Is multitasking real for iPhone 5?

I can't access the web (or my email account) while I'm talking by the phone: is it normal? Why friends of mine can do it with iPhone 4? Thank you

That depends on your carrier. Simultaneous voice and data does not work on CDMA networks if you don't have a WiFi connection.
On GSM networks, you must be on the carrier's 3G network. EDGE does not support simultaneous voice/data. If you are on LTE, the phone should automatically drop to 3G while on a voice call.

  • Why no multitasking gestures for iphone in ios5?

    I was just reading the iOS 5 features list and noticed that multitasking gestures would be integrated into the new update, but it seemed to indicate it will only available on the iPad and not the iPhone!
    Is this true and if so what is the reason?
    On one hand I might assume it's hardware based and that the my iPhone 4 is not physically able to distinguish more than 2 touch points (rendering 4/5 finger gestures useless), but while I'm not fully familiar with the tech behind capacitance screens I would have thought the screen would detect as many points of contact as there actually are and it would be the software/firmware which would decide how to interpret these signals?
    Or maybe apple have decided screen real estate is a limiting factor on the iPhone, though I don’t see why?
    Anyway perhaps someone out there more knowledgeable on the subject can enlighten me!?

    Even if there was, iOS 5 is in beta and only available to registered developers under a non-disclosure agreement, meaning they cannot discuss the beta outside of Apple's private developer forums.
    Apple have not made any public announcements as to why multitasking gestures are only on iPad. Speculation is against the Terms of Use of these forums.
    iPhone's can detect at least 10 touch points, so it's not that.

  • Can applw make a new software for Iphone 3g with multitasking

    can apple make a new software for Iphone 3g with multitasking

    No. Apple stated that the 3G does not have the processing power to provide multitasking to Apple's reuired standards.

  • Is there a gesture for multitasking on the iPhone 5?

    I've have so many home button issues on my iPhones over the years I would like to use gestures whenever possible. In particular, it would be nice to use a gesture to show the multitasking in iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone 5 instead of double-clicking on the home button. I've already had to return the iPhone 5 because of home button issues.
    Anyway, on the iPad 2 I can swipe up with 4 fingers to bring up multitasking.
    That doesn't seem to work on my iPhone 5. It would be cumbersome anway, getting 4 fingers to fit for the swipe!
    Is there some multitasking gesture for the iPhone 5 that does work (and is actually practical given the size of the screen)?
    Thanks,
    doug

    You are very lucky about your home button! The creeping symptom that typically starts happening is that over time a single click gets interpreted as a double click. Sort of like a "stutter" that gets worse over time. When it finally gets to the point where I can reliably demonstrate it to Apple I bring it in and they exchange it. Of course when AppleCare is over I'm left with another device that will demonstrate the problem over time.
    A couple of months ago on my iPhone 5 my home button experienced a different problem. Functionally it would work, but the rectangle in the home button would swivel left and right. It was obvious something was loose. So I exchanged that as well. They exchanged that one by mail - sending me a replacement and picking up the old one at the same time.
    I have never had a mobile device or notebook computer from Apple that didn't require multiple repairs. Apple always takes care of it in the end, but it takes a lot of mental preparation before making an Apple purchase because I know it will inevitablly mean having to get repairs or exchanges.
    Anyway, I'll just continue with double-clicking for multi-tasking in iOS 7 on my iPhone 5. There doesn't seem to be a simple alternative.
    Thanks,

  • Flash for iphone? or real money poker site?

    dose anyone know if the iphone will ever get flash? or dose anyone know of a site that works on the iphone that i will be able to play online poker for real money on???
    thanks guys

    No one knows when or if iphone will have flash. Apple and Adobe have expressed interest in making it work, but until it is announced no one will know.
    There are many articles and speculations about this. Here is one from earlier this year.

    How much is the tax for iPhone for 749$?
    32Gb At&T

    What is the sales tax percent in Omaha? If you don't know, you should be able to find it on Google. If the sales tax rate is, for example, 5%, multiply the price of the phone by 1.05.

