settings -> General => network => Enable 3G (on or off)
I noticed all of yesterday (11th) that my telstra 3G would regularly not be 3G. But today, seems to be maintaining it's 3G ness. Maybe the aussie systems overloaded with all the new people. I know Telstra's froze right up.

    Yes, it does.
    2. Does it have a Video camera or just a Camera? (Can i add a video camera?)
    It does not have video at this time. This month a software update is coming out so we'll see what becomes available after that.
    3. Does Safari and Wi-fi cost anything per month etc? (With prepaid)
    WiFi is free unless the WiFi provider charges for access.
    4. Is the Call quality good? The Music player good? Applications good?
    Yes.
    5. Is an iPhone good to use in Australia? Is its internet slow? Bad call quality?
    The iPhone is not currently available in Australia and the TOU of these forums do not allow the discussion of hacked phones. If you buy a hacked phone, there is no guarantee that the phone will work properly and you will not get any support from Apple or these forums.

  • Few Questions on my Iphone 3G

    Had the iphone 3G for about a week now, and love it, but just got a couple of questions as there is no manual as such.
    1. Can iphone 3G downlaod adobe acrobat/pdf reader/word (pages) or numbers) to see attachements?
    2. Alot of video content on google displays a blue box inplace of any video? which download do i need to view these video content on the web?
    3. I am new to ipod, and have been putting my cd's through itunes into iphone. importing a CD obviously imports the album (along with artwork if found) into the Album list, but what about creating a folder for a track here and there from different albums to make a sort of folder? im not sure if this is a playlist or not?
    I have imported odd single tracks but they have come up as albums?? Can you create folders in itunes and have them list as albums? ie: Best of U2 and put all of your various u2 tracks in there from various sources as an album??
    4. Downloaded some apps after setting up my itunes on a PC, now found it easier to work on the mac with itunes, when i synced up it took OFF my downloaded apps, some of which i paid for! can i get these back again? are they in my account?
    5. I set up address book as a quick way to add contacts to my iphone which was great, i then used iphoto to grab some various pics of my firends (on facebook) etc to add to my contacts. Now when they ring i get a small thumbnail pic on my iphone screen - can i resize all these so that they are full iphone photos???
    Sorry for all the questions, but am really loving the iphone..

    Hi -- all your questions are answered with a search of the forums, but to summarize:
    1) Yes, it can display (but not edit) Pdf's and all documents from MS Office as well as Apple iWork -- there is no sync conduit for files right now, so you have to e-mail them toyourself, then open the eMail to view the attachment
    2) iPhone does not support most video formats at this time. There is nothing you can download to fix that. IT also does not support Adobe Flash.
    3) You can create a playlist and drag just the songs you want into that playlist, then sync only that playlist.
    4) Just redownload them from your account on iTunes
    5) If you add photos to your contacts from your desktop then sync, you get the small thumbnails. If you add photos to your contacts ON the iPhone, you get full-size photos. Most people prefer the thumbnails because the writing on the phone covers up most of the picture if you are in full picture mode -- but that is totally up to you.

  • A few  questions about the iPhone.

    Question 1: Does restoring your iPhone and getting the newer firmware help the battery life at all?
    Question 2: When restoring the iPhone, I have heard people say that you should back it up. only thing youd lose is contacts and texts right?
    Question 3: You guys most likely won't know this...but I have heard that apple is aware that the iphones were rushed and some have had issues. are the ones that they are now sening to the apple stores still old ones with the problems or do they make sure the ones they are sending out now are working good? because i'm just wondering if I should wait until apple addresses us directly about the issues until i buy.

    Possibly, I haven't noticed anything different, but others might have.
    EDIT: What firmware do you have? If you don't have 5A347, then do a restore to get it.

    EVERYTHING is erased off of your iPhone when you do this. You have to sync it back using iTunes regardless of back-ups. Back-ups just remember what settings and content you have on your iPhone so that it syncs everything back the way it was. Much more easier to do this than to start off fresh.

    Most issues are software problems, which will be resolved with future updates regardless of what phone you have. In my opinion, get it whenever because I don't think Apple will make any changes to the iPhone itself for a long time (years, probably), only the software.

