Wi-fi won't work in Flight mode

Hi everyone - was wondering if anyone here could help me. I'm planning on taking my iphone overseas without roaming and just using wifi for skype and messaging (ping, whatsapp etc.). However, when I put my phone in flight mode, even though it's connected to wifi, as evidenced by the symbol at the top of the screen, it fails to connect to any web page or receive my email and 'whatsapp' even goes on to say that I don;t have a valid internet connection.
I'm not sure what it could be...help would be much appreciated!

Just put in a SIM card you can buy in the destination country and put it in iPhone. Calls are then cheap.

WRT54G v4 won't work in PPPoE mode...

WRT54G v4 won't work in PPPoE mode...
For the past few years, I've had my WRT54G v4 set up to run in PPPoE mode. My Siemens Speedstream 5200 is set to run in Bridge Mode. It's worked fine for a long time. If I ever ran into a problem, I could always simply reset both, re-do all the settings, and it'd be fine.
Today I come home from work, it's not working at all. I reset the settings, redo everything, still not working. I do this a few times. It repeatedly just won't connect to anything. The DSL modem activity lights are flashing, everything is normal, the Status page in my Linksys setup all reads fine (it's connecting through the modem like it should, acquiring an IP address, etc). So, I decide I'm gonna reset the modem and try bypassing the Linksys.
That turns out to work just fine.
So I reset the Linksys, hook my PC back up to the Linksys, and everything is fine. But here's the rub...
If I try to bridge the modem and put the Linksys in PPPoE mode, it simply stops working. If I put it back into DHCP mode and reset the DSL modem, it still won't work. Once it enters PPPoE mode, the Linksys simply stops working as it should. Nothing besides a reset will make it start working.
Any suggestions/explanations as to what would cause this? I'm completely baffled, personally. I'm running the DSL modem in it's normal state and the Linksys in DHCP but I really prefer it the other way. I just can't figure out why it isn't working.
So, to sum up:
1. Connection is fine when going straight through the DSL modem.
2. Connection is fine when routed through the Linksys into the DSL modem with the Linksys in DHCP mode.
3. Once DSL modem is set to Bridge Mode and Linksys to PPPoE, I lose internet connectivity. No DNS, nothing.
4. Even if I change the settings back to DHCP, it still will not work. I must manually reset the router's settings using the reset button, doing the same with the DSL modem.
Any suggestions? I've tried everything I can possibly think of.

You need to Upgrade the Router's firmware in order to get the connection work again with PPPoE...
Download 2.95 MB...Once the Firmware has been downloaded you need to unzip the firmware file, it will unzip 3 files, you need the .bin file...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful" After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

Remote Desktop Shortcuts won't work in FULLSCREEN mode

Hello,
I found lots of
shortcuts won’t work during remote desktop connection between Win7 64 host (home premium) to Win 7 64 guest (professional):
Include:
ALP+PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN
CTRL + ALT + ±
In order to make them work I need to exit full screen mode of remote desktop first (can be done with CTRL+ALT+BREAK)
Is there any fix?
Bob

Hi，
Have you check the "Local Resources" under Remote Desktop Connection "properties",? just as screen shot below:
You can also test this issue with On-screen keyboard, check if issue persists.

5ghz Wifi doesn't work in Flight-Mode with Wifi tu...

** Lumia 820 **
Turn Flight-Mode [ON]. This disables all wireless connections, including phone network, bluetooth, and wifi AS EXPECTED.
Now manually turn Wifi [ON]. 5ghz networks will not show as available. 2.4ghz networks both show, and connect normally.
Turn Flight-Mode [OFF]. 5ghz networks now show and work normally. This is non-sensicle.
Can anyone confirm that their phone contains the same bug.
OS Version: 8.0.9903.10
Firmware Rev Num: 1232.2109.1242.1001

you would need to ring nokia themselves or visit a nokia store to report this as an issue. Whilst this forum is the nokia forum, its for the community to help each other.. Nokia reps rarely discuss issues on here. They may make announcements from time to time.
Having said that both the moderators and some nokia staff do visit the pages to keep an eye on things such as these issues, even though they don't comment on them directly.
I would be keen to see if this issue is related to the firmware or the hardware. Obviously if its hardware related then maybe Nokia can look at it for future models, if it firmware related then Microsoft may be able to fix it in some future release.

