (not production) and demands for these components are stacking up, literally, outside my office doorstep. Although I would love to make them production - now! - it is not a viable solution since we are still checking features and fixing critical bugs.
    All this combined - not enough enterprise level components in production, lacking tools support etc... - leave customers in a vacuum where the decision is either to continue with JSP, since it is mature and has a wide developer base, or move forward with JSF not sure if the support, or the developers will be there. This is particularly sensitive to customers that need to get started now and be production by summer.
    If you are in this vacuum here are some key points promoting JSF:
    1. Fundamental unit is the Component
    2. Built in event and state management
    3. Component sets can be provided by any vendor
    4. Closer to ASP.Net or Swing development
    5. Choice of UI technology
    6. Scale up (rich clients)
    7. Scale down (mobile devices)
    8. Built into J2EE containers in J2EE 5.0 (tentative)

  • What's the Difference Between OLAP and OLTP?

    HI,
    What's the difference between OLAP and OLTP ? and which one is Best?
    -Arun.M.D

    Hi,
       The big difference when designing for OLAP versus OLTP is rooted in the basics of how the tables are going to be used. I'll discuss OLTP versus OLAP in context to the design of dimensional data warehouses. However, keep in mind there are more architectural components that make up a mature, best practices data warehouse than just the dimensional data warehouse.
    Corporate Information Factory, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon, Claudia Imhoff, Ryan Sousa
    Building the Data Warehouse, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon
    With OLTP, the tables are designed to facilitate fast inserting, updating and deleting rows of information with each logical unit of work. The database design is highly normalized. Usually and at least to 3NF. Each logical unit of work in an online application will have a relatively small scope with regard to the number of tables that are referenced and/or updated. Also the online application itself handles the majority of the work for joining data to facilitate the screen functions. This means the user doesn't have to worry about traversing across large data relationship paths. A heavy dose of lookup/reference tables and much focus on referential integrity between foreign keys. The physical design of the database needs to take into considerations the need for inserting rows when deciding on physical space settings. A good book for getting a solid base understanding of modeling for OLTP is The Data Modeling Handbook: A Best-Practice Approach to Building Quality Data Models by Michael C. Reingruber, William W. Gregory.
    Example: Let's say we have a purchase oder management system. We need to be able to take orders for our customers, and we need to be able to sell many items on each order. We need to capture the store that sold the item, the customer that bought the item (and where we need to ship things and where to bill) and we need to make sure that we pull from the valid store_items to get the correct item number, description and price. Our OLTP data model will contain a CUSTOMER_MASTER, A CUSTOMER_ADDRESS_MASTER, A STORE_MASTER, AN ITEM_MASTER, AN ITEM_PRICE_MASTER, A PURCHASE_ORDER_MASTER AND A PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_ITEM table. Then we might have a series of M:M relationships for example. An ITEM might have a different price for specific time periods for specific stores.
    With OLAP, the tables are designed to facilitate easy access to information. Today's OLAP tools make the job of developing a query very easy. However, you still want to minimize the extensiveness of the relational model in an OLAP application. Users don't have the wills and means to learn how to work through a complex maze of table relationships. So you'll design your tables with a high degree of denormalization. The most prevalent design scheme for OLAP is the Star-Schema, popularized by Ralph Kimball. The star schema has a FACT table that contains the elements of data that are used arithmatically (counting, summing, averaging, etc.) The FACT Table is surrounded by lookup tables called Dimensions. Each Dimension table provides a reference to those things that you want to analyze by. A good book to understand how to design OLAP solutions is The Data Warehouse Toolkit: Practical Techniques for Building Dimensional Data Warehouses by Ralph Kimball.
    Example: let's say we want to see some key measures about purchases. We want to know how many items and the sales amount that are purchased by what kind of customer across which stores. The FACT table will contain a column for Qty-purchased and Purchase Amount. The DIMENSION tables will include the ITEM_DESC (contains the item_id & Description), the CUSTOMER_TYPE, the STORE (Store_id & store name), and TIME (contains calendar information such as the date, the month_end_date, quarter_end_date, day_of_week, etc).
