O2 not doing early upgrade for 3GS like they did the 3G
Bit of a shame. Not surprised given the prices. Very expensive
Given the mediocre mega pixel hike (well scrape might be more accurate) and of course your compass! very handy these days :o) is the price worth an early upgrade?
I'll see out my 3G contract and then look at the competition. There are other offerings out there that do more than iPhone as far as feature set goes (ok they don't have the app store, but get an iPod Touch and use that instead of the iPhone and get a more feature rich mobile with say an 8 or 10 mega pixel camera and Bang and Olufsen sound for example - think Samsung Beat).
Might be cheaper to think about the 3G S Pay As You Go option and using that handset on your existing contract. Then you will qualify for a very nice reward this time next year as you will be out of contract

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.
The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update? -
So, I've been finding some contradictory information on this subject and I figured this would be a good place to ask. First, my story:
I've got a Samsung GalNex, and it's due for an upgrade June 3rd. Normally, this would be fine and dandy, but I'm actually leaving the country for two months on June 4th. Thus, if there's any problem with the new phone I will have zero time to fix it. I'm a bit gunshy of just rolling the dice because I've been suffering from the reception issues that apparently have plagued some GalNex adopters, and I'd rather not just rush in to another phone without that 14 day grace period on my side.
If there's any way I could upgrade early, that would be a tremendous help; Verizon has done right by me in the past, and I'm hoping they'll do so again. I'd really like to take care of this sooner rather than later; I've got a lot to deal with in the immediate lead up to the trip, and I'd rather not spend my last week in the States (during which I also have to work) running around trying to get this sorted out.
Thanks!I can definitely understand where you are coming from with all of this, Enki. While we do not have early upgrades, we can see if there are any available options or promos that may help out. I have sent you a Follow request. Please accept it, and send me a DM so I may assist!

Early upgrade for secondary line
I was hoping maybe somebody could shed some light on a few questions I have about the whole "early upgrade" deal
For starters, I am a secondary line on a family share plan with 4 other people. I am the only one who has (and will be getting) a smartphone. Will I be able to upgrade to the Droid X early even if I'm the only person out of 5 who gets a smartphone?
Also, I am listed as an "Account Manager" in the "My Verizon." Will the holder of the primary line need to be at the Verizon store to sign the new contract, or does my "account manager" status make me eligible to sign the new agreement?
Lastly, could the holder of the primary line wait until September (when all of us are actually due for an upgrade) to upgrade his phone and still be able to use his NE2 credit?
Thanks in advance for any help.Hi. I understand that you have questions regarding upgrading your phone and I can certainly help you from here. In order to check to see if you have an early upgrade available, you can check the primary number on the account to see if it is eligible. Only the primary number gets an early upgrade. You can always order the phone on that number when they are eligible because when you receive the phone, you can activate it on the line you want. You can check to see their upgrade eligibility by going to the "Shop" tab within your account, go to "Wireless" and click on the "Upgrade to new phone" option to check the dates for all of your lines.
If you are registered as an account manager online, you can login your account to order the phone, the account holder does not need to go to the store to sign a contract. If you are classified as an Account Manager, that does make you eligible to upgrade phones on the account.
Yes, if one of your lines are eligible for an upgrade, you do not need to upgrade now. You can wait and still get your discount.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks! -
Early Upgrade for Fascinate Owners
Since so many of us are having difficulty with our fascinate phones, and some of Verizon users have been able to exchange their phone for another phone, you would hope Verizon would at least provide the current fascinate users with a one time option of an early upgrade for those who are ineligible at this time for an upgrade. What Say you Verizon!!!!!
Based on the issues that Fascinate users are experiencing, it looks like there could be a common cause. Dropped/not received calls, slow network performance, lost network connectivity and poor battery life could all be linked back to the radio/antenna. I have also seen threads stating that the antenna in the Fascinate is of a poor design. If this can be proven, then there might be a legal recourse for the Fascinate owners.
Turn off 3G data and the phone's battery life improves dramatically. Turn on Wifi, connect to an AP and again, the battery life improves dramatically. Stand next to another Verizon Wireless user with another manufacture's phone and the notice the difference in cell strength between the two phones. The Fascinate usually will have less or no "Bars".
If this can be attributed to a "design flaw", then it should fall under electronics lemon laws.

As of today, neither sample songs on the music store nor songs already downloaded will play correctly. They are stuttery and slow. I have iTunes 10.5 and have not downloaded any upgrades for anything recently. They were working last night. Thoughts or advice?
I found a solution that worked for me. Here is what I did and where I found it.
"Looks like I tracked down the problem, it worked for me so I hope this works for everyone else experiencing problems. Go to your Task Manager and locate the program APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push)..... if you see this executing terminate the program and then startup iTunes and it should come up fine. You will see afterwards that APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push) starts back up but this is fine as long as iTunes has already started.
I tried playing both music and syncing up my iPhone with no problems. Note if you shutdown iTunes again you will have to terminate the process APSDaemon.exe (Apple Push) again. Haven't had time to see what in the world Apple Push is but this appears to have corrected the problem so that you can at least use iTunes and sync any device that needs to be synced.
Hope that helps everyone!"

i tried to fix screen rotation on my ipad 2 after upgrading to ios 7. did the lock / unlock button, the on/off and even reset to factory settings... nothing works... do not know what to do... any suggestions?
When you reset to factory settings, did you restore as new or did you restore from a backup? If you restored from a backup, you could try restoring as new and don't use the backup. If you do that, you will lose all of your data, but you can download or sync all of your content back to the iPad.
You could also try resetting all settings before your restore as new. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. You will have to re enter all device settings again.
And of course the possibility does exist that the iPad has developed a hardware problem that is causing the rotation issue and only a visit to an Apple Store could determine that for sure. -
I restored my pc and now it won't open itunes, when i try to, it reads " this version of itunes has not been correctly localized for this language. please run the english version." how do i fix this so i can open my itunes and back up my iphone?
Hey KEBENNETT,
It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally.
I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:

All the best,

I tried to open iTunes but this pop up keeps showing.
This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language. please run the english version
What should i do?Personally i would save all my existing items to another file. Delete the itunes and Download a new copy from Apple support pages and reinstall. Hopefully that won't have messed up your music. But if it does then delete all content fron Itunes and reimport your back up data

what do i do because whenever i click on itunes it says 'this version of itunes has not correctly been localized for this language. please run the english version. its in english already? its only been doing this since today because i had to restore my laptop to a restore point, but itunes was working fine on that day?
Hello yazzie-dee,
I would recommend uninstalling, then downloading and reinstalling iTunes.

hello sofg777, when you're at a page you want to print try to press ctrl+P and select a different printer than the Microsoft XPS Document Writer which seems to be set as your default printer in firefox at the moment.

When I tried to download the new version of firefox I get an error message that says "your computer must be restarted to complete an earlier upgrade" when I restart it says the same thing. I cannot use firefox at all at the moment. When I try to uninstall in the control panel, the same message pops up.
If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