  • Few Questions 'bout Printing in Lab Color

    I'm a little confused about how LAB color works. I have a document thats currently in CYMK color mode, and I'm having difficulty finding satisfactory colors. I was advised elsewhere to abandon CYMK. I therefore want to convert my image into to LAB color mode. I've read that converting from one color mode to another can cause layers to look funny, however I need to retain some of my layers... Do you guys typically have problems with this? In retrospect I should have STARTED in Lab... Seems that converting from CYMK to LAB wouldn't be as problematic as converting from LAB to CYMK...
    The key question is this: will my printer (Epson R800) even be able to print in LAB mode? I thought yes, or at least closely... because it has much more than CYMK to work with... it has these cartridges:
    #1 Blue UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054920
    #2 Cyan UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054220
    #3 Gloss Optimizer UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Cartridge T054020
    #4 Magenta UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054320
    #5 Matte Black UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054820
    #6 Photo Black UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054120
    #7 Red UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge T054720
    #8 Yellow UltraChrome Hi-Gloss Ink Cartridge
    Finally, in the print screen menu should I be
    "letting photoshop manage colors" or letting "printer manage colors"? Do you guys have any other tips on how to tweak printer/photoshop settings/preferences to maximize the accuracy of my colors? Would I possibly be better off just using RGB?
    I know my questions are conveyed in a slightly confusing manner, so thank you for your patience reading through them. I really appreciate any insight you guys can give me.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    You can't actually print in Lab mode, although it can be great for certain corrective moves. You have to print in either RGB or CMYK. If you are using the Epson driver for your printer, the print is seen as if it were an RGB device, even though it uses CcMmY and black inks.
    To get better color accuracy, you need both a hardware calibrated monitor - so you know that what you see is accurate - and good custom printer profiles, so that the colors are properly converted to the color space of the printer. There is a lot of information both in these Adobe forums and on the web in general about color management and the proper use of profiles, and how to go about it.

  • A few questions bout EBS and SAP

    Can anyone please clarify what's the diff in SAP and EBS.
    Can i get EBS for free (learning purposes)
    In SAP ABAP is used for programming purposes. what is equivalent in EBS to that.?
    Regards
    Khurana

    Hi Khurana,
    Following are my understanding and only my personal view.
    1. Can anyone please clarify what's the diff in SAP and EBS.
    SAP and EBS are ERP solutions as you know, business wise its just a comfort factor which makes customer to choose either SAP or Oracle. To be straight SAP doesnt allow you to do customizations as it can be done in Oracle, this is what makes SAP tightly integrated less error prone. Both use their own way of programming which is the answer for your second question below. SAP has its own standards and Oracle too has its legacy. For techincal details you can refer to the following link,
    http://oreilly.com/catalog/sapadm/chapter/ch01.html
    2. In SAP ABAP is used for programming purposes. what is equivalent in EBS to that.?
    ABAP is a programing language created by SAP and it is similar to any other programming language. Its quite similar to COBOL. This was first used as a reporting purpose by SAP and later used extensively for application programing.
    For me equivalent for ABAP is PL/SQL in EBS or if i need to compare with reporting or form tool in EBS then it would be D2k.

  • A few questions about the iPhone 4S...

    Hi guys, Yesterday I fixed up the 4S that I recieved from a friend for my iPhone 4.
    Anyway there are two things that bother me,
    One of them: When I sync my music the album art doesn't show up.. I'm running the same iOS on both phones and album art appears on the iPhone 4.
    While on the iPhone 4S it doesn't.
    Second when I take a picture with flash. It leaves a blue blop on the screen..

    As for updating, yes iTunes will tell you when there is an update and it will update through it.
    As for "brick" For the most part, if you don't hack your phone you shouldn't have to worry about it. While there are reports of non hacked phones getting bricked during an update, it is a small (but vocal) percentage. Best bet is to make sure you are plugged into a USB 2.0 port on your computer (direct, not via a hub...eg: cable goes from phone to PC).
    As for txts, go to Settings => general => Passcode Lock...and there is setting to turn off preview...you will still get told you have a message, but won't show text on screen till you go read it.
    As for SIM contacts, the iPhone doesn't support contacts on a SIM. All contacts are stored on phone.
    As for ringtones, just what iTunes offers is all you can get. The list is growing over time.

