Charlie Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 I used to have O2 Simplicity £20 / month on my old 3G. If you're with O2 you just need to go to the upgrade section of the website and select Simplicity and it'll automatically change to that at the end of your contract. No need for a new SIM card or anything. Also O2 will also unlock your iPhone for free if you want to move to a different network. If you're not on O2 then I've got no idea. http://shop.o2.co.uk/tariffs/simplicity/iphone/1_month
Shorty Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Ah yeah... slight problem, I don't really want to be with O2. I need to change the name on the contract, but they won't let me. So I'm going to get a PAC and move to a new provider under the right name. Then if I want, I can move back one or two months down the line (if on PAYG/rolling).
McPhee Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 O2 Simplicity for iPhone isn't unlimited Internet anymore anyway, it's 500MB (and up, depending how much you're willing to spend every month). I've just come off Vodafone's iPhone tariff. For £20/month you get 600 minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB Internet and 1GB BT Openzone WiFi. Or Three do similar tariffs. GiffGaff are the only ones still offering unlimited Internet AFAIK.
Nintendohnut Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 try tesco mobile. That's who I'm going for when I get an iphone. You can get sim only deals which are pretty cheap but sadly there is no unlimited data. Still, do you really need more than 1GB? It's also good that it's a 1 month rolling contract so you can drop out whenever you like. I don't know, it's up to you but here are the sim only deals anyway: Click I'll be getting my iPhone on a 12 month contract from tesco soon, they seem to be the cheapest deal for an iphone considering I don't have upgrade options and I just hate vodafone.
dazzybee Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Okay. On my iPhone 3G when I listened to a podcast on it and then synched with my computer, it deleted it from my imac (as I'd deleted it from my phone and it seemed to know). I now have an iPhone 4 and it just adds all the podcasts back onto y iphone (I have autosync all podcasts)...It's infuriating!! Can anyone please help?! Anyone help?!?!
Nintendohnut Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 Just... delete the podcasts from your computer properly? Or even better, just deselect 'sync all podcasts automatically' and just select the ones you want when syncing.
dazzybee Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 But it used to automatically delete them on my imac if id listened on the iPhone, and is obviously quicker because of it I don't listen to them on my imac, I just have to use that to get them! Boo!!
dazzybee Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 So the new update came out and it has a really annoying change. It makes a sound when you SEND messages... It's really frustrating and can't seem to see how ti turn it off. I've turned off all sounds and looked in MESSAGES. Anyone know any help>!
Shorty Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 My iPhones have always made a sound when you send messages.... Just click it onto vibrate when sending?
Charlie Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 My iPhones have always made a sound when you send messages.... Just click it onto vibrate when sending? Mine have always made a sound too...
dazzybee Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Really, mine has only done it since the update... Weird. Why wouldn't they put an option to turn it off?!
Nintendohnut Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 They also changed the font in the Notes app. How extremely odd.
McPhee Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 They also changed the lock switch on the iPad to a mute switch. Apple have lost the plot with this one...
Charlie Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 They also changed the lock switch on the iPad to a mute switch. Apple have lost the plot with this one... That doesn't matter too much as the lock switch is now a software 'button' as it is on the iPhone. Having a hardware mute switch is more handy than having a hardware lock switch. Maybe not so much on the iPad but on the iPhone you can easily do it in your pocket or something if you realise it isn't on silent.
Will Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 On the iPad I'd much rather have it as a rotation lock though. Hopefully I'll get a new computer at the weekend and I'll be able to get everything updated to the new OS.

Having a hardware mute switch is more handy than having a hardware lock switch. Maybe not so much on the iPad but on the iPhone you can easily do it in your pocket or something if you realise it isn't on silent. It matters enough to me that I'll Jailbreak just to fix it. Double tapping the home button, scrolling left, hitting the lock button and then tapping back on to the app is just awkward and long winded for something that's used regularly and that used to be simple. It turns out the switch ain't actually a mute switch. Found out today when I tried using it as one. All it does is turn off the non-existent ringer and audible alerts (push, email), all other audio will continue to play. Useful. Really useful. Thanks Apple. Edited November 24, 2010 by McPhee
flameboy Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 ipod question here but its still iOS4 right? Just got my new 4th gen 8GB ipod touch but how come when I plug into itunes it says its capacity is only 6.5GB is there really 1.5GB of stuff OS/firmware etc...on there already?!
ReZourceman Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Par for the course with any such device. Except any other device usually has expandable memory, so its less of a problem.
Caris Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 You think your Nokia N900 or whatever is better than an iPhone though, so eveything you post is invalid.
flameboy Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 You think your Nokia N900 or whatever is better than an iPhone though, so eveything you post is invalid. haha yeah....god I had a n900 for all of 3 months what a waste of great tech! Now I have the Blackberry and iPod Touch combo!
Shorty Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Except any other device usually has expandable memory, so its less of a problem. But whatever size flash card you buy, you can put it in your computer and say "hey, this is 3.whatever GB instead of 4GB". It's just marketing jargon, the difference between a Gibibyte and a Gigabyte used to trick/piss off consumers.
Charlie Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 So I got an iPad. I know I used to berate them saying I couldn't think of a decent use for them but I love it already and have inly had it since yesterday! It's not going to replace my laptop but just for casual browsing in bed or in the living room when I've been in the library all day on the laptop it is perfect. 'Friendly' is a great iPad facebook which has everything I need, although push notifications for chat would be good. It's also going tobe great for the business as the battery life is fantastic, can take it out with me all day and not worry about the battery dying on me. Actually getting used to typing on it too (using it now) and can go pretty quickly already. Got a case on it's way so I'll be able to take it out and about. Splashed out on a decent one which is leather and can hold it at various angles both landscape and portrait so I can easily type and also watch films etc whilst travelling. £405 for the 16gb 3G & WiFi I think using the deal on hotdealsuk for viking direct. 15% off and 8% cash back from Topcashback.

Part of it is the difference between GB and GiB. Storage is sold in GB, Operating Systems work in GiB, the difference between the two being about 7% (or roughly half of your "missing" storage). The rest has gone to formatting and the OS.

Still bit of con to advertise things as something they aren't.... Not to say apple are the only ones...just annoying I'd made playlists etc... worked out how many podcasts, apps I would get on for my 8GB only to find myself needing to rethink!
