My question is about Bluetooth and using in privacy mode? On my old S3 and my wife's S5 and her old iPhone we were able to turn the phone off the Bluetooth speakers on the car and use it as a hand held device if we wanted to (ie holding it up to your ear to hear instead of using the cars speakers and mic). (I drive with my kids in the car and often can't hear a darn thing unless the phone is right up on my ear).
I have my phone synced with a 2011 Ford Expedition. Somehow I turned on the bluetooth privacy mode so I can't use the handsfree with the vehicle. I don't know if it was turned on via the phone or vehicle. how to turn privacy mode off?
On the Android Motoactv app on my Droid Razr, under Motoactv device settings, I have unchecked 'Text Privacy Mode' because I want to see the full text of each SMS on my Motoactv screen. But for some reason, later when I go back to the app on my phone, Text Privacy Mode is checked again.
Have had my S5 for 8mos, it's an unlocked Rogers phone on Bell network, working well. Recently bought new car, 2014 Civic EX, and trying to use "car mode."
When bluetooth not in use, it works great... voice command "Hi Galaxy" wakes it up, voice activated messages/calls sent/placed seamlessly. But, as soon as I connect to bluetooth device, it doesn't work! At first thought it was something to do with bluetooth system in my car, but connecting to my old blueant headset does same thing, as does connecting to my friend's car.
Saying Hi Galaxy will change the display to speak now with red mic symbol, but the audible beep that prompts you to say voice command is absent, and the phone doesn't recognize any voice commands at all. After ~ 4 seconds, the display reverts back to say "Hi Galaxy." I have looked through all settings I could think might have an impact on it's function, but can't get it to work.
I share my computer (Windows XP) with other people (family) and we use the same user account. One of the users has a Nokia phone (6300) and uses the PC suite to backup contacts and messages. But we can't find a way to restrict access to this data. Every user may access the PC Suite and browse the contacts (bad) and even messages (bad³).Is there a way to set a password for the PC suite?
can anybody advise me if it is possible (or if there is an app) to activate Bluetooth in offline mode on the N900? This was a feature available on my old E90 and N96 models and was very useful when all you wanted to do was enjoy wireless music through (Nokia's excellent) BH-905 headphones.
I have a N97 (with Orange french provider) and I have 2 questions regarding bluetooth:
1/ can I link the activation of bluetooth to the activated mode? I mean I want to activate automatically the bluetooth when I'm in "General" mode and when I'm in "Meeting" mode, I want to cut off automatically. Is there a way?
2/ My N97 is well recognized by my car bluetooth system and the phone connection works well. I can also listen the music stored on my phone but I can not change the current album, or artist. I can not even play/stop listening through my car commands. I need to use my phone device for all these things. Is it normal?
My blackberry bold keyboard is locked and it will not let me type my password?There is a blue light in the upper right corner of the phone indicating it's in blue tooth mode. Any way to help unlock keyboard to change settings?
Several mobile operating systems have become a problem when concerned with users' privacy. iPhone apps send information back to media analysis companies, including users' location and personal details; Web OS sends user information and location back to Palm; and Android, well - it's so tied up with Google that you just can't ignore the possible privacy implications.Which leaves us, for a smartphone, with Blackberry and Symbian (considering Maemo isn't available in my area and Bada isn't out yet).Is there any sort of user tracking, data collection or privacy violation in the Symbian platform that you are aware of, by Nokia or by 3rd party software developers?
I have already had 5 different Nokia mobiles but that one feels incomplete. I miss some messaging options like:
- choosing not to save automatically all sent messages in the Sent Items folder
- how to get rid of the Recently Used folder when choosing a contact to whom send a message or at least being able to manually delete contacts in that same folder
- when receiving a message I don't want the name of the contact who has sent it to be shown on the home screen. I just need to be notified of the reception of the message.
I have Sprint Bold 9930. I have set to not accept cookies.However it appears they are still on, as my last activities on each site is still indicated each time i visit. except if i do a battery pull, but if it is not accepting cookies, what is tracking my usage etc and how do i turn off. I have deleted history, deleted all data and pulled battery.
I'm having an issue with accessing my privacy settings on my Iphone 5. Every time i click on privacy, my phone freezes for a few seconds and crashes back to the home screen. Sometimes it will stay frozen on the home screen till i reboot it.
