Great phone BUT! To much Google...

My present phone is a Razr Maxx HD and I love it. My wife uses the "M" and is totally happy with it. Motorola always have produced great phones and I intend to continue to use them. However, I am really getting fed up with the behind the scenes functions. A phone is a personal item. The least Google could do is default all of the backups to off. With Google+, Verizon BUA, Circle of friends, Picasa and God know which others, I am afraid to take a picture these days not knowing where it may end up. The one App I did enjoy, Motocast apparently rubbed Verizon wrong and it disappeared from the new phone. My phone directory looks different every day depending which "backup" chooses to update and I end up with numerous copies of everyone's listings.. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!

Actually no I didn't buy this phone. The insurance company couldn't replace my original Razr, (you know, the pre Google era model) so happily they sent me this one. Yes I bought Motorola and I will again. I know Motorola is now regrettably owned by Google. Your intended insight is well known by everyone so I can only take it as sarcasm.
I have owned Motorola products since they came with vacuum tubes. Something you most likely are too young to know about. They have always produced superior products and I doubt if Google will ever improve the quality.
I realize it is best to use one and not both backup methods. Which is what I was complaining about in the first place. The new phone came with all of this turned on by default leaving the user to search and muddle through the endless deep corners of the operating system to disable. The first thing this phone wanted to do was backup all 1047 pictures on my sim card to BUA. All while setting in the car using Verizon data. Luckily I caught it at picture 47. Google did it again that night but this time on Wi Fi.
Again, I have few issues with Google products. I have a problem when they do things on their own without letting the customer know. I bought and paid for my phone. It does not belong to Google and Verizon, (nor the NSA) to do with as they please. I thought perhaps mistakenly, that this site was a place to let them know. If so, Verizon, please give me back my Motocast.
Believe it or not, and other than that, I am a happy Motorola and Verizon customer and have been for quite some time.

Is there a way to make a video call from my iPhone 4 to a non apple phone? Also is it possible to transfer pics using bluetooth from iPhone to other company mobiles? Its a great phone but sometimes I feel struck inside it.

You'd need an app like Skype to video call with other phones.
Data transfer is not supported via bluetooth and iphone to iphone is not supported at all.

*** E51 GREAT PHONE BUT NEED A FIRMWARE UPDATE... ...

Hi
TO THE NOKIA FIRMWARE UPDATE STAFF:
I bought that great phone NOKIA E51 but it needs a FIRMWARE UPDATE because the built'in camera gives photo(and videos too!) in VERY VERY "green" color that's too bad (MY OLD 6630 , so only 1,3 megapixel is best in photo quality against my actually E51..!)
*** SO PLEASE REMOVE THE GREEN COLOR TENDENCY IN THE PHOTO! ***
ANOTHER AND LAST problem I have noticed during mine along E51 testing is the integrate REAL PLAYER VERSION has VERY VERY big problems during *MP4* VIDEO PLAYBACK (MP4 VIDEOS MADE ON PURPOSE FOR MOBILE), VIDEO APPEARS In jerks (ESPECIALLY IN FULL SCREEN!) And SOME TIME IT BLOCKS DURING PLAYBACK!
*** SO PLEASE A NEW VERSION OF REAL PLAYER IN THE NEXT E51 FIRMWARE ***
FOR ALL THE REST THE E51 PHONE IS GREAT AND PRICE TOO (200€ IN ITALY), I BELIVE IT'LL BE A BEST SELLER -BUT- ONLY IF THE PROBLEMS I LISTED ABOVE WILL BE CORRECTED!!
i got latest firmware version: 100.34.20

Hi,
I wrote to Nokia regarding this issue using the Nokia India site, and the Nokia for Business site. I also sent an email to [email protected]
Here is the text of the email:
Hi,
I bought my Nokia E51 four days back, and I am VERY happy with the
phone. However, I feel that there are some shortcomings with the
phone, which need to be addressed by firmware upgrades. I am listing
them here:
1) The camera has a VERY noticeable green tint
2) The video playback in full screen mode using RealPlayer is VERY
slow and choppy
3) In the "Missed Calls" part of the call log, there is NO way to
determine WHICH number of the contact was the call missed - "Mobile
Number", "Tel.(home)", "Tel.(office)" or what? The only way to
determine is to call back using the same screen, which is VERY
counterintuitive!
You can have a look at some more people agreeing with me here -
/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=14028
and the problem 3) described in detail here -
/discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&thread.id=15956
Apart from these 3 problems, I am VERY VERY happy with the E51 - it
lives up to all the promises it makes! Way to go, Nokia! I request you
to address those 3 issues as fast as possible!
Thanks and regards,
I request ALL other users of the phone to please contact Nokia similarly, to have these issues resolved ASAP. If someone can suggest more ways of contacting Nokia regarding this issue, please tell me! Thanks!

