I updated my firmware to the latest version but it seems that it doesn't support my SIM after the update. What I did was to reset the iPhone, hoping that it will reverse to its previous state. What happened is that the unit seems to be dead. Only the Apple logo appears in the display. I tried to sync it with iTunes hoping to recover the unit to its previous state. It seems that the iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone because no iPhone can be seen listed on the left panel display of the iTunes.
Im not one who feels they need to put their entire music/iTunes collection on their phone. I will probably have no more than 1GB worth of music at any one time. If Im feeling conflicted maybe another 1GB but doubtful. As far as videos I wont have more than a few on there. Maybe another 1GB or 2. As far as apps, I highly doubt I would ever get more than 100 apps at once and from what I understand, outside of GPS apps, they are all pretty much 10MB or less. So at a 100 apps maybe another 1GB there. Lets say I buy a GPS app that takes up 2GB. So Ive got 1GB in music, 1GB of videos, 1GB of Apps and a 2GB GPS app. Ive used 5GB and I would have somewhere between 10GB and 11GB left.
Now lets talk about photos. I wont really load anything more than some wallpapers but when I start taking photos (and videos) I wont let them pile up for too long without moving them to my MacBook. So if I have several hundred photos on the iPhone at any one time, lets say 1GB to 2GB used.
Would I be fine in this scenario? Or should I go for 32GB? So I may get down to 8GB free, maybe less if I let stuff build up more. Would you find this acceptable for your use?
I really cant be without my phone so my options are:
1. Send to apple, $199 plus $29 for a pre replacement. 2. Buy an old ebay 2g or 3g phone as a backup while mine is fixed then sell it on ebay. 3. Get an early upgrade for $399 and sell my cracked one on ebay. 4. Any other options?
I currently own a 16GB 3GS and have the following memory breakdown: 1.25 GB Audio 600 MB Video 400 MB Photos 6.25 GB Apps 8 GB Free
I was originally thinking that I'd just get a 16 GB IPhone 4 but then I got to wondering whether, with the higher resolution display, the video & apps would be significantly larger size files. For instance, will TomTom be 2.5GB instead of 1.25GB? And HD videos?
I currently have a 32 GB 3Gs. Honestly if it wasn't for the 14 movies I have on it, I would barely top out 5 GB. I'm thinking since I have a 32 GB iPad, I should be okay. If I want to watch movies portable, I'll bring my iPad. It's easier on the eyes than watching on an iPhone, especially when you're riding in the back of the car and the road is bumping that little screen up and down. Am I crazy for thinking this way? Economy is bad, money's tight, 16GB is all the wife will allow me right now.
I have both reserved, but am unsure if I should go for the bigger capacity or not? I currently have a 3GS of which there is about 8.2gb free. Thing is, with the iPhone having HD videos, 5mp photos and probably apps that will take a bit more memory. Should I opt for the 32gb or will 16gb be more than enough for my usage?
I called 5 different places and they only have 32GB. I wanted the IPhone 4 16Gb but I don't want to wait anymore. Its only $100 more. Did anybody else just get the 32Gb cause they where all out of 16's?
I've got my IPhone 3G 16GB, soon I will get the new IPhone that will be announced, but now I am really annoyed with my current IPhone speed. It is slow in comparison to 3GS and iPad. I know that there hardware differences, but is there any way to boost up my iPhone a little? Maybe restoring, and just keeping few applications will help? Now I have about 35 applications installed.
I am using IPhone 8GB (First gen) and am getting IPhone 4. I was almost decided on 16GB till my friends told me that 5 megapixel photos will be much larger than 2 megapixel ones. Also HD video will be large. I am only using 5GB out of my 8GB phone now. I have 3GB of music and about 600 pictures on my phone. And yes about 150 applications. I don't need movies or TV shows. So just for Higher resolution pics and video, do I need 32GB over 16GB?
When I compare my 16gb 3G vs a 32gb 3GS, the 3GS is much thicker then my 3G, so that begs the question; will the 32GB iPhone 4 be thicker than the 16GB?
