• Droid 3 soak test

  I have a question as to HOW I'm supposed to know if I got an update for you? There was mention and an investigation with regard to participation, including a party who asked if I wanted one-root the phone. I am currently waiting to receive confirmation or a mention of what Motorola.

  Basically, how can I know that my phone works indeed the test software? I've have no and put my phone in stock only to drive me crazy with the HORRIBLE version that Verizon had screwed up. Farm power, battery problems, and how SLOW it is to recover from a closure program become very tax and your time and duty keep a chqrger nearby is ridiculous. So much for the wireless? Oh, and if the same material is shared by at least 5 phones why delayed the updates? just curious.

  Thank you

  Brian

  Brian-

  Soak tests are confidential, including communications. In addition, they have fluid departures. Get an invitation does not guarantee that you are included. We also try to give notice to those who are selected so that they can return to stock beforehand. So, if you have been selected you would receive communications from our share sorry that you jumped the gun.

• Question about "Windows 8.1 DG to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit" and Windows product key

  I have acquired a recnet ThinkPad T450 fdrom a retialer online (NCIX) and I hav ea a few questions about the installed Windows operating system.

  Before I just go further, HRE are some information about my particular system.

  Lenovo ThinkPad T450

  Model: 20BV00BUS

  CPU: Intel Core i5-4300U

  RAM: 4 GB

  Under the product description, it was stated "Windows 8.1 DG Windows 7 Pro 64." My understnading, the ThiknPad has been installed with Windows 8.1, but downgraded to Windows 7. There is also a Windows 8 Pro badge sticker at the bottom of the matchine.

  Is it possible, at the end of the user/consumer, to alter the functioning ti repressive back Windows 8.1?

  Can I create a recovery with Windows 8.1 disk?

  A separate but related matter relates to the Windows product key.

  I noticed the Ultrabook do not come with a sticker / label with the Windows product key (i.e. COST). Some quick research indicated that the Windows key is programmed into the BIOS.

  This indeed true (I wish an audit)?

  The key is visible in some way (for when you need to reinstall the operating system. I have not tried to enter the BIOS at the moment)?

  Thank you for taking the time to consider my question.

  Kind regards

  Victor L.

  Hi Victor,

  I'm in the same boat as you type, but want to keep the facilities of Windows 7 rather than pass them to 8. Just like you, I buy our Lenovo from different retailers and they come with windows 7 installed through the Windows 8 lower upgrade program.

  We had one or two laptops come with a recovery media (for windows 8/8.1 only) but have noticed that all laptops now come with no physical media or codes for the recovery. WIN8 stickers, you described is more came with the license key on the sticker (it comes to stop you using the same license again and again, microsoft will get more money if you buy another license etc.). I also saw that the key is essentially located in the BIOS but were not able to test what we use any of windows 8. I use it even at home!

  To answer your question, you can get a recovery of Lenovo for Windows 8 media!

  Go to the following link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/lenovorecovery

  (It help you understand why this method is used on this page as well)

  Select Start,

  Please have your serial number of your laptop, (to find it go to this link: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/find-product-name)

  If you qualify (which you will very probably) Lenovo will ship for free, recovery disks give it a go, took me 2 minutes.

  I hope this helps.

  Best regards, Max.

• Question about support for LabVIEW DLLS and Unicode

  Hello

  I have a question about LabVIEW and DLL functions calls.

  I use a DLL (sorry, I can't share it) that was written in C. It was written to support Unicode and non-Unicode function calls.

  The Unicode function is valid, then FunctionNameW is called if FunctionNameA is called.

  I am building a few VI to access the library. I have the regular functions of FunctionNameA work.

  My question is, does LabVIEW support versions of function FunctionNameW Unicode, and if so is it necessary Although LabVIEW is already working with the standard function call?

  Am I being redundant or what should I build in Unicode support?

  The first time I tried to test the Unicode functions, I had an error, and I guess this is a system setting.

  Thank you for your time in advance.

  DB_IQ wrote:

  I don't think I have TO implement the Unicode, but I want if I can.

