Xbootmgr Gave up waiting for Win7RTM physical prefetcher after 300 seconds.

Hello,
I have a problem with slow boot on a Windows 7 x64.
It boots in 5 min.
I have discovered an error regarding ReadyBoot log size and maked it unlimited.
I've then installed Windows Performance Toolkit and attempted to do a prepSystem.
It failed with:
Waiting for prefetcher...
Gave up waiting for Win7RTM physical prefetcher after 300 seconds.
I've attempted to do a boot trace without prepSystem. It also failed.
After google search I've noticed a problem with many system restore points.
I've made a fresh system restore point and deleted the rest.
This caused trace1.fx file to appear in ReadyBoot directory.
I've also did a Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks which performed a defrag /B c: and caused Layout.ini to appear in Prefetch directory.
After all this xbootmgr -trace boot -numruns 6 -traceflags Diag+FileIO+ResidentSet+ReferenceSet -postBootDelay 300 -verboseReadyBoot worked without waiting for prefetcher error.
But xbootmgr -trace boot -prepSystem -verboseReadyBoot wiped Layout.ini and ReadyBoot directory and failed with waiting for prefetcher.
I've found KB2728738,KB2732673,KB2878378,KB2775511 fixes might apply to this but they were not fully tested by Microsoft and not released for Windows Update. Also I have only one restore point and did a sfc /scannow and boot trace without prepsystem works!
Do you have any suggestion what to try to make this work?
My HDDs speeds are cca. 100 MB/s serial and 50 MB/s random access.
I have avast antivirus, skype, adobe reader, flash player, google chrome, nvidia backend and raid service, matlab accelerator, a few apple tasks, and creative (soundblaster) tasks but they don't take too much to run.
5 min to boot are too long.
I've also accidentally discovered that scripts put in Startup folder for a user with common folders redirected to another drive don't get launched.

Lion doesn't wait for DHCPACK on wifi after resume?

I've been noticing this occasionally on my MBA, and just got asked about it by someone else who's also seeing it: when resuming Lion with a WiFi connection, sometimes it will bring the network up for a couple seconds, then drop for a bit with the WiFi icon showing it requesting an IP address, then come back. HardwareGrowler shows it initially coming up with the same address it had been using when suspended, then eventually getting a new address, which leads me to believe that Lion is speculatively bringing up the interface on the old address without waiting for a DHCPACK; if it gets DHCPNAK instead, it then has to take the interface back down and go through the usual DHCPREQUEST/DHCPOFFER dialog with the DHCP server.
Is there a way to make it wait until it has received a reliable address (either DHCPACK to the old lease or the full DHCP negotiation) before bringing the interface up, rather than having it "stutter" when the original lease isn't ACKed?
FWIW I have seen this with all versions of Lion. I don't recall seeing it with older versions.

NOTE: I did exactly what you want to do all the time, and it works very well. BUT I have set things up so that this works.
Do both WiFi and Ethernet get the same IP address from your router? If not, then your existing file sharing setup is already established over the IP address assocaited with WiFi and that is where your transfer is going to stay.
Again, if you are currently getting different IP addresses, then I see 2 approaches
a) If your router's DHCP server allows associating an IP address with either a system's MAC address (Media Access Control; looks like nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn), or by associating an IP address with the "DHCP Client ID" (See System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> TCP/IP -> DHCP -> DHCP Client ID), then configure your router so that both the WiFi and Ethernet are connections to the router are assigned the same IP address.
b) another approach is to change each Mac's network setup so that they used Fixed IP addresses when at home (you can create a new network location for home use). You would configure the WiFi and Ethernet interfaces so they have the same IP address (each Mac gets its own unique IP address, and if possible the address you assign should be outside the router's DHCP address range, so that the router does not assign a duplicate address).
If both interfaces have the same IP address, then when you plug in the Ethernet cable (assuming the interface order has Ethernet as higher than WiFi - which is the default)

I downloaded a toolbar expecting certain help, not seeing the help I wanted I uninstalled the prouduct, why would I still have the toolbar ready and waiting for me to use after i have uninstalled it

