I am wanting to move off of Symantec Endpoint Cloud here at work and I've researched other options. I am seeing a lot of good opinions on Sophos Cloud Endpoint Advanced. Wanted to see what the ML community thought of it.

Nice...I'd post mine but I use widgets on my main screen to show calendar and to-do lists...don't think anyone would be impressed with my busy schedule...Soccer, School Events, Kids, Kids, Kids...

I am actually using Arrow Launcher on my (replaced) Note 7 and like it a lot. I like the ability to set up as many widgets as I like on one page that vertically scrolls. It can also be mixed with standard app or app folder icons....the only thing missing for me is the ability to save Chrome Web Pages to the "desktop."

I have my recalled Note 7. Verizon received them yesterday and shipped me one overnight. All things considered, despite the fact the flawed Note 7's should have never been released, I think Samsung has handled this fairly well.

I even have a "green" battery indicator so make it easy to identify the fixed model over the bad ones.

@JaredBusch said in Bluetooth Or Standard Headset For VoIP System:

not sure wtf is going on with the down voting, but it is a fact that if the unit requires the handset to be lifted for the headset to work, then you either need a lifter or an EHS device designed for the phone.

Yealink sells an EHS for their phones so you don't have to use a lifter.

Google tells me that Aastra phones have specific EHS compatible stuff.

Let me ask this quesiton. Why not just use a DECT unit?

I am going to give that bundle specifically made for the Aastra a try...this project got put on the back burner because, well, SOLO IT Director/Shop...you know how that goes.

So my oldest son is in first grade. He uses iPads at school for some apps that the school has. They also seem to work on android devices as well. I have a windows tablet that I was going to let him use, but the apps just aren't there for the windows OS. So, the question is:

What is a good option for him where I can have parental controls, etc for a decent price. I don't care about the OS. ( he already is on Linux Mint on an old PC I gave him) Would an iPad be ok, or maybe a chrome book? Something else?

We use ipad for both our kids... figure best to stay close to the school for ease of use. I control their network access but would love more parental controls. Their may be something but I haven't looked hard for it.

If Microsoft is really focusing on bringing their software to multi-platforms, then they really need to bring over Family Safety. Best and simplest family safety program I've ever used.

The simpler you can make it, the better off everybody will be, lol.

I still have a lot to learn, no time to learn it and still be Mr. Jack of All Trades SOLO IT Guy...I've literally poked at this code all week in between day to day and not a lot to show but perhaps closer to the solution.

When this macro goes to call FindJobDir, it is included in this line with sJob:

vJobFolders = Split(FindJobDir(strpathtofile & sJob), ",")

Wonder if I need my little code to be after this line rather than in the function for FindJobDir ?

Possible. Does vJobFolders return a single folder, an array of folders?
When debugging the code step by step

At one point, vJobFolders does get the value of W2 assigned to it...that is after it is verified that is an existing folder at the network location......SJob equals what is typed into Column W but it still doesn't guarantee it will be at the network location that we are looking for an exact match for...

So thinking aloud, maybe if sJobs doesn't equal the value of sJob at some point, then it should throw up a message that the job folder doesn't exist. That way, not only will it match exactly, but also alert the user to a possible typo...

Maybe that is a little simplistic for my neophyte VBA mind...

And interesting...I think I may be getting somewhere but now the dreaded NEXT WITHOUT FOR message. I did next this idea in a FOR statement which reads:

For i = 0 To UBound(vJobFolders)

Should we do one for sResults?

Again, thinking out loud here...

What is interesting about learning while you debug is how lurching it can be...like right now, I don't think we need to key on strPath but insread sJob...sJob is the parsed strPath with just the job number...

It is declared and used in another area of code and not visible to this function so I need to get around that.

@dafyre said in VBA Hint Needed - Change Way An Existing Project Grabs Data:

Set sResults = Worksheets("REPORT").Range("W2:W50").Find(strPath)

If I do that, it does finish the Macro but doesn't do the exact match...guessing now if Set sResults = Worksheets("REPORT").Range("W2:W50").Find(strPath) is what I needed, then I perhaps need a conditional statement now?

@dafyre said in VBA Hint Needed - Change Way An Existing Project Grabs Data:

@garak0410 said in VBA Hint Needed - Change Way An Existing Project Grabs Data:

Here's where I am now:

First up, as explained before, a part of this project looks for job numbers listed in Column W:

For Each rCell In Worksheets("REPORT").Range("W2:W50")
If IsEmpty(rCell.Value) Then Exit Sub
Debug.Print rCell.Value:
sJob = rCell.Value
vJobFolders = Split(FindJobDir(strpathtofile & sJob), ",")
For i = 0 To UBound(vJobFolders)
As you can see, it then goes to a function called FindJobDir:

Function FindJobDir(ByVal strPath As String) As String
Dim sResult As String
sResult = Dir(strPath & "*", vbDirectory)
FindJobDir = UCase$(sResult)
Do While sResult <> ""
sResult = Dir
If Len(sResult) > 0 Then FindJobDir = FindJobDir & "," & UCase$(sResult)
Loop
End Function
What I need it to do is make sure what is listed in Range W2:W50 is an exact match for what it is looking for in that function. Basically, what is in W2:W50 need to match exactly to the folder it is looking for at the network location.

It has been suggested I try

Dim sResult As String
Dim sResults As Range
Set sResults = Worksheets("REPORT").Range("W2:W50").Find(strPath, LookAt = xlWhole)

I still need to work on a condition and make a warning if it doesn't match but that is yet to come. I've put that last block of code into the function.

