Smart Phone of your choice?

Hi all,
which would be the (iSync-compatible) Smart Phone of your choice?
Blackberry is not really Mac-compatible, the latest SE phones don't support Macs...
Thanks a lot for a bit of personal advice.
Peter

Are you kidding?
Palm OS-based Treo smartphones synchronize natively with iSync, though not nearly as well as they do using the Missing Sync for Palm OS:

Hundreds of Windows Mobile OS-based smartphones, including those Palm Treo models which use it, synchronize using the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile:

Pre-Windows Mobile 5 OS devices are supported also by an application from Information Appliance Associates, the publishers of PocketMac for BlackBerry, who have promised an upgrade to Windows Mobile 5 support for nearly a year now, but have yet to deliver.
One could argue all day about classifying a Blackberry as a smartphone—it's not one by traditional definition—but it's supported via the free PocketMac for BlackBerry published by Information Appliance Associates and hosted by Research In Motion, and will soon be supported by the about-to-be released Missing Sync for BlackBerry:
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_blackberry.php
Mark/Space advertises that product in pre-release announcements as offering a "reliable BlackBerry sync" experience. I'll leave it to the 'crackberry' addicts to argue whether or not such an experience is offered to users of PocketMac for BlackBerry. I haven't had much luck with the one product I purchased from Information Appliance Associates.

What is the charge per month to add on another smart phone to your existing plan??

Want to add another smart phone to my plan, trying to find out how much extra my bill will be per month. I would appreciate any input.

Hello fedup2003, How exciting that you're considering adding a new line of service with us! I appreciate rcschnoor for being extremenly helpful in answering, as well. With our More Everything plans, adding a new smartphone to your account would result in an additional $40 per month so that phone could benefit from the Unlimited Call and Unlimited Text feature. Although changing your data allowance is optional, you'll want to consider increasing your current data allowance from 250mb to encompass the expected data use for your new smartphone line. Here's a link with the pricing for our More Everything plan data tiers http://vz.to/1ja4rAJ . When ready you can process the Add-a- line option here http://vz.to/1ja4rAJ : I hope this information was helpful in your decision making. Please let us know if you have further questions.

I have a Droid Bionice, my 1st Smart phone. An install kept coming up ,I did it and everything has changed. I don't knpw what to do...Help...smart phone...dumb person

I bought a Droid Bionic Smart Phone. I loved it so very much. When I was on it and install kept coming up, over & over. I Don't know what it was called but I did look and it didn't say Verizon anywhere but I assumed w/my Lookout security app it wouldn't let anything bad in. But I downloaded it now my icons are different and on my manage apps I use to have only maybe 20 settings now I have a bunch. and the lil icon looks like a blue square app w/the lil cog looking symbol in it. Everytime I try to delete one thinking it will go back to the way it was it says it will cause problems w/all other settings. And also after the icom it says com.motorola.android.deep it says that on about 20 or 25 after the icon.It won't let me disable any of them.
The very 1st icon on my Apps on ,y Apps setting is the blue symbol that looks like a cog, and it has 32.00KB if I try to disable that because I figure it's the mother of all of them it says in a pop up...Disable built -in app-----If you disable a built in app, other apps may misbehave.? That doesn't sound very professional to me.One even says key chain for the app. I don't know what to do. I did look at it and I assumed when it popped up it was a legit thing. I didnt know you had to beware of something that was a pop up on the page.
I don't know if it's a Gingerbread or Ice Cream thing, I just know when I go to my settings it has overtaken 3/4th of my apps. And on most of them it doesny even offer me the chance or choice to disable it. Please somebody help me. I am so new to this. I loved my phone before now it's taken Over everything. I am scared if I run some of the things I see it says on my settings app it runs my phone,it says for instance:
Permission
This App can access the following on your phone
*YOUR LOCATION
coarse (network-based) location,fine (GPS) location
*SYSTEM TOOLS
modify global system settings
STORAGE
SYNC SERVICE
I dont know what any of this is and it says if I stop of close any of it , it will cause the app to fail.
How can I tell what I have downloaded as far as this whole montrosity....SO I can study it and read up what to do. I do't want to lodr my pictures or my pictures on my gallery/ I am afraid I have really screwed it up good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THANK ANYBODY THAT CAN HELP ME IN ADVANCE....