Dear Firefox
I have just sent mail to a friend and found that the HTML backgrooung file is inactive amongst mant others, am sure I used it just yesterday.
I tried to regain this file and I was directed to download the toolbar from BrotherSoft Extreme Community and did not see any direction to what I was loking for other than it piling my already weak XP PC with more toolbars, so I immeadiatly uninstalled it.
It's still here, so does this mean it has other guises for me to find.
Please help me with this.
Thank You

Here, let me explain the way you use the word "crap" in a sentence like this, especially when I'm asking for help from a total stranger such as yourself. It's rude, obviously I know now not to do something like download something like that to my computer. It's not the difficult to figure out, and obviously I'm suffering the consequences for it now. So are you planning on helping me? Or should I not reply to your next reply if it has the word "crap" in it? I'm sure this whole discussion board was created to be used in a professional way, which is how I would like to keep my responses.

Waiting for Activation message appears after restoring iPhone.

Hello!
I recently restored my iPhone and now it will not connect to any network towers. It keeps saying that I have no service when I usually always do. And it only allows me to connect to wifi. Any suggestions on what to do?

Jenger, thank you so much for trying that out for us. This does seem a little odd to me. I would love to make sure we get you up and running with no issues. Do you have the most current iTunes downloaded on the computer? What I would try to do is try to place the phone into recovery mode through iTunes. The way you can complete this is by powering the phone off all the way. Have the USB plugged into the computer. Plug the device into the USB charger while you are pressing and holding the home button. Keep that home button held down until it pops up on iTunes that "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". then you will press on Ok, and then Tap on Restore iPhone, then select "Restore and Update" Please keep us posted.

Waiting for activation have not found a way to fix this

Ok so I'm overseas and I cannot use cellular data because I don't want to get billed a crazy amount however when using wifi the first week I was here I was able to text and face time with no problem. Then we went for a week to the country with no solid internet connection however we set up a very weak hotspot using a tablet, that's when I noticed I wasn't able to text and I saw the message waiting for activation since it took around 5 mins to load a web page I figured it was just a problem with the internet and I ignored it. Now we are back in the city (where we were when it worked fine the first week) and I still have the same problem, I have read countless articles about how to fix this and nothing seems to work the only option I haven't tried is to wipe the phone and restore it with a backup however i can't do that since I am no where near my computer. So is there any one else having the same waiting for activation problem as me? Is there anything I can do, any help would be much appreciated.

Hello there, Captnpnut.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, in-depth and practical steps for troubleshooting the "Waiting for Activation" message:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
Particularly relevant for your issue:
If you see "Waiting for Activation", "Activation unsuccessful", or "An error occurred during activation"
These messages occur when your iPhone is trying to activate your phone number with iMessage or FaceTime.
To resolve these status messages, follow these steps. After each step, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Make sure that you have a cellular network connection with your cellular provider. You need a cellular network connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
Go to www.apple.com in Safari to make sure that you have a data connection. You need a data connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. You need a valid SMS messaging plan to activate FaceTime and iMessage.
Make sure that FaceTime hasn't been restricted: tap Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
Set iPhone to the correct time zone: tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: If Set Automatically is on but the incorrect time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Contact your carrier to verify that there are no restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messages. Restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messaging will prevent iMessage and FaceTime registration from completing.
If "Waiting for Activation" still appears after you perform these steps, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime. You may need to wait up to 24 hours to complete activation. Most attempts will take less than an hour, but some attempts may take up to 24 hours. If your issue isn't resolved after 24 hours, please contact Apple for assistance. If you've recently performed a remote wipe on your iPhone, wait 24 hours from the time you performed the remote wipe, and then turn iMessage off then back on.You can still activate iMessage and FaceTime with your Apple ID when these status messages appear. You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by tapping:
Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Wait for Event Step (Urgent).

