Being retired, I enjoy sitting by the pool or fishing from my boat, listening to my collection of music on my iPhone 4S. Many months of the year are quite hot. How can I keep the iPhone cool in the hot sun so I will not get temperature warnings?
Info:
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
I just replaced my iPhone 3GS and I noticed that the LCD is a little warmer then the one I had. How does your iPhone look? has anybody else noticed this? Does anybody have pics?
View 15 Replies View RelatedToday my iPhone 4 showed 'TEMPERATURE' - iPhone needs to cool down due to temperature. Anyone experiences this issue? I have the full BodyGuardz skin applied on it and was just using it as normal with email checking, web browsing, GPS with Copilot, but my phone was not used when I got a weird noise with the temperatue warning. I was inside my house with AC set at 76 degree when this happened. The phone did not feel warm at all. Please see attachment.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am new to the BlackBerry world, since I just bought my first BlackBerry ever, a Sprint-branded Bold 9650 and, so far, I really like it, although, to be honest, the platform seems quite dated (it reminds me of Symbian S60 and, specifically, my Nokia E61i a lot!). I can't wait for BlackBerry 6 to be out! I plan to either upgrade my 9650 or get the upcoming 9800, which I have been salivating about since the early leaks.
I come from webOS (Palm Pre), iOS (2G, 3G & 3GS) and Android (G1, myTouch 3G, EVO 4G) and have had tonds of cell phones (29 in 14 years, to be exact LOL), but never a BlackBerry, for some reason, even though they have always intrigued me. Therefore, I have a bunch of questions, even after playing with the phone for many hours (I just got it last night and have been on it all day). Here are some of those questions and I'd appreciate it if you guys took the time to answer any of them. I numbered them for easier reference. Just please try not to quote my entire text, cause I know it's a lot and it would just clutter the thread.I considered posting in the Bold forum, but realized these questions apply to all of the latest BlackBerry devices, so I decided to post here instead. I will most likely have more questions soon, but here it goes.
APPS:
(1) What cool apps should I install? I do favor free apps (hardly ever use paid apps) and I'm big on almost anything that's "connected", like social networking (no need to mention the usual suspects like the Facebook and Twitter apps, of course), care little or nothing for PIM apps on my phone (calendars, tasks, etc.) and multimedia apps aren't my strong suit either (especially on such a small screen). However, almost anything that involves other people will catch my attention. Plus useful tools, alternative launchers, setting tweaking apps and the like. And photography and photo processing apps.
(2) Are my apps installing to the SD card? You aren't prompted and I haven't found a setting for this, so I assume they are, but wanted to confirm.
UPDATE: Already answered fully.
(3) Are there any [good] third party task managers? Specifically, any that allows you kill/close apps from the actual manager as opposed to having to switch to the app and close it from its menu?
(4) Other that BlackBerry App World, are there any other good sources of good third-party apps, themes, wallpapers?
E-MAIL:
(5) When I set up my Gmail e-mail account, the wizard asked me if I wanted to keep my Google contacts and calendar synced. I did, so I accepted. However, I figured Google Sync would do this, so I downloaded it (m.google.com/sync) and it says it's doing the same syncronization. Is this overkill? Are they both doing the same thing? What is it most Gmail users do in this case? What makes the most sense, is more reliable, less resource consuming, etc.?
UPDATE: Already answered fully.
(6) One of my biggest complaints with Android is within the Gmail app. When you reply to a message, you can choose to include or exclude the original text. Fine. But what I really like to do is EDIT this text. Why I do is irrelevant, but here goes. I hate huge e-mail threads, so what I like to do is edit this original text and only leave the message I'm replying to and delete everything under it. Both iOS and webOS let you do this. Android doesn't, but I figured the king of e-mail would have this flexibility. I haven't found a way. :
UPDATE: Already answered fully.
SYSTEM:
(7) Is there a way to rename the system folders in the app launcher (or whatever this is called), for example "Social Networking" and "Instant Messaging"? Hiding these and creating new ones with the name I want would be a workaround, but I couldn't pick the same icons, since those aren't available.
(8) Are the hybrid ROMs I see in different forums frowned upon by RIM? Palm, for example, has been extremely friendly with the webOS homebrew community, incorporate many of the homebrew apps in the official App Catalog and even some homebrew patches in more recent O/S updates. Are these ROMs stable for the most part? Relatively safe, meaning you can usually "undo" them if something goes wrong? I miss the xda ROMs for Android devices and the hundreds of extremlly useful patches on webOS, which really modify the entire behavior of the O/S.
(9) I feel RIM will make a BB6 upgrade available for the the Bold 9650, since the device was recently released. Would you agree? I saw they recently teased on Twitter about a list of upgradeable devices, but I don't think they have released this yet.
UPDATE: Already answered, plus this is speculation.