  • ISkin Revo case for iPhone Unboxing & FI

    The following is my un-boxing & first impressions review of the iSkin revo for iPhone. I just got mine in the mail today, pulled out my camera and started shooting. A complete gallery of my unboxing and review pictures is available here:
    http://thatsrich.smugmug.com/gallery/3282911#182155384
    ==============
    1. iSkin ships their items through UPS. Because I live near Niagara Falls, NY, the standard shipping took only 3 days!
    2. They could have used a smaller box for the product.
    3. The revo does look a lot like what's shown online. Smooth colors; soft, yet firm material, and the edges have fine ridges that enhance the iPhone's grip in your hand.
    4. I had to work the iPhone into the skin by inserting the bottom half and then pulling the top half over the phone. Cleaning the iPhone (note: iKlear is the best~!) before fitting is a good idea. It took some work to get it in there, but I feel that this is a good sign of a sturdy, snug case. It basically "hugs" the iPhone very well, with a tiny exception underneath the earpiece. You'll notice it's a tiny bit off, but massaging the case works that out quickly.
    5. Good grip in the hand. I'm even confident that you can do thumb-texting without real risk of dropping the phone.
    6. The holes align perfectly. You see the camera hole is just right.
    7. The iSkin comes with a hard plastic ViSOR. Some will disagree with me on this, but my ViSOR fits in place with a good grip. I was even able to hold the iPhone by the ViSOR and it didn't come off. I would recommend using the ViSOR when in a pocket for a long haul, or on a flight. When not in use, it snaps easily in the back part of the case without adding any extra bulk.
    8. The case adds a little bulk to the phone, but what can you do? It's a case. Bulk is a trade-off for solid protection in the event of a drop. the iSkin delivers that well.
    9. I have the NLU Bodyguardz installed on the phone, so I am not using the privacy screen, and I don't plan to. The screen is clear and there is no effect on the touchscreen system. The Bodyguardz I have cover the entire phone, including the chrome bezel, so if lint and other stuff ever gets into the case, the Bodyguardz will keep it from scratching. Am I OD? Maybe, but again, how much did I pay for this 8GB iPhone? Ahhhh.
    10. The iSkin comes with a dock connector cover, which fits easily into the connector without covering the speaker or mic holes. However, this will probably a piece I might end up misplacing somewhere down the road.
    11. People have complained that the images of the iSkin on their website actually cover up the headphone jack. The jack is covered to protect debris from getting in there, but it conveniently flaps open to reveal the jack itself.
    12. I called my iPhone from my Skype account, and I still felt the vibration of the phone through the case. Good. Both my voice and EDGE coverage were unaffected by the case.
    ==============
    Apple suggests in their User's Guide that you look into getting a case for the iPhone. The iSkin Revo was released after the launch date, giving them an advantage to refine a good case. In a world of disappointing rubber iPhone cases, the iSkin can hold its own against scuffs, drops and the elements.

    I have had my case for a week and a half now and still love it as much as day one.
    I use the visor on my case and though it doesn't fit on tight, it has never come off while in my pocket.
    The case attracted lint and dust the first few days but stopped after I washed it with soap and water a few times.
    I have also taken the case off the phone twice so far and each time I put it on the phone, it fits just as snug as day one.
    Great case, glast I paid the money!
    Oh and if you order the nighthawk case, it appears like it's black on the website, but it's actually a very dark brown.