Hi, all!
I m unable to successfully execute my WAIT FOR EVENT step in my Workflow.
Scenario:
Have my own customised screen for HR approval process. In the second step after displaying to the approver when he actually presses on the APPROVE button my APPROVED event for the same object is triggered. Now I m waiting for this event im my workflow. Done the WAIT FOR EVENT in the WF .ie. from WF container selected the BOR and assigned the APPROVED event in the WAIT FOR EVENT step.
Problem:
My WF is unable to catch the event .ie. even in SWEL, "NO RECEIVER FOUND".
Thanks and Regards,
Sudipto

Hi!
Thanks.
Actually I m facing a peculiar porblem...
Scenario: My WF has 3 steps.
1)The user fills in the initial screen.
2)Then it goes to the second person who adds comments and approves it.
3)This triggers the APPROVE event for the same OBJECT.
For which my WF has the WAIT FOR EVENT. After which there is just this SEND MAIL task
Problem:
My WF when executed by itself actually performs perfectly and the SEND MAIL is actually executed.
But when it is initiated from my ABAP prog...It goes to the next level user in line, where he adds his comments n then it goes to my WAIT FOR EVENT but my SEND MAIL is not executed.
As the 2nd step of display is done with the object key hence there shud not be any value passing prob from my prog.
I cannot understand the prob.....
Regards,
Sudipto

Was stuck on "Waiting For iPhone." Now it won't respond to the charge chord

My phone has been giving me a lot of trouble today and I've been looking all over for tips and tricks, but so far, nothing has helped.
It's an iPhone 4. One of my apps was being glitchy after a recent update, so I decided to delete it and reinstall it. When that didn't solve the issue, I decided to shut my phone off and turn it on again to see if it made a difference. Since then, it's been stuck in a loop. At first, it was stuck on the Apple logo. I managed to get it into recovery mode and connected it to iTunes, but only got as far as the "Waiting For iPhone" message.
After several attempts to get it to recover, it no longer responds to the charge chord. Pressing and holding the top and home buttons only gives me the Connect To iTunes image and when I reconnect it to my computer, ... nothing.
What should I do? Is my phone lost for good? If I take it to the Apple Store in another city, is there anything they can do, or am I out of luck because I'm out of warranty?

The message that you're getting about the USB port is Windows rather than the Shuffle, ignore this as it will all work anyway.
How were you formatting the iPod shuffle? Using Windows? If this is the case I'd assume that was probably a bad choice that Windows asked you to make.
In any case I would download the latest iPod updater from http://www.apple.com/uk/ipod/download/ - open this and then plug your iPod into your computer - update the firmware and then everything hopefully should be sorted

Wait For A Button Press

Hey, I am currently creating a game and need to know how to wait for a certain button to be pressed. A popup message comes up that tells the user to press a button, then I need to wait for the button to be pressed. Then once the button is pressed, I want another message to come up. The problem is, I have no idea how to wait for a button press after the first message comes up. Instead it just displays the first message, then the second directly after.
Thanks

So you have a button that is always present. Normally clicking the button does nothing. But sometimes a message shows up, in which case if the user clicks the button, something happens. Right?
UI principles aside (it's bad form to display a button that does nothing), this is pretty simple.
Create a field to track whether the button does anything. For example:
private boolean buttonActive = false;In your action listener for that button, first check the value:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (buttonActive) {
// do your thing
}If the buttonActive is true, it does something, otherwise it does nothing.
After you display the message, set buttonActive to true. When you want the button to become a brick again, set it to false.

Officejet pro 8600 waiting for job to complete on Mac

Hi
I have the problem where after printing the I get the message "waiting for job to complete" which never goes away by itself. I can manually delete the item and then continue to print repeating the process every time I need to pringt.
I have read the forums and found similar issues but not exactly the same and the recommendation for that was to reset the print system and resinstall. I did that but the problem persists.
Printer: Officejet pro 8600 Plus
OS: OSX 10.9.3
Connection: Wireless and USB (same issue with both)
When I initially installed the printer it worked fine. When I upgraded to 10.9 it worked fine but the problem arose soon after.
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Welcome to the forums MedlandLime,
I understand you are seeing a message saying "waiting for job to complete" after you print and the message will not dissipate. I saw that you have reset the print system and reinstalled and the message continues. I have some more ideas that might help.
First of all, test the printer hardware itself and make a couple of copies. If the copies work fine, the printer is okay!
Next, try updating the printers Firmware through the front panel: Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
If the issue still persists, follow these steps in order:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the computer
Re-add the printer and ensure it's the HP driver and not the AirPrint driver: HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Driver- OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Please let me know the results!
Have a great Monday

Really poor customer service - still waiting for B...

