Why has Verizon stopped selling the Kin Twom?

Several possibilities:
Is it because they don't want people to be able to access the Web without using data? They would prefer pushing people to smartphones?
Is it because the manufacture has stopped making it? Are there REALLY no new ones available?
Is it because it isn't selling well?
My son liked mine so much that he wanted one. He had to resort to buying one through a Craigslist ad.

Thanks to the community members for your input. Indestructo, were you needing assistance with the messaging issue? Were you able to send your messages? It is a good practice to refresh your phone by power cycling it off and on once every few days. This only takes a few moments and will refresh your signal connections. The longer the device is kept on without power cycling, it can affect how the device operates. Here's a link for assistance in troubleshooting issues for text messaging.  If your needing online assistance with your Kin Twom, here is a link. You could also send me a private message if you need further assistance.

  • Has anyone else bought the Kin TwoM and found it the worst thing ever??

    I got the Kin TwoM and found it the worst cell phone I have had EVER.It never keeps its battery life but for a day and the screen is way too touchy and I can not send people photos or post them online I have yet to get the wi fi to work anymore it just stopped.I hate this cell and if I had the money I would buy different one right now but instead I am stuck with it.

    Maybe I should clearify this a bit the issue wasn't the device but more along the devices popularity with the customers, this information is basically posted on a number of forums but I dont see Verizon addressing this as a issue because the device works well for some but it simply wasn't for everyone..  If you search the forum you could find a number of reported reviews...

  • Why did they stop selling the iPad 3?

    How come they made it thicker and heaver and then just stopped making it and brang out the exact same thing that is still thicker and heavier but just added the lightning connector and A6x?
    I think that was pretty pointless.
    Does any one know why this happened? if you do or have a diffrent point of view to me post a reply.
    Thanks.

    You think a faster processor for the same cost is pointless? Ok.
    Companies are constantly improving their products, releasing better models and ceasing production of older models.
    It would be pretty pointless releasing an improved model, and then continuing to make and sell an older, worse model. Who would want the older, slower model?
    Next week, it's highly likely there will be even newer iPads and the current models will cease to be made and sold.
    It's called progress.

  • Why has apple stopped updating the ipod touch 2g

    my ipod touch 2gen is on the latest vesion that is out for it but apple just stopped updating it

    Only Apple knows why.  It's likely that Apple decided that the newer versions of iOS would put too much of a strain on the iPod or that the iPod simply lacked the necessary hardware to operate with an acceptable level of performance using the newere versions of iOS.

  • Latest firmware version to date for the Kin TWOm.

    What is the latest firmware to date for the Kin TWOm? I understand that there may not have been an update in a long time, if any for that matter, but I wanted to check in with what the latest firmware is if anyone here was sure. Then at least we'll all be on the same page about it & update if necessary. 
    Thank you! 
    I believe, to check, it's under SETTINGS > ABOUT YOUR PHONE 
    Looking under "Software version" I think. Mine reads "1.0.1 (4704.0)

    Hi Daveman80,
    I have checked my resources and I learned that Verizon Wireless has not released a software update for the Kin TwoM. The latest software available for this device is the one you currently have in your phone. Please note that some customers install unapproved Beta software updates on their phones at their own risk. The post you saw on Facebook most likely includes pictures of unapproved software update.
    Please be assured that we will push any approved software updates to your phone when provided by the manufacturer.

  • Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5?

    Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5? I've tried the disable and reboot but continue to get the network error.

    Apple has not been forthcoming on the explanation. My Siri worked on my iphone4 (not 4s) immediately after upgrading to IOS5, but I take it they have redirected the servers that used to support Siri to only work with Iphone4s.
    It is one thing for apple to only bundle the improved Siri with IPhone 4S, or  for them to remove Siri from the Ap store.
    But it is another thing all together for apple to purchase a company, and then cease the service that many of us paid for.
    Attempts to contact apple at apple store and via email have been unhelpful.

  • How to check in the KIN TWOm is in a store near me?

    I am wondering if there is a way to check through the website if a store near me has the KIN TWOm is in stock

    I don't think you can check through this site. You will have to call the stores directly. There is a Store Locator button at the upper right though.

  • Why did apple stop selling carbon audio's zooka bluetooth wireless speakers?

