iphone Thread - Part 2

You still paid $50?

I got my $1500 excess data usage waived completely by Three. They kept saying we can only do $100 waiver...then $300 and so on.

i knew you guys would say that, probably the smart way to go, just so difficult getting by with a basic nokia.

Buy a 4, then when the 5 comes out flog it on eBay. You won't believe how much you can sell them even after the announcement.

My iPhone 3GS is dying. I'm not sure it will make it to iPhone 5

Have to go to an Apple shop Genius Bar this weekend.

What' happened to the Telstra AFL app from last year?What's happened to the Super Footy 2011 app? For some strange reason they're still flogging Super Footy 2010!

Apart from a faint screen, I think I have an answer to a new problem that surfaced just a couple days ago. It wouldn't charge via my car charger. When I got home and used AC, it charged fine. I think if your battery is really really dead, the car charger won't charge your phone. I tried to charge my phone in the car today, it had 50% charge, and it started charging fine.

Keen to buy an iPhone 5. Just want to make sure it's worth it!

 

[red+black]

Took my iPhone 3GS to the Genius Bar at Doncaster. Got my screen replaced for free, looks as good as new now. Dude also suggested I try calling Telstra and haggling with them to give me a credit towards any contract fees for cancelling with Three Mobile. Suggested my battery life would improve if the phone's reception wasn't constantly dropping out and didn't have to constantly find a tower.

Are we sure the ip5 is the next model out? I'm trying to hang off till it's out and upgrade my 3GS, but the chick at the Telstra shop today was adamant that it's only gonna be the 4GS (or some minor variation of the ip4). Said the differences were going to be minimal.

EDIT: FFS, any advice about what I can do ATM with an ip3GS seemingly frozen in mid-sync? Last time about a year ago this happened and i tried to just exit out of it, and it almost destroyed my laptop.

Is just frozen on Stage 1 "Backing Up".

 

[red+black]

I'm fairly confident it will be called iPhone 5.

Also fairly sure it will be just a minimal improvement over the iPhone 4.

I think people should get used to getting every 2nd model.

iPhone 3 ---> iPhone 4 ---> iPhone 6
iPhone 3GS --> iPhone 5 --> ...

Watching it on your iPhone would destroy your data usage.

If the rumours are true and the iPhone 5 has double the ram compared to the iPhone 4 and the dual-core A5 processor like the iPad 2 has, then the iPhone 5 is gonna be pretty beastly. A big improvement from the 4.

i4 has more than enough RAM as it is.

i4 has more than enough RAM as it is.

If you're coming from a 3GS (like I am) it'll be a huge step up though.

My contract expires in May. Will definitely be jumping on the i5.

RE: Facebook app

Whenever I try "check in" it just keeps trying to load doing nothing no matter how long I do it, yet for the wife it happens instantly on her iPhone 3. We both have Telstra. Is there a setting I have to change to make it work? Or am I just unlucky?

I've come to the conclusion that my words with friends machine/camera is a shit telephone.

This happened to me the other day, so I just removed it and reinstalled it.

Anyone on here got this....

[YOUTUBE]_h0Hzr3JUrg[/YOUTUBE]

I was at work today a bloke had this case and i must say i was VERY impressed!!

Has its own screen guard built in and a great feeling protective outer silicone case. ATM i am putting up with bumper covers and the stupid stick on screen guards that the bumper cover allways lift's up around the edges letting dust in and after 1 week the screen guard is useless especially when i work in a dusty environment some days . I am getting one of these Otter cases this weekend and they retail for $60 but can be had on Ebay for much cheaper.

Interested to see if anyone has opinions on the case and/or using one etc. The only downside i can see is it is a bit chunky but when i held it it did not add much weight to the phone but did make it that little bit bigger and this may put some people off IMO.

Protects the phone just as well but isnt as Chunky. Dropped it many times and this case has saved me bit cheaper as well i think

Had the same problem, you have to turn location services on for FB in the setting section

Hoping this is the case.

I've got the 3GS, starting to fade, contract up for renewal around May, so hoping the 5 is out in June.

Girl is also ready to get into the IPwn world, I've told her to hold off until mid-May; should at least know whether the 5 is on the horizon by then.

I use it.

Rate it, really solid, have dropped (intentionally thrown) the phone a few times and there's no damage.

However, as my contracts up for renewal around iPhone 5 time, I'll probably go to the Otterbox commuter. As has been said, does almost as good a job on protection, just a little less chunky. The thick one can be a pain if you want to put it in a iphone speaker or something where it's size is too big.