  • A few questions about the iphone 3GS + repairing costs

    Hi,
    I just recently bought a iphone 3GS but I am not sure how to tell whether it is new or used.
    I checked through the settings and it says:
    statistics resets: never
    minutes called:0
    usage: -
    etc.
    Is there a way to truly tell whether the phone is completely brand new? Because I bought it from someone and it looks new but I don't know if he might have done something to reset the statistics to make it seem new or not.
    Also, how much does it cost to replace the back cover of the iphone 3GS?
    I can not find an estimate on how much it would cost.
    Thanks for your time!

    you can check that with
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    enter your serial number there normally every iphone
    has 12 month warranty, it will show remaining period
    and you can then get to the original purchase date

  • New to IPhone and have a few Questions?

    To start I want to say that I am a long time (25+ years) veteran of technology but am new the the IPhone. My IPhone is not Jailbroken and would like to keep it that way if I can. Allthgouh I did jailbrake it with blackra1n for about 30mins then I did a factory reload and let it be as it started acting stupid once I started installing apps from unofficial sources.;) Im a x86 nerd and NOT a MAC guy. I haven't sat down at a MAC/Apple in about 15/20 years.
    I just got my first IPhone 3Gs/16GB. (Coming from a BlackBerry Curve 8310) the other day and although it is taking some time getting used to, I think I will like it more then I do once I get used to it.
    Anyhow I have a few questions to start off with. I did some googleing already but just want to make sure I understand a few things.
    All though I did the BlackRa1n jail break thing and installed a few apps then it locked up and failed to turn on or something so I did the whole reload from itunes and now its all good. Anyhow.....
    1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Take the many SIP Clients I have played with in the last 48 hours. Once I open the SIP Client and connect if I hit the physical button below the screen the program closes, thus the sip client no longer works. Pretty much most if not all apps iv installed from the App Store act like this. Is this the case? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
    2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only. The SIP Clients work fine when on WIFI. It sounds like this is Apples way of controlling/monopolizing the voice/data/voip aspect of the platform/device. Im sure they would lose a lot of money if everyone did what I am trying to do.Just my opinion.
    3.) Maybe I play with it to much but **** the battery dies fast. Is there anyway to optimize the battery at all other then for me not to use it as much?
    4.) How can I remote lock it if I lose it or it gets stolen? I read somewhere this could be done.
    5.) Are there any other Shells/HomeScreens/Themes that can replace the standard 4x4x4 row icons?
    6.) The speaker phone (when on a call) seems kinda low even when turned all the way up. Is there any way to make it louder?
    7.) I am using the built in VPN client to connect to my works PPTP Windows 2003 VPN server but the client randomly disconnects through out the day. Is there any way to have some type of keep alive set or are there any other VPN Clients that I can use?
    Sorry for all this just thought I would ask for feedback.
    Many thanks for any help anyone can provide,
    SomeOneOnLine

    1.) It appears as if one can not run a program from the home sreen and have it run in the background while doing other things? Does the IPhone not mutitask at all or verywell?
    The iPhone SDK does not permit ANY 3rd party apps from running in the background or multitasking. It does provide for push notifications which can simulate certain background activity in terms of receiving external notifications while the app is actually closed. This works reasonably well with IM apps, news, sports, weather, travel updates and some peer-to-peer games.
    2.) Are there any SIP Clients that work over 3G? All the ones iv tried say they are for WIFI only.
    Just how would the SIP server connect to the cell carrier 3G network? Do you know of ANY that do??
    3.) Maybe I play with it to much but **** the battery dies fast. Is there anyway to optimize the battery at all other then for me not to use it as much?
    3G voice and data connections are culprits. Avoid email push and frequent fetching. See this Apple article for detailed suggestions.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    4.) How can I remote lock it if I lose it or it gets stolen? I read somewhere this could be done.
    MobileMe Find My iPhone will locate, set a passcode lock and optionally wipe all data from your iPhone. You have to be a MobileMe subscriber.
    5.) Are there any other Shells/HomeScreens/Themes that can replace the standard 4x4x4 row icons?
    No. Apple does not permit this.
    6.) The speaker phone (when on a call) seems kinda low even when turned all the way up. Is there any way to make it louder?
    You can troubleshoot your iPhone as described in the User Guide - restart, reset, reset settings, restore. Or, get hearing aids
    7.) I am using the built in VPN client to connect to my works PPTP Windows 2003 VPN server but the client randomly disconnects through out the day. Is there any way to have some type of keep alive set or are there any other VPN Clients that I can use?
    See this Apple support article:

    BTW, discussion of "unauthorized modifications" such as jailbreaking is prohibited under the forum Terms of Use you agreed to when joining. Best not to even mention it or risk getting your post deleted.

