What Services are lost on Branded Phones

Has anyone come accross a web site that lists the features you loose or are forced to use because you have purchased a branded phone.
Does such a thing exist?
Matt

No there isn't a list because it varies between different network providers. Some networks only brand phones whilst others almost completely cripple them by replacing the default programs and limit features.
For example O2 UK only add a customised themes, a few weblinks and a screen saver to nokia phones all of which can be removed or hidden. They don't disable any features.
Orange UK tend to add things like a custom homesreen that cannot always be disabled, prevent you from changing the shortcut buttons, disable voip are among a few things that they may do.
The level of customisation also differs between models.
So with network branded phones you don't really know what you are getting until you get it. You could try speaking to other people that have phones on the network that your are interested in or ask to try the phone in store.

    What services are unavailable inthe $19.99 per month version of creative cloud that I would find in the 49.99 per month version?

    The $19.99 plan is not the full Cloud - it's a Single App subscription. One app only. All the other apps are 30 day free trials then they stop working.
    If you choose to subscribe to Muse, and Muse alone, as a Single App subscription then it's $14.99/month.
    Click the Join button under Single App at https://creative.adobe.com/plans and click on each app to see their individual pricing.
    If you want more than 2 apps then the full Cloud is more cost effective.

  • What services are added to the Windows system?

    After installing of Oracle Coherence, configuring the members and adding the ReplicatedCaches on the Windows XP system, what services are added to the Windows system?
    Thank you

    You would have to use a java service wrapper to run the coherence as a service on windows.
    Here are some that work:

  • GRID Control Server (OMS) - what services are required?

    What services are required (and what is the startup order) on the Windows 2003 GRID Control Server (OMS). The target database is 10g on Solaris.

    Hi.
    I assume that you have three folders in the oms installation folder, called oms, agent and db.
    You should first start the grid database on the 2003 server along with the listener from the db folder.
    Than you should install the application server processes by running:
    opmnctl startall from the oms\opmn\bin - folder.
    Than you should start the agent by runnint agent\bin\emctl start agent
    You should further start the agent on the Solaris node and verify the upload to oms:
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start agent
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl status agent
    Good luck

  • What styles are lost when importing/converting PS text to editable text?

    In CS5.5, when I import a PSD file with one or more text layers (retaining layer styles and editable layer styles) some of the layer styles change upon import.
    In addition, after import, in the Comp panel, sometimes there are no visual differences between that display and the display in PS. But in individual style layers in the Timeline panel, things have changed. Most typically, strokes with gradients are changed either to a solid color (gray or red) or to a simple white-to-black gradient. How is it the display can show a gradient when the stroke layer shows a solid color?
    When the text layers are converted to editable text, those changed style properties kick in.
    I'm guessing some or all of this has to do with AE text not being able to have a gradient for the fill or stroke? That being the case, is there a work-around?
    If this goes beyond not being able to use a gradient for fill or stroke, what are the "rules"? What styles are lost/changed upon import and when converting to editable text?

    After Effects includes the entire Photoshop rendering engine, so any PSD and its layer styles should render fine (i.e., just like in Photoshop). If it doesn't, please submit a bug report.
    But After Effects does not include the entire UI from Photoshop for creating and modifying layer styles.
    The layer styles feature in After Effects exists primarily to provide fidelity between what you see in Photoshop and what you see in After Effects---not so that you can add and modify layer styles in After Effects. The UI in the Timeline panel is therefore a barebones implementation that doesn't include many of the features of layer styles in Photoshop. As you observe, there are many cases in which the representation in the Timeline panel is much more simplistic than what is in the Composition panel.
    This separation between the UI and the ability to render with good fidelity is most apparent with pattern overlays. See this video for a good demonstration of how to use layer styles in After Effects by tapping into these features in Photoshop:

    > In CS5.5, when I import a PSD file with one or more text layers (retaining layer styles and editable layer styles) some of the layer styles change upon import.
    How, exactly, do they change? A screenshot would be useful.
    If it's what I'm suspecting, then the page that Mylenium points you to has the clue:
    "When a layer style is applied to a vector layer—such as a text layer, a shape layer, or a layer based on an Illustrator footage item—visual elements that apply to the edges of the contents of the layer apply to the outlines of the vector objects, such as text characters or shapes. When a layer style is applied to a layer based on a non-vector footage item, the layer style applies to the edges of the layer’s bounds or masks."
    When you convert between Photoshop text and editable text, you're changing the render order and also switching between raster images and vectors. This can affect appearance in many ways.