  For what I do, I think almost it is not serious. But I wanted to know if it could be used.

  The short answer is "Yes, you can do it."  However, it may open a new Pandora's box.  If you're not careful, problems and complications that can still spread to other projects that are not using Unicode!  It is better not to summon this monster unless there is absolutely no other way to do the job.

• (Two copies) Soak Test

  What should I do to get test impregnation on my XT1033, I registered on the Motorola feedback network, but still no Motorola upgrade notification and I would ask if anyone has received try impregnation or official update say please?

  There are several messages on this page about soaking. Users are not allowed to disclose information about soaking. If you have registered for the MFN does not mean that you will surely get soaking. Wait for the invitation and if you get no it don't worry the official OTA will publish not much later than soaking. Hope I solved your problem.

• Members 'soak test.

  I often hear a trial impregnation and its members are the first to get Gingerbread tonight. Which is exactly in the impregnation and test what is / are the requirements to get in it?

  You must be a member of the Motorola feedback network. You can learn more on this topic and find a link to sign up for it here. The only requirement that I know is that you have a Motorola phone, with the service and are willing to participate. Check it out if your interested. I hope this helps.

• A few questions about my new Z5 Compact camera

  A few days ago I bought the Xperia Z5 Compact (and updated the marshmallow) to replace my Z1 Compact and meanwhile read the manual and looked into the camera settings. Now I have 2 questions about the camera.

  (1) according to this manual, it takes an option to 'adjust the color and brightness manually. I rember having seen this option once in the form of 2 sliders, but now I cannot reproduce it more and find more options in the settings. What should I do wrong or overlooking?

  (2) I noticed that I can manually put only iso for resolution of 8 MP or less. When I put a 20 MP resolution, the iso setting is grayed and automatically the value. Is this a normal behavior?

  Thanks in advance for the answers.

  Hi @Rijnton,

  I just tested this on my Xperia X but it runs on Android M, it should be similar to the Z5 Compact (although there may be some differences).

  Color and brightness options may not be available in manual mode, but are for higher Auto and video.

  

  

• Technical questions about X 1 carbon Touch base

  Please forgive me, I'm still recovering after the shock and frustration generated by dealing with Lenovo Tech Support.

  I recently received my X 1 carbon Touch and I have tried to understand some - I think - fundamental questions.

  As you know, to win 8, Lenovo doesn't have a custom recovery solution / owner. However, there are a score of Lenovo recovery on the machine. I'm /assuming/ this, somehow, can be used through the default / built-in mechanisms of recovery Windows, but I want to know exactly how without necessarily experiencing myself with it.

  In addition, the computer seems to be equipped with a mechanism of alternative stand-by, fast recovery called Intel or something like that. It is enabled in the BIOS and apparently makes use of a hidden partition of ~ 8 GB on the SSD. However, I find no indication of this mechanism working. There are no settings that I could find in Windows. I changed the BIOS to 'Immediately' setting in order to test the functionality, but put the computer to sleep does not seem to generate behavior that is somehow different from regular sleep.

  In any case, I would like advice or information on my questions above. I understand works the thing of recovery fast in order to decide if I want to recover the partition or not. I would also like to know my options I should never need re - install the delivered factory OS without actually crossed the steps. I would also if someone could tell me the best way to get support from Lenovo.

  / * I called Lenovo technical support with these issues. The person sponsor and those to whom I then was sent to had no idea what I was talking about. They had difficulty understanding terms like partition, standby, sleep, resume, and even software/hardware and implementation. It was suggested that my computer may be Intel and Lenovo not... They seemed to really come from an age of the computer. I asked to speak with someone who would have some basics of the machine that Lenovo delivered to me. I find it reasonable. At that time, I was told to talk to a knowledgeable person, I have to pay a fee. Seriously?

  elfstone,

  To find out how to work the various Windows recovery methods, please see this Microsoft Web site:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-PC

  The sole purpose of the recovery partition is to work with the "All delete and reinstall Windows" function of Windows 8.  If you have specific questions about the factory recovery that you can't get items from Microsoft, let me know.

