How do I put my itunes library onto my samsung phone?

Q. I recently bought a samsung galaxy s fascinate for verizon. I had an ipod touch and I now want to put my music from that into my phone and use it instead. I have an sd card for my phone but I dont know how to do it. Please help!

A. To play iTunes music with your phone, you need to convert the iTunes music (aac/m4a/m4p) to mp3 first due to the protection.

The easiest way is to burn the music to an audio CD in iTunes and then rip it back as mp3 files. Or you may get TuneClone to help you, which works great for converting a great number of music tracks, needs no CD discs and preserves the ID3 tags well.

Here is the official site: http://www.tuneclone.com

Why can't a Samsung cell phone from StraightTalk upload pictures to the computer?

Q. We have the right connections. My 15 yr old son says that some picture phones won't upload to the computer. Then why do they have cameras?

A. The pictures can be stored in two places, on the phone or on the Micro SD card. The reason he can not access his pictures is because the pictures are being saved on the phone and the computer is accessing the Micro SD card.

He needs to move the pictures from the phone to the memory card. This way he will be able to see all of his pictures.

Original Question

What does the active applications on Samsung phone do?

Q. I just got a Samsung Galaxy S4 and trying to figure out what all these apps and widgets do. In widgets, there's one called active applications. I know that you can see which apps you have recently opened and you can "end" them. It also displays the MB and CPU % of each active app. What exactly do those mean?

My question is does this widget benefit the phone at all when you "end" apps that you're not using? Does it save battery or Internet usage data?

Also please give other advice on how to save battery and especially save Internet data on the phone so i don't go over my limit of 5.0 GB. Thank you so much for helping a non-technology savvy person like myself.

A. Active applications refers to the applications running in the background. These applications consume system resources. The widget also shows the amount of RAM (Measured in Megabytes). RAM (Random access memory) is a temporary form of storage for data which keeps your applications running. Your CPU (Central processing unit ) processes data to carry out instructions to run applications. The more RAM and more CPU a certain process/application uses, the more likely it will make you smartphone feel slower.(You will not notice a significant drop in speed when having many active applications because the Galaxy S4 is one of the fastest and most powerful phones around).

To make sure you don't go over the network data limit, you can finish running applications which try to connect to the internet such as Youtube.

You can go to:
1-Settings
2-Connections (At the top)
3-Data Usage
4-Set mobile data limit
5-Set a limit on mobile data usage and a warning to tell you when you are getting close.

How much would the Samsung Omnia cost with an eligible upgrade?

Q. How much would the Samsung Omnia cost with an eligible upgrade with Verizon?

My upgrade was due back in June I just haven't had the money or the chance to do it.
The phone I have now already has internet and what not? Or would that even change the cost?

A. Right now your upgrade would cost about $50. But if you choose to get the phone you will have to pay a monthly service charge fee. Which includes unlimited megabyte usage. (Internet access) The service charge is $30/month. If you are willing to pay the fees then you can get the phone, but keep in mind that you will have to pay that monthly fee.

-Hope this helps!

How long is the samsung glyde battery supposed to last?

Q. I just charged it last night and it beeped, notifying me that it was fully charged. it isn't even three pm yet and i only have 1 bar left. i dont use vz navigator and i dont use the mobile web or any of the vcast stuff. i turned off vibrations and the light is only on for 15 seconds. i do text though but not excessivly. is anyone else experiencing the same dilemma where the battery dies down in less than a day without using many of the applications?

A. It takes a few charges for the batter to completely sync and operate at its maximum capacity. You most likely don't have anything to worry about, the battery is just new. There are very low chances that you actually have a defective battery.

How to use the samsung acclaim camera with the SD card?

Q. I kinda broke my sd card, now I can't take pictures, add musib, send pictures or whatever :/ help me please!

A. Broke your SD memory card? Well that's a kin to opening film camera with film in it. That's all she wrote! Time to purchase a new card. At least they are being offered at great prices now. But sadly it sounds like your pictures are done for. Oh by the way since your handling of the SD card broke it, you need to be extra careful with your camera. Put the neck strap around your neck always! Drop a digital camera and you are looking at an unrepairable "paper weight".......

How are the Samsung Mythic texting capabilities?

Q. I am planning on getting the mythic but just wanted to know if it's good for texting. I heard that it freezes and is unresponsive but I love it and want the truth. If someone could please clarify this and tell me if it's good or not that would be great, thanks!

A. I've had this phone for a while and it doesn't freeze at all for me. For me the screen is quite responsive, and if you're having trouble with it, just go to Menu>settings>phone>calibration and from there you can calibrate the touch screen.
There are three ways to text with this phone: 1:qwerty keyboard texting (just rotate the phone to landscape view and it will appear when you are texting) 2: regular phone keypad texting (this phone has a t9 dictionary or you can just do it regular) 3: handwriting( this phone will recognize letters in print handwriting, but beware, it must be very precise on how it is written)
That's all the texting methods on the samsung mythic A-897.
