IPhone International Settings for Texting Only

2 International travel questions. My son will be visiting Zambia. There is no Wifi. We want to communicate strictly via text. We'd like to turn off anything on his phone that might generate unwanted data charges EXCEPT for what he'll need to send and receive texts. What needs to be left on?

Cellular Data: On or Off?
- Enable 3G: On or Off?
- Data Roaming: On or Off?
- Location Services: I'm assuming Off.
All of those can be OFF for regular texting.
All you need to text is the Cellular radio to be on; that is Ariplane Mode turned off.
However if he texts using email  through iMessage, or other Apps like Whatsapp, then those need Cellular Data to be on.
With that, you still need to contact the carrier to see what kind of charges are likely to be applied by texting abroad.

  • RINGTONE NOTIFICATIONS FOR TEXTS ONLY

    I have a new   DROID RAZR HD by Motorola in White and it is fantastic.  I only want ringtone notifications for TEXTS ONLY.  How do I stop ringtone notifications from email and Facebook which I can wait on, but TEXTS I want to answer asap. 

    In the individual applications chose a silent tone for email and Facebook notifications. Then in the text message application choose the tone of your choice.

    If you have 2-step verification set up for your gmail account, you will need to generate an application-specific password for your iphone applications (because those apps apparently don't support 2-step verification).
    Go into your google account, look in accounts/security/2-step verification, there is a link called "Manage your application specific passwords"   Use that to generate a special password for your iphone apps and use that instead of your usual gmail password on your phone.

  • Best Settings for N Only Network.

    I am trying to create an N only network with an AirPort Extreme 802.11n router. What are the best settings to use? Here is what I currently have. Also, just bought a previous generation MacBook Pro (one right before the new glass screen ones, do I need to use the N enabler?).
    802.11n only (5 ghz)
    Channel: Automatic
    Security: WPA2
    Multicast Rate: 6 mbps
    Use wide channels is selected.
    Thank you.

    I am trying to create an N only network with an AirPort Extreme 802.11n router. What are the best settings to use?
    Are you looking for the best settings for speed or overall speed and security?
    For speed:
    o 802.11n only (5 GHz)
    o Wide-channel enabled
    o Channel: <Will depend if there are other 5 GHz Wi-Fis or interference nearby. In that case, you can choose a different channel by holding down the Option key before making the selection in the AirPort Utility.>
    o Security: None
    o Multicast Rate: This determines the minimum bandwidth that a device must achieve in order to connect to the router. To eliminate slower devices, use the highest value possible.
    For speed & security:
    The same settings as above with Security set to WPA2 Personal

  • Can't input for text, only for numbers

    A program I have written has inputs for text and numbers, the text one just comes up and then skips to the input of numbers.
    double age, score
    String name;
    System.out.println ("Age: ");
    age = console.nextDouble();
    System.out.println("Name: ");
    message = console.nextLine();
    System.out.println ("Score: ");
    score = console.nextDouble();
    It justs runs like this
    Age:
    17
    Name
    Score:
    23
    Doesn't let me input anything for text.

    I guess the nextDouble() doesn't consume the new line character.
    Therefore, the call to nextLine() will read an empty line (corresponding to the empty string between the number read and the 'return key' you hit after entering your number.) You should add a call to nextLine() to consume it: double age, score
    String name;
    System.out.println ("Age: ");
    age = console.nextDouble();
    console.nextLine();
    System.out.println("Name: ");
    message = console.nextLine();
    System.out.println ("Score: ");
    score = console.nextDouble();

  • How to: Print table on first page, use second page (back) for text only

    Hi, I am looking for a clear document on how to use pagination and the Odd and Even pages.
    We need to print a table over several pages, but only on Odd pages.
    On the back of each page we need to print "Terms and Conditions". Is that possible? Can it be done without scripting
    We are on ADOBE version 8.1
    In the file properties, double sided is switched on, and version set to 8.1 and higher.
    I created two Master pages, a FrontPage with ContentArea1and a BackPage with ContentArea2.
    FrontPage is used for uneven pages, BackPage is used for the even pages. The masterpages are printed correctly (alternating properly).
    Two pages were created for the content area's:
    ITEMS: contains item data (table with header and footer). Place is "On Odd Page". After "Goto page BackPage". And if the table needs to be paginated it goes to BackPage with overflow leader "Conditions".
    CONDITIONS: contains a textfield (Terms and Conditions). Place is "On Even Page". After "Goto page FrontPage". No overflow.
    What should happen is that on the front pages the item table is printed. If there are too many lines it should overflow to page number 3 then 5 etc. All the even pages should display the text.
    What actually happens is that the item table also gets printed in the content area for the Condition text...
    Also the "Conditions" are not printed on the last back page. But only once before it...
    Cheers,
    Edwin.