    I saw this very interesting Bluetooth speaker from Carbon Audio called Zooka in Apple store few weeks back, but I was still trying to make up my mind about it, but to my surprise this model siezed to exit on the online store, and all searches aggersively point me to other models when I insist on searching for it by name.
    Question: why did apple stop selling carbon audio's zooka bluetooth wireless speakers?  Is there something wrong with it, or is it one of thse commercial disputes that I dont need to know about, and I'm good to look for it elsewhere.

    I just got this reply back fron Carbon Audio's help Desk if anyone's interested:
    Apple had an issue with our labeling, forcing us to recall all of our product to relabel it. That process is complete and Apple will be restocking their shelves very shortly."

  • Anyway to read books on the KIN TWOM

    Hey all,
    I was wondering if anyone had found a way to read books on this phone. I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else.
    Thanks for your time.

    I posted this response to a similar question:
    I recently added an ebook called Planet of the ******, to the Kin Twom .  Of course, this being a Kin, I had to get creative.  I found freeware called RasterBook to convert a html ebook to .jpg.  This allowed me to load the jpegs through Zune.  Now, when I go to camera -->albums, I can read the ebook.  
    The way I figured out to do it:
    1. Download the freeware RasterBook
    2. Open notepad and type in the following: start RasterBook.exe --width 480 --height 320 --rotate 90 --overlap 20 --format jpeg
    3. Save the file as kin.bat in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\RasterBook 
    4. Download a .html version of an ebook.  I found a free one (Planet of the ******) at Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page)
    5.Double click on the kin.bat file.  This launches RasterBook
    6. Open the folder containing the .html of your ebook. Drag and drop the .html file into the RasterBook window.
    7.  Click on the button "Render Book" in the RasterBook window. 
    8. You will see your .jpg files start to generate.
    9. Finding the resulting .jpg files is a little tricky.  The RasterBook freeware kept throwing the ebook .jpgs in the folder C:\Users\<your username here>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\RasterBook or C:\Program Files (x86)\RasterBook.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason to where the hundreds of jpg files save to.
    10. Once you find your.jpg files load them using Zune to your Kin.
    11.  Then go to camera --> albums and you should be able to find the book.
    12.  To read each page of the book swipe the screen to the right or the left to advance to the next page in the book.

  • Has iTunes stopped using the iTunNORM tag?

    Recently, I was trying to figure out whether I wanted to use info generated by the replay_gain algorithm in my iTunNORM tags, so I experimented with a couple of things, and one of things I did was to remove the iTunNORM tag completely from a copy of an aac file. I then added this song to iTunes, I noticed that the file remained unchanged, the iTunNORM tag was not created ( and yes I had the Sound Check feature on)
    So then I picked a song that I had, and I generated 3 aac's from it (one where I amplified the volume, one I decreased the volume, and one with the volume unchanged), so there was no iTunNORM tag in the files, no replay_gain tags in the files. I then added these songs to iTunes, and found out that soundcheck now works without adding the itunNORM tag to aac's; that is to say, if I have Sound Check off, then the 3 test acc's will play at different levels of loudness, and if it is on then they sound to be at the same level of loudness.
    Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
    Has iTunes stop using the iTunNORM tag?
    BTW:
    I used foobar and qtaacenc (QuickTime commandline encoder) to create the aac files.
    I did this after I had upgraded to iTunes 11, I have since downgraded to 10.7 and I have gotten the same results. I am using the 64 bit windows version of iTunes.

    Also I'm very very interested in knowing the answer to your question.
    I posted yesterday some questions (among which your question itself) here "https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4791322" but nobody answered me yet.
    Did you find out at last if iTunes 10 stopped using the iTunNorm tag and where it eventually write soundcheck info into an mp3 file?
    Thank you very much for your anser.

  • Why has adobe acrobat changed the dimensions of my original jpeg file?

    Why has adobe acrobat changed the dimensions of my original jpeg file?  I uploaded an A3 jpeg file and adobe converted it to pdf but the scale is all wrong.  Why is this?  What can I do about it?

    Normally if you open a graphic in Acrobat, it automatically adjusts the PDF to the size of the graphic. It sounds as though you are doing something else to create a PDF. It would help to know how you created the PDF, you seem to be suggesting you did it with an online tool and not Acrobat. In that case you should go to the appropriate product forum.
