I bought iphone 3G in Jully in Italy. Recently 3 little things appeared under the touchscreen glass that looks like bubbles, very similar to this: http://www.crankystudios.com/images/bubbles.png , http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/wp-content/phoneimages/2008/02/iphone-bubble.jpg and http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3097/2737542958_bab1ecee39.jpg?v=0 .I have warranty and everything but i am from Slovenia and theyve told me that warranty isnt applicable here and that i have to take it to the store where i bought it. The only problem is that i bought it when i was on vacations and i bought it in the very south of Italy so its very far to go for a ride to take iphone there and probably they wouldnt replace it immediately. What should i do?Thanks for everything,Miha iphone Mac OS X (10.5.6)
Hi. My husband bought me an iphone yesterday. (lucky me!) I am trying to access my hotmail account from the iphone. I went into itunes store and bought Mbox to enable me to do that. The problem is Im a dinosaur and dont know what to do next. I hope you will take a deep breath and not call me unflattering names but... do I connect the iphone to the computer now to complete the purchase? What else do I need to do? packard bell Windows XP
I recently upgraded my iphone 3G to 2.2 and about a week later I was getting a error sending message when sending text messages. I can receive text just fine. I have tried restoring using ITunes and even had the ATT store tech swap the SIM card with no results. HELP!!!!!!! I am very upset with ATT and Appple. I know other folks out there are having the same problems and someone out there has a fix.I feel I have a 600 dollar brick. Ron Bak ronbak@earthlink.net Macbook Pro 2.2 Mac OS X (10.5.6)
Ive been having various problems even after restoring from backup multiple times. At the Apple store, I was told to restore and select setup new device instead of restoring from backup, incase my backup was corrupted. The rep told me that iTunes would download fresh copies of the operating software, firmware and all apps. Is this true? At no point during the process did iTunes appear to be downloading anything. I want to make sure I did the most thorough restore possible. Thanks!! iphone 3G 16GB
Does anyone elses phone take forever to update an application? Has anyone else updated an app only have it send your phone into a reset? I just updated Texas Holdem on my phone. After 10 minutes of waiting for the thing to update, I re-synced my phone so it would copy onto my iMac and WOW, a half hour later and the meter hasnt budged. Not to mention that I had to make more the 245mb of memory available to upgrade a 129mb app(according to the app store). Whats that all about?! Please give me your opinions before I get an e-mail from Apple stating how they had to pull this topic from its website. Thanks. 24" Intel Core 2 Duo iMac; 16 Gig Blk iphone 3G Mac OS X (10.5.4)
I was curious if anyone knows if it will be possible for these headphones http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB770G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3NA&mco=MTgwMjc4MQ will work with iphone 3G in any of the next firmware updates. Theyre pretty much identical to the ones that came with the phone with the only addition being the volume control. It would be pretty nice to use those to control the volume to I wouldnt have to take the phone out of my pocket. Now I know that sounds like laziness but with what I do in school with darkroom photography, printmaking, ceramics and stuff like that, my hands can get pretty messy.What I really want to know is if the volume control will work with iphone 3G through firmware updates in the future or if its completely hardware based for the volume control to work.

After having my iphone for about 3 months I have noticed that it has light leaks because the frame doesnt connect with the screen flush on one side. I purchased the phone from a local apple store and I wanted to know if it is still covered under the one year warranty and what is the process I should go about trying to get a new phone?Thanks for your time Windows Vista
So I got my new 3G iphone one week before XMAS and after a couple of days I noticed that: 1. my phone is unresponsive after finishing a call. (requires a reboot occurs at least once a day)2. Apps close all of a sudden when in use. I took my iphone to the apple store last week to the King of Prussia store and I was told that this was occurring because the iphone software was corrupted and that a system restore would fix this. A couple of hours later the same problems kept occurring. I restored my phone two more times at home, but I still kept having the same problems. I also synch my phone daily. I made another appoint for today and a different guy at the genius bar told me that this occurring because my system memory is low and that caused my reboots. He even said that everyone that has an iphone or any smartphone should reboot their phone daily. I was really puzzled and upset that he told me I have to reboot my phone once a day. I have never heard this before and I wanted to know if other people have been told this, or was this guy just full of it. My iphone was replaced and I have not seen this problem occur so far.