  Regarding the plan of hibernation from Intel, as you noted, it takes a partition dedicated to your SSD which cannot be used for other purposes.  The only parameter in Windows is inside the application of arrangements of Lenovo in the power section.  Lenovo calls this function "in waiting for 30 days.  The only thing you can do is it turn on or off.  Here's how works "waiting for 30 days:

  1. When you close the lid, or otherwise put the system into standby mode, the system of standby for 3 hours.

  03:02 hours, the system will wake up and check things like not attached AC, wake-on-LAN not activated, USB device not attached, etc..  If conditions permit, the system will enter wakefulness of 30 days for example deep sleep.  If the system returns in normal mode to 'sleep'.

  3. deep sleep means that the content of the memory is written on the special hibernation on the SSD partition.  It is very similar to the traditional hibernation except what happens faster using methods of BIOS instead of Windows methods.  But this isn't anywhere near as fast as normal sleep/recovery.

  4. the system out of deep sleep when the cover is opened or when you press the power button.

  You have found the BIOS settings, but in fact they are ignored when Lenovo settings (and package of dependence of the Lenovo parameters) are installed on the system.  I don't really know why this design choice has been made.

  Personally, I don't see value in 30 days standby, not enough value to want to give up my expensive SSD 8 GB.  I exclusively use sleep/recovery.  The battery will last several days.  And if I'm going to be away from the computer for a long time, then I'll just stop it.

• Questions about discussions...

  Hello

  I have a new app to do that requires network access.

  I have read this EXCELLENT post from peter_strange:

  http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Java-development/connecting-your-BlackBerry-http-and-socket-c...

  Because I can't use BIS - B because I'm not a partner of the Alliance, I wanted to take a look at the new OS 5.0 network API and see how it works.

  I know that network connections should be performed in a separate thread.

  I'm far from being an experienced Blackberry developer... so I have a few questions about discussions.  I looked around the Internet, read on the forum, read the documentation, did some tests and so far, I came up with this code:

  SerializableAttribute public class HTTPConnection extends UiApplication {}
  Public Shared Sub main (String [] args) {}
  HTTPConnection PAP = new HTTPConnection();
  theApp.enterEventDispatcher ();
  }

  public HTTPConnection() {}
  pushScreen (new HTTPConnectionScreen());
  }
  }

  class HTTPConnectionScreen extends form {}
  public HTTPConnectionScreen() {}
  setTitle ("HTTPConnection");
  Add (new RichTextField ("choose a type of connection :"));

  final RadioButtonGroup = new RadioButtonGroup() rbGroup;
  RadioButtonField radioButtonF1 = new RadioButtonField ("Direct TCP", rbGroup, false);
  RadioButtonField radioButtonF2 = new RadioButtonField ("WAP 1.0/1.1", rbGroup, false);
  RadioButtonField radioButtonF3 = new RadioButtonField ("WAP 2.0", rbGroup, false);
  RadioButtonField radioButtonF4 is new RadioButtonField ("BES/MDS", rbGroup, false);.
  RadioButtonField radioButtonF5 = new RadioButtonField ("BIS-B", rbGroup, false);
  RadioButtonField radioButtonF6 = new RadioButtonField ("WiFi", rbGroup, false);
  Add (radioButtonF1); Add (radioButtonF2); Add (radioButtonF3); Add (radioButtonF4); Add (radioButtonF5); Add (radioButtonF6);
           
  FieldChangeListener listener = new FieldChangeListener() {}
  ' Public Sub fieldChanged (field field, int context) {}
  ConnectionThread ct = new ConnectionThread (rbGroup.getSelectedIndex () + 1);
  CT. Start();
  }
  };
           
  ButtonField buttonField = new ButtonField ("Connect", ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK);
  buttonField.setChangeListener (listener);
  Add (buttonField);
  }

