Will there be a universal phone with 4G/LTE + Current CDMA + Foreign GSM?
This would be a true universal phone, yet I see none on the horizon:

This would seem an obvious great niche to fill... So where is this phone? Any ideas why this niche isn't being filled?

While this sounds like a good idea, in reality it means now you have to find space for 3 radios and antennas in the same space you typically fit only one (or sometimes two). And then tie them all together in the software.
The biggest question is if there will actually be a market for this type of device, nothing gets built if it won't sell. My opinion is the market would be very limited.
I think that manufacturers will wait until LTE is established and working (reliably) on the Verizon network and then design phones with just LTE & GSM radios (no CDMA). These will be the 'global' phones of the future (at least until the next technology comes out).
I don't think we will ever see a CDMA/LTE/GSM 'universal' phone, there is just not a big enough market for it. Just my opinion.

No one but Apple would know that. Per the Terms of Use for these forums, we are discouraged from discussing possible new Apple products or changes.

None from a practical standpoint.

Will there ever be an update with Flash Player?
Will there ever be an update with Flash Player?
Very doubtful - Apple don't want it (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/) and Adobe have never managed to make it for iOS and they've now given up on it.
There are browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter Puffin and Photon which 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, and there is the built-in YouTube app for that site. -
One day my iphone 5 lost 50% battery power (standby+do not disturb+cleared multitasking) from 8am to 3:30 pm. What can i do? Or will apple release a new software?
I am a lucky customer of two of these storms....once which arent 3 weeks old and the first one the one that was my phone locked up in the first week and i was mashing the screen not hard and the **bleep** thing broke...well verizon says you have 30 days till you can no longer buy the phone insurance and who would of thought in my first week the **bleep** touch screen would break by me tapping on it trying to get the locked up software to respond....and guess what verizon said there is nothing they can do to a phone with a cracked screen....and also both phones blackberrry storms that were sent to me were used equipement. but I am still repsponsible for the two contract agreement and I cant even use the **bleep** phone...also they say you can add insurance within 30 days of new purcchase not the phone that was malfuntioned and the screen cracked....but they let me add it to the second line....i think its very dirty of verizon to send used phones with two contracts to someone and it malfuntion like that and not replace the phone...and still hold the customer responsible for two year contract...after all the **bleep** trouble the storms have been giving customers...thats why they are sending the **bleep** things out free of charge...dont get scammed and screwed like I did go with Tmobile or att..

With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will apple be supporting a late 2006 I mac currently running OSX Lion?
Ahhhh. Well, now you have earned a "Slap Kappy" coupon good for one slap. Expires in 30 days.
The 64-bit kernel thing will leave a lot of use behind. My main machine is a 2006 Mac Pro on which I've spent some money putting in two 4-core CPUs and an ATI 5770 GPU in the past year. If I want to run ML I can't do so. The only options I have for a desktop Mac is either a newer Mac Pro model - post 2007 - used or refurbed or a recent or new iMac. This assumes the Mac Pro line may be dropped. Apple has been very mum on that.
Clearly, Apple wants to get users of older hardware to buy new machines in order to run ML now and in the future. Because it is possible to boot the older models with the 64-bit kernel via some hacking, Apple might have been able to install ML on them by adding some code and retaining 32-bit drivers where needed, but they've chosen not to take that route. I think it's a bit of a marketing ploy to help drive up sales of new Macs, but I appreciate that Apple has chosen to abandon legacy support in the past in order to avoid having an OS like Windows - bloated by support for older and older hardware. -
Will Apple Care fix a phone with a broken back glass?
I bought an iPhone 4 in July 2010 at an ATT store, and bought an Apple Care plan with it at the same time. I managed to shatter the back glass of my phone on the day I bought it. It's been working fine ever since with the broken back glass. I just put it in a case and haven't worried about the back being broken.
However, recently the home button has stopped working very well. I am still under Apple Care extended warranty; however, I don't know if they will fix my home button with the back glass being broken. Does anyone have any ideas or ever been in this situation?
Thanks!Derndinge wrote:
Thanks for the reply. Just to be clear--I'm not asking them to fix the back glass, which I know is not covered by warranty. I'm asking if they will fix something else that shoudl be covered. They could send it back to me with the back glass still broken as long as the home button worked.
Sorry, but you're going to be out of luck. There is no way to prove that the damage that cased the glass to crack did not also cause the problem you want fixed under warranty. The only option Apple is going to give you is a $149 out of warranty replacement. -
Will there be an X ThinkPad with an AMD E-450?
Hi,
can anyone tell me, when and if Lenovo will bring out a ThinkPad with an AMD E-450? E.G. an X-121e with E-450 instead of E-350. Or do you believe they will skip this "better E-350"?
thanksLets all hope for that. But i am not sure whether you would get a 10 hr battery at the same time reducing the size and weight, as battery technology hasn't really improved by that much. I would imagine 7 hrs is more plausible.
Price wise, you probably won't get it that cheap, unless you have the Premium Club discount during sales season.

