Flash on smart phones
Does anyone know if smartphone like the Samsung Chat or the iPhone is going to support Flash in the future. These days everybody looks at internetsites on their phone and I think building a flash based website is not very smart to do. How do you think about all this?
The only folks who know if the devices you mention will ever support Flash are the folks who make those decisions. I doubt anybody here is one of them. Maybe you should find forums in their respective websites, and post your questions there.
You make the claim that everyone is looking at internet sites using handheld devices. I do not think this is true, though it might be true of you and your associations. If there were a poll taken, that shows otherwise, my guess would be that Apple and/or Samsung conducted it. I tend to believe that most people have a PC (or equivalent), and if they have a handheld device it is for portable use, primarily as a phone.
I think whoever buys the devices that do not support Flash get less than what they paid alot for. It is a choice they hopefully knowingly make. The bottom line on whether or not to design a web site usng Flash is the audience. If the intention is to catch the interest of folks on the go that want to quickly get in and out of a site via their Flash-less iDevices (before their battery runs out), then they certainly need to be catered to, but these users are but a portion of the using world. And they can be catered to with alternative content in the same source, meaning Flash detection can be used to alllow alternative content to be presented in the absence of Flash.

How can I build Flash for Smart phone etc.
Hi all,
Can I use a preexisting Flash file for a Smart phone, even though the size is different? Or do I have to recreate the file? What is the best dimension to use?
Many thanks.
HDsuperglideYes, you can. Take a look at the new features in CS5.5 for cross-device authoring here. This includes resizeing entire FLA files for different screen sizes.

Flash animation doesnt work on smart phone?
I created a flash animation for my website banner. When I open the site on my laptop it works completely fine, but it seems not to work when I browse the website using my smart phone. Is there anything I did wrong?
Thank you!If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane. -

Recently got a new smart phone and when asked for password was stumped. Set up wireless router years ago for other systems in the house and remember using a flash drive to get them to connect to the router. Picking up a Nook from the post office today and know I'm going to face the same problem when it comes to get it connected to my wireless. Is there a way to go about changing password or retreiving my old one from when I set it up??
What is your router? Here are some steps you can check. HTH

I bought a Droid Bionic Smart Phone. I loved it so very much. When I was on it and install kept coming up, over & over. I Don't know what it was called but I did look and it didn't say Verizon anywhere but I assumed w/my Lookout security app it wouldn't let anything bad in. But I downloaded it now my icons are different and on my manage apps I use to have only maybe 20 settings now I have a bunch. and the lil icon looks like a blue square app w/the lil cog looking symbol in it. Everytime I try to delete one thinking it will go back to the way it was it says it will cause problems w/all other settings. And also after the icom it says com.motorola.android.deep it says that on about 20 or 25 after the icon.It won't let me disable any of them.
The very 1st icon on my Apps on ,y Apps setting is the blue symbol that looks like a cog, and it has 32.00KB if I try to disable that because I figure it's the mother of all of them it says in a pop up...Disable built -in app-----If you disable a built in app, other apps may misbehave.? That doesn't sound very professional to me.One even says key chain for the app. I don't know what to do. I did look at it and I assumed when it popped up it was a legit thing. I didnt know you had to beware of something that was a pop up on the page.
I don't know if it's a Gingerbread or Ice Cream thing, I just know when I go to my settings it has overtaken 3/4th of my apps. And on most of them it doesny even offer me the chance or choice to disable it. Please somebody help me. I am so new to this. I loved my phone before now it's taken Over everything. I am scared if I run some of the things I see it says on my settings app it runs my phone,it says for instance:
Permission
This App can access the following on your phone
*YOUR LOCATION
coarse (network-based) location,fine (GPS) location
*SYSTEM TOOLS
modify global system settings
STORAGE
SYNC SERVICE
I dont know what any of this is and it says if I stop of close any of it , it will cause the app to fail.
How can I tell what I have downloaded as far as this whole montrosity....SO I can study it and read up what to do. I do't want to lodr my pictures or my pictures on my gallery/ I am afraid I have really screwed it up good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THANK ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP ME IN ADVANCE....Follow this link for the Bionic ICS user guide; if you have issues/questions, you may want to do a search on this forum as there are already several threads/remedies. If a search doesn't answer your question, submit a post.