Still getting conflicting answers about upgrading a line to smart phone

A the risk of incurring the ire of some people, I simply feel compelled to restate my question about converting a basic (existing line) phone to a smart phone after 6/28. My question is sincere not asked in a cynical way, and I am still unsure of the answer because of differing answers even within the official ranks of verizon. I understand all the elements of the 'awesome' new share plan (even though I prefer to avoid it for now). So, if anyone knows where to find the specific documentation that refers to this would you please offer links to said documents. Direct answers, even from people who Identify themselves as support personnel (here in forums) have as recently as yesterday, been shown wrong. While I offer thanks to anyone just for the effort of replying I would prefer authoritative responses, and here again, individuals have (as often as support reps) given accurate answers. Simply stated once more I would like to know "When I need to upgrade my daughters phone In AUGUST, from a basic phone to a smart phone will verizon allow me to purchase the phone upgrade AND add 2gb data package for 30$". There would seem to be no ambiguity in the question, however in the face of opposing answers it just defies logic . The ONLY reason I am confused is because verizon reps have at been odds with each other. Documents are more reassuring and if anyone can offer links I would appreciate it. I have even considered acquiring a phone from outside vzw but had been told even that avenue would not allow me to add a data package to my EXISTING account. Truth oh truth how illusive thou be.
P.S. strictly for the sake of discussion, I will say that my viewpoint of the low quality of VZW customer service reflects this and other instances of inaccurate and false answers from this company. They just get it wrong too much to have a high rating from me even though others may have had different experiences.

Scroll down to "tell me more". Last question. "I have an unlimited data plan on my account. Do I need to change it?"
"You're not required to move to Share Everything but if you do, unlimited data will not be retained on your line. As a Verizon Wireless customer you have choices when you upgrade at discounted pricing. You can choose from a standalone data package starting at $30 for 2GB or a Share Everything Plan. If keeping unlimited is important to you, you can choose to upgrade and pay full retail price for the phone."
I imagine that this would be the same as upgrading a basic phone to a smart phone. You can add a data package to the line you are upgrading (that it currently does not have) and it won't affect the unlimited on your Droid's line(s). It's only when you try to upgrade the lines that currently have unlimited that you won't be able to keep the unlimited data. You can choose to move everybody on the plan to a shared data plan, or move to a tiered data plan. You just can't keep unlimited when you upgrade at a discounted price.

Setting up email on smart phone with folders on An...

Hi
I am having trouble settiing up emai on my smart phone. I can set it up ok but cannot get all my folders.
I have followed the guides as listed (even though some is contradictory) using Imap or Pop3 with and without SSL.
Please can someone give me a step by step guide (dont refer me to the links please as some say use IMAP and some say since you have changed from yahoo use pop3) i have done both - neither work!
I dont know what to do!!
Thanks in advance

To see the folders that are on the BT servers you will need to set your phone email up as an IMAP account. You can use the onboard app or download an email app. I use the Aquamail App and find it very good and was easy to set up.
If you use the onboard app make sure you set it up manually and select IMAP. The Aquamail App more or less sets itself up but if needed youuse the same settings.
The settings you need are:
Incoming:
Username : [email protected]
Password: xxxxxxxx
IMAP Server: mail.btinternet.com
Security: None
Port:993
Outgoing:
SMTP Server: mail.btinternet.com
Security type: None
Port: 465

My yahoo e-mail not pushing to iPhone4, again. Had this same problem in October for several weeks. My kids and husband have 3 other types of smart phones, and none of them are experiencing this problems. This has been going on for 2 weeks so far.

My yahoo e-mail is not pushing to my iPhone4, again. Had this same problem for several weeks in October/November 2011. It's been a problem again for two weeks now. My kids and husband have three other types of smart phones, and none of them have had this problem. I'm NOT impressed. I've seen that others in the iPhone community have also been having this problem. Is Apple doing anything about it?

It's a yahoo issue. Nothing you can do on your phone to fix it.

My new IPad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of the reception. In the same location, my PC and my smart phone get a full bar connection without any issues. How can I do to fix the issues (can I switch to IPad 2)?

My new Ipad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of reception. In the same location, my Windows 7 PC and Andorid Smart phone can connect to the same WIFI without any issues. How can I fix it? Without WIFI, the WIFI only IPAD is nearly useless. If it cannot be fixed, can I get a replacement for IPad 2?

Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. If defective, you'll get a replacement.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

*611 not working on pay-as-you-go, non-smart phone

I have a basic, non-smart phone with the pay-as-you-go plan (pay $100, good for one year, all calls 25 cents a minute.) It is an older Audiovox 8615 CDMA phone that is mobile-web enabled, but it will not handle apps such as MyVerizon. Incoming and outgoing calls work fine. Voicemail works fine. Text works fine. I have had this account for two years and have been very happy with the service.
Problem: I can no longer reach *611 (add money, check balance), or #225 (check balance). I get an "All circuits are busy, please try your call again later" message. I first noticed this several days ago and have reported it and have a repair ticket in, but was wondering if anyone knows what might be going on here? I have internet service and a laptop, so can still use the Verizon Wireless web site to manage my account. However, I believe I should still be able to check my balance or add funds using the phone itself, as I have in the past. Thoughts?

Just got off the phone with Verizon Prepaid customer service rep who called to report on my trouble ticket. The problem is most likely my phone and not the network. She suggested doing a factory reset on the phone and if that does not resolve the problem, I'll need to get a newer phone. Just posting this follow-up in case others have a similar problem.

