Hi Pat,
Sorry - I misunderstood your first post. Of course, when the cover is closed it is useful that pressing the power button switches on clock mode. However, it might also be nice to have the option that opening the cover (when not in clock mode but asleep) switches the phone straight to homescreen, so you don't have to press the power button.
Maybe the reason you can't (as far as I know) do this is that the cover doesn't appear to work by some magnetic mechanism so can actually fall open quite easily when it's out of your pocket. I also imagine it might drain the battery.
What's also a bit strange is that when I switch lockscreen in settings to 'none', then without the cover that is what I get: no lockscreen - pressing the power button goes straight to homescreen. However, with the cover, if the screen is off and you open the cover and then press the power button, you still get a lockscreen and therefore have to swipe to get to homescreen. Therefore, in general it is better to wake up the phone with the power button BEFORE you open the cover.
The cover is very thin; the outside is made of some kind of very matte faux-leather plastic that has a rather papery feel. The inside is made of a textured rubber. The quality is reasonably good.
1. The window is made of transparent plastic (which attracts finger prints).
2. The camera window is simply a hole and the the cover more than raises it past the protruding camera (which is a good thing).
Overall, the cover takes the phone from 7.7mm to almost 12mm, which is acceptable.
I bought it on alza. lenovoonline.sk has it, but for a similar price. I'm sure you can get something similar considerably cheaper on aliexpress or amazon, but I couldn't guarantee quality, functionality, delivery times and costs, etc.
Regards,
Beaton

  • I just want to know what specific smart phones that I can purchase that use Firefox. Thanks.

    I am purchasing a mobile phone after not having one for five years. I like to use Firefox at home and need to know specifically what smart phones use this product. The android 2.2 etc. and the rest really does not mean anything to me. You could tell me how to find this information on your website. I found one page that listed devices but then it said something about going to Google Play Store and you lost me. FYI, I have a very sharp learning curve.

    Will Firefox work on my mobile device?
    Firefox is compatible with Android 2.2 and above devices. Installation requires about 24 MB internal storage, 384 MB of RAM and a display that is at least 320 pixels high and 240 pixels wide. You can download Firefox for Android or search for Firefox in the Google Play store.
    Important: Some of the devices listed here only work with the latest version of Firefox. If you search for Firefox in the Google Play store and don't find it, your device may not be compatible.

  • I have a Droid Bionice, my 1st Smart phone. An install kept coming up ,I did it and everything has changed. I don't knpw what to do...Help...smart phone...dumb person

    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....

  • My yahoo e-mail not pushing to iPhone4, again.  Had this same problem in October for several weeks.  My kids and husband have 3 other types of smart phones, and none of them are experiencing this problems.  This has been going on for 2 weeks so far.

    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?

    It's a yahoo issue. Nothing you can do on your phone to fix it.

  • My new IPad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of the reception. In the same location, my PC and my smart phone get a full bar connection without any issues.  How can I do to fix the issues (can I switch to IPad 2)?

    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?

    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 E2

    No, 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. iphone 5. I want to use sounds sent to me in text messages as ringtones but don't know how to move them over. Any help would be appreciated.

    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.

    When I try to access adobe from my smart phone to use my form created in formscentral I receive an error message that says "unsupported browser". There is a link to download a supported browser but the link directs me to another page that says "browser not supported at this time". This happened to me while using my IPhone 5, a friend that uses an IPhone 6, and another friend that uses a Samsung Galaxy S5. I just need for my employees to be able to access, complete and submit work orders created in formscentral from their phones. I would like to use the data collection feature in formscentral but at this point any suggestions on how to accomplish this are welcomed. Thank you

  • *611 not working on pay-as-you-go, non-smart phone

    I have a basic, non-smart phone with the pay-as-you-go plan (pay $100, good for one year, all calls 25 cents a minute.) It is an older Audiovox 8615 CDMA phone that is mobile-web enabled, but it will not handle apps such as MyVerizon. Incoming and outgoing calls work fine. Voicemail works fine. Text works fine. I have had this account for two years and have been very happy with the service.
    Problem: I can no longer reach *611 (add money, check balance), or #225 (check balance). I get an "All circuits are busy, please try your call again later" message. I first noticed this several days ago and have reported it and have a repair ticket in, but was wondering if anyone knows what might be going on here? I have internet service and a laptop, so can still use the Verizon Wireless web site to manage my account. However, I believe I should still be able to check my balance or add funds using the phone itself, as I have in the past. Thoughts?

