Android birthday alert and contact request synchro...

Please add the option to disable birthday alert for the Android app, like in Windows.
Also contact request doesn't seem to synchronize well sometimes, eg. if you are logged in to both PC and mobile, and accept a contact request on PC, the request will still be shown on mobile.

pls fix!!!!!!!!!!

How can I transfer Android ringtones, alerts and messages to my iPhone 5c?

I just got a new iPhone 5c and I want to be able to use my Android ringtones, messages and alerts on it. How do I transfer them in iTunes? It did transfer the ones that are actually music but not the others, the main ones I use.
Also is there an app that will announce who is actually calling you, by name? or sending a message? Like "new message from Chelsea"? "Call from Zac"? I got used to hearing these that I am missing it on the new phone.
I do have an iPad mini so I'm not an extreme newbie but I never had my messages come through on it.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Unwanted IMs and Contact requests

Hello,
I'm receiving contact requests and IMs from strangers.
I've double checked all my privacy settings and they are all set to "receive from contacts only".
Where else can I go? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Same here.. .apparently skyp doenst give a flip about it...
Ive asked this question 20 times (usually under other names per it was actually per clients..
This is the first ever under my own id.
I regularly have to deny 'requests' twice a week and at times more.
I currently have hundreds of requests blocked.. Im getting tired of it...
Unfortunatley skype is the only way I have to contact certain friends who are using skype as a workaround per them not being able to afford regular phone use, but have nearly unlimited internet options.
But this particular issue, as soon as skype gets competition, if not already... Im gone.
I had hoped skype workalikes would do it, but they mainly are skype passthrus.
I relize I can make myself invisible and that likely solves the problem.
BUt I need those who are my contacts to see that I am in fact online.
So while invisible might do... its not realistic....to me thats a fake workaround.
Contacts should be able to see you if they are contacts...period, even if invisible

Unsolicited calls and contact requests - mostly fr...

Although I have had all "contact me" options blocked for all users except those in my contact list, I get several contact requests every day - typically from people purporting to be women from Ghana, Africa. The town given is usually Kumasi - though often with another country. South Afrioca figures highly too. I suspect that these are the same person or persons, who repeatedly use different ID's and acocunts. For the past six months or so i have always blocked and reported abuse on the4se, but they keep coming. Is there no way for a user to block unsolicted calls from a given geographical area? Is there no skype "contact us" link anymore? Where does on complain about this? Ideas and suggestions please!

I have the same problem. I've checked my privacy settings many times and changed to allow calls and IM from contacts only, but each time I come back to privacy settings it is set to "anyone". I even tried to uninstall and install skype, didn't help.
I would also appreciate if I could contact support team at Skype somehow to check my account settings...
I'm not sure of what the logic behind this procedure, but actual responses from users who tried it confirm that it works.
Please switch your status to offline for at least a minute, then switch back to online. Then change your privacy settings to see if they will stick this time.

How do I turn off iPod birthday alerts?

I keep getting birthday alerts on my iPod Classic, which are not useful at all. I want to stop all birthday alerts, and I have turned them off in the Calendar app, but my iPod keeps on showing them to me. How do I stop this?

The answer I got to turning off the job status was that hp had not control over sending. Yet each of the replies still says you can turn them off. Absurd reasoning for hp

I entered birthdays into address contacts and then to ical. now I can not get ical to let me set a email alert as it says it is a readable calander only. How do I correct this?

What is your operating system? Reader version? Is this a local or online PDF? If online, in what browser?

Hi
In BO 4.0 SP 9 when a administrator tries to schedule a report via CMC there is no error
But when a user schedules a report and the destination is FTP location -> Use default settings he gets following error
Destination disabled. []: [CrystalEnterprise.Ftp]. Please note the name of the job server used for your request and contact your system administrator to make sure the specified destination is enabled. (FWB 00031)
There is only one Job Server and the destinations are enabled in it
There is no Job server for Crystal Reports Job Server
Do i need to create it and how.

Please check if you have proper rights to schedule to FTP. You can create a new job server, whenever you schedule it, there are multiple job servers, it will handle based on the load. But it is not mandatory, depends on the load.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
Thanks

Hi,
I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
Best wishes

If you don't use MobileMe then there is no point moving to iCloud.

BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
BUGS
(Not listed in any particular order)
(A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
(B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
(C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
(D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
(E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
(F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
(G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
(H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
(I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
(J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
(K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
(In no particular order)
1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.

Syncing contacts with Facebook and contact visualization in dialer

Hi,
I have spent a lot of time trying to sync and consolidate my contacts from Google and Facebook. I did have a couple of issues however and I am looking for advise.
1) Contact photo from Facebook are very low res and blurry.
- Xperia with Facebook account has the both contact & calrendar sync checked, and sync has completed, but no photos are synched.
- Facebook account has retreived the photo from Facebook, but it is extremely low-res and very blurry.
2) Is there a way - after linking a google contact to a Facebook one to quickly copy or merge (selected) Facebook contact details (like photo, birthday, phone number, email or address) into the Google contact.
3) Once I select a phone number as primary is there a way to see in the dialer (using T9 search) only the default phone number. Currenlty I may see a mobile phone from Facebook, another mobile phone from Google, and maybe a couple of other phones, and everytime I search for this contact directly in the dialer I need to remember and choose which number to dial.
So far the only resolution seems to be to switch back to exDialer, which would be a shame since this is my only complaint from the Xperia dialer.
4) Is there a way to backup the link between the google and facebook contacts? Is there a way to backup which phone number, email or address is default? Both of these are not preserved in google contacts, so everytime I reset or change phones I need to start all over.
I am looking for your advice and best practices and thank you in advance!!

OK, so after spending some time for research here are my findings:
1) Synching contact pics from Facebook to Android contacts: Facebook and Xperia with Facebook accounts do not work. As a workaround I have used Contacts+ application from the Google Play store, it works as expected.
2) Merging Facebook contact info (pic, phone number, email, birthday) to google contacts - have not found a way to automate or, best, semi-automate this just yet. Easiest manual option - view a contact, long press the phone/email/birthday, then edit the contact and paste. Will not work for the contact pic though.
3) Show a single record for the contact in the dialer and remember the default phone - Xperia dialer cannot do this, Contacts+ and exDialer can be used as a replacement though.
4) Backup the Google to Facebook link & the default selection for phone number, email, address in case of a hard reset or transfer between phones - no complete solution found yet, need to review more contact backup apps. At least one can edit the names of the google contacts so that they are spelled as in Facebook to make a future matches quick & more fluent.

Contact requests not coming to me (on my windows m...

I am using Skype on my Windows 8 machine and my Android and my Mac.
When I get contact requests they dont show up on my Windows account.
The only workaround I have found is to open Skype on my Android and accept the invitation (which is not a big hassle, but Skype... come on! This is over 2 years now).

Yes. I'd suggest changing your VzW passcode ASAP. There are multiple threads on this forum about these scams; they differ in the amount of credit and the web site (although the amount of credit and website are usually the same number, in this case 37). The only web site that VzW uses is www.verizonwireless.com