My yahoo e-mail is not pushing to my iPhone4, again. Had this same problem for several weeks in October/November 2011. It's been a problem again for two weeks now. My kids and husband have three other types of smart phones, and none of them have had this problem. I'm NOT impressed. I've seen that others in the iPhone community have also been having this problem. Is Apple doing anything about it?

My new Ipad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of reception. In the same location, my Windows 7 PC and Andorid Smart phone can connect to the same WIFI without any issues. How can I fix it? Without WIFI, the WIFI only IPAD is nearly useless. If it cannot be fixed, can I get a replacement for IPad 2?
Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. If defective, you'll get a replacement.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

I have an old mpg video file, taken with a very early model "smart phone", that opens and plays fine in my newly "rebuilt" iPhoto library. I cannot open, edit it or share it with any other software. How can I fix it, to be able to do anything with it?
Detail:
I've recently purchaced a 4TB Thunderbolt drive to store my "vast" music and photo libraries. iPhoto had an issue reading the moved library, so I bought and used iPhoto Library Manager to "rebuild" it. Apart from much of the original data such as date taken & camera used etc, it appears to be working well. The aforementioned mpg video was taken some 9 years ago, using an early model "iMate" smart phone, and opens and plays fine on iPhoto, but I cannot open it with anything else, (I've tried iMovie, VLC players, Wondershare and Handbrake) nor can I share it. I just want to edit it, and share it with family.
Any help would be appreciated...No - not iMovie, VLC, Wondershare or Handbrake... Quick time starts with a "CONVERTING", then I get
I've looked at the "tell me more" links, tried downloading some of the movie players there. I'm begining to think the file is corrupt.
Thanks for getting back to me again though - appreciate it... -
Can I transfer Tungsten E2 data to a new Palm Pre 2 smart phone?
I'm looking to upgrade from a Palm Tungsten E2 + an old cell phone to one device - a new smart phone. I have Verizon, and they offer the Palm Pre 2. The question is whether I will be able to transfer my address book and calendar (and a few other items) from my Tungsten E2 onto the new phone. I also have a 3rd party cookbook and a shopping list application that I would love to transfer too. Not holding out much hope for those though.
If anybody has any reviews of the Palm Pre 2 phone I'd love to hear those too!
Thanks!
Post relates to: Tungsten E2No, I don't use Outlook to synch. I've always synched with the Palm desktop s/w. I've considered synching to Outlook, but I wasn't sure if my E2 could synch the memos and to do apps as well. Thanks. My Palm desktop s/w ver is 4.1.4.

