  • Selling orignial iPhone, what to do with AppleCare for original iPhone?

    Hi:
    I recently received a new original iPhone as a replacement and also purchased the AppleCare for an additional year of warranty in case I have the same problem on this new iPhone (the home button stopped working). So now I am considering getting the 3G and selling this new 1st gen iPhone. What can I do with the AppleCare I have?
    1) Move it it the new phone?
    2) transfer it to the old phone new owner?
    3) all or non of the above?
    Thanks,
    mn3

    You can look this up on Apple's web site.
    "If you choose to sell or give away your Apple product, you can also transfer the ownership of the AppleCare Protection Plan. Please see the AppleCare Protection Plan Terms and Conditions for complete details."

  • Use for Original iPhone

    I bought an iPhone 4 and now have an original iPhone gathering dust.
    A friend is thinking of getting an iPod Touch and using Skype or some other VOIP system and giving up her cell phone. She has a fear of cellular radiation and she's looking to cut her phone bill.
    I offered her my original iPhone to give it a try. Personally I don't think skype alone on an iPod Touch will satisfy her phone needs, and trying it out on my old iPhone would prove/disprove my theory.
    What if anything do I need to do to make the old iPhone useable for her? Do I pull the chip out or leave it in?
    What's the latest iOS the original iPhone can use?

    Group 2B, in which the WHO categorizes EMF as "possibly carcinogenic", also includes things such as orange oil, pickled vegetables, talc-based body powder, titanium dioxide (recommended by many medical organiations as a safer sun block), nickel (the metal), and coffee. Rather a "catch-all" of possibilities, and while not to be dismissed, not exactly a damming statement. If you read the full monograph, it says:
    "The evidence was reviewed critically, and overall evaluated as being limited among users of wireless telephones for glioma and acoustic neuroma, and inadequate to draw conclusions for other types of cancers. "
    The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk."
    This WHO statement is therefore only a statement of concern and a call for additional study, not a definite statement that cellphone use causes cancer.
    It's certainly her choice what risks she wishes to avoid. We all make such choices regularly, about all sorts of risks. But an iPod touch is not likely to be much less of a risk, if any, that a cellphone,
    Regards.

  • Power Support Crystal Film for original iPhone on iPhone 3G?

    I bought a Power Support Crystal Film set for my original iPhone last year. The package comes with two screen films. I've only used one and have one left. Do these screen films also fit on the iPhone 3G?

    I used an older iPhone film on my 3G and while it will work fine, you can definitely notice it because it just doesn't quite fit. With a close fit, the film blends right in so with the 3G it doesn't. I opting to wait for 3G-specific films.

  • Video app for original iPhone?

    Is there any chance of a legit video camera app for the original iPhone? We know the hardware can handle it, because of the multiple jailbreak apps. How about it? PLease?

    The video on my original iPhone is perfectly acceptable (see above), certainly better than any other phone i've had. it is a shame that Cycorder is not available through the App store so that more people can easily install it.

  • What is Apple's policy on replacements for original iPhones?

    I have had an original iPhone since about six months after they came out (8GB). I use it as a daily phone, but after six years, I was hoping to have it replaced (and pay out of pocket). Anyone know the costs of purchasing one from Apple? It was offered a while back, but I never took them up on it.
    Screen cracked in the bottom right corner, mute switch stuck, aluminum dinged, and scratched plastic.

  • Gps module for original iphone

    Is there, or will there be, a gps thing that can be plugged into the bottom of the 1st gen iphone to allow gps functionality?

    Probably not. Certainly there is not one available now, and since the iPhone 3G is out with GPS built in, it's doubtful there's much incentive for vendors to develop one.

  • 3rd party apps thru Apple for original iPhone??

    I have an early version iPhone, it's the 6 month old dinosaur running software version 1.1.4. Any third party applications available for this phone through apple?? any in development?? any software updates on the horizon??
    All of the buzz seems to be around the 3G. Hoping Apple hasn't forgotten us folks who helped make 3G possible.

    Yo have to get the 2.0 software (now 2.0.1 with latest bug fix). All of the apps that are available for 3g are available for 1st generation - They have the same software. The only difference between the two phones is 3G network and a GPS radio, other than that everything is the same.

  • Interesting question for original iPhone owners

    Hi,
    I was looking at the back of my device today while it was out of the case (more then usual) and when looking at the two lines of text (below the word "iPhone" but above the memory size icon...in my case mine says "8GB" with a square around it, if you look at the two lines really closely it looks like the lines of text are not straight (more on the right part of the two lines verses the left part of the two lines.
    When I turn the phone sideways looking at the text, then it pretty much looks aligned. I'm wondering if what I'm seeing is just an optical illusion when looking at it right side up or are the two lines really not imprinted on the device in a straight line?
    Intersted to hear other owners in their findings. It's kinda bugging me now so I wanted to ask other people if they see the same thing as I do.

    Are you referring to the second line, beginning roughly with the IMEI number? Using a Schaedler Precision rule, magnification glasses, and a lot of squinting under a halogen lamp, it appears the capital letter height of IMEI is approx. 1/64th of an inch taller than the capital letters ~ FCC ID ~ on the far left of that line. 1/64th is the smallest unit on this ruler. The IMEI on my phone is aligned on the upper portions of the FCC letters, but not along the IMEI baseline of that second line. It's optically insignificant to me, especially since it's on the back and in a case. Hope this helps.

