Import pictures and videos from old cell phone


Posted Wednesday March 20 2013, 3:30 pm

I recently found my old Env Touch cell phone that I stopped using when I upgraded to another phone a few years ago. I turned it on and discovered I still had a ton of pictures and videos in it that I would like to keep. I know you can plug phones into the computer using their USB cord (which I have and it's definitely the cord to this phone) and you can download the pictures/videos to your computer.

Well, I've been trying to do that. When I plug everything in, my phone screen tells me it's syncing my music (I have none on that phone) A window pops up on my computer giving me a different list of opinions and the last 3 are various ways to import pictures and videos. So far I've clicked on all three to try, but it won't work. M...

Otter Box, Smart Phones and Perspiration


Posted Tuesday February 12 2013, 12:42 am

Last summer it was really hot; if I'm not mistaken it was the hottest summer on record. I had gotten a smart phone and it got a tad bit of water damage on the screen from my perspiration (even though I was incessantly wiping it dry). I want to replace it, since I have a warranty and it'll only cost $40, but I don't want the same issue this summer. I was thinking about getting one of those water proof Otter Boxes but I'm not sure if they will work for perspiration. Anyone have any ideas about it. ONLY Replies from people who have experience with Otter Boxes or other Smart Phone protectors please. Thank you.

HELP ASAP! Will this delete everything?


Posted Sunday February 10 2013, 8:46 pm

So I was on my iPad and realized I don't want iCloud on my iPad. My sister is getting an iPhone soon and she'll need the same Apple ID, so I don't want all my stuff to be sent to her iPhone.

So I was doing my research...
Will the "Delete Account" button delete everything on my iPad? I reasearched and it said that It'll delete everything that was used with iCloud. But here's the thing: I've never used iCloud before. I wasjust stupid one day and made an iCloud account but never used it.

But yeah, that's my question: If I click the "Delete Account" button on my iPad (In the iCloud Settings), will it delete anything on my iPad?

App Glitches


Posted Saturday January 19 2013, 11:18 pm

I have an old IPhone 3G that doesn't really work with anything. I recently bought this app called RandomTalk and i loved it. I had met many friends and a guy named... Let's call him Justin. I met Justin and he had given me a picture and I thought that he was very nice and polite. I had known him for 2 months when my app started crashing and glitching. One time I deleted and reinstalled it and it gave me all
My friends and info back. I had done this two more times and it worked fine. Then, it started glitching and it wiped out all my friends. I reinstalled it but they were still gone. I can receive messages from my friends but I can't message them. Justin (one of my best friends and the guy I like now) thinks that I am ignoring him an...

iCloud account on iPhone?


Posted Tuesday January 8 2013, 6:34 am

I have an iPhone 4, which I bought from my friend when he bought his new iPhone 5.
I was hoping to delete the iCloud account of my iPhone, because it is his account and I want my own.
I'm just worried that it would permanently delete the account entirely, meaning that it would also be deleted off of my friend's new iPhone 5.

If I delete the iCloud account, will it also be deleted from his phone, or just mine?

Network coverage across the US.


Posted Sunday October 7 2012, 12:58 pm

Hi all,

I apologize if this question might come across as stupid or obvious to those of you who live in the states, but as a European I really don't know!

Next fall I will be going to the states with my boyfriend and we'll be doing a road trip though a couple of states. My question is that if we buy a very basic prepaid sim card (without a contract), how does calling work. Does the phone number limit you to one state, or can you call from one state to another without added fees, etc?

For instance, here in Europe you have to pay a lot more if you're calling from country to another. I'm just wondering if the same applies in the US from one state to another...?

Any information on this...

So my bf moved to another state and we want to be able to webcam to each other through our phones but we have no idea what we are doing I guess. We tried skype and it's really stupid but maybe we are doing it wrong. We both have android phones. What are some apps that we can use to achieve this?

PS. IP Webcam doesn't work either.