Just a quick post to see if a moderator could help me…or as a last attempt for BT to at least acknowledge my recent complaint (or apologize).
I’d be interested to hear if other users have had similar problems (to any one of mine as it crosses different forum topics)…
I’d like to think I’m writing as an objective and reasonable customer and a loyal customer at that. Suffice it to say, in this competitive marketplace, I’ve not been impressed with BT in the last 3 months.
My automated email complaints response is 110110-007990 (if that helps).
Given my numerous attempts to make contact with the BT customer services team; I am doubtful that I shall receive the courtesy of a reply. I do not intend to repeat my complaint in detail here but in a nutshell, following the home move team promising various things such as:
1) a waiver of the line installation charge if I continue a full service package (which I gather is £127.99 for flicking a switch at the exchange);
2) a reduction in my billing generally (as I was “out of contract” for around 6 months so I was paying a DD around £65 p.m for line rental, basic phone, Broadband opt 2 and basic BT vision);
3) an expedited home move switchover within days (not weeks).
However, none of this happened and like many recent posts my billing has gone crazy. To cut a long story short BT have renegaded on all the promises made and the switchover service has been, at best, terrible.
1) I was in fact billed for an install plus delivery charges (£8.98) for a superfluous BT home hub and BT vision box (which never turned up).
2) My bills (and DD) have risen to a level which I simply cannot fathom as the BT invoicing system requires a degree in accounting to understand.
3) And after ordering on the 3rd December, I’m still waiting for my broadband activation after the phone line was only activated late last week. (To add insult I was told that an engineer would call (so took a day off to also receive the broadband kit) and allow access if required but it was cancelled and rescheduled twice). Now hoping for the 18th Jan – 37 days after ordering – woohoo.
I’m now seriously thinking of leaving …. There’s no incentive for me to stay now I’ve been charged and that charges have increased beyond the VAT increase. I suppose one customer like me will not make a difference to the BT annual report, but if my experience is typical of how customers are treated; if I were a BT shareholder I would be worried.

Cheers. for the first 6 months it was a locked ip profile, always reset after phoning bangalor and speaking to the "have you reset your router" robots. for a few hours or a day or more, I'd get 2-3mbps then crash, back down to 135kbps. The mods here (after first banning me for reposting what they had mailed me) were quite helpful, I think they were/are frustrated that there is little they can do for genuine line quality problems, the ones that will cost money/time/effort to sort. Actually time and effort didnt seem to be a problem, I had no end of openreach blokes come to the house, sometimes 2 came at once, all with the same stories of woe, trackers in their vans, being sent out on useless jobs they had already reported were down to line faults/quality but being sent out again and again. And not just to me, I had the same guy just a couple of times but all were routinely demoralised with some kind of deep routed hatred for their managers that due to the trackers were now able to see where they were at any time.
bonkers mate, like I care what they think of their manager. at first when i mentioned the problem with using the broadband and phone together, there seemed to be some interest but when the problem was confirmed, the umbrellas came up, broadband said it was the lline, the line people said it was the broadband. line people also said when they test, the bb will be unplugged and if there is no fault, i will have to pay 130-ish quid. thing is the phone works ok without the bb plugged in. i tried everything, new adsl socket, standing on one leg, the lot. then got a capped 500kbps rate for option2. at least then i didnt get back to 135kbps everyday.
i signed a new contract in november, god knows why, Im now buying myself out of it.
there's one born everyday eh?
if bt were really interested in helping they would send out a smart person that would try and figure out why my neighbour gets 3mbps and i get 500kbps at a capped rate and 135kbps at the adaptive rate technology has done its business on my connection. I've had 3 routers sent to me, Ive bought a netgear all were no help. Its the line bt!!!! somewhere there is a fault. yes im far from the exchange, so is the guy next door!

Waiting for Activation i have an iphone 3g. iphone is from my old contract and i have given it to my girlfriend. she then went to the O2 store and they gave her a new sim card which is compatable with iphone 3g. O2 have told me the phone is not blocked.