  • Adobe Fill & Sign for iPhone

    Hi there,
    I just back from the official product launch of Adobe Acrobat DC in Hong Kong. 
    During the launch, one speaker said that he got the job from Adobe in eight months ago and the witness of his employment contract is signed by his wife during office hour and is signed through her mobile phone.  I found that the app is quite convenient and so, I try to download the app to see the real power.  However, I just found an app called "Adobe Fill & Sign" for iPad.
    After that, I search here and check what is going wrong.  I found a user that facing same problem with me. One of Adobe staff replied the app "Adobe Fill & Sign" can use in iPhone & place a link of that app Q & A sheet to that user.  I also checked but no any solution on the page.  After a while,  there have another staff from Adobe and told the app is just for iPad with no any reason for explain on the issue.
    It totally mess.  Can anybody clarify the issue?  If there have an app for iPhone, why we can't found on iTunes?  If the app just serve iPad, why the guy made a fake story to promote your brand new Adobe Acrobat DC product in an official product launch?
    Please clarify.
    Tony Lam      

    I do apologize if there was marketing that showed or stated that it supported iPhone but Adobe Fill & Sign is currently iPad only, there is also an Android version that does support Android phones (Lollipop).  The team that works on the app is definitely aware of the requests for iPhone support, maybe that will come soon but I can't say either way.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Is there an official Rugby World Cup App for iPhone coming any time soon?

    Is there an official Rugby World Cup App for iPhone coming any time soon?

    Its good to know that I am not the only one left wondering about this!
    I expected the RWC 2011 website to post some information regarding this, though it appears they have something set up with Blackberry already.
    I'm holding out, hoping that an official app will come along, but some of the non-official ones seem quite decent.
    There seems to be a real lack of iDevice and Andriod official services/support for this RWC, which is a real shame because this would be the first RWC where you could combine the sport with great technology and communications.
    To me it appears the organizers missed a great oppertuinity or suck at planning/promoting.
    An iPhone/iPad official app would be fantastic!

    thanks

    One of my favorite things about developing for iOS using Xcode is the Simulator. It runs any of the iOS devices simulated right on your Mac. If you don't have a hardware device to test your application on, the Xcode simulator will surely be your best friend.
    So to answer your question less vaguely, yes. You can own the iPhone 5s and develop for the 6. There is no real release information of the iPhone 6 at the time anyways, so I would not let it play too large of a factor in your decision.

  • Can't create Ringtone for iPhone

    everytime I click on the ringtone symbol next to the song I want, it says that I need to accept the iTunes Store Terms of Service and that by clicking 'OK' it will direct me to that. Thing is, I've already accepted that and when I click OK, it does nothing. It's becoming a real pain..any ideas?

    I sent iTunes support a note about that and although they didn't answer my question directly, they got me around it. For what's worth, it did work; however, now I have a new problem. Long story short, don't create more than one ring tone for now. I'll post my crap about that momentarily...
    Here's what they wrote:
    First I want you to try to create a ringtone with the following steps:
    1) If you haven't already, upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, which is available free of charge on the iTunes website:
    http://www.itunes.com/download
    2) Open iTunes, access the iTunes Store, and look at a few songs. A bell icon next to a song indicates that you can make a ringtone from the song. The bell icon does not mean that the song itself is a ringtone. If you do not see any bell icons, choose View > View Options, select the Ringtone checkbox, and click OK. A ringtone column will appear and any eligible songs will have bells next to them. Purchase any ringtone-eligible song you like.
    3) Now click Purchased in the list on the left. If you do not see any bell icons, choose View > View Options, select the Ringtone checkbox, and click OK.
    4) Click the bell next to a song to begin making a ringtone. The ringtone editor will appear at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    5) Adjust the highlighted area to choose the part of the song (up to 30 seconds) you want to use as your ringtone. You can also choose to fade in or out the audio by clicking the checkboxes in the highlighted area.
    6) Select a "Looping" length, which will set the gap between each ring. Click Preview to hear your ringtone before purchasing. Once you're satisfied with your ringtone, click Buy. Your iTunes Store account will be charged 99 cents plus any applicable taxes. Any song credits or video credits that may be on your account will not be used toward the purchase.
    7) Your ringtone will appear in your iTunes library Ringtones playlist on the left side of the iTunes window.
    8) To sync the ringtone to your iPhone, connect your iPhone to your computer. In iTunes, select your iPhone on the left and click Sync. iTunes will automatically sync any ringtones you create. To sync specific ringtones, with the iPhone selected on the left, click the Ringtones tab, choose Selected ringtones, and click Apply. Check the ringtones you want to sync and click Sync.
    Please note that any ringtones you have previously synced to your iPhone will be replaced with the ringtones that you are currently syncing from your authorized iTunes library.
    To set a ringtone as your default ringtone, go to the Home screen on your iPhone. Tap the Settings icon, then tap Sounds. Tap Ringtone, then choose a ringtone. This will become your default ringtone.
    To assign a ringtone to a specific contact, go to the Home screen on your iPhone. Tap the the Phone icon, then go to your Contacts. Choose a contact, then tap Ringtone and choose the ringtone. When that contact calls, you will hear that ringtone.
    Please note that iTunes creates ringtones for iPhone only, and the ringtones you create with your iTunes Store account may not be transferred to other accounts. Also note that even if you create a ringtone from iTunes Plus (DRM-free) content, the purchased ringtone will include DRM-protection.