Z10 GREAT PHONE, BUT THEY HAVE TO IMPROVE THE FOLLOWING:

Soy un Blackberrista y apoyo la marca y sus productos. tengo un Z10 desere hace 4 dias y Blackberry debe MEJORAR / SOLUCIONAR lo siguiente: (OJALA ALGUIEN QUE PUEDA TENER POSIBILIDAD DE CAMBIOS TECNICOS EN SOFTWARE, LEA ESTO)
1- No puedo hacer llamadas desde la pantalla del BBM. Si alguien ha enviado mensaje y tengo un Chat, deberia poderse llamar desde alli. Tampoco existe en la pantalla de SMS ni de Mail. Al poder el dedo en pantalla para que despliegie la barra de menu a la derecha, NO ESTA LA OPCION "LLAMAR". ES NECESARIO Y UTIL QUE SE PONGA!!
Tampoco se despliega "LLAMAR" al tocar ese contacto y usar el menu de abajo a la derecha (el de los 3 puntitos en vertical). ES NECESARIO Y UTIL QUE SE PONGA!!
2- No se entiende bien la forma de "vincular" un contacto a un contacto de BBM. Deberia clarificarse la funcion.
3-Cuando marco un numero de telefono, no aparece el numero telefonico al que llamo en la pantalla sino solo el nombre del contacto. Es muy util saber a que numero de todos los de su tarjeta de contacto, le estoy llamando.
4-En el historial de llamadas, deberian aparecer las llamadas entrantes y salientes, perdidas o no, en una sola oportunidad. Si alguien me ha llamado 4 veces y lo he llamado 3, por ejemplo, no deberia aparecer 4 veces en pantalla sino solo 1. Al tocar dicho contacto es cuando deberia desplegarse las 4 llamadas y las 3 realizadas. Ese problema existe tanto en la pestaña de llamadas Perdidas, como en la pestaña Todas.
5-la BATERIA !. la BATERIA!!! NO DURA NADA, SIMPLEMENTE ASI! NADA.! y SE CALIENTA!!
6- Definitivamente debe mejorarse la sincronizacion de contactos de un dispositivo del software 7 al 10. La mayoria de mis contactos no se transfirieron, ni al hacerlo a traves de Blackberry Link. Y trate de restaurar una copia de los contactos desde Blackberry Protect de mi antiguo dispositivo al Z10, y nada. Ahora me llaman y no se quien es. DEBE BUSCARSE LA FORMA DE ARREGLARLO.
7- la forma de silenciar rapidamente el telefono, no existe. La persiana negra(con la pequeña cama y la luna) que se baja para poner en stnad by el telefono y no entren llamadas o notificaciones, solo se despliega desde la pantalla inicial (pero teneindo cuidado de no abrirla completa, pues sino no baja la persiana sino el menu de opciones de configuracion, bloqueo de rotacion y otros) ESTO DEBE MEJORARSE como en el 9360 que con apretar la tecla Q, se cambiaba al instante a "vibrar". ESO ES SUPER UTIL Y DEBE BUSCARSE LA FORMA DE ARREGLARLO.

