Where is the GPS receiver located on the new iPhone 3G? I see 3 dots where the infared sensor is by the handset speaker... Is there an actual receiver? Why can't I find any real tech specs on the subject?
Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn more?

Yes, there is a REAL GPS receiver that communicates with REAL satellites.
That answers 'most' of it I did want to know that the new iPhone 3G ACTUALLY gets info directly from satellites (not just relayed from towers).
I also wanted to know where it was located... But I'm thinking now that it is internal and can not be seen from the outside. Is this possible? does GPS info from satellites go through the shell of the phone to an internal receiver?
I did some tests myself to see what the small 'dots' did near the 'ear' speaker did. Here is a pic of what I came up with after using a flashlight while covering some up with electrical tape:

Now, here are pictures from the links above saying that the receiver is located near those sensors (not my pics.. i stole them from the links/websites above):

Can someone clarify weather or not the GPS antenna is internal and can NOT be seen from the outside of the iPhone 3G?

Can we receive EDI as a String through WCF in to the orchestration receive location

Hi,
I had expose the orchestration as WCF service. Now i want to send the EDI file using WCF client to the receive location. So that my EDI file goes into the orchestration receive port and i would get the XML on the Send port.
How i can achieve this? Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks

If you have exposed Orchestration as WCF service. And to test the process you can use test clients like
WCFStrom,
SOAPUI.
With these test clients, when you add service reference to the URL of you WCF service (or provide the WSDL file) , these tools would read the contracts of the
WCF and would provide an interface through which you can send the input parameter as expected by your exposed Orchestration.
If your Orchestration (which is exposed as WCF service) is configured to receive EDI files, when you provide URL reference of the WCF service to the test clients
(like WCFStrom, SOAPUI ), these test client would
read the WSDL and would provide an interface for you to enter the data for the EDI. Look the following image of an WCFStrom which is expecting a sample schema (in your case, it would be the schema for WDI)
So when you post a message using
test clients, it would post the message to the WCF service. You would have got a Receive Location configured with WCF-based adapter (you get this when you
import the binding which got created when you used the BizTalk WCF service publishing Wizard) which is bounded to orchestration (which is exposed as WCF) would receive the posted message and orchestration would process the posted message and you can see the
output in send port as you have configured..

Does anyone know the technical specifics of the GPS receiver in the iPad2?

I have an iPad2 that I use in the aviation community and I am trying to learn the technical specifics of the GPS receiver in the 3G iPad 2, i.e. sensitivity, how many satelites does it receive concurrently, what level of accuracy is used to measure its reception quality?
Does anyone have this data or know where I might find it?

Ifixit.com identifies it as the Broadcom BCM4751 Integrated Monolithic GPS Receiver in their iPad 2 G3 teardown.

the external GPS is used only for 911 but the device will not operate without it...this causes great inconvenience for me, having to run that cable to a window in the two houses I use it..is there a way to disable the GPS if I do not care about the 911 functionability..? this is the only downside I have with the network extender and it renders my device useless..

Nope, GPS is a Federal requirement for anything operating a cellular telephone signal. You don't ever plan to call 911 until you are in an emergency. I don't see that requirement changing any time soon.
If you are truly inconvenienced by the VZW network extender then perhaps you should disable you calling features in these areas and swap over to WiFi only. There are many services and apps out there that can route your phone services through internet service providers.

I dropped my mac pro. The disc drive plays but will not record. medium drive error. How hard is it to replace the drive my self. i see screws on the bottom. Could I just order a new internal drive and replace it? Or is it too complicated for the average ?

I dropped my mac pro. The disc drive plays but will not record. medium drive error. How hard is it to replace the drive my self. i see screws on the bottom. Could I just order a new internal drive and replace it? Or is it too complicated for the average person? Would be cheaper to buy an external drive than to replace internal one? Any advice is appreciated

How certain are you the superdrive ONLY is at fault?
That depends on your skill level, if you grew up tearing things apart and putting them together, its absurd how easy it is.
For some however its too daunting. On a general skill level for the "average" person its about a 3 out of 10 in difficulty.
Can you order same? yes.

Hi Ranendra,
For basic understanding of Dashboards and Models you can use standard Templates or samples which ll come along with dashboard designer(Formly Xcelsius) installation.
For path File-->Templates(or Samples).
Under Templates you ll have different categories and for each you ll find the dashboard Templates.

