Push to Talk on Android Phones

Will Verizon ever release a push to talk app for our android phones (Thunderbolt and DroidX) so we can communicate with other Verizon push to talk customers?

Who says you only want to talk to other Android phones?
Well, if you stop and think about what the OP is saying, with a company full of PTT flip-phones they cannot use all the fancy messging of which you speak. Only Verzion PTT.
I have multiple ruggedized handsets with PTT-only service (can't even voice out) that we issue to workers in the field. Unfortunately I cannot issue Android-based handsets to my managers because there is not way for them to talk to the workers. Sure, they could add a market PTT app like Tiki but that will only allow Android phones to talk to each other. The only impractical solutions, which undermines the whole PTT concept, is to issue two phones to managers.
It's a loose - loose situation for both me and Verizon.
Oh well, I don't need the added expense of paying for data plans for my managers anyway.

Trying to connect my iphone 4 to my home wifi network! my android phone gives me the option of pushing the arrows button on my router and on my android phone but cannot find the "push the arrows button" option on my iphone 4. is this option available???

No such option on an iPhone. Just go to Settings>wifi, tap the name (SSID) of your your home network from the list, then when prompted, enter the password.

Hi GUYS,
I have got a problem when pushing CA to Android phones from Win 2008, i have already connected to my SSID and got the IP, then i open my browser and enter http://1.1.1.1, the web is redirected to the Device Self-regist like https://ip:port/guestportal/gateway?sessionId=SessionIdValue&action=nsp, however this website cannot be visited. my ACL in the WLC is correctly configured which has the access to my ISE like permit ip any host 10.10.10.70 and permit ip host 10.10.10.70 any. My authorization profile in ISE is configured as "Web authentication       supplicant provision      ACL    'my ACL'".

How can you lock the screen on iPhone in iOS 7 while talking on the phone?

I am struggling to figure out how to lock the screen of my iPhone 5 during a phone call. In iOS 6, I was able to push the top "on/off" button to lock the screen. In iOS 7, I am able to do this ONLY while using the speakerphone. If I push this button while talking on the phone regularly or using a headphone, it ends the call rather than locking the screen.
I have found that I am muting calls and disconnecting calls accidentially with my "face" while holding the phone b/c the screen is so sensitive. Does anyone know a way around this?

I dont know of a way round this, but im having the same issue of puttig people on hold when putting the phone up to my ear.
This was an issue with the iphone 4 years ago and apple had to do an update to cure it

5140i - v03.80 - Missing Push to Talk menu item

Hello all,
I have a 5140i S40 phone running firmware version 03.80 RM-104.
The official user manual says Push to Talk should be available on this phone. It has an entire section on how to configure the PTT application. I'm assuming it's on the ROM.
The problem is that the Push to Talk application is missing from my phone. Its not listed anywhere in the menus or configuration of the phone.
How do I get it back?
John

If you have an operator customized version, the operator (carrier, service provider) may have requested Nokia to remove it from the firmware.
It may also be available as a separate, user-installable app, but as far as I know, Nokia is no longer developing the PTT (or PoC, Push to talk over Cellular, as Nokia called it) technology, and they're probably not distributing the installation packages, either.
Note that if your operator does not support Nokia's PTT, then having it in the phone is useless anyway. In other words, if operator has not purchased and still run Nokia's PTT servers, the PTT app on the phone has nothing it can connect to.
Also, if only you have a PTT app, it is also useless, unless also people you want to use it with, also have the same PTT app, and also use the same network operator, and have also subscribed to the PTT service of that operator.
Alternative (for phones that support it): An IP telephony (VoIP, Voice over IP) solution, like Skype, Fring, etc.

Can I stream through my Apple TV from my Android phone?

CCan I stream from my Android phone to my Apple TV

You can only stream from your mac using iTunes. You can't 'push' video from a website for example.
For the home-sharing. Is your computer on and running iTunes? Are the videos in the correct format?
It needs to meet the compatibility of the ATV
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
In iTunes you need to go to advanced - choose photos to share, if you haven't done so already.

