Why I don't use the fingerprint reader in my 5S

I loved the fingerprint reader when I first used it, until I noticed one thing: When you enable the fingerprint passcode unlock, you lose the ability to set a duration of the "Require Passcode" option to anything other than "Immediately". If I'm txting or driving with my navigation app, I constantly need to be able to get in and out of the phone, and it's very inconvenience to have to swipe the notification on the lock screen and then have to use my fingerprint to get in. I want to still be able to only have it require a passcode after x minutes, even if I use the fingerprint option. For that reason I have turned off the fingerprint feature. Is there a workaround? Does anyone else find this anoying?

Not sure what you are asking. Does your account not work on your phone, are you getting an error message ?

I cannot use the Fingerprint reader to unlock my screen!

I just updated my S5 software from SM-G900V NCG to NE9 and now my screen will unlock only with PIN or Password. Before the update I could use my fingerprint. When I try to select Fingerprint that option is grayed out and informs me "Turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage." How do I get the Fingerprint option back?

This was also a problem I had post update but I got it back. First do a complete recheck of your fingerprint settings? If you’re still grayed out next power down phone & remove the battery, SD card and SIM (handle SIM with care (don’t touch gold foil) for about two minutes. Re-install SIM, card & battery then power on phone. This should clear up files and return the print reader setting. If however it’s not working do the next step:
Go to settings then backup and reset, tap Reset settings and then tap reset settings at the bottom of the screen. You will not have a loss of your accounts or any apps but you will affect some of your personal preferences settings. You can reset then as before after the restart. It will remove the bad files in your system and this restored my print reader. Give the above a try...first.

What can be done with the fingerprint reader?

I am trying to figure out simply what I can do with the fingerprint reader on the T400. I understand how to use it to log into the computer. My main question is whether or not I can use the fingerprint reader in the following contexts, and if so how.
1a) To log into internet password protected websites. When I use IE, the password manager pops up and prompts me to save a password. If I save it, I can return to that website and it automatically will enter the login information and password for me. I want to know whether you can have password manager (or another program) prompt the user for the fingerprint and then submit the login information. That way the information is protected each time I log in, but I do not need to enter log in information each time, only a fingerprint.
1b) If this is possible in IE8, I would like to know if it is possible in Firefox 3, in which password manager does not pop up.
2) Can it be used to log into MS Outlook.
3) Can it be used to lock documents in MS Word.
I much appreciate any information letting me know if these can be done, and if so, how to do them. Thank you very much for your help!

After playing with it for a while I figured out at least questions 1a) and 1b). For anyone else who has the same questions:
1a) Have your browser save the password using Lenovo's Password Manager. Then open password manager and open that item. Click the advanced tab and change the security level to custom. Click "Customize Security Policy" and select "Protect with a Fingerprint."
1b) Lenovo has a patch to synch Password Manager with firefox 3. It can be found here and is much easier than the manual fixes found on this forum.

I am still looking for help with 3) and 4), particurally 3). Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thank you very much!!

Can i use only the fingerprint reader to log onto my phone?

I'm wondering if I can by pass the 4 digit code completely and only use the fingerprint reader to log onto my 5S phone.

Yes, that's how it's designed. You only need the passcode if you haven't unlocked your iPhone within the last 48 hours.

Why cant you use the fingerprint to unlock phone after it is disabled?

Is there a way to unlock your phone using the fingerprint scanner after it has been disabled?

No - you will need to do the following: iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled

Why can't I use the iPad as my smartphone?

My basic question is,why can't I use the IPad as my smartphone? Ipad is doing everything what a smartphone does, except the calling facilities. Since IPad can connect to the Internet(WiFi), and via VOIP services like skype or yahoo, we can very well connect to any mobile or landline phone. So what I'm asking is, Ipad can very well provide some User interface as phone does and internally it can use the VOIP to connect to phones. Share your views.

My basic question is,why can't I use the IPad as my smartphone?
You can as long as you don't want to make calls over a mobile phone network as the iPad doesn't have the hardware to make calls that way.
At least we'll be able to recognise you on a call:

Why we need to use the RMI if you have JSPs? or vice versa

Hi friends,
Can anyone please explain me whats the difference between RMI and JSP?
All I know is how to code and implement them both but can't figure out which one has more advantage than the other.
Actually this was the Interview question asked to me once,
The question was "Why we need to use the RMI if you have JSPs? or vice versa"
Please let me know if you have any answers for this.
Thank you.

