What is the 2nd sensor on the front, right next to the ear speaker for, and can I cover it up with a screen protector?

I received a package of screen protectors from Tech Armor today that were advertised to work for the iPhone 5, 5S and 5C.  They don't have a cutout for the second sensor on the front face that is to the left of the ear speaker.
What is that sensor for?  And can I cover it up with a screen guard without reducing the functionality/effectiveness of the hardware?
Thanks,
Pete.

That's the proximity sensor, senses when you have the phone close to your face, turns off the screen to save battery and prevent accidental input from face touching the screen.
It's ok to be covered by by a transparent screen protector. I have used screen protectors that cover up that sensor, no problem.

    Will you be collecting the photos in iPhoto on your iPhone or on a Mac? On a Mac a Shared PhotoStream requires Mac OS X 10.8.2.

  • What is the conditional operator for AND, OR .....?

    what is the conditional operator for AND, OR .....? in ABAP language...
    AND, OR .. & is not accepting or recognising.
    Is these feature available in abap ??? if yes, how to use?
    thanks...
    shiva

    Hi,
    Conditional operator for AND and OR are same AND and OR.
    A logical expression consists of comparisons (see expressions 1 to 4 below) and/or selection criteria checks (expression 5) using the operators AND, OR and NOT , as well as the parentheses " (" and ")".
    The individual operators, parentheses, values and fields must be separated by blanks:
    Incorrect:
    f1 = f2 AND (f3 = f4).
    Correct:
    f1 = f2 AND ( f3 = f4 ).
    NOT takes priority over AND, while AND in turn takes priority over OR:
         NOT f1 = f2 OR f3 = f4 AND f5 = f6
    thus corresponds to
         ( NOT ( f1 = f2 ) ) OR ( f3 = f4 AND f5 = f6 )
    The selection criteria comparisons or checks are processed from left to right. If evaluation of a comparison or check proves part of an expression to be true or false, the remaining comparisons or checks in the expression are not performed.
    All data objects that can be converted among each other can be used as operands for logical expressions.
    Check if u are using the AND or OR operator this way.
    IF f1 AND f2.
    ENDIF.
    In this case it will throw error. Here it act as relational operator.

  • What is the Category field for and how do I edit it?

    In the iTunes music list, there is a category field. However, I do not see it in the get info window. Not surprisingly, although the category field shows in my iTunes music list, none of my songs have anything entered for the category. What is this field for and how do I edit it? Thanks.

    The only items I have that show a category are some iTunes U downloads.
    You can see a list of iTunes U category and subcategory codes and associated names here: http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/iTunesUAdministrationGuide/iTunesUintheiTunesSt ore/chapter13_section3.html

  • What are the F keys for and what are the insert and delete line shortcuts?

    I have always had a full keyboard and I'm really missing a few shortcuts I previously had that I used mostly in Quickbooks...mainly using the Control insert combination for inserting a line in General Journal and also the Control delete for deleting a line. Is this just an issue with Quickbooks on a Mac? I hate to say it, but during a period of insanity and persuasion by my accountant, I...GASP, went to a PC from a Mac and now I'm finally back in the family. I've forgotten a lot of what I'd learned in the last several years. Do the F keys have these capabilities or is there some other way? Thank you for any assistance.

    Look carefully at the F keys you will see that F1 and F2 will darken and Brighten yur screen F 10 11 and 12 will Mute turn down and turn up your sound.F3 will minimise the screen F4 goes to all your Applications installed.
    You need to fool around and see what they all do to help minimize work

  • What is the safari homepage for yosemite

    what is the safari homepage for yosemite

    It can be anything you want it to be. In Safari, go to the "Safari" menu and choose Preferences, and in the General section you should see a Homepage setting that will hold the address to your current home page. You can click the "Set to Current Page" button if you want the current Web page to be your home page, or you can delete the address to set this to nothing. The behavior of new windows and tabs is then set using the two menus above this setting, where you can have a new window or tab open with your Favorites (the default), your home page setting, an empty page, or the same page as the current window (ie, duplicate the current view in another window or tab).

  • What is the newest OS for 2nd generation ipod touch?