" fault code,,,,,waiting for activation, this may take some time,,,,," O2 gave my gf the contract and the new sim card to go into my old iphone 3g which was with O2 previous, O2 have assured us that the phone's imei number is not blocked, they have also said the sim is activated and there is no reason why the phone should not work. the phone is out of date warranty. the sim card does work in other handsets, also my sim from my iphone 3gs does not work in the iphone 3g. i have spent hours litterally on the phone to O2 and now to apple, but because i am out of warranty apple want £25 just to even listen to me over the phone. someone please help me. i am getting very frustrated for hopefully what might be an easy fix for someone. i have done all the resets that are possibly humainly possible, i have done all the resores you can do, have sync'd on many occasions all to come up with the same fault. i am still getting O2 in the top left corner but with no bars and when trying to call it fails imediately. wifi is fine, it works as an ipod.

ONLY AT&T can legally/legitimately unlock it. No one else at all.

To wait or not to wait for BB10 device with physical keyboard

DVR Problem w/QIP7232P2 DVR Operation; HOW Long will I have to wait for 1.9.1?

THE SHORT PROBLEM:
1) DVR records only a few moments of pre-scheduled events then the recording stops with only 10 to 30 seconds stored content and this is reported in the on screen detail.
2) DVR records a full 1 hour show however, after 20 or so minuets of playback, use of the fast forward, skip (to get around a commercial) or pause DVR functions will cause the playback to jump to the end and you can't see the rest of the story. One must start the show over again, view stuff you have seen before to get to where the error happen. If you fast forward too close to the point of the error, you will get dumped out of the show all over again. Once you get close you just have to watch commercials and what you have seen before and then not use any DVR functions in order to watch the rest of the show.
3) DVR records a full 1 hour show, you fast forward to a time that is say 50% into the show, the progress bar will move forward like normal to show you get close to the point of you stopped watching the show before (to help solve problem #2 above) BUT, if you go too far, the progress bar will jump back to the start of the show and you may be dumped out of the program or it may continue to move forward. However the operation of the progress bar is not right.
This would render the DVR less then useful. Verizon has replaced my STB and talked me through the reset of AC power operation that is the normal fix for most STB issues. I'm told this will require a software upgrade from 1.9 to 1.9.1. OK, GET IT DONE and CREDIT USERS OF DVRs THE FEE PAID FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WORKING.
THE LONG STORY WITH DETAILS:
All seemed to be well with the unit for a few months and the upgrade to the new 1.9 software looked like it went off without a hitch.
But.....Starting on around 12/17/11 I noticed that my DVR was recording only about 10 to 30 seconds of programming during scheduled events. Sometimes it would attempt to record the same event one or two times, each only lasting a few moments. I called Verizon customer service I think on 12/20/11 and they asked me to pull the 120 volt power and then re-apply power. This helped the problem but, remote testing seemed to show an issue and the customer rep decided a replacement unit was needed and Order No. MDDQ08V49U was created and another set-top box was shipped to me.
It is too bad that the technology has been developed to allow the external storage of digital content however, one can't back the 200 plus hours of video one may have stored on a set-top box and restore it on a new unit. It is also not possible to reproduce the vast extent of scheduling of events. No, it seems when you change out a set top box, all the programming is gone and you have to spend an afternoon coping down the schedule from the Series Manager and then re-enter all new events by making new recording events; a very time consuming operation.
So it is frustrating once after this afternoon is wasted reprogramming a new set-top is all done with the new set-top box installed, I find that on 1/5/12 when viewing recorded programming that should be one hour long, I only seem to get 22 minutes of playback. I try to look at this in detail and see that the first 22 minutes indeed play back in a normal manor. One is able to use the jump forward mode to skip over a commercial and all is good. If after 22 minutes you don't do anything, playback will continue to the end of the 1 hour. BUT, if after the first 22 minutes you try the skip or pause function, the program will jump to the end screen where you are given the option to: Program Options Page were you can select Play, Save until I delete, or Delete.
On 1/4/12 I called Tech Support and asked what to do about this 2nd box having yet another DVR problem. Once again I was asked to cycle the 120 volt AC power and disconnect and reconnect the coax "because electricity can build up in the set-top box". (I thought that was a cute reason). I asked the Customer Service rep if this was a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Troubleshooting method and she told me she was not authorized to tell me.
1/5/12 a Manager calls me back to follow up on a survey from the December service call and after seeing that I had a trouble ticket on 1/4 to see what is going on. He attempts to talk me into getting the on screen diagnostic screen to come up (press a mix of power and OK) but that just does not work like the old set-top box. We review the problem and he is not sure what else to do then send a Tech to the house to review the problems. He did tell me the STB I had in December WAS a known bad number; something about an issue with ribbon cable fault going to the hard drive. Well OK, but it seems ODD that the two like problems seem to happen to a known bad box and now to a new box that is not in the "bad" lot of numbers. This new STB also had been running 1.9 like the old STB for some number of weeks/months without issue then BANG, a problem pops up! It seems like this is a deeper problem but I trust with all the fact Verizon can find the right answer.
1/6/12 Aaron Phelps, Cable Splicing Technician comes to look at the problem. Nice guy! I show him the two recorded shows that have the problem. He can't get the on-screen diagnostic up but we use the test via the Main Menu and all readings seem OK. He also tests signals via an external meter with good results.
At last, he calls Tier 2 Tech support and I'm told by him that it seems some bug is in ver 1.9 and we will have to wait a month for a 1.9.1 to come out that should address a memory issue in the DVR. I don't know is this is the real story but Aaron tells me the ONLY fix they have is to swap out STB and he has no other 7232 units so... I'd have to go back to a smaller hard-drive or wait a month to see what happens.
To say again, it is a problem when the only answer in practice is to reboot the STB or replace it and this does not solve the problem. The field Techs don't know about a software bug less they call tier 2 support. Also, as it is so common to just replace the STB, the process may take only a moment in physical action to swap wires HOWEVER, it is an afternoon to get programming done so a new DVR is recording all the shows a Customer has established; on top of the time talking to phone Tech support and waiting for someone to show up to the home, that is a considerable investment in Consumer time. If you can't back up the content with the local drive due to copyright issues how about a cloud approach? I'd encourage a known bug to be resolved quickly and perhaps solve the manor that a STB is backed-up and replaced.
I learn on 1/6/12 my friend had like problems:
xxxxxx address blocked
Claire had the added problem that a pre set event she set to record change by an hour. I've not seen this but, I see in the Forum URL below, another person had the same problem as reported by "DC-Videophile" on 01-01-12 at 08:33 PM. On this same forum "rich3fan" reports problems that I have on 01-04-12 11:54 AM. The very bad news would seem from "markjrenna" 01-04-12 09:29 PM where it is suggested that 1.9.1 will not be out before 1Q12!!!! That is a long time to have this problem.

