How Do I know When Edge or WIFI is in use?

I have read many of the discussion forums and the manual and many other blogs. Bottom line is the phone will not work as a phone if the phone is using the edge network. Is there a way to know you are using your edge network? Does using the WIFI prevent the phone from being a phone? I have woke up my phone many times to find that Safari is still on the page I last used. Or an application like GasBag. Does this mean it could not recieve a call while asleep but connected to Edge or WIFI? Is it really disconnected? How do you know?

Check the symbol next to the carrier name (just to the right of the AT&T in your case). It shows for Wi-Fi, 3G for the 3G network, E for the EDGE network, and a dot for the GPRS network. If connected to Wi-Fi or 3G, you can access data and voice at the same time. On EGDE or GPRS, you can access data or voice, not both simultaneously (meaning if you're in the middle of a download, a call will go straight to voicemail).

  • How do you know when your MacBook is infected?

    Hey All. Well my question is how do you know when your MacBook is infected with a virus? I came off windows and i have norton antivirus so i have something to tell me there. But on the Mac OS you rarely get viruses and i dont have a anitvirus program, so how do you know when you have one? And what does it do?
    Thanks!

    Since no ones got one that I know of it is hard to say. I figure that when the day comes that someone writes a Mac virus you will know real quick what happens. If your concerned you could use ClamXav. I use it if I download something for my wife's PC but have never found anything yet.

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

    You can
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    You can have apps purchased from more than one account. It does complicate update apps though.
    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • How do I know when my backup is complete to my external hard drive

    How do I know when my back up is complete to an external har drive...new user

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you are using Time Machine, open , System Preferences, System, Time Machine.
    It will show the status of the backup drive, including the date of the first backup, as well as the most recent.
    Checkmarking the 'Show Time Machine status in the menu bar' will allow you to view the latest Time Machine backup by clicking on the icon in the menu bar, without going through System Preferences each time.
    Clicking Open Time Machine Preferences... from the menubar takes you to the same Preference screen as shown above.
    The first backup will take a while, up to several hours or more, because it is a complete backup of everything on your system.

  • How do I know when my unlock has been processed?

    Hi all,
    Sorry for what's probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer anywhere.
    I have an AT&T iPhone 4S, and I recently called them to request an unlock.  Since it was on a business account while under contract, they had to submit a request directly to Apple instead of just using the web form.  However, they told me that they never received anything from Apple during the process that would indicate that I'll be notified once the request has been approved.  So from my understanding, completing the process on my end involves tethering to iTunes and restoring the phone - but how will I know when it's actually time for me to do that? 
    I should add: I am no longer with AT&T, or in touch with anyone else who is still on the account that I had been part of.  So if anyone else on that old account gets notified, I won't know.  And since I'm not with AT&T myself, I feel doubtful that they'd let me know.
    Thanks for your help!

  • I am using a WD external hard drive for backing up my laptop with Time Machine, but I have to do it manually. How do I know when it has finished the back up? How long should it take?

    I am using an external WD hard drive for backing up my laptop. I have to do it manually, so I can't set Time Machine to just do it for me. How do I know when it is done backing up? How long should this take?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    tmutil compare -E
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
    Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
    Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
    Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
    At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
    Added:
    Removed:
    Changed:
    These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

  • How Do You Know When The Zen Touch Is Done Chargi

    I searched through the forums and couldn't find anything on this topic.
    I want to make sure that I don't overcharge my player, while still filling it to its enormous capacity. How will I know when it's done charging?

    On my touch there is a little icon in the upper left corner of the screen showing my battery symbol with a power volt thing over it to show it is charging. This changes back and forth until the charging is done, then there is nothing on the screen at all.

  • HT1498 How do I know when the rented movie is downloaded

    I will be flying across seas and I want to download several rentals but how do I know when they are download completely to my iPad so once I'm up in the air I can watch them without being connect to the internet.

    There are many ways, such as a gray screen on startup, kernal panics, very slow startup times, etc. These items alone don't always point to a failing HD but are symtoms, also if you hear the HD making a lot of noise, that is a pretty sure sign.
    If you suspect  yours is failing it  would be helpful to tell us the symptoms you are experiencing.
    One thing you can test for is Disk Utilities S.M.A.R.T. status of the HD, if it says anything but Verified then it's failing. However that test alone should be taken with a grain of salt, because a drive can be Verified but still failing.
    If you have ANY doubts about yours, Backup IMMEDIATELY and take the computer to your local Genius Bar or AASP to be tested.
