How do you know you have a voicemail

If you go to phone settings-> phone infor. -> icon glossary -> service alert, and then you'll see a small icon of a person where it says voice mail. My phone is Samsung gusto so it may be different from yours but i would assume the overall location may be similar.

Is there a setting to let you know you have a text msg?

Is there a setting you can set to let you know you have a tex msg? I use to have the Droid 3 and a light would blink if I had a text msg or email.

No there is not other than a sound setting, vibrate or both (i think). I had this same thought the other day after just coming over from a droid as well but when you think about it, doesn't matter much. With my droid, if the light was blinking I would check, but most often it would be a spam or garbage email. With this phone it has no light but a click of the home button and I can see what messages or emails or whatever are there. If I am close enough to see a light, I'm likely close enough to click the button, and because of my nature, I'm going to click the button and look...lets face it. Essentially the same thing with either phone...if I think there might be something I'm looking for it!
I also believe certain things can be set up to repeat notification until you clear it. So if you miss the initial sound or vibration or what have you, it would alert you again.

You know you've been on these boards too long...

Not to be a complete copycat here, this is more a release for me than another lame "you know you've..." thread.
I just had this long involved thread about the appropriateness of the XML format for the ant tool config file, as well as the general question of the use of ant at all. Of course jschell came down on the anti-ant side of things (I suspect as a more of a "devil's advocate" position) and things got a little heated, you know how it is. Now you way be wondering where this very interesting thread is. Well, I'd post a link but I can't*, since it was in my dream. Shudder.
(yes it's a bit late for sleep, but it was a long night - on the upside I got to live the rockstar-hanger-on life for a bit, thanks Mark. On the downside I doubt even rockstar-hangers-on don't dream about debate threads on the java fora, so I guess that illusion's been shattered)
Just thought I'd share

*I think there is such a thread out there, but it's old and not at all what I'm posting about, so you pedantic ballsniffers can spare yourselves the trouble of looking it up :-)

..... but maybe my time has finally come. There aren't
that many challenging and fun questions anymore and
aren't the forums getting slower and slower? Do you
remember the good morning threads when everybody used
to check in and say hello every day? You could easily
get 100 replies in 15 minutes. And now that I've
defected to C++ I guess it's time to move on. Good
luck everybody ........Ulrika, I'm shocked. Uhm, and I don't remember any "Good Morning" thread. Must've missed them, I seldom have good mornings.

You can't instal iCloud, it is part of the operating system (OSX 10.7.2 and above) if you have iCloud, you'll find it in system preferences.

You have to ignore talhakhan99's suggestion at all costs.
Jailbreaking violates Apple's Terms of Use and this forum can offer no help or support for jailbroken devices. You risk making your iPhone completely useless. If you wish, you can read Apple's thoughts on this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743 .
I feel confident that this thread will be removed shortly as a consequence of talhakhan99's coments.
As for you actual question about texting on an iPhone, it should be reasonably easy to work out how to do it if ytou are already familiar with texting on phones.

N86 How do u know you have a msg ?

Hi. Am I being stupid ? When the phones on standby and Ive recieved a message I dont know about there doesnt seem to be any symbol, light etc to tell you ones arrived.
You have to keep checking back and opening to find out !
Also at night a pretty dot matrix clock fills the screen, but only for about a minute. Whats the point of that ? or is there a way of turning it into a permenent clock ?
Hope this is in the right place and sorry for being dense !!!

you can try to turn on your breathing light/indicator light it will speed up if you have a message on your dpad settings- notification lights or something to that account. in there you should be able to adjust. and no there is no really a way to keep your clock on in the fp2 phones unless you use a third party app. it will be either under navi wheel or notification lights. so look for either one
this should work to turn off/on the 'breathing' option
Menu - Tools - Settings - General - Navi Wheel - Breathing
and select off/on.