    /etc/system doesn't really have such information. /etc/services is like /etc/hosts. It forms a mapping, but has not inormation about the availability of the contents. Further, services don't have to be listed there anyway.
    You could use 'netstat -a' to see what ports are listening/busy.

  • What services are created?

    When I try to install Forms 6.0.8, the installer says that it has to create and start some services. What does it create? A Forms Server Listener? Any other services?
    I've never actually successfully installed this version of Forms and there doesn't appear to be any documentation stating what the installer is trying to create.
    If I already have another Forms Server Listener service defined and running (say for Forms 6.0.5.33) on the same machine, will this cause the installer any grief?
    Thanx in advance!

    Hi Ajay
    The services actually performed (work actually done) by a service provider are recorded in a Service Entry Sheet with reference to the purchase order.
    A service provider's invoice relating to a certain invoice can be entered only after the entry sheet has been accepted.
    Actually the accepted entry sheet is the basis for IV process.

  • What services are normally started in version XI

    This is probably a quick and easy answer, but I've just inherited support of our Crystal Reports XI environment and woudln't you know I have to stop services for a database change tomorrow (needing to stop any communications that might be talking to the back-end database).  I need to stop servicess on the applicable server and I don't have any information and/or manuals from my predecessor as to which services relate to our Business Objects environment.
    If I look at the Windows Services screen (Programs...Administrative Tools....Services) I'm thinking I'll need to stop the following services on the actual physical server and restart them after the database change is completed, but would really appreciate any other insight others can offer:
    Crystal Reports Cache Server
    Crystal Reports Job Server
    Crystal Reoprts Page Server
    Report Application Server
    Or would it be better to go to the svcmgr.exe (Central Configuration Manager) and stop 16 Running "services" I see there, 4 of which are the same as the ones listed above?
    Thanks for your help!

    You should always work through the Central Configuration Manager (CCM).  I would stop everything there - it's safer that way.

    Just as with Task Killers, you will find a similar debate about third-party battery savers, such as Juice Defender etc.  I put both firmly in the uneccessary-to-harmful camp, but many others disagree.  Vendor provided software, such as Moto's Smart Actions can handle many of the tasks that used to be done by other apps.

    2010 iMac
    2 iPad 2s
    2 iPhone 4s
    Computers on Snow Leopard
    iOS 5
    Everything is updated
    I want :
    1.  to have everything working together, with remote access from anywhere on the internet, file sharing, streaming & transfer.
    2.  the security of a VPN connection. 
    I will soon update my existing router w/an Airport Extreme.  What VPN/Remote Access client(s) should I get? Is there one solution for both jobs, or do I need to get more than one service?  I have looked at LogMeIn, Witopia.  Thanks for the help.