Approve purchases- family share with android phone

Our kids have iPods and we have iPads as well. Our mobile phones are Android based. I set upfamily sharebut would like to have the ability to approve or decline purchase requests using my android phone. I know that there isiCloud for Windows but haven't seen anything for Android. Does anyone know of a way to approve or deny purchases using an Android phone? Thanks for any help!

According to this site (http://www.bgr.com/2010/11/06/verizon-wireless-testing-sprint-like-70-450-minute-unlimited-plan/), Verizon is coming out with a Family Share Plan with unlimited data & text and 1400 minutes of shared talk time for $139.99 a month.
This is $10 a month higher then Sprint and has 100 fewer shared minutes. It also includes GPS Navigation, Sprint TV and Radio, and NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile which isn't available with Version. I think Verzon has a navigation and video service but they charge for it.

Those of you with android phones and network extenders

according to verizion tech support, there is a known issue with ALL android phones (it's an android os issue they say) that causes the phone to not display the signal strength properly when you're on a network extender.
I have had mine for several months, called in several times about issues and was never informed of this until recently.

I have the same problem, in fact I even have a 1mm gap between the rim and the top case, above the DVD slot. The rim is flexible and my right hand pushes it inevitably down when writing. The top case makes a slight noise when resting my hand on it, as it warps down and hits the DVD player. I've shown it to a genius but he said that's "normal" and if at all it is an cosmetic issue only and isn't covered. I told the technician to at least tighten things up when replacing my keyboard to fix my missing letter problem (didn't help the letters btw), which he confirmed, but there was no difference afterwards which indicates that the parts just don't fit properly, even with tightened screws. It annoys me a little but there are still other issues which are more irritating. I love the OS but I'm deeply disappointed by the hardware. Looks sexy but there are serious quality issues which puts my MBP behind many PC brands. Looks and coolness aren't everything.

Android phone, no carrier

Hello all.
I am from Denmark, travelling to the states in late June. I want to buy a new android phone, but I have some concerns:
1) How do I ensure that the phone will work in Europe
2) Is it possible to buy android phone without a contract with a US-carrier - as far as I can see from the website, I can buy the Google Nexus S withoit a carrier, but I would rather buy the Samsung Galax S II - if it is available in the US at that time.
Br, Henrik

1) Check support for the 3G bands used in your country. Quadband GSM is almost a given for Android phones, however previously nearly all phones that supported the US UMTS bands also supported UMTS2100 (European 3G), however, that is no longer a given. For example, the HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T does not support UMTS2100.
2) Not sure. Possibly - prices will be significantly higher. The phone will come locked but the carrier might unlock it if it's no-contract. Talk directly to the carriers for this, this is a "corner case" where store employees at non-carrier-owned stores will have insufficient training. Even employees at carrier-owned stores may refer you to their customer service call center.

Why is Apple forcing me to buy an Android phone?

I am paying hundreds of dollars a month because Apple has refused to let any Canadian carriers sell iPhones with North America Wide unlimited Talk & Data plans. However all of them offer this on Android (with HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS IN SAVINGS).
Why can't apple allow at least 1 phone with this type of plan? I would LOVE to be spending this money on other apple products, rather than paying the wireless providers!!!
THIS *****!!!

It's not my supplier. Here in Canada we have at least 5 carriers that offer the iPhone. TELUS, Rogers, Fido, Koodo, and Bell. Not one of them are able to offer the iPhone with unlimited data & voice plans.
However ALL OF THEM offer Android phones with this option, as well as HTC Phones, and Blackberry....in fact every carrier offers North American unlimited data and voice plans with every other phone manufacturer...the ONLY phone you can't get it with is the iPhone.
There isn't any way these carriers could all be avoiding this type of plan unless they were being told they couldn't. I wouldn't have believed the salespeople in the stores if I hadn't been told the same thing in every store on the same day!!
I currently my family owns 3 Apple computers, 2 iPhones, 1 iPad and 1 apple TV.
It's a shame that I have to go android with my phone now, but it appears that apple isn't interested in helping consumers maintain reasonable plan pricing against google.