  • A few questions regarding my new iPhone

    A few questions:
    1. I notice that if I am browsing a second page on my browser for about a minute and then navigate back to my first page... it's "blanked out" and am forced to refresh. Is this normal? Any way around this? Not particularly useful when on Meebo or when I'm trying to compare movie time on two different movie theatres.
    2. Is there any way to save images from a site or from an email to my phone? I know I can't receive MMS so I thought I'd email me a picture to add it to my contacts and couldn't find a way. I also browsed online for an image and couldn't save it nor add it to a contact either. Any way to do this? I had to wait to get home and sync the images to my phone.
    3. I noticed that the iPhone's connector is the same as my iPod's connector, but if I plug it into my iPod's dock, a warning comes up that warns me it's not designed for the iPhone. Will I harm my iPhone if I plug it into my car charger, wall charger, dock that's AVed into my TV? I'm just really worried that it'll screw my phone up.
    4. I read somehwere I can open PDF's on my iPhone. Can I save a PDF to my phone and open it somehow?
    Thanks!!

    This is normal - in my experience anyway but not with all websites. It doesn't do the same when I have one page open on these discussions, navigate to another page and then back, the discussions page I had opened is not refreshed.
    2. Is there any way to save images from a site or from an email to my phone? I know I can't receive MMS so I thought I'd email me a picture to add it to my contacts and couldn't find a way.

    Not supported from a website or from a received messages. You must do as provided with your last sentence - at the present time anyway.
    3. I noticed that the iPhone's connector is the same as my iPod's connector, but if I plug it into my iPod's dock, a warning comes up that warns me it's not designed for the iPhone. Will I harm my iPhone if I plug it into my car charger, wall charger, dock that's AVed into my TV? I'm just really worried that it'll screw my phone up.
    If you get this warning you shouldn't ignore it. Even though the connection type might be the same, if the device is not compatible with the iPhone it can cause problems or potential damage. There are auto chargers that specifically indicated - made for or compatible with the iPhone. I purchased a car charger that is compatible with my iPhone and with my iPod with video.
    You can alway check with the manufacturer of the device to determine if the device is also compatible with the iPhone regardless the warning but this should be in writing via their website or provided via email.
    4. I read somehwere I can open PDF's on my iPhone. Can I save a PDF to my phone and open it somehow?
    You can view PDF, Word and Excel documents attached to a received email from within the received message but you can't save the attachments outside of the message.

  • Few questions about iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    Recently I got an iPhone 4S, it is my first new phone in a long time, before this I had an old nokia, so I just have a few questions about it.
    I havve read a alot of horror stories about the 4S battery life, mine seems ok, here is what I would like to know
    1) How long should a healthy battery last?
    2) how long should it take to charge to 100% from 1 or 2%?
    On my daily commute I use listen it to music and sometimes user twiiter/facebook. I also get alerted of emails when they come in. So far it has just about lasted just about two days maybe before I had to recharge. Is this about right? As stated above I am coming from an old nokia, which is very dated now but the battery lasted almost a week before I had to charge, so having to charge my phone this often is new to me. My iPhone is really great and I just don't want any problems. I have turned off all extras that I don't need.
    BTW are the iPhone 4S battery issues a software or hardware issue?
    Thanks

    I attempted to read your post, but in amongst all the random, unrelated waffling, I couldn't actually find exactly what your iPhone related question for this "Using iPhone" forum was.
    Would you like to clarify? Concisely.

  • Few questions about buying an iPhone in the US for European use

    We're currently in NY and are considering buying an iPhone because it's way cheaper here than in Belgium.
    Still we have a few questions, hope we can get some answers
    - You should unlock your iPhone, should we ask for that right away in the Apple store ?
    - Doest unlocking cost any money, if yes, how much ?
    - What happens to your warranty, can you go to a Belgian Apple store if something happens to your iPhone ?
    - Can customs make any problems if you get one or more iPhones unboxed in your baggage ?
    Anyone who has done this and wants to share their experience, any other things we have to know ?
    Thanks in advance!

