Want to completely DISABLE the 'swipe' gesture (done it before, replacement phone) :( :( :(

For the love of Pete...can someone tell me HOW to turn off this annoying "swipe" requirement.
I've turned OFF swipe to wake in the display settings..but if I recall I have to "somewhere else" turn off something else to prevent the situation I now have where I can use my power button to turn the screen on but I STILL have to swipe after that.
I DON"T WANT TO SWIPE lol...and it's irritating as hell because my friend is set this way..and my phoen WAS but it died on me and was replaced now neither of us can figure out how we did it last time.
NO MORE SWIPE grrrr

Are you using a password for your device? .
If yes, then after hitting the power button, you have to swipe to punch in your code to unlock the device.
If not, then you don't have to swipe.

How to completely disable the function of hotspots

Hello everyone, this is my first time in the forum, I am looking for a way to neutralize the function of individual access points - HOTSPOT, I mean neutralization through the system, not through the normal shutdown settings
Thank you all

hi, michael.
Thank you for the quick response,
Excuse me for my tongue,
Hard to express myself that well,
The point is this:
I have an iPhone 4, sometimes the device is with people who work with me,
Or with friends,
They connect the device to their computer and play in the internet,
They finish the transaction with my cellular company,
If they play with the device - no problem,
But to connect to a computer - it is a problem!
So I want to completely disable the option of hotspots
And again,
Pardon my language

Satellite P50T-A016. how to disable edge swipe gestures

Hello,
I have Satellite P50T-A016 laptop runing windows 8.1 and I'm attempting to turn off the charm bar. After researching various websites/forums, it appears the charm bar is hardwired into windows and Microsoft provides no option to turn it off directly.
These websites/fourms also suggest disabling edge swipes gestures will indirectly turn-off the charm bar.
After I de-select "control pannel -> mouse -> enable edge swipes" and reboot the laptop, edge swipes are still being detected.
Why is edge switpes still enabled?
How to disable edge swipes?
Regards
Graham

> I have looked at the link. It is address multifinger gestures and sensitivity. I also noticed that the link leaves the "Enable edge swipes" option selected. So I'm not sure how this link helps.
The link and the HowTO helps you to find the touchpad Synaptics settings!
It shows you where to disable or enable settings which would be also related to the touchpad edge swipes.
> Regarding the charm bar, as a desktop mode user of windows I don't use it. The only time I have used it is when I have inadvertently turn it on when I switch between mouse (default), touchpad and touschscreen. It just get in the way even when hot corners are disabled.
Well, buddy you are not alone with this opinion but this is how it works and Microsoft decided to design the Win 8/8.1 system in this way
> When the "Enable edge swipes" option deselected then right-edge gesture on the touchpad no longer triggers the charm bar opening. Great!,
Thats right and this is how it works
> However, the right-edge gesture on the touchscreen is still enabled.
Dont mix touchpad with the touchscreen! The edge swipe settings in touchpad are NOT related to touchscreen!

How do you completely disable the installation and use of add-ons for firefox 4? Is there a config setting/file that can be changed to completely disable add-ons?

I want to completley disable the installation and/or use of add-ons in Firefox 4. I don't want anybody that logs onto either of my computers to be able to use add-ons and I can't find a way to disable it in the configuration files. I've found ways to lock down other options like updates etc. but I cannot find a way to completely disable add-ons.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use a mozilla.cfg file to lock prefs or specify default values.<br />
You can place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder to specify using mozilla.cfg.
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
To prevent users from installing software use:
<pre><nowiki> //
lockPref("xpinstall.enabled" ,false);
</nowiki></pre>

Picture-Preview is out of focus, if I'm using the swipe-gesture in the Apple PhotoApp.

Hi,
this is my first question, and I think it's a iOS-related issue, but I coultn't find a way to ask Apple directly. But maybe you can help me, too
If I took a photo with the Apple PhotoApp and do the swipe-gesture to the right to see the preview of the photo this preview is out of focus. It's only the preview, the picture itself is perfectly focussed. If I take a second picture and do the swipe-gesture again, the newly taken photo-preview is out of focus, if I do the swipe-gesture again - to switch to the photo taken before - this photo is focussed.
The photos that are stored in the album are always focussed and perfect. If I touch the little preview of the last photo in the PhotoApp (lower left side) instead of using the gesture the preview is focussed.
Do you have any ideas? The problem persists for many iOS-Versions. The problem never got corrected. I get my updates OTA.
- sorry for my bad english -

If you are in Hong Kong, go to Digital Trade, 1/F, Sincere Plaza, Argyle Street, and it will cost you 120-150HKD, but before you go check that your power button and home button are working correctly, if not press as hard as you can, hope this will help.