When I send a text message to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes throug blank. When I send a message to them one at a time it will go through but not multiple addresses. Can this problem be fixed?

When I send a text message on my iPhone 4s to my two children with non-smart phones, the message comes through blank. If I send it to each one individually, it will go through ok. Is this a problem with my phone or it is something I am doing wrong.

Check your phone to make sure MMS is turned on. If it is, check with your cell provider and make sure your phone is provisioned correctly.

After a Windows 8.1 automatic update yesterday my other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc can't use my routers wireless signal unless my laptop is turned on

Hi guys, please help, I'm desperate.
After an automatic update to my windows 8.1 yesterday none of my other other wireless devices like smart phones, tablets, etc. can join my wireless network unless my laptop is turned on. If I turn my laptop off, after a couple of minutes my iphone,
my wife's iphone and my Galaxy Tab lose connection and are unable to join my router's network. When I turn my laptop back on, all the other devices are able to use my router's wireless internet without any problems. How can I fix this???
Thanks.

Hi,
First, I suggest to reset the router, meanwhile disable the network card and enable it again, because it is obviously network issue.
Then, as you post this happened after windows update, try to find the update that was already installed on your computer
Restore your computer by following the way listed below:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
Hide the update if it is not an important one and related to wireless internet according to this article:

I hope it works for you .

I have what I consider the best smart phone on the market, but I resently upgraded my Windows Vista PC to Windows 8 and my Itunes went away. Is there anything that I did wrong or aren't the two compatible?

I have what I consider the best smart phone. I recently upgraded my PC from Windows Vista to Windows 8 and my Itunes went away. Did I do something wrong or aren't the two compatible?

If the update did not preserve all your Applications you may simply have to download iTunes again and instrall it on Windows 8.
There's nothing strange about an update not preserving installed Applications.

Early Termination for Upgrading to Smart Phones

I am really frustrated with Verizon right now. I have plan with several smart phones and 2 basic phones. I wanted to upgrade these 2 phones to Smart Phones. I couldn't imagine that this would be an issue. Verizon only earns more money by having me purchase smart phones instead of basic phones. I was told that I can't upgrade until September when the contract on these basic phones is up unless I want to pay a $175 early termination fee per phone. I understand that in general, you need people to stay with the contract for the 2 years in order to cover the price of the phone they were given. In this case, these are cheap phones. I'm sure they have been paid for many times over in the past year. If I upgrade, verizon will be getting $40 a month per phone instead of $20 a month per phone. I might even upgrade the Data plan. Instead I am completely trapped until September. $175 Termination fee would be way more than these basic phones are worth. I am tempted to go to another carrier and start a new contract and let these run out - it will actually cost me less to pay the bill for these phones and not use them than to pay for an early termination fee. Or maybe I'll try one of the comanies that offers to pay your termination fee. Verizon - you are not making sense! P.S. If you want my basic phones back, you can have 'em.

Unfortunately Joe, VZW can't bend the rules just to satisfy you or anyone else. I know you may think that it would be only smart for them to let you out to get another phone plan that will yield them more revenue. However, they're not seeing it that way in your case. Rule are rules regardless of if we like them or not. I upgraded my iP5 to an iP6+ in September. I was less than 2 months on the end of of current 2 year agreement...but because I used Early EDGE I had to give away my phone, which I was 2 months from owning outright, back to VZW for absolutely no compensation just to enjoy the offer of Early EDGE. Fair...maybe not to most. Some people would think that VZW should have just let them out since they were so close to the end...but I didn't see it that way. I understood my agreement when I signed up and therefore I knew I had to uphold my end of the bargain. My point is, VZW makes exceptions for a lot of things...but I've never really heard anyone on here say that they've bumped up an upgrade just because they were asked by the consumer. Best of luck to you with your next carrier...but be advise that I don't think many other carriers are going to bump your upgrade date just because you ask...they'll inform you that if you plan to upgrade earlier than 2 years then you'd probably want to try their version of EDGE...(i.e. Next, JUMP, or Easy Pay)

I have an ipod nano, and an HP laptop. I've purchased music from the itunes store, as well as down loaded most of my cd's to the library. My question is: how do I get all this music into my Samsung smart phone?

I've spent the last 6 months purchasing from the istore and downloading CD's to my library, in preparation for a 6000km cruiser trip on my motorcycle this summer. Only to find out that I cannot download from itunes to my Samsung smart phone. Does anyone know why, or does anyone know how? I called Mac tech support and they told me it cannot be done, I have to purchase an iphone. Please help, I've got 2000 songs for the trip and a bluetooth headset in my helmet. I own an ipod nano full of the same songs, but of course Mac made it so you cannot blue tooth a nano, so I have to use my phone.
Thanks ahead of time!
PS Keep your instructions rather simple though please, I'm 60 yrs old!

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.
