IPhone :: Does Advanced Replacement Require Signature?
Jul 26, 2010
I did an advanced replacement for my iphone 4, but right now I'm on a road trip. Would getting an advanced replacement require a signature from UPS/USPS? I'm from the US.
I called applecare this week because of a number of issues with my iPhone 4 (got on launch day). The advanced replacement came today so I have two for a short period. First thing I noticed was that the new phone (SN: 85028...) has a MUCH warmer screen than the original (SN: 86022...). At maximum brightness the new one looks better and a tad bit brighter but at 60% or so (where I usually use it), the original wins as the new one looks filthy). I'm not sure that I like it and think I want to keep my original but am still concerned about the other issues:
-No change in abrupt signal drop when touching the bottom left corner.If anything the signal drops faster with the new phone
-The other issue was that my original iPhone 4 was outrageously unstable.It would crash over and over despite me restoring it, etcIt would lock up after sync, etc as well.One thing I did notice was that the clock is off by 31 seconds.I actually did notice this when compared to my 3gs when I first got it but then forgot about it.3GS and new iPhone 4 = exactly the same clock time old iPhone 4 (from launch) = 31 seconds slower than the others.I find this very odd. Does anyone know what might cause this? I am wondering if something is corrupt in the phone. Also, if I decide that I am truly unhappy with the screen on the replacement, can I just send it back instead of sending my original back?
I was wondering this the other day. Does Facetime require an active connection to the Internet to work? By this, I mean if you have two iPhone4 users on the same wifi network (not connected to the Internet), can they use facetime to v-chat?
I'm thinking if you're in a work environment where you can't attach wifi routers to the network, could I bring in an old wifi router and just plug in the power? Then anyone with an iPhone4 could connect to this network just for Facetime (and perhaps stuff like filesharing, printersharing, etc).
My Iphone wont let me sign into any pages that require a password. It just keeps bringing me back to the sign in page. So now I don't want to plug it into my computer for fear of spreading the problem.
I have an Iphone 3G. Using GPS seems to cost me money every time I access it? (unless I am in a free Wi-Fi area) I assume it connects to the Internet. I did not realise that it needed the internet. I have GPS in my car and it seems to connect with the Satellite immediately. The Iphone does not seem to operate in the same way. For example, if I plan a route using my Iphone in a Wi-Fi Area (my own), when I go outside to follow the route and proceed along the various steps, do I still need an internet connection?.
My brother wants to give his son an iPhone but son only has a user account. Brother keeps admin account and has parental controls on sons user account. His son told him he would need admin account to use iphone and sync with iTunes and my brother has asked me if this is true? I can't find the answer in searching the old posts. I'm sure the computer is a PC and probably either Vista or Win7 but do not know any details at this time. (They live in a different state) brother says he will fed-ex me the computer if I can get it setup to work so his son can use with a user account only.
I leave location services off because it kills battery life, and I very rarely use it. Coupled with the graphical power needed for the iMovie app, the battery life is rather worse than with my normal settings. Other apps don't have this asinine need for location services to be turned on, so why does the Apple built iMovie app need to?
*Edit* I know that it does this so it knows which location to use on the Travel theme, but why isn't there an option to turn it off?

Our company has Nokia 6233 handsets with car kits CK-7W, as it is a discontinued model we are looking for replacement and found 6300. Can you please let us know if we can use the car kit CK-7W for this or you recommend some thing else
I was looking through my settings and was trying to test out a feature, forget exact feature but it either involved hitting the home button 3 times or it was holding the home and volume down buttons at the same time (I am guessing it was some combination of these two that activated my issue). I can not remember the exact feature as I was fiddling through the entire Settings menu for awhile before this happened . Regardless of the feature, I somehow managed to put my phone into a mode where everything requires a double tap to select and it has made using the phone near impossible.
When I attempt to tap something, lets say the Google toolbar for example, I get a blue box that surrounds the selected item and I get a vibration (that didnt happen before) & nothing happens. Unless I do a rapid double tap the app/icon/whatever will just become highlighted. Once I do the double tap and manage to get Google Now open, it becomes impossible to input text, it seems the double tap sometimes will select a letter, but it takes multiple attempts to even get the letter to register and by the time it does i end up with 4 of the same letter.
Oddly if i just single tap a letter or tap on a blank area of my home screen, I get what feels like a quarter powered vibration. This issue extends to every input on the phone, and when I say that everything requires a double tap I do mean EVERYTHING - I had to type this message with my fiances phone because I could not even manage to type it out on my own phone. I can not even manage to bring down my notification pullbar from up top because it ALL requires a double tap!
How to get rid of this and revert back to normal? I would prefer if I did not have to perform a factory reset...
I am trying to fix the "This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server."
problem. I have found several sites which tell me to correct it I need to go to Options> Advanced Options>etc. However, I don't see Advanced Options under Options.
I set up active sync for my C7, note that this implies automatic changes of your phones security settings, e.g. you are forced to set the security code of your phone. The timeout is fixed to 15 min, after you need to enter the code again if you want to use the phone!When seeting the security code you are forced to enter digit AND letters!I first tought it is a our corporate security rule, but IT department said no, it is the phone.Even worse when entering the security code it does allow only digits.If you keep pressing the lower right key, the alphabetic keys appear and you may enter a letter.(if you manage it you will need to send your phone to Nokia care, because it does not start anymore)Now when ever I want to access my C7, e.g. check my email, I need to enter the security code - accepted. However entering digits AND letters every time is quite annoying.
Whenever I come to download AppWorld through blackberry.com/appworld, I end up getting this "This application requires the following modules, which are not installed: net_rim_barcodelib net_rim_bbapi_unifiedsearch net_rim_crypto"
