What a long way the cell phone has come

after reading a few of the topics and issues, and believe me i've had my issues as well. i think we should take a few minutes to realize how far the cell phone has come. i know i should be one to talk, i've put in a few comments myself. however sitting here playing with the new toy, i remember when all cell phones did was send and receive calls. now with the iphone we could do so many things that we asked. so with that being said, yes there are a few details that need to be worked on...but while we sit impatiently till then we should all remember how much the cell phone has progressed.

Hea hea!
Shoot man, in 1992 I paid $400 bucks for a huge brick that worked "sometimes" and .40/minute no matter when I made a call.
To complain about the iPhone is just silly.

  • How  do the dynamic state to record image in the cell-phone?

    Excuse me.How do the dynamic state to record image in the cell-phone?Or whether it has the feasibility or not?..Somebody can give me some opinions and data,please.
    Thanks.

    I don't understand very well what you want, but to record and image (get and snapshot) you have to create an Player, realize the player, start it and then get the snapshot. ex:
                player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
                player.realize();           
                VideoControl videoControl = (VideoControl) player.getControl("VideoControl");
                player.start();
                byte[] data = videoControl.getSnapshot(null);
                Image image = Image.createImage(data, 0, data.length);To find out if a device can record images you can use this:
                boolean mmapiAvailable = System.getProperty("microedition.media.version") != null;
                boolean canGetSnapshots = System.getProperty("supports.video.capture") != null;Hope that answer your question.

  • Realtime video stream on the cell Phone

    Hi,
    I have to develop a prototype to show a cell phone handling a CCTV feed
    1. I am trying to figure out how easy or difficult it isn The cell phone should be able to display real-time feed coming from a CCTV and provide the cell phone user the ability to record, stop, and rewind it.
    2. Any idea how long the prototype should take.Aany crude demo will do.
    3. What components of J2ME should I use (CDC,CLDC ...?..sorry I am new to this).
    4. Is there any sample code that can help me in doing it quickly ?
    Thanks in advance
    QM

    What is the video converted from? And what format is it converted to?
    Premiere Elements is technically not a conversion program. It's a video editor. But if you can tell us what type of camcorder your original video came from and what specs you output, that would be helpful.
    It also might help to know which version of Premiere Elements you're using.

  • Why are the Cell Phone numbers that show up on my statement not the numbers I am Texting to?

    This has to do with texting only.  Lately I have noticed that a lot of the cell phone numbers we are texting to and from do not show up on the statement.  What shows up is a series of random numbers.  Why is this happening??? 

    Re Text messaging.  I have noticed that a lot of the phone numbers are not phone numbers but just a random set of numbers.  0000265060, 0032665115, 0000032665, 0032665114.  These are people my son is texting to and receiving texts from.  Does this mean the person has a blocked phone number???

    The recovery mode sound like your best option and unfortunatly everything will be lost unless you did a back up of your device recently make sure you have a computer running itunes 11.1.1 plug in the usb to the computer and after that power your device off by holding the sleep/ wake button until it says slide to power off and then slide to power off after that press and hold the home button while holding the home button connect your device to the computer continue to hold the home button until connect to itunes shows on the phone. on the computer it will say itunes has reconized a device in recovery mode just click through the menu to get your device to back to new

  • When I go in I cloud data storage, it says I have 3.3gb from an old phone which was replaced by a new phone. The new phone has 1.2gb of data. Can I now get rid of the data on the old phone from the i cloud.

    When I go in I cloud data storage, it says I have 3.3gb from an old phone which was replaced by a new phone. The new phone has 1.2gb of data. So I now have a total of 4.5GB OF DATA stored. The Old phone is now with Apple and I deleted all the information.  Can I now get rid of the data on I cloud for the old phone. What data does the 3.3GB consist of? Is there anyway, I can find out?
    Thanks

    When you delete an iCloud backup it is permanently deleted and not available in the future to restore from.  The backup of your second phone only contains the data and settings from that phone.  If any of this data was inherited from your first phone, it would be contained in the backup of your second phone as it was on your second phone when it was backed up.
    If you want to keep backups of your old phone, back them up in iTunes and they will remain on your computer.  Even if you are backing up to iCloud, you can manually back up your phone in iTunes by right-clicking on the name of your phone on the left side of iTunes and selecting Back Up.  iTunes will see each device as a separate device, and will maintain the backups separately.  Do this with your first phone and you can then delete the iCloud backup and you will have the iTunes backup on your computer should you ever want to access it.

    Is there any app that allows me to control the cell phone from the computer with the mouse?

