Why the old Droid X

I received a Droid replacement twice. First was a newer version, which I enjoyed the new features, the second was back to the old. Why did i get the older version with the second repair replacement?

Dhart51, in order to resolve your issue can you please DM me your mobile telephone number so I can research your account and get you an answer? Thanks.

Upgrading leaves the old version installed. Why and can I get rid of it?

I had SQL Server 2008 R2 installed on a Win7 box, and upgraded it to SQL Server 2014. All seems to have gone well, but in the programs menu I can see that SSMS 2008 R2 is still installed. For some reason, I seem to have SQL Server 2012 installed as
well, which is clever as I never installed it! I don't know if this came with SQL Server 2014, but I now seem to have
three versions of SQL Server installed!
Is there any reason why the old versions weren't uninstalled? Surely once I've upgraded, I don't need all the old stuff. Can I safely uninstall anything related to 2008 R2 and 2012, or will this cause problems?
Thanks

Why the iPhone 3G doesn't have voice control and a video recorder?

Why the "old" iPhone 3G can't support video and voice control?
Is there a technical explanation?
Yes, I know that they're functions reserved at the iPhone 3GS
but why? Both have a microphone and a camera, the only difference that the 3GS has a faster processor.... so, does someone know why there is this difference?
Thank you very much for yours answers!
mat

"If the 3G offered all the same features as the 3GS, then there would be no reason to upgrade."
'If', maybe, but the fact is that the 3G is not capable ever of offering (due to hardware limitations) the same features as the 3GS, so surely such speculation is pointless and it is only wishful-thinking from those who are either:
1) not prepared to pay for the hardware that will support the facilities they wish were on their 3G, or
2) not prepared to wait for their contracts to allow them free phone upgrades to what will then be one generation beyond the 3GS, allowing the 3GS owners to complain about why their 3GS iPhones can't support the facilities of the next generation iPhones?!
My Mum told me "I 'want' cannot always 'have'....", so if I 'want' then I'll pay and if I can't pay then I'll not moan about not being able to 'have', just work harder or stay quiet until I CAN 'have'.
A wise old bird, my Mum!

WHY cant the new Droids transfer without disconnecting to my Apple desktop computer?

I have the Sony Xperia Z3V and have like one day to decide to return it. Nobody has been helpful. I cannot sync or link my new phone to my Apple desktop. I used to have an HTC Thunderbolt which was flawless and I was able to mount as a drive, view items on the phone before transferring over to my desktop. For this Sony I have NO option but to use that Android File Transfer but it keeps disconnecting on me using the USB connection - VERY frustrating!! It was ok the very first day I had it, but realized it just doesn’t work with Mac. Each day something odd happens to it. I am not into apps so I don’t use a lot of stuff besides basics. So I find the Sony Bridge app for Mac users. But that wouldn’t load because I had Mac OS 10.5.8 and it required Snow Leopard 10.6. So I upgrade to 10.6, an upgrade I didn’t want to make but nothing works without it anymore, and then software updates took it up to the slow 10.6.8 (which significantly slowed and ruined my productivity). I tried the new app and it doesn’t link with my phone at all. So again I contact Sony support and they were NOT helpful, saying that app works with their own Xperia Z3, not with Verizon’s version of it.
I had contacted Verizon and they tell me all that is available for Droid is the Android File Transfer and to contact Sony since they are considered last tier. Sony tells me Verizon developed the phone, so contact Verizon. I am sick of “support” shifting responsibility. 3x I have contacted Sony and have gotten RIDICULOUS suggestions like opening the USB door and restarting the phone, and trying a different USB slot on my MAC and even to install JAVA, which was already on my computer and has nothing to do with anything. I literally stayed quiet on my end knowing full well that these suggestions were absurd by “tech support” who knew nothing at all.
I need a simple function like the HTC Thunderbolt that had the ability to mount as a drive and I was able to view (before transfer) what I am seeing before transferring to my Mac desktop. It was SIMPLE. I was able to see my SD card contents and the internal contents. My SMS-to-Text showed up and that was it. On the new Droid phones, the SD portion doesn’t show up at all!! I am wondering if this is standard behavior for Droids now. I refuse to go iPhone as I do not like the functionality of it and HTC wont come out with a better phone til next year and who knows if it will give me problems with this lack of connectivity.
On the Sony, the naming convention in photos is poorly managed. It is not a good tool to transfer photos over to the desktop, delete them off the cell phone, as they are no longer needed and then when you start to re-shoot photos on the cell phone, it starts over on the naming convention and hence when you transfer files over to the computer, that file already exists and the computer will ask if you want to replace them but you cant because the image is different! (i.e.) If I shoot a photo and they name it #IMAGE_3, I transfer it on my computer and delete #IMAGE_3 off the cell, when I shoot with my cell again, it replaces the old #IMAGE_3 with the new image and hence when I take to my desktop, an #IMAGE_3 already exists with a different image, thus having to rename one of them manually. This recycling of naming convention is NOT efficient.
Bugs so far (a LOT showed up after one day):
Duplicate repeat photos, especially after viewing them, some triplets.
Duplicate text messages on receiver end on a HTC.
Random restart once.
Hit messages – get the settings button or something else. Had to get messages through notifications.
Sony Xperia Z3V does NOT work at night. During night mode and fireworks and any low light, it would focus, be clear and then when you click, it re-focuses and shoots the blurred image, over and over again – clear to shoot, re-thinks at the press of a button and shoots the blur.
Speakers are WEAK! Nothing like the awesome HTC or even the new Motorola Turbo.
The auto rotation was working great when it physically was turned over but not anymore. Does the Incipio Sony Xperia Z3V case have something to do with the triggering system on back?
What is the difference between viewing in “Photos” versus “Album” – “always” or “just once.” Which is best to use so I can stop this dialog box?
My Apple used to run Leopard 10.5.8 and I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6 (which automatically self updated to 10.6.8) and now my computer runs sloooooow. I did all the “cleanup” necessary and its still slow. Trash takes forever to delete and even if I have 3 items in there, it claims I have over 1000. The only reason I upgraded to 10.6 was because nothing online was functioning for my “outdated” OS any longer. I cannot afford to keep up with technology.