My Z3 is acting up. My Bluetooth and Airplane mode will turn on automatically and when I turn my phone on, sometimes my messaging will be open with words like: awsdt jgtuio gods. Also, today my Facebook opened on it's own and was going to post letters like above on it.
Last night, I saw an article about driving mode and thought I'd set it up on my 1020 to try it out. (It would let me stop notifications of texts while I'm driving, but still take Bluetooth calls.)
Today, my phone wouldn't connect to my car's Bluetooth. I decided to disable driving mode as it was obviously causing the problem, but the on/off option was greyed out.
Eventually, after a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, I decided the only option was to reset the phone to go back to driving mode not being set up. You can imagine what a hassle that was. But the phone still doesn't recognise my car, or, it seems, any other Bluetooth devices.
It is galling, because my new car (a Mini Cooper) doesn't have a Cd player, so Bluetooth is the only way I can play music.
When trying to allow viber to access the microphone in privacy settings, the appĀ does not appear for me to allow them permission so I cannot allow permission....! why and what to do?
I have a problem with Bluetooth. I usually use stamina mode. When I off Bluetooth, it's automatically switch on after some time. It's annoying to switch off it again. It happens many time per day.
I've been getting Bluetooth input lag when using mirror mode. I have a RII Mini Mouse/Keyboard combo which lags as soon as Mirror Mode is activated. The Mouse/Keyboard works perfectly outside of Mirror Mode. I also tried a logitech mouse (mouse only) and had the same choppy/laggy results. I tried both the RII and Logitech with wifi off, again with 4G off and again with both wifi and 4G off. This did not improve results.
I am using a mini HDMI to standard HDMI cable to connect to my monitor and TV. I get the same results on both screens. I have also tried at different battery levels with the charger connected and disconnected. This happens every time I choose something from "Select Dock Type". If I dismiss that prompt after connecting HDMI i do not have the lag (prompt is dismissed by hitting home or back button when prompted). If I do choose a dock type the lag starts and does not stop until i disconnect HDMI.
In this intermediate energy conservation mode for the PHONE not for accessories. The Bluetooth radio would be left powered DOWN in this mode and would only be powered up when needed/on-demand. For PLACING a call, it would require the call be ORIGINATED from the PHONE, as opposed to from the earpiece, or handsfree (the bluetooth headset/ handsfree/ accessories would be left on). As for receiving a call, it would HAVE to be answered through the phone.When in the intermediate bluetooth power conservancy mode, the phone would powerup the bluetooth, and do a quick search for a preferred-paired bluetooth device immediately preceding connecting the call. I do not mind the fact that when in this Bluetooth power conservancy mode one would have to interact with the phone to answer a call, since most of the time i want to SEE who's calling anyway i do not use caller ID text to speech/announcement anyway as i do not like it from a privacy standpoint
Please allow me to set bluetooth connection priority preference.Would be cool if simply re-ordering the list of paired BECKY TRIPP devices, would create a connection preference order.create a means to individually set each PAIRED bluetooth device with a trust level Meaning, if i pair my Atrix with my home computer, and i send a file from my home computer to my Atrix via Bluetooth, i'd like to be able to have set a per-device preference that would allow me to tell the Atrix to unquestioningly, and with user prompting, (there can be a Notice of the incoming file) accepth the file and download it to the default Bluetooth directory (or to my downloads directory).it would also be cool to be able to set system-wide defaults for where various downloaded media are stored based on the media type e.g. music files go to audio/music directory, videos go to vid directoty, documents go to Documents dir etc etc..
I'm trying to delete the trial version of Kaspersky Mobile Security from my E71. The message I'm getting after starting the deletion process from the application manager is: "Before uninstalling KMS 9.0, disable Encryption and Privacy Protection."where on Earth do I do these seemingly simple tasks? I have not been able to do either task and I have a feeling it is a ridiculously simple process. I'm admittedly new to Nokia E71 smartphones and fully understand this is blatant operator failure on my end. I seem to be getting in a loop on the FAQ and other means of resolution.
On my old Samsung phone I had a 'Privacy Lock' feature where I could password protect content such as messages, contacts ect. url...How do I do similar on the Nokia e52? I can't seem to find anything. Is there a free / paid app that I can use?
Skype was working okay, but today, when I tried to call someone from my phone, it said i had to allow skype to use the mic, but I had already done that. I still went to privacy settings, but no apps showed up there. But on the camera, while I had multiple apps that use it, none showed up either. In fact, tthe only privacy setting working right was location services!
