HTC 740 remove shutter sound

My colleague  Jesper was struggling with his HTC 740 phone in order to remove the shutter sound, at long last he found a solution; Edit the phone’s registry via a registry tool eg. this and remove the x.wav sound like shown here in an after shot. On my version (same model maybe a different build) it was a whole lot easier;
  • Start camera
  • Select menu
  • Browse down (about 3 screens) to “Shutter sound” and simply turn it off.

MS-Word fieldcode editing/changing

You have likely been in this situation before, you paste a large ACSII text into a word document and word makes these annoying double line breaks (new style carrige return) and you actually just want a linefeed.   Well you can change every instance manually but that would take forever, so here is how to do to fix it via a simple “Search and Replace”.

  • Mark the text you want ‘changed’
  • Select “Replace” from the top menu
  • Enter;
  • And execute, that’s all there is to it 🙂

I got the first hint here
And there is a bit more on formatting/fieldcodes here

iLO firmware is in a network flash recovery state

,

If you use HP servers you hopefully also use or have configured the iLO connection, the iLO port will allow you to connect to the console screen of the server even if Windows is not booted, this allows for installing a server or configuring bios settings etc remotely.

However, yesterday when I tried to connect to one of our servers via iLO (you do this via Internet Explorer)  i got this message;

<?xml version="1.0" ?> - <RIMP>
-<MP>   <ST>5</ST>   <INFORM>The iLO firmware is in a network flash recovery state.</INFORM>
<REFERENCE>Refer to the iLO network flash recovery under the trouble shooting 
section in the iLO users guide.</REFERENCE>   </MP>   </RIMP>
Well that was not what I expected, anyhow the solution is fairly simple, you just need to download the iLO firmware and flash the iLO management processor, this can easily be achieved via FTP.
  • Download the iLO firmware from www.hp.com(support and drivers, search for iLO firmware), note there is difference between iLO/iLO2/iLO3 so check your server specs for which FW to get.
  • Unpack firmware (by far the easiest way is to use www.rarlabs.comWinRar, just rightclick and extract from the .exe you downloaded before)
  • Find the iloXXX.bin and copy it to C:\  (or use your own location if you prefer, just remember to change it in the commands below also).
  • Start a command prompt (cmd.exe)
  • Issue these  commands;

    FTP x.x.x.x  (replace x.x.x.x with the correct IP)
    User: flash
    Password: recovery
    type binary
    put c:\iloXXX.bin   (replace XXX with the version number of the image file)

    and then wait while it flashes the ROM you will see a progress indicator.

After this iLO should be back up working 🙂  easy as pie..
