Why was blocking mode disabled from GS3?

I do not understand why blocking mode was disabled from the latest update, it was very useful tool for me as I have trouble sleeping. Last night my phone drove me crazy, LED blinking, emails, texts etc... I finally turned my phone off, which would defeat the purpose of having the people on my favorites to contact me in case of an emergency. Please some one explain to me why we are not allowed to have blocking mode enabled... 

I feel your pain.  My Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 has blocking mode readily available.  My Verizon version of the S3 does not.  Why?  It's not just a nice feature, I truly need it.
Come on Verizon.  Post an update for the phone or at least instructions how to enable/access the setting.

  • I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?

    I downloaded the updated Firefox, but the ad-on for converting YouTube music videos to mps files is now unavailable. How do I get it back? Why was this feature disabled?
    In the former Firefox version there was a box to click for converting YouTube music videos into HQ mp3 files. That box is no longer apparent in the new Firefox version. I went back to Ad-On s and re-downloaded the program YouTube to MP3 1.2. It says it's not compatible with Firefox 6.0. Can I reinstall the older version of Firefox?

    When I clicked on the second site mentioned, I got such EXPLICIT, step-by-step directions!!! Thank you so much. I'd been wondering what that window was that kept popping up with the Firefox icon and that other funny thing. The word *install* was never mentioned. Pictographs were never my thing.
    When I looked under the initial system requirements, it said that OS X 10.4.5 and higher were good for 5.0. I didn't check further. Under your advice, I'll go with the older version. Thank you for taking the time to help me.

    I don't know who has marked and removed my reply, but should have at least considered deleting that word than the reply. Also, Because of that I lost 10 point .

  • HT5510 Why was app gifting removed from iOS6? It's almost Christmas and it's still not back...

    I mean, Google Maps was a stupid thing to remove but I can see there may be some strategic importance to getting Google out of the system, removal of the Japanese to English dictionary was a stupifyingly pointless move but it's unlikely to stop any revenue ecxept from non-JP speakers trying to buy apps they probably can't use, but I mean, come on, what?
    Why remove a one-click button that is simply a revenue stream from people's willingness to share? Have these people really lost the plot?

    Fixed this with apple care.  Had a unique situation.  Will share by email if interested.

  • Why was some music removed from store?

    I saw the The Mighty Underdogs' CD's have been removed from the iTunes store.  Anybody have any clue why?  I was going to purchase yesterday and only two videos and a few singles were available.  Weird.

    I am not sure why you think it is weird.  Retailers, including iTunes, have stuff going on and off sale all the time. 
    I haven't seen any news particularly about Underdogs, but it could possibly relate to licensing, distribtuion strategy, pricing issues, or many other reasons.

  • Why was almost $10 deducted from my NEW $25 iTunes card?

    I got a $25 iTunes card, but when I loaded it, only $16 remained. It stated that the card was worth $25. Somehow $9 was deducted before I even made my first purchase. How is this possible?

  • I cannot open a new tab by clicking on the X. Why was this function disabled when firefox updated. And I lost my links on my toolbar.

    Firefiox updated and I've lost my AOL links and cannot open tabs by clicking on the X.

    Note that the X is a close button and that the new tab button is styled as a plus (+) sign.
    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar New Tab button.<br />
    If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.<br />
    You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.

  • Why was I given false info about my delivery from customer care?

    I pre-ordered two phones in store. I had to pay out my current edge up price in order to edge up early to the iphone 6. I also got another phone on my line edged up to the iphone 6 plus. At the store I asked if I could bill the initial payment to my account (I have billed to my account on several other occasions). The in store rep said I could not bill this particular charge to my account, which I was totally okay with. I gave my debit and he swiped it. This morning my card was charged because my order shipped; I have no problem with this method, but I am frustrated I did not know this from the beginning.
    Also, I contacted customer support after receiving a text that my account had been charged $54.13. I checked my bank account and Verizon had actually charged me $80.90. Why wasn't I notified of the correct amount?
    I spoke with customer service this morning. The first rep was named Courtney I believe. She told me my phone was out for delivery today. After both USPS and UPS had been to my apartment I went down and checked for a slip saying they missed me: no slip. I called customer service to get the tracking number so I could further look into the issue. The second rep I spoke with was Mitchell. He said the package was in the city of the store I had ordered at and may have been delivered to the store. He called the store I ordered at and conferenced me into the call. Mitchell was no longer on the line randomly so I stayed on to see if someone at the store could help. The store rep told me that phones are not delivered to the store and she could not look up any account information over the phone. She referred me back to customer care. I called for the third time hoping to get some answers; I believe this rep's name was Ignasio. He was absolutely the most helpful and straight forward, but he informed me that the previous two reps were incorrect and could NOT have known any information about my phone's delivery status because it had not been issued a tracking number yet-he called Fed Ex with me on the line and Fed Ex confirmed that a tracking number had not been created because the package had not been shipped yet. I WAS SO FRUSTRATED that I was given false information from two different reps and never told a charge would be placed on the account the day the phone began processing to be shipped. Had I known that information when I placed the order in-store I would have known that the phone had just been processed for shipping today, because that's when my payment processed. I was not rude to anyone that I spoke to today, but I wanted to write this out because I was frustrated with the entire experience. How could I be given specific delivery info about my package if there is not even a tracking number for it yet?

