iphone Thread - Part 2

Does anyone know if the new ESPN Radio 3.0 app works in Australia?

 

[WALL-e]

Keep getting the error message 'this accessory is not optimized for this iPhone'

This came out of nowhere and won't go away. I've done everything short of resettingt he phone. Anyone else had this issue?

 

[Team Mo']

Yep I'm getting it like crazy. You found a solution at all?

 

[FIGJAM]

What are you plugging it into?

If it's a standard charger, then you have cause for concern.

If it's a music player and the like, the thing's just telling you there may be interference.

I got the 'accessory not optimised for iphone' message heaps after a recent software upgrade, I think its just Apple giving you a big fuck you for not buying overpriced genuine Apple chargers.

My phone seems to be getting used to the charger I got though ($4 (or was it $2) from the reject shop and stands the phone up on my bed side table) and does it less now.

 

[WALL-e]

It's gone away..... stopped today after 2 days of it.

I did spill a drink on my leg near my pocket Sat night....but it's in a case an all. Either way it's stopped, and I did nothing to make it stop.

 

[Team Mo']

Yep mine's stopped. I told it to using my brain and it hasn't been back.

Mine did the same when I bought a new charger. Went away after a week or so, now it pops up maybe once a month or so. Hasn't seemed to affect performance so am just ignoring it.

Where I live my wifi reception is so bad I keep getting a big E next to my carrier network

 

[Hawks92]

What does the E mean? Sorry for the noob question, i get it rarely but not for long

 

[sblack]

Edge. Slower than 3G, faster than GPRS (the 'o')

If you're on Three Mobile and it's not showing 3G, don't surf the web. You'll get charged extra.

 

[King Elvis]

I turn 3G off while I'm at home, get better reception without it; turn it back on when I go out.

What about if you turn 3g off and surf the web while away from wifi?

 

[Prem87]

Anyone know of any apps that can turn off your computer or increase/decrease volume?

 

[Juddy88]

Can the Iphone 4 be synced/backed up with the passcode lock on? Ie; can someone else do it from their comp if they don't have the passcode?

Smashed screen?

 

[King Elvis]

Should be an easy fix mate; ~$75 if your lucky.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Anyone know of a place in the CBD (Melb) that can fix on the spot for as cheap as possible?

 

[Speck]

I've found for even physical damage taking it to the Apple store and admitting you dropped it or whatever they will usually replace it free of charge.

Twice (within 2 weeks) my sister smashed her screen, took it to the Apple store and after initially saying its $250 or whatever they came back and said we will look after you this time.

 

[King Elvis]

Yup.

Guy at work dropped his in a puddle; I rang Apple, told them exactly what had happened, they told me to send it back and they'd replace it for ~$236.

But you should be able to get a screen replacement much cheaper than that.

Is this only if you're iphone is contracted?

 

[King Elvis]

Nope.

Just be aware, they don't send you a brand new phone; just a refurb'd one.

Cheers fellas.
