What does this mean with my iPhone 5?

Group texting to iPhone and android users?

I have an iPhone, just curious when I send a group texts to friends who have iPhones and androids, do the people with androids see it as a group text and can respond to the thread? Often when I do this I get single response back from none-iPhone users rather than a reply to the thread. Can androids simply respond to a group text thread with iPhone users?

My iPhone won't play music when it's connected to headphones?

I plugged in my headphones and tried to listen to a song but it wouldn't start playing. So I unplugged the headphones and hit play and the music came out of the actual speakers.

How to do a hard re-set or manufacturing re-set to a iPhone 4?

I have a situation! My son found an iPhone 4. He asked me if he can use it… But as we all know, most likely the phone has been reported LOST by the owner, and I CAN'T activate it. With that said, the phone was password protected and we ended up doing a restore. I thought "restored" and "manufacturer re-set" was the same… Maybe it is. But now I'm stuck with a Verizon message that say "Verizon Wireless Account Information", it also asks me for my cell number, zip code, last 4 of social security number. Is there a way to skip that? I'm afraid to put my info, and getting in trouble by trying to activate a phone that could potentially be reported lost or even stolen. My son is 8, and all I want to do… Is for my son to be able to use it as an iTouch, just to play games.

How can I skip that message? Or do a manufacturing re-set. I found an article online, which told me that the only way to skip the password of an iPhone is to re-set it, and it will erase everything it.So, what I did was… I connected the iPhone to my iTunes, and while it was connected… I hold the home button and the power button, and it gave me the option to RESTORE, and after couple minutes… It gives me the message I mention above. Did I do something wrong, or can I try something else?

Would anyone buy a book about this topic?

My life has been abusive since I can remember and I want to write a book about it, do people buy books like that? It basically starts off as my childhood memories if my oarents fighting, then us leaving when dads at work then my father attempting to kidnap me then being returned to him when he won custody, then years if abuse that carried in into my relationships. Would that be the kind if book publishers would be interested in?
