Charging iPhone overnight

Apple iPhone - Charging iPhone overnight

I often plug my iPhone 4 into a wall socket overnight and am surprised to get up in the morning and find it only 92% charged, from about 60-80% charge before I plugged it in. Does it fully charge then start to lose charge? Do you turn it completely off when charging?

iPhone Battery
No and no - something is not right with either your charger or the outlet you are plugging in to

-----
Unplug the iPhone then reboot it. Trying charging again. It should go to 100%.

-----
I had the same problem about a month ago! 92% charge from an overnight charging on my iPhone 4. I thought the plug just came loose from the outlet. I recharged and it went to 100% and has done so ever since. I find that odd.

-----
One thing to try is to let it drain down to the red and then recharge it. Try that a couple of times. That might bring it around. Don't leave it on the charger longer than necessary...over night charges don't hurt it much but you shouldn't do that all the time because eventually the battery's life will be shorter.

Any rumor of changes to the iPhone 4?

Apple iPhone - Any rumor of changes to the iPhone 4?

I'm considering purchasing the iPhone 4 soon and was wondering if there was going to be an updated phone put out to solve the antenna problem without adding a bump case. I always seem to buy Apple products right before they update the whole line! Any ideas?

New iPhone
They aren't changing the design - issued a statement a week or two ago that they are discontinuing the case program as of 9/30 as the problem "was not as widespread as we originally thought", so if you want the free case you HAVE to buy before 9/30. If you buy after 9/30 you can call Apple Support, complain and end up getting a free Apple Bumper but they are not going to release a new phone until next June/July...

It works perfectly! Don't delay!

Backup taking forEVER

Apple iPhone - Backup (before downloading iOS 4) taking forEVER, then it didn't Back

Last night I was trying to download the new iOS 4.1 on my 3GS iPhone, so I decided to do a Backup 1st. After highlighting my phone, I clicked "Sync" on the front page/tab.

Normally, I highlight my phone, go to, say, "apps", and click the update on THAT tab". That's how I normally get my backup (I think???).

Anyway, iTunes kept saying it was backing up, the phone said it was syncing, and the barber pole was moving. I finally left it do that and went to bed.

This morning I woke up and it was STILL saying it was backing up. I tried to "eject" my phone and it still kept hanging, acting the same way I left it.

I finally did the slide-across-the-phone to stop the "sync". Thankfully I didn't lose anything, but I don't think it took the backup. (I forgot to check iTunes to see if it recorded a backup.)

Obviously, tonight I'll try to do a back up again by doing the same thing; perhaps it was a fluke.

1. Is it true I should do a backup BEFORE downloading a new iOS or does it automatically do a backup before it downloads a new iOS, therefore I don't need to do the "sync" thing on the front page?
2. Does anyone know what causes this backup locking thing?
3. Any suggestions on what I should do?
4. I was doing this backup before I downloaded iOS 4.1, so is the iOS 4.1 a problem?

iPhone iOS
It will backup as part of the OS upgrade process. So you will be fine if you just do the upgrade.

-----
I upgraded two 3GS's and both gave me an option whether to back up or not. I did not backup for both and am very sorry because my friend's 3GS was restored to factory settings without all contents after an error occurred during the process.

My dad's 3G did not give me that option and automatically did the backup which took forever. )=

-----
My backups used to take forever with os 3 on my 3GS. After 4.0 they quickened. Not sure what os you currently have on your phone. If you are using a windows computer try disabling Internet connection and turning off your firewall and antivirus programs. I had a lot of issues with freezing and locking up of my computer until I did that. Be sure you are NOT connected to the Internet while those programs are off. The other thing you can do if your second try doesn't work is to try moving your old backup to a safe place and syncing again to get a totally fresh backup in case a file in the backup was corrupted as has happened to me also.

If you are using a Mac I can't help you.
Backups after 4.0.1 and now 4.1 are very fast or should be for you.

-----
I have iOS 4.0.2. I was trying to download iOS 4.1.

Yes, I am using Windows. I was actually surfing the Internet while trying to sync. :-)

iPhone has changed nationality

Apple iPhone - iPhone has changed nationality

Please can anyone explain why my iPhone 3G has decided it is French, and will NOT be told to alter its language or keyboard.