  • Problems with GB for iPhone?

    Hello. I purchased GB for iPhone and despite the Appple spin telling me how great it was, I cannot see anywheer on the very small interface that allows me to hear my guitar plugged into the iPhone in GB. I have been playing GB on my iMac for the past 6 months without problems and was very keen to have a mobile app to take away on holidays but so far this seems useless. I cannot even find what the Help page is referring ot on the main screen.
    Help anyone?

    I have just bought a 1st gen iPhone and had real real real trouble setting it up to pick up my BT mail. I copied all the details straight off of my Mac Pro Mail account and all i got was the spinning wheel telling me it was connecting. However i went through the settings enabled Push, and set it to 15 miinute intervals then opened up mail and just left it alone. If that does not always work i turn the phone off and back on again and hey presto. The only other thing i am finding is that with Wi-Fi on when at home the settings seem to get confused and my Mac Pro mail app gives me a "no connection" alert, but that might be to a sync problem. I am sure i will work it all out eventually

  • Apple only accept debit or credit card for iphone purchase

    Apple Inc. no longer accepts cash for iPhone purchases and now limits sales of the cell phone to two per person in a move to stop people from reselling them.
    The new policy started Thursday, said Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris. Before then, there was no cash restriction and the purchase limit was five per person.
    How can I buy an iphone i do not have a debit or credit card is that even legal not to accpet cash as i recall you must accept cash for any payments under $ 9,999.99
    im wondering is that legal since everybody doesnt have debit or credit cards and that would be discriminating customers

    Apple can invoke any policy they want for accepting tender for the purchase of the iPhone or any other product.
    It would be interesting if you or I went up to the counter and wanted to buy a Mac and they did accept cash in lieu of a debit or credit card. I believe that would be a "double standard".
    Having said that, the real issue I believe and what I read in the information released by Apple in their quarterly report last week is the unlocking of iPhones.
    It appears that there has been the development of a "cottage industry" in the business of unlocking the iPhone to the point where the President of Apple (not Steve Jobs) stated that they, Apple, believe that there are at least 250,000 iPhones that have not been activated through AT&T to date, i.e., through September 30, 2007.
    How the taking restricting of cash transactions for the iPhone will reduce the unlocking issue is beyond my comprehension. I could buy a number of iPhones two at a time with my debit card and/or my debit card by just showing up at a store a number of times. Just in my area alone, northern Virginia, there are 4 Apple Stores within 1.5 hours of my home.
    I have 5 credit cards and 2 debit cards. I could buy 14 iPhones without ever violating the new Apple policy. I guess I could also write a check off of my 3 checking accounts - that would permit me to buy 6 additional iPhones.
    Is Apple going to hold credit card or debit receipts to compare how many times an individual purchased an iPhone.
    If so, isn't that a potential security problem with regard to having that data around for other than electronic transfer purposes?
    There has to be some misunderstanding of the policy if in fact there is such a policy.