    Welcome to dealing with Verizon's customer anti-care.  I have had a similar experience over the last week.  I tried to order 2 Iphone 6s and an Iphone 6 plus to replace the Iphone 5s, my family now use.  When I tried to order the phones on Apple's website, there was a weird error saying that I could only pick up the phone in an Apple store.  I called customer care to find out the issue.  They of course blamed Apple and said I could order the phones on Verizon's website.  I said that would be fine except that I was concerned with the shipping times, since my wife and daughter's phones are starting to have issues and I did not want them  to have to wait until late October - early November when the phones they want showed to be in stock with Verizon.  The representative said that the phones would ship as they are available so the silver 128GB silver Iphone would ship the next day, the Space Gray 128GB would ship on 10/3 and the Iphone plus would ship on 10/31.  I went ahead and went online and ordered the phones.  I waited until 10/2 to call to find out what happened to the silver Iphone and was told that none of the phones would ship until they were all in stock.  I cancelled the order and figured I would order them from Apple.  I asked when I cancelled the order how long it would be til I could place an order with Apple and was told it usually will let you order immediately, but in some cases it can take a couple of hours.  This was at about 8:00pm on 10/2.
    On the morning of 10/3 on went to Apples website and it said that there was a reservation for the lines in question.  I again called and spent an hour on the phone with Verizon to find out that the previous representative had not cancelled the order.  There were lots of notes to cancel the order, but the order was still pending.  The rep Louise was terrific and even sent me a screen shot to show that the order was cancelled.  I waited a couple of hours and tried to order the phones again.  The error saying that I would have to go to the Apple store was back.  I called Verizon they said it was on Apple's end.  I called Apple and they said it was on Verizon's end.  I decided to go to the local Apple store to see if they could help.  The rep at the Apple store was really helpful and said that is the same message they see when someone is setting up a new Verizon account (We have been with Verizon since 2002, and have never been late on a payment).  During our investigation the Iphone 6s showed available at another Apple store about 10 miles away.  I ordered the phone and set up personal pick up for the phones.  I went to the Apple store with the phones showed them my personal pick up confirmation and Verizon was blocking the phones from being sold.  I checked my account and I had already been charged by Apple.  Luckily the Apple store have a personal representative to contact for issues, it took 2 hours on the phone with her but eventually I was able to get the 2 Iphone 6s and go home.  I also had the Verizon representative tell me that it could be my employer discount causeing the error.  I went through the process of removing the employer discount and still cannot order the phones through the Apple store.  I bit the bullet and ordered from Verizon knowing that I will probably not receive my phone til next year even though my email says it will ship by 10/31.

  • Hi. My phone screen broke and I had it replaced from a phone shop. The guy said that while changing the screen and phone was blocked. It is now disabled for like 23,000,000 minutes and I can't restore it cause I dont have all the data sync to my computer.

    Hi. My phone screen broke and I had it replaced from a phone shop. The guy said that while changing the screen and phone was blocked. It is now disabled for like 23,000,000 minutes and I can't restore it cause I dont have all the data sync to my computer. Is there anything I can do or can Apple do something if  I give them the  correct password?

    As you had the iPhone opened by an unauthorised repairer ( Apple do not replace screens on iPhone 4)
    Apple will not provide any service or support
    Take it back to the "phoneShop" and tell them to fix it
    You have no other alternatives

  • How to open an URL from Forms in blocking mode?