  / * method of onSavePrompt override default to avoid being asked if I want to record every time * /.
  protected boolean onSavePrompt() {}
  Returns true;
  }
  }

  class ConnectionThread extends Thread {}
  private int transportType;
  public ConnectionThread (int n) {}
  transportType = tt;
  }
      
  public void run() {}
  ConnectionFactory connFact = new ConnectionFactory();
  ConnectionDescriptor connDesc = connFact.getConnection ("URL", transportType, null);
  If (connDesc! = null) {}
  try {}
  HttpConnection httpConn = (HttpConnection) connDesc.getConnection ();
  httpConn.setRequestMethod (HttpConnection.POST);
  httpConn.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type", "application/x-www-formulaires-urlencoded");
  OutputStream out = httpConn.openOutputStream ();
  out. Write (Integer.ToString (transportType). GetBytes());
  int responseCode = httpConn.getResponseCode ();
  If (responseCode == HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {}
  UiApplication.getUiApplication () .invokeLater (new Runnable() {}
  public void run() {}
  Dialog.Alert ("- SUCCESSFUL CONNECTION-");
  }
  });
  }
  If (httpConn! = null) httpConn.close ();
  } catch (IOException e) {}
  System.Err.println ("IOException Caught:" + e.getMessage ());
  }
  }
  }
  }

  In fact, this code works very well... but I want to improve it, and I have a few questions:

  1. I think that right now, every time I click on the 'Connect' button, I start a new thread. I would like to end this thread in the "run" method, but I don't really know how to access the variable 'ct' from there.   Counsel on how to do it?  Or maybe always use the same thread until my application is closed?

  2. in the FieldChangeListener of my "Submit" button, I want to access the value of radio box.  I did work, but I had to do my 'final' variable  What is the right way to do it?

  3 - to display a dialog box with 'Successful connection', I just wanted to write something in my main screen.  How I do that?

  I'm just a bit confused as to just what set up when you use a separate thread.

  Thanks for your advice!

  Edit: Hidden URL I connect to...

  That's what I call a good question! (now I'm wondering why the forums do not work with opera correctly, in any case, here my baldy to the answer format): 1. your thread "dies" when it's over, no need to close it. 2 Yes 3. You can use a reminder. See for example http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip10.html

• Questions about using HomeScreen.setBackgroundImage, please!

  I am currently make an app when a user presses a button, should change the wallpaper on the homescreen to an image of my application. I know that I need to use HomeScreen.setBackgroundImage (String URL) for this, but I have some questions about its use, that I have not found on the forums of the knowledge base.

  (1) I use PNG images, I realized I may have to change them into JPG, is this true? If it is true, can I just use PNG images in the first place, as in, use them in my application and also as the wallpaper?

  (2) how can I find the URL of the chain of my images, I store them in the folder resource in Eclipse. The URL will be the same for the simulator tests as it will be for the device?

  (3) what I need to make the images of persistent to keep them as a background image or the api will do that automatically whenever I create a new wallpaper?

  I hope that these are simple answers for you pro out there, thanks in advance!

• Question about compression in essbase ASO

  I have a few questions about to define a dimension of compression in Essbase ASO apps:-

  1. is it a good idea to have the size of compressor in app Essbase ASO.

  2. I read somewhere that said it would not be good idea to have the compression period dimension where months YTD neighbourhoods and quarters of the year. So should we put compression on any other dimension dynamic calc and roll ups and have less none of level 0 members stored.

  3. I have observed that when we level 0 export from an ASO application with compressed size vs ASO application with no compressed dimension, there is a difference in size of data export file. I'm not able to understand why it is so. I understand the difference between the size of data (.dat file) between Tablet app vs app uncompressed file, but do not understand the difference when the data is exported to a .txt file.

  Thank you

  (1) compression dimension is not mandatory, but it contributes to the performance. The compression dimension is a dynamic dimension. We need the column headers in a data load file. Ideal compression is achieved if the number of leaf-level members are divisible by 16.

  (2) ASO tuning is an art as much as a science.  The best choice depends on the distribution of data in the database.  and it's different in each database.  Read all the information and then test the various options.  Try it with time as the compression and then try with the next best dynamic dimension defined as dimension of compression.  I've linked a doc tuning which is version 7, but has a very detailed discussion of the dimensions of compression.

  http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-Foundation/4822-tuning-Essbase-ASO-WP-133014.PDF

  (3) the format of the header (layout) of the export may be different when you use compression vs when you are not using compression.  It will certainly be different if you use another dimension for compression.  I expect the size of the file to edit when the compression setting is changed.

