I put my microsim into my 3gs to use for next few days cause Ill be outdoors and do not want to risk damaging new IP4 Tested calls and such and works fine. Now will there be any issues with ATT by doing this?
View 5 RepliesI have a new iphone 4 which was provided as part of a new business contract through a telecoms company not Orange. The Orange sim came separately. However the 3g web access is painfully bad as compared to my old 3gs iphone on T-mobile. It's pretty much useless in most parts of London.Which brings me to my question. Is there any way of telling if my new iphone4 is unlocked without having to buy a new mini sim card? Any way of checking through the firmware or something?I was seriously thinking there was something wrong with my phone but all my colleagues on Orange also have the same problem. We were out on a course yesterday and I had my old 3gs whilst everyone else had their new iphone4 and I was the only one able to access mail and use the web the whole way there on the train and at the actual centre itself, which a lot of my colleagues were none to pleased about. I presume it's Orange being a bit rubbish and not the new iphone4 having a weaker signal reception?

I'd like to switch back and forth between phones, if possible, but I wanted to check and see what steps I'd have to take regarding sim card, data plan etc. Looked through forums and it looks like I'd have to buy some kind of sim adapter, is that correct?

Soo I didnt know what to do, so I thought, why not try putting my SIM card into another phone, so I put it in my old Samsung Taco, it loaded up alright but none of the messages are there, they are just the ones from the old Taco, same with pictures, and everything else, is there anyway to view that image on that phone?
I have had my Sony Ericsson W995 for almost a year now, and the contacts keep swapping themselves around, I had to get the backup from my memory card which is really old, but my problem is, if two contacts start with the same letter, they jumble themselves around. I.E, I will have a friend called David (Which isn't his name, by the way) and that will be right under Dad. David will become the same number as Dad, therefore making me have to get Davids number again.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this data dongle with a removable SIM card. Keep it plugged into the laptop all day long. At night, surfing the web is more convenient on the E7 than the laptop, and so I regularly turn off the E7, and replace the SIM card with the one I have in the dongle (haven't subscrived for a data plan on the SIM i use in the phone, cause i always have this laptop with me and paying for two data connections is an overkill, just need it for like 30 mins every night before I fall asleep). Don't really care about the dongle, i will throw it away if it breaks, it's not that expensive. But will removing the SIM card from the phone once every day damage the SIM card tray on the E7?
View 7 Replies View RelatedHow did I delete my Contacts? Here's what happened:
1. I had a good set of contacts in the phone itself, and on the SD card.
2. Trying to determine if Wifi Calling could possibly work with no sim installed, or with a dead Tmo sim installed, I tried both ways, in that order. (In fact, though different messages appeared, neither scenario worked.Both times, my SD was in the Defy. And the dead sim had never been used in the Defy.) I had to sign into Motoblur during this exercise.
3. I put my good sim back in.I signed back into Motoblur.I noticed during the evening that incoming calls did not show the caller etc etc etc. In fact, I had no contacts, said the phone. Not even, apparently, in the phone memory.
4. I imported contacts from the SD card. A couple recent changes made to the phone memory contacts were not present.
What in the previous steps caused my phone contacts to disappear? Just loading up a dead sim? Could it have really been so dumb as to attempt to generate a new (blank) set from that sim without asking,saying 'this will replace your contacts; do you want to continue? Though that sim had been used in a Moto Spice, Android 2.1, I cannot say with certainty that I'd ever exported the Spice XT300 contacts to the sim.And now, I decide to export the contacts to the SIM for safety sake. I see only one item, My Info. I choose All Contacts (at the top) , and it sits there seemingly forever, doing nothing.The only thing I can do is back out of that. There's 'Select All' at the bottom left, but it can't be clicked if All Contacts was. If I do that instead, it just selects me.
I rebooted, and got nothing different.I only have 100 contacts.So if those 100 are in the phone memory, why won't they export? If they're not in there, then where did the Import from SD put them?
Is this the same as an upgrade swap? I actually talked to ATT via online chat, and they said once an iPhone 4 is ordered, its stuck to that line. But im pretty sure thats not true.So I want to add a line with iPhone 4 then once I receive her, put it on my primary line, use a dummy phone on the new line, and cancel data on the new line. It works out because I need a new line anyway, I have unlimited data on my primary line, and it saves me some $$ in getting the iPhone at full discount price.
The only thing I was worried about was being able to cancel data, but the ATT rep said I can cancel data at any time. And to order online, I would need to add the single line to my account and order it, once I receive it then I can switch to family plan.Will I need to do the same call ATT and give them IMEI's of everything to swap? Anyone done something similar?
has any one tried swapping out a trackpad in place of the trackball. i know the keyboard would need replaced also.i have found the replacement parts and i have someone who can help me take it apart but was curious if anyones done it ?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've seen this question asked quite a few times from searching the threads, but I've not found a definite answer. I currently have a 3gs. I'm planning on buying an iphone 4 on pay as you go (UK), then just keeping my current contract sim. I'm not on an 'official' iphone contract. Does this mean I'm going to have to cut my cim card up to fit it in the micro sim tray?
I'm assuming there's no way o2 will give me a micro sim card whilst keeping my on my current contract, as they'll just tell me to get a proper iphone contract (which is £15 more per month than I'm currently paying with less mins etc)
Does anyone switch the sims between their iPhone 4 and 3G/3Gs? I finally found a new phone yesterday and I want to get a sim adapter so that I can use my 3GS when I'm training or in a place where I don't want to get the ip4 all dirty and sweaty. The guy at the store said that this is a no no and that AT&T would charge me the full price of the ip4 if I do this while I'm still under contract. This sounds like a complete load of bs but I just want to make sure.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI was excited about the HTC EVO Release Date thread but that was worthless. I'm hoping this will be an abuse free thread.I have a jailbreaked iPhone 3G. I'm running MyWi so I can tether my iPad. I love it. I'm getting faster data speeds on my tethered iPad than I do on my iPhone. Go figure that one.But I HATE the phone. I hate it, hate it, hate it. I have about a %40 call drop rate, per day. It's painful. So I'm thinking of switching to Sprint and the EVO. There is no 4G service in NYC or anywhere near me. I want to be able to tether my iPad and computer without paying an additional $30. I called Sprint and looked into. And right off the bat I wasn't happy with having to deal with a Customer Service Rep. in Punjab.
1) Will I be able to jailbreak the EVO so I can run other Apps and tether? What is the tether App called? Is there an Android jailbreak guide like there is for the iPhone on iClarified.com.
2) How will the call quality be on this phone with Sprint?
3) Can I talk and surf at the same time? Unlike on Verizon's network (for the time being).
4) How is the data speed with Sprint and this phone?
5) WILL THE EVO/SPRINT WORK IN MANHATTAN?