The old calender iOS6, in the year view, it shows how much busy I am in a day by indicating the color intensity. But the new calendar year view is totally useless!!! also too bright!! Why apple does this?? What is the way to revert the calendar back???

The old calender iOS6, in the year view, it shows how much busy I am in a day by indicating the color intensity. But the new calendar year view is totally useless!!! also too bright!! Why apple does this?? What is the way to revert the calendar back???

Unfortunately, that's the way the cookie crumbles nowadays. Sir Jony Ive's GUI design for iOS7 has been met with much skepticism (to say the least). But until the company sees the compelling need for an adjustment or reversal, it "ain't happenin' ". So amble over to the feedback page ( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ ) and make your displeasure known to the company, OR make it known by not purchasing its products. Because as long as the iGadgets continue selling as fast as they can make them, they will see no need for change.
BTW, do note you are NOT talking to Apple here. This is just a user-to-user forum.
Edit: for now, you can also try out any of the alternate calendaring apps available in the App Store.

Why do I need to return the old part, if I purchase a new part?

Well, I had a problem with my motherboard, and got it replaced by an on-site tech HP sent me.
The notebook is well out of warranty, aand I paid for the new motherboard+labor.
However, when the tech showed up, he said he won't replace the motherboard unless I give him the old motherboard. He went on to say that this was the "company policy" and he won't let me keep any old part even if I pay for the new part.
I was too tired t o argue with him, and he replaced the motherboard, and took away the old motherboard.
On second thought, this is pretty absurd.
It's like HP telling me "If you purchase a new HP notebook, you'll have to return your old HP notebook back to us".
It would make sense if I was getting a free replacement and the notebook was under warranty. It doesn't make any sense when the notebook is out of warranty and I'm paying for the replacement part.
Think of it, when I purchased the notebook, i obviously paid for the motherboard that came with the notebook. So why does HP get to take it away from me?
If I purchase a new battery from HP store instead of amazon, do I need to return my old battery to HP?
If I purchase a new keyboard from the HP store, do I need to return my old keyboard?
I can give you the case number if you want.
Honestly, if this is the "company policy", I won't ever bother with another HP product again.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

HP only has new motherboards. They sell the bad ones into the Chinese market and they show up on eBay and similar places. You have a new motherboard. If you can tell us the part number of what you bought we can tell you the "full" price and the "exchange" price of the part. They should definitely explain the options to you but I think they likely assume you want the lower exchange price.

Why can't my old iPod go from Mac to PC ? Don't the old ones all do that ?

hi
i know that the new iPods, once formatted for either a Mac or a PC, can only be connected to said OS.
but the old ones, used to be able to go back and forth any time. albeit there might have been 1 or 2 little hitches - but i remember overcoming them rather easily.
so i have a friend of mine who gave me his ipod and i set it all up on my mac. loaded it to the brim.
it is a 20 gig running OS 1.2.1 [and it looks just like my really old did - so i assume it's pretty old]
its model # is A1099 and it was made in 2005.
i am not sure what other way there is to figure out exactly which generation it is -- but maybe i provided enough info here for someone to properly identify it.
so what gives? when i plug it into a PC - it only gives me the option to system restore from scratch and wipe out all my hard work!
can someone gimme some ideas as to why it won't work on both os's?
thanks!!

iPods that are formatted for Windows can be used on both a Mac and a PC as is, while Mac formatted iPods require third-party software to be used in Windows; iTunes will not update the firmware of an iPod which isn't formatted for that platform outside of a restore. This does not apply to the iPod shuffle, which is always formatted for Windows, and the iPod touch, for which all disk access is handled by iTunes and cannot be used as a storage drive.

Exporting to Facebook - why can't I use the old plug-in?