I have purchased my first smart phone, an iphone 5. I would like to use some of the sounds from text messages for ringtones but don't know how to move them over. Any help would be appericated.
I'm sorry, had you already pointed out the rules which stated that lines from 2 separate accounts were eligible??? I don't see anywhere in the advertisement specifically stating that lines from 2 separate accounts would be eligible, so THAT is not what's advertised, either.
As far as I know Verizon's BOGO offers have ALWAYS been for lines on the same account. Possibly someone could chime in where they have received this offer on 2 separate accounts? The ONLY exception to this was someone getting the offer with 2 eligible lines on their account, reactivating the old phone on one of the lines and then giving one of the new phones to someone on another account.
Sorry if you think simply because someone disagrees with you, they are being condescending. That is certainly not the case. Good luck. -
Getting data into 4S from a different smart phone or Windows Outlook?
I didn't think it would be this hard. I was using a Windows mobile 6.5 smart phone syncing to Outlook in Bootcamp (or Parallels) on my MacBookPro. I assumed that I would be able to transfer all my pda data over. I went to the Apple store yesterday & talked to a set up person who only seemed to know about transferring contacts. Duh, this is a smart phone, not just a cell phone so there is a lot more in it than contacts.
So then I went to Genius bar where I was tended to by the head Genius. I had run a conversion on the calendar to mac compatible. So he imported that. But it seems to have lost all the exceptions to my recurring events--like a weekly event that isn't happening this week & next because of the holidays is still showing up. & not only that, its in twice.
I guess that may have happened when I ran the conversion program as it said something about exceptions that I didn't understand.
But now I'm thinking that, wait a minute, it says the iPhone can sync with Windows & Outlook. So now I"m thinking that maybe we should have set it up to sync with Outlook to get the calendar info in, & maybe the contacts as well.
As it is, it looks like I will have to go in & re-enter the calendar exceptions that I had carefully previously entered.
I'm wondering if I could just delete the calendar info in iCal and/or iPhone & go back & sync to Outlook, & then change it back to sync to the Mac side.
I have an Apple One to One on the iPhone this afternoon, but I want to use that to learn how to work the thing. Frustration right now in that I don't know how to do all the things that I knew so well on the old phone. So I want to learn how to use the basic functions I've already been used to useing, calendar, etc as well as getting used to typing on it. Not doing real well on that yet, lol. & I want to learn how to use Siri & reminders right away before a planned trip next week.
So any suggestions appreciated. Don't know if it would have been different in transferring data if I went to a Verizon store. & I also need to get my email set up. That I may be able to do myself since I've done it a few times on my old phone & different computers.OK, this confirmed somewhat, what I had realized overnight--after the Apple store did things the hard way. I didn't follow exactly what they were doing, but I asked for help with setup. & I told them that I had my data in OutlookWindows, which I thought I told them was in Bootcamp on my Mac.
But it seems that the one who did setup had a device that Verizon uses & which apparently is what they use when moving info from an old cell phone to a new one. & So he just brought over the contacts. In the process, the photos associated with them were lost. I'm not sure, maybe he asked me what I wanted to bring over, I'm not real sure, but I remember I mentioned I needed my contacts & my calendar but he seemed unsure how to get the calendar in.
Of course I had made the mistake of thinking that I needed to do it the way that I had gotten the earlier contacts in--but that was before I had the iPhone that could sync with the Mac so I had converted the data. So I wasn't thinking straight & it appears that neither were they.
I mean it seems that they were doing it like what Verizon used to do when switching from one cell phone to another--ones that didn't have pda type functions.
I mean, duh, when one is switching from one smart phone to another, it kind of seems a given that we want all our stuff brought over to the new device, especially when it can be done by syncing it over.
What I finally did today was that after my One to One appointment, I got back to back Genius bar appointments (after reading this solution that confirmed what I had been thinking--which was after I came out of the Verizon store where they got my email set up so I could see this notice) & asked if we could delete the messed up calendar & instead sync it in from Outlook.
So he did it by givng me step by step instructions. (below) & then he created a new calendar. Then he deleted the original one--this on my macbookpro--& then renamed the one Home.
These are the step by step instructions he gave me.
1. Download iTunes to Windows from iTunes.com, (I did this in Parallels which uses bootcamp running Win 7 as a virtual machine)
2. Open iTunes & plug in iPhone
3. click on left side on my phone
4. click on info tab at top--where personal info is
5. click sync all contacts
6. scroll to bottom under advanced (this was because I was only syncing calendars since the rest had already been brought over). So then I clicked on sync calendars
7. Hit apply button on bottom right.
then click on phone icon in iTunes to eject phone
Then do the same things on the Mac side except not using advanced, just a regular sync of calendar.
One other frustrating thing in all this is that I had an apple id, but had to change that to set up iCloud since it required an email address. So changed my ID, but same password. But then when iTunes wanted me to register or register my device, it said my password was invalid. They have slightly different rules for the password. Would have been nice if they were uniform so I don't have to change things twice!
I did it & it worked so now, I do have 2 calendars on my iPhone, but I guess I can delete one of them later.
But this brought the calendar events over the way I had entered them with the exceptions to the recurring events. That is the weekly events that don't happen some weeks due to holidays or other reasons. Those exceptions were recognized so those events that are not happening this week, properly now do not show up in my calendar. So I don't have to go back & re-enter the exceptions.
But I'm really disappointed that the Apple Store personnel who as part of the iPhone One to One training lists syncing with Outlok, didn't seem to even think of that as the best way to get pda data from Windows was not to pull it from the old phone, but instead to first sync the iPhone with Windows. Not sure what they tell those just using Windows computers.