I notice with this event, when you hit fast forward, the progress bar moves forward with time then at a point it goes back to the start point, even when good video is playing in fast forward. This program worked beyond 22 min then failed at maybe 38 min. When I tried again, it failed at another point earlier (maybe 15 min) so it does not have a pattern.

and a lot more.........

I am having the same problems. My guess is that a lot of people are having the same problems and just living with it. Those of us who know where to go on the Internet come here to find a fix.
It seems Verizon has some explaining to do. Maybe they should try Beta testing new software a little better. I would rather have to wait longer for something that works. I am sure that some manager or director said this is close enough, deploy it and we will see what happens. Well, you are seeing the problems. Time to fix your mistake.
All of us are telling our friends about the problems. The longer this goes on, the more people we will tell about it.
Wouldn't you rather us be telling our friends that their is an error in the new interface and that you are working hard to fix it?
If you want to be up front about this, then just tell us. We are adults and can handle it. If you made a mistake, own up to it and give us some credit for doing your Beta testing in the field.
Customer Service is all about telling the truth and if you made a mistake, admit it and lets move on with a fix. I do not want to be told again that I should be able to unplug it, power cycle it, try the on-board diagnostics, etc., etc.......
I am going to be repsonding on a daily basis to keep this topic at the top of the list.
Time to come clean. You will feel better Verizon.
Let's talk tomorrow.
