I will admit I am in no way a techie, but I'm not too much of an idiot either (at least on good days!).I currently have an iPhone. My husband got it for me because I love my Mac and wanted a phone that would sync my music, calendar and contacts with minimal frustration.However, the iPhone is more than I really need and AT&T's coverage is horrendous in my area.I am thinking of switching to Verizon and I believe the Samsung Reality would suit my needs as a phone.Does anyone know if I will be able to get it to cooperate with my Mac?I am not averse to work-around and third party apps as long as they come with clear technophobe friendly instructions.Any information or suggestions would be welcome.
Double-click to start install, this will install the USB drivers
IMPORTANT: When the drivers are done installing, the main installer for VZW Access Manager will present its first window, CANCEL out of the install at this point.
You will now have the USB drivers for modem and composite USB device.
(BitPim will detect the phone as "Other CDMA Phone," but will not provide access to the file system. Still looking for software that can use the drivers to actually access the file system.)
I've been Googling to try to find an adapter or cable to connect to the internal antenna port on the PCB, but I don't know what the industry terminology for such a connector is, so I don't even know what to Google. Can someone tell me what I need and/or point me to a site where I can buy it? My phone has no external antenna port and an inductive adapter/cradle is not good enough. Yes, I will be very careful and provide strain relief, etc., when I hook it up.
I just purchased a Reality U820. I upload an Mp3 to My Music on the phone. Anyone know how I can this file to be set as a ringtone? It is a file I created so it is not copyrighted.
I just got my kid a Samsung Evergreen with AT&T. It doesn't have a 3.5mm headphone jack - just the microUSB port.On her previous phone - which had a miniUSB port - I had bought a miniUSB to 3.5mm headphone adapter and it worked fine. Before buying a microUSB to 3.5mm adapter, I wanted to test with a mini-to-micro adapter that I have. So the connection is headphones to 3.5mm jack to miniUSB to microUSB to Evergreen. But the sound played through the speakerphone!Would a microUSB to 3.5mm adapter work?
The first time I tried to use it it did work (unfortunately I couldn't see how to turn it off and turned the entire phone off to stop the alarm). Since then after playing around with it quite a bit and a visit to the shop I just can't get the alarm to work. I can't see anything is turned off or down.
Every time I set an alarm, it goes off, but complelty silent. I keep my phone on mute at night because I don't want to hear anything. But the Alarm, used to go off even though on mute. Here what I've done so far.
Settings > Sound and Notification> Application Notifications > Clock > Priority (Set to On) Settings > Sound and Notification> Application Notifications > Interruptions Sound Mode = Mute Set priority interruption period: Here, I selected every day, and start time of 12:00AM and a End time of 11:59PM.
I thought these settings would cover me, but the Alarm still, does not sound. How to get the Alarm working when the phone is set on Mute Mode?
not sure if what i am trying to do is possible, but it has kept me busy. I have a functioning htc touch diamond, and an older a920. i believe i have extracted all the usable info on the diamond esn. etc. I am trying to get the a920 to work when my diamond is shut off, and vice versa....am i looking up a dead horses a$$, or is this possible.
I have read stuff where people are doing this right now, and other posts saying it is impossible. I want the truth! I am ready to switch to Cricket anyways because I'm tired of paying $90 month for verizon when I can get the same stuff from Cricket for half, but I'm dreading both buying a Cricket phone and losing my Omnia (i900). I asked at the retail store if I got it unlocked could I use it since both are CDMA carriers and the guy didn't seem too informed. Also, another store rep told me that some markets were able to do that but my market (DC/Northern VA) would not support a verizon flashed phone. So what's the truth? If I get it unlocked can I get it to work on Cricket?
I just got a Samsung Moment. Previous phone, a Palm Pre, connected to my WiFi without a single problem. Just typed in the password once and from then on it never gave me trouble. But the Moment wouldn't work with WiFi at all for the longest time. It would see the network and let me type in the password, but the WiFi status would always say "Disconnected" and there was never an icon in the notification area. Finally I managed to get it working by switching my router from mixed mode to 802.11g only (it's a combination DSL modem/router, made by Actiontec, with 802.11b and 802.11g). Now it seems to work perfectly. I was just wondering if anyone else had similar problems, perhaps with mixed mode g/n? Maybe it's just my router, but I'm curious. At least I didn't have to make any sacrifices other than disabling 802.11b, which I don't need anyway.