    Just got off the phone with Verizon Prepaid customer service rep who called to report on my trouble ticket. The problem is most likely my phone and not the network. She suggested doing a  factory reset on the phone and if that does not resolve the problem, I'll need to get a newer phone. Just posting this follow-up in case others have a similar problem.

  • When I send a text message to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes throug blank. When I send a message to them one at a time it will go through but not multiple addresses. Can this problem be fixed?

    When I send a text message on my iPhone 4s to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes through blank. If I send it to each one individually, it will go through ok. Is this a problem with my phone or it is something I am doing wrong.

    Check your phone to make sure MMS is turned on. If it is, check with your cell provider and make sure your phone is provisioned correctly.

  • After a Windows 8.1 automatic update yesterday my other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc can't use my routers wireless signal unless my laptop is turned on

    Hi guys, please help, I'm desperate.
    After an automatic update to my windows 8.1 yesterday none of my other other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc. can join my wireless network unless my laptop is turned on.  If I turn my laptop off, after a couple of minutes my iphone,
    my wife's iphone  and my Galaxy Tab lose connection and are unable to join my router's network. When I turn my laptop back on, all the other devices are able to use my router's wireless internet without any problems.  How can I fix this???
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First, I suggest to reset the router, meanwhile disable the network card and enable it again, because it is obviously network issue.
    Then, as you post this happened after windows update, try to find the update that was already installed on your computer
    Restore your computer by following the way listed below:

    Hide the  update if it is not an important one and related to wireless internet according to this article:

    I hope it works for you .

  • I have what I consider the best smart phone on the market, but I resently upgraded my Windows Vista PC to Windows 8 and my Itunes went away.  Is there anything that I did wrong or aren't the two compatible?

    I have what I consider the best smart phone.  I recently upgraded my PC from Windows Vista to Windows 8 and my Itunes went away.  Did I do something wrong or aren't the two compatible?

    If the update did not preserve all your Applications you may simply have to download iTunes again and instrall it on Windows 8.
    There's nothing strange about an update not preserving installed Applications.

  • Early Termination for Upgrading to Smart Phones

    I am really frustrated with Verizon right now. I have plan with several smart phones and 2 basic phones. I wanted to upgrade these 2 phones to Smart Phones. I couldn't imagine that this would be an issue. Verizon only earns more money by having me purchase smart phones instead of basic phones. I was told that I can't upgrade until September when the contract on these basic phones is up unless I want to pay a $175 early termination fee per phone. I understand that in general, you need people to stay with the contract for the 2 years in order to cover the price of the phone they were given.  In this case, these are cheap phones. I'm sure they have been paid for many times over in the past year. If I upgrade, verizon will be getting $40 a month per phone instead of $20 a month per phone. I might even upgrade the Data plan. Instead I am completely trapped until September. $175 Termination fee would be way more than these basic phones are worth. I am tempted to go to another carrier and start a new contract and let these run out - it will actually cost me less to pay the bill for these phones and not use them than to pay for an early termination fee. Or maybe I'll try one of the comanies that offers to pay your termination fee. Verizon - you are not making sense! P.S. If you want my basic phones back, you can have 'em.

    Unfortunately Joe, VZW can't bend the rules just to satisfy you or anyone else.  I know you may think that it would be only smart for them to let you out to get another phone plan that will yield them more revenue.  However, they're not seeing it that way in your case.  Rule are rules regardless of if we like them or not.  I upgraded my iP5 to an iP6+ in September.  I was less than 2 months on the end of of current 2 year agreement...but because I used Early EDGE I had to give away my phone, which I was 2 months from owning outright, back to VZW for absolutely no compensation just to enjoy the offer of Early EDGE.  Fair...maybe not to most.  Some people would think that VZW should have just let them out since they were so close to the end...but I didn't see it that way.  I understood my agreement when I signed up and therefore I knew I had to uphold my end of the bargain.  My point is, VZW makes exceptions for a lot of things...but I've never really heard anyone on here say that they've bumped up an upgrade just because they were asked by the consumer.  Best of luck to you with your next carrier...but be advise that I don't think many other carriers are going to bump your upgrade date just because you ask...they'll inform you that if you plan to upgrade earlier than 2 years then you'd probably want to try their version of EDGE...(i.e. Next, JUMP, or Easy Pay)