    I've been down this road and settled on a much simpler solution...
    VPNs are ok... but the performance is bad, they send TCP packets inside TCP packets... which is a bad thing, some connections completely break down. security is o-k, but openVPN is much better yet more complicated to set up. Also you have to go through all the mess of setting up the server.
    I tried using VPNs for a while, and then instead settled with tunneling specific connections over ssh... it is more secure and elegant, there is no server setup, however it is not seemless.. you have to set up the connections/ports individually each time, this can get messy if you want access to lots of things at once.
    I eventually came accross sshuttle, and this is what i have stuck with because it's just bloody great... it's like a VPN but uses SSH. So you don't have to set up a VPN server... you just need access to an ssh server (i.e your home mac with "remote login" (ssh) enabled, and your router to foward ssh requests to that machine).
    not only do you not have to mess around with server configs, but it also give far better performance, stability, and the security of ssh (i.e whichever cypher you want). This is because unlike VPN, sshuttle pulls the TCP packets apart before sending them over SSH (which is allready using TCP) and then re-assembles them the other side with python. the result is comparably better performance and stability than VPN protocols.
    you can route individual IPs from the servers subnet, or tell it to automatically find and merge all host names / IPs it can find with your current subnet.
    Theory of Operation
    sshuttle is not exactly a VPN, and not exactly port forwarding. It's kind of both, and kind of neither.
    It's like a VPN, since it can forward every port on an entire network, not just ports you specify. Conveniently, it lets you use the "real" IP addresses of each host rather than faking port numbers on localhost.
    On the other hand, the way it works is more like ssh port forwarding than a VPN. Normally, a VPN forwards your data one packet at a time, and doesn't care about individual connections; ie. it's "stateless" with respect to the traffic. sshuttle is the opposite of stateless; it tracks every single connection.
    You could compare sshuttle to something like the old Slirp program, which was a userspace TCP/IP implementation that did something similar. But it operated on a packet-by-packet basis on the client side, reassembling the packets on the server side. That worked okay back in the "real live serial port" days, because serial ports had predictable latency and buffering.
    But you can't safely just forward TCP packets over a TCP session (like ssh), because TCP's performance depends fundamentally on packet loss; it must experience packet loss in order to know when to slow down! At the same time, the outer TCP session (ssh, in this case) is a reliable transport, which means that what you forward through the tunnel never experiences packet loss. The ssh session itself experiences packet loss, of course, but TCP fixes it up and ssh (and thus you) never know the difference. But neither does your inner TCP session, and extremely screwy performance ensues.
    sshuttle assembles the TCP stream locally, multiplexes it statefully over an ssh session, and disassembles it back into packets at the other end. So it never ends up doing TCP-over-TCP. It's just data-over-TCP, which is safe.
    Anyway, you can find it on github here https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle
    if you uncomfortable using the command line, someone has also bundled it into an app here: https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle/commits/dist/macos
    IMPORTANT, the latest version invokes a bug in one of apple's drivers after a while which causes a kernel panic, (this isn't the same as the bug where you have to reset your network interface like it says in the readme, this WILL cause a kernel panic) stick with version 0.53 untill ether Apple fixes the bug, or sshuttle stops antagonising it. 0.53 works perfectly at the moment. you can ether install git and clone the specific version or download the 0.53 app here instead:
    http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/sshuttle-Download-97917.html
    alternatively, if your loging in from linux there aren't any problems with 0.60 because the system would have different dirvers of course.
    One last note... you said you wanted everything to work together, one thing that will not work over VPNs, SSH, and sshuttle is bojour... this is significant because things like AFP shares wont pop up automatically, you will have to specify them ... i.e command+k in finder and type AFP://192.168.0.x or VNC://192.168.0.x etc this is because none of these options support multicasting which bonjour requires. This isn't such a big deal so long as you know what services are available on your machine and how to manually connect to them (like i said above)

  • How can i tell what devices are accessing my iMessages?

    I suspect someone has set up an iPad to download my iMessages without my authorization. How can I tell what devices are linked to my phone's iMessaging?

    Thank you both. I am changing my password...I was just hoping there was some way I could tell if this other person had been reading my iMessages up to this point. It seems like there is not. How about this scenerio: I turn off the iMessaging on my phone. I have someone who has iMessaging send me an iMessage. We see if their device registers their message as "delivered" even if it doesn't come through to my phone. Would that indicate then that it had been delivered to another device?

  • What services do employee discounts get applied to?

    So I just found out my job enables me to get an 18% discount for my bill. It says that the 18% discount is for "eligible services". Anyone know what services are eligible? Will it just be 18% of my total bill?
    Thanks.

    Depends on what your company negotiated with Verizon and which plan you are on.  You may want to ask within your company.  For the discount(s) to be applicable, the Verizon account needs to be in your name.  And again, it depends on your company's agreement with Vzw, but discounts may be applied to portions of the calling plan (and may be only on plans of a minimum dollar amount), the data plan, or both.  Sometimes discounts also are applied to devices and accessories.