It is quite clearly set for UK English and for a QWERTY keyboard - going into SETTINGS - GENERAL - using either the INTERNATIONAL or the KEYBOARD buttons, the settings are quite plain and clear.

IT is using a French keyboard in all functions and apps that use a keyboard - e.g. SPACE is ESPACE and RETURN is RETOUR (plus other appropriate variations). the layout is AZERTY and not QWERTY. I have even tried switching to other languages and keyboards then back again, but it won't listen. What is in SETTINGS appears to be irrelevant - it just does its own thing

iPhone Tutorial
Just to be clear: no matter how many times you press the globe icon at the bottom of the kb (immediately left of 'espace', the localisation remains French and other ones you have enabled in Settings never appear?

-----
You might have chosen multiple keyboards in the settings.
So a button on the left side of the spacebar appears (with a globe symbol). You might have accidentally pressed that button which toggles the keyboard language.

I experienced the same when I chose multiple keyboard languages (English, German, and Spanish) too.

What I did was I went to Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards.

There you'll see all the keyboards you activated. You can deactivate them and leave only English there by tapping on Edit, then eliminating all other keyboards you do not need.

How to Select E-mail Account

Apple iPhone - How to Select E-mail Account

I have multiple e-mail accounts that I monitor with my iPhone 4. However, anytime I reply, it always goes through my corporate Exchange account.

Is there a way to specify/change the sending account from the iPhone?

iPhone Email
yes, set which ever the account you want use as a default account under the mail settings.

-----
Settings> Mail, Contacts ...> Default Account.

-----
When you compose mail, press and hold the the From: column for a second and a list if all your email accounts appear as a drop down menu. You can select the email of your choice to send MSG and the mail is sent from the selected id. This works on my iphone3G and hopefully it will work on iPhone 4 too.

-----
It works perfectly on the iPhone 4. However it isn't necessary to hold down the "from" button. A touch is all it takes.

What is Game Center

Apple iPhone - What is Game Center

Last night I downloaded the 10.1 system (I think that's the latest), and left my phone plugged in to the computer overnight. When I got on the phone this morning, there is an app for "Game Center" on the main screen - not pushed to the third screen like new apps typically do.

What is it? Am I missing something? I checked out the app, and it looks like mostly paid games that I don't need.

iPhone Game
That's what it is. It's an app if you are a gamer. It allows you to compete against others around the world and see how your scores compare against them.

I don't think you can delete the app, but you can move it out of your mains.

Perhaps hide it in a folder of unwanted stuff.

-----
It's a social network game system.

I stashed it in one of my 'game' folders but have no intention of setting up an account; I don't do any online/multiplayer games. I like quickie solitaire or puzzle type games.

USB/Charging Cord problems

USB/Charging Cord problems

Shortly after I bought my iPhone 3GS in July 2009, I had to get a new phone due to battery issues. I **think** I kept my original cords, but I'm not 100% sure.

Regardless, since that time my USB/Charger Cord has had some twisting issues. At both ends, it's like a kinked vacuum power cord - the outer rubber material has slowly twisted and torn. About two months ago, it had gone down almost two inches on the phone jack end, and an inch or so on the USB end.

I've used electrical tape to cover it, but that doesn't seem to be the best option. I now have to set the plugged in phone down at a certain angle in order to charge. If I am holding it up (while lying in bed), I lose the charge signal, or it goes in-and-out.

Has anyone else had this trouble with their charger cords? I could go buy a new one, but just didn't want to spend the money if I didn't have to... but maybe others have had this happen.

iPhone Battery
Not with my iWhatever sync/charge cords. I'm still using the same cord that came with my iPod Classic about three years ago. I use it for the Classic, I've used it for the iPhone and I now use it for the iTouch.

Note, however, that it generally just sits on my desk, plugged into the back of my computer and never under any stress that would fray the joins.

-----
The power Cord doesn't have strain relief at the ends as it should. I have had 4 or 5 of these break over the years.

I just take it to the Apple Store and they give me a free exchange for a new one! I recommend you do the same.

