The Apple iPhone Thread (3 Viewers)

A couple of questions for you iphone owners.Is it true you cannot receive pictures via "texting", any other problems texting?Anyone tried buying an unlocked phone? How is it working out?How is AT & T? I am in a heavy verizon area.Thanks in advance........
yes, but you get a weblink to go to to view the picture message. (pretty annoying)noAT&T and Verizon are top 2 services pretty much everywhere.
 
anyone having app store problems this morning. It says I have updates but when I click on I I get nothing. The rest of the store functions. It's the updates part.

 
New 2.2 firmware seems pretty stable so far. One of the interesting little features I've noticed is when you you update an app you already have installed, it now updates the icon in-place rather than updating to a grey placeholder icon. Also, the Maps app trying to tie down your location to an actual street address is pretty cool.

 
I should have my Fuze from AT&T next week. Don't worry iPhone lovers your phone still seems to hold a decent competitive advantage. A couple of negs I heard about the Fuze is that the touchscreen was not very responsive and the battery life only lasts a day :shrug:

What kind of battery life are you guys seeing with the iPhone (with what kind of usage)? Is it a charge every night type of deal or can you go a few days?

I usually charge every couple of days with occasional internet/camera/iPod usage. It's a charge each night with heavy usage, I would guess.Enjoy your phone.

Yeah, I use my iPhone pretty heavily and charge it every night with this so it isn't too much of a pain or anything

Any changes in the crashing on safari. I cant be on a site more then 2 minutes or so without it crashing and returning to home screen. Hoping the new update fixes that

They said that they had addressed several Safari crashing bugs in this update, and it hasn't crashed on me since I installed it. I don't use the mobile browser nearly as much on weekends as I do through the week, though.

If the firmware update doesn't fix this I would restore the phone.

My Fuze will arrive within a day or two. I don't understand the whole unresponsive thing, though. Look up some Youtube video reviews for it.

I am just going by what I read on Howard Forums, hopefully you are right.Can the iPhone do this?

I was riding the train home watching a game on my slingplayer mobile on my phone, and my wife called. While I was talking to her (using my bluetooth, of course) I kept watching the game. I couldn't help but think how awesome it was to be able to do that. That (and the crappy service in general) is why I won't be going to Sprint anytime soon.
Call quality is supposed to be better on the Fuze as well. :thumbup:

I don't think I've ever been so amped waiting for a UPS package in my life. Might even make me take the bluetooth plunge.

Anyone have the richard solo battery? I'm thinking of buying one
I have thought about picking that one up. I bought this Lenmar external battery kit (it sometimes drops below $35 on Amazon - guess they have raised the prices for the holidays) - and it has been very good. It can charge the iPhone from a little over 20% to completely full about twice on a single charge. Plus all the grip that comes with it makes it a universal cell phone and small device charger - it comes with an iPhone/iPod adapter, a mini-USB, a "straight-through"-type adapter and one of those old "copper fang"-type adapters. And you also get a low-profile USB wall outlet and car outlet with the kit. The coolest thing about the Lenmar is that it tends to charge the phone more quickly than a trickle-charge from the Apple adapater or from a laptop USB port. The downsides to the Lenmar are that it really has trouble charging the phone if you allow it to drop into the red before hooking it up. And it is kinda kludgy to carry when charging because the retractable cable's wires are extremely thin and look very delicate.

The Richard Solo 1800, on the other hand, has a few advantages over the Lenmar. You can charge it in series with the iPhone, so basically, you snap the battery onto the iPhone, plug the battery into your wall charger, and the phone and the battery will both fully charge off a single wall connection. The little plastic dock clip looks solid and it should make it much more practical and less kludgy to carry the iPhone+battery while charging. The 1800 has a built-in LED flashlight and laser pointer, which is kinda cool. And I *believe*, though I'm not sure, that the Richard Solo 1800 has more capacity than the Lenmar. The Richard Solo is rated at 5v 1800 mAh while the Lenmar is rated at 5v 7.8Wh. The conversion between milliamp hours and Watt hours is supposed to be (mAh capacity / 1000 ) * voltage, and by that formula, the Richard Solo would be 1.8 * 5 = 9 Wh vs. the 7.8 for the Lenmar. But bear in mind that I am playing way out of my normal ballpark doing electrical unit conversions. :unsure:

The only downside I see to the Richard Solo would relate to the type of case you have. If you have a full-skin style case that has just a port hole at the bottom for docking, you would have to remove your case in order to "dock" the battery to the iPhone with the plastic clip. That would be a pretty big hassle. You could *probably* plug the battery in through the docking hole without removing the case, but I wouldn't move the two around without the dockng clip being in place because that would seem like a sure-fire way to crack your iPhone's dock port. On the other hand, if you have one of those hard plastic "slider" cases where the bottom third slides off for easy docking, though, that would make it trivial to dock the two devices.

Now, if you're looking for a full-sized power plant for your iPhone, grab one of these.

Just joined the iPhone crowd... Moved from Verizon where I thought the Storm would be my next phone, but with the rest of my family on AT&T, I save about $50 per month switching...

 
What's the consensus for best screen protection and/or protective case?
The thin little plastic screen covers work the best imo. There are a ton of cases, just pick the style you like best.
Ya, the thin film protector is the way to go.Love this hard case by Incipio.

Comes in whatever color you want. So you get a colored rubber cover and then a clear plastic case goes over that. Very durable and doesn't thicken the phone too much.

It probably depends on where you keep your phone (pocket, holster).

I just keep mine in my left front pocket away from my keys. No case. After a year it still looks brand new.

I've never been a clip guy so i was concerned about the iphone being pocketable. But it is. Half the time it is sitting out on a desk anyway.

I use this hard case. Looks like crap now because I've dropped my phone about 20 times so far with no damage to the iphone. I'm thinking about getting a new one because of the beaten its taken
 
the new google voice app needs some work. I tried a Chinese restaurant in the city where I live and was surprised by some of the results. I googled Asian Taste with the city name and my top choice was Asian #######

 
Now that you can DL podcasts directly to your phone, im obsessed with them. What are some the podcasts you guys put on it, didn't realize how much there were.

 
Any way to delete a bunch of emails at once on the Iphone? I know you can currently tap on each one then scroll then tap then delete but what's the quickest way to say delete 50 emails?
