Texting options other than by phone

Hi,
I'm looking for an easier way to text than on my Droid.  I thought I saw an option to send a text from google's website or from verizon's website.  Any suggestions.  Thanks!!

Oh, and now it occures to me that I don't want to give Verizon (or anyone
else) any of my contacts contact info.  Thanks!!

  • What are the options other than iCloud for a "full" iPone backup?

    With iCloud you have limited options to increase the size of the capacity for backups:
    5gb - Free
    20gb - .99/month
    200gb - 3.99/month
    500gb - 9.99/moth
    1TB - 19.99/month
    With such a big gap between 20gb and 200gb, I am looking for feedback on other cloud options other than iCloud that will backup everything on my new iPhone 6.
    Thank you

    Managing the backup of your phone starts with knowing what is backed up, what is NOT, backed up and how to manage your data/phone content.
    What is NOT backed up to icloud:
    Apps, music, and any other iTunes purchase.  
    What IS backed up to icloud:
    your personal information, settings and data
    if you open settings, icloud, storage, manage storage, show all apps.
    this shows your app data amounts in decending order.   You can turn off backup for any app that doesn't need iCloud backup.  For example, I use Dropbox which auto uploads all my photo and video when I connect to home wifi, so I do not backup camera roll, so I turn the switch off.  I do backup data from other apps, but not all of them.
    I backup an iPad and iPod touch to the same iCloud account with the 5 free GBS and have not needed more than that.

  • No option other than always ask

    I am new to the E71.
    First I was surprised there was no connection groups and that a 3rd party app is required.
    I tried SmartConnect set up WLAN as first option and 3G as second, but unless I had a 3G signal it would not work even if it was routing via the WLAN.
    I am now trying PSILOC Connect software, this seems to work better except I now seem hjave no option other than always ask for incoming mail server and if I have Fring up and running first it says WLAN is already running stop the connection first if I try to pick up an email.

    "Access point groups" was a feature in previous Eseries phones based on S60 3rd Edition.
    That Eseries specific thing was apparently not "ported" to S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 based Eseries devices like the E71 for some reason.
    This is also now a feature ( "Destinations" ) in S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 and devices based on that.

  • After much consideration, today I decided to join Adobe Photoshop CC only to discover it is not available to me as my laptop has Windows Vista.  What are my options other than having to buy a new computer or an old version like Ps5 or 6?

    1-Do some more reading about a Windows "upgrade version" which, according to my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... it upgrades over what you have, without disturbing installed programs... at least that is what happened the ONE time I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% assurance it will work that way with your computer... search link for all things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US
    2-Depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run CC programs well, if at all
    3-CS6 is 3+ years old and is the ONLY non-CC version still being sold... unless you can find a "legal" CS5 somewhere

    If you installed a Security Update early this month, about the 2nd or so, and not one since then, run Software Update - if it offers another Security Update, accept and install that one. The original Feb 2012 update had some flaws with regard to MS software in particular; the follow-up update fixed those.

    By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?  Is the hold/lock switch in the On position?
    If you cannot get the iPod to reset, your only other option at this point is to just sit and wait for the iPod's battery to full drain.  Then charge it back up and restore in iTunes if necessary.

  • Reading texts from Child's phone from somewhere other than the phone

    Is there a way I can read texts my child sends & receives without having her phone (ie from my computer or table)?  iMessage is not the solution because not everyone who texts her has an iPhone, not to mention iMessage uses a lot of data (see many scathing posts about this by other members).  Technically, it is my phone.  I paid for the device, and I pay for the monthly service.  While I'm not interested in the mundane day-to-day conversations she has with her friends, it has recently come to my attention that some inappropriate information has been shared via texting.  I'd prefer not to take the phone away from her, as it does provide a useful function (ie, my ability to get ahold of her when she is out with her friends), However, I am finding that part of my job as her parent is to monitor what is being sent and.  I also have reason to believe she is deleting text messages she does not want us to see.  I look forward to any recommendations that can be provided.  Thanks!