    Fixed it... After a lot of creating, deleting, playing around with pagination and the inevitable cursing...
    I have created 5 pages:
    1. FirstPage
         - Odd/Even: Odd (Front) Pages
         - Placement: First page (In page set)
    2. FrontPage (For Odd pages)
         - Odd/Even: Odd/Front Pages
         - Placement: Rest of Pages
    3. BackPage (For Even pages)
         - Odd/Even: Even (Back) Pages
         - Placement: Rest of Pages
    4. LastPage
         - Odd/Even: No Odd/Even Restrictions
         - Placement: Last page (In page set)
    5. DummyPage
         - Odd/Even: Blank pages
    The 'Terms and conditions' are located on the BackPage and LastPage (as a text).
    The table that is printed is (of course) located on a normal page (flowed subform).
    Pagination tab: Placement = Following previous, and After = "Continue filling parent". No overflow... Basically, it's all default.
    The table lines will now start on the first page and if there are more lines than can be printed on this page, it will continue in the next content area. That will be on the FrontPage.
    The trick is that each master page must have a content area (mandatory). Except for Blank pages, but these cannot be used... Blank pages would only be used once, after the first page.
    What I discovered is that you can drag a content area away from the Master page and attach it to a different master page.
    Logically, if there is no content area on a page, then data cannot be printed there. So, I created a Dummypage. On this page I dumped the content areas from the LastPage and the BackPage. As a result, content cannot be printed anymore on the back of pages. Only the standard text (a text field) is printed there. When the data from the table is overflowing, it will automatically overflow from the FirstPage to the next content area. Which is located on the FrontPages only.
    The DummyPage is NOT used anywhere.
    The result is that the records can only be printed on the content areas that exist on the First and Front pages. The back pages are now skipped.
    Duplex printing is now working correctly, and the text is printed on the back of all the pages.
    Cheers,
    Edwin.

  • Equalizer settings for read-only files

    Ok here is my problem:
    I have a lot of cds imported from my earlier years as an MS user. The files are stored in mp3 format on CDs. Now I want to create one huge library in iTunes, importing the data of the files but not the files themselves, so I can make use of the volume and equalizer settings that I want to adjust per file.
    Please note that the actual file I am talking about is sitting on the CD which means it's read-ony. What I want is to load desired bits off CDs onto my iPod so I can hear the files in my car.
    I noticed that the file data is stored in the preferences file and I can see a difference between a file with and one without an equalizer seting applied - it does or doesn't have an equalizer category in the respective xml file area.
    Now I have realised that when importing CDs, the files will be analysed so the volume adjustment will be done - but I cannot choose any equalizer settings. It doesn't even matter whether the respective CD is in the drive or not.
    Now it is not really useful importing dozens of CDs without being able to use what I regard as the most prominent killer feature of iTunes - the EQ settings stored per file.
    Does anyone know a solution? Is this intended or is there a mistake on my side?
    mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Ok - I will try again, sorry for this mess.
    I have files on CD. I can import them into iTunes - they show up, they are being put into the database. But since I did choose the option to NOT copy the files to the library, they are ONLY on CD.
    This is what I want - only the reference to the files, with all data such as equalizer and volume settings. The reason for this is lack of space.
    I still want the stuff inside iTunes - so I can easily synchronize them with my iPod only inserting the CD and plugging in my iPod.
    The problem is: I cannot edit the equalizer settings as long the files are only on CD. I could, of course, copy the CD to HD temporarily. But that would not leave me with a reference to CD - it would generate a reference to a place on the HD which - I guess - means I'd have to copy the CD back to HD again, then synchronize my iPod.
    I cannot believe I am the first person to think of something like that, even though HD space is not so precious anymore these days.

  • Reduce margins for text only in Pages

    I need to reduce the 1-inch default left and right margins in iWorks '06 to half an inch (.5 in) in the blank template, using only text. I ploughed through the user manual but can't find anything on how to solve that problem. I did see a template with half-inch margins but can't get it to work for me.
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks.
    ghkkoehler

    click on Inspector icon, click on first icon in its menu bar and that highlights the document margins. Change to what you want in the relevant boxes and off you go. To make the change active for each box you must click in the next box or hit enter.