-----
Cool... except that the Apple store is a 90-minute drive away. I'll wait until my next trip to Indy.

-----
Think of it as an excuse to go ogle the new toys & try them out.
:-)

-----
Seriously? Free exchange? Wish I had known this about a month ago. Gee I even threw away the old one or else I would take it even now.

-----
Yes free exchange. But you have to ask for it.

-----
I had to replace my charging cord after about a year of use. Mine twisted (involuntarily) as well. I think because I used to pack up my cord every day to take with me, plug it in at work, cart it home, use it in my car etc. Now I have a device in every location so I don't move my cords from place to place any longer and hope that it lasts longer.

Now I am an iPod user, I have the old "classic 160G" iPod and I have noticed that the charging cord for that device is made of a much thicker material and I've never had to replace it. I think the combination of never moving it and its thicker width has contributed to its longevity.

-----
You simply go up to one of the Apple store reps and show him/her your power cord and explain that you had not mishandle it. Then ask for a replacement. They will do it usually with little to no trouble. It does not require Apple Care.

Sometimes they may record your SN of your iPhone or product it came with to handle it as a warranty replacement. Other times they just hand me a new cord and no questions asked.

-----
You can also go to support.apple.com and enter your serial number and they will send you a new one in the mail and you have to put your broken one in the included returned packaging within (I think) 14 days or they charge you for a second power cable if you don't return the broken one.

-----
Yep, I was visiting our NEW Apple store today in my city and asked the sales rep about the cord problem and he said yes, they would replace it. Nice to know.

-----
I just tried this but they were going to charge me $41.41. I guess I will wait til I'm near an apple store to exchange.

-----
The new cords (the ones without the lock) are so brittle. They crack in a few months use. I have 3 cracked cables, all exactly on the same places - right next to the connectors. My oldest cable which was for my first iPod is still okay albeit yellowish dirty. The design of the new cords and probably the materials used are just not as good as the previous ones.

-----
Yes that has been my problem as well. They are brittle. And there should be a strain relief at the connectors to ensure they don't break.

-----
I tried going to the Apple support page that it's suggested, but I couldn't figure out the details of it all. Sometimes it's nice to just be able to pick up the phone and call... even if you have to sit through the robot voice and push buttons to get where you need to go.

I guess I'll just wait until I make a road trip to Indy.

-----
Go to:

https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do

Enter your Serial # (Setting > General > About > Serial #) & select country (United States) and click Continue

It will check to make sure product is under warranty, then click "Request Service", log in with your Apple / iTunes ID, click I Have read/agree to terms of service and click Continue It will tell you to reset the phone if certain problems, click Continue here then on the Troubleshoot & Identify Page - select Replace Part or Accessory, iPhone System-Wide Issue, Cable, Dock Connector, then write "frayed" or whatever in the box, and click Continue - and then I agree to the terms and continue again, cable will arrive in 3-5 days.

Troubleshoot and Identify the Issue

-----
I went through all the steps (THANK YOU, BILL), but it's asking for $19.00 to cover the part.

Maybe I'm out of warranty??

-----
That is what I mentioned, they put a $19 hold on your card - if you do NOT return the broken one with the included return packaging, you will be charged the $19, if you do return it within the time period (14 days I think), the hold drops off. As long as you are under warranty (1 year unless you purchased AppleCare).

-----
Ok. That explains why they were requesting $41.

iPod - So Much to Learn!

Apple iPhone iPod - So Much to Learn!

I don't have an iPhone yet. It is funny that I bought an iPod Touch first generation immediately after they first came out. There weren't even cases available for them yet. I was definitely one of the first people to buy an iPod Touch. Yet, for whatever reason, I wasn't interested in an iPhone until now. I will be getting my iPhone in October, so I am trying to learn about its features by reading your questions and comments.

It is hard to comprehend certain things if you can not visualize them. Maybe because I never owned an iPhone before, some of the things I read here sound strange to me. But I am sure that once I have that phone in my hand, it will be an easier hands-on experience. I love gadgets, so now I am dying to get my new phone and start learning along with all of you iPhone pros. :)

iPhone tutorials
The iPhone is very easy to use. I don't think you will have any problem. I would suggest that you go to the nearest Apple store and get them to demo the iPhone for you. If you can't get to an Apple store, search YouTube for "Apple iPhone 4". There are many videos that would be a lot of help to someone just getting started.