I'm currently using a 3g 8gb iPhone however, I was hoping for a 64gb iPhone to fully replace my iPod as a external drive. However, 64gb do not exist and it's likely I'll probably get an iPhone 4gs / 5 next June. So, should I save probably £100 and just get the 16gb iPhone and use smart playlists? Or should I get a 32gb and hope that I can get some of the value back on the resale?
I am still using an iPhone 3G, but plan to upgrade to the iPhone 4 on launch day. I currently use only about 1GB of space on my iPhone 3G (8GB). That said, I don't have HD video on my 3G or a 5mp camera (and I take a decent amount of photos with my phone and I can expect I'll take even more since the camera is much improved on the iP4). For the average user that is a little "snap happy" with photos and plans to take HD video clips here and there. Do you guys think 16GB will be enough? I probably will store very little music on there since I use my iPod Nano for all of my music.
I think I am going to return my 16gb IP4 for the 32gb. I figured if I am going to be stuck with another 2 years (or 1.5yrs). I might as well have the max I can get now. Will it be a problem to exchange?
I have an IPhone 4 16gb and I have about 4000 itunes songs. Do you know roughly how many songs I can fit on there at 128kbps setting. I have Zero videos on it btw, just songs.
I've been an iP4 owner for a little while now. I heard that there is a 30 day return policy regardless of minutes used on the phone (I know usually it's 30 minutes or 30 days). I was wondering since I'd like to take a lot of pictures and maybe record some video (not a lot I suppose) should I swap out for the 32GB before my 30 days comes up? The extra $100 is kinda keeping me from doing it.
I have updated my iPhone 3GS 16GB to run on iOS 5 as prompted by the phone. The following evening my phone was docked in my alarm clock on charge and by the morning all it was displaying was a silvery apple symbol in the centre of a black screen. After playing with it for a bit I saw a grey textured background with "iPhone" written in the middle and a sweep bar saying configure. I swept this bar and it asked me to connect to iTunes, if I dont within 5 mins it reverts to the silvery apple symbol. I have attempted to connect it to iTunes to which the same continues despite iTunes displaying my iPhone as being connected. After 48 hours it was working as usual once more and location services activated. The next week it began all over again, only now when I attempt to connect my iPhone to iTunes I am told it cannot connect becasue of an error code 0xE8000001, it then informs me that an unknown error, code -42408 has occurred. I would hate to have lost all my contacts and photos, I do Sync but I dont think I have backed everything up, I realise now from reading other boards that I should have double backed up etc. But at the time it didn't seem from the advice given on the phone it was such a mamoth thing for the phone to do.
When I send SMS to some people in my contacts, they report that they will recieve the main message, and one more message after that with the last word from the main message. Example: If I send the message: Hey how's it going dude? Wanna meet up for some some drinks and get crazy?
The message will arrive like this:
(Message 1)
Hey how's it going dude? Wanna meet up for some some drinks and get
(Message 2)
crazy?
The messages I send are usually well under the 160 character limit for CDMA networks. as anyone else experienced this? I called Sprint and they said they know nothing of it, and that I should contact Apple about it. Possibly a phone reset might fix it I think, but just curious if anyone else has had this happen. Most people don't care, but a few of my friends don't have unlimited SMS or are on pre-paid plans.
My brand new iPhone 4s that runs iOS 5.1 won't open my camera. Everytime I click on it now the camera app just stays on the closed lens screen or it goes to a black screen. It doesn't work 75-90% of the time now. I went to my local AT&T store and they told me to do a hard restart which worked for a bit but know has no effect. My I have restored my phone plenty of times which didn't work and I have tried going in and out of Dfu mode and that also didn't work should I take it in and get a new phone? If so it hasn't been 30 days yet since my purchase but I don't want to get a refurbished phone. I have the apple care plan but I repeat I don't want a used phone.
I reserved a 16GB iPhone 4 today but when I got the conformation email it says it costs $599.00. I'm eligible for the upgrade price of $199.00 and I want to see if this has happened with anyone else's reservation email?
does anything know any good place that sells iphone 16GB 3gs for a good price? and i wonder how much stores in Pacific mall is selling these phones for ?