There are no extant viruses affecting OS X.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions About Mac Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utility is: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior for defragmentation of older drives, disk repair, disk scans, formatting, partitioning, disk copy, and benchmarking.
Four outstanding sources of information on Mac maintenance are:
1. OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
2. Mac maintenance Quick Assist
3. Maintaining Mac OS X
4. Mac Maintenance Guide
Periodic Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) See Mac OS X- About background maintenance tasks. If you are running Leopard or later these tasks are run automatically, so there is no need to use any third-party software to force running these tasks.
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced after Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
Defragmentation
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive except when trying to install Boot Camp on a fragmented drive. Malware Protection
As for malware protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. Starting with Lion, Apple has included built-in malware protection that is automatically updated as necessary. To assure proper protection, update your system software when Apple releases new OS X updates for your computer.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection:
1. Mac Malware Guide.
2. Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware
3. Macintosh Virus Guide
For general anti-virus protection I recommend only using ClamXav, but it is not necessary if you are keeping your computer's operating system software up to date. You should avoid any other third-party software advertised as providing anti-malware/virus protection. They are not required and could cause the performance of your computer to drop.
Cache Clearing
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner 7.0.9, Maintenance 1.6.8, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache files can cause slowness, kernel panics, and other issues. Although this is not a frequent nor a recurring problem, when it does happen there are tools such as those above to fix the problem.
If you are using Snow Leopard or earlier, then for emergency cleaning install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (AppleJack works with Snow Leopard or earlier.)
Installing System Updates or Upgrades
Repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Update your backups in case an update goes bad.
Backup and Restore
Having a backup and restore strategy is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your computer. Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. You can never have too many backups. Don't rely on just one. Make several using different backup utilities. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
     1. Carbon Copy Cloner
     2. Get Backup
     3. Deja Vu
     4. SuperDuper!
     5. Synk Pro
     6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.
Final Suggestions
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space. Avoid installing utilities that rely on Haxies, SIMBL, or that alter the OS appearance, add features you will rarely if ever need, etc. The more extras you install the greater the probability of having problems. If you install software be sure you know how to uninstall it. Avoid installing multiple new software at the same time. Install one at a time and use it for a while to be sure it's compatible.

Most if not all maintenance is for troubleshooting problems. If your computer is running OK, then there isn't really a thing you need to do except repair the hard drive and permissions before installing any new system updates.

You know you've been in the industry a while when... (new OT)

You know a gorilla bannana isn't used for feeding large primates at the Zoo.

I started with a VIC20 in '82, tough I didn't realliy get going properly until a had a BBC-B, where you could insert machine code into interrupt vector tables to (for instance) make real-time clock display on the top of the tele-text screen.
When I was 13 I worked out how to play chords on the guitar by measuring the distances of the frets to the bridge, and working out the harmonic relationships using a BBC BASIC program. (the library in town was closed in the evenings- you have it so easy with the web these days).
I still use copy con Foo.java for 50 line 'spike' examples

OT: Did you know you can change your profile to show your real name, rather than just your Adobe ID?

I realize this is off-topic for this particular forum, but I hope it may help some readers. Since this forum is "where I live" in the Adobe forums, I wanted top share it here first. Perhaps after some feedback to refine things, I may post it elsewhere (another forum perhaps, and/or my blog).
As I was answering a question from someone, finding myself again able only to refer to them by their brief Adobe ID (which often seems to have no connection at all to their name), I wondered:
Do people realize that they can change their forum identity so that their real name (or whatever other identifying info) shows up rather than just their brief Adobe ID? It's just that some folks would much prefer "talking" with someone by refer to them by their real name (or at least something more than just their Adobe ID).:-)
I suppose some may choose intentionally to remain “relatively anonymous” with just that ID to identify them, but I think many more simply don't know that they *can* change what's shown. You can. But it seems we can't do it inside the forums software itself.
Instead, we just need to modify our "Adobe account" to associate a name with our ID (which of course could have benefit in other places where our names might be used).
You can do by going to https://www.adobe.com/account.html, then choose “My Information” (and login if prompted). Then, on the page shown, under the section “My Personal Profile” you can fill in the first and last name fields. (You can also your password here, and it seems even your username.)
It may be possible that after making that change, you would need to sign out and back into the forums (forums.adobe.com) for the change to be picked up, but if it is, you should then see "Welcome [your name]" in the top right corner of the forums page, if it's worked.
And now any forum messages you create should have that name at the top of the message when people read it, and it would also be in the FROM address if people receive it as email (note we're NOT talking about your email address. That is never shown. If people reply to forum messages received by email, the reply goes back to a generic forum email address.)
Hope all that's helpful to someone.
BTW, I had done the change myself a long time ago, so I'm retracing these steps now for others to do it. If you try it and can confirm that it works, please drop a note here. Thanks.

It works, thanks!