Ilium Software ListPro

Apple iPhone - Ilium Software ListPro is finally here!

A few days ago, Ilium Software finally released ListPro for iOS devices, and it's ad-supported freeware (which means that on a WiFi-only device, no ads at all...). The desktop companion is somewhere around $20, or $10 if upgrading it from v4 or older.

iPhone Software
I've been using it now, and I was initially turned off my the new "Gallery" feature that sits in front of the Lists, but after a brief discussion with tech support, found out that it's a non-issue as on the handheld the app will re-open to the last place you were and the desktop app can be set to open on your lists.

Other than that, all of the old functionality I remember from my Treo days are still there, though some layout functions are different. Fortunately, not horribly so.

The biggest problem is that HanDBase has finally become a serious contender for me as a general database application. However, their desktop app still sucks big time, and I find it essentially useless as a shopping list whereas ListPro seems to be built with that in mind with three-way status switches and the ability to "reset" the list with a single command.

-----
I wish it had a mac desktop though.

-----
I do have to admit HanDBase is much nicer now and I am using it alot. The desktop sync works perfectly which is unusual.

-----
But the desktop itself for HanDBase hasn't changed since the "old days" and is a pain to work with.

-----
Agreed. I don't really use the desktop other than to move backups to the Mac from my iPhone.

-----
For my use, the desktop is a necessity as that's where and how I maintain my collection inventories (so I don't buy the same book or album twice when browsing a store...).

-----
But you can do that from your iPhone too correct?

I try to do everything from my iPhone. I even use a Bluetooth keyboard at work to take long notes throughout the day.

-----
Tehcnically, yes. But I keep my inventory lists in programs from Collectorz.com, which retrieves the item details online for me, all I have to do is scan or enter the barcode. I export a csv from there and import the csv into ListPro.

At last count, I have over 200 books, almost that many DVD/BDs, and over 800 CDs. No way am I going to (re)enter all of that manually. Oh, and because I have over 40GB of mp3s and "only" a 32GB device, I also keep a database of the individual music tracks with me.

-----
I'm have ListPro and am now looking at HanDBase as well, but I'm a little puzzled at all the available downloads. I have downloaded the trial version of Windows Desktop (on sale for $14.99), but am confused about the Windows Desktop Plus version for the iPhone, which I believe is an add-on, but really expensive. Just what is that version, as it is over double the price of the standard Windows version, so it cannot be just the addition of the iPhone App.

I have not yet purchased the iPhone App for HanDBase, just in case there is a package deal I should take advantage of, but most of those are highly priced for some reason.

-----
I don't know what the difference is. You need to see if they explain it somewhere.
I would suggest you simply buy the basic desktop, and then get the app from the Appstore.

-----
I have wondered about the sync procedure. I have been using HanDbase but when I sync through WiFi I have the option to download or upload files. Whenever I download it replaces the desktop file. It does not truly sync. I must be doing something wrong. I make sure to make changes on only one side so that I can overwrite the other without losing anything.

Could you explain your method.

-----
about syncing HanDBase. As I recall, HanDBase did always do an overwrite, rather than a sync. ListPro does sync only changes. Though I do not know how it would handle some changes on one side and other changes on the other in the same list as I've never done that.

-----
I should have created a new thread. I am inquiring about HanDbase. my sync involves overwriting rather than true sync. I must be missing something. Does HanDbase truly sync?

-----
Okay. Now I understand your question.
You are right. HanDBase desktop does not do true sync. I have to overwrite the databases just as you say. I am okay with that as I mainly do all editing from my iPhone. Desktop to only view and maintain a good backup.

-----
I use Excel for a number of things around the house: books for my Kindle, yardage charts to keep track of what I sew, and one for my husband's DVDs since he has bought multiple copies of some. I'm hoping to move them to the iPad but I haven't warmed up to either Numbers or Sheet2. I bought a keyboard for the iPad to see if the issue is the program or the screen keyboard. I don't care for 1 finger typing.

