20080220800DATA-CAPABLE NETWORK PRIORITIZATION WITH REDUCED DELAYS IN DATA SERVICE - In one illustrative method, a periodic location update timer value is broadcasted by a wireless communication network and received and stored in memory of a mobile station. A request for data service is transmitted by the mobile station to a wireless communication network, and the request is reattempted at least one time in response to identifying a rejection of the request. If the request for the data service is accepted in response to the request, the mobile station operates in the wireless communication network using the data service. On the other hand, if the request for the data service is not accepted, the mobile station is set in a data service deregistered state. A timer is initialized with an initial value that is less than the periodic location update timer value and started. In response to an expiration of the timer, the mobile station repeats the transmission of the request for the data service and any reattempts in response to any rejections of the request. If the periodic location update timer value is less than the initial value, however, the timer is initialized with the periodic location update timer value.09-11-2008
20090158027ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING AN ALTERABLE CONFIGURATION AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING AND CONFIGURING THE SAME - An electronic device having an alterable configuration includes a non-volatile memory configurable to include at least a first partition and a second partition, the non-volatile memory storing a boot ROM. The boot ROM is operable when executed by a processor of said electronic device to, in the event that a third partition is available, boot an operating system in the third partition, the operating system operable when booted to cause the third partition to be deleted and the second partition to be expanded to encompass memory freed by the deletion; and otherwise boot an operating system in the first partition.06-18-2009
20100048208DATA-CAPABLE NETWORK PRIORITIZATION WITH REJECT CODE HANDLING - Reject code handling is utilized for a more time-efficient selection of data-capable networks. One illustrative method for use in selecting a wireless communication network for communications involves the steps of causing a request for data connectivity to be transmitted through a first wireless network; reattempting the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network one or more times if a reject code comprising a non-critical error is received in response to the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network; and attempting to select a second wireless network for communications without reattempting the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network one or more times if a reject code comprising a critical error is received in response to the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network. 02-25-2010

20090300117FEDERATED MOBILE MESSAGING APPLIANCE - A federated mobile messaging appliance can be provided. The appliance can include a hidden partition including different images of a mobile messaging system each corresponding to a particular e-mail server type. The appliance also can include federated mobile messaging configuration logic. The logic can include program code enabled to identify an e-mail server type for a coupled e-mail server, to select one of the images to be revealed based upon the identified e-mail server type, and to configure and activate a corresponding mobile messaging system in the selected one of the images in the hidden partition for interoperation with the coupled e-mail server.12-03-2009
20090300118SUBSCRIBER AUDIT FEATURE FOR MOBILE MESSAGING - In an embodiment of the invention, a method for subscriber auditing in a mobile messaging system can be provided. The method can include deploying a mobile messaging system for use in cooperation with a communicatively coupled e-mail server, pushing e-mail from the e-mail server to wireless devices belonging to different subscribers through the mobile messaging system, counting the subscribers and comparing a number of the subscribers to a permitted number of licensed subscribers for the mobile messaging system, and alerting an administrator of the mobile messaging system when the number of the subscribers counted crosses a threshold value less than the licensed subscribers. In one aspect of the embodiment, the threshold value can be zero thus an alert is only sent when the number of subscribers counted exceeds the permitted number of licensed subscribers.12-03-2009
20090300119BACKUP AND RESTORE FEATURE FOR MOBILE MESSAGING - Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to managing a mobile messaging server deployment and provide a method, system and computer program product for a backup and restore feature for a mobile messaging system. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for backup and restore in a mobile messaging system can be provided. The method can include deploying a mobile messaging system for use in cooperation with a communicatively coupled e-mail server and pushing e-mail from the e-mail server to wireless devices belonging to different subscribers through the mobile messaging system. The method also can include acquiring a snapshot of the deployed mobile messaging system exemplary of a contemporaneous state of the mobile messaging system, and storing the snapshot for subsequent retrieval and restoration of a subsequently prior state of the mobile messaging system.12-03-2009

20090276067SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING AN AUDIO SIGNAL - Disclosed is a system and method of adjusting a volume level for an audio signal for a communication device to comply with a quality threshold. The method comprises: obtaining a digitized signal value of the audio signal and monitoring for an increase in the volume level. In the method, upon determining that implementing the increase in the volume level would produce an output that would exceed the quality threshold, processing the signal value to produce a first output signal value for the audio signal utilizing a digital signal processing (DSP) device in the communication device, a processing filter defined in the digital signal processing device, a first set of adjustment parameters and the signal value. In the method, upon determining that implementing the increase in the volume level would not exceed the quality threshold processing the signal value to produce a second output signal value for the audio signal utilizing the DSP, the processing filter, a second set of adjustment parameters and the signal value. In the method, the first output signal and the second output signal both implement the increase in the volume level.11-05-2009