External Display won't work in clamshell mode

Hi - I can't get my external display to work with the MacBook in clamshell mode - It works fine with the lid open.
I'm using it with the apple bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I've obviously changed a setting without realising - can anyone help.
Thank You.

Sorry - I've now got it to work.
I don't know how - I just went through all the settings one by one, switched them off and back on again and it now works - I have to assume it is 'user error' but I can't work out which bit

Siri won't work in data mode

siri does not respond in data mode. I have tried resetting, restarting, turning siri on/off, data mode on/off. Siri is not available in data mode. My carrier is AT&T.

What do you mean "data mode?" Do you mean you are on AT&T's network as opposed to Wi-Fi? Does it work on Wi-Fi?

IE10 won't work in desktop mode

So I'm using an HP laptop. OS is Windows 8. I use Internet Explorer 10, and the IE app on the Windows 8 home screen works. But when using desktop mode, IE doesn't work. When I click on the IE tab, a window comes up but it never loads. I tried a couple
of things like restarting my computer, clicking out and back into IE, disabling add-ons, using the troubleshooter to detect problems in IE performance (no issues detected), and nothing worked. So I've been using the Windows 8 app version of
IE, but I prefer to just use it through desktop mode. Does anyone have any idea of what is wrong and how to resolve the issue?
Thanks in advance.

starting IE in the NoHome state and then getting out of it.
What did you see then? It should have opened a res://ieframe.dll/NavCancl.htm page.
You could run ProcMon to see what is going on. It would be best to have two traces of this scenario, one working and whatever it is that you are getting. Typically your case is found to be something else that you have forgotten about that would
be interfering. Broken Family Safety is one example but I also saw it caused by the Java updater, so it could be just about anything. Using the suggested diagnostic should keep your traces as compact as possible.
You could also try simulating the same scenario in a safe mode boot. Unfortunately we cannot use ProcMon in that environment but you could at least use SysInternalSuite's AutoRuns to compare what is being loaded in each case.
Good luck

A700: PS3 Won't Work in HDMI Mode

When I connect my PS3 to my A700 using an HDMI cable, there is no picture or sound. I know the PS3 works, because it works fine when I hook it up to the A700 using AV cables, and I know the HDMI cable works, because I can use it to connect my laptop to the A700. I have changed the settings on my PS3 to HDMI, so I know that's not the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey,
I have had the same issue for the past few days, I think the problem lies with the hdmi input on the a700. I've used several different cables and I've finally managed to get a connection to my ps3 by simply moving the cable around slightly at the back of the a700, taking it out and firmly holding it in until an image appears.
The port seems to be very temperamental, if I move it in any way when using the ps3 then the screen goes black and everything's lost again. This may only be my a700 but my problem was exactly the same as yours, it may be an issue with all a700s.
Hope this helps!

Video won't play in preview mode. Any ideas?

Hello everyone.
Wondering if anyone can help me with a little issue I'm having with Final Cut Pro.
For some reason, video playback won't work in preview mode (apple+F12). It just pauses, but the audio plays. I've checked that the Video Playback is set to Digital Cinema and that I select All Frames in External playback, but it still remains looking like a still frame - with the audio. However, the footage plays fine in the canvas window.
Any clues on what the issue could be?
Just so you know, I'm using a Lumix GH3 camera, with no firewire. I have to import the .mst files into iMovie, with USB, and export them into .movs to get them to work in Final Cut. If anyone knows of a much simpler way to do this then that would be a great help.
Could that affect the playback?
Thanks in advance.

there's probably your problem. Although fcp will allow you to import h264 quicktimes, it's not a compatible format. Use compressor to convert to prores422. Post back if you need any further help with this.

Windows Stuck in Safe Mode - mouse won't work - need my data...