• Question about installing standalone Agent in patched environment

  Hi all

  I have a question about the installation of an autonomous Agent of ODI, some information on the situation: I have Studio ODI 11.1.1.7.0 installed and configured. Everything worked fine until we have improved our environment from planning to 11.1.2.3.500 patch.  We had to apply the patch 18687916 for ODI solve some problems, but everything worked well again after that.  Now I need to install an autonomous agent to run scenarios in a batch, the agent will be on the same server as the ODI studio.  My question is can I run the installer and only select the autonomous agent then reapply the patch 18687916 or do I need to get out the patch 18687916 first, or something totally different? 

  Hello

  I think you should restore the 18687916 patch and then install the standalone agent, then patch 18687916 it.

  But wait answer of the guru.

  In my case, I did the thing above, and it works very well if it was my test environment.

  Thank you

• Questions about a relationship between InDesign and S1000D specification

  Hi I have a few questions about a relationship between InDesign and S1000D specification. First, InDesign does not meet an S1000D standard? If so, what questions are supported in InDesign as "S1000D issue 4.1'?." In addition, inflicts InDesign interconnected with CSDB through any creative or other module. I'm looking forward to get useful answers and thank you in advance.

  I agree with the screen name of Test in this regard. Technical publications represent only a small percentage of the market of InDesign. And it is likely that the authors of these publications InDesign may not have heard of the S1000D specification.

• A question about external authentication with PHP OCI8 using a portfolio store

  Hello
  

  SQL> SELECT * FROM v$version;
  
  BANNER

  Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
  PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production

  SQL> 

  OS: Linux Fedora Core 17 (x86_64)
  PHP Version: 5.4.14
  Apache version (httpd): Apache/2.2.23 (Fedora) 

  I have a question about OCI8 connection to the Oracle server via portfolio, which I understand is a good practice because we do not have to hard code the users password. I'm trying to read pages 117 and 118 of the book The Underground PHP and Oracle manual online to learn how to set up a portfolio. I proceeded by steps as explained in these two pages (except that at the end I connect, as a normal user, not a privileged user) yet, apparently PHP does not detect the user.
  
  Here's what I write in my script
  

  $connection = 
                  oci_connect 
                      (
                          "training", 
                          "", 
                          "php_ora_usr", 
                          "AL32UTF8"
                      );

  the training is the name of the user that I use in my PHP scripts to connect to the oracle database and the password is mypassword (is not true, just for the purpose of this thread :)) the code above gives me the following error:)

  Warning: oci_connect(): ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied in /var/www/html/myscript.php on line 91
  
  Fatal error: Connection step: ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied in /var/www/html/myscript.php on line 13

  But if I also provide the password which is,

  $connection = 
                  oci_connect 
                      (
                          "training", 
                          "mypassword", 
                          "php_ora_usr", 
                          "AL32UTF8"
                      );

  Obviously it works, but at the same time, this means that my wallet is not operational.
  
  So I'll write here, step by step, how I did according to the instructions contained in the pages 117 and 118 of the above mentioned book and I would be grateful if you could kindly tell where I made the mistake (s)
  
  The following text was performed under my oracle linux (so the dbagroup)
  
  Step 01:_
  I created and provided the password for the directory of portfolio

  mkstore -wrl /home/oracle/wallet_dir -create

  Step 02:_
  I created an entry for my oracle user that will be used in my PHP scripts to connect to oracle
  user: training
  password: mypassword

  mkstore -wrl "/home/oracle/wallet_dir" -createCredential php_ora_usr training mypassword

  I also checked that the entry was actually created for my user in the portfolio

  $ mkstore -wrl "/home/oracle/wallet_dir" -listCredential
  Oracle Secret Store Tool : Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
  Copyright (c) 2004, 2009, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
  
  Enter wallet password:                
     
  List credential (index: connect_string username)
  1: php_ora_usr training
  $ 

  Step 03:_
  I added the following to my $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora

  .  .  .
  php_ora_usr = 
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
      (CONNECT_DATA =
        (SERVER = DEDICATED)
        (SERVICE_NAME = db02)
      )
    )
  .  .  .

