    Usually 1 1/2 Hours tops.
    When your iphone is at 20% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    Around the Same
    When your iphone is at 50% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    Thirty Minutes.
    I think if it is taking you 6 to 7 hours then something is wrong here. Either the battery is flawed, the cable or dock is flawed, or something is wrong with the outlet. It should not take that long.

  • How to get my IPhone 4 Unlocked?

    Hi, I`m from Buenos Aires, Argentina and last week I buy an IPhone 4 from a Electronic Store at NYC.
    The Issue is that is locked and I can`t get the sercive and activation service.
    I ask for help in Argentina to the officials Telephone companies but they couldn`t help me. They suggest me find a technique support at Apple but trully, I don`t really know what to do.
    I will appreciate any kind of help and support!
    Thank you very much!

    Cal AppleCare, tell them you just want to know who your iPhone is locked with and give them the serial and model numbers. Then contact that cell provider and see what their unlock policy is and if you qualify.
    Or contact the store in NYC and tell them you want to return the iPhone and get one that is really unlocked.

  • How soon did your iPhone ship?

    Hi,
    For those of you who ordered the new iPhone (5) during the "available 3-4 weeks" how long after you've place the order did your iPhone ship?
    Reason I'm asking this is because I've read from numerous (trusted) sources that the "big three" in the US have lowered their waiting times to one week or less yet the Apple Online Store still states 3 to 4 weeks.

    I have the same issue. Ordered it two and a half weeks ago, and even though the expected ship dates have changed from 3-4 weeks then 2-3 weeks and now 2 weeks, my date still shows the original ship dates of Nov. 30-Dec. 6
    I can walk into the AT&T store right now and pick one up as they told me they have a few in stock. This is agrrivating. I keep waiting for the email to tell me it has finally shipped. I'm so anxious I check it several times a day! LOL.

  • How to stop your iPhone from recording you

    There are 3 ways:
    - Apple does it for everyone (likely very soon)
    - Remove your battery (Hmmm, but how? It's built-in. Exactly, hmmm is the right word. The only way to properly disarm any device is to spray liquid nitrogen to freeze the battery rendering the device dead. (DON'T do it - it will kill your iPhone!)
    - by using a GPS simulator to output fake signals indicating any time/location you desire. Also known as a GPS jammer. (least likely since it's illegal unless you're for example Jason Bourne, they are also very expensive and used by various militaries around the world). There are two frequencies that GPS work on: public, non-military use (1575.42 MHz) and one used only the US military (1227.6 MHz). Because GPS uses radio waves, these waves can be jammed, though very expensive technical devices and expertise are needed for this purpose. Again, these are illegal to own by any civilian but it does not mean we cannot talk about their existence.
    Edit: (4th way)
    - Stop freaking out, use a case with a built-in clip and attach it to your belt/jeans/etc. Safeguard it and always be aware of it and treat it as if it was your passport or something else or high value.

  • GUIDE: How to put your iPhone into Recovery/DFU Mode

    As most iPhone owners will be aware, you can reset your device by holding down both the home button and sleep/wake button together until the device reboots. This will cure the majority of crashes and issues.
    However, there may also be occasions where the phone goes seriously wrong and may appear to be 'dead'. Not everybody is aware that there is a second method which can be used to bring a phone back to life when all else seems lost. Consider it a 'last resort' if you like!
    The second method involves putting the phone into recovery, or DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. Putting the phone into recovery mode lets iTunes know that it needs to perform a full restore on the handset. Here's how to do it:
    1. Ensure that the iPhone is OFF before starting.
    2. On your computer, open iTunes.
    3. Connect your iPhone to your computer using the USB cable.
    4. Hold down the SLEEP/WAKE Button and the HOME button together.
    5. After 10 seconds, let go of the SLEEP/WAKE button (keep the home button held down).
    6. Keep holding the HOME button until iTunes displays a message saying that it has detected a phone in recovery mode.
    You will then be prompted to restore the phone using iTunes. Follow the on screen instructions and your iPhone will be restored.
    You may also have the option to restore your iPhone from a backup, but I would not advise doing this if you think that an app may have caused your device to go wrong in the first place.
    The above method can also be used to get around forgotten PIN numbers. I've used it to restore several of our company handsets when people have handed their phones back in but forgotten to provide their PINs!
    I hope this helps. If anyone reading this needs a hand, just drop me a message and I'll be happy to talk you through it

The only thing I can think of is that the staff who had the iPhones didn't use an Apple ID, but then they must have done as they would have needed to have downloaded a couple of apps for work! We'll call it an 'anomaly'..

  • How To Keep Your iPhone Safe At The Gym

    I have a problem with the Otterbox Defender (or more like a worry).
    Here is my  worry.  I like to use my iPhone at the gym.  I also have an iPod touch.   I have used the iPod touch at the gym, with no problems (it has a very  thin rubber protector).
    I prefer the iPhone because my gym lacks  wi-fi, so I can't get pandora.  Here is the problem.  The Otterbox is  not too bulky, but more bulky than the iPod touch.
    So when I do a couple of exercises, with the iPhone in my pocket, I get nervous.
    For  instance, say I do a dumbell exercise (curls), well the DB comes close  to contact with the front/side of my leg where the iPhone is in the  pocket.
    If I do a dumbell bench, same problem, you begin with the DB in your lap, right next to the phone.
    The biggest is when I do deadlift, because again the bar almost grazes the front/side of my shorts where the iPhone resides.
    Now  so far, no problems, but this makes me very concerned.  I am worried  that I am either going to knick, hit, or drop a DB on my lap with the  iPhone in my pocket getting touched, or the deadlift barbell will hit  it.
    So I have a few questions......
    1)  Am I being a worry busybody or is this really playing with fire?
    2)   What do you all do when you workout in the gym (lifting weights, cardio  is no problem, very safe).  Do you keep your iPhone in your pocket or  do you have/recommend an armband?
    Most people I see in the gym have  it in their pocket, a few use bands...so that makes me thing perhaps am I  just worrying, but I dunno.
    3) Do you recommend an armband, or  is the ottorbox going to protect it just fine if I hastly hit the phone  in my pocket with a barbell or dumbell?
    4) Or if I had the Griffen defender, would I be all set even if I drop a 60 DB on myself!
    ***Note to mods, I decided to make a separate thread for this topic, instead of putting it in the "protection" or "gym call disable" one because this is a larger question, and a very important one.
    I felt if I put in one of the prior ones, already a few pages into it, this would be missed, and for people using the phone at the gym who want protection, indeed this is a larger, different topic.

    Duct tape it to your head.
    If you are paranoid that you will smash it with a dumbbell, then get an armband.
