Question re Verizon Samsung Charge phone and Gingerbread when we get it
Friday - 9/16/2011
ALL,
My question is, when the OFFICIAL Verizon OTA (Over The Air) version of Gingerbread comes out and I update my Samsung Charge Droid phone will it wipe out all my phones settings along with my music, videos, the APPs that I loaded, contacts, photos and so forth?
In other words, can it update to Gingerbread without affecting anything else except the phones operating system?

The update does not normally wipe system data when updating. Now as for your Music, Video and Photos, if the device gets wipe those items are stored on your sd card and the update does not bother the sd card at all so they shouldn't be lost.. Also your apps are stored and can be restored through the Market.
Check out this app if you want to backup apps only (No settings)... http://community.vzw.com/t5/Android-Apps/Simple-way-to-Backup-apps-for-Hard-Reset/td-p/658707
Under some case wiping the device before doing the update to avoid compatibility issues but the is your decision if you decide to do this but its a good ideal in my opinion.

I dropped my Samsung slide phone and now it won't lock or anything. I've already removed the battery and it didn't help, Any suggestions?
Oh no! Sounds like your phone has sustained physical damage pctrackmom. Do you have insurance? If so, you can process a claim for a replacement at http://bit.ly/07CrqPK at your convenience.

I had to reset my phone and now when I text my contacts are not showing up
I had to reset my phone and now when I send and receive text messages it is not showing the contact name only the phone number. Help.
This is a HUGE iOS bug.. Following a tip from another poster, I was able to fix the issue (temporarily).
This worked for me on Verizon.
I dialed *228 on my Verizon phone. I pressed "1" to activate it over the air. I then went into task manager and killed all the running apps.. Waited a few minutes.
The next text I got displayed the number correctly!.. Until I rebooted, that is.
PLEASE, call Apple and speak with a senior engineer on this. They can't fix it if they don't know it's a problem! (800) MY-IPHONE -

In the Contacts app, select "Groups" in the upper left hand corner.
Then select all the groups that are desired to be displayed.
Select Done.
Now search for the contact(s) in question. Do they appear now? -
My iPhone 4 wont turn on, It wont go passed the charging icon and then when I take the charger out it says it needs charge. Its not the charger as iv tried several and holding lock and home button doesnt work please help!!!!!
Hello there, Conorjl7.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some good, practical steps for troubleshooting issues with charging:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Why do my ringback tones play garbled when calling my phone and how do you get credit for the purchases?
Thanks,
DickDcoyle, We definitely know the importance of understanding options when it comes to ringback tones on your device. I'm truly sorry to learn that you've been experiencing distorted sound. Is this something that just started recently? Which device do you currently have with us? We'll look into this for you, indeed.

Why do i have so much other on my phone and how do i get rid of it
why do i have so much other on my phone and how do i get rid of it
Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

I recently wanted to update my phone and so when i put it in recovery mode and tried to set it up it said that i had to enter the apple id that i used to set up the phone the first time but i dont know the information to my old account what can i do?
You will need to remember or find the id that you used, without it you won't be able to re-activate your phone - if you are on the activation screen then does that show the first letter of the id and the email provider's name ?
Do you know if you have any of the account's downloads in computer's iTunes library - if you do then you can get the id form that : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name.
If not then see if you can find it via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID. -

I change phones and i am not getting regular txt messages because somehow the messages are still sending through imessage which i no longer have.... I deleted my phone number from the account though as per instructiions from the phone carrier and is still not working...Any help?
Hello jn_andrade,
It sounds like you are no longer getting text messages becuase your Apple ID is still using your phone number for iMessage. I would use these steps to unlink your phone number from your account:
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
From: iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
