Is there a way to truly "unlock" my Pantech Hotshot so I can answer it while driving without causing a wreck?

Okay, maybe I'm just not understanding something, but here goes.  I recently "upgraded" from my 1990's era flip phone to something more "modern", and so far I'm thinking it's one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made.  In my ongoing quest to just be able to actually use my Pantech Hotshot, the most recent situation I'm facing is figuring out an easy way to answer the thing without have to slide up the locking bar and then press another icon.  My wife called me yesterday while I was on the way home, and in trying to fiddle with the blasted thing I missed the call and it went to voicemail.  I then pulled over into an office parking lot to call her back, lest I kill myself and someone else on the road.  Here is the closest thing I find about this issue in the user manual:
CALL SETTINGS
Allows you to customize the call settings of your phone. HOME KEY TO ANSWER Allows you to answer incoming calls when you press the Home key. 1. Unlock the screen, tap Settings and then tap Call Settings. 2. Tap ON or OFF next to Home Key To Answer
In actual usage, all this seems to mean is that I can hit the Home Key to answer the phone, after I have slid up the locking bar.  What I think I'm looking for is a way to totally disable the locking bar so I can just answer phone with going through multiple gyrations while driving.  Any insights on this out there would be most appreciated.
I do so miss my flip phone.  All I had to when receiving a call was flip it open and say hello.  And pulling up my contact list to make a call was an easy, one-handed operation.  I don't see how fiddling with a touch screen is progress, but maybe I just don't get the big picture.
Thanks all.

  • Is there a way if i borrow my sons ipad,that i can connect to my PC without eraseing any content on his ipad

    i want to borrow my sons ipad but before i do so is there a way of connecting to my pc and not eraseing anything on his ipad,or is this not possable,if it can be done what settings would i need to perform to use it,i will have it for a few weeks so i would need at some point to connect to my PC

    The settings on the iPad are tied to the account - if you connect to the iPad using your own iTunes account, it will wipe out his. However, if you are going to be the only user for a few weeks, then it's not a problem - have your son back up the iPad on his machine, then when you connect to it use your iTunes account and use it as you need. When you are done, your son can restore it from his backup.

  • I have iphone that locked icloud that phone im buy from online  is there any way to make   unlocked icloud id

    No. The original owner who has the contract with the carrier is the only one who can unlock it once he meets the requirements of the carrier.

  • I noticed that touch id can be bypassed by swiping and entering passcode.  Is there any way to turn off the passcode, so the phone can ONLY be unlocked using your fingerprint?

    I noticed that touch id can be bypassed by swiping the screen and entering your passcode.  Is there any way to turn off the passcode, so the phone can ONLY be unlocked via fingerprint?  I liked the idea of having the extra security of a fingerprint sensor, but not if the phone can still be unlocked using only the passcode.  Then, what's the point of touch id?  Am I missing something here?

    What happens if the touch ID sensor gets broken?  It is a backup method to get in to your device.
    Consider editing your lock screen passcode, changing it from a simple 4 digit code, to a longer more complex password.

  • Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen?

    Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen? An if-then statement perhaps?  I am looking to add over 100 drop down options and would like to have a message automatically pop up depending one which option they chose.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    You would use the skip logic to conditionally show form items based on the selection within the drop-down menu. Here's a link to a description of the feature in our help documentation:

    Not exactly your own app store, but close.  Apple has an App Store Volume Purchasing Program for Business > http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
    It allows you to purchase apps in any quantity you desire and pay using a company credit card.  You will receive a spreadsheet of redeem codes which you distribute to your emloyees.  The program guide has complete information > http://images.apple.com/business/docs/VPP_Business_Guide_US.pdf

  • Is there a way to rate videos on the iPod like you can in iTunes?

    Is there a way to rate videos on the iPod like you can in iTunes? In iTunes I can assign 0 to 5 stars to a video. Can this be done on the iPod?
    Thanks.