    Warranty will be valid only in the US. You will have to return the iPhone
    personally or via friend/relative. Apple will not accept international
    shipments for evaluation nor will Apple ship out of the country after
    repair/replacement. You cannot have your US purchased iPhone serviced
    or replaced in the US.
    LTE/4G on an iPhone purchased in the US will not work outside of North America.
    Tax, import duty, customs fees are best discussed with the appropriate governmental
    entities in Belgium.
    Be sure to ask in the Apple store for an unlocked iPhone - you will pay full retail price
    plus applicable taxes. There is no charge to get the iPhone unlocked.

  • A few question about iPhone OS in CS5 and CS5 in general.

    Hi,
    I'm an IT trainer and I am trying to introduce my students to programming for iPhone/iPod Touch. (They are Secondary 2 students. 14 years old) The school is using a windows computer and CS5 right now is the best for the class (Not a steep learning curve and a user-friendly program). I know about the problems over the iPhone OS in CS5 with Apple but I was told it is still available for use. Furthermore, we have no intention of bringing the apps created to the Apple Store. I've tried the trial version and before I make any purchase, I would actually like to ask a few questions.
    Is the iPhone OS in the trial version itself complete? Is there anything left out from the trial version because when I tried it, it seems fine however I did not try publishing to an iPhone due to the certificates. Is there a reason for the certificate? Is there any way around it because if there isn't do I need to get a certificate for every single student? (I'm looking at a class of 40 students.) Is the certificate available for windows platform?
    Lets say, I got myself a certificate, create a simple program and then publish it, can I immediately bring it over to iTunes and then sync? Will it work that way? I don't want it to be too tedious for the students to see the end result. I've done quite a few research and have come across people having problems bringing it into their devices. Those people mention about bringing it to Cydia and needing to jailbreak the device. The devices made available for the students are not jailbroken. Will iPhone OS with proper certification still need Cydia for use with their device? Will only jailbroken device allow a CS5 app? I hope you get what I'm trying to say. We as trainers do not support teaching students to jailbreak, so that's definitely a no-no.
    Another thing about CS5. Previously I have called customer support about the CS4 the school is using now and the problem with nested animation when publishing the animation as a video file, is this problem still in CS5? Does CS5 allow nested animation to be published as a video file? If it isn't, is there any way around it?
    Thank you for your time and patience in answering my questions.

    Dear Marco,
    Thanks for th links, its quite handy. One more help required from you as its related to Idsktune. I was just reruning the idsktune on Soalris 10 box where zfs file system used, and able to see the below warning
    WARNING: largefiles option is not present on mount of /, files may be limited to 2GB in size.
    Could you tell me this alert specific to zfs file system, I was searching the mount parameter options specific to file size, but not able to get anything. Below are the system parameters.
    bash-3.00$ ulimit -a

  • Thinking of getting an iPad but have a few questions

    After using the iPhone 4 (3GS previously) and really liking the OS on it, I am thinking of purchasing an iPad to make reading ebooks easier, also, having the iPad would be more convenient for me to quickly go on the net in my home (or other wifi area, but mostly home use) to seek information and also check, send emails, rather than having to switch the computer on all the time and then having to wait for it to load up and also with the iPad, the larger screen would make email, internet use and ebook use more pleasurable due to the iPad's larger screen when compared to using my iPhone.
    I have a few questions that I would like to ask to iPad users, who could perhaps answer them for me?
    In my household we have 2 iTunes libraries, one for my iPhone and one for my girlfriend's iPod. I created a separate iTunes library for each of the devices so that each one would have a totally separate library and therefore the possibility of having one overwriting the others library would be impossible.
    Now ideally I would be wanting to create a separate iTunes library for the iPad, but I would want to add the music and apps, email accounts, bookmarks that I have on my iPhone and add them onto my iPad. Would this possible?
    Also. I believe some apps have specific versions for either iPhone or iPad, so would the iPhone versions of the apps run on the iPad, or would I need to download the iPad versions of those particular apps?
    Also. I have a number of DVD's that I have converted and then dragged and dropped the video off of them into iTunes. If I am correct, would I need to reconvert those videos/DVD's again, as the video size (screen size) would be for the iPhone and therefore a smaller screen, which would not look very good on the iPad's much larger screen. If this is the case, can anyone recommend a good video converter for converting video for the iPad and what settings need to be used for the iPad?
    I also would be wanting to have a number of photos on the iPad. To get them onto the iPad, is it just a simply matter of selecting the pictures I have on my computer that I want added to my iPad, and then just dragging and dropping them into iTunes, then connecting and syncing the iPad to get them added on to the iPad, or is there an easier method?
    Thanks in advance

