IPhone :: Why Apple Releasing 4G Early?
Jun 23, 2010
Now I understand that the main argument is that it would free up some traffic for the 24th when people were activating through Itunes, but I've heard from several Iphone 4 early owners that the activation process was just as slow as the times when the 3GS came out. And at the same time, would releasing maybe 15%-20% of the phones early, free up that much traffic for launch day.
I've also heard the conspiracy theory from Addictive Tips, which doesn't hold much water.

What do you think the reason was that led Apple to release the phone up to two days before the actual launch date?

Firstly, My IPhone has only dropped its connection once and the rest of the time it has worked fine so I have no complaint about the phones performance. There are people having problem though and I hope I do not get them in the future. It seems to me Apple should have not released a flawed product. The bars are displayed incorrectly and many people are having connection issues which is hardware issue with the antenna.

So currently At&t will charge you $325 if you cancel you contract after 30 days however if I read correctly, you can cancel you contact before the 30 days and not get charged at all? But of course you would still need to pay for that month off service..You can check this out by clicking 'terms of service' http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/ar...less-terms.jsp

I just spent an hour speaking with AT&T "Customer Service" and was appalled that they will neither waive early termination fees ("ETFs") nor unlock iPhones for customers moving to foreign countries. Although they have never been willing to unlock iPhones, they used to waive ETFs until a discreet policy change around January 2010. If you make the company whole for their iPhone subsidy by paying an ETF, how is it fair to leave you with a locked device that is useless outside AT&T's network?
Does anybody have tips for getting around this? They will not even let you switch to a prepaid plan or suspend your account for more than 6 months if you want to keep your phone number. The only option is to transfer your contract liability to someone else who is willing to accept it, which is an unlikely and generally useless option.

I have owned every iPhone to date and purchased the 3GS last year, DAY ONE. As of June 19th, my contract will be one year old. Yet, I am not eligible for even the early upgrade price. AT&T says I will be eligible 2/11. But Apple says I'm eligible in December 2010. That's one issue I'm having. Why the difference? And why are so many iPhone 3GS owners eligible when the majority of them renewed their contracts the same time I did, so most contracts are no older than mine. I don't understand why some people's dates have been pushed back and other haven't been. I understand that those eligible for upgrade in 2010 had their dates pushed ahead 6 months, but WHY were they eligible in 2010? If they renewed their 2 year contract for the 3GS, why were they eligible in 2010 to begin with? I don't understand why "Account Holder A" buys a 3GS in June of 2009 and is eligible for upgrade this month, but "Account Holder B" whom also bought a 3GS in June 2009, but can't upgrade to the iPhone 4. why?
Finally, I'm trying to figure out how to get around things. Please advise. If I cancel my contract and pay the ~$100 ETF ($175-5 per month), a few people have said AT&T will not let me open another account for 6-12 months. Is this always the case? Second option, what if I add another line and get the iPhone at a subsidized line, then cancel the first line and pay the ETF. This would work, right? I'd only lose my number? Third, most legitimate option. I was thinking about adding a line for my brother. He's dying to get an iPhone 4. If I added a line and selected a family plan, shouldn't this give me "VIP status?" I have read that those with VIP status have had their upgrade eligibility pushed forward. If I went to AT&T on preorder day and opened his line first and bought the subsidized iPhone 4, chose a family plan, would I immediately be upgrade eligible on the original line? This way I could buy my iPhone 4 at the discounted price as well?

I was trying to correct a problem with birthday calendar entries appearing a day early, and I followed a post that said I should go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings, and now it's asking me whether I want to set up as a new iphone. I haven't recently done any manual backup. Where should I back up from or if I chose "setup as new iphone" will all my data be lost?

iPhone 4

Why Sony is releasing the update by countries? Why Sony do not just release the update globally? Is there some problem like a overloading the servers with updates? I understand that sony is releasing the updade for only few phones at the same time,but the releasing over the countries is not understandable.

iPhone 4 suddenly requires the Home button to be held down for 3-5 secs before releasing to take it Home! Used to do this instantly.

Official Russian Sony blog says, that such software has already been released. But neither PC Companion, nor internal phone upgrading tool displays the possibility to download the upgrade. how long have I left to wait untill I download Android 4.0 in Ukraine.

I was a lifetime VZW customer and switched to AT&T in January for the 9700.
When I looked at a 9800 two days ago, they told me that they would give me an early upgrade if I wanted one. ( Contract price + $75 ) What exactly determines if you get an early upgrade and how often?

I factory reseted my phone recently and I cant seem to get my alarms to trigger, i do NOT use the phone default alarm software, (mainly because I do not want the alarm sign icon at the top of the screen reminding me what I already know), so I use another software, I currently have 3 other alarm software's (Tasker, Alarm Clock Plus, Alarm Clock Xtreme) and while they do trigger when I test the alarm just a couple mins from now, the problem is at the morning, I assume its because my phone goes into deep sleep? here is my CPU spy screenshot which confirms my phone going into that mode, are alarms not supposed to trigger there?

So, here is the deal. I canceled my AT&T contract and went out a purchased HTC One developers edition (64g). Dialing out and getting calls, have no issue. Load up Google Voice app. Now when I make a call the screen goes black right away.
Steps to reproduce:
* Unlock phone (just screen not dropping new image on phone or anything)
* Start HTC one phone app (after loading google app on phone first).
** After installing google voice, tell it that you should use it for all outgoing calls.
* Go to history (I see it the most here)
* select phone number in list

I was a day 1 Android phone user and found features that were lacking. I did wait and now the Android is a real workhorse.For the tablet, I should have know as well. My question is not so much the hardware. I can wait for SD card & 4G LTE. My main issue is that that major content providers are ignoring Honeycomb and the Xoom. I regularly watch news sites. When I saw the majors launching the iPad app, I though the Xoom was right behind it. Nothing on the horizon.How can we get the developers to port to Xoom? I can get my eMail on the Android. I don't want video feeds on the Android, rather the Xoom.

using OVI Suite 2.1.1.1 I find that when I sync my 6700 with Outlook 2007, meeting times are shown on the Nokia 6700 as being one hour earlier than the actual times as originally input in Outlook. Is this a known problem? As I've just recently started using this I'm not sure if ity might be a time zone problem or some other sort of problem.

The story so far: I bought an accessory in Nov 2011 at an Apple Retail Store. (Philips dual-dock speaker) It started malfunctioning in Mar 2012. (Dock not charging anymore) I brought it to an Apple Store (closer to my place), they were happy to replace it on the spot, except that there was none in stock. So I was advised to go to an other Store (the original one), where they had stock. So far, so good for service. I went to the other store, but there I was told that they could not replace it because I had bought it more than 14 days before, so I had to contact the manufacturer directly! So my questions are:
- What is, if any, the actual policy on non-Apple product repair & replacement?
- Why don't all store follow the same policy?
- Should I just try my luck again with another person, until I strike gold and get it replaced?

I made a purchase for a black bumper and paid $31.60 but when I go to the Apple.com website to check the status of my refund its shows "There is no record of a refund for the receipt number you entered." I tried entering my receipt number plus last 4 of card and I also tried just entering the full CC number as well and get that response for both.
Just wanting to know if anyone has possibly experienced before, wanted to to see if any Macforum members have had this issue and what was the resolution to your issue? Should I just call Apple? Are they giving refunds in store if you take in your receipt?