    When I click the center button I only get the diamond that allows me to FF or RW with the track pad and if I click again I get the brightness adjustment but thats it. I have tried all the video types and it doesn't make a difference. If anyone has gotten this to work on their Classic please let me know. Thanks.

  • Is there a way to include material in a DVD that some CAN copy?

    Is there a way to include material in a DVD that some CAN copy?
    I have a 30min project that I am going to burn that is copyrighted. But I’d like to add some stills or maybe a screensaver that the purchaser could copy from the disk and use.
    Thanks!

    Copyright is not the same thing as copy protect. Your material may very well be copyrighted, but it won't be copy protected if you are burning the DVD in your Superdrive. You must use a replication house to get copy protection. If you do this, you can include copyable stuff on the disc. I've seen commercial disks with PDF files, etc that you can freely use. I have no experience on how to do it though.
    But, don't fool yourself. There really is no copy protection anymore on DVDs. Anyone with an internet connection can figure out how to defeat it using software available free on the internet. All you can do is make it a hassle to copy it.

  • Is there a way to easily batch convert hundreds of video files to h.264, while retaining the original dimensions, metadata, etc.?

    I am organizing my library of stock video footage so is easily view (show to clients) and access. I need advice for two things:
    First: What is a good program to catalog footage in? I am considering using iTunes because I already have it and I could setup smart folders to easily organize footage.
    Second: I would like to encode all the footage to h.264 so I can preview it in Quicktime and add it to an iTunes library. My problem is all the footage is in a wide variety of dimensions, formats, framerates, strange codecs etc. I have access to Adobe Media Encoder and Apple Compressor. Is there a way to easily batch convert hundreds of video files to h.264, while retaining the original dimensions, metadata, etc.?
    I have tried using a watch folder in AME but it freezes every time I add the folder...
    Thanks for any help!

    "including library and music folders) from my computer"
    Did you move the entire iTunes folder the hold Option, select Choose library and select the iTunes folder you moved?

  • Is there a way to make text bigger on text messages or is there a way to save messages on my computer so i can print them on my iPhone 3

    is there a way to make text bigger on text messages or is there a way to save messages on my computer so i can print them on my iPhone 3

    Zoom will enlarge anything on the screen, simply double tap with three fingers.
    To turn Zoom on/off go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom.
    Large text may also work for you.
    Settings > General > Accessibility > Large text.  Select the font size that works best for you.
    Printing or accessing text messages via the computer is not support.  Google it and you will find options.
    You can also copy and past the content into an email to send to yourself.  Then that email could be printed out.

    My daughter lost her ipod somewhere in the house.  Unfortunately it is offline. My home has WiFi is there a way to some how wake it up so we can find it?

    No. If it is offline then there is no way to find it on the web. The device must respond in order to be located.

  • Is there a way to make a website in flash, the client can edit?

    is there a way to make a website in flash, the client can edit? if not which is the best tool to use?
    thanks!

    I said "such as" for a reason.  There are various forms that data resources can take, such as simple name=value text files, but if you are shy of learning xml then you are likely shy of other file forms as well.
    Another way would be to have the client purchase Flash and then they can edit the Flash source file themselves.
    Unfortunately, to do what you want, either you or the client has to learn/understand the tools that are involved.

  • Is there a way to unpublish a flash file so that I can go back to working on it?

    Hello,
    I am submitting this to help a friend in her digital art class.
    Is there a way to unpublish a flash file so that I can go back to working on it? Sort of like going back to revisions in word and being able to start back at any of the revisions.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    If you're talking about having the FLA and you want to open it and revert back to some older version of the FLA, no you can't do that. Managing versions of FLAs is up to you.
    If you don't own the SWF then decompiling can be copyright infringement. If you do, it doesn't always work. There are many settings stripped from SWFs that FLAs have (graphics/audio compressed, etc).

  • Is there a way to lock an app so no one else can get into it?

    Is there any way to lock an app so no one else can get into it?

    Not really.  You can hide an app in restrictions, but iPad is a single user device, so there is no real way to lock an active app from others if you let them use your iPad.
