McPhee Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 I just did, so I guess that's a yes (unless iPhone 4 is different to the 3G). Heck, install the right program and you can download everything over 3G if you feel like it.
Daft Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Ah, right. My friend said that was the one downside. Is it hard to do? Can anything go wrong etc?
Charlie Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Ah, right. My friend said that was the one downside. Is it hard to do? Can anything go wrong etc? The iPhone 4 can't currently be jailbroken. I think all the other models can though. It's really easy to do, download the software and follow the instructions. It just involves holding buttons down for a certain amount of time (it's got countdowns etc). As all its doing is modifying software you can just restore it to its original state if anything untoward happens.
Shorty Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 You could brick it if you're really dumb. Doesn't do anything to the warranty because you can easily restore it to factory settings.
Daft Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Ah, cool. Is it possible to make a new folder/album for photos on the phone?
Eddage Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Ah, cool. Is it possible to make a new folder/album for photos on the phone? Not as standard no (probably can by jailbreaking not sure though). Clearly one of the most stupidly overlooked features... The only way to do it is on the computer, then syncing - which is shit.
Daft Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) How just amazingly weird. Does everyone charge their phone every night? Is that going to bugger the battery up? My old phone I charged every other night. Although I guess I didn't listen to music on it. Edit: Is there a way to sync Facebook profile photos to contacts?!? Edited July 11, 2010 by Daft
That Guy Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Not as standard no (probably can by jailbreaking not sure though). Clearly one of the most stupidly overlooked features... The only way to do it is on the computer, then syncing - which is shit. I think I said ages ago about how ridiculous that was. It still utterly amazes me that your Mail to do list on your Mac doesn't sync to the phone. I mean what?! I even remember at a keynote they opened notes and they had 'to do' with a list of things, and I just thought why the hell haven't you just made it part of the app for god sake? How just amazingly weird. Does everyone charge their phone every night? Is that going to bugger the battery up? My old phone I charged every other night. Although I guess I didn't listen to music on it. Edit: Is there a way to sync Facebook profile photos to contacts?!? I charge mine every night, and had no problems for the last 2 and a half years. It will stop charging once it gets to 100% so won't do anything to the battery. I think there is a way to sync Facebook photos to contacts using the Facebook app, not sure how though but I did do it once upon a time. It's not an automatic thing though.
Daft Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Bump, but I just want to say I love this phone to death.
McPhee Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/information/free-iphone-4-case-for-death-grip-sufferers/ We were all really excited about the launch of iPhone 4, but like most people that queued up to get their hands on one we were extremely disappointed to find that there is a problem with signal reception when you hold the phone in a certain way. Apple have acknowledged that there is something wrong are being a little slow to get a fix in place. Their advice is to hold the phone in a different way or use an iPhone 4 Case. At Mobile Fun we want everyone to be able to use their iPhone 4 without any worries over signal, so we’re doing what Apple won’t do and giving you a free case for your iPhone 4 to help resolve the signal loss issues. Seems like a decent offer, £2.50 inc. P&P for an iPhone 4 case.
Daft Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I've got to be honest (that case is minging, btw) I have no problem with the signal... I managed to drop 2/3 bars when I held my fingers all the way round but otherwise, no problem at all. I guess there must be issues because there's no smoke without fire but I wouldn't have noticed had it not been for the frenzy.
Shorty Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Same here, I can force a bar to drop... maybe... I can't be sure it isn't just fluctuating like phone signals sporadically do because sometimes it goes back up again. If I hadn't read about the phone signal thing, I never would've noticed it.
Guy Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Myself and a work friend were holding onto mine and couldn't get the signal to drop at all.
That Guy Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Mine does if I put my finger over the bottom left line. It pretty much completely drops to one bar. Not great but the slightest change in how I hold the phone has cured the problem.
Raining_again Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 It's almost like a new form of elitism, you have to have the right hands or you don't qualify for an iphone 4 =P
Daft Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 I don't get how the issue is caused exactly. Is it left handed people with the problem? ...because they're evil, anyway.
That Guy Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Lol I think it's just people who hold the phone in a way that covers that black line on the left. But it also has to be in an area that isn't in perfect signal. So if you were standing where I am, your signal would probably drop about as much.
Daft Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Apple are holding a press conference tomorrow at 10am...West side time... Also iOS 4.10 is with Devs.
david.dakota Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Apple are holding a press conference tomorrow at 10am...West side time... Also iOS 4.10 is with Devs. Odds are high for a recall. To not recall would be embarassing, to recall would be embarassing. Lets hope that Jobs doesn't give more tuition on how to hold a phone.
Daft Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 If I was apple I'd offer the bumpers to everyone for free. Waaaaay cheaper than a recall.
Shorty Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Recall = pain. It's stupid not to accept the recall in case it ever becomes an issue for you, but accepting the recall means being phoneless for how long? -_-
Emasher Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Hopefully we see a fix for the "Battery Vampire" problem.
david.dakota Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Whatevers said tomorrow, it will be embarrassing for Apple. They'll either look like they either rushed iPhone 4 and failed to test it properly - or they thought the fanboys would buy any old toot.
dazzybee Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 I'm glad my insurance was delayed. Hopefully the problem will be sorted by the time I get mine!