It fails with VARIABLE NOT DECLARED and highlights the entire variable declaration when I add that Set sRestults statement. It does refer to the strPath in that statement. Thinking the problem is there but it gives no hints to why it says this.

What about the LookAt = xlWhole? Maybe you should...?

dim LookAt
set LookAt=xlWhole
Set sResults = Worksheets("REPORT").Range("W2:W50").Find(strPath, LookAt)

Tried that, now it says COMPILE ERROR, OBJECT REQUIRED. It Yellow Highlights the Function line and blue Highlights XlWhole after the Set LookAt = .

I wonder if I need to make the variables Explicit and Public?

@Danp said in Samsung to Recall Galaxy Note 7 Smartphone Over Reports of Fires:

@garak0410 Isn't it just the batteries that need replaced?

On what little news we have, yes...just the batteries...but they replacing the current ones with brand new ones and I imagine the bad phones will have their batteries replaced and then sold as refurbished....

Back to the Note 7 for a moment. I know this has been a herculean issue for Samsung but I wonder when the fixed models will ship...I am thinking, realistically, 1-2 more weeks, perhaps longer...I know that won't please a lot of people but I imagine they are performing extensive testing.

I had a Samsung Galaxy S4 for a bit, hated every day of it. Went back to Motorola, now I'm feeling the Android love again (always had Motorola before the Galaxy, loved them all).

@Dashrender don't fall for "cool factor" sold to you by some fuckbag in a turtleneck.

LOL - turtleneck.. nice!

Yeah I'm not - but it is true - in general the iPhones I've touched haven't had the lag that I constantly experience after several weeks of owning an android phone. I have the Nexus 6P - what should be one of the best damned phones on the planet... it's now 2 months and 5 days old and holy crap if it's not just sluggish as well! I reboot it at least once a day.

I'm about to ensure I have a list of things I really care about and wipe it out and start over. I'm really hoping that it's like Windows - I just installed some app that it's just pissed about. wiping will hopefully get rid of that crap and I'll go back to only installing what I really need.

Well, you've kept me from trying a Nexus 6P. Guess I'll wait on the Note 7 replacements but may always be a little wary of Samsung. As stated earlier, I could live with a 950xl if it would work on Verizon.

You don't know how utterly unhappy I am that I have this problem with this phone.

As Scott has mentioned in the past, his experience with Android has never been great, maybe not even good. Sadly if I look at it objectively I have to admit the same.
I think my first Android was the HTC EVO - it was tolerable, then I kinda forget what I had for a while, then I had a Galaxy S4. It had the same issues this Nexus 6P has - laggy screens, and general slowness. Then I moved over to the Windows phone, the cheap 530 then upgraded to the 630XL. These phones weren't perfect, but much closer than any android phone I'd used to the point.

As most of you know I got the Nexus 6P before my trip. It was awesome on my trip, great pictures, never lagged, was great! But, now that I'm home, I've installed a few more apps on it, but not a ton, now it's lagging horribly.

I can honestly agree about the lag. We had Windows MOBILE 6.5 phones for a while before jumping to Android. We went with the S2 variant Captivate and then on to the Skyrocket (S3 I believe.) Lag and reboots are what I remember the most despite having apps. We moved to Windows Phone 8 and absolutely were extremely happy. When the writing was on the wall with Windows Phone, I decided to go back to Android but I was very wary. I have to say the Note 5 is a very speedy phone. When on the Note 7 before the recall, loved the screen and cameras but hated the lag.

So my decision now is to stay on the Note 5 (screen feels like a step back after the Note 7)...try an iPhone 7+ or suffer with the lag on the Note 7, hoping an update will solve it.

All in all, Android lag is a real thing...

After this Note 7 debacle and despite liking the option of a good stylus, I have really considered other options for my Android phone. Camera is number 1 feature for me and need it as good as a Galaxy 7 series.

I'm one of the 1% that still prefers Windows Phone but I know it is just too hard to support anymore.

@Dashrender finally gave up that ghost this summer when he needed a usable phone in Europe.

Sadly - he's right. I loved my Windows phone. Even the cheap 650XL ($299 I think) never seemed laggy. This isn't to say it was perfect. The Podcast app crashed on me all the time, and other than email/texting was the most widely used app for me.

But I have a brand new Nexus 6P - and damn if it's not laggy. I've never not had an Android that had lag issues. I've had it about 2 months now and it's gotten laggy over the last 2 weeks. I've installed a few games in the last two weeks, as well as that potty locator app.

But I'm hearing that Samsung phones suffer this same problem. What I'm hearing is that reviewers never see these problems because they only use the phone for upwards of a month before moving to the next phone they are reviewing, but shortly there after for normal people they really start to slow down have lag issues.

I can't believe that I'm close to ready to give iPhone a try to get rid of these stupid problems.. That's one thing I have to give Steve Jobs - as much of an asshat as he apparently was, he demanded that things work correctly and for the long haul.

With my short time on the Note 7, it had noticeable lag compared to my Note 5. I am back on the Note 5 as I await this recall mess and despite missing the stellar, curved screen of the Note 7, the Note 5 has not had much lag at all. It is one of the few phones with 6GB RAM if that matters.

I have a 950xl that I would actual use on Verizon if I could, despite the whole app gap mess.

There are a lot of impatient Samsung fans out there but I'd rather err on the side of caution for sure. A lot of people wanted their replacement phones last week but I imagine it may be 2-3 more weeks, just to make sure they are safer.
