How's your iPhone 3G working in the Sacramento area?

i am finally going to purchase my first iPhone. very excited about it. however, after reading the several hundred postings about poor or non-existent 3G service, i am having major doubts about it now.
can anyone shed some light on the subject?

As of Yesterday, I saw more bars on my phone. a few of the weak spots for me are Florin and Greenhaven, I-5 south between Florin and Meadowview but once you're at Meadowview it picks up full bars due to a cell tower on the west side of I-5, sheldon and 99, and my house. Funny thing is that it works great all over 95757 but ***** in my subdivision. 3g seems to be working good from 1-4 bars all over and on most major freeway's in Sacramento.
My major problem is the phone not switching it would just drop the call then switch. I'm doing the reset Doug mention in his post to see if it would fix my issues.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

Yeah, I'm guessing that too, just wanted to hear the story behind it.

Will a US Iphone 6 work in the UK

guys,
i am travelling to new york from england, in early november and would like to take advantage of the exchange rate by purchasing an iphone 6.
i have checked the apple website, and noticed that they do an unlocked t mobile handset with a 16 gb memory for onlt $649
i have checked out the LTE page on the apple website and it suggests that model no's AS1586 should work, however the forums are a little confusing.
May i ask,
will this phone work in the uk on a 3 network sim card that i already have ?
would the purchase be subject to any tax ?
would the us apple warranty be valid in the uk ?
thanks for your time

If you live in the UK, then it is ridiculous to even consider purchasing an iPhone in the US - you will end up not saving a lot and you also have a phone with no warranty cover for the UK and one that will not work on the UK 4G networks either. DON'T DO IT. If you live in the UK and you want an iPhone 6, then buy the iPhone 6 in the UK directly from the Apple store and NOT in the US.
The models are different between different countries and the US has networks that are not compatible, so yes, the phone will work, but not on 4G in the UK. You will never be able to get that on a US purchased phone.
Yes, the phone will be subject to US sales tax and perhaps local taxes for the State you are in. You may also find that you have to pay import duty at the airport to bring the phone into the UK, so at the end of the day you will probably save no money at all buy purchasing the phone in the UK.
No - iPhone warranty is NOT international so if you buy your phone in the US you will have no warranty cover for the UK - it would mean flying back to the US if you have a problem with your phone.
The US T-Mobile phone is not an unlocked phone, but sim/contract free. People have said that if you do not activate the phone with the T-Mobile sim card, but use the sim card that you want to use, so a sim card from 3, then the phone will activate and remain unlocked, so don't activate with the T-Moible sim card, or the phone will lock to T-Mobile and you then need to contract them to get the phone unlocked - that is the difference between unlocked and sim/contract free.
If you live in the UK and want an iPhone 6 then buy it from an Apple store in the UK and you can buy a phone that is unlocked, that you will have EU warranty cover for and will be fully compatible with the UK 4G networks.
Can't really be clearer than that other than saying if you want to use the phone in the UK, then DO NOT buy it in the US.

My iPhone 5 pairs with my automobile except it does not allow me to "pickup" calls using the car facility. I've contacted Acura RDX 2013 about this problem. It referred me Apple for a fix. My iPhone 4 worked with the car technology.

Thanks

HI Friend,
Probably the problem it is because your iPhone 4 and your car have the same Bluetooth technology ( 2.1 ), but iPhone 5 has new Bluetooth technology ( 4.0 ).

Will apple still take your iphone if you change the color of the outside if the phone?

Will apple still take your iphone if you change the color of the outside if the phone?

There is no other place to get the original screen/parts other than Apple. And Apples does not sell parts.
As soon as a 3rd party opens/changes the phone parts Apple will be able to tell and won't accept a phone that isn't original.
You will need to look at other options or buy a new phone at full price and don't make any changes to it.

Will an unlocked iPhone 5 work on the Verizon network?

Will an unlocked iPhone 5 work on the Verizon network? I know this question is probably premature, I don't think apple has mentioned anything about it yet, but I saw that past unlocked iPhones (4 and 4S) would not work on Verizon. I'm a Verizon customer and I want to keep my unlimited data plan, the only way to do this is buy a iPhone at retail, but from what I saw regarding the 4 and 4S I may not be able to do this. I did read that the iPhone 4S is being made in three distinctive models, 1 with a CDMA network and 2 others with varied GSM - LTE networks. I'm hoping this means that an unlocked iPhone 5S can now run on the Verizon network. Any ideas if I'm correct? Thanks.

Honestly I'm not convinced to jump to sprint so quickly. I am monitoring my data as it is, I'm a heavy data user as I watch a lot of movies from Netflix Hulu plus crackle etc. the flip side of this is that I do most of this on my iPad, which I have currently unlimited data on, so I can still get by without unlimited data on my cell, it's more of me not wanting to lose what I have. But thanks for all the info. I'm secretly hoping that apple has redone the unlocked iPhones but I wont lose any sleep over wishful thinking. I'm just quite anal I guess lol. Thanks again

Upgraded to ios6 this morning on iphone 4. Now my email will not work and the settings are correct

Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps that can apply to any iPad issue.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail app and restart. In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
None of these things may work, but without more specific information, they are a good place to start.

My MacBook Air keeps asking me for my yahoo password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password/account.

my MacBook Air keeps asking me for my YAHOO password; which when correctly entered will not allow me into the account. iPad and iPhone both working on the same password.

I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.
