IPhone 4S Overheating
My iphone 4s overheated today and practically burned my hand. Is this related to their battery problem? This is ridiculous!! Am I going to have to sue Apple for burning my hand? What happened to their quality control?
How could they release a new phone like this with some many problems?
Bluetooth Issues: Callers can't hear me -- but I hear them
Apple hasn't acknowledged this issue yet but has been a big problem for me. Sometimes, I hear other party but they don't hear me. This always happens when I use dialpad on my car. If I use SIRI to make call, doesn't happen. Some people have commented that this seems to be a combination of proximity sensor and mic switching which could be both hardware and/or software issues.
Also,using Bluetooth, metallic distorted sound sometimes.
Anyway else having these problems? Does ...
Apple finally admits to IPhone4s Battery Problems

Very poor Battery Life Iphone 4S
Just got my new Iphone 4s. Great phone BUT very very poor battery life. How do I fix this? Certain blogs are saying it is a bug or needed software fix. What do you think???? Thanks very much
Re: Loading Time for Applications
Thanks Epic for your thoughtful explanation. Let me clarify for you a few questions you had for me.
1. I have a Blackberry Storm 2 with the latest software(firmware) upgrade
2. I have Evdo revA
3. I was referring to the Yahoo site -- www.yahoo.com.
My question in general is why do applications load up so quickly (even in marginal cell site areas) whereas browsers need a stronger cell site area and load up much slower?
Thank you
Loading Time for Applications
1.Could someone please explain to me why applications load so fast (even in a poor cell cite area) while my browser (yahoo) takes much longer to load onto my blackberry? Why are they different?
2. Also, could someone recommend the BEST and most USEFUL applications they have found for their Blackberry? I am especially interested in news, reading magazines,sports, and locating my car in a parking lot.
Thank you very much and Happy New Year to all!!

Re: Difficulty shutting off Storm 2
Excellent idea Cellstudent. I tried it this way and it works fine. I don't know why it's so difficult pushing the on/off button on top of the phone.
Re: Difficulty shutting off Storm 2
In the evening before I go to sleep, there is no reason to keep it on all night long. So I want to shut it down after plugging it into its charger. Why does it take so long to shut down?
Difficulty shutting off Storm 2

Also, hellow to Hawk and Storm Survivor
Re: Storm 9550 OS 5.0.0.607 Now official on Verizon
I've known Hawkeye for sometime now. He is great and very knowlegeable!!! What specific apps do you find worthwhile downloading and that work great?
Do you really think anyone really knows when, and even if the IPhone is coming to Verizon? I don't know when the exclusive contract between AT&T and Apple is up but until it is, its not going to happen. I think the Storm 2 with this new upgrade is awesome as you do; except, I wish ...
Re: Storm 9550 OS 5.0.0.607 Now official on Verizon
Thank you very much Stormsurvivor. Your points have been very informative and well articulated. I will study them very closely. Thanks for taking the time. By the way, how do you know so much. Do you work for Verizon? Also, when is Verizon getting the I Phone, if ever? Rumors, Rumors, Rumors.........

Having trouble setting up Storm 2 with Wi-Fi
Has anyone had trouble setting up their wifi? Having trouble with setting up at my home wireless internet service and also with wifi at public places. Do you use the manual method or automatic? What if internet is password protected?
Re: How could the OS affect the Reception
Hawk:
I don't see how in the world the OS can ever affect the reception? OS is software -- antenna, reception, etc. is hardware. I have done side by side comparisons with Storm 1 & 2 and 2 definitely has worse reception. This to me is a huge flaw. How could RIM ever compromise reception???? This is one of the most important components of a cell PHONE!!! First and foremost, it needs to operate as a PHONE!!!
Re: Thanks Rich!
Good morning Hawk:
Just got this new Storm and like the increased speed, and enhancements. However, the reception has now become inferior to the Storm 1. Doesn't have as many bars of reception calling from the same location. I know, I've been testing it. I wonder if they had to reduce the antenna size because of WiFi? If so, how stupid. Reception is one of the most important aspects of a phone. To sacrifice because of Wifi that most people ...
Re: OS 5.0.0.154 has Leaked, dribbled, or something...
Good afternoon Hawk:
What do you know about the new Storm 2? Worth waiting for? When will it be out? The on-line demos look great. Wifi, faster, less buggy, etc.
But what exactly are the improvement? Will it be easier and faster and less painful to the thumbs to send e-mail, BBMs, etc.? Better than the I-phone 3G?
Thanks Hawk. You are the only person that knows what the hell he's talking about on these forums... so I pay close attention ...
Re: RIM/Verizon firmware update delay due to Storm 2 coming?
Thanks Hawk. You always come through with great responses and insights to what is really going on.
Re: RIM/Verizon firmware update delay due to Storm 2 coming?
Thanks HawkeyeOC for your response. I read the Crackberry article but if .141 failed, then why don't they use some of the earlier so-called updates that came out after .075 and use those? From my reading, some of those updates are excellent and work well. This whole thing makes no sense. Why doesn't RIM or Blackberry respond with an explanation? Do they feel they don't owe the public who enriches their bank accounts an explanation? If they would just ...
RIM/Verizon firmware update delay due to Storm 2 coming?
Are RIM and Verizon purposely procrastinating their necessary firmware update because they don't want to put the money and time into it since they are coming out with a new Storm 2 with new software? Is it all about MONEY??? GREED????
Are they going to forget and abandon all their loyal customers who lined their pockets with gobs of money who purchased the Blackberry Storm 1??? Is that what this ridiculous delay is all about? Do we just need to ...
Re: How much longer must I suffer waiting for Verizon firmware update?