(10) Is there a way (keyboard shortcut, third party app) to take a screenshot? From my searches, it seems there's nothing native, but applications like ZonaSnap, CaptureIt and QuickLaunch should do the trick. Is there concensus as in which one is the best? UPDATE: I gave ZonaSnap a try and like it, but could use the feedback. All phones should come with a native keyboard shortcut for screenshots. iOS does, webOS does, Android doesn't.
(11) I assume both voice and data would work on an unlocked 9650 with either a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM card. Now, will data be 3G on AT&T or would it be only EDGE? The 9650 has only one WCDMA band (2100), whereas the AT&T Bold 9000 uses 850, 1900 and 2100.
Through Dictionary.com I downloaded Word of the Day. Works very cool. Wondering if anyone else uses this free app?? I had to actually go to their website Any tricks to automatically update? It also looks like you can have it set to SMS... maybe this is their auto update?
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy s6 got wet in the rain yesterday. First it said it was too cold to charge and now it's saying it's too hot. I've put it into safe mode.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had my galaxy s6 edge for a few months and I love it. Just recently, though, I have been experiencing some issues. My phone gets very hot and a notification pops us that says "Closing apps to cool down", all of my unnecessary apps close and then my home-screen image changes to the default. This has happened about 3 times and I am wondering if it may be a defect in my phone. Ever since this issue started my battery life has been terrible it only lasts about 6-7 hours. I wipe cache pretty much every week and I am on Verizon.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis isn't specific to the D2, but with the proliferation of Android phones and now tablets, app development is expanding exponentially.I'd tried a couple of apps recently that were different from those many used when the original Droid appeared over a year and a half ago.And I have to say, things have changed.Here are a couple of apps I really like from the same developer(s).And, they're FREE with no ads.I know everyone has used Handcent, but this one in my opinion is well worth looking at.Very customizable, with pop-ups and reminders. url..
GO Launcher EX - A great home screen alternative app.i know everyone has tried Launcher Pro, GW Home and all the others, some free and others paid, but this one is the best in my opinion.There's a lot to figure out, but once you do you'll really be impressed. Customizable, scrolling shortcut bar, up to seven screens, pinch and expand to show screen thumbnails and slick action.It even supports the scrolling widgets as made by PURE (like the PURE Messenger widget I used for e-mail).All for free. url...GO Contacts - A very slick alternative contact and dialer app with lots of tricks. You can include phone contacts, Google Contacts, SIM card contacts and all sorts of options.Definitely worth the price of admission (FREE). What have you got to lose? url...
Easy Reminder - Not by the same developers as the above apps, but another favorite of mine for repeat reminders for calls, texts and such.Works great and free too. url...
Discovered something annoying today - the touch screen doesn't respond when it gets even slightly cold. It's 46F here today and during my short run, the screen stopped responding to touch. After coming indoors for just a minute or so, it's working fine.I couldn't stop my workout right away, though, so my measurements are off - that's the annoying bit. Has anyone had similar issues?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a Motorola Backflip that I updated to 2.1-update1 awhile back. A few weeks ago I installed Webroot Security for Android 1.6.13.296. It currently has definition set 125.(I've been using Webroot Spy Sweeper on my PC for several years without issues.)I ran a scan a couple of days ago and Webroot reported an "Application Threat" called "Cool Down Mode". It wants me to "remove" the threat.I Googled "Cool Down Mode" and it appears that it is a built-in application that came with the phone. If it's actually a virus I'm happy to remove it, but if it's a built-in application used to keep my phone from overheating I think I want to keep it.I went to Webroot support and asked about it.

Now this is speaking from a DEVELOPER point of view. Would you like to see iPhone exclusivity stop? To me, yes, obviously, because this means the App Store can be in more hands, and my apps can have a MUCH larger audience. Yes I know there is a lot of market share already, but look at VZW, T-Mob etc and if we got their eyes on our apps. you should be able to fill in the rest. What do you think from a developer point of view?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo, I am based in UK and managed to "Reserve and collect" a 32gb iPhone 4g. However, on my confirmation e-mail, at the bottom, it says:
Pre-authorization does not guarantee iPhone availability at an Apple Retail Store. iPhone is sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Your reservation is valid for pick-up only at the Apple Retail Store that you selected. If you do not collect your selected item on the specified date, your reservation will be cancelled and the item will be returned to stock.
My dilema is it's going to take me 2+ hours and lots of expense to get to the store on the 24th, the last thing I want to do is turn up at lunch time (about when i'd finally arrive) to find out they've sold mine / sold out.
what does it mean when itunes says " This iphone cannot be used because the Apple mobile device service is not started?

We have purchased SSL Certificates from verisign to do 802.1x authentication. However when attempting to connect I still receive the "Not Trusted" Certificate message. In testing I have e-mailed all of the seperate certs to myself to see for sure which one in the chain is not trusted. I find that the Root Certificate "Verisign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5" dated 11/7/2006 to 7/16/2036 is the one that mis matches the one in on my phone. I read that the key for the cert http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5012 doesnt match the one directly from Verisign therefore verisign cert isnt trusted.
