Cellphones & Mobile Accessories

I just got a samsung transform today and im a little frustrated because the screen shuts off extremely fast if i pause in what im doing. I have to hit a button to turn the screen back on and then slide to unlock. Part of the time it kills whatever I have going at the time. What app can I get to keep it from doing this, without totally killing my battery?

I am 12, and I’ll be turning 13 very soon. I have tried to ask my parents for a cell phone, and I even tried negotiating with them! I explained to them that I would buy the cell phone, and I would earn minutes by doing chores around the house. (5 or 10 minutes is equivilant to $1.00 for chores)

I really do need a cellphone, because I take part in many sports, like volleyball in the fall, basketball in the winter, tennis in the spring and summer, golf and softball in the summer. I also take part in Scouts year round, and I also am, both, choir and band as well, and there are at least 6 choir concerts and 6 band concerts each school year. I also am a very mature and responsible babysitter, and yet, I still have time to hang out with my friends.

I am a real busy-body, and I am very mature, as people have told me. I am also a good student, and I maintain a 3.8 or above GPA. I have tried to explain this to my parents, but they keep telling me that I don’t need a cell phone.
I looked at the Firefly phone, and it seems to “childish” for myself.
I do actually have two “jobs”, so to speak. I mow the lawn once per week, and I earn $20 for that. I also baby-sit my cousin every once in awhile, and I earn about $4.00 per hour for that. I am also very cautious about spending my money. I have about $200 at the bank, and about $150 at home. I’ve never made any major purchases, but I do buy a computer game or something like that every once in awhile.

I just want to know how many minutes $1.00 would be equivalent to.
The main reason why I want to buy a cell phone, is for emergencies. Like if I need one of my parents to pick me up, if something serious happens, .etc.

I also am sick of sharing phones with my parents. I want to be independent. It’s also quite embarassing when I have to ask someone if I can call someone on their cell. I mooching!

I know that a cell phone is expensive, but I have a reliable “job”, and I believe that I will be able to pay the cell phone bills. I work very well under pressure, so the fact of having a cell phone, and having to pay for the cell phone bills, will get me motivated to earn money by doing different jobs.

I just don’t see what the problem is myself wanting a cell phone. My parents tell me that I do not need a cell phone, but with my very hectic and busy schedule, I believe that I do. My mom is also concerned with cell phone radiation, which “supposedly” causes brain tumors, .etc. There is a very small chance that that could happen, though.
I also don’t want a Firefly phone, because I have heard that the minutes expire after 90 days, unless you keep buying more minutes, and than 30 days after that, the phone gets “disconnected”. It’s not “re-connected” unless you buy a $25 SIM card. Which sucks!
I was thinking of buying a Disney Mobile.

What do you think?
The thing I mostly about payphones, and I’m sure mostly everyone without a cell phone can relate, is that you always have to have spare change. Which is very unlikely…

i’m doing a project,i want to interface a cellphone to a computer. first,i’m going to ask for some data using sms,and the data is stored on the computer.
the computer then will send the data back to me using the cellphone i interfaced to it.

I just recieved my new Samsung T-609 phone. And it says that it is an Mp3 player, but I have no idea how to get music onto it. It says I can get it from my PC to my phone, and how exactly do I? Do I need a cord that I have to buy? Or use bluetooth? And as Of bluetooth I dont even know what BlueTooth is and what it is capable of. Please help me!

I understand wifi and everything, but there is one thing I don’t get. How come apple made the iphone music store that you have to be on wifi to access it? I know that edge access would be slower, but that can’t really be an excuse. Edge and wifi use the same internet, so why can’t both access the itunes store?

And what software can I use to upload my running distance time etc to the internet eg facebook to please? I have herd of runkeeper but I want another one!

Thanks

I’m interested in opening a cellphone store, but want to know what I need? Like where would I get the cellphones from and where I would open a account for carriers and earn commission from opening contracts and so on. 411 about it I perfer a actual person who owns one to answer this. Someone who had hands on expierience will probably get my best answer selection. Thank you.

I am in dire need of a topic for my class. Apparently, my professor wants us to find a specific yet interesting problem or objective which we can research on about cellphone usage and/or technology dependency. PLEASE HELP ME.

What is a good website with free games for nokia phones, games that don’t need to be connected to play?

A site that has no viruses, no spyware and is free, do you know of any?