    No this is not possible.
    But you could use the iPhone Simulator of Xcode if you have access to an Mac. Like the name explains, it simulates an iPhone on an Mac, but you cannot use all standard apps

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on
    Restart your iOS device.
    Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
    Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My e mail  functionality doesnt work any longer on my 3gs phone. has worked perfectly for 18 months...now i just get a blank screen when i click on the mail icon...it still tells me how many mails I have waiting on the icon...any ideas?

    my mail has been working perfectly on my 3gs iphone. I can now longer access the mail after tapping on the mail icon. All i get is a blank screen with a reload icon and a write icon at the bottom, neither of which responds when touched. The icon continues to tell me how many mails I have in my inbox and continues to update.
    Any ideas?
    am on version 4.3.4 operating system.
    Thanks

    I have tried that also, but its still doing the same thing

  • Cant sent text because it says the cell phone number is not an ios5

    when i try to send a text message from my ipad, it won't accept a cell phone number as a recipient, says it is not registered with iMessage.

    "Demo" provided the following in a previous post...
    It means exactly what it says. That user has not registered and setup Messages on his or her device yet so you can not message with them. They have to set it up first before you can reach them. It does not happen automatically just because you are sending them a message.
    Messages only works with other iOS devices - not Android phones - so the person that you want to Message with must have an iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone or a Mac running Mountain Lion.

  • I have an Iphone4 and 3gs using the same apple id and same itunes account. is it possible for them to not share photos,contacts,and other information. I'm afraid to sync one and lose the info the other phone has

    I have two iphone users sharing one apple id and itunes account. Can I snc both phones to the itunes account without sharing each others info i.e. photos, music, contacts? I am afradi to sync one and lose the information the other one has.

    A solution would be to use Apple's iCloud to sync instead of iTunes. This requires the latest operating system, iOS 5. Now backups will be done to the cloud, and you can choose what gets synced across your devices by turning them off in iCloud settings (i.e. turn off Calendars, Photos, etc.).

  • Where can I find deleted reminders lists?  The stupid phone has erase them 3 times out of the blue, anybody else having this problem?

    In the last year I have had an Iphone 4S and the new Reminder app that comes with it.  Three times this phone has just erased Reminders lists I had created.  I thought it was due to being empty or reminders but this week 4 out of five lists disappeared from one moment to the next.  I had entered a couple of reminder in the morning.  When I came back to my office in PM and open the reminder app:  4 lists gone!!  some of them with 3-4 items in them!!
    My other phone a 3GS has deleted some of my "NOTES" in the notes app in the same fashion.  I lost very important phone numbers and lists of passwords from one day to the next and Syncing didn't help that or the Reminder problem.  It looks like a repeating problem in different generations.  I never had these problems in my old Treo and it was not that SMART!!

  • What constitutes date on a cell phone?

    My husband and I upgraded to iPhone 5 after 2 years with iPhone 4S phones.  In the past 2 months, we have been fighting not going over our shared 4G of data.  What constitutes data use?  We aren't doing anything differently. 

    Goingbroke wrote:
    And of course, there was no mention of the 4G using more data than the 3G when they were hard-selling us on the iphone 5!  Thanks, guys!
    4G in and of itself will not use more data. When upgrading to a 4G device my data usage did not change at all. I have used an iPhone 5 and my data usage did not change when I made that switch. Using a 4G android device, I currently have the same data usage as when on the iPhone 5 and the same as when I had a 3G Droid X.
    Face it, when we get new toys, we want to try them out. Trying out all of these features, you may not THINK you have data usage but you very well MAY be using data. Without going thru all of the settings BEFORE playing with your new toy, you can certainly use a lot of data. Taking photos, for instance. We all hear what a great camera the iPhone has and when I first got it, I ran it thru the ringer taking photos right and left. Guess what. Taking photos CAN use cellular data IF you do not check your settings. I took hundreds of photos when first using the phone which WOULD have increased my data usage had I not FIRST checked to make sure those photos were not automatically uploaded to my photo stream unless on wifi.
    Every new app you add to your device, you should always check the settings to make sure you are aware how this app will affect your data usage.

  • On my iPhone 4s my texts are coming up with the cell phone

    Just recently, when someone sends me a text, my iPhone 4s has recently began showing cell phone #'s instead of their names. Why?
    There are no names recorded in my contact list also.

    Try ctrl+opt+cmd+8 for a start.
    (⌃⌥⌘ 8)
    That toggles colour inversion on and off. (for the visually impaired)