    Unfortunately, with a smartphone this would not be very helpful. For instance, iMessage normally uses data instead of texting for messages to other Apple devices. There are several other apps which ALSO bypass SMS/MMS capabilities alltogether. Blocking texting on a smartphone WILL NOT keep a user from being able to text, it would simply push them into a messaging type which bypasses the SMS/MMS infrastructure and works solely via data.

  • Any way to manage text messages other than individually on the phone?

    In preparation for switching to a replacement phone, I'd like to go thru my older text messages and dump/delete the ones I no longer need. The only way I have been doing it so far is to go into each thread and manually delete each un-needed message.   I have done a few text threads on the phone and it's very time consuming that way.  If I could just delete the whole text thread, it would be easy & quicker, but there are some text messages in each thread that I need to hang onto. 
    Is there any sort of tool or utility that I can sort thru texts when plugged into my PC, and mark which to delete and which to keep?
    As I said, it can be done on the phone, but it's very time intensive to go thru each message thread.  I have to delete the un-needed messages one at a time.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Object grouping options other than slidelets?

    Hi all, new user here:
    I've been using Captivate 5 for a few months and am running into an issue.  I have had success using the rollover slidelets to group various items together and use the slidelet timeline to arrange them as needed: usually this consists of a flash animation demonstrating the actions, simplified text captions outlining each step, and detailed audio narration to elaborate on the actions.
    What I do not like here is that the user needs to keep hovering over the rollover box.  I dislike the "stick slidelet" fix because it stays there the entire time and it is possible to pause the flash video while the text captions and the audio continue on, fouling the whole thing up.
    My questions are these:
    - Is it possible to group or create a timeline for a specific group of objects outside of a rollover slidelet?
    - Is it possible to trigger a slidelet to become visible and play through a standard button click as opposed to a rollover slidelet?
    - Is it possible to time items as part of a conditional/dependent chain i.e. show the video, start the audio, display text caption #1, and then only show text caption #2 when the flash animation/audio reaches a certain point?  I know I can attach the narration directly to the flash animation but the user can still pause that while the text captions continue on.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hello and welcome to the forum,
    No Grouping for the moment in Captivate, but I wonder if you need grouping for what you are describing?
    Isn't it all about timing? And do you need to have everything on the same slide, you could also navigate to a slide with a button or an advanced action.
    Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your questions but your last item is clearly just about timing objects on the timeline, not? Why do you use rollover slidelets for that goal? You can give the objects that you want to group the same timeline, start at the same time and have the same duration. Why is that not an option?
    If you want some objects to appear on a button click, make them invisible in the properties panel and create a standard advanced action, to be attached to the button, that will show all the objects.
    I will be happy to help you, but then I have to know what exactly you want to achieve.

  • Any Options other than rebuilding solution in Captivate 4?

    We developed a solution using Captivate 5.....now we found out that it cannot publish using AS2.... and some users are using Flash 7 (no control over it).
    Are there any solutions rather than purchasing Captivate 4 and rebuilding it in Captivate 4?
    For Example:
    Converter for C5 to C4
    A plugin to enable backward compatibility for saving as C4
    A plugin to enable Flash 7 to run solutions built with Captivate 5
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    There is no Cp5 to Cp4 converter I'm afraid, and Cp5 (like all previous versions of Captivate) does not allow you to save a project to an earlier Cp file format.
    You cannot copy Cp5 slides and past them into Cp4 and retain all objects.  You do however have the option of copying a Cp5 slide and pasting it into Cp4 as an image if that's any good to you.
    I realise that Cp5 only supporting AS3 will be a disappointment to you, but this fact has been quite well publicised ever since Cp5 was released.
    I take it when you developed your solution using Cp5 you were unaware that the client was stuck on Flash 7 with no plans to upgrade?  If at all possible I would suggest that this client is being very backward in their thinking.  AS3 came in with Flash Player 9.  Could they not even consider upgrading as far as that?