  • Video Formats Supported by Original iPhone (after 2.0.2 update)

    Hello, I checked the technical specifications for original iPhone and iPhone 3G separately and I found the following difference.
    Original iPhone:
    H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP2
    iPhone 3G:
    H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP495
    So my question is that if I update the software of my original iPhone to version 2.0.2, does it update the supported video formats as well??
    Thanks.
    Raymond

    I did a little digging around and found this at the AT&T site...
    http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/specials/en/2G3Gcomparison.pdf
    It would appear that they both support the same throughput and Baseline Profile … with the updated software, I presume.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I use my original iphone for videos & apps only, not as phone

    I want to use my original iphone as a video and app player(not a phone) for my daughter, using my library of purchases on my account. I have an iphone 3G and my original iphone is not being used. How do I do this?

    After an iPhone is no longer activated, you can't install a firmware update or restore the iPhone with iTunes (which re-installs the firmware) since activation is required in order to do so.
    I'm not aware of a way to roll a restore back.
    If you have the SIM card that was used when this iPhone was activated, you can try inserting the SIM card and do another restore. Someone here reported that it is possible to install a firmware update or restore an iPhone with iTunes that is no longer activated as long as the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when activated is inserted.

  • I'm trying to activate my original Iphone for a few weeks

    My daughter dropped my 3G in the toilet- and so of course it is toast.  I ordered a new 4S- but they are backordered- so I was told I could place my current sim card into my original Iphone.  When I do- it shows a picture of cord to be plugged into  Itunes.  When I do plug it in, my computer recognizes it, but the phone is just frozen with this icon.  I've tried 3 different computers and they all had the newest Itunes software.  Has anyone had this happen?  And more importantly- do you know how to fix it?  I really need a phone for the next 3 weeks!  Thanks for any ideas!

        Your patience is greatly appreciated joanr1331! Let's get your iPhone 5c activated once and for all. May I have you remove the sim card, reboot, and reinsert, & retest. Keep us posted with your findings.
    Thank you…

  • Original iphone works but can no longer be activated for phone use????

    I have one of the original iphones that works but I no longer use (as in I paid $700 for it when it first came out). I just gave it to my nephew and my brother tells me Apple and ATT don't support it and he's being told that it can't be set-up as a functioning phone? That the current version of itunes won't support it either? Does this make sense to anyone? Could this be true? I'm on my 3rd iphone version and the first 2 work I just upgraded so now the old phones can't be used? I gave the same nephew a much older flip phone that still works and it has phone service.... Thoughts?

    This doesn't make any sense to me either. Are we missing some vital information or is he just mistaken?
    Until this last November, I was using a Blackberry Curve. I was visiting a friend and complained about the trackball giving me fits. He went to his kitchen junk drawer and pulled out his very first iPhone 2g and tossed it to me. I've been using it ever since without issue.
    If the phone is in proper working order, it should only take a call to AT&T to order an appropriate plan and sim card. The original iPhone is still fully supported by AT&T and iTunes. While iOS support does end with version 3.1.3 and more and more apps do require iOS4, it still affords a very reasonable user experience. So reasonable, in fact, I am reconsidering my original plan of upgrading to the iPhone 4 this month. What can I say? It kicks BB Curve behind and does everything I need using a sweet grandfathered calling and data plan! laugh

  • I lost my iphone (4).  I ended up buying a new 4S.  NOW my original iphone has been found. I had had the 4 disabled and it can only be utilized now for emergency calls.  How do I backup my original phone and get all the contacts?

    I lost my iphone and had to replace it.  All my contacts were on my original iphone which wasa a version 4. 
    I had to replace the phone and now  have a 4S.  I had never backed up my original phone.  How do I download all my contacts to icloud etc so I can upload to my new 4S?
    Right now the original phone is "disabled" and it tells me I have to enter my 4 digit pin.  It also says the only calls I can make are for assistance...
    Once I have downloaded my contacts from original phone to icloud???...how do I sink my new 4 S.
    Also, I have a new ipad and it has 3 G.  I have lots of data in my ipone plan and don't need more.  How do I "share" the data plan between my iphone and ipad? How do I keep the data backed up that is on both iphone and ipad.

    In Regards to this, You possibly wont be able to get the contacts from the iPhone 4 unless there is a back up file on your computer.
    The original phone would be disabled due to alot of attempts of the wrong passcode. If all your contacts are on the cloud at the moment, you would be able to just set the iPhone 4S up with iCloud on it then Turn On "Contacts".
    This would be bring all the contacts down from your iCloud onto your 4S.
    But you will only be able to merge your contacts with the cloud when your original iPhone either has been enabled or the passcode was entered.
    If you have previously already had iCloud on that device and have contacts Turned on, you will be able to just enter the same Apple ID you used for iCLoud on your original phone and use it on your new one.
    Your able to check what content your iCloud holds via www.icloud.com
    If you are unable to get past the disabled screen, then unfortunately the device will have to be put into recovery mode and then restored via iTunes NOTE: This will delete all data.

  • Official unlock for all Original iPhones

    Given that the maximum subsidy period for any of the original iPhones was 24 months, would it be rational to expect that 24 months after the very last sale of an original iphone, that apple would release a carrier update to ALL original iphones to network unlock them?
    I see no logical or commercial reason why this should not be done. Apple keep going after 'green' points, making slightly more useful many thousands of original handsets is plenty green in my opinion.

    Regardless, at the end of the day it is the carrier that initiates this, not Apple.
    AT&T will unlock some AT&T carrier locked phones when requested by a subscriber during a 2 year contract or after the contract expires, but they aren't obligated to do so by law and AT&T doesn't do this for all AT&T carrier locked phones. If AT&T wanted to unlock an iPhone sold in the U.S., all they need to do is send Apple the request if indeed this is required. This is up to AT&T and AT&T only in the U.S.
