Text delete options since software update
I've recently updated the software to 10.3.1.1565 and a new option appeared for text messaging. when i closed a message and went back to the list of text messages the delete symbol appeared next to the text for a few seconds. This was useful. Now, I have somehow (without knowing i've done it) changed the settings and instead of the delete symbol i'm getting the Reply symbol. How do i change it back to the delete symbol?
Thanks.
After upgrading your stock ROM you always need to do a factory data reset, if your phone doesn't do it for you. Then you can simply choose which sounds you want for the notification in the settings. You can download the Swype keyboard, or several various similar to Swype, from the Play Store. I liked Kii and used it for a long time.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

How do i update the software on my ipod touch? i went to settings, then general, but theres no option called software updates.
You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device. To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch. So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.

That is only present if you have already updated to iOS 5 or later. If you're on iOS 4 you can only update while connected to your computer's iTunes.

You can't access iCloud from your iPhone unless you're on iOS 5 or later. Otherwise, refer to this article:

Unless you set the device up for Wifi Sync, you will have to upgrade using iTunes. On the Summary page in iTunes, click the button Software Update.

it wont let me delete my apple software update so i can download the new version of itunes, it say cannot find the folder
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
Trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings, About, there is no option for Software Update..
I am trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings >> About >> there is no option for "Software Update" .. what else can I do?
4.4.2 was the last update. Now, in the same section look at Build Number. Mine says VS98026A. If yours ends with 26A, you are current. The last update was for HD Voice called Advanced Calling 1.0. Our next over the air or OTA update will be sometime next year, probably near March. The G2 is already getting 5.0 Lollipop in Poland and is rolling this way. We will get it, but even though Google has released the source code and update to manufacturers, Verizon still has to test, add to it and approve it, then roll it out over the course of a few weeks or months.

How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.

Two Droid 2 Global phones - Flaky since software update
I have two Droid 2 Global phones which were purchased at the same time. Ever since the last software update, which I believe was the Gingerbread update, these phones have been acting flaky in several ways with various features just shutting down and only a restart of the phone able to make them work again. Both phones have been having the exact same problems so that leads me to believe it is likely software related.
1) It quits ringing...even with ringing volume turned all the way up, incoming calls just don't ring. Same with text messages. Restarting phone fixes the problem.
2) The camera will take a picture, but when you go to look at it in the gallery, it is just a blank image. Unless you go look at the gallery, you have no way of knowing the picture didn't take. Once again, restarting the phone fixes this.
3) I have similar issues with the bluetooth. I sync it up to my car stereo, but sometimes it just won't sync until I restart the phone.
With the age of these phones, I suspect there are no more software updates on the way from Verizon. Can anyone confirm that? Unfortunately, the last software update also prevented <Deleted per the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service.> Any suggestions on how to get these phones some sort of software update or useful again? A phone that doesn't ring isn't much use.
Message was edited by: Verizon ModeratorHi jksoft,
I know how troubling these difficulties can be especially when it's happening to two lines of service. I extensively researched this trouble in our database as well as Motorola's and was unable to find this as any known trouble. The gingerbread update was the last release for the Droid 2 and no expected changes as of now.
Are you using the ringtones and notifications that are preloaded in the phone or the ones you have obtained elsewhere? If you haven't tried it yet, please use a notification tone and ringtone that is from the device itself. Let me know if this makes the device work correctly.
The trouble with camera and bluetooth don't have troubleshooting steps other than doing a hard reset of the device. This will completely wipe out the device but items like contacts and media can be backed up. To complete the reset go to http://bit.ly/rqKDhh and follow the steps for the preferred method. Please keep us posted as we may need to file an investigation with Motorola to review this.
Thank you,

Latest issues since software update
Since latest software update (do not like new menus, not clear, delete process now awful as goes to top one first regardless, no red button, poorer picture quality 720p instead of 1080 so picture quality worse than before, some upgrade! ) the BT Vision Box keeps failing any type of record either single or series. Keeps freezing. Get black screens. Tried all the usual tired old suggestions, have you turned it off then on again, rescans of channels, cancel and re-entry of recordings etc to no avail. I read on one forum entry software updates on the way. Do you know when?
Hi Kim and welcome
If you've still only got 720p and not 1080i as an option on your box, then you're not on the latest middleware version.
Even if you were, the bits I've highlighted in bold remain for some of us
