Info from SRF activities on Visingsö during last week
During Thursday a seminar on IT-communication was held
Today there are many freewares for efficient communication. Skype is a freeware that can be downloaded fron internet (www.skype.com). This program allows wideo connection between 2-10 participants. The connection is also free of charge. Skype can therefore be used for normal and group conversations. During connection discussion of documents can be desired. It is possible to create a Google account (www.google.com) and login to use different Google apps, e.g., Google Drive to save files in the so called The Cloud. This is also free of charge. One Google app is Google Document that allows users to create and share documents saved in Google Drive. All connected users can see and work in the document at the same time. By using Skype and Google Document at the same time it is possible to talk and work with the document together in real time.

Info från Telia
An expansion of 4G net (to be used for surf/internet) over whole north part of Holmön is planned to the last quarter of 2014, i.e., between October-December. Also an expansion of te present 2G net (mainly used for oral/sms) is planned during the same time frame.
When it comes to signal strength on Holmön it is recommended to use telephones with high signal strength, e.g., from the manufacturer CAT that can be purchased from regular retailers (for exemple Siba, Elgiganten).
Bedsides the telephones there is a requirement that the phones are locked on 2G all over Holmön islands.
This has to be done manually, since all phones today are factory set to connect to 3G, which causes problems on Holmön where there is no 3G net at all.
To lock an iPhone to only 2G follow the instruction below:
1. Click on "Set"
2. Click on "Operator"
3. Uncheck "Auto" (So it is not marked green/blue)
4. In the list of operators that is loaded (can take up to some minutes) chose "Telia 2G" or "Telia GSM".
If one has another brand of phone it is possible to free of charge call the maufacturer to get step-by-step instruction to lock the phone to 2G. Here are support numbers to some wellknown manufacturers:
Samsung: 0771-7267864
Sony: 013-244500
LG: 0770-545454
HTC: 020-980788
I hope the information above will be helpful for all of you on Holmön.
Sincerely
Mani Hammerholm
