The topic should be more about how to do stuff with a mobile phone. Like installing apps, upgrading the firmware, enabling bluetooth, wifi and find solutions for problems people have with their phones. – Jochen Jul 9 '10 at 8:33

Think this should avoid carrier questions and stick to questions about using the devices – JoshB Jun 27 '11 at 20:46

also to talk about java midlets for them, e.g. facebook, ebuddy, nimbuzz, google maps... tochscreen apps... apps to use infrared, bluetooth, radio... – kokbira Apr 27 at 4:41

	Most phones now offer timed settings, if you are on general profile then you can set time for vibration mode. After that specific time you will switch back to general profile – Santosh Mar 16 at 0:57
	@Santosh - Perhaps you can add to questions on existing SE sites that have this question. apple.stackexchange.com/questions/2283/… and android.stackexchange.com/questions/1229/… – Leigh Riffel Mar 16 at 13:53

subjective and offtopic, went with offtopic – DForck42 Jul 14 '11 at 15:21

how is this offtopic? how is this subjective? – Agnel Kurian Dec 24 '11 at 19:35

That is unbelievable!!!! This question couldn't be more on topic. – Jim G. Dec 24 '11 at 19:41

It needs rewording. Rather than ask "why", it should ask what effect or benefits it would have. It's on topic though. – gkrogers Jan 18 at 20:19

I agree with gkrogers. Can someone please edit this question so we can reopen it? – THelper Mar 2 at 12:32

	There is an app on the market called carrier iq detector. You should be able to detect it with the app and remove it with installing custom firmware on your phone. – e-bacho 2.0 Feb 24 at 12:09
	@e-bacho-2-0 Thank you for your comment. I wasn't aware of such an app. Also note that this question is meant as an example question for a future SE site on mobile phones, so actual answers are not yet needed. If you like this question please vote it up. – THelper Feb 24 at 12:28