Well I may not have very deep knowledge about them both but from the little bit of coding practice and implementation I know that too, that they are different technology and the implementation is also different. But didnt know what to answer for this question to interviewer.My answer would have been along the lines of using the right tool for the requirements. Use RMI when you want to work with remote objects "directly", but don't want to hassle with handling all the networking manually or restrict yourself to the HTTP protocol and an inappropriate use of the view layer in model 2 applications.
Thanks anyways for the reply.You're welcome. How did the rest of the interview go?

I don't use the TV service. Can I cancel it and just pay for wifi?

I don't use the TV service at all that I get billed for. The box isn't even set up and comcast support can't figure out why it won't work. I'm still and have been paying for it all year. Can I get them to only bill me for Internet service?

Yes, you certainly can. Your internet price will go up around $15 a month without having TV also.
You can call and change your plan, or go to your local Comcast office change your plan, drop off the cable box, get a receipt and don't lose it.

I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now. Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it. I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
Outlook is still not working. Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.

I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area. I have stayed with 10G since the beginning. Most months I don't use the 10G. Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't use. This month my daughter comes home from College and she accidentally uses 24G.....14 over get blind sided with $140.00 in overages. I called Verizon today......stopped in to the store today......My neighbor told me they waved charges for her one time. Lots of charges.....But I'm am getting no help. Not even an offer of a payment plan to help me out. I went back just 6 months and I have over paid for 19G.....Seems like they would like to help out their loyal customers!!!! Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with them? We are not wealthy....or I would just pay this and walk away......

There is a big misconception in what customers believe a cell carrier is obligated to do.
You pay a set price to use up to that amount of xx data. It makes no difference if you use it to the paid limit or way under. Its like peace of mind when you don't have to worry about a data counter.
Your daughter used the data, your plan is quite clear of what overage charges are. Why should or would Verizon wireless just forgive the charges because you are a customer? Your daughter used the data, get the money from her. That is the responsible thing to do.
There is no "I have been a loyal customer so please remove the $120, or $250, or $2,000.00 since I did not mean to use it"
Your electric company, or gas company or any other company does not remove valid charges. Why should Verizon wireless?
Just pay the invoice and don't think you are being mistreated because Verizon is a business and not a charity.
Good Luck

Since I updated to Firefox 4.0 I no longer can use the fingerprint scanner to log into websites. I get a message saying the protocol dpql isn't associated with any program. It was working fine upgraded. What do I do now?

The scanner works fine with Explorer and worked fine with Firefox before the upgrade. I find it disconcerting that you upgrade something that then changes how I have to use my computer in ways that have nothing to do with Firefox. At least we should have been warned prior to the upgrade that this was going to happen.

Id this the HP SimplePass Identity manager or Digital Persona fingerprint reader? If it is, the company that make the fingerprint reader have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388

Why can't i use the radio on my nano 7g with bluetooth

why can't i use the radio on my nano 7g with bluetooth. i wanted to use wireless feature at work but i only use the radio at work , so i bought bluetooth stereo headphones by plantronics, got the backbeat 903, at wal-mart . got home got it all set up and works fine but not for radio , i'm so dissaponted and am thinking i might take them back and continue using the wire ware , but then again i like listening to my podcast while doing dishes and chores at home so the bluetooth would be better for that .

i have sent a feedback form to apple about this problem . i hope that they work on a sulotion for it .

My iCloud email address and my apple ID are different. I would like to change my iCloud to be the same as my apple ID. However I don't know my iCloud password and don't use the email address it belongs to. When I try to change the password, apple brings me to a page to reset my apple ID password (which I know and don't want to change). I have even tried to delete my iCloud account completely to start again but am not allowed without the iCloud password (which I don't have) there doesn't seem to be a place to change the email address of iCloud. What can I do?

This is the answer that I had expected, so in this case you could only change your gmail.com address to another providers email addres e.g. outlook.com, yahoo.com, etc., but you won't be able to change the gmail.com address to a icloud.com email address. Apple just won't let you do that.
Your iCloud account with @icloud.com email address and you Apple ID with gmail.com address are already connected and as I said before, Apple just let you merge this two IDs together.
