The Apple iPhone Thread (1 Viewer)

'towney said:
Bought the 5 32gig for my wife and she had it for only 2 weeks before someone stole it out of an employee area (was not an employee). Apple was unwilling to assist and Sprint could have cared less, so the only way to get another one was to pay full retail. I had the apple care warranty but unlike the Sprint Assuron warranty it did not cover theft/lost. Wife liked the 5 over her EVO but thanks to a shameless crook she'll have to wait 2 years till upgrade available. Heck I was even willing to pay a discounted price for another one but Sprint and Apple said there was nothing they could do, really...

Why would you expect Apple or Sprint to provide you a replacement or discount on a new one?If your car gets stolen does Ford help in anyway? Shoes - Nike? TV - Dell?

Report the phone as stolen and make sure the police have the serial. Also, I would check to see if the phone had been wiped by using the find my phone. If it reports back a location that should help the police also.

battery ran to zero last night on accident. how bad is this for the battery, can I expect a significantly shorter life now?
Click to expand...
No. 0% is far from actual 0.

my phone shutting off from lack of power isn't actual zero? so I'm good? nice.
Click to expand...
Yes. All phones have two protection mechanisms in place to prevent over-discharge and over-charge as well as a 3rd safety mechanism meant to prevent fire/explosion electrically as well as chemically.

Tried that feature but crook must have turned the phone off. I tried calling the phone thru out the day and kept going to voice mail. Well to answer the posters question on why should Sprint do anything, how'bout being a Sprint customer for over 10 years. I tried sprint store, costumer service, supervisors and even retentions. Just sucks that just signed a 2 year renewal for the IPhone 5 and now have to wait, thank god I kept her old EVO.

Once they pull the sim there just isn't much you can do. Why not just get a 4s? It's the same damn phone for all intents and can be had on cl for 300-350ish locked. Another option is trying to get your 200 back from your credit card company for lost/stolen merch.
 
62%

Usage 2h 40m

Standby 1D 9h

I'll let this run another day, see how high I can get the standby to.

FWIW when I first got the phone I ran it all the way down before giving it a full charge, not sure if that is why I am seeing such good battery life.

It was not a huge leap ahead at the time. Just a fresh take with great marketing.Here are where the leaps happened in my opinion1. Dynatac - orginal cell phone.2. Microtac - first truly portable cell phone3. Nokia 9000 - First smartphones4. Sony p800 - First touch screen PDA phone After those devices it has been adding in additional components as they get small enough. Such as GPS, Cameras, etc. Those were the major jumps in tech though.

I don't really think there is that much doubt the iPhone was revolutionary in the way people USED their phones. It went from being a phone that could do X,Y,Z to a portable computer that could make phone calls. It was evolutionary in the sense that there really wasn't a lot of brand new tech, it was just nobody had put it all together in an attractive product. It definitely revolutionized the mobile phone industry though. No question. The App Store was a brilliant way to distribute apps to the phone as well, and the payment structure also was instrumental in getting developers to build apps.

While I don't quite share goon's love for Apple, there is still no question they made a revolutionary device. Not yet as revolutionary as telegraph to telephone maybe, or telephone to mobile phone, but the impact is still being assessed since it has affected not just the mobile phone market but also the computer market and internet provider's market.

This in my opinion was the biggest factor of the iPhone catching on. iTunes and the success of the iPod where huge. Along with some of the best marketing out there. They went the route of the general public vs Microsoft taking the route of the enterprise.I don't think it was as revolutionary to those using iPaqs and moving through the Windows Mobile growth path. We had a full suite of apps to do everything we needed from Music, Video, Games, Outlook, Audible, Word, Excel, GPS, Bluetooth, etc.

I've never used CNET to determine what I purchase or what is the best of a tech. Since your brought up a phone released in 2005 here is one that competed with it. Dell axim x51. I do agree that the iPhone style and design was nice.

Your correct. I just pulled that off the top of my head thinking it was. The Sprint PPC-6601, 02 devices, and the iPaq h6315 were smartphones. The point I was trying to make was nothing it was doing was that different that what was occurring in the market at the time. If you were using the devices daily.You know what was really different about what Apple did. Here is a

 
Two days before I started at Dell, a 23 year old rep (first job out of college) booked an order of 20,000 axims for Exxon or Wal Mart or some such. Met his number for the entire year and since this was before they capped commisions he had enough cash to sit around until he got to take his "top sales rep" trip to Hawaii and then quit to start a business with his brother.

You need to make a custom RAM disk and then brute force the thing until it hits the password correctly. There should be shops locally that can do it for you at a cost of 100 bucks or so. If you don't do much command line stuff it will probably be too much to DIY.Either that or just restore the thing to a prior backup and lose the data you had on there in the interim.

Yep... Well, not snooping in a sneaky sense. I took the phone from him and asked for the code. He wouldn't tell me so he hasn't gotten the phone back.

If that is the case I would wipe it. Then let it sit and collect text, e-mails, etc from his friends. I'm lucky that while I have taught my kids (15 and 13) to use a lock screen they have no problem giving me the codes.

That seems kind of silly to wipe it. If his son wouldn't give him the code it's because he's hiding something, he'd be doing him a favor wiping it. And I'm sure the son has already told all his friends/contacts to stop all communication through the phone once it was taken. My daughter has a phone and facebook with the stipulation we have access to every password. If she ever changed it and refused to divulge it I would explore every option to find out what it is she is hiding before I erase all the information.
 
If it were my son he'd be losing one thing/privilege for each day that went by that I didn't have the code. Within a week or two he'd be one miserable kid.

Sure there's a chance I could wipe what he is trying to hide. If that's the case I would be fine with it as I doubt it's anything to serious and if it was maybe it's better that it was wiped period.I also find it hard to believe he could tell ALL of his friends and them still not have them forget. I know my sons friends have about a 2 day memory or less. If I was really worried about if he's hanging with the wrong crowd I doubt texts or e-mail would reveal a lot anyway. Especially if they are smart enough to remember not to text him after a few days of you having the phone. Just knowing who and where he's hanging out is a better option in my opinion.
