Feedback on iPhone improvements

I'm a log term user of PDA but have switched to iPhone because it saves on carrying three boxes, phone iPod and PDA.
The iPhone is great but there are a few shortfalls on the PDA front. I think there is a forum where users can feedback potential improvemnets to the iPhone software but I'm not sure where it is or even given the numberb of REALLY experienced users around if my feedback is valuable.
The two areas I'd like to see improved would be:
A SEARCH engine to check contacts. As present if I can't remember the name of a contact I can't find them by Company or city. Most PDA's offer this.
An auto answer mode when I'm on the bike so I don't have to look at the phone to answer incoming calls (major safety issue)
I've got lots more, where should I go?

You may provide feedback and request enhancements here.

  • Where can I leave feedback on iPhone firmware errors?

    I updated to iOS 5 recently and have come across errors and bugs. I would like to leave feedback so that way the developers could possibly fix these problems. I know people do these kinds of things but I would like to know how to be a part of it

  • Static/feedback from iPhone when near hardline phone or speakers

    When I talk on a landline phone and have my iPhone on in my pocket or nearby, I get some nasty static or feedback in the landline phone or over any speakers that are nearby. I have Bluetooth on all the time so it connects automatically to my car. Wireless is on only rarely.
    Has anyone had this issue, and if so, did you resolve it?

    There is nothing you can do about it. It is the GSM frequency. All GSM phones will do this although the iPhone does do it more often.

  • Feedback from iPhone on Speakers

    Does anyone know how to get rid of speaker feedback? I get it on any speaker I am near - computer, portable unit and car radio.

    One thing that might help out.
    When any phone is accessing the edge gsm network, you can hear a low pulse if you are next to any speaker that does not have shielded cables.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there anyway to email apple feedback about iphone 4 pre ordering?

    Like many of you out there I was one of the Iphone owners looking to upgrade from my 3g yesterday to Iphone 4. I tried from 8am EST till 5pm EST with no luck all day. Finally I get through last night at 10pm EST and the phone has a ship date of July, I am soooooo irritated with AT&T (as always) and Apple (not always) I just want to shoot them an email to tell about my displeasure, I have yet to find any information regarding any email address's? I have owned Iphones since day 1, and their ill preparedness always fires me up, especially for a $299 phone. THANKS

    The surprising thing about this pre-ordering train wreck is the huge difference between Apple products and Apple ordering. S. Jobs does a fantastic job of knowing how to design products--their form factor, their interface, their functionality, etc. But Apple's attention to that side of the business is so vastly difference from their public interface on the ordering side of the business.
    One major appeal of Apple products is their outstanding quality. Someone in their organization must realize that this quality has to be extended to the entire Apple experience. This is not the first time it has happened (bad ordering experience). If these ordering snafus continue Apple is going to loose some of their edge. And the cell phone wolves are snapping at their heels.

  • Feedback from iPhone

    Does anyone else get feedback or static on their TV or computer from the phone? Mind you, my phone is downstairs away from the TV--at times the noise is not so loud but other times it is almost deafening.
    Thanks!!

    It does not effect TV picture. It common to all GSM cell phones. What happens is if the phone is near some speakers you will hear some interference noise thru the speakers when the phone is trying to connect to towers or transmitting data. No big deal, usually you just move the phone away from the speakers. No harm is done to speakers or the phone, completely normal.

  • Does syncing ipad or iPhone improve performance?

    If my iPad is acting a little buggy, will regular syncing improve performance?

    No, that's not what sync is for. It serves to make a backup of the device from which you can restore if damaged or replaced and to ensure that data such as contacts, calendars, bookmarks, etc., are synchronized across all your devices and computer.
    Given that if correctly set up, iTunes will keep a backup of EVERYTHING, all apps included, you can proceed to remove those you are not currently using in the device, freeing up room in its storage. The backup stored in iTunes allows you to copy the app back if needed later without having to download from Apple's servers. iTunes also lets you update all the apps on the computer, which will then update on the device(s) at next sync. Don't know on a PC, but on my Mac the apps update way faster and in parallel than if I do it on the devices.
    Lastly, sometimes the performance of the devices can be returned to the original level by making a complete backup, wiping the device clean ( Settings / General / Reset / Erase All Contents and Settings ) and restoring from iTunes' backup.

  • Can you help me solve ical synch problem going from iPhone to MacBook Air?

    My iPhone calendar contains a lot of important meetings. I am about to migrate from my 3GS to iPhone 5 but since I cannot seem to properly synchronize my iCal from my iPhone to to my MacBook Air, i.e. I cannot see any events from my iPhone in my Mac's calendar. I am thus afraid to activate and jump to my iPhone 5, which is collecting dust at this point, because if this calendar fails to reemerge from the "Cloud" I am in deep horsedung.
    I have all of the iCloud settings turned on for synching. I have gone to Storage and Backup and hit Synch Now and that update seems to occur via any feedback my iPhone is giving me.
    I have a suspicion that since I was forced to create a 2nd account in order to synch "Notes" to the iCloud that such may be causing some of the problems, but honestly, prior to doing that I synched to iCloud so this inability to see my iPhone calendar on my Mac is more longstanding.
    I also cannot seemingly log out of iCloud with one ID on my MacBook Air and sign in with another without iCloud telling me that I am going to lose all of my Contacts and previous data that I synched up with the current ID. What's that all about? That does not seem like typically brilliant Apple Design to me. Most of end up with more than one Apple ID, especially since the "Notes" synch forces you to sign up for yet another iCloud ID. I thoroughly researched that problem online at many forums before reluctantly adding another Apple ID.
    My environment is MacBook Air OS X 10.7.4 and 3GS with IOS 5 (iPhone 5 with undoubtedly IOS 6 sitting in the hangar)
    Thanks for any insight in advance.