    I am looking at buying an iPod touch 2nd Gen just for music purposes. I am mainly going to use it with SiriusXM app. First I wanted to know what is the newest iOS for the ipod touch? Second, I wanted to know if anyone has a 2nd gen ipod touch and is using the SiriusXM app?
    Thank you,
    Matt

    Just note that if yo are getting a 3G iPod make sure that your get a 3G. A 2G and 3G look the same on the outside except for the model number on the back
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    GOOD DAY I JUST WANNA ASK IF,, WHAT IS THE POSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO DO IF MY IPOD 2ND GEN HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BACKLIGHT,,, IT ALWAYS TURNS INTO DIM WHEN I USE IT ,,, BUT SOMETIMES IT WORKS JUST FINE,,, PLS TELL ME WHAT TO DO,, THANKS AND MORE POWER

    Please don't shout.
    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?  Has it EVER been dropped?  Did it EVER get excessively wet?  Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
    If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • What's the Difference Between OLAP and OLTP?

    HI,
    What's the difference between OLAP and OLTP ? and which one is Best?
    -Arun.M.D

    Hi,
       The big difference when designing for OLAP versus OLTP is rooted in the basics of how the tables are going to be used. I'll discuss OLTP versus OLAP in context to the design of dimensional data warehouses. However, keep in mind there are more architectural components that make up a mature, best practices data warehouse than just the dimensional data warehouse.
    Corporate Information Factory, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon, Claudia Imhoff, Ryan Sousa
    Building the Data Warehouse, 2nd Edition by W. H. Inmon
    With OLTP, the tables are designed to facilitate fast inserting, updating and deleting rows of information with each logical unit of work. The database design is highly normalized. Usually and at least to 3NF. Each logical unit of work in an online application will have a relatively small scope with regard to the number of tables that are referenced and/or updated. Also the online application itself handles the majority of the work for joining data to facilitate the screen functions. This means the user doesn't have to worry about traversing across large data relationship paths. A heavy dose of lookup/reference tables and much focus on referential integrity between foreign keys. The physical design of the database needs to take into considerations the need for inserting rows when deciding on physical space settings. A good book for getting a solid base understanding of modeling for OLTP is The Data Modeling Handbook: A Best-Practice Approach to Building Quality Data Models by Michael C. Reingruber, William W. Gregory.
    Example: Let's say we have a purchase oder management system. We need to be able to take orders for our customers, and we need to be able to sell many items on each order. We need to capture the store that sold the item, the customer that bought the item (and where we need to ship things and where to bill) and we need to make sure that we pull from the valid store_items to get the correct item number, description and price. Our OLTP data model will contain a CUSTOMER_MASTER, A CUSTOMER_ADDRESS_MASTER, A STORE_MASTER, AN ITEM_MASTER, AN ITEM_PRICE_MASTER, A PURCHASE_ORDER_MASTER AND A PURCHASE_ORDER_LINE_ITEM table. Then we might have a series of M:M relationships for example. An ITEM might have a different price for specific time periods for specific stores.
    With OLAP, the tables are designed to facilitate easy access to information. Today's OLAP tools make the job of developing a query very easy. However, you still want to minimize the extensiveness of the relational model in an OLAP application. Users don't have the wills and means to learn how to work through a complex maze of table relationships. So you'll design your tables with a high degree of denormalization. The most prevalent design scheme for OLAP is the Star-Schema, popularized by Ralph Kimball. The star schema has a FACT table that contains the elements of data that are used arithmatically (counting, summing, averaging, etc.) The FACT Table is surrounded by lookup tables called Dimensions. Each Dimension table provides a reference to those things that you want to analyze by. A good book to understand how to design OLAP solutions is The Data Warehouse Toolkit: Practical Techniques for Building Dimensional Data Warehouses by Ralph Kimball.
    Example: let's say we want to see some key measures about purchases. We want to know how many items and the sales amount that are purchased by what kind of customer across which stores. The FACT table will contain a column for Qty-purchased and Purchase Amount. The DIMENSION tables will include the ITEM_DESC (contains the item_id & Description), the CUSTOMER_TYPE, the STORE (Store_id & store name), and TIME (contains calendar information such as the date, the month_end_date, quarter_end_date, day_of_week, etc).
