                          • Filed under: Enterprise , iPhone If your iPhone was connected to an Exchange server for email, contact or calendar synchronization prior to your upgrade to the 3.0 software, you may have run into the same problem that was bugging me for a day or so: the timeout on the passcode lock gets set to "Immediate," forcing you to enter the code almost every time you pick up the phone. Secure, sure, but very annoying. Going to the usual settings location to adjust the timeout shows no choices other than…
                          • We know, we know, it's gonna be awfully hard to part with the comfort of your current beloved Meizu M8 , but trust us, change can be good. We've already heard reports of an Android-centric UI refresh , and now company CEO J. Wong has chimed in to outline a tentative upgrade plan for the upcoming M8 3G . Current users of the eerily familiar 8GB / 16GB device will need to pay approximately 1,300 RMB to 1,500 RMB (translation: about $190 to $200 US) for next year's model. Oddly enough, despite…

Which would have been really thoughtful and unexpected. If I had gotten one. Anyway. The pre-launch expectation from analyst Gene Munster was for a comparatively modest 500K units sold over the weekend vs.…

I went to check messages, and instead of seeing the list of people who called, the phone simply dialed the voicemail number. The solution this time is the same as last time. Go to the AT&T web site, log in, and under Phone, Device Support you'll see an option to 'Reset Voicemail Password.' Go ahead and do that, and AT&T will send you a text message with a temporary…