What is going on, i cant update my iphone to v2.2 now im getting error 14. I was just at the ATT store and seems there are a few people in line with the same problem.... Are there issues atm Dell Windows Vista
Sorry that was a little vague due to space limitations.. Basically, I got a replacement phone, and the guy at the genius bar said that my data would be restored to it when I sync it. Im a little concerned because sync-ing just got the black data off my phone when I had installed enterprise support months ago. so I thought Id ask if I should be doing anything special for the first sync to get as much info back in the phone as possible. side question: I noticed I have none of my address book despite using my old sim card. Does iphone not store this info on the sim?thanks for any advice. iphone G2 Windows XP 2.2
I was very exciting to hear during todays keynote that downloading from the iTunes store would now be available over the 3G network. But this option only seems to be available with music and not Podcasts. Or am I doing something wrong? Can anyone else download Podcasts over the 3G network?

I have the original iphone. I have two problems, both just happened tonight at the same time. For seemingly no reason just my iphone external top sleep/wake button is not working. I tried powering the phone off and back on. I tried resetting my iphone, and restoring it. I made sure my iphone software is up to date. None of these remedies have fixed the button. The button doesnt look broken, it pushes in and out, it just doesnt work anymore. Second problem is, after I power my iphone off and then back on, the Apple logo screen will continue to flash on and off indefinitely. The only way to get my home screen to appear is to connect my iphone to my computer. Then it wants to sync. After syncing it then asks if I want to power off or cancel. Huh, why does is it doing that? To turn my iphone off I am pressing my Home button down until it shuts off, since I cant power off with the top black button. Is that the reason my phone is having the second problem, because I am powering off with the Home button? Could it be my second problem is not a problem?My iphone 1 year warranty is over. I cant call Apple Care, there is no apple store near me. I need a solution I can do at home myself. Please help. Even if you think the answer is obvious please suggest it to me. Before tonight nothing was wrong with my iphone. It all started after I let my 6 and 7 year old nephews play with Google Maps on my phone for like 10 minutes - supervised. I consider myself to be a pretty Apple tech savvy guy, yet I cant figure out if they broke my iphone somehow, nor can I fix these two problems. Please help!

I recently spoke to s friend who has an iphone 3G and I mentioned how I was jealous because I could not get one due to the fact you have to change your entire plan.They said if you go to the Apple store all you have to do is sign a contract and add the Unlimited Data Package.

I’m annoyed that Apple didn’t make file storing available to begin with (in such a highly sophisticated and versatile device!!!), and I have to spend more money and time on more stuff (i.e. third party apps which require either a wi-fi network -> need to buy router, or a mobile-me account, etc. etc., researching it all, installing it all).Main reason for posting this is not so much becasuse Im looking for answers, but because I hope many many will agree with me and Apple will get the message.I love love love my iphone, but hate hate hate that I cant store PDFs of my business contract, price list, etc. So basic and standard nowadays, I mean, even all of Apples documentation comes in PDF format.Apple, make a software update that allows file storage!

