I have the Verizon iPhone in hand! - need advice
I'm not going to lie. I'm not an Apple guy, in fact I've always been a diehard msft person. Until I had the opportunity to beta test the iPhone for Verizon (i've had it a few days now). I'm in love - already planning on getting an iPad to complement it.
First things first, where I as a recent convert need your advice:
1. What's the best protective iPhone case?
2. What other "must have" accessories to the iPhone would experienced users highly recommend?
3. What are "must have" apps? I've got fb and tw so far. What do you guys use the most?
I understand I could probably answer these questions from searching through the forum for a bit, however with the flood of verizon users surely to come, this post may prove to be a good starting point for all newbie's like myself.

Shazam apparently now only allows you to "tag" 5 songs per month in the free version. Try SoundHound instead, which is free and works quite well in my testing. It has not failed to identify one song, no matter how obscure or poorly-sung (or even hummed!), in my limited testing since I got my phone yesterday.
BTW, Hubie, welcome to the Apple world!

I have a verizon iphone 5c and I took out the SIM card just being curious and put it back in, now I can only use my phone on wifi and I can't use 4G or LTE strictly wifi. How can I fix this?
Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? If that doesn't work, try resetting the network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
If that fails, you may possibly have damaged the SIM. Verizon will need to give you a new one.
Best of luck. -
I have a 3g iPhone and I need to know how to delete old photos. Need to free up space and there is no clear way to delete these photos!! Can someone please let me know how to get rid of these pictures!!!! Help!!!
There are a number of ways to delete pictures from the Camera Roll. One is to open Camera Roll in the thumbnail view, tap the arrow button (top right), tap all the pictures you want to delete, tap the Delete button ant the bottom. Photo Library pictures are deleted by unchecking Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, followed by syncing your phone.

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

I have a verizon IPhone and i can't figure out how to get my ringtones from the app to iTunes, my account doesn't have a ringtone section in the liRingtone Folder?brary, how do you enable the ringtone folder?
Edit > Preferences. Select the check box for Ringtones, this will add them to the listing in iTunes.
Not sure that really answers your question though. -

Can you explain exactly what the message says?
Do you have its serial number? If you do, type it in the following web page to determine your service and support options:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
If you do cannot find a serial number on the iPhone you can find it stored in your last iTunes backup:
Open iTunes on the computer you used to sync the iPad and select Preferences…from the iTunes menu. (In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
Select the Devices pane. Position the cursor over any of its backups. The iPad's serial number will appear in a popup window.

I currently have a verizon iphone 5,but i want to switch to another carrier,the other carrier says the phone must be unlocked.....SO ARE VERIZON IPHONE 5 UNLOCKED?
Not true. Verizon no longer carrier locks it's phones. The iphone 5 is the first model with bands for domestic GSM included in its firmware.
Verizon iPhone 5 won’t ever be locked, most likely due to FCC agreements | 9to5Mac -

What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

I need help knowing this for my iphone drops the wifi and knowing were the antenna is could help thx :)
To be honest, When the verizon iphone first came out, I thought it would be the most talked about event in the tech world but the further we get, the more we see how far back the verizon iphone really is. I cancelled my att contract early, paid 375 dollars to do so and what do I get in return? an os that is sub standard and data that moves slower than my pet turtle, nick.
Why are we not recieving the latest and greatest features to iOS? why do we still not have the nitro safari browser? and why can I test drive iCloud beta with all my other iOS and mac osx devices except for my verizon iphone? Yes, it's not entirely verizon's fault but as america's largest network, you would think vzn would take some kind of action to help bring it's customers what they deserve and are paying for. ANY WHY DOES MY FRIEND WHO HAS AN ANDROID(GOD, I HATE THAT STUPID GREEN CHARACTER) GET TWICE THE DATA SPEEDS AS ME WHEN HE'S ALSO ON VERIZON??? I feel my data usage is being throttled. And if that's true, verizon should really allow us out of our contracts without fee because I was not advised my data, which is already slow to start, would be slowed down even further because the carrier is worried their network might overload. This is how vzn handles avoiding ATT's woes? not by having a better network that can handle heavy volume? WOW WAS I MISLED. I can't believe im saying this but att is looking better and better everyday. Not to mention their new unlimited any mobile plan that could save me alot of money every month.
At least, apple or vzn should issue a statement of some sort so their customers at least know what to expect in the near future regarding features and updates. -
I have the 4s Iphone, the ability to add invitees to an event in my calendar has disappeared. How do I get it back? Why and when did it disppear? Did an update take it away?
you don't need to use iTunes to restore your old phone to factory settings.
Just go into settings on your old iPhone and reset .. it will take it back to factory set-up with the cable showing on the front of the screen. All your content will be permanently erased from the old iPhone. -
I have the new iphone and thought I could download Netflix but only found "Netflix Instant's Best Movies" in the apps. I pay for Netflix monthly. Is it not possible to download it here and use it on the iPhone? Insight appreciated.

The iPhone is working, as designed and advertised. In this case, the user failed to educate themselves properly, either by proper research or asking the right questions, before purchasing the device.
I understand that the OP failed to do research. But then, I wasn't replying to the OP. I was replying to Chris. I have Verizon. I can talk and use data at the same time with my Droid Maxx. Therefore, the problem is not just with the network. It would be technically possible for an iPhone to do that on Verizon/Sprint if Apple had chosen to use a different chip, such as the kind other phone manufacturers have elected to use.
Of course, this is probably all irrelevant to the OP's issue. It was merely a point of clarification, especially for those people who are used to being able to use both voice and data at the same time on Verizon. When they switch to an iPhone, they are often surprized at the limitation.
Best of luck. -
HT4759 i have a regular iphone 4 which needs to be updated and i need help
i have a regular iphone 4 and need to update it , im having trouble can someone help me
No, it won't ruin the battery. You can stop/start charging iPhone batteries whenever you want, although it is better to give it a full charge the very first time so that the charging cycle starts fully.

I have the Verizon Pantech Jetpack MHS291L mi-fi. Will it charge when tethered?
I have the Verizon Pantech Jetpack MHS291L mi-fi. Will it charge when tethered to a laptop or router? Do I need to change it back to the Charging setting to get it to charge? The main question is can I use it in its tethered setting and have it charge through the USB connection at the same time?
USB cords come in two flavors, data and no data. A normal USB cord will provide a full data connection between the devices it is connected to, as is often the purpose of USB. There are also USB cords that are power only or no data whose purpose is specifically charging devices only. If you connect a device with a power only USB cord then your devices will charge but will not be able to communicate to each other.
We used to work around issues like this on the forum by suggesting that folks purchase specific power only dongles for their Jetpacks. I remember lots of threads where people contributed steps on how to splice and disable the data connection on a USB cable just to use the charging features without interfering with the computer. This was more of an necessity on previous Jetpacks when the tethering feature was not quite working as expected. Thankfully the industry has caught up and improved on this limitation so we don't need to worry about it anymore.
Regarding your question, the answer will depend on your USB cable. At the very least your jetpack will charge while USB connected. If the proper connection is available then your Jetpack will attempt to tether and communicate over the USB cable too. You will have to experiment and decide if you want the connected device to attempt to download and install drivers to leverage the data connection or not. If not then revert back to a power only USB connection.