I am a Blackberry fan and support the brand and its products. I have a Z10 Blackberry since 4 days and BLACKBERRY should IMPROVE / SOLVE the following: (HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF TECHNICAL CHANGE IN PROGRAM, READ THIS)
1 - I can not make calls from the BBM screen. If someone has sent message and I have a chat, you should be able to call from there. Nor is there on the screen for SMS or Mail To power your finger on screen to despliegie the menu bar on the right, NOT THE OPTION "CALL". YOU SHOULD INCLUDE IT AND IS USEFUL!
Nor displays "CALL" by touching the contact and use the menu below to the right (the 3 vertical dots). YOU SHOULD INCLUDE IT !
2 - not well understood how to "link" a contact to a BBM contact. Function should be clarified.
3-When setting a phone number, do not see the phone number that I call on the screen but only the contact name. It is very useful to know what number of all of your contact card, I'm calling.
4-In the call history, should show incoming and outgoing, missed or not, on a single occasion. If someone has called me 4 times and I've called 3, for example, IT DOES NOT HAVE to appears 4 times on screen but only 1. Touching the contact is when should deploy the 4 calls and 3 performed. This problem exists in the Missed Calls tab, including the All tab.
5-the BATTERY!. the BATTERY! NOTHING LASTS NO, JUST SO! NOTHING.! and HEATED!!
6 - You should definitely improve contact sync software device 7 to 10. Most of my contacts are not transferred, nor to do it through Blackberry Link. And try to restore a backup of contacts from Blackberry Protect from my old device to the Z10, and nothing. Now if someone call me and do not know who is. FIND A WAY TO FIX IT!!.
7 - a faster way to silence the phone, does not exist. The black shade (with the small bed and the moon) which lowers to put in stand by the phone and incoming calls and notifications, only unfolds from the initial screen (but careful not to open it complete, since it does not lower the blind but the menu with configuration options, rotation lock, etc.) THIS MUST BE IMPROVED as in 9360 with Q key press is instantly changed to "vibrate". SUPER USEFUL AND YOU SHOULD FIND A WAY TO FIX IT .

Would like to add the following:
1. Why not make it so that when you open your landing screen and you show live, text msg, live emails, etc that you can touch the icon from that screen and go directly to text msgs, emails, etc.
2. Since the Hub is the core of this system why not make so that you can always go back to the hub with one touch no matter where you are.
3. Lastly for us reading challanged older folks please when trying to read small emails that you are able to enlarge and automatically reformat to fit the screen as earlier version of BB did.
Overall enjoying the phone , being my first full touch screen , but seem there are some very simple things that could be changed to make the experiance more user friendly.

I just bought the Apple iPhone 5 via Verizon. Great phone but there is no "Contacts" icon on my phone. How can I load the contacts icon/app?

I just bought the iPhone 5 and find there is no "Contacts" icon displayed. How do I find the icon or do I need to download an app? Most of all I am curious as to why the icon is no

Thank you! It was in the Utilities Folder and I was able to move it to the home screen. Thank you so much for your help. I'm an old dude (64) and still learning my way around my beautiful Apple products (MacBook, iPad 2, and now the new iPhone 5). This is great ****! LOL!
Again, thank you for your help.

Have you tried resetting network settings in preferences? and perhaps shutting down your iPhone 4 and restarting it? It could help.

I have a ringtone that works great on my computer but the volume is very soft on the phone. I have adjusted the volume on the phone but the ringtone volume is still too low. Is there any way to adjust the volume of a ringtone?

I have managed to sync a ringtone to my ne i phone 5C but the volume is way too soft.
The sound is great on my computer but hard to hear at all on the phone. I have tried turning up the volume button on the phone but it doesn' do anything for the ringtone. Any ideas on how to solve this problem. The ringtone is "calypso blackberry" and I am not able to locate it in the Apple store ringtones. This should be so simple and it is making me nuts.
Help anyone please.
Bob

So you use an RCA cable going into what before it hits the MBP?
EDIT: Also in System Preferences > Sound > Input > you can select the input & adjust the volume accordingly as long as it's plugged in.

I have a cracked iPhone 6 screen. I just bought the phone, but not AppleCare. If I get my iphone screen replaced through apple how much do I pay and would it void my one year warranty with Apple?

To replace your phone's screen costs $109US and I don't see why having Apple replace the screen would void your warranty.

