  • SBH52 don't make phone calls after the installation of Marshmallow

    Hello

    I upgraded my Z3C Marshmallow Android and since then, the SBH52 does not allow me to make phone calls from the call log.

    I had similar behavior original lollipop but discovered "Call Log Smart Extras" had to be installed and the problem solved.

    However, after upgrading to the marshmallow and noting that I couldn't dial from the SBH52, I uninstalled and reinstalled Smart Connect, SBH52 app and Call Log Smart Extras but everything remains the same. I also tried disconnection and reconnection of the headset to the phone, both via NFC and Bluetooth.

    The headset works. I can 'throw' music, audio, videos and maintain telephone conversations. I can also access the call log and read SMS.

    If I want to hang up, I can still do it by pressing the big round button on the front of the helmet, so my problem is not this one:

  • What happens when the error report are sent to Microsoft from my computer?

    I received a call from a Clayton asked for a Windows Service Center. He called about the error reports that were sent from my computer to Microsoft. He gave his phone number as 91 9008 37 23295 in Calcutta, India. If this has nothing to do with Microsoft or Windows?

    John is correct.  And to answer your direct question: "what happens when the error report are sent to Microsoft from my computer? -Not much.  If these reports are used at all, they are used for the statistical analysis and do not respond to individuals.

  • Error report followed closely by scam phone call.__04 June 2010

    Error followed by phone call report scam. (£79 for a new Microsoft license request). I'm in the United Kingdom.

    June 4, 2010

    I, also, have just received a phone call from scam shortly after the presentation of a microsoft error report. The appellant was Asian, as if the others were and he claimed he was from Microsoft. I had downloaded a rogue file that was causing my computer works more slowly and asked me to click on the Start button and open the "run" command, he said. He asked me to type "eventvwr", this brought an observer called window events. He asked me to click on the app and got my attention to the error and warning symbols in the open list. He then asked me to click on system and see the symbols contained in this list. He then said he would connect on a technician who would correct the mistakes on my computer but my license has expired and I had to buy another before PayPal mistakes could be corrected. He quoted £79 when asked. He would tell me how to send money via Paypal when I told him that I wasn't going to send money to anyone. I said, 'as far as I know, you could be a criminal trying to pull a scam. "Anyone can phone up and say these things."  Oops, I had caught. "YOU CALL ME A CRIMINAL. "Well WELL YOU GO COME AND PASS 200 lbs ON A TECHNINICIAN BLAH, BLAH RANT, rant", and then he slammed the phone down. There, he, he. ****.

  • Make/receive phone calls via the software modem?

    It is usually possible to make and receive calls through a PC modem such as the software modem for satellite P25 series?
    I need any additional software to do this? (this is not about VOIP).

    Hello

    I'm not sure what you mean exactly. You want to make a phone call over the internet?
    I put t know which device you have, but I think that it s must support a modem.
    You can use this modem to connect to the internet, but believe me; the modem connection is not very fast and the transfer of data has for a long time.

    I think the phone call over the internet is a very good idea but only if someone has a lump and a broadband connection.

    The iPad can't make a phone call because it is not a phone.  But there is a choice of applications such as Skype to make calls over the internet.  The SIM card in an iPad has data only.

If Yes, how should I call the reader? I'm programming in c#.

    Doug,

    No problem.  I found the class to which the timeout without much property in safely.  I now have a solution to repeated calls.  The two keys were the infinite time-out setting and the elimination of all the DAQmx objects in the finally section of the callback function before calling the AcquireData() method for the next cycle of reading and processing of data.  The user sets blQuit to false and call AcquireData() by clicking on the Start button.  Repeated calls are then made to 'automatically' until the user clicks the button exit.

    Thanks for your help,

  • When you use Igrabber, back on the error report. How can I fix it?

    To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
    application or computer (machine.config) must have the
    jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
    The application must also be compiled with debugging

    This is part of the error report.

    For example:
       

    When JIT debugging is enabled, an unhandled exception

  • BlackBerry smartphones spontaneously begins to make phone calls

    Yesterday my Blackberry started making phone calls to the last issue, I called.  I rebooted and it always does.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

    You may also use these tips:

    Of course, if the problem is something physical (for example, a key is stuck, something broken inside, etc.), then no amount of diagnosis distance internet or 'Patches' level OS/software will be of no use.

    Good luck and let us know!

    Eugen

    DJ, the version number is in the subject line: 5.7.1. It's weird because this version should support the D5300 very well. My main guess would be a bad player or a bad USB cable.

    Eugen, you can try plug the camera directly and download the images like this?