New Mac User, well two months of trying to get it to opperate correctly. Unbelievable! I've re-installed XP SP2 too many times to count, finally had it up and thought it was running fine for the last week, then I went over to the Mac OS tried accessing windows through boot camp, it shut down the Mac OS, then when I tried to go back to boot windows directly, I received the damning <windows root> \system32\hal.dll file is missing or corrupt - again.
I've gone through a bunch of posts, tried a number of the instructions, and now have a worse issue, my computer is now stuck in safe mode with Windows, by instructions, here, I'd disabled everything for start up in Configuration Utility and checked start up in safe mode there too, so now I can't get it out of it, and since my mouse and keyboard won't opperate in safe mode, I get to the log in page to select user but the mouse just won't move and pressing "CTRL ALTDLT" no response.
In the Recovery Counsole when I rean CHKDSK /r this is what it came back with...
"The volume appears to contain or or more unrecoverable problems."
97638572 kilobytes total disk space.
90877508 kilobytes are available.
406 bytes in each allocation unit.
24409643 total allocation units on disk.
22719377 allocation units available on disk.
So what does that mean? Not sure what the " volume appears to contain one or more unrecoverable problems" means when it's not telling me what they could possibly be. Thoughts anyone?
If anyone knows or has some good advice on how to get windows back up and running correctly, and without wiping out my data - as I can't get it backed up, I would be tremendously grateful...
2 months of this is really enough, dying to use my system, and praying that I can...
Thanks so much,
Kitti

Here's what worked: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330184
I followed the instructions above and once I finished, After re-booting, I selected Microsoft Windows XP Professional and the System Configuration Utility came up.
On the “General” tab, it shows that the Start Up Selection is on “Selective Startup” with everything checked, but what’s marked “Using Modified BOOT.INI
Tried to change it to “Normal Startup – load all device drivers and services” then re-start.
Windows came back up, but so did the System Configuration Utility and still showing that it was starting up with “Selective Startup”
Now just need to figure out how to start it up in “Normal”, if in fact that’s possible. Will keep you posted and if anyone has any further suggestions, that would be much appreciated.
I do hope this will help all the others that have run into the main issue, which I have found is caused by the Parallels Desktop by they way, not Microsoft, and that start having issues by getting the dreaded " hal.dll " file is missing or corrupt on a direct Boot to Windows.
Very long and sleepless night….

Thank you. Nick

Okay, we'll try the technique from the following post. Be sure to be logged in to your usual user account when doing so. (Otherwise you'll be editing the wrong set of HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys.)

Does that clear up the compatibility message?

USB 3.0 Hub won't work in 3.0 mode

I have a Portege Z835-P372 and my USB 3.0 Hub (StarTech 2 port hub) won't work in 3.0 mode.
When I purchased the StarTech.com hub, it came with no instructions or CD (with drivers, etc). Their website also has no driversor firmware updates for the hub (As I understand, the hub itself doesn't need any drivers).
When I connected it to my computer the first time it installed it as a Renesas Electronics 2.0 hub. It thus always works only in 2.0 mode.
As I understand I probably need the latest NEC/Renesas drivers and firmware updates, these I have downloaded from the Toshiba driver site, but still no luck.
I did some research and found that the drivers on the Toshiba site are old and there are newer ones out there (but from other sites that I had to register and pay for). Are they available elsewhere?
I did some more research into similar problems people are having out there and there were comments that the Intel USB 3.0 Driver also has to be updated.
Any suggestions?

hey RagingPigeon,
try uninstalling all USB control drivers from your unit and then install this :

X-Fi Mode Switcher won't work in XP non-admin accou

I have installed X-Fi extreme music on my WinXP SP2 machine. Both audio console and the graphical console launcher/mode-switcher won't work properly in non-admin accounts. It will be "stuck" in one mode and whatever I do, it refuses to change to another mode.
Both work fine when I use the admin account. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunatly Im a greedy cuss and won't share my computer with anyone so I'm running in more or less Admin 24/7 and not ran into the issue. I think there is a setting in XP that you can change that will allow non-admins to make changes to the system. You might check User settings for the account in the "User Accounts" in control panel. Will see if I can find some info on it for you but you can also check MS Knowledgebase.