How to I completely disable the voice activated dialing ...

How to I completely disable the voice activated dialing on my Blackberry?

One thing you might try is going to System Preferences/Sound and changing the output from Internal Speakers to Line Out or Digital Out. Line Out would be for headphones. I assume it keeps this setting after a reboot but you should test it.
Disabling the sound will also disable all warning sounds. Those can be pretty useful.

Where did the swipe gestures for web browsers go?

If you configure your trackpad settings for "Swipe between pages" TO "two or three fingers" you'll get the functionality back on firefox. To also correct the issue on Magic Mouse, if you happen to own one, configure the same setting to: "one or two fingers" under Mouse settings.

How can I completely disable the sound on an iMac?

I work at a high school where I am in charge of all technology on campus, as well as the position of librarian (an effort to save money by the disctrict). In the library, I have about 14 iMacs (2008) that are available for students to do research and reports on, though the computers have basically been turned into really expensive Facebook and YouTube machines. Anyways, I'm looking for a way to completely disable the audio on these iMacs. Simply muting the volume and hiding the control on the toolbar doesn't help because there's volume control right there on the keyboard. Is there any way to just disable the sound all together? Such as disabling the sound card or possibly usuing a utility or script? An even better solution would be to disable the speakers, but leaving the headphone jack enabled so if need be, a student can plug in headphones and still get sound. But I'll settle for completely disabling the audio, if anyone can help with that. Thanks so much!

How can I disable the code when signing on to my phone. This is very annoying.

Settings>General>Passcode Lock...enter your passcode, then: Turn Passcode Off.

I have $0.66 in the US Mac App Store and I want to change my country to Brazil. Unfortunately MAS keeps telling me that I want to spend all the money in my account before I can change my country.

You can't change countries whilst you have a balance. If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

The "swipe" gesture has stopped working on my Pre

Although it worked yesterday, today neither the right-to-left swipe gesture nor the "pull up the shortcut icons while I'm in another card/app" swipe gesture works. There's no response from the Pre to these gestures at all. I am able to throw a card off the top of the screen and to dismiss an email or txtmsg notification off the main screen, but the swipe area below the screen seems to no longer respond to touch. Is there something I can do to attempt to reset this? If not, is there somewhere I should call or take my unit to be looked at? Thanks.

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

My Pre had a similar issue yesterday and early today, then it corrected itself. Nothing I did could fix it. My problem was the swipe feature was going "nuts" all by itself. It kept swiping on its own. Programs would minimize, the deck of cards would move, another program would open, and I could see the touchscreen light up like I was touching it (fingerprint). However, when I would used the touchscreen, It would react as though I was touching a different part of the screen (I touch the right side but an app on the left side of screen would open). It was like the screen needed to be re-calibrated. Also, I could not "throw" cards away (close apps). When I tried the up/down motion, it was interpreted as left to right, so the deck of cards simply moved left to right. I completely turned off the phone (which was a chore since the touchscreen was INOP). The reset did nothing. This morning I tried playing with it again and it was still acting up (but on a lesser scale). I was able to work my way to the reset options page and was going to do a full reset, then I noticed everything started working as it should. Not sure what fixed the problem. I've got my fingers crossed this was just a one-time event!

Is there any way to completely disable the gyroscope?

My gyroscope is messed up.
The gyroscope app shows it is going bezerk. I don't want to fix it. My only problem is that the iPhone uses it to stabilize videos, so they look fine during shooting but wobbly afterwards. My question is : is there anyway to disable the gyroscope or the gyro video stabilization Another video shooting app that doesn't use the gyro to stabilize would be a great solution too
Thanks ahead

The M7 co-processor is a chip in the phone that collects data on your steps. It is separate from the main processor which means, among other things, that it uses less battery life than step tracking using just the accelerometer as the iPhone 5 and previous did. It does not use cellular data to track your steps. Again, it is not the app that's tracking your steps, it's the co-processor. But, no, the co-processor can't be turned off.
I'm not sure that there's any particularly nefarious purpose to which the information on the number of steps you take every day could be put. However, if you're concerned about people accessing data from your phone (and there's a lot more sensitive data on most people's phones than that), put a passcode on the phone.
Best of luck.

How do I turn off the swipe gesture of the magic mouse?

I found the answer! It was buried in the support community answers and it certainly deserves a repeat:
Download:
http://magicprefs.com/
Once this is downloaded you will find "Magic Prefs" in your system preferences. I unclicked every single box in the "Swipes" tab.

Unchecking all of the checkboxes in the Mouse/More Gestures preference pane didn't do the job for you?
