I have just purchased an I phone and am dissapointed to find that SIRI cannot use the map function in the UK, I notice that in all of the glossy advertising Apple do they do not hghlight this lack of UK functionality, surely that is not being transparent! they should make this fact known but why would they as people would just buy their competitions phones which are equally as good if not better - not expecting a response from Apple!
Can you use a jailbreak 3GS 3.1.3 as a GPS mapping device, ie. TomTom ?
Am a complete newby to this. Have been reading forums for two evenings, and need some clarity Re. GPS. Am going to buy a iphone 3GS 16G soon, and it will have 3.1.3 firmware. Have never had any of the Tomtom type GPS devices, or an iphone, before. I need the GPS thing for my new job--lots of traveling around town, looking for residential addresses.
I have noticed this sort of thing on some friends phones. You enter the address into the phone, and then it verbally and visually gives you instructions on how to get to the location. A few questions:
1. Is this an "app" that you buy once, or do you subscribe to it monthly, or what ? 2. Will it still work on a jailbreak 3GS, 3.1.3? 3. Is there any additional esoteric knowledge or info I should seek about this GPS function ?
How do I remove a 'wife' from iPhone. I told Siri that my partner was my wife then I married her and changed her contact details and now Siri thinks I have two wives and asks which one when I ask Siri to call or send a message.
I had a problem with capacity on my Outlook program (because I had imported an old .pst version of data files when installing Outlook 2010 on my new PC). This meant I have had to change the directory name and location for Outlook on my PC. The capacity has increased from 2 Gb to 6GB. I have imported all my old Outlook data into that new file and everything works just fine on the PC.
However, the unintended consequence is that I cannot now synchronise my device data with my PC data. When trying to do a simple Sync I get the message 'One or more configured folders is not available. Update folder mapping and try again.'
That all makes sense but when I bring up the relevant Organiser section of the BB software, the Map Folder button is not highlighted and there is nothing in the Map Folder box. I then get a message that says 'No folder mapping is available for calendar section.'
How can I recreate the link between the newly located and renamed .pst file and the device?
That being the case, I downloaded the map files for Alberta onto my 5800XM and checked that Banff and Calgary map info was present.No problem with Banff road details and POI's but although the name 'Calgary' is shown on the map, the main roads stop short of the city and absolutely no roads are shown going into the city and no POI's are pesent for Calgary.
It seems like many times when I plug my phone into a USB cable attached to my laptop (which is my normal method for charging it), charge the phone, and then detach the phone from the cable, I have to go back through and reassign personal tones for SMS messages and email accounts. Every sound has defaulted back to my default phone ringtone, and when I go back into my sound settings, my default notification says "unknown notification". If I tap on it to hear what sound it is, it plays my default ringtone. I monitor 8 email accounts and assign different notification sounds for each one. I also have personal SMS sounds for any texts from my wife or ESPN. It's annoying when I disconnect my USB cable to have to go back through everything and reassign these different tones.
Just some notes: ***This problem only seems to happen when I leave the phone connected to the USB cable for an extended period of time (such as overnight) or when I have copied some files from my laptop to my phone's SD card***All of my sounds are stored on my SD card. This problem acts as if the phone loses any mappings to files on the SD card if it is connected as a mass storage device for an extended period of time***I use the built-in email program for monitoring all my email accounts***My default USB computer connection is selected as Mass Storage since MotoCast and ZumoCast are not supported by the Electrify 2
I am trying to synchronize my laptop calendar with my BB calendar through Microsoft Outlook with no success. When I use the BB Desktop Software for the Curve 8530, I did the following:
I connected the laptop to the BB with a USB cable. I invoked the BB Desktop Software and connected with the BB. I viewed the conflict resolution dialogue box and updated both fields in the device and Microsoft Outlook with highlighted values.
I received error message "Error encountered. Error code - 0x80040fb3. Check documentation." I pressed "OK". I received the message "Unable to complete synchronization". I pressed "OK". Then I hit the "Synch" button on the dialogue box. The message "one or more configured folders is not available. Update folder mapping and try again."