Sometimes my ipod does not down load my entire library when I sync up with itunes, even if I have items loaded in the play list and can see them in the play list in my itunes when I check my ipod play list some items are missing part 1 will be there but part two is not. Why?????

How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

My slideshow doesn't show the pictures anymore - I can see them in the top row but they are not displayed in slideshow

I created a slideshow and when I went back to look it plays the music but not the pictures - I can see them in the top row but they don't show up even if I click on them - music still plays!

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
are you able to view the photos in full size in the library?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

The sys light blinks red and the GPS light is solid red even though the antenna is at a window. Wan light is blue.

My extender work fine for the last 8 months but now the system light just blinks red and the GPS is solid red even though the antenna is next to a window?

How do I shrink the size of the white area box to see more of the persona?

I would like to shrink the white area of the home page, so that most of the persona shows. All I use the white area for is the search feature, and the rest is blank. I asked a similar question before, but it was too technical to understand. Now, I can't even return to that answer.
I would like to have a more customizable web page, where I can move, re-size, or even delete parts of it. Mostly, I would like to see the persona, which is pretty. A programmable home page, which could use something like Print Shop or other greeting card setups, would be good.
I do not think I am the only one who does not understand the written instructions for this. I tried to follow them, but I messed up the design even more. Please look at Optimum Online, which has video tutorials, where someone actually shows you what to do and talks you through it. I set up my Optimum Online and Cablevision settings with that.

Personas decorate the Toolbar area ''(and maybe the Status bar at the bottom)'' of the Firefox browser window - the UserInterface; the "white area" below the Personas is the content area where the web page is displayed. Having a "more customizable web page" wouldn't do anything to display more of the Persona image. If you want a "customizable homepage" where you can move content around the page or add and remove items, find a web page like that and set that as your homepage in Firefox. You can any web page that you want as your "Homepage", you can even have multiple "homepages" in separate Tabs.<br />
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
If you want to see more of the Persona image vertically, you need to add some toolbars via the Toolbar Customize mode or by installing some Toolbar extensions that add a Toolbar to the Firefox UI. You need to add something to every new toolbar that you add, even a blank '''Space'''; if you don't place anything on a newly created Toolbar it will disappear when you exit the Customize mode. <br />

I now get a blank (white) screen in the Viewer. Can still drop video from the viewer into the canvas, but don't see it in the viewer. Please help!

It doesn't seem to matter what project I'm working on... the picture in the viewer is gone. All I see is a blank (white) screen. If I put the cursor over the viewer and drag to the timeline, the clip will appear on the time line (and in the canvas) but I don't see it in the viewer. I usually edit my clips in the viewer and not on the canvas. Can anyone explain why this might be happening and how I might fix. I'm suspecting I must have messed up one of the settings but I'll be darned if I can figure out which one or how to fix. Please help!

David. Thank you very much. The problem was not with the canvas but rather the Viewer. But the solution was the same. Somehow, the Viewer window was re-set to Alpha. I changed it back to RGB.... and the picture is back. These issues are often very simple.... but they can drive you bats if you don't know the answer. Very grateful. Tim

Z10 - How to make the built in Photo app see photos on the SD Ram

Hi,
Was using my Z10 for recording video when it reported memory problems.. No problem. I baught it a 64 GIG SD ram to address any memory problems.. Perfect, all photos and videos now go to the SD ram.. BUT.....
Neither the photos nor the videos appear in the lists of content in either the built in Photo application nor the Videos application. To see them I have to go to File Manager and view files stored on the SD ram were they have been recorded as expected and can be seen. Often when you go to see a video or picture in the File Manager to view a photo or video, no thumbnail of the photo is present! instead you get a generic icon that the file is a photo and you have to open it to see what photo or video it is. It isn't until some time after the thumbnails are properly updated. It also puts both photos and videos in the Camera folder on the SD ram instead of the associated folders on the SD.
I was at the telus store while 2 telus reps struggling to find any way to get the photo app or the video app to display the SD ram content. They commented that Blackberry indicates it supports up to 32gig in SD ram but the fact that it is recording and retrieving properly indicates 64 gigs works too at least for this purpose.
The Question: How does one tell the Photo and Video app to display camera data on the SD ram?
Thanks,
The Manx

I've had issues with the 64gb cards also, one worked and another did exactly as you described.
Some users have had to format the 64gb card to FAT32 to make it work.
