Q. A few days back, at work, someone stole our money and phones from our bags. The person entered into our lunchroom and took them from the table/out of our bags. The reason we even kept them there was because 1. No one is allowed to enter them except staff 2. Our lockers had no keys so they did not feel any safer. My wallet with money and all my IDs was stolen and my phone. Other phones and wallets have disappeared too.
Since then our boss told us they had videocameras and will look at them. I kept calling and asking her because I really wanted to know if it was someone from work or a stranger (and yes, stupidly enough a smart stranger was able to go upstairs without even so much as opening a door). She told me the owner of our store has seen the videos, they know who did it, but she will not tell me just yet. First, they will hand out the video to the police. I was really persistent with my asking because I consider I have a right to know who did this to me and if my posessions are safe at work.
I asked her if we will get keys for our lockers now and she answered "Partially, yes". After I called again a week later my other boss said the lockers have no keys just yet. So obviously the other one lied to me. Also she said she does not want to get herself involved into this so I will just have to wait to find out who the thief was.
That made me really angry so I simply went to the police with my passport and the Case Number and he had a look into our file from that day. The report said "We have been told there are 2 cameras in the rooms where only staff is allowed, but both do not function." And I was like "Well yes, but my boss said they sent you the video where you can see the thief" and he answered "Young lady, there is no video." (This was one week after my boss told me they gave the videos to the police) So my boss basically lied to me about this too. I called my colleague who also got robbed and told her about it, she didn't even know anything about any video. Turns out I was the only one believing there still is hope as I was the only one being lied to.
Is she allowed to do that? Just lie to me like that? I plan to confront her on my next day at work, tho I am scared I will be fired for going behind her back to the police. On the other hand I am not sure I still want to work there after what happened to me, especially with my boss lying to me.
Also I have borrowed money to buy a new phone I have wanted for a long time and now I am scared to take it to work with me, especially since we still can't...lock our lockers. And I am not allowed to take the phone with me while I am at word. I can't take another phone, a cheap one, and put the sim into it because my new phone has that nano sim or whatever it is named.
So my questions are: Is my boss allowed to lie to me like that? Any ideas on how I can hide my phone from her but still keep it with me at all times? Obviously, the thing I got from being a fair worker and leaving my phone in the lunchroom was my phone vanishing. I can't really wear baggy clothes at work, we have to be dressed elegantly and "in style".
It's a pretty big phone, as well, I got the Samsung Galaxy SIII.
Edit 1: We simply are not allowed. I don't understand either, because I didn't plan on using my phone during worktime but simply having it with me, turned off. But it's the rules...
Also, no, they will not pay us a dime. I don't live in the U.S. - apparently we have other rules here, they don't even feel responsible for what happened. At all. Not even for the not working cameras. It is our fault for leaving our stuff there.
Edit 2: My stolen phone was a Nokia C7.
A. I am guessing your boss told you that the person who stole your stuff was filmed and they know who did it, in the hope that you would go tell everyone at work and if the robber was one of your work mates they might get scared and hold there hands up
its not nice to be the one who is used to feed the lie to the rest of your work mates but if it had worked you would of been happy
if your not allowed your phone at work why not leave it and any money you might have, at home it makes me laugh how people must have there phones with them at all times, i never had a mobile til i was 35 so we coped then with out them 24/7 im sure we can now
Which is best smartphone now? and why? Share your own experience.?
Q. I was thinking of Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S3, Nokia Lumia, Sony xperia etc etc. Really confused.
I need good battery, Lower SAR rate, of course good photo quality (front camera is not important),
comfortable to use for a young girl.
Suggest and describe only the phones you have used already. True reviews please. If you had faced some problems with some specific phone include that too.
Thanks in advance.
Do you prefer Android or Windows phone 8? write the reason please.
A. If you don't mind the lack of apps , Nokia Lumia 920 is the best smartphone. It has a good battery , a smooth OS with a user friendly interface.
If you are a heavy user of apps, go for Xperia Z ( best Android phone) or iPhone 5 ( best iOS phone)
*iPhone 5 is very much prone to scratches. If you're not planning to use protection cases for your phone, you'd wanna stay away from it.
Samsung galaxy mini worth buying?
Q. Is it a good android phone, and is the battery life long enough?
Also should i get this phone or an iPod Touch and a cheap Sony Ericsson Cybershot?
I like my music and games now and again but use my PS3 and computer for that, but would like something to keep me occupied on a car journey maybe?
Any ideas as im not sure and have been looking for a while, I have the Nokia 5230 at the moment and isn't that great!
A. The Mini certainly lives up to its name -- the handset is positively dwarfed by the Galaxy S 2, although, when compared to other budget Android devices, its dimensions seem less dainty. For example, the phone is only slightly smaller than the LG Optimus One, one of its closest rivals.Like so many of Samsung's phones these days, the Mini is constructed almost entirely from plastic. Despite the lack of aluminium and brushed metal, the device feels sturdy enough. It doesn't creak when gripped tightly, and the battery cover is well secured. You'll also find that the micro-USB port is protected by a rubber cover -- something that isn't always the case on many modern phones.
The Mini bucks the trend by featuring only three buttons on its front, rather than the usual four. The near-ubiquitous Android 'search' command is missing. The placement of the buttons is also somewhat unusual. The 'home' key is fixed inside what initially looks like a trackpad, but in reality is merely a single button. This arrangement takes some time to get used to, and you'll often find yourself automatically pressing this central button as if it were a means of confirming a menu selection.
Picture imperfect
On the back of the handset, you'll find a 3-megapixel snapper, which is also capable of capturing low-resolution video footage. Sadly, the lack of flash and autofocus curtail the camera's usefulness, and the washed-out images look poor when viewed on your laptop or television.
Trapped within the Mini's modest frame are some distinctly low-end specifications. The 240x320-pixel display is possibly the most disappointing element of the entire package -- it's rather inadequate for surfing the Web and reading emails. Images appear heavily pixellated and reading tiny text is near-impossible.The upshot of this low resolution is speed. Because it doesn't have to render high-resolution images, the Mini positively whips along, despite its unimpressive 600MHz processor. Moving between applications is a pleasantly swift experience, and the process of navigating Samsung's TouchWiz user interface is never anything but silky-smooth. Hitting the Web is a reasonably nippy experience too, thanks to the inclusion of 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity
The only exception to this swiftness is mobile gaming. While the Mini is perfectly capable of playing many thousands of titles available in the Android Market, it struggles with more graphically complex titles.
Despite the presence of Android 2.2 Froyo, the Galaxy Mini's browser doesn't support Adobe Flash. Like the LG Optimus One, the Mini runs on an ARMv6 CPU, and an ARMv7 chip is required for Flash support. It's also a shame that Samsung didn't launch the handset with Android 2.3 Gingerbread -- HTC managed it with the similarly modest Wildfire S, after all.
The Swype is mightier than the tap
Like so many of Samsung's phones, the Mini ships with the Swype text-input software. This method of typing requires you to draw a line from letter to letter on the virtual keyboard to compose words, thus removing the need to lift your finger from the screen. It's incredibly quick and makes typing on the Mini's cramped 3.1-inch capacitive touchscreen much easier.Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy Mini's nippy performance and Swype software make it an ideal phone for younger users, and those who want to experience Android but don't want to spend all their cash on a high-end phone. But the low-resolution screen, average battery life and lack of gaming clout mean you should also consider rival devices, such as the Galaxy Ace, Acer Liquid Mini and HTC Wildfire S. Still, if your aspirations are kept in check, you might find much to like about this diminutive device.