Do you see ListPro as a substitute for Excel?

-----
Not if you're using Excel as it's intended to be used, to crunch numbers.

As a way to keep track of things, most definitely. Download the app from the AppStore, it's free, and play around with it. The desktop companion can be used for a month's free trial so you can give it a thorough workout before deciding if you want to pay for the desktop part.

And as an added bonus, I've found that the guy who seems to be in charge at Ilium and handles most of the support to be very responsive.

-----
I thought I might have missed a setting. I do as you do - Most of my entries through the phone then "syncing" and overwriting the desktop. I then have a backup and if I need a large screen to view an extensive database I use the desktop.

-----
I think the pro version will allow syncing with microsoft access (much like Smartlist to go). If you use access databases that can be very handy.

iPhone Photography Look for camera zoom on the ap store. Works perfectly.

Google Voice Apps

Apple iPhone - Google Voice Apps

The App Store now has both GV Mobile+ and GV Connect at $2.99 each for those of you who use Google Voice. The apps load much quicker than the old web app, and they appear to have more features. I'm still exploring them, more reports later.

iPhone Apps
You'll recall that Apple at first rejected the Google Voice app, claiming it "duplicated" iPhone features. Apple apparently has relented on this claim and now there's a complete app for using the service.

One of the nice features of GV is that you can set it up so a call to your GV cell number will also ring on your home phone. Text messages are also free. In addition, going to GV using your desktop, you can send texts or initiate calls from them, then if you're at home your home phone will ring to connect you to whoever you've just called. This requires a WiFi or AT&Ts web connection, but I've found that on my WiFi the calls are as clear as my regular VOIP service from Cox. If you want to use this feature when you're out and about, say at the nearest S*Bucks, just use the iPhone or set the settings to choose your iPhone as the "ring back" number.

But, the service still does not apparently have the capability to send text messages to multiple addressees without doing them one-by-one. And, still no MMS service. You can't send anyone a picture via text.

It's not clear what the difference is between Google Connect and Google Voice. Both permit calls and texts, but beyond that the only difference seems to be the addition of Emoticons to GConnect.

iOS 4.1 update worth it..

Apple iPhone - Is iOS 4.1 update worth it, or does it come w/problems (for 3GS)?

(1) I was wondering if anyone has heard of people having problems with the newest update to iOS 4.1? I have a 3GS.

(2) Is there an advantage to updating to 4.1, or should I stay with what I currently have: 4.0.2?

P.S. - I'm real sorry if this has been discussed before. I tried to do a search and didn't find anything.

iPhone iOS
4.1 has a lot of bug fixes and features not in 4.0.x - all phones and touches should be updated to it.

-----
I like the ability to fast forward and rewind music on my blue tooth now!

-----
What bluetooth do you have? I have the Jawbone Icon and I am unable to do so, but wondered if I wasn't doing something correctly. Anybody know if this update helped the Icon have this feature?

-----
Can you listen to music with any bluetooth headset

-----
No - it has to support A2DP (Stereo Profile) - Most newer headsets support it, older and/or cheaper ones only support the "Handsfree" (phone) profile, look for one that supports at least both Handsfree and A2DP (Stereo sound along with Play/Pause), if not AVRCP (FF/Rewind/Skip/Back controls) as well.

-----
4.1 has solved my battery problem on the 3gs. I vote for it. No problems.

-----
I had no problems with my 2 3GS phones. Update went fine, no hiccups.

New iPad, When?

Apple iPhone - New iPad, When?

When is the new iPad is coming out?

iPhone iPad
November 31st

-----
According to Taiwanese industry publicationDigiTimes, the suppliers are completing validationfor the second-generation iPad, which will maintain the same 9.7-inch screen when it debuts in the first quarter of 2011.

"Component suppliers of iPad are expected to start shipments for the second-generation iPad at the beginning of 2011," the report said.

Specifically cited suppliers were TPK Touch Solutions, WinTek, Cando, Cimei Innolux. Together, they are said to be validating "ultra-thin glass-based touch panels with Apple."

As reported last week by AppleInsider, Apple plans to move aggressively on adding FaceTime functionality to its entire line of iOS devices, leaving the iPad as the last device to receive the upgrade. A person with proven knowledge of the company's future plans indicated that an iPad equipped with a forward facing camera is already in the advanced testing stages at Apple.