    Funny you should mention Macs, but I'm thinking of my next computer been an iMac, and using the Parallel Desktop software so that I can have functionality of been able to switch to Windows when needed to run the programs that are not Mac compatibly. I'm swaying towards Mac has I have heard their OS is more reliable and secure compared to Windows, and the need to have anti virus and anti spyware programs on a Mac is not really needed, but I figure if I can run Windows on a Mac then I have the best of both worlds, anyhow back on to topic
    I do indeed take backups of the various libraries and related data for them.
    I have used the Dropbox app and was impressed, but I did prefer an app called iFiles which allows me to carry various files/files types around with me on my iPhone, such as PDF files, Word doc files etc.
    The reason I use the method of having a separate iTunes library for each device we use on the computer, (my iPhone, girlfriend's iPod, and soon maybe an iPad) is because I accidentally replaced the music I had on an iPod I had at the time with my girlfriend's music. So from then on, that's why I have created a separate library for each Apple device, and so far I have never accidentally messed up another devices contents.
    Thanks for the help its much appreciated.

  • A few questions about common "issues" before buying New iPad

    I am hoping to pick up the new iPad in the next few weeks, however I have read up on some issues which I'd like some information on.
    I have been using my GF's iPad 2 a lot and I really love it, however I am dead set on buying the new one, I have become pretty resolution-spoilt by the awesome screen on the 4S and this is the primary factor in wanting this new model.
    With the following concerns, assuming that an iPad that I may buy might have one or more of them, could you please inform me of: any currently known official or unofficial fix, if the problem could most likely be resolved in an update or if it is likely that since the problem came to light that the later runs to be built were adjusted to avoid the problem? Thanks.
    OK- first up, the bad wifi problem that people have. This is the biggest concern to me, as I use wifi a lot and won't have access to 4G, and only occasionaly access to 3G.
    Secondly, the heating... OK this is not a deal breaker, I understand that it isn't a real problem however if it could be solved so that it runs almost as cool as the 2 that would be great.
    Thirdly, charge times and the extra hour over 100%... Again I do realise that these aren't so much issues as just the way that it works, however I would hope that now lots of people have complained, an update would adjust the display to be more accurate, to say 100% only when it has fully charged, purely because I would rather know... Or perhaps have 100% change colour on absolute 100%. The other thing, 7 hours charging, is there a more powerful adaptor that 1: reduces the charge time, and 2: if you are using a powerdrinking app while charging, will actualy continue charging rather than just slowing the battery drain (I read that some apps will keep draining battery while on charge).
    finaly, I have read about screen hue problems, this wont be too much of a problem, as I will be able to check this in store to be sure that the screen is nice, colour balanced and free of dead pixels, I will compare it to my GFs iPad 2 and also the iPhone 4, because I know that the iPad 2 is supposed to look a little more blue to give it a cold feel, while the new model and the iPhone 4S have a slightly yellowed screen for warmth, it's just that lots of people have complained about theres' being too yellow.
    Thanks very much for any useful info on this.

    A lot of the posts about lack of charging is because iPad "3" users are trying to use an iPod charger, iPhone charger or connected to their computer where they get the "Not Charging" indication. A few others had a defective charger that was replaced by Apple. It remotely possible that a few iPads have defective batteries or charging circuits.
    Many of the wifi connection problems are related to the users brand of wireless routers, the router setup, or the need to select a different wireless channel due to interference.
    The high temp problem seems to be when users are charging AND running games with intensive graphics. The display on the new iPad takes a lot more power than the iPad 2 display.
    Overall I would guess that the chance of a defective iPad is less than 1%.
     Cheers, Tom
