Don't believe everything you've read

I work in the wireless industry, and the first thing that jumps out about this article is the fact that iphone4 is like any other Apple product, closed...meaning you cannot access the interior of the phone. There isn't a micro SIM card slot accessible without tearing the phone apart. The second thing is T-Mobile's network...HSPA+ isn't 4G, it's 3G on Steroids. Currently there are 2 types of iphone4's on the market, one that is sold by ATT and runs off their GSM, and one that is sold by Verizon and operates on CDMA. If T-Mobile had anything to do with developing any type of software that would allow a competitors devices to function on their network don't you think it would be all over the news and in courtrooms across America? You can't...

Huh?

The GSM iPhone 4 most certainly has an accessible SIM card slot. It's on the side. Look at one.

There are plenty of ways to (legally) unlock an iPhone, and you can even buy them unlocked. From Apple. Here:

1. Apple now sells unlocked iPhones that can be used on any GSM network.

2. The GSM iPhone 4 has a tray that is easily popped out to access the microSIM card. It is on the right side of the phone.

3. All GSM iPhones work on scores of networks an...

Why is this being reported as news?

Can you explain why this is being reported as news?
As this TMoNews.com article shows, T-Mobile has been selling these since November 2010: http://bit.ly/nA4VjZ

So why is this being reported as new?
thanks
I work for T-mobile and we have offered Micro SIMs at T-Mobile stores since last year, yeah.

All this does is allow customers to use an iPhone on our network, nothing more, nothing less. Everybody should stop reading into this as something more, ...

tmobile, make up your freaking mind!

first, you make fun of iphone cus how slow it is compare to your hspa+ 4g networks.
now you want people to use iphone on your EDGE network which is even slower?
Choices never hurt the consumer. If you're that offended, you can simply choose to NOT use T-Mobile.

I'm sorry to read you're taking it so personally.
The original iPhone didn't have 3g or 4g even when used on AT&T, so obviously there are one or two people out there who might want to use an iPhone even if it is only EDGE. I can't remember how many of the first iPhone were sold and I don't want to o...

Other Carriers?

does this mean it will only be available to att customers?
For now yes it's only available with AT&T.

ONLY AT&T JAJAJJAJAJ AT&T ROCKS

About a month ago there was a rumor saying Sprint was getting it sometime this summer. Said it was going to be a iPhone 4G, but haven't heard anything else. But I'll believe it when I see it.
...
no, srsly, its coming to sprint.

I have proof.

its right here

https://www.phonescoop.com/forums/forum.php?fm=m&ff= ... »
Keep it on ATT.Other carriers will restrict it anyways...
You can unlock it via jailbreakme.com

after you jailbreak install "ultrasn0w" and it will be unlocked. You will have to cut your sim card though...

To Jail break or not to jail break?

what really is jail breaking and/or ulocking? i have neever understood the whole concept, can someone explain the whole thing? is it beneficial in any way or is it just something to do for the sake of just doing it? 😕

Iphone 4 question?

Is there a way to view the exact amount of storage the user has avaliable for use and the total amount of storage space on the 16gb and 32gb models?
If you go into settings -> about. It shows you

Also If you plug into itunes, on the bottom it will show you how much space is on your iphone, and how much space is used, broken down into categories (ie movies, music, pictures, data, etc..)

I don't know if you guys have noticed....

If you begin to have a Visual Voicemail issue to where it does not show any missed calls or messages or ask for a password or if your phone slows in responsiveness or connects to Safari fairly slowly the solution is to Reset Network Settings. This is just something I've been helping people out with as an AT&T rep. The only thing to this is that you'll have to reconfigure WiFi Hotspots and other WiFi networks along with their VPN's. If it still ask for a password regarding the VVM then you'll have to call to have us reset it.


To do this Settings< General< Reset< Reset Network Settings. It may prompt for your Security Password\Passcode then the device will reboot.

iPhone 4 Facebook App Issues

Is anyone else having issues with the Facebook App specifically on the iPhone4.