Google changed their menu bar. Firefox hasn't used Google for the default homepage since the Firefox 3.6 versions. Firefox 4+ versions use '''about:home'''.<br />

I downloaded a film on my phone but I don't have that much storage left now and I want to put it on my iTunes and not have it on my phone but I do not know how to

I have a film on my iPhone and because I do not have that much storage left I want to put it on my iTunes and not have it on my phone but I do not know how to. Please can you help

Where did you download this film from? Is it in your camera roll? If so, then import the video to the computer via whatever program you use to import pictures like a digital camera. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

now when i put my phone into recovery mode it connects to i phone software update server and sftware starts download but after much time of download error=-39 occurs

my itune keep showing message that i tune is downloading software for my phone. but downloading for several minutes it displays message that i tune cannot connect to my phone because it is locked with a passcode. first entre the pass code.
on the other hand phone is started with a message on screen phone is disabled.

TS1702 I updated to iOS6 and the Passbook shows as an icon on the phone, but not in the list of applications. Is this a useless app at this point? And, the maps - not nearly as nice as Google. (Sheesh, did I just say that?)

I updated from iOS 5.1 to iOS 6. The Passbook App appears as an app, but not in the list that appears to the left. It won't open, and it won't let me access iTunes Store from this App. Suggestions?
The maps are AWFUL. I cannot believe I am saying this, but I prefer GOOGLE maps.

What list? Where is this "left"?

My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?..

My Contracted SIM is for an android phone, but when i put the sim in an iphone my 3g no longer works?.. Is it because my 3g is only active on the android os and not the ios platform? Texts, Calls and Wifi work fine but the 3g doesn't work. My phone only shows 'GPRS' in the top left corner. Also I get a message come up saying "Could not activate mobile data network. You are not subscribed to a mobile data service".
Any advice would be great.

Hi hexonxonx, I'm on o2. Thanks for your advice. You are right. All I had to do was change one of my APN settings to mobile.o2.co.uk and reboot my phone and this sorted it out straight away! Thanks again. Much appreciated . I was thinking I was going to have to go back to an android phone to use my 3g again but this eliminated that need. Thanks.

N80, I love this phone - but:

I've had this N80 for about a week now. Very superior in many ways to anything on the market. I was in singapore and had a GSM 3g chip in it. Was able to down load msn and other webpages anywhere. Could swap to wifi in local pubs with a breeze, love the way it will search for another connection - easy to swap back and forth between 3g and wifi. I was also able to test it alongside two other wifi phones along the same lines ( Hp and Dopod). Don't know why but the N80 blasted the others in down load and easy of use.
Now, my problem is this. I cannot get any hot mail hook up via the messages section of the phone. Was not able to get the 3g to do so, and I tried what I think was every option.
Question: I suppose this phone can only connect to hotmail via a 3g connection? That is, could the hotmail be used via a wifi connection without having to sign on via MSN and then go to hotmail?
Is the term hotmail used here as a generic term? What has the N80 hotmail have to do with MSN hotmail.. if anything at all????
The other phones I used have a much better msn hotmail connection and could be what I have heard called push email... don't know, but it seems possible.
This inability to get my hotmail fast is the only and I mean only thing so far I don't like about the phone.
The camera is so good that I am considering leaving my Olympus at home for the next trip out of the country. Did you guys know that the secondary camera can be used in still and video mode? Wow, talk about some candid shots at the pub with some drinking buddies. They did not even know they were being filmed!
Great phone!

True.
If you pay for the premium service on most webmails, you'll get full POP access and be able to use with the N80

Network remains unreachable after much googling - wiki

Hello. I just installed Arch and in the command: ping -c3 8.8.8.8, it responds that Network is unreachable. I did much googling and I read many articles on wiki, but nothing changed.
In the command ip a, it says that my wired Ethernet is the enp4s0, and the wireless wlp3s0. Even the command systemctl enable [email protected] did not help at all...
Internet connection exists when I use the live CD for installation Arch.

To reiterate a point I had to make on your previous thread from yesterday:
Trilby wrote:Konstantinos, this is only meant for your benefit, but perhaps archlinux isn't right for you yet ... The errors above suggest that you will have a hard time following the wiki and man page documentation - this will likely just lead to much greater frustration with archlinux even if you get it installed. So perhaps tinker with some other distros for a while first.
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1534290
I truly believe arch is not a good fit for you currently. And if you decide to try to push your way through, that is up to you, we would welcome you and do our best to help. But if you continue as you are in this thread, you will quickly wear out that welcome.

Great phone BUT! To much Google...