Then I clicked on "organizer" button in the dialogue box. I clicked on "configure settings". I clicked "advanced" after seeing that the "calendar" and "address" book were checked. The error message "no available message stores" was displayed. I clicked "OK". The "Advanced" menu appeared, however the "map folder" button was not highlighted and the message "no folder mapping is available for calendar section".
My e-mail is being synchronized from Hotmail through to Outlook. I can see my Hotmail e-mail in Outlook.My calendar is being synchronized from Hotmail through to Outlook. I can see my Hotmail calendar in Outlook. My address books are not being synchronized. My calendars are not being synchronized.
On Saturday when I was charging my phone I noticed a burning smell and immediately ran over to my iphone and pulled out the charger cable which was glowing red and smoke was coming from both it and my iphone 4. My phone although slightly fire damaged in the charger dock was still operational, however, when the battery ran out and I tried to charge again on a different charger it would not recharge. I took my phone into the apple store (Toronto Eaton Centre, Canada) and received terrible customer service. The 'genius' took maybe 5 seconds to not listen to my complaint before running off with my phone and charger and then coming back with a new handset and cord and asking me to pay for the replacement. I have since spoken to the manager of the store who was equally unhelpful or concerned about the issue and informed me that he couldn't help because they have since lost my old handset in the apple warehouse system.
I am not only concerned that my current handset could now catch fire, but I am also concerned at the level of disinterest from a company about what is clearly a dangerous fault. What could have happened if I was asleep when it was charging?
As a consumer, this is my first apple product and I had been looking at buying a macbook very soon, however following this incident where I have been penalised through no fault of my own for using a dangerous handset. Then the total lack of concern, apology or interest demostrated by apple has put me off ever using apple products again. I would urge others to be very very careful when charging their handsets as this could have been a lot worse. If your phone is damaged certainly do not expect any support or assistance from Apple.
I do not have an 'edit' button in the top right hand corner when looking at my contacts list therefore am unable to update numbers or delete contacts- I re-booted my phone but that didn't work!
I have an iphone 4 which I have always synced with my computer without problems. I bought a new computer, transferred my music library which I can play fine on my computer but when I want to sync my iphone to this new library, i keep getting the message that there is not enough space on the iphone to sync. I added a few albums to my new library and that's why I want to sync between the computer itunes and my iphone to get them on my phone. The info on Itunes says I have 2.39 GB free, yet it won't sync. I even unchecked everything on the music sync page of itunes and created a playlist of all my songs (1789 of them) and tried to manually sync with just that playlist. It still won't work. I do not know what else to do and have already spent hours and hours fussing with this. I don't want to use Match on my phone because when I travel, I don't always have wifi or data to access from the cloud.Â
Am I missing something...... There is such a lack of third party apps for media players and especially browsers. Is there other ways that could be shared? Are there other apps for these two that can be found out there that are compatible with the storm 2? Free or not.
i have recently purchased a 9380. good phone but very few apps available. many apps that i used on my old 9300 are not available viz., Blackberry travel, accuweather, ICE, Make my trip, QR code scanner Pro, The Times of India, The Weather Channel, Vlingo, VR+ Voice Recorder,Whats App, World Mate and many more. whats worsse is that many of these apps have been paid for and are now useless. newer apps that have been released such as The Economic Times are not available for this device. so then whats the use of 'upgrading' to a new phone. will Blackberry please wake up and set this right.
When in 'My Position' mode, the map moves to follow you as you move, however, it does not rotate. Is this due to the 5800's lack of a built in compass? If not, how can I enable this? Pressing the compass icon achieves nothing. Is there a way to manually rotate the map? Again, messing about with the compass icon has no yieled results.In navigation mode, when a route has been set, your current speed is shown, along with warnings when you go too fast, along with speed camera information. Is there anyway to activate these features without setting a route? I'd like these features when I'm out on a random drive, and have not decided a destination. E.g. having them in 'My Position' mode.Also, I do not have a data package, and so have A-GPS disabled, in Locations -> Positioning settings under applications, and have only integrated GPS activated. I've been wondering whether there is a charge for Network Positioning though? It seems as if all it does it find the mast you're connected to.