The only one that allowed me to change a delivery schedule is UPS, and there I had to open an account and pay a $20 fee to change a delivery to another date, and specify morning or afternoon. Could not refine it any further than that.
Normally, if FedEx delivers and no one is there to sign, they will leave a note and try again the next day. Will try to deliver three times and then return the item to the shipper.
You can take their note to the FedEx location indicated and pick up the computer yourself.
An alternative, if there is an Apple store convenient to you, order from Apple on-line for store pickup. I have done that, also. They will notify you by email when the computer is available at the store. You will have to show proof of who you are to pick it up. -

Android phone with strongest vibrate is the....?
Which Android phone has the strongest vibrate? I can not feel my Charge at all, I miss 100% of all calls I get. I don't like ring tones. Is there an Android OS phone with a very strong vibrate?
i believe they are all pretty similar. i do know that with my tbolt i can have it set to vibrate while it rings and when it's in my pocket, it recognizes this and rings much louder so that if i don't feel it vibrate, i can at least hear it. i also use missed call deluxe to set custom reminders (vibrate every 5 minutes until i check the missed call or text. if i don't fell the initial call, then i will usually feel the reminder. it allows for different types of vibrate patterns and strength.)

ITunes will delete everything on my phone during upgrade?
I want to upgrade my phone's OS thru iTunes but when I do, I get a popup that says that there are purchased things on my phone that I should transfer to iTunes before I upgrade. Ok. So when I go to do that, I get a popup that says that by syncing I will replace everything on my phone with the data from my iTunes. I have like, nothing in my iTunes. Just music. So it will essentially take everything on my phone and replace it with nothingness from my iTunes. What am I doing wrong?
got it.

Sony phone with Quadband GSM and CDMA support
Can someone please recommend me a Sony phone comparable to Nokia 2730?
I'm looking for a Sony Ericsson phone with the following capability:
Quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900
WCDMA 900/2100 and GSM 850/900/1800/1900
WCDMA 850/1900 and GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Automatic switching between GSM bands
It doesn't have to be a high-end 3G or smart phone. A simple one that could support those operating bands would be great. Sony Ericcson's website is not much help at these things, emphasizing too much on content capability but not the raw technical specifications.
Appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!In fact the SE website does give precise information on GSM and UMTS frequencies under the Specifications section of each phone.

I will have the majority of strength with my phone just sitting there but as soon as I try to call or text it goes to "searching". No other phones have this issue- so it's not network related. Is there something I can do to my phone? Iphone 4,latest OS

I have a new iPhone 5S. While trying to learn about it, I accidentally recorded a voice memo with no content. I cannot now figure out how to get rid of it. There is a banner across the top of my phone with this memo which I don't want. I have deleted it from iTunes but cannot get it off the phone. Help!
The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.