Hi all, had to restart iphone a couple of days ago due to an application crash. Ever since then the phone seems really slow, however after I restarted it came up with the connect to iTunes screen asking me to activate. I force restarted and it came back fine, then the slowness, and now the app store is giving me the us version, apps like pandora are displayed, and everything is in dollars. Ive checked the regional settings under the general tab and they are set to the uk.Anyone have any ideas?? HomeBuilt Windows Vista
Not the typical RF interference you get when around speaks, every call I make with the phone now has clipping or static sound in the ear speaker. If I put on speaker phone it is on there a few times. Wanted to see if anyone else experienced similar, before I have to make a 1-1/2 hour trip to my LOCAL apple store. 16GB 3G iphone G4 15" PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)
after several months of having my iphone, and it breaking, I went in to the apple store to speak to an iphone Genius. The name of his job title, aside from being very arrogant, was far from the truth!!Anyway, he couldnt answer my questions, and suggested i should post them to apple. The iphone either lacks a lot of features which even my first Nokia had, or i just cant find them. Wonder if anyone can help:Forwarding Texts:cant forward a text. This is annoying, as if someone sends me some info in a text i wish to send on, i cant see how to forward, nor how to copy and paste the info into a new txt.Red Button:Wheres the reject call button? If my phone is on the lock screen when it rings, the only option I have is to answer or silence it. Silencing the ringing is no good, as people often hang up before Voicemail kicks in.Snoozing Reminders:if i have a calendar reminder, cant see how you snooze it. Missed loads of appointments and reminders with this one. Very easy to loose the reminders from the screen, and then not see them.There are so many more things that thoroughly disappoint me about this phone - the bluetooth stack, the 3G/GSM implementation, cant change the home screen background from black, cant have your own ringtones - or even set a MP3 song which you have bought on itunes as a ring tone, etc etc.However, these are more annoyances than show stoppers.I hope someone can help with the top three above, or maybe, someone in apple might see this post and suggest to include these rudimentary features that have been present in phones since mobiles went digital in the next software release. Or maybe someone knows a way around these annoyances to make the phone usable, for me, at least. iPhone3G None

Happy new year everyone.I spilt coffee all over the cable that came with my iphone and am loath to plug it back in - in case it upsets the iphone.Is it OK to use the cable and USB adapter that came with my 5th Generation iPod (late 2006)?The exact model is listed below.I really need to be sure this is going to be OK before I plug it in. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#ipodfifth2I just need to be able to charge it until I can get to the store.

I dont know if this is just me or if it is really a problem. I have had this iphone 3g for about 1 week and 2 days. 2 days ago I noticed the sleep / wake button is hard to press and activate the response. It is getting worse every day. Sometimes I have to press it 4 or 5 times before it works. I ask if I should go to my local apple store to ask for a replacement?Thanks to all who help!Jakthebomb HP DV 7t CTO Other OS Windows 7 beta 1 / 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 duo / 3 GB Ram / 320GB + 250GB HDs
A couple of weeks ago the tip of my iphone earphone broke off into the port. I had my iphone in the inside of my coat pocket, I come home, take out the earphone and low and behold the tip became stuck inside of it.My iphone thinks that a set of earphones are constantly plugged in, even tho they are not. Because of this, I have to talk on the phone by either a bluetooth or speaker.About a week ago I went to the Apple store in Manhattan and seeked some help. I didnt have an appointment or anything as I was just touristing around the city and just ran into the Apple store. I was planning on going to my local Apple store sometime after Christmas when I have a few days off and time to take care of it.At the store, an blue shirt genius attempted to pry the piece out with some type of tool to no prevail. He then said to me since the iphone is still covered under warranty, he would be happy to exchange it right then and there. I told him that I didnt want to as I wasnt prepared because I never backed up any of my contacts and such. The plan for me was to go home, backup my iphone data, go to my local Apple store, have them look at it, and if they were unable to fix it, then get a new iphone under warranty.So today I go out to my local Apple store at King of Prussia, PA and the associate and manager there told me that they can not give me an exchange because the tip of the earphone breaking off was due to accidental damage, and accidental damage is not covered by the limited warranty. (I looked over the warranty online after I left and it does say this.) However, how is this accidental damage? It was in my coat pocket comfortably, working fine all the way until I took it out. I asked the associate this and he referred to the roughed up edges on the rounded port to where you put the earphone jack into, and referred to this as accidental damage. BUT...that roughed up edge was caused by an Apple store employee at the 5th avenue Manhattan store as he tried to pull it out with some tool.After some more arguing with the store manager, I ended up not getting a new iphone yet....But he did tell me that I can buy a new one for $299; like I didnt know how much I spent on it in the first place.Another thing that ***** tho is that there is no history of me being at the Manhattan store as I never had an appointment and just walked in. But now there is a history of me going into my local Apple store and not getting a new iphone because of accidental damage, which was caused by an Apple employee. Anyways, what do you all think about this? The manager said it was accidental damage because of the roughed up edges, but those roughed up edges were caused by an Apple employee himself.

