I got the same thing a few weeks ago, and it turned out to be the white cable. My daughter got it and chewed the end and bent a few on the leads in the plug. Check it with another cable, if that doesn't work, you may be up a creek.
iOS5 is great... on top of that notification bar on the home screen you'll get notifications on the lock screen when you get emails/phone calls/texts etc... Fully customizable as well.Even in its beta state, it is running very well.
I'm in a similar boat Keerock, though I have a 3Gs. I'm waiting for the next generation, whether it be called a 4s or a 5. I also had the "This accessory not compatible..." problem. I sprayed a ton of air into both ports with an air compressor and it seems to have fixed it.
How is battery-life? I pretty much have all push notifications turned off and check email manually because of the battery drain.'Green94 said:
Saw that as well. These rumors are nuts. I want to try my first iPhone so my original Moto Droid needs to hang on.
I've noticed it affects performance for sure. Not sure about battery life.
For the most part it doesn't have a big effect but it depends on what apps you leave running. Multitasking on iOS is created to preserve battery life, so it puts background apps into a sleep state, allowing only very specific functions to remain active. Apps that keep Location Services running are the biggest background battery drain; a GPS app for instance. Continually pinging the network to keep your location updated will drain your battery really fast.
Yea it drains for sure, but it depends on the app(s).Does anybody even utilize the multitask bar itself?
No. The default implementation of the multitask bar is horrid. Even with jailbreak apps it's not that great except to kill everything to speed the processor up.
No, and no.

Lots of talk that a low-priced iPhone 4 will launch soon as well, replacing the 3GS as an entry-level model. :thumbsup:http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/23/iphone-5-coming-to-sprint-other-carriers-in-mid-october/?a_dgi=aolshare_facebookIF apple does release the new iPhone 5 on all 3 networks expect their useage/sales numbers to be off the charts.

Her Samsung sucks and has a cracked screen now.http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/23/iphone-5-coming-to-sprint-other-carriers-in-mid-october/?a_dgi=aolshare_facebookIF apple does release the new iPhone 5 on all 3 networks expect their useage/sales numbers to be off the charts.

With the iPhone 5 release being little over a month away, it'd be silly to upgrade now. I mean, you've had the 3G for how many years and already skipped two new releases, what's another month? Also, rumors are that the iPhone 4 will be offered as the low end model once the 5 is out, so even if you don't need the 5 you'll save a few hundred on the 4 in another month.
Will the iPhone 4 run the new iOS?
Yes, I'm running it on a 3GS and a 4 right now.
Great, thanks.Any insight as to what a 4 might cost after the 5 comes out? Looking to ditch my Droid X and I might just pay for a 4 if they're not too expensive.
I believe they usually drop from $199 with contract to $99 in the past.
My wife & I are with Att. Total bill for the 2 iphones is $198/mo including tax.Unlimited calling to any mobile/any carrier. Tons of rollover minutes.
Thanks.Yeah, it looks like AT&T plans are cheaper than Verizon. That rollover minutes feature is pretty cool.
Why do you need/care about rollover minutes if you have unlimited calling?
Maybe he's using a bunch of minutes to land lines?
I heard it leaked last week that Sprint will be offering iPhone 5 in October with an unlimited data plan, to try and gain some of the market share.
This is correct. In a gvien year, I typically save all my landline calling for the month of October. I plan to call random landlines throughout the month to use those thousands of minutes. I might even call my own house and leave the receivers off the hook.I will get my money's worth.
Just as long as Sprint users don't use it to make actual calls they should be fine. I thought AT&T was bad, but a GB of mine has Sprint and seems like he has 4x the number of dropped calls.
Been on sprint for 11 years...I don't recall more than 3-4 dropped calls in that time span.
I am guessing no, ugh, will probably just upgrade to bionic so I don't have to deal with 2 bills per month
If it truly was to have LTE it would have leaked a long time ago. No idea what the holdup here is exactly now. I think the blogs have basically pieced together most of the key specs by this point. Only the camera was affected by the earthquake.
I gotta say I'd be surprised if it does. The most likely thing I see them doing is combining the various types of communicatoin chipsets (CDMA/GSM) into a single phone, since they're currently segmented into a verizon phone and other GSM phones. Apple's not into segmentation, so I imagine they'll do whatever they can to just have ONE phone to rule them all...and in the darkness BIND THEM!But who knows, I've been surprised before, but I'd expect a single iPhone 4s/5G with improved specs, with iOS5, and let the 4G network expand, and then introduce 4G next summer.
I last heard that iOS5 would be finalized by end of September, but that doesn't mean it'll be released then. Whenever it is, there will be a scheduled event, and the OS will be released afterwards.
Be afraid, be very afraid. The funny thing is that many people pointing to the new androids are comparing them to an iPhone 4, which is over a year old.I suggest waiting at least until you see what the iPhone 4S/5G has to offer, and read some reviews before going Droid. They make good phones, but if history is any indication, the next iPhone will be very competitive with the current droids just released, and will likely be more polished.iOS5 should also be very nice, coupled with iTunes match. That's what I'm most looking forward to.
