Today’s Mobile Worker News Update May 17, 2012 is a post from: Blog of a Long Distance Worker Tech

The start of my problem was the in my use of Google Sync for Outlook, a tool that gives almost native desktop integration for the Google mail features. This has worked great and I noticed no problems until about three weeks ago I noticed that my laptop was sucking battery and ran hot all the time that Outlook was open. A little investigation found that the Sync of Notes was always running and syncing despite the fact that I don’t use the Notes feature of Outlook or Google at all (I prefer Evernote). Further checks found that I had a significant amount of Notes that I discovered was actually all of my .txt files that I had stored in Google Docs/Drive (I use Google Drive desktop sync and Insync to sync my main files, something I had added a load of files to about three weeks previously). The penny dropped, that because Google Apps Sync for Outlook syncs all ‘notes’ found in Google Docs to Outlook, all of the many text files (many GB by the way) that I sync were between machines and the cloud using Insync were also being synchronised into my Google Mail and because there were many GBs, it was taking a very long time and killing my laptops in the meantime.

I had to stop the synchronisation of Notes and contacted Google Apps Enterprise support for help (because I could not find anything online about how to do it). Their response was sort of expected and not expected… Google Notes sync is beta and the disabling of the sync was not supported. The last point is the killer for me, and what led me to think that Google has a big problem. They activated without my control a Beta feature (Notes Sync) but don’t provide a single way for me (a Live user) to disable a Beta feature, at least they don’t support it! Not Enterprise friendly and that has to change Google.

Anyway, they did provide some ‘unsupported’ registry settings to disable it in the end, so fine I used the settings but unfortunately it did not work – in fact the modifications were supposed to allow me to disable the sync of one or all features of Google Sync for Outlook but NONE of the changes did anything. I contacted Google again but their response was that they could not provide support on the unsupported registry modifications and I was ON MY OWN! Not friendly at all, they effectively hung me out to dry to a problem caused by their enforcement of the use of a Beta feature AND providing a fix that simply did nothing. Google, you have a problem right there in the use of your services with the Enterprise and you need to fix it right now. Don’t deploy Beta features without the ability to enable/disable them, and don’t leave businesses high and dry without a resolution caused by your own ineptitude otherwise you will LOSE to everyone else. I had to consider stepping back from Google Apps for Domains, back to a traditional hosted Exchange solution before I found the fix (we also considered stepping back from Google Docs/Drive as a smaller step).

Anyway, for those who need the fix I hunted over several nights through multiple Google Groups looking for a solution and finally found it, but that was no thanks to Google. For those who are looking to be able to enable or disable individual syncs in Google Sync for Outlook you need to modify the follow the instructions:

1. Go to http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?answer=1041455 , go to Enable/Disable Import Options.

2. Follow Step 1 to Create the “SyncFlagsEnabled” value with DWORD value set to 1.

3. Skip Step 2 because it is redundant to what you want to do

4. Follow Step 3 for each of the services you wish to control (NotesSync in my instance) but add the following to the registry key for the service:
registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Apps Sync\NotesSync

Modify HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Apps Sync\TasksSync by adding the following DWORD Values: 
DWORD Value: UploadEnabled 
Modify the DWORD Value as follows: 
Set the Value data = 0 

DWORD Value: DownloadEnabled 
Modify the DWORD Value as follows: 
Set the Value data = 0

All I then had to do was remove the almost 3GB of notes from my Notes folder and then compact my PST to get everything back to where it needs to be, and then go an provide a registry import for these settings to provide to all of my users so that they don’t have the same problem of the laptop whizzing about synchronising a whole load of nothing, using processor and bandwidth a plenty. All I need to do now is watch Google for the next Enterprise mess up with Google Sync for Outlook.

Today’s Mobile Worker News Update May 16, 2012 is a post from: Blog of a Long Distance Worker Tech

Time was that I either had to hunt out the Wifi or figure out how to get a local SIM or take a roaming SIM with me, to get connectivity when travelling overseas. This still is the case right now for PC usage in the main, but there are changes afoot caused by the EU restricting what mobile providers can charge for roaming data for mobile phone usage. Some providers like Vodafone had already made some changes and offered 25MB of data a day for £2 per day (and £1 per MB after that), and now O2 in the UK is also making changes which seems to offer exactly the same thing.

In the spirit of these changes, I signed up for a Vodafone SIM (O2 does not makes its changes for month or two more, and they are my home network) and inserted it into a little Android unlocked mobile phone I have, and suitably added some credit. By default, the £2 for 25MB data is activated on PAYG/Pre-pay SIMs so I was ready to go. Rather helpfully the Android phone offers a 3G data usage tracker that is easily accessible from the notification drop down, so I could keep track of my usage as I went.

I set off on my travels by train this morning and ended up in Belgium, where I turned the phone on for the first time. I then began using the phone for email pickup, some very light twitter use, a look at Facebook once and about five Foursquare checkins covering me from Brussels to the border with Luxembourg… and then all of a sudden I had used half of my allowance. I had been careful to turn off my data every single time I stopped using it so that there was no ‘leakage’ from the phone. Then I arrived at my destination and a single check (unsuccessfully) on Google Maps took me to 23MB of my 25MB and then I turned it off because even at £1 per MB, charges would rack up pretty quickly at that rate.

So all in all, I am glad that some new tariffs are coming through however they do not reflect anyone’s usage of a smartphone and I hope that things will go further still in enforcing a reduction in the ‘banditry’ that is roaming mobile data very soon. 25MB for one day is insufficient for ANYONE, who really wants to use a smartphone in a realistic way, how about 100MB or even 150MB for £2 for one day? That would be a little more realistic for £2 and not the £125+ that it would cost today on Vodafone PAYG (note that would be £450 on my CURRENT O2 tariff).

I am shocked appalled at this report…

At an event today, HTCs vice president of product strategy Bjorn Kilburn noted that the company had conducted research last year to find out whether customers preferred thin smartphones to those which compromised thickness for better battery life. The answer, interestingly, was that they generally preferred thinness, at which point its plans for 3,000mAh-plus devices were removed from the roadmap.

via HTC: customers prefer thin phones to better battery life | The Verge.

What the hell was the question they asked? Do you want a brick with excellent battery life? or a wafer thin mint that will run for 8 hours? I can only guess two things here, that Steve Jobs was right and you shouldn’t ask customers what they want or that they did ask the most stupidly and self serving research questions in the world!

I don’t think we need a phone that lasts a couple of days, but I truly believe the middle ground is that the phone MUST last under normal to heavy voice, video and data usage for 12 to 14 hours but it must be less than2 to 3 cms thick (which frankly is thin in my book). This is achievable today with good design. Right now phone manufacturers are making the equivalent of cars with 1 gallon fuel tanks… great around town near a petrol station, but useful for doing anything for longer. A car such as that would be seen as being fundamentally flawed and would sell like a plague carrier, so should a mobile phone that lasts 8 hours or less.