This popped up almost a week ago now - last Friday. I compose a text, tap send and it gives me the little progress bar, moves as if its going to send, and then stops about 1/8th to 1/6th of the way and I get a little message where it usually says sending that says Error Sending MessageAll my googling has come up with people experiencing this on jailbroken iPhones or when they have a momentary drop in service (at which point they just hit send again). But I can receive texts just fine. All other operations on the phone are fine - sending/receiving emails, placing/receiving phone calls, etc.There was some mention of a possibly incorrect SMS Service Center Number...? I realize this isnt an AT&T forum, but Im hoping someone out there can help.At the Genius Bar, they said they thought it was an AT&T issue. I went to the AT&T store, where they called the iphone troubleshooting hotline. The iphone Troubleshooting guy didnt know what was going on, and suggested swapping to a new SIM card. So, we tried a new SIM card and we tried someone elses SIM card in my iphone....still nada.Which makes me think its software...? I just restored back to just before Haloween....but the software is still 2.2 - should I downgrade to 2.1?thanks in advance Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.6)
hello, first of all i live in an African Country, the iphone 3G was recently launched by ORANGE here, i purchased one from the Orange store for Christmas and i am experiencing a lot of problems.First of all when i was waiting for my iphone to be activated in the store, the employee said that they were experiencing problems with my iphone 3G, to make a long story short, they replaced the sim card and the phone seemed to work.after about a week of using the phone, ive noticed:-some of my calls are being dropped randomly-the metal frame around the plastic bit hasnt been glued (manufactured) properly, a fraction of a mm of light is emmiting from one side of the phones metal framework-my phone randomly tells me theres no service and then suddenly 10mins later i get full service (without moving the phone, the same happens with my wi-fi)-my phone randomly goes on silent (the ringtone is on the loudest, and the silent button hasnt been activted)Can someone give me advice on what i should do? do i go to ORANGE and ask them to give me a new iphone? what should i tell them exactly?its a first hand phone, i havnt dropped the phone, and yes i have already tried reformatting the phone, and i still have the same problems, and in case your wondering, NO i did not jailbreak my iphone 3G - 8GB iphone 3G - 8GB Mac OS X (10.5.6) Malfunctioning - Replacing
Im a serious amateur cyclist. I have an original iphone and always have it on me while riding. I wasnt planning on upgrading to an iphone 3G, preferring to wait another year, maybe catch the next model. But Id like to update my Garmin GPS for a more modern unit, and I need to know if the iphone 3G GPS + some sort of app store app would suffice for route tracking, distance and time tracking, etc. Or is a combination of an iphone app and the iphone 3G GPS better suited for more casual GPS users -- and Id be better off with a dedicated runner/cyclist GPS device?

Look I understand everything takes an expert but who came up with the bright idea of locking this phone like fort knox? You cannot remove the stupid black front page screen, you cannot remove the stocks application icon from it, you have to listen to a beep sound (or some other lame ones) for text messages alerts, look I know there are experts out ther thinking they did a great job but PEOPLE PLEASE, even the prepay from the 99cent store has customizable display or atleast your rintones for message alerts.... UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHPS dont upgrade, my husband did and it messed up his wifi, im still good Windows Vista
Used iTunes to upgrade iphone 3G from 2.1 to 2.2. iphone had a passcode - the cause of all the problems, I think. Upgrade went well until iphone rebooted, at which point iTunes reported it could not connect to iphone because it is locked with a passcode. iphone presents emergency call interface with picture of USB cable towards an iTunes icon - no passcode prompt.iphone is legal, iTunes/PC is latest.Tried restore via DFU. No joy. After restore, iphone displayed same screen, iTunes now says SIM card is not inserted or SIM PIN is required.Any solution short of going to Apple store?Thanks,Jim Stearns iphone Upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2