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to open a website from within forms in blocking mode? The reason why I have to use blocking mode is that the user has to take some action in the website and has to end that session explicitly with a button on the website. After that, a file is written on the server that is needed for further action. Without that file the process can't go on.
    I use Forms (32-bits) versie 10.1.2.0.2.

    Thanks for your answer.
    Your suggestion is only possible with a timer-trigger (correct me if I'm wrong). And that's the point.... The time the user can act in the website is unlimited. So, how to set up a timer-trigger? Another work around is to make a process that works at some time and searches for the files on the server. But that's not what we want to do.
    Does anyone have another idea?

  • WHY is BT stealing money from a disabled woman ???...

    Since 30th December 2011 I have been having massive trouble with BT.  Firstly my broadband just stopped and despite my trying to get this sorted it took BT over 11 days to finally get my broadband up and working.  I had to put up with no landline for up to 4 days (Im still waiting to be told why) and then I was told that i had "cancelled" by broadband - which I had not.  The customer service team were rude, unhelpful and told downright lies.  Very few of them would actually give thier names and one I made an official complaint about when she called me back and told me "BT will not help you any further" this after a very frustrating call with her that ended up by me ending the call.  I am a severely disabled woman of 57 years old who is totally dependant on my phone and broadband.  I am housebound and the major problem for me was the fact my electiricty top up is done online with British Gas.  I was actually down to less than £1 of electricity and had to leave my home overnight as I was extremly frightened i would be left in the dark and the cold.  Friends had to come and collect me.  I must have dealt with over 40 customer service people - all useless and liars. 
    I have been promised by Michelle that I will be compensated and my outstanding monies returned to me - this is not proving to be the case, she promised me a cheque had been sent out to me last Thursday 12th January 2012 but as this was a blatant lie of course the cheque has NOT arrived.  She then sent me an email telling me she has been off ill this week for 2 days by way of explanation for not calling me as she promised, she is back in work - why no call ?????
    No care has been shown whatsoever, despite me telling them all i was severely disabled and that the stress of this was making me very ill.  I was constantly reduced to tears, lets keep in mind i have had several heart attacks in the last 2 years and my heart condition (as was clearly explained to BT) is triggered by STRESS.  They just dont care. 
    I am now changing to another phone company and this is where BT have now got seriously nasty and they are actually stealing money from me.  I am being charged for the rental of the line and broadband service and other services despite the fact i have already paid these charges in advance on my October 2011 bill.  It is surely fraud.
    Nobody from BT will call me or reply to me.  I have this morning sent a final email to Michelle from the Direct Debit Team and if i get no reply then i have no option but to go to the Onbudsman. 
    What is being done to me is nothing short of deception, fraud and deceipt.
    I will take this as far as I can go - even legal action. 
    I would also add that BT have deleted thier customer service numbers that I called so i cannot prove the calls were made, I suppose thier "recorded calls" will also be deleted as well.  One of the calls deleted was made by thier own engineer from my landline, apparently he was not in my home nor was he ever on my landline - he must have been an apparition, he told BT on that phone call that i was indeed severely disabled and extremely vulnerable and he also was shocked at the way i was being treated.  I do however have access to this engineer. 
    Is there anybody at BT who will have the guts and the honesty to deal with this ?????? i doubt it.

    I spoke this morning with yet another Billing Operator her name is "Rabhikka" she told me to not pay the bill that was generated until BT sort out this problem, I asked her to email me this - and yep youve guessed - 3 hours later and no email.  Why wont BT staff back up in an email what they tell you on the phone????????  It appears they are now charging me line rentals and broadband charges up to April 2012 - i leave BT 1st February 2012.  What part of that do BT not get?????  Was also told if I pay the £50 outstanding because of these charges then at some point BT will re-imburse me, yep i got money to burn.  Tell you what lets get really radically thinking here WHY DONT BT JUST PAY ME BACK WHAT THEY OWE ME ?????????  Wierd concept but easier surely................ I have sent the guy who has answered below my telephone number - lets see if he calls.

  • YouTube sound problems since RealPlayer was disabled from firefox

    Since RealPlayer recorder was disabled from Firefox, some clips in YouTube play with correct sound levels, while other can hardly be heard - even with the sound slider full on. There seems to be no reason as to which clip is going to be affected - it's just random.

    It looks like a problem with Flash. Are you using the latest Adobe Flash 11.3 that is known to have problems with Firefox whether or not RealPlayer is installed?
    Take a look here: [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071 How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

  • Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

    Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

    SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.
