Audio Connection Delay, Droid DNA, Jawbone ERA, Bluetooth

This is a problem for the 3 to 5 second delay when connecting to an incoming call using Bluetooth ear pieces or headsets.

I resolved this problem on my HTC DNA phone using Jawbone ERA ear piece.

1) Go to Settings

2) Click Bluetooth (this should show your paired devices)

3) On the right side choose settings for this device (on my phone, this is on the right side and shows 3 slider icons)

4) This should bring up 'Profiles'
a. Phone Audio
b. Media Audio < unselect media audio

Then that's it. Now my incoming calls connect right away.

I do not use my Bluetooth for entertainment... so having the Media Audio selection disabled is no big deal.

Still trying to figure out how to get my ear piece to have audio for the ringer.

IE10, Internet Explorer 10 is a Piece of Garbage

Internet Explorer is so full of bugs and glitches that web developers are charging extra fees for insuring that a website or database will work correctly.

Just the other day we had 5 clients contact us with a variety of IE 10 problems; links that stopped working, thumbnails that disappeared, forms that would not open, data that would not display and the list goes on and on.

Microsoft is Just Plain Lazy
Microsoft has a bad habit of releasing their problems and then let the public sort out the problems. I did a search over Google "Problems with IE 10" and found over 2,500,000 million references.

Do yourself a favor and uninstall IE 10. Or better yet, just don't use it and download Chrome and Fire Fox as a back-up browser.

Problems with IE10, Internet Explorer 10 causing problems

Internet Explorer 10 and every version of Internet Explorer since IE 7.0 is a piece of bloatware garbage.

I started writing about all the problems surrounding IE when Microsoft released IE 7.0 (See: http://www.visionefx.net/articles/problems-with-ie7.htm ). And the hits just keep on coming from Microsoft  headquarters at Redmond Washington.

Below are some excerpts from Windows users after installing Internet Explorer 10 on their Windows 7 machines.

1) We have many SQL .Net database driven websites for online event registrations. ( .Net is a Windows based framework) However these websites work great in Chrome and FireFox but fail to work in IE 10. Go figure.
2) “Installed IE 10 yesterday, if I leave the computer on now and not use it for 2-3 hours Windows 7 does not respond anymore, it won't even shut down.”
3) “After the installation, I can't change the proxy settings anymore. More precisely, I *can* change them and conform the changes. Except the changes I made don't apply.”
4) “IE 10 is a hot mess on Windows 7. On some websites... can't get buttons to work and the cursor disappears.”
5) “In my opinion, IE 10 is Microsoft trash that they washed their hands of, and set out for us to rummage through.”

Uninstall IE 10

Click on the “Start” button (because you do have one unlike Windows 8 users!) and type “Programs and Features” in the search box. Click on the “View installed updates” in the left pane of the menu.

Go over to the “Uninstall an update” screen and scroll down to the “Microsoft Windows” section. Simply select Internet Explorer 10 and click “Uninstall.”

It usually takes a while until the process comes to an end, so you’re strongly recommended to avoid stopping or cancelling it. A reboot is necessary to complete the removal and restore IE9.

Back Linking on Off Topic Blogs does not help your Website Ranking


Back Linking on Off Topic Blogs does not help your Website Ranking.

It will not help your marketing.
It will not help your sales.
It will not help you get clicks.
It will not help your positioning.

It will not help your SEO.

So stop wasting your valuable time.
 
I have been looking through my comments and finding off-topic and faux on-topic comments. And in most cases they end with a text link such as Tennis Shoes, Cheap Vacations, Viagra and so on and so on. Dropping text and links in this way is laughable. It is bad business. While I have left my commenting open and believe in free speech... it is frustrating to see some much spamming.

If you were to drop 100,000 links in so many websites, blogs and directories using this method it makes more sense to approach a webmaster or business owner with open honesty and ask for a link on a resource page.

Follow this equation:
One good 'on topic', 'relevant link' on a 'relevant website' will mean more to your SEO marketing efforts than having 100, 000 off-topic spammy links. ( like the ones you will find in some of my comment sections ).

True Spin! Fed Ex and Social Media Commercial

I just saw a GREAT commercial where a business owner announces to his staff that he has hired his son and  throng of friends to help generate more business for his 'valve company'. How? They plan on generating more 'likes'.

One of the employees asks; 'wouldn't it be easier if we used Fed Ex to expand our business into new markets?'

You got to love these types of commercials that demonstrate the idiocy of using social media to generate leads and business.  Farce book is good for sex, religion, death, politics and hobby heads. But as a business generator? Not so much. Least we not forget... Farce book and the other usual suspects are 'social media' web apps. Social means to socialize. You don't talk about  your roofing company, law practice, consulting business at the annual Christmas party.

Here's a good rule of thumb to follow; If you have a subject, service or product that evokes love, hate and all the emotions in-between then by all means... share this on Farce Book.

But if you are looking for feedback, shares or likes for face lifts, hydro-static values, home remodeling, engineering, dentistry, roof replacement and so on...FORGET IT.

But maybe you are a GYN-OB practice and want to post new born photos and photo journal all the kids who grow up in your practice? Then yes. Farce book is a great place to do this. ( Are we starting to get the picture now? )

Good job. FED EX. I get 'one' like from me!
