Re: Trouble with App Updates

I have the same problem. I had dozens of apps with available updates, and now I have none, both in iTunes on the PC and iTunes from my iPhone.

Clicking "check for updates" shows that all apps are up-to-date, but clearly they aren't as the versions on the phone don't match the latest ones in the store.

This auto-magically corrected itself late last night. Makes me wonder if
Apple turned off updates in the days leading up to Christmas, perhaps to
relieve load on their servers. Just speculation...

Or did you update the apps on the phone and forget. If so it may tell you that you need to update them when connected for a sync, and then magically say you don't when it get to that part in the sync.

Re: iphone 4 and me.com support problem

Posted by: "David Morganstein" drm0223@mac.com   drm0223

Sun Dec 26, 2010 8:33 am (PST)



The third 30+ min. call to Applecare solved it. It was about a confusion of passwords among various Apple systems.

After getting everything working on the new iPhone4, I tried to check FindMyPhone. MobileMe told me (again, as it did a few weeks ago) that I had to change my PW. It included a link to an AppleID website (forgot.xxxxxx). There I entered my Apple ID, drm0223. (As it turns out, what they really need is drm0223@me.com but it doesn't say that AND it takes the prefix only). Because it took this, it changed ONE of the system PWs, the one needed to get to MobileMe. So I could get into MM for a day BUT, my iPhone didn't recognize this new PW.

The new phone continued to accept the old PW (would reject the new one) BUT the phone didn't quite work right. The MobileMe options (in Settings) didn't even appear! After each of several Restores, the MM options for turning on/off email, contact, events, etc. would appear for a second or a few minutes AND then, right before my eyes, disappear, leaving only the email address and red DELETE button. Really bizarre.

I got a MM person on Chat and they walked me thru this, resetting the PW using the full email address as the ID. Everything is working fine. Of course I had to change that PW on the System Preferences on all my desktop/laptop machines. But it looks like it's working now.

I never had my 3GS sync'ing w/MM over the air before and now that's working as well, so I'm step ahead of the game.

The only thing on that appears on that screen is the name of the account. When I select it, the phone goes to a page where you can enter the PW and no other options.
>
> If I delete the account and re-create it, after creating, it shows up as "Inactive". Very odd since it takes my email account name and PW and creates an account. When I return to the Accounts list, it's there along with the Exchange account but underneath in Italics it says Inactive. (My account was extended a few weeks back into 2012, so tI wouldn't think that's the issue)

iPhone 3GS - Powering Off "Too Early"

Posted by: "jiminmanjr" jiminmanjr@yahoo.com   jiminmanjr

Sun Dec 26, 2010 10:13 am (PST)



I've had my iPhone since August 2008. In the last few weeks, it's been powering off anywhere from 20-45%. I'll be working on it, and it will just shut down. I will turn it back on, and it will go for about 20 seconds (long enough to see the battery level is still 1/5 or more) then shut down again.

This afternoon it shut down at 44%. I plugged it in, and it wouldn't turn on for at least ten minutes - when I pressed the Power button I got the horizontal battery with a sliver of red, and the lightning bolt icon under it. All the power connections were good.

Any thoughts? Is this the beginning of the end?

Thanks all!

Although lithium ion batteries cannot be "reformed" as NiCad's could be by discharging them fully and re-charging them, the iPhone's *calibration* (accuracy of reading the level of charge) can be improved by this maneuver.

Go find the article on calibrating the battery. Try it a couple of times, otherwise it may be time to replace the battery. You are "supposed" to calibrate it monthly, but I don't know a soul that does.

If you have used the phone for 2 years, it may be time, but if it is saying 40% then I think it just needs a calibration.

How, pray, does one calibrate a battery and why? This is the first time I hear the of the need to do so.

Agreed.  I'm confused on the process of it.  I've looked online, and I've seen everything to turning off Push and 3G to letting the battery run down completely (which obviously won't work since mine is dying at random levels).

I believe that the iPhone battery is not the type that one let's run down completely. In fact every time you add power to it you are helping it.

I'm sorry I was thinking of the article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490 for portables, the closest I find for the iPhone is http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802.

Guess it is time to have the battery replaced.

You're not calibrating the battery, but rather the gauge. An Li Ion battery
loses capacity as it ages. The analogy is like your car's gas tanks
shrinking with age. Since the phone's meter measures charge (coulombs)
going in and out of your batter, if the capacity goes down the meter is
incorrect. By draining the battery and fully recharging, you calibrate the
0% and 100% capacity points.

I will give it a shot... but if the battery shows 35% and the phone conks out, obviously I can't let the battery run down to 0.  That's what I'm trying to figure out...

Actually, you are letting it run down to zero. The phone shuts off at a
certain voltage. The meter needs to show 0% at that point, which is what
you're calibrating.

Re: iPhone 3GS - Powering Off "Too Early"

So... if I'm understanding you correctly... when my phone shuts off at whatever level (40%, 22% or 3%), I should then leave it off the charger for 8 hours or so, then recharge it completely?

Sorry for the confusion... just trying to clarify.

Actually, you are letting it run down to zero. The phone shuts off at a

certain voltage. The meter needs to show 0% at that point, which is what

you're calibrating.

I will give it a shot... but if the battery shows 35% and the phone conks

out, obviously I can't let the battery run down to 0. That's what I'm trying

to figure out...

You're not calibrating the battery, but rather the gauge. An Li Ion

battery

loses capacity as it ages. The analogy is like your car's gas tanks

shrinking with age. Since the phone's meter measures charge (coulombs)

going in and out of your batter, if the capacity goes down the meter is

incorrect. By draining the battery and fully recharging, you calibrate the

0% and 100% capacity points.

slow responding

Posted by: "Jim Butterfield" jimbutterfield@yahoo.com   jimbutterfield

Hello all... I am getting really tired of my 3g... its slow to respond to all key entries... Either using notepad, or txting, or opening up MAPS.... I have tried the following...
1) hard reboot, home key and power button
2) clear cache of safari
3) system restore

Ive also note that forever when I use my COMCAST email app, when i login the very first letter i touch comes up or gets big and stays for 3-5sec. and this keyboard is also slow as in txting or maps

any ideas on things to try before I go back to standard non smart phone

thx
Jim

The aspects of my iPhone that are the LEAST important *to me* are just those things you can get on a "non smart phone". If they are indeed all you need, then I agree that you should revert to the non smart phone.

If the smart-phone functions are as important to you as they are to me, upgrade to a smart phone with more RAM and a faster CPU - iPhone 4.

Hi,

Does camera+ allow me to edit photos? Put text on my photos?
Cause right now my iPhone 4 doesn't allow it.
