Sieghard is correct. The only tiny thing I'd add is that the virtual keyboard on the iDevices can also be referred to as a querty keyboard since it's keys are laid out just as if you were using a standard querty typewriter or keyboard. On 5/25/2014 2:59 PM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: This

If you're trying to connect to an Exchange server then you wouldn't use either POP3 or IMAP. Exchange doesn't use either of these protocols; it has it's own protocol. I don't use Exchange, except at the office where everything is set up for me, but I'd think you'd go into Outlook and create a

In touch typing, when you place your finger on the character you want to enter, you just need to lift your finger to enter that character. This is quicker and less effort than double tapping the character you want to enter after you land on it. I also find split tapping to be pretty efficient,

The bluetooth antennae in the Aftershockz Bluez is on the left side of the headset, so if you place your phone on the left side of your body then that might help. Note that the Bluez 2 is redesigned, and this isn't supposed to be as much of an issue. On 5/22/2014 11:41 PM, Sieghard Weitzel

I don't have these headphones, but it sounds like they're being pretty aggressive with their energy saving and shutting down whenever they don't detect a stream coming in. This would explain why VO is normal whenever you already have a stream playing, but cuts in and out when you don't. In my
