Hi There, Its not unknown for the compasses to have issues. Things that affect the compass is using it near anything magnetic or in cars. Just to make sure, its not in a case with a magetic closure? Are you using magnetic north or true north? Could that be responsible for the difference in direction?

Hi, no its out of its case, and both the i4 and 3gs(with iOS4) are next to each other on a desk, both set to true north. The 3gs shows the correct direction, checked with reference to a map, but Im about 30 degrees out.

Another iOS4 bug. Lots of folks are having problems. I never use my compass, but took a look just now. Had interference twice in two minutes.
Arrow pointed in a direction I was fairly certain was not North. Rotated the phone and North changed to a different direction that semed correct. My phone will not give me a consistent direction for North.
Im running 4 on a 3GS.

I just received a 35th week build i4 32GB and it has a small gap between metal and black plastic glass edge surround. I think this is a crap-shoot to get a flawless iPhone 4. You could get one without a gap and a bad screen, etc. I did, this is my 4th iPhone 4 so far.

were you able to get entirely new ones each time, or did you have to settle for the plain black box.
i was told that i could do a swap for a new phone as long as its within the 30 days.

Per the written warranty, an exchange under warranty will be a new or refurbished iPhone with no way to tell the difference. An exchange under warranty is called a service unit, which is provided in a plain box regardless if new or refurbished with the iPhone only since only the iPhone needs to exchanged - not everything included in the retail box.
You arent settling for anything. The exchange remains under the same warranty period as the original purchase.
You can return an iPhone for payment credit within 30 days of the purchase date less a 10% restocking fee. All package contents must be returned to the store where the iPhone was purchased. This is not an exchange under warranty.

Well i was told that i could go to the register and tell them i want to swap my phone for an entirely new one with the box and accessories included, as long as i have the receipt and what not, and within 30 days. The genius explained this to me.

You can as already provided along with a 10% restocking fee deducted from the credit. This is not an exchange under warranty.

Has anyone else received their OFFICIAL carrier unlock yet through iTunes?
Please respond if you have.

Is this unlock for the original iPhone or for the 3G?
Good Luck keep us posted.

This is for the iPhone 3G.
I thought it came in when there there was an update in iTunes today. But all I can tell it has done is change my carrier name from lowercase to uppercase in the title bar.

Who did you request your Unlock through and what did you say? I have been turned down for the same request several times. I dont care about having a contract - I just want to be able to use my phone with other Sim cards (carriers) when I am out of the country.
Thanks

Was this with AT&T, or an outside-US carrier?
Does anyone know what AT&Ts rules are on unlocks? I seem to recall people said if your account was paid up for about six months they might consider an unlock? Is that true? My understanding is that one would still be bound to ones two-year contract (or early-termination fee), but that one would be able to insert pay-as-you-go SIMs when traveling internationally to avoid going through AT&Ts absurdly high international plan rates. Is this the case?

On the phone to an Apple employee the other day and he assured me that folder syncing can be done.
However when I received my advanced replacement phone today and restored from back up....

Yeah the most basic of things are always missing. When OS# came out it did not remember app page locations either but now it does. Annoying is what this is.

I am having the same problem. I would appreciate someone from Apple adding to this thread to tell us whether this glitch is known and a fix is in the works.

I havent restored from a backup, but I have 8 folders with an average of 4 apps per folder and I do not loose the setup when I sync. Did you build the folders on the phone or in iTunes? If you built them on the phone, I did read elsewhere that folks were having a problem, but when set up in iTunes all worked ok.

The fact that folders are not restored is amazing. Imagine if you used backup software on your computer, and found on a restore that although you had all your files, there were all in just one big folder. Or that when you moved iTunes onto a new computer, you lost all your playlists.
I have 100s of apps, and 80+ folders. When I got a replacement iP4, I learned that I would have to spend another 5 hours to recreate the organization that Apple so highly touts, but cant even backup/restore correctly