Looking at my phone accidentally i discovered that over the clock on the top right side of the screen i saw that the border light is more weak than the rest of the phone.
Noticing a lack of Bluetooth range / quality with there S6? I'm coming from an Moto X 2nd Gen, and its like night and day. My Moto 360 watch constantly drops connection when i'm more than 20 ft away, and my Moto Hint Bluetooth earpiece fades in and out with the phone just in my pocket or on the desk in front of me. My Bose Sound Link II is the same way I go in the next room it stops playing.
Just curious what AT&T's thinking was behind the lack of a fingerprint scanner on this phone. For me, that's one of my favorite things about the Atrix. I must be in the minority on this I supppose.
I am having a memory problem with my N97,When trying to upload the new version of Ovimap, the installation stops because of lack of memory, it asks that I delete some and start again.Have been into file manager and had a look to see I could delete, already deleted most of my apps and messages like it says on other answers.
What are your procedures with the battery in this device? Should I charge it only when it automatically turns off, due to lack of energy? Should I let the battery run out of energy, at least, twice a month?
Just goofing around, I figured out that there may be a workaround to the lack of a charge-only mode, at least on Windows systems. Connect the phone, and it will show up as a mass-storage device in Windows Explorer and start charging the phone. Now, click the tray icon to "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media." That disconnects the mass storage device, yet leaves the charger working.
Any way to fix the root glitch for the lack of sound on skype calls? Have been looking found a solution for a atrix and wondering if this would work on a flipout. I got the darn phone so that I could call home to the states cheaply.
I have an nokia 5800 and lately i have been very dissapointed with the lack of social integration on the home screen. I have seen many phones with facebook, twitter and so on that updates automaticlly on the home screen. I think that this phone would be alot better with it, and i am sure im not alone that thinks so.
I am getting on quite well with Belle on my E6, really, and I replaced Anna in a deliberate move to move on...BUT. Coming from an E72 preceded by an E61i (both of which I still use) I have gripes.The lack of Bluetooth or Silent keypad shortcuts I could easily live with if the dropdown menu worked at _every_ swipe, but it doesn't.The longer Space bar has been commented here before. I've used a short spacebar for five years with no issues and I don't have smaller-than-average fingers or thumbs. I now have to use the Symbol key to get '&' and a comma.When I listen to Internet radio on my E72 (which also has a more sensitive 3G antenna than my E6 BTW) it does intelligent things like: not cutting off the sound until I have selected headphone/line ... When I get home and unplug my headset or the cable to my Sony car radio audio, the sound immediately comes out of the speaker.Not on the E6, which even requires me to un-pause the media player. If you are streaming radio you don't always get the signal back immediately and easily lose a couple of miniutes before getting back online - or lose the rest of a show if you paused it at some stage.
Disappointed in ability or lack of ability to customize notification profile. my bb was very friendly in this allowing me to change ring tones and separate out if I wanted notification of certain email accounts during day but not at night wish their was more ability to customize and break down notification. help with a work normal sleep mode but still unable to separate direct connect from phone call or text from email
I have updated by n8 with Anna and Maps 3.08, 11wk41 b02, map version 0.2.43.117. It works fine except when driving to a destination on a freeway / motorway. The roadway is a gray color that blends into the background and even though it zooms in at interchanges it is small. Thus, at 70 MPH you cannot clearly see where to turn without staring at the scene, very dangerous. This makes it unusable and unsafe for freeway driving and it must be changed. Can I go back to the old version, or do I just start using my Tom Tom GPS and dump the phone.
The photographs I take with my Z3 main camera are blurred, hazy and lack color saturation & focus. I have read elsewhere that this might result from a defective lens cover with scratched anti-glare coating. Is there an easy way to fix this?
