anyone use orb live to stream media on your computer to the iphone. Any issues? I see that the app is 10 bucks and I hate wasting my money for something that does not work as advertise.

I just installed orb and found it works great streaming to my tv via wifi and wii. Now I am wanting to use it for the iphone to save time from having to sync.

Thanks

I've used Orb for many years, but the reviews for the Orb Live app don't
bode well. There is a lite free version you could try first:

If you have your sites bookmarked, no it will not erase all of your sites. You may have to log into somes sites again (like Facebook), but the sites and bookmarks will note be affected.

I have an iPhone 3g (4.1) I want to export the contacts from my iPhone to Excel Spreadsheet.

Thanks,

Unless someone knows a direct way, I suggest syncing as usual using iTunes
to your address book/contacts app, then exporting from there as text.

I've had an AT&T cell phone the whole time I've lived at my current home, about 10 years, and up until a couple of months ago the service has been acceptable. For some reason after the iOS 4.1 update my overall cell phone service on my iPhone 4 went down drastically! So finally I made a call to AT&T customer service and after a time I was handed off to a "tech". The the tech had me "reset network settings" which seamed to help. Her explanation was that "all" cell phones have to be turned off ( for at :30 ) and back on every day to let it re-register with the network.
1) The software on a smart phone could do that.
2) Even tho I've not powered my cell phones off in the past, this is a new problem.
3) Over the past week or so I've made it a point to turn my iPhone 4 off every day. With a huge improvement in overall cell phone performance.

You can make your own judgments.

I am going to try it!!

Donald,
Are you or the tech making a distinction between touching "Reset Network Settings" (General -> Reset -> RNS's) and "turning off the phone" (which could refer to just turning it off with the top iPhone button vs Soft vs Hard Reset)? My understanding was that just turning it off with the top button won't reset anything, but simply black out the screen and save some power. What action are you actually performing to improve your phone's performance? I'd like to test this on my own phones.

Dick;
I have only performed the reset network settings operation once but turn my iPhone off and on daily.
If you notice in my original post I quoted the tech. She said turning a cell off & back on causes it to re register with the network. This is for all cell phones, even phones that can't reset the network from settings.

When you say that you "turn my iPhone off and on daily", do you mean press-and-HOLD the On/Off button until the "slide to power off" slider appears, then sliding it to Off?

Because if you are only pressing the On/Off briefly, and the screen goes dark, then you are NOT shutting your iPhone OFF, you are doing little more than turning the *screen* off.

Yes. Switching off and on is re-registering. The process of
registering a GSM phone is an elaborate ritual involving as many
as 8 to 10 messages being e changed between the handset
and the tower. It includes sending identity of SIM as well as hanset
being sent and the same being passed onto the original switch/
exchange ( in case of roaming ). All parameters are loaded by
network into the handset de-novo.

My wife just realized that the small silver plastic cover on top of the
sound on-off switch has fallen off of her 3G! She doesn¹t know when it fell
off. A small sharp pointed tool is needed to toggle the sound without it.

Is there a way to buy a new one (with glue)?

The 3G is out of warranty.

Do a quick Google search and you will find some for sale. Not sure about
how to get it back in there....

iFixit has the parts; http://www.ifixit.com/iPhone-Parts/iPhone-3G#10.
iFixit has a pretty good reputation.