What kind of a deal was made with AT&T? For Christmas I received a gift certificate for a long-lusted-after 8GB iphone, took it to the Apple store to collect my present and was told that I was not ready for an upgrade with AT&T. I would have to wait 46 DAYS to activate my beauty! If I would have been a Verizon (or T-Mobile) customer for the past 8 years instead of an AT&T customer, I would be enjoying my iphone today instead of counting the days until February 9. Of course, I could pay the not-ready-for-an-upgrade price of $399 (instead of $199) and have it today, but come on. What can I do?? PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.x)
I recently bought a 3g iphone and just noticed that the screen shifter feature doesnt work every time Im using Itunes. I know that the phone has to be vertical to the ground in order to work. The weird thing is that it works fine say 4 out of 5 times. If I take it to an Apple store can they hook it up to a computer to run a diagnostic test to see if it is faulty? Has anybody else noticed this problem. Thanks in advance. MacBook Mac OS X (10.5.6)
Ive had my iphone 3g for about a month now and Ive just noticed that the screen is peeling around the home button, around the ear speaker, and along the bottom edge of the screen. I was a screen protector on the phone, but I took it off specifically for these photos.Im not sure how to post pictures here so here are the links:http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscn2832largebz0.jpghttp://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscn2831largeiy6.jpgThe phone was brand new phone from my provider (Fido). From the pictures, it looks like there was already some sort of a screen protector on it from the factory. Is this correct/normal? Can it be removed? or should I just bring it to an Apple store and let them deal with it?Thanks for any info.
My girlfriends phone is getting worse. Every time shes on a call the phone starts chirping loud and gives off other weird sounds. To be honest it sounds like Im having a conversation with R2D2.

OK, im about 90% sure theres nothing more I can do to improve my battery life on my iphone 3G, but Im looking for some other peoples input before I go way out of my way to go to the apple store, which is about an hour drive (dont have an address that i could use the mailing method ... so thats not an option)Heres my current setup:Hardware: iphone 3G, running iphone 2.2 OS3G: off- not in a 3G enabled cityWifi: off (on when web surfing at home- not frequent as I use my laptop...)Location services: Off, unless im using Maps to get somewhere (rare)Email: Push is activated on my MobileMe account, turned off my work MS Exchange account entirely (would like to have it on) and my third email is turned off as well. MobileMe: syncs contacts, bookmarks, calendar, and mail. Third Party Apps: a few installed, use is not frequent- maybe 10 min a day average.Bluetooth: off 99% of the time, only on when traveling and using headset.brightness: 25-30% as an attempt to conserve batteryEQ: offI went to this link: http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html and as you can see with the aforementioned statistics Im doing everything to conserve battery, except disabling push.Battery Performance:Usage: 1 hour 34 minutesStandby 7 hours, 38 minutesBattery: just above 20% (not red, but very close to it)The above data was taken after applying all the settings listed above,resetting the phone, then draining the battery completely and fully charging it using the iphone cable and usb wall charger included with the iphone. Received only 2 emails, and 1 text message during the usage time.With these settings my phone made it a full day with out dying, with normal consumer settings (wifi on, location services on but used little, etc) my battery would last about 4-5 hours with the same amount of Usage.Basically, im looking for affirmation so I dont drive way out of my way and wait in line for hours to be told that there is nothing that they can do with my phone..My previous iphone (2G) would last 3-4 days sometimes without being recharged and it had push enabled on 2 email addresses (MM, and MS Exchange) My wife currently uses this phone w/ 2 emails, location services on, and uses 3rd party apps a lot and her phone battery lasts 2 days still..New battery time?-thanks Macbook, MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.6)
While driving today using my iphones iPod via USB on my 2009 Ford Escape the music stopped and I eventually restarted the phone. The car never recognized the iPod again.