Printing email from my Motorola android phone

When I send an email form my Android phone to my Photosmart 5514 printer I get the following error.
550 5.7.0 bad DKIM signature data [BODY]
I can print from my PC and my ipad with no problem.

The whole DKIM issue is with HP, has nothing to do with server updates at all and that is just a line of crap.
HpEprint mail servers run off Postini and Postini cannot handle DKIM requests that most email servers, or professional ones now a days run. DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) lets an organization take responsibility for a message that is in transit. The organization is a handler of the message, either as its originator or as an intermediary. Their reputation is the basis for evaluating whether to trust the message for further handling, such as delivery. Technically DKIM provides a method for validating a domain name identity that is associated with a message through cryptographic authentication.
Being that HP does not know how to set this up on their Postini Mail Server is why your mail server is having problems. This has been like this since the launch of HP EPrint, and HP has no intention of addressing the issue. The only thing you can do is if you run your own email server is to deactivate DKIM settings on your server, personally I would not do that as it defeats the purpose of DKIM Security. I have been banging my head against the wall with HP trying to tell them how to fix this but they just turn a blind eye. I used to be a teir 2 for HP and am well aware of this problem and the simplicity for them to turn on DKIM settings on their server to no avail.
So in short it is much easier to just disable HP Eprint and use Google Cloud Print, it is much better than HP crap anyhow.
So do not let a bunch of call center computer wannabe's tell you anything else, they are full of **bleep**. I run my own mail server and have for over 20 years, I know what I am talking about.

Is there ANY way to send something through Bluetooth to an android phone?

Is there ANY way to send something through Bluetooth to an android phone?

I think I sorted it out:
On your Mac, go to the Bluetooth preferences panel after pairing your (your android phone) to the Mac.
Select (your android phone) in the left-hand menu, then use the little cog to pull down a list of options.
Select "Edit serial ports..."
Click the '+' icon, and in the Port Settings section, select OBEX Object Push.
Protocol should be automatically set to RS-232. Click "apply" (and probably "require pairing" to be nice n secure) et voila!!
so far, so good

Push-to-talk menu doesn't existe on Nokia 6300

Hi everybody and sorry for my english, 'cause i'm french speaker most of the time. i'm the owner of new 6300 Nokia with un old Orange Contract.
1: so i've got this new 6300 nokia model yesterday (after i changed another one who wasn't recognising my sim card)witch seems to miss this push-to-talk menu: what semms to be the problem, cause in the user guide it is?
2: in the same time i didn't find where we can check the level of the baterrie, ...if it exist;
3: can we change the ring tone of the amarm clock? if it is so where?
Thanks, Janyjane

Hi janyjane I think for the push to talk function you need to phone your network up and ask them to activate it. As for the battery life i don't know of any other way to check it Only the top left corner. As for the alarm tone if you go into where your music is (ie) your memory card go to your music scroll down to the tune you want and go into options scroll down to use tone and select alarm from the list. Hope this helps. Cheers Andy

I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. Any suggestions?

I just got an iphone. I cannot send a text message to anyone with an android phone. I have tried turning imessage off and also wifi off. Any other suggestions? Most of my family including my husband currently have android phones and I need to be able to talk to them. I can send messages to iphones and ipads but not their phones. What can I do??

I don't see the "Start new conversation from:" I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes last night on the phone with Verizon. We completely reset the phone after backing it up to icloud. His conclusion was I need a new SIM card and I will not be able to go take care of that until tonight. I don't know if that will fix it or not but that is what he said...