Though Apple typically follows an annual upgrade pattern for its devices, it was said that Apple could refresh the iPad line ahead of this year's holiday season. That person indicated that the FaceTime-equipped iPad was tracking for an introduction no later than the first quarter of 2011.

FaceTime is Apple's open standard for video chat. Currently available on the iPhone 4 and fourth-generation iPod touch, it requires Wi-Fi to operate.

Battery Failures

Apple iPhone - Battery Failures

Recently, my battery on a 3GS seemed to be failing much too early in the day, and worse without much active use by me.

So, first I tried setting all notifications off, shutting off bluetooth, and putting such things as Email on minimum checking. Didn't work -- one day this week the phone went dead about 5:30 pm. I actually had to borrow someone else's phone to call home; how sad for one who's avidly promoted how great is the iPhone.

iPhone Battery
Next, I tried a double-click of the home button to check just what Apps were running. AMAZING!! At least a dozen were going, using up juice, without any input by me. So, pressing each one at a time, up came the red minus sign and pressing that turned the application off.

Yesterday was a normal day, and when got home in the evening the phone still had about 35% juice left. I can live with that since I always recharge and sync the device each night.

So, problem seems to be solved, I hope. I'll continue testing, but what seems to happen is that if I check my mail the device leave Mail running. Same for Safari when I check google voice, the Facebook app, text messages, and so on.

IPhone Resale

Apple iPhone - IPhone Resale Questions

I just upgraded to an iPhone 4 from my white 32 GB 3GS.

2 questions:

1. Afterr resetting and erasing everything - do I also need to remove the sim card, and if so why? Wouldn't that be a problem for whomever buys it next and make them less likely to buy?

2. What is the going price one could expect to sell a white 32GB phone for?

It seems like a lot of people want unlocked phones and mine is locked.

iPhone SIM Card
SIM cards are unique to the user's mobile account, not to the phone. You should remove it because:-

1. If you cancel it, no one else can use it;

2. If you don't cancel it, the new owner might use it at your expense.

If your phone is locked, that means it can only be used with the same network. That is why it is less attractive to buyers.

Have you looked in ebay and craig's list for typical prices?

iTunes Password

Apple iPhone - iTunes Password

I clicked the tab for iTunes to remember my password because it got annoying but now it remembers it even when purchasing and I'm afraid I'll purchase something accidentally.

How can I make it not remember the password again so that I do have to enter it every time?

iPhone iTunes
Sign out (within iTunes), and sign back in, without checking that box.

-----
When I sign out and back in, it doesn't give me the *remember password* option.

-----
As I recall, when I *first* signed in, the checkbox wasn't there, but the *next* time I went to download an App update - usually after a reboot, or at least after restarting iTunes, THEN it asked.

How's iOS 4.1 and iTunes 10 doing?

Apple iPhone - How's iOS 4.1 and iTunes 10 doing?

Or "How's the water?" before I jump in.

I hesitated installing these updates on my 3GS and MacBook Pro because of what appeared to be numerous issues with iTunes 10. Granted most seem to be cosmetic, but the one that was the deal killer for me was the problems with importing CD content into iTunes.

I listen to several audiobooks a week, many from the library CDs, and this issue would put a major crimp in my listening.

I realize most of the other iTunes 10 are mostly cosmetic, and there are work arounds available.

My questions to the list are:
- Is the CD import issue affecting many of you?
- Has anyone found a solution?
- Should I wait for Apple to roll the work arounds into iTunes?
- And this one is more for Bill B, who apparently a beta tester, does iOS 4.2 resolve these issues?

It seems that iTunes 10 is a prerequisite for proper installation of iOS 4.1, so that is why I have held off on that update.

iPhone iOS
No trouble importing cd. Actually it's faster than before.

-----
There was a thread about a problem with iTunes 10 not importing CDs. I spend time yesterday importing a bunch music CDs into iTunes 10 without a problem. I run Windows 7 Professional on a Dell laptop computer. I have iOS 4.01 on my iPhone 3 Gs.