Thanks so much for your insights. They are great, informative, and you really took my posting seriously and professionally. Much appreciated
and I will continue to read your takes on this software upgrade delay issue everyday on this forum.
I suppose all of us suffering together helps take a little bit off of our suffering. By the way, if there are any Verizon or RIM people in the know out there, please inform us ...
How much longer must I suffer waiting for Verizon firmware update?
Why is Verizon and RIM continuing to make everyone suffer waiting with a BlackBerry Storm with numerous software problems? It has been around 5 months now. What is going on? Who's fault is this? RIMs or Verizons or both?
Are they aware that the risktakers are downloading newer versions off of Crackberry? Do they care? Who keeps leaking these non-supported updates? Why do they do this? What's in it for them? I'm going to keep waiting since I don't want ...
Re: VERIZON OWES US ONE!!
OK I'll consider downloading an unauthorized upgrade. But first, I have a few questions:
1. Does Blackberry Rim in Motion Company know about these non-supported downloads?
2. Who actually leaks them?
3. Are these leakers techies who work for RIM?
4. Is Verizon aware of these non-supported downloads?
5. Do they give a damn?
6. How do you know it won't screw up my current .75 operating system?
7. Does these bootleg downloads carry viruses with them?
8. If I download a bootleg download, will it void ...
Re: VERIZON OWES US ONE!!
I wouldn't dare download any software unless it is approved by Verizon. I don't want to deal with messing up my existing operating system or getting viruses. I'll just keep on waiting. No other choice. Very frustrated...

Re: New Verizon Approved Software Upgrade???
Thanks Hawkeye OC for responding;however, I would never install a non-approved Verizon bootleg upgrade. I only want to install a Verizon approved upgrade but I don't know why RIM and Verizon are waiting so long to come out with it.
New Verizon Approved Software Upgrade???
Does anyone know when the new software will be available for download? I'm sick and tired of waiting and I'm tired of Version 4.7.075.
Re: I have the storm. Considering iphone due to Verizon lack of support
To HawkeyeOC:
You seem to know more than anyone else on this forum -- so here are a few questions for the master:
1. When is Verizon coming out with the newest Verizon supported software upgrade? I'm sick and tired of 4.7.075.
2. Curves may be rock solid phones but I have 2 of them and their is audio problems. When I speak to people, they hear my words but my sound is muffled. Same issue on Storm but a little better. ...
Re: New Software Available Yet????
Hawkeye:
How do you know all this? Do you work for either Verizon or RIM? I read all your threads and you seem not only to be very active on this website; but also, very knowledgeable. What do you do for a living?
Thanks....
Re: New Software Available Yet????
HawkeyeOC:
I wouldn't dare download an unauthorized non-supported Verizon upgrade. I don't need more problems than the problems I already have. Thanks anyway Hawkeye. Appreciate your quick response. Everyday I click on Windows Update in the phone but no upgrades yet it says. Oh, well, I guess I just have to be patient which isn't easy for me.
New Software Available Yet????
Does anybody know when the next software upgrade will be available? I'm running 4.7.075 which still needs alot of improvements and tweaks. Thank you.....
Does anyone know when the next Verizon approved software upgrade will be coming out?
