Why doesn't the iPhone 5 have the call bar feature like the 4S does?

From the Swype website:
Why isn’t Swype available for iPhone/iPad/BlackBerry/Windows Phone?
Due to the technical design of some operating systems, it is not possible for third party keyboards (such as Swype) to be offered at this point in time. Please communicate to your device/OS manufacturer that you’d like to see Swype available as a keyboard option!

  • Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?

    Can the iPhone have settings profiles?  I want the settings of what apps are using the "call home" automatically set based on my location or the time of day.  Is this possible?  Of course the GPS location feature will need to be on in order for this to work.  But the idea here would be to optimize battery life by disabling the 'call home' requests of apps.  The settings profile should also support downloads as I would like to download and allow it when I am on WiFi but not so much when I am using my cellular data.

    No, this is not possible as the sandboxed nature of iOS would not allow any app to modify another app like that. Such a feature would have to be enabled by Apple as a part of iOS itself. You can submit feedback to Apple about the idea if you wish to.

  • Does ipad2 have a "show topsites" feature like the Macbook Pro?

    Does ipad2 have a "show topsites" feature like the Macbook Pro?

    No, Safari on the iPad is a fairly basic browser and with iOS 5 it now uses tabbed browsing and not the thumbnail/page view as on previous iOS versions (which only showed your open pages and not top sites).

  • I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.

    I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.
    When I mouse over the icons, the rainbow appears as if it was processing something. The problem is eliminated when I restart my computer but it comes back after a while.
    I guess I cant make a backup copy and restore the whole disk because the copy would be made with this error.
    Can anyone help me? Anyone with the same issue?

    Update: I was able to test out the HDMI adapter as well and the same issue occured.  I'm stumped.  10.8.1 maybe.

  • Does iPhone have a secure 'Password Keeper' like the BlackBerry?

    Does the iPhone have an option where I can store usernames, passwords, and other secure and private information like the BlackBerry's 'Password Keeper'?

    I'd like to second that request for a password keeper on the iPhone.
    There is a web service that does this, but, honestly, the idea of uploading my passwords to a web site that isn't hosted by someone that has an absolutely rock solid reputation isn't something I will do.
    The basic "trust" requirements here are that it is truly stored locally on the iPhone itself. If the software were created by Apple, it would have the necessary credentials to make me feel safe.
    A local PC/Mac based app that talks to iTunes (or an iTunes add-in) would complete the deal.

  • Why doesn't my iphone receive any calls?

    I bought an iphone 5 six months ago, and for the last 10 days it does not receive any calls. I can make calls, as well as receive and send SMS, and the wifi works... I've already restarted the iphone, reset network settings and replaced my chip... What can be wrong?

    It's looking into the problem and will answer in the next five days... Anyhow, I was wondering if it might be a problem with the iphone itself...

  • Why doesn't my Firefox 4.0 Beta 3 Look like the beta 1 in the video? Like, where is the yellow firefox button?

    Ok, so i've been looking froward to the new beta, and i always wanted the yellow Firefox button and the smart download section, instead of the old pop-up one witch is annoying by the way.
    I'm currently using the Firefox 4.0 Beta 3.
    And the only thing that is changed is that the taps on the top..
    but it's not see through or anything like in the preview videos.
    Please help!

    Some of the new things are not shown by default in XP but easily established.
    Right click on a toolbar space and
    * Uncheck the Menu Bar; this will hide the Menu Bar and show the orange Firefox Button in the top left hand corner. You can toggle from one to the other.
    * Check Tabs on Top. This will move the Tab Bar above the Navigation Bar - remember you are not showing the Menu Bar. I must admit that I prefer tabs in their traditional place where they are nearer the web page action.
    For moved and combined buttons this will help -

    I hope this is what you are after.

  • Why doesn't Forms Development have a set of dropdowns like this screen?

    Is there a way to add vertical lines and boxes in Forms?

    I'm not quite sure what you are asking for with the subject of this post. What type of dropdows are you looking for that you don't get with FormsCentral dropdowns?
    There is no way to add vertical lines beside doing it via an image element... same goes for boxes, you could use an image. Although I'm assuming that you want to have form elements inside a box which we don't support.

    For one thing, true call blocking (ie. where the call NEVER actually connects through to your number) can only be done by the service provider at their switches.
    The best a device can do is allow the call to connect, and then use the caller ID information to compare that to a list of allowed and a list of disallowed caller IDs.  That is a feature known as blacklisting, but it is not the same as actually blocking a call completely.
    So as suggested, contact your carrier and ask what they can do for you.

  • Why doesn't the iphone have flash player?

    why doesn't the iphone have flash player?

    Because it *****, has security holes in it and your phone battery life wouldn't be as good as it's today. For starters.....
    Flash is heading in the direction of a dying breed. HTML5 will take it over eventually, once the world buttheads finally come to agree on its final standards.

    I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5.  I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s.  However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call.  I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss.  The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens.  All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
    Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
    This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue

    If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:
    http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-legend (next paragraph is taken from the review since there is no direct link to the review.
    Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
    Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
    I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue.  I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web.  Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.
