iphone tv

tv on iphone

I've tried all the supposed tv apps, they are all disappointing. I worked for Sprint for a while, they have tv on thier phones, but it's disappointing, it reminded me of tv before cable, with a bad signal. I bought Cusoft DVD to Ipod software and I get dvd's of shows to tranfer to my Ipod, before you know it, you'll accumulate more shows than you can watch in a year.

I had Verizon's V-Cast for several months (I got it for the $15 unlimited data loop-hole opposed to a $50 data plan) before I got an iPhone and while not perfect, it's full length TV Show selection worked pretty well. I think if AT&T does improve it's network throughout the next year as they state they are going to they can start supporting high quality video, but it will never compare to having the media right on the device with no need to buffer.

Cannot Get Gmail

iphone e-mail - Cannot Get Gmail
Does anyone know of any reason why I would be getting this message- "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server "imap.gmail.com" failed.? I have been having trouble getting my mail on my phone lately due to getting this message. Any ideas?

You may be connected to a WiFi that is not working.

Turn off wifi and try through 3G.

I don't know why, but I had the same problem. I logged into gmail on my computer using the same account I have set up on my iphone and it asked me to type in a captcha verification. I did that and it logged me in normally after that. Then my gmail account on my iPhone started working again.

-------
I have had the message come up, but it is usually intermittent, and often i am able to get to my mail seconds or minutes after getting that message. The one time that it was really persistant I got it to work again by deleting the account from my phone then creating it again.

-------
Make sure your GMail account has not somehow disabled IMAP access.

Sent while on the go, iPhone style

Also, log into your GMail account on a rehukar computer make sure it
is not locked and imap is enabled.

I've also found that if you try again moments later it works. However, if all else fails, change the password on your Gmail account (on a computer) then delete and re-set up your Gmail account on your iPhone. I had this happen and was out of business for a week or so until I found this tip on the Gmail blog.

e-mail software version

Iphone - email software version

I have created a gmail account in my new iPhone. In trying to figure it out, I learned the difference between IMAP and POP for incoming mail. The phone defaults to IMAP. However I want to use POP. There are instructions on the gmail site but when I try to follow them I am told to tap certain things but they are not there. The software they give instructions for are 1.1.2 and 1.1.3. Neither one works. How does one find out what email software version is on the phone and also, maybe someone has some experience with this issue??

Your iPhone is most likely on 2.2.1 or at the very least 2.0 so those instructions do not apply, they are for iPhone v1. If you want to use POP (have no idea why), you need to delete the account you have, then click 'Othher' instead of G-Mail then type pop.gmail.com in the incoming mail filed and select POP instead of IMAP on the setup screen. Username, Password, and outgoing server remain the same.

"Today it's voice-to-SMS; tomorrow will be voice to any text application on the phone," said Giuseppe Staffaroni, Promptu's CEO. "Tweets to Twitter, email, Facebook status, calendar events, reminders - our technology is a perfect match. And, because it's server-based, and 100 percent automated - no humans behind the scenes - it is scalable to millions of users."

According to the news, ShoutOUT will soon be submitted to the iPhone App Store. The non-English version will also be distributed soon for iPhone users in Europe.

You can use Vilingo to create and send Tweets and it is free, works great
with your voice.

You can also use iProRecorder, but use iRec when you don't care about quality as it has buttons for GOOD BETTER and BEST recording quality..