I dont know what has changed in the past month, perhaps something in 10.5.6, but if I have my iphone 3G plugged in through my Belkin 7 port USB hubs (one at home, one at work) Ive irregularly ended up with my phone in a corrupt state that requires I restore. The phone works great, has all apps, but has no music and iTunes throws up an error every time it connects, even connecting directly, stating I need to restore the phone so I can no longer sync.It doesnt seem to appear if Im directly connected to my AlMacBook. Needless to say, Im not all that happy with my Belkin hub, but AFAIK there arent higher-quality hubs out there and Im not in the mood to buy a bunch of hubs only to end up with more lemons (Apple, business opportunity! How about 5v isolated power to each USB port? Something Ive not seen yet on a hub. Id love to drive my USB HD directly off the hub but my Belkin doesnt provide reliable power.)Anyways, wondering if other folks are seeing the same problem, or if my iphone is having some odd issue that I should take into the Apple store, or if I should just shut up and plug my phone in directly. :^) iphone 3G 16GB Mac OS X (10.5.6) Aluminum MacBook
Dear Apple,I bought 2 iPhones (16GB) from AT&T store while activating new service with them. After about a month or so, I was so frustrated* (see all reason listed at the end) with AT&T service that I decided to cancel it and go back to T-mobile. Overall I paid over $1200 for the two iPhones (including tax, cancellation fees, first month usage fee etc.).Now when I was trying to go back to T-mobile, to my surprise the iphone wont work! I cannot believe that I just spent $1200 on 2 shiny paper weights (I cant even get past the activation stage because I did a firmware upgrade procedure on my iphone, iTunes wont sync because it complains that my t-mobile sim was not valid). I called AT&T first and asked them to unlock my phone. They were pretty hesitant to work with me since I had already canceled my account with them. But eventually the customer rep told me that they have no control over the iPhones sim lock and advised me to call Apple. I called apple and the customer rep just plainly refused to unlock because they said it was not possible.I ask for your help. What do I do with the now defunct 2x $600 devices ?

http://store.apple.com/us/product/TS504?mco=MTM4OTISo shopping around for cases and accesories for my 3G, I saw this. A friend who also has 3G had an Apple store employee install his. Am I better off ordering it online and doing it myself or just going to the Apple store, buy it there, and have them do it?My main concern are the airbubbles that more than likely get stuck in there as Ive had w/ similar products. iphone 3G Other OS
Hi, I have an iphone 3G thats been fine til today. When I use the phone, I cant hear anything. The caller, however, can hear me. The speaker in the phone is fine; I can play songs and hear them fine over the phones speaker. The problem seems to be only when I use the actual phone. When I press speakerphone during a call nothing happens then either. Its as though the act of using the device as a phone kills the speaker. As soon as I hang up the call, I can hear the speaker again.Ive been through the troubleshooting tips... Turned off bluetooth, use earphone jack to make sure no dirt is built up in the headphone jack...(Its a clean iphone!) Ive done the two-fingered reset -- all to no avail. All the audio works except the telephone and even though the call completes - and the person on the other end can hear me - I cant hear a thing. Theres no sound at all... no hiss, nothing, when the phone is in use.Apart from the phone/audio anomaly, everything else is working fine. Have I done something stupid? (Yes, Ive tried cutting the volume up and no, it doesnt say headphone when I do) I rarely use a bluetooth headset (bluetooths now off anyway) and havent had my phone connected to anything other than my MBP to charge the battery. The area I live in doesnt support 3G, so thats turned off to save battery power.And if no one might know of a cure, where the heck do I get my phone fixed? I bought it at an AT&T store... will they take care of it if necessary? Online, it appears that Apple will let me see if its under warranty by keying in my phones serial number (and it is!) but then stops there... Wouldnt it be great if they had a link from that warranty status page to either an 800 number or some kind of email tech support... or anything useful? I would imagine the need for support is the #1 reason people look to see if they have time left on their warranty. Its almost as if Apple thinks the iphone is infallible and will never need service because they sure dont like to tell you how they go about fixing one if need be.Sorry - rant over. Im just glad I kept my land line. Any help or advice on where I might get service - assuming its not something silly Ive done that I can fix - would be greatly appreciated. Oh - Im on version 2.2 of iphone software, I think. Thanks very much for any help! MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.5.2)
Pretty much what it says in the subject. Doesnt matter whether I sync or transfer purchases, the only way to get iTunes to contain the same apps as the phone is to download them again through the iTunes store. Which defeats the object I think.Is there any way to fix this? Windows XP Pro