  Step 04_
  I added the following to my $TNS_ADMIN/sqlnet.ora

  # sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
  # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
  
  NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
  
  ADR_BASE = /u01/app/oracle
  
  WALLET_LOCATION =
      (SOURCE =
          (METHOD = FILE)
          (METHOD_DATA =
              (DIRECTORY = /home/oracle/wallet_dir)
          )
      )
  SQLNET.WALLET_OVERRIDE = TRUE
  SSL_CLIENT_AUTHENTICATION = FALSE
  SSL_VERSION = 0

  _ Step 05
  The TNS_ADMIN environment variable is already set correctly in * / etc/sysconfig/httpd * so I didn't need to do something for this step
  
  
  Step 06_
  I gave to access Apache (as root) in the directory of portfolio (in fact, it seems that the user oracle (dba) of linux also has the required privileges to grant this access to the apache)

  # setfacl -m u:apache:rx /home/oracle/wallet_dir
  # setfacl -m u:apache:r /home/oracle/wallet_dir/{cwallet.sso,ewallet.p12}

  Step 07_
  Restart Apache

  # service httpd restart

  Step 08_
  Finally make a test connection using the connection string php_ora_usr which the entry was created earlier. And the test was not successful, as indicated above

  $connection = 
                  oci_connect 
                      (
                          "training", 
                          "", 
                          "php_ora_usr", 
                          "AL32UTF8"
                      );

  The error message:
  

  Warning: oci_connect(): ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied in /var/www/html/myscript.php on line 91
  
  Fatal error: Connection step: ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied in /var/www/html/myscript.php on line 13

  I would appreciate it if you could kindly shed some light.
  
  Thanks in advance,

  That gives a good clue to begin with. With your platform/Apache/DB, you might need different ACLs. Test directory and permissions. Check what euid your Apache runs as. Good luck.

• a few questions about vcloud

  I have a few questions about vcloud.  Currently, we use labmanager and are testing vcloud to see how we can apply it to our environment.  The current labmanager serves the following purpose:

  -create dev and QA 'environments' (configurations) that are copies of production servers so that the changes can be tested

  -environments deploy everything from models that are clones of production servers that we update as required

  -We have several models of "database" that freshen production according to the needs in order to provide a current recuree version of the database of production for these environments

  -computers in virtual environments are able to talk to each other using their 'production' IPs, because IP addresses are closed and accessible only internally within the

  -Each VM has an "external IP" that we can use to access the virtual machines from outside the environment.  for example, access a Web site through the front-end server within the environment, or RDP to a windows virtual computer within an environment.

  I am trying to determine how this translates into vcloud configuration, and I think I have a rough idea.  However I have a few questions:

  As I understand it, has no way to RDP to a virtual machine in a paralytic 'environment' unless the virtual machine is directly routed, correct?  In other words, we cannot copy the configuration that we have above, where the virtual machine has an internal IP address that corresponds to the IP address of the server in production and is used to refer to other virtual machines in the same environment of vApp, however there is also one external IP address, we can use to access this virtual machine via RDP or access its site Web etc.?

  I have 2 servers windows 2008, I imported as models, and each time I deploy a virtual using the VAPP model computer, the server seems to restart after 15 minutes be on is, and it seems to go through a windows installation, where it says "preparing your system for a first use" etc.  And when it arrives, the administrator password I put is no longer correct (so I have no idea why / what it changes the administrator password).  At this point, the virtual machine is useless since I can't connect to it.  No idea why this happens each time I have deploy a model VM?

  We talk here: http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2010/09/15/vcd-networking-part-3-use-case .  Not exactly a step by step for your case to use, but you should be able to get this up and running and configure NAT in the opposite direction.