Mine seems to be giving me random numbers of notifications, and when I check my notifications I only have like 2-3 in reality, but the icon shows like a high random number.

Also the notification bar on the bottom stays red with the latest notification and it does not refresh after I view my notifications.

These are two of my issues, and they persist sometimes for more than 2 hours.

Reply back if you have the same issues or with any recommendations on how to solve the issues besides rebooting the phone.

Thanks 🙂
have you tried deleting the app and re-downloading it? that fixes about 90% of all app related errors

Question about sound quality on iPhone 4..... Why doesn't sound come out of BOTH speakers??

My husband and I both have the new iPhone 4 and have had them for 2 weeks now. We are just very curious about the two small speakers on the bottom of the phone. Both of our phones only emit sound from the right speaker. There is no sound coming out of the left side.... is this normal? Are other people's phones doing the same thing or is there something wrong with ours?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.... just wanted to check and see before I call Apple or go to the Apple store to inquire about it.
Nevermind..... just looked in the Apple iPhone forums and found out that the left side is a microphone and the right side is the speaker..... now I feel dumb. LOL.

Thanks!!

Apple newb needs advice

I know there are some hardcore apple junkies out there that can make the thing change their tv station. All i want to know is there a way to get ringtones on and off the phone easily without purchasing them from itunes. Also is it even possible to use my text message alerts i made myself other than the ones that come on the phone. I like my new iphone 4 but i hate when they seriously restrict the phone from doing things easily just to make another buck off me.

PDF attachement

I receive a bunch of e-mails with PDF attachments every day. My iPhone 4 opens them randomly, sometimes it opens all of them, then a moment later it opens some and does not open the others. Then I go back and it opens the one it did not before, but can't open the one it did 5 min ago, and so on, very annoying 🙄 Any ideas? thanks.

losing bluetooth connection

Does anyone else have a problem with the phone dropping bluetooth connections? Never had a problem with my 3G but this phone drops about once a day.
I don't have a problem with it dropping, but its basically unusable as people cant hear me and I have to just shut it off. I've re-paired it but doesn't seem to solve the problem. Makes me mad because it took me forever to find a comfortable ear pie...

Shouldn't you own the ip4 before you do a review???

I have been reading the reviews and the negative ones all endorse droid phones. How are you determining the features and everything for the phone if you don't own one? Are you playing with one in the store and reading negative blogs about the phone and then making your decision? I own the ip4 no regrets and none of the problems that have been blown up.
Why do you assume people do not own both? With 30 day free trials it costs nothing to own both phones at the same time. I have had both for awhile now. I will be canceling AT&T and staying with Sprint this coming monday. Wanted to be sure I was not st...

You are correct. There is now way anyone can make a educated comparison of the two phones unless you use both to their full capability.
I had the original Iphone and then the 3gs and the
Ip4 and i have loved my other phones , However after 2 weeks of ho-hum performance and a tone more dropped calls i sent the Ip4 back . Yes it has a pretty screen and a nice camera but thats all . th...

White Iphone 4

Regarding the "Late July" availability of the White Iphone 4, is Apple going to have issues fixed, or at least attempt to fix the issues that the first batch of the Black Iphone 4 had??? 😕


Like the reception/signal strength for calls, and the yellow spots or hue on the screen.
I too am waiting on the white one, but I hardly doubt the signal/antenna issue will be fixed considering they are making them now and their response to the problems.

They basically said any cell phone has reception issues if held a certain way - oh...

Apple to hold press conference tomorrow

Apple is going to smooth this all over tomorrow morning. They are going to offer free bumpers for iPhone 4 owners, and announce the release date for the white version. All will be forgotten and Apple will be on top of the world.

I don't think this is "the right solution" but consumers are going to be more than satisfied with it.

Thoughts?
I guess I hit the nail on the head. I'll pat myself on the back, haha.

I guess the only part I missed was Apple trying to expose all of the other smartphones antenna weaknesses.
