Why can't apple put a simple audible low battery indicator on the iphone?

I get so tired of having my iphone shut down on me mid-conversation. My screen is black and up to my ear; my phone is in my purse while I'm talking on my blue tooth and also has a black screen; or my phone is on my hip with a black screen while I talk with my earphones. How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen? That information would be very helpful if I weren't on my blue tooth. Actually, that 2% low battery notification would very helpful to me if my phone weren't up to my ear with a black screen. Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?

" How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen?"
You cannot.
" Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?"
They can.  They have simply chosen not to do so.

  • Why can't Apple put 3G on a iPod touch?

    Apple Inc. should put 3G on a iPod touch its similar to the iPad but smaller. Teenagers and kids always try to use the Safari but can't cause they don't got Wi-fi connected and when there on the road or on a trip they would love to have 3G on there iPod touch and they wouldn't be bored.

    You're saying then, they they have no Apps (games) on their iPod already that will stave off the boredom.
    Perhaps they need to get the right Apps before the trip. iBooks, games, note takers, -  the list goes on. Oh, and presuambly the music on their iPods is boring too.
    Sigh.

  • Why can't Apple make all ipads brightness to be settable to the dimmest just like in ibooks ?

    I don't understand why a brillant number one company in the world - apple cannot make all it's generation of ipads to be more dimmer than the current lowest brightness setting level , to be just like the lowest brightness settable in ibooks ?  Do they know that some ipad users around the world like me can find it to be too bright for my eyes , in fact it's hurting and painful just to look at ipad for a mere few minutes even when it's at the dimmest . I hope the ios engineers will listen to users like me and make it happen .

    The brightness on the iPad over all CAN be manually set. And I find it hard to believe the dimmest setting is too bright. At that setting the screen is barely visible. Perhaps you should give the user guide a read:

  • Why can't apple TV "see" my PC that's connected to the router using a Powerline connection

    OK. Apple TV can see my partners lap Top that's connected to our router wirelessly. Logs onto iTunes and will play his content.
    BUT... Apple TV can't see my PC that connects to the same Router via a Powerline link to the router. Surly it should see it as if the PC was connected using an Ethernet cable>

    Yes, it should, I use just that kind of setup.
    Could be a router configurtion issue.
    How is AppleTV connecting wired or wireless? Some routers can isolate wired LAN from wireless Lan which you wouldn't want.

  • Why can't I push emails to 2 different MobileMe accounts on the iPhone?

    Makes no sense since I can set up a Yahoo! Mail account as push alongside a single MobileMe account with push mail as well.
    Every time I set it up, the second account only gives me an option for Fetch or Manual.

    I have the same problem. Here's my setup:
    1) I have my own MobileMe account that I use for Mail, Contacts and Calendar syncing on my iPhone and Mac
    2) My wife uses my MobileMe account for Contacts and Calendars so we use the same calendars and contacts. We just signed her up for her own MobileMe (trial) account to use just for her own PUSH email.
    On her iPhone calendars and contacts sync perfectly via push. When I added her own MobileMe account to use for mail it only gives her the option for either FETCH or MANUAL! This makes no sense whatsoever. I figured it might have something to do with having my MobileMe account associated with her iPhone as well, so I deleted that association but still no options but FETCH or MANUAL for her mail. Prior to getting her own MobileMe account, I her her set up with YahooMail for push email and she was given the option for PUSH.
    All of this makes no sense and is highly frustrating! I wonder if there is a reason and a fix? Anyone?

  • Why can't i receive texts while on a phone call on the iphone 5s

    I receive all my texts after I hang up with a phone call. I don't even get notifications of a text at all while on a phone call. I know with iMessage you can't receive them while on a call but for normal texts how do I change that?

    New phone? Peeled off the protective plastic from the face of the phone?

  • Why is itunes so hard to use - and why can't apple fix it?

    why is itunes so hard to use - and why can't apple fix it
    I dont know anybody who likes the way itunes works.'
    This last version is beyond awful. It took an already hard to use program - but one that I had at least figured out and made it even harder.

    Wendy,
    If you are experiencing a particular problem, please post specifics, and most likely someone here will be able to help.

  • Apple Bluetooth / Wireless Keyboard Low-Battery Indicator?

    Hi All,
    Does the iPad show a low-battery indicator when the Apple wireless keyboard is running out of juice? I know OS X is supposed to, but not sure about iOS. I plan to use my keyboard for meetings and depositions where I'd be in a tight spot if I ran out of juice unexpectedly.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    No, but, "The Apple Wireless Keyboard requires just two AA batteries — one less than the previous model. And its intelligent power management system conserves battery life. *So when you’re not using the keyboard, it automatically powers down. The instant you start typing, it turns back on*. Use the on/off switch when you're away from your computer for a long time."
    From here. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC184LL/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Carry a spare set of AA batteries just in case.

  • Why doesn't Apple supply a simple audio recording app with the iPad? (Garage Band is not simple app)

    I am going to be teaching an integrated media production course in the spring semester (creating an online college newspaper) and I want the students to use mini iPads to create images, videos and sound clips.   Images and video, no problem.   Easy to move to our iMacs in the lab for editing and inclusion in a college newspaper web site.   On the other hand, audio is a mess.   Sure, I can have them shoot video, import the video into Final Cut on the iMacs and then use Final Cut like an audio editor, but that is pretty lame.   They could download Garage Band but that would require all the students to have iTunes accounts, which is a real pain.   And moving audio recording made with Garage Band to the iMac is a real drag and way too much work.   Why the **** can't Apple include a simple audio memo program in the basic iPad app setup?   This is really old school stuff that was on computers way back when.   Using Garage Band for that simple function is like swatting flies with a sledge hammer.

    Make finding a simple audio recorder the students first assignment. Have them give presentation.  Have file a news story to the 'paper'.

  • Why can't  Apple accept that smaller cities and countries exist??

    I just wish that Apple would realize that there are other places on earth besides the US, Europe and Asia!!
    I am trying to put in my city code for my clock on my iphone 4 and it will not let me put in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago. My Nokia phone bought in 2005 allows this and my cheap Casio watch recognizes other smaller cities on earth...why can't Apple??
    I thought the general idea was to have ALL citizens on earth using your products??
    Please do something update wise (and NO, I do not want to enter Bridgetown, Barbados as a 'next best bet'.
    Thank you,

    I was looking for how to add any city in Trinidad to my world clock and came upon his post. It wasn't necessary to dig it up but I had the same complaint and because the posters here were mostly un-kind and un-understanding towards hm, I hoped he would know that not everybody thinks his complaint is invalid.
    Not having the capitol means the whole country is not listed. Any city. It's hard to use another country's time zone because times may change due to things like daylight-savings-time in one country but not in another. If you live on the east coast of the US, you can still use a city from your own country in the same time zone. I can use Toronto even though that's not my real hometown in Canada. I can use Beijing for my current city even though I live 1000's of miles away but still in China. There's no city listed for all of Trinidad. I'm not sure what city to list for the same time zone as Port of Spain without worrying that it will be wrong at sometime because country differences.
    Of course not all cities in the world can/should be listed but perhaps all capital cities or the largest city in even the smallest of countries could be listed.
    I guess I do not have a grip on your reality. In my reality your post makes no sense because it only tries to insult another poster and offers neither help nor explaination. I'm not sure what you gain from that. To be fair though, it does seem like many people like to post in this way.
    Thanks for your suggestion Michael Black.

  • Why Can't I put whatever photos I want on my IPAD?

    That's it. That is my question. Why can't I put more photos on my ipad from whatever computer I feel like it without having to delete the photos on there? It is incredibly frustrating.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
