yup...agreed.

^are you sure you don't mean 2.01? Because all 3G phones come shipped with 2.0

ahhh.. yes you're right it was updated to 2.1.. For some reason I thought it was 1.1 updated to 2.0. But I just checked the version.


But still, Ive had the phone for a few weeks and just in the last 2 days have I started getting dropped calls.

10/3/2008 7:26:38 PM

FYI, Fring is now up on the App Store.

VOIP on the iPhone (Wifi only)

"Ive been having A LOT of dropped calls the past few days. I read somewhere that it was an issue with 3G and that if you turned it off it would fix the dropped calls problem. I just turned off 3G but havent called anyone to see if that actually works. I did upgrade to 2.0 the day I got my phone. Is there a better fix than turning off 3G? edit: I live/work in Cary"

which part of cary? i live in northeast-ish cary and work around here too (on the 40 end of harrison) and i've never had a dropped call - in fact, i've rarely (if ever) seen below 4 bars... you upgraded to 2.1 right? 2.1 DRAMATICALLY improved reception for me...

10/6/2008 12:04:27 PM

^^nice find! Street view would be awesome on the iphone. Although not sure how well it would work on 3G.

Also the toggle on/off for autocomplete/autocorrect is also a nice feature to have on the on-screen keyboard.

10/6/2008 1:30:29 PM

i just want copy/paste

10/6/2008 1:31:14 PM

haha...it would be nice to have but i haven't really 'needed' it and been frustrated for not having it yet.

10/6/2008 1:33:27 PM

still waiting for the push service, personally..... this AIM app is awfully useless until then.....

10/6/2008 4:05:53 PM

copy/paste would be useful every now and then but what I really want is MMS, I can't think of one legit reason why they won't put MMS on this thing other than them just wanting to save face by not admitting that they were wrong for not including it in the first place

10/6/2008 4:21:38 PM

jailbreak it and install swirlymms

10/6/2008 4:32:20 PM

Does anyone here have access to the Apple iPhone Developer site? If so, can they get the beta 2.2 OS and send it to me?

I just cant see spending $100 for developer access...

PS> if you have your student accounts you can sign up free...... So dont complain that you spent the cash and now you are hording the new beta OS.

10/8/2008 6:15:57 PM

anyone use castcatcher? Or any other apps to listen to shoutcast servers? I wanna get my shoutcast server back up to jam out on my iphone.

10/8/2008 8:39:33 PM

i used tversity (on the server) to turn a couple streams into safari-compatible audio streams

10/8/2008 8:54:34 PM

hmm that looks good but they dont have a Linux version yet.

seotaji, I totally agree. I just found it and thought some people might be interested.

10/9/2008 7:39:11 PM

was having a problem with the screen resolution changing on the bottom right of the screen. the screen would freeze anything in that corner that i had for too long, and the spot was slowly but surely getting bigger


so i went over to the apple store. the guy looked at it for a few minutes and he's like do you have everything backed up? i did, so i waited for a little while longer and they replaced the iphone. i was really surprised that they did it and it was so easy.

apple store customer service FTW

10/12/2008 2:39:56 PM

you are surprised that they are honoring your warranty?

that's pretty much why you paid them a bajillion $'s. so your pretty toy will keep working for a year.

I, for one, have never had a problem with Apple's customer service, or the Genius Bar. They have always fixed my problems on the spot, and if they couldn't, they have replaced parts, hardware or entire computers without even a hint if suspicion or resistance, and they have never asked for a restocking fee or anything.

but.... if you look back through this or other Apple threads, you will find people who claim to have other experiences, where Apple refused to replace faulty hardware that was under warranty. I'm usually pretty skeptical of these claims, but i guess it might happen

10/13/2008 12:17:14 AM

Even though I had to pay (but not full price) they swapped out my 3g iphone because the entire screen was shattered without any issues. They said since it was accidental and its not directly covered under warranty I wouldn't have to pay full price for a new unit.

because i'm rather used to crappy customer service and haggling, i was suprised that whatever was the problem was covered.

and they were just really nice and fit me in quickly, when there weren't any available appointments...

Did anyone else get the text today about swapping out your charger? Just curious if it's a pain in the ass to exchange.

10/13/2008 8:14:29 PM

yeah i got the text..not gonna bother, over an hour drive to an apple store

10/13/2008 8:36:47 PM

no, but i would like to. the cap on my usb cable is cracked i wouldn't mind a free replacement

10/13/2008 8:37:10 PM

I got the text a few weeks ago but forgot to do something about it. I thought it said you had to mail it in and not go through the store?

10/13/2008 8:56:31 PM

you can get a new plug sent to you by going to apple.com and filling out a little form.

totally worth it for the lazy among us.

10/13/2008 9:07:29 PM

so if you do the apple.com way, is there a way to get a new one and keep the one you have? I could use a spare plug adapter and I doubt mine will really break off in the wall...

i assume they just charge you if you dont ship yours back?

10/13/2008 11:13:16 PM

yeah, they will charge you. Its in the print details somewhere.

10/14/2008 11:12:40 AM

I just went and swapped mine out at the Crabtree store. If you go, make sure to take your phone with you. They need the serial from it.

10/14/2008 6:51:48 PM

my phone keeps prompting me for a password on my voicemail and I can't get it to stop. Anyone know how to disable it. Yes I tried the general settings to no avail.