  • Albums vs. artists, where to submit feedback/complaints?

    Is there a place to send Apple design feedback?
    When viewing albums, why does it split the albums up into separate artists? It's incredibly annoying when it's a compilation album. There's a tab for that, it's called ARTISTS, I'm supposed to be viewing by ALBUMS!
    (come to think of it, didn't it used to be the other way around way back in the original version? If you're going to add a feature like that, make it as an optional setting!)

  • New iPhone 4 8gb storage questions!!!!

    My mom just ordered me a iPhone 4 which is in the 8gb. I love music and im basically worried I won't be able to download all of my music. I understand that I can find ways to take stuff off my iPhone and add more things, but I don't know how. I also am just worried in general. Please help!!! Give me your feedback on iPhone 4 and the whole 8gb situation. Thank you so much!!!! :):)

    While the 8GB phone does not have a lot of capacity for storage of music, there are a number of other options, such as iCloud to hold some of the music. While waiting for the phone, why not check out the User Guide for information at http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

  • Emergency Numbers - suggestion for iPhone engineers

    I can't find a forum to make suggestions for iPhone improvements - this seems the best choice - hopefully Apple engineers browse this too.
    When the iPhone is locked and password protection is on (required by some companies who allow corporate mail to be received on the iPhone), no one can get to the Contacts list on the phone. I would strongly suggest that Apple has an icon for an "Emergency" phone number that can be dialled without having to enter a password.
    I believe that emergency personnel look for an "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) phone number to call if the bearer of the phone is incapacitated. If the phone is locked this can't be done.
    Hence, it makes sense to have an ICON that allows an emergency phone number to be on the screen where the user types in the password. In case of an emergency, someone can move the slider to the right and unlock the phone. However, since they don't know the password, they can tap this new Emergency Icon to call some number.
    If the iPhone is lost and falls into the hands of someone honest, then this is also a way for that person to contact the Emergency Number to return the iPhone to its rightful owner.

    You can call "any" number - true.
    However, if there is an accident what an emergency personnel needs to do is to call a person like a spouse or a parent. These numbers are in the Contacts list, but the contact list is not visible until you enter a passcode.
    So what I am suggesting is that Apple allows an "Call in case of Emergency" button that can be programmed by the user to contain a phone number. Now, this number can be called without having to enter a passcode.
    Thanks for the link ..

  • IPhone 5 LTE not active very much

    Even though the Verzion coverage map shows my area has strong LTE coverage, the LTE on my new iPhone 5 is barely ever on.  If I switch to wifi or it goes off on its own it almost never returns to LTE.  If I go into airplane mode or reboot the phone sometimes LTE will return.  I have a Verizon LTE iPad which never loses its LTE signal.  Does the LTE radio in the iPhone 5 have worse than the one in the iPad or is there simply something wrong with my phone?

    For those other than No1x, who is familiar with the current status.
    For those being told to swap iPhone 5 HW or Nano SIM, I can report that neither will fix this problem.
    ** UPDATE FROM VZW - PLEASE READ **
    I spoke with "Robert" in Tech support. You reach tech support by calling to report a device problem 800-922-0204, reaching customer service and telling them you need to speak with Tech support.
    Robert told me that every ticket I had opened previously with VZW was pointless because those tickets only go to the local tower team.
    Robert stated that the way that these issues are escalated inside of Verizon is via their internal "device forum", which is similar to the Community on verizonwireless, but only accessible by members of their technical staff.
    There is no way to reach Robert back again thanks to VZW not allowing any direct inbound communication.
    Robert posted a forum post internally at VZW under the following title:
    "iphone 5 loses 4g lte"
    Posted: 10-02-2012 3:53P ET
    He claims this post will also be found if they are under your device (iPhone 5) and simply search for "lte" in the forum.
    My request to EVERYONE experiencing this problem is to immediately call VZW at 800-922-0204 and register the behavior you are experiencing with them, ask them to add your information to this forum post and ask them to TEXT YOU confirmation that this was done. Texting you gets recorded on your account for future reference.  Please do this in addition to contact 800-MY-APPLE and opening up a case that references the forum post below. Do not bother to report to an Apple Store "Genius" bar or a Verizon Wireless store directly as neither has yielded me any results.
    Per my earlier response above,
    In addition to posting here, please consolidate feedback on iPhone 5 VZW LTE problems to this Apple thread:

  • Mic Feedback

    How can I take microphone feedback out of my project in FCE HD? Thanks!

    You could play with the audio level control and also with the graphic equalizer filter in the areas that have feedback. Might improve it somewhat but unfortunately mic feedback is not something that can be totally fixed in post production.
    Also, take a look at Sound Soap - it may help.

  • (iphone 4) move pics from camera roll to PC

    I try to backup photos from camera roll to my computer. iTunes don't have an option to let you access the camera roll, and I also followed suggestion from others by using the scanner and camera wizard, but it can't find the phone. Is there any other ways to backup those photos? iOS version is 4.2
    Thanks. Wish you all a happy New Year!

    Do you have some other photo management software on the computer? If you do, import photos with it like you would for any other camera.
    You can also drag and drop the photos using Windows Explorer.