It's nice that iPhoto '09 tried to help us with the Facebook exporter built-in. But why couldn't they make it useful? Why can't I tag people before I upload them? Why can't I upload photos to an existing album? I wouldn't mind so much, but they seemed to have disabled the existing (working) plug-in that was available. So now I have to export the pictures to my desktop and upload them through Facebook. Hmm...doesn't seem too user-friendly.

Exporting to Facebook - why can't I use the old plug-in?
Have you considered asking the author of the plug-in?
It's nice that iPhoto '09 tried to help us with the Facebook exporter built-in. But why couldn't they make it useful?
Millions upon millions of people do find it very useful
Why can't I tag people before I upload them?
You can - have you watched the iPhoto tutorials?
Why can't I upload photos to an existing album?
You can IF the album was created by iPhoto
Do you have an iPhoto question that one of the iPhoto users who volunteer here might be able to help with?

Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there. For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color. For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted. Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something. You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

Why the ISTORE of Malta is not up to date with the latest movies and series like the UK & USA and why old movies are being uploaded .
I believe the apple should be universal in all the products and a small island like Malts should have the same products for sale on ISTORE like of the UK and USA.

The iTunes and App stores are inherently different in different countries. Local laws on copyright and other limits on the distribution of intellectual property make it impossible for Apple to simply put everything in every store. Sometimes, the owner of the intellectual property does not allow it to be distributed everywhere. Keep in mind that Apple does not own the music, books, movies and such that they allow for sale in their store front, so they do not necessarily have any say in what may, or may not appear in what store.

Why can't I just download the old iPod app? The new music app offers NO podcast support?

I just downloaded and installed os5, and now all of my podcasts are gone (everything else is fine), and there is no program that will play them when I download them again.
What is going on? Why can't I just go get the old iPod app, it worked fine.

Mine plays them fine ... But it did move the Podcast button off the main page. Click on "More" and then you should see them. You might want to make sure that iTunes is still syncing podcasts to your phone.
If you click "edit" (top left) you can move it back to the bottom row.

Why the inconsistency with the "Droid" name and Android devices.

This seems like poor marketing to me.
Verizon made such a big deal about the name DROID.
The was the DROID and the DROID ERIS, now there is the DROID INCREDIBLE and the DROID X and soon to be the DROID 2.
But why is there the Moto Devour and LG Ally instead of the DROID DEVOUR by Motorola and the DROID ALLY by LG?

I can't help it just say Incredible, or HTC Incredible. I leave out the "droid" nonsense because I always get some cell phone illiterate person saying "you got a droid cool, my entire family just got free ones on an upgrade". You know what I'm saying. It's just annoying to have to explain or show people what I have and what they have or want..
I really wish VZW let Moto only use that term.
Back when the Incredible was a rumor it was cool to think something different was coming out. They announced it as the HTC "Droid" Incredible. Geez.... Whatever....
YEah I get what they are doing but it is leading to a lot of irritation. People talk about the DROID and could be talking about any of them. So yeah I just call them the Droid (moto Droid), Incredible (HTC DROID Incredible), Eris (HTC DROID ERIS), Ally (LG Droid ALLY), Devour (Moto Droid Devour), Droid X (because DROID X just sounds awesome even if Droid is over done). I would like a Samsung personally mostly because I have had nothing but good experiences with Samsung phones and since my Droid was good with phone calls (better after some modding) I have to think that a Samsung Android phone would be Gnarly on VZW. It is odd but it seems to me certain manufacturers are better on GSM and some are better on CDMA. Samsung and LG seem better on CDMA where Motorola and a few others are better with GSM. Or at least that has been my experience with feature phones over the last what 15 years. Or I guess not when ever 3G came out would be GSM/CDMA but also back when I was on Sprint, Bell South, and GTE, Bell South I had great luck with Nokia and Moto - Eventually they became GSM and were swollowed by AT&T a few years ago, Sprint my Moto was good but I always had better signals with Samsung and LG phones, and GTE which shortly after was swollowed by Verizon has always been good with Samsung and LG (LG has been a little more hit or miss they have had a few misses though which is why I am more excited about Samsung than LG) and the MOTOROLA phones I had were the ones where I was counting the days until my upgrade.
The DROID name is about branding. They want to stand out as a big ANDROID player and one way to do that is to snatch up as many Android phones as you can get the manufacturers to make you and the other is to unify their image on your network with Branding. The idea being to get people thinking DROID and kind of downplay the Motorola, HTC, LG, Samsung, etc roles. Really it is something Google should have thought and had it on all the Android phones but Verizon is using it mostly for marketing purposes. It makes for some interesting commercials and has been successful. What gets me though is when people refer to EVO and Mytouch Slide as Droids because they are Android phones. LOL. Doesn't bother me but probably would bother Verizon if it ever made it to a major platform. The marketing is so effective it is about to be like Jello and Aspirin and Coke in the south. Any gelatin desert or generic Aspirin or soda is called by one of these names no matter who makes it. Bayer lost that battle a long time ago but the other two persist.