  • Create URL Document for text only string (Not XML)

    I want to query a http page that return only a string of text. The response is not formatted with XML. Is it possible to read the value of “parameter1” containing “4321” from the Contact Center Express script?
    Response (pure text):
    parameter1=4321&parameter2=1234

    Getting the response body of an HTTP GET request is as easy as:
    Set my_string = URL[http://my-server.local/]
    Now, if the response body is formatted as a query string:  key1=value1&key2=value2, you will need to further process your results.
    You can feel free to search the web for "java query string" to see if there's code out there you like, otherwise, here's one way to do it in UCCX.
    /* This Set step makes the HTTP GET request to the web server and stores the response body in the String */
    Set my_string = URL[http://my-server.local/]
    /* This Do step takes any size query parameter and turns it into a HashMap */
    /* E.g., From this: key1=value1&key2=value2; to this: map[key1] = value1, map[key2] = value2 */
    Do {
        String[] pairs = my_string.split("&");
        int i = 0;
        int j = pairs.length;
        for (; i < j; i++) {
            my_map.put(pairs[i].split("=")[0], pairs[i].split("=")[1]);
    }/* This If step checks the existance of a specific key, and if it exists, we get the value for use in our script */If (my_map.containsKey("key1"))     True          /* The specified key is in the map, set account_number to its value */          Set account_number = (String) my_map.get("key1");     False          /* The specified key is not in the map */
    I hope that makes sense and helps you.  Ask questions if you need more help.  Good luck.

  • Best Compression Option For Text Only?

    I'll need to pre-render a text element to use in a project later on, and unfortunately, I've tried everything I can think of but I'm simply going to have to add compression to it to make it workable. Uncompressed it's to large and PP crashes when I try to bring it in as a png sequence (as it's over 6,000 frames long).
    So, this is just simple scrolling text, lasting 4min and has a transparent background. Can anyone recommend the best compression for a video with just text? My goal is, if I DO have to compress this, to keep it the absolute highest quality possible as it will get recompressed atleast once after this.
    I've played around with Quicktime and it seems to have a alpha channel option with some type of PNG compression agent. Not sure if that's the best way to go.
    Thnx!

    I wouldn't say it's a HDD storage issue as I have a 1.5TB drive. I'm just trying to keep the video file sizes down to avoid unnecessary bloat. The video in question (at 1080p for 4min) is 2GB. That's a little to steep from a storage stand point if I plan to do many of these types of videos.
    However, I did some research and tried rendering the same video using QuickTime's "Animation" codec (which is also supposedly a lossless codec). The file size is now down to around 400MB and I have an alpha channel I can use for transparency.
    What are your(s) thoughts on this particular codec or are there better options?

  • Global settings for Text Fields?

    Is there a way to set the properties for all Text Fields in a Form to be identical
    -- with the exception of size -- (instead of having to reset the properties each
    time a field is created)?

    Like ~grafitti stated, you can set field defaults. Create a field that has the properties you want then right click on the field and select Use Current Properties as New Default.
    For already created fields, you can select all the fields on a page, right click, select Properties, and change the  properties all at once. You can actually set matching height and width too; with the fields you want the same selected, right click, and select Set Fields to Same Size.

  • Universal, international settings for video

    Hello all
    I need some advise.
    I work for an international company with offices in 36 countries. When I receive raw video footage (on HDV) here in the US office, my job is to distribute previews of the video to all the offices. If they see something they like, we then coordinate getting the real video to them.
    I use Final Cut to ingest the video (making it full sized, broadcast quality, uncompressed, 1920x1080 HD video).
    I have a handful of softwares that then compress video - but every time I do, someone always complains that the video won't play on their computer. I've tried mp4; avi; and mov.
    My questions is - is there a video format that will:
    * play on any computer (I work on a Mac, but everyone else is on a PC)
    * play in any country (PAL vs. NTSC)
    * has a small enough compression to fit through "dial up" net connections (the Africa offices have bad connections)
    * still have a viewable picture (336x192 is fine - but I need the picture to be clear)
    * be less than 50mb (they're 60:00 files)
    Is this possible???
    Thanks - Gina Jo
    PS - at this point in time, Flash is not an option.

    Well you've opened a can of worms.
    If everyone's playing on a computer, pixel dimensions and frame rate don't matter, so figure out the minimum size and frame rate that's acceptable.
    There is no universally compatible format, however almost all webbrowsers on almost all computers will play flash video. You can compress as an h264 file and then change the file extension from mov to flv and embed in a webpage and send people the link. This will require some web programming knowledge, but it isn't that complicated.
    As far as free standing files, on the mac, people need to install the free flip4mac plug in for quicktime to play wmv files or you can ask everyone to install the vlc player (available on versiontracker.com).
    And on the pc, you can ask everyone to install quicktime player.