My iphone 4 suddenly switched off and it is not switching on back
Info:iPhone 4
My month old (replacement) Iphone 4s decided to switch itself off and will not switch back on, it had not run out of battery nothing happened to it, now trying to switch it on and it does nothing. Even charging the battery gets no response. I got my original one in February and had only had that about 4 weeks when I had to have it replaced by Apple as there was a massive issue with the Ipod on it. Will Apple replace another one?

yesterday my iphone 4 kept switching off and would only turn back on when connect to a wall charger. after it turning off 5 times turning off the 5th time it came up with "activation required" and to connect it to itunes but when i take my phone off the charger it turns off. i then tried to reset while attached to my charger and came up with the battery screen saying i had red battery but when it turned fully on again with "activation required" and to connect it to itunes says i have 100% battery yet when i take it off the charger to connect to my computer (which once connected doesnt turn on at all) it turns off?

My iphone 4 has been working fine but recently I've started having trouble with it switching itself off. For example it will show 48% battery, this will suddenly and instantly reduce to 1% and my phone will go off. If i try and turn it back on it displays the image that indicates it has no battery however if i give it 5 mins and then switch it back on, it goes back to showing 48% battery.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI went for a stroll around town today with my iPhone 4, and used it as I normally would. The result was upsetting. In places that my 3GS shined, the iPhone 4 was unable to load a webpage. The overall speed of making phone calls and sending texts was noticeably slower on my iPhone 4. I don't care what the reason is behind this, all I want is my phone to work like it's supposed to! I love the screen and cameras on the 4, but it's just not worth the hassle. I'll wait a few days for Apple to respond, but if they don't I'm switching my 3GS back on and selling my 4 on ebay. Anybody considering the same thing? The 3GS was such a reliable phone for me.
View 7 Replies View RelatedAT&T is telling me that I can't switch the SIM From my iPhone 4 into another smartphone because the data plans are different. I as hoping to use a SIM card adapter and pick up a Captivate or a future Android release and just switch back and forth as I wanted, just swapping the SIM in whichever phone I wanted to use.
From what the AT&T rep has told me, if I do that I will lose my iPhone data plan when the SIM is put into a non iPhone. Is this accurate? If you have an iPhone that's basically the only phone you can use unless you want to screw up your plan?
Any advice on how I could accomplish doing what I want here, using an iPhone 4 and another smartphone with the same SIM just at different times?
So here's my situation. I'm currently using an unlocked iPhone 3gs on T-Mobile and I was to switch to a Nexus One simply because I would be able to get 3G on my T-Zones instead of edge on the iPhone. My girlfriend on the other hand will be switching from verizon to Tmobile but she wants my iPhone. So basically she will be using my iPhone and I will be using her nexus one. So here are my questions:Are there any differences between an unlocked nexus one and a nexus one bought for new tmobile members?If there is a difference, which one will I be able to use 3G with on my t-zone plan?
Will tmobile require my girlfriend to get a data plan if she gets the nexus one even though she doesn't use the Internet much? If so, how much is the data plan?
Have a 3gs which is about 2 years old, so not covered by warranty that keeps switching off when I start using some of the apps I have on it

My phone keeps switching off and is difficult to restart
Info:iPhone 3GS
Both my girlfriend and I have an iPhone. However she does not have a data package. She has activated iMessage as she is often in a wi-fi zone. However when she is out and I try to send her a text message, I get iMessage and the blue bubble even though she is not in a wifi area. In these cases the message can be delayed quite a bit. I have no idea of knowing if she is in wifi or not so important or timely messages won't get to her and I know nothing about it.

I have an iPhone 4S on AT&T. I upgraded it so I have 4G (although it's technically still 3G). Sometimes when there's not a lot of signal the Internet just drops to EDGE and no matter how many times I restart the phone it's still on EDGE. How do I fix this so it's always 4G?

At this point in time, Verizon is becoming too expensive and i'm looking to move to T-Mobile. I plan to purchase an Unlocked iPhone 4S from the Apple website. I went to a T-Mobile store and a rep told me that they can configure something so i can send MMS messages. (I know i can't use visual voice mail and I'll be on the slower Edge network) But is the rep right? Would i be able to send MMS messages?Another question: Will iMessage still work? and if so, could i send photos over iMessage?
