Hello everyone!
Ive got the strangest problem with my iPhone 3Gs when it comes to WIFI.
I have a linksys WIFI router at home. Everything worked fine:
Wireless internet on my PC (sorry, but thats about to change), my macbook pro and iPhone 3Gs.
One day, I couldnt get WIFI anymore on my iPhone. It started before OS4 (Im now on OS4 and the problem remains).
Thing is that my internet works fine on both PC and macbook! When I select the wifi network on my iPhone and enter the password it always says: no connection possible with network.
I re-installed everything and did the usual stuff as resetting wifi settings on my phone, even resettign my router.
Now, the strangest part of all is that the wifi on my iPhone works anywhere else!!! At work, neighbours, ...
If there is a magician around here...

While a long shot, try changing the channel your router uses. It may just be there is interference on that channel in your home (from appliances, cordless phones, neighbors on same channel etc) and while yes your computer works fine with it, it also has a better (stronger) card.
Who knows, if this is the issue, your computer may browse faster due to cleaner signal.

I have been informed by ElementCASE, you will be able to add your own engraving to there product later on down the line.
I would like this product if it has the same bottom as the Apple Bumper as in has 3 holes in the bottom(1 for the speaker, mic and charger) rather then one big hole. also the removal of the logo which i take it will happen when they allow us to engrave own logos or name in.
I am sure you have all seen this case befor. Has anyone on here received this case yet from the 1st pre-order?

i thought the same costs a lot, if it had what i wanted (3 holes in the bottom and personal engraving) and inc the carbon back at $70. I would happy pay for it.
Also would be nice if they sold the color parts separate. so u can chop and change. without having to buy the full thing again. I am guessing they will do this at some point if the product takes off. Or I can just take a spray can to it

I dont have or use any docks yet. does anyone know if there is a dock extender cable or socket? i am guessing there is some where out there.
sins Steve Jobs is saying the iphone 4 needs a bumper for it to work do you think he will release a dock that is compatible with the apple iphone case?

I resold my iphone 4 to a buyer, and never turned on and activated the phone. When my buyer recieved it, he claims that he cannot activate the phone unless he has my billing zip code and last 4 digits of my social security number.
I have no reason to distrust this buyer, but this baffels me.
When I asked Apple if the phone being sent to me was locked to me personally, they assured me that it was not, and it would only be locked to a phone number after activation.
Has anyone else encountered an issue like this? How can I instruct my buyer to activate his iphone 4?

Did the buyer try his own last 4 and billing zip?

A couple of eBay buyers have addressed the same issue here. We used an upgrade on my daughters line for my oldest son and she got his 3GS. We had to activate it at the Apple Store with her number and then walkmto the AT&T store to get a new sim for both the I4 and the 3GS.

Unjfourtunatally, my buyer is not from the US, so he has no social security number or billing zip code. Apple has previously told me that an international buyer would possibly need to jailbreak a US iphone, but my buyer insists he is unable to begin the jailbreaking process until after the phone is activated

So, is this information imprinted on the phone, or on the sim card? Would this be different if he used a generic sim card instead?

All 3rd party apps on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and will or should be as long as you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. With this selected, after downloading an app with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so.
You can re-download an app with iTunes on your computer or with your iPhone and you wont be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchased the app originally.
Check under Reinstalling the application with this link.

Im not very technical-minded and Ive tried to research this on the internet, but there are a load of terms I dont understand, and Im hoping a kind person on here could explain something to me in laymans terms..
My boyfriend has an iPhone 4, and a hotmail account. Hes had this email account from the very beginning, and refuses to get rid of it, but it doesnt work beautifully with the phone like my macmail does, and he has to go into his emails to find out if theres a new one, and also if he deletes an email on his phone, it doesnt delete on his hotmail account on the computer.
I have read something about gmail letting you forward messages from a hotmail account, does anyone know about this? Im assuming this or changing email addresses is the only option to sort this?
Thanks,
Amy

The problem your boyfriend is experiencing is the way POP mail accounts work(Hotmail is a POP mail account). POP is the oldest mail protocol and was designed to check mail on ONE computer or device. It cannot keep mail synced if checked on multiple devices. To keep mail in sync on multiple devices, you need an IMAP mail account. Hotmail cannot be currently setup as an IMAP account. Your boyfriend could get a Gmail account(free), set that up as IMAP(you have a choice of POP or IMAP), then forward all of his Hotmail email to the Gmail account. Pretty simple & painless. Another alternative is to get this app from the app store:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mboxmail-hotmail-with-push/id292591480?mt=8
It turns Hotmail into a fake IMAP account & works quite well.