I have my car paired with my S2 Bluetooth. The other day I connected the speaker out on the S2 to the audio-in on the car stereo. I received a call while listening to an audio book on the phone. The car muted the audio in and answered the call. I could not hear the person calling. I think the phone was trying to send the sound out the speaker rather than the Bluetooth. When I don't have the phone speaker connected, Bluetooth works correctly.
I have a T-Mobile galaxy S II. not rooted or anything fancy. About a month ago I noticed that the four bottom buttons Search, back, home and menu. I tried turning it off and back on, taking the battery out and all that. However randomly they turned back on. They worked for a few days then did it again. It has been doing it on and off all month. A few times I was able to get them to come back on by shutting it off and plugging it in and turning it back on. Now that's not working at all. Iv done a factory reset still not able to get them back on. Now I can see that when I turn off the phone it goes to the t-mobile good bye screen then the lights blink for a sec then shut off. I've tried to do the *#1234# thing and it says its running the ussd scan but then says the process can not be processed.
I've had this phone for 3 weeks. When I turned it on this morning it no longer was able to make noises from its external speaker. I missed a call because the phone didn't play the ring tone. I also noticed it doesn't work with speaker phone and pandora does not play music. I tried a factory reset from the settings - privacy menu but it didn't resolve the issue. I have sprint and the phone was purchased from newegg.
I don't believe it! after an hour it randomly started making noises again.. I didn't change a single setting since I gave up an hour ago. Is this thing going to be intermittantly reliable? I mean I have not touched a single thing on the phone and suddenly it started working correctly.
Someone reported that GPS does not work in the area when there is no phone signal... I am not able to test it because I live in an area where Verizon coverage is very good. One thing I know for sure is if I turn the phone radio off, it also turn off GPS.
What 'features' work with this phone if the Internet is diabled? I don't have a data plan and don't want a huge bill by leaving it connected. What is with the melody fading in when you set the phone not to do so... The ring tone choices are not great, am i able to add my own or buy one with out internet? I still don't think I like this phone as much as most people here do!
iv disabled some apps that i didn't think was important how wrong was I the thing is i cant put my password in now because the keypad wont appear when i tap or touch the screen.
Never had KIES installed, my usb ports work fine, I tested them, my cable works fine. checked the Media Device (MTP) still doesn't work... deleted and re-installed AFT multiple times, i still get the "Could not connect to device. Try reconnecting or restarting your device"
I'm having trouble unlocking my samsung bebold from tmobile to put on the rogers network in canada. I did get an unlock code fro tmobile with instructions but it doesn't work!! I really want to use my phone.
Ive been trying to set up the wireless mobile hotspot to work with my laptop. I can get my laptop to connect to the hotspot and authenticate ok but its status never progresses past 'local only' so I have no access to the internet. I cant see anything wrong with my settings either phone or laptop side, and USB tethering works fine.
Has anyone had any experience using an i9000 in Canada on either of the three big networks (Bell, Rogers and Telus)? What I need to know is if it'll work well in HSDPA mode given that it only has one (1900) of the two required Canadian HSDPA bands (850 and 1900). What bothers me it that it looks like the one Bell is launching (the "Vibrant") has only two HSDPA bands instead of three, and I really need the European band as well (2100). Hence Bell's Vibrant won't work in HSDPA mode in Europe.
So I connected my Bell Vibrant to my Win7 X64 PC via Bluetooth, and all sorts of funny issues happen when attempting to control dialing from my PC, and use my computer as a speakerphone. To begin with, the "Hangup" button doesn't work, plus whenever I press the "Connect" button to "Use this computer as a headset or speakerphone for calls on your phone (Galaxy S)," the phone starts dialing the number written in the "Make a call to this number:" field (when there's a number written there--otherwise it would start dialing the latest dialed number) without my having to press the "Connect" button. Ain't that funny? Anyone else going through this?
not much difference in the galaxy family that i can imagine (although i haven't dug around to know exactly) but besides the fact that there is no where to place the stylus on the S2, will the stylus or "S - Pen" as i've read it called work with the phones? or is there something more technical involved that will not allow this to work? and if it does work, where do you buy one (or two or three as replacements) ;-)
Droid Turbo (Android Version 5.1) - WIFI works fine at home and seems to work other places. I have been using it for months at work. Recently I cannot connect. Other people can still connect. I had the connection saved...but even tried deleting it and researching, but it won't locate the server.
work just implemented a new censoring program that blocks sites like Internet and facebook. now i can't access those sites through the bb browser. is there any way to bypass going through work's censors and just get content directly from the web?
I updated my N97, and after that my phone did not work properly, the old version was 2.0 and the new is 2.1, the charging light did not work and i get black screen when i turn my phone on.
