Interesting question for original iPhone owners

Hi,
I was looking at the back of my device today while it was out of the case (more then usual) and when looking at the two lines of text (below the word "iPhone" but above the memory size icon...in my case mine says "8GB" with a square around it, if you look at the two lines really closely it looks like the lines of text are not straight (more on the right part of the two lines verses the left part of the two lines.
When I turn the phone sideways looking at the text, then it pretty much looks aligned. I'm wondering if what I'm seeing is just an optical illusion when looking at it right side up or are the two lines really not imprinted on the device in a straight line?
Intersted to hear other owners in their findings. It's kinda bugging me now so I wanted to ask other people if they see the same thing as I do.

Are you referring to the second line, beginning roughly with the IMEI number? Using a Schaedler Precision rule, magnification glasses, and a lot of squinting under a halogen lamp, it appears the capital letter height of IMEI is approx. 1/64th of an inch taller than the capital letters ~ FCC ID ~ on the far left of that line. 1/64th is the smallest unit on this ruler. The IMEI on my phone is aligned on the upper portions of the FCC letters, but not along the IMEI baseline of that second line. It's optically insignificant to me, especially since it's on the back and in a case. Hope this helps.

Selling orignial iPhone, what to do with AppleCare for original iPhone?

Hi:
I recently received a new original iPhone as a replacement and also purchased the AppleCare for an additional year of warranty in case I have the same problem on this new iPhone (the home button stopped working). So now I am considering getting the 3G and selling this new 1st gen iPhone. What can I do with the AppleCare I have?
1) Move it it the new phone?
2) transfer it to the old phone new owner?
3) all or non of the above?
Thanks,
mn3

You can look this up on Apple's web site.

Use for Original iPhone

I bought an iPhone 4 and now have an original iPhone gathering dust.
A friend is thinking of getting an iPod Touch and using Skype or some other VOIP system and giving up her cell phone. She has a fear of cellular radiation and she's looking to cut her phone bill.
I offered her my original iPhone to give it a try. Personally I don't think skype alone on an iPod Touch will satisfy her phone needs, and trying it out on my old iPhone would prove/disprove my theory.
What if anything do I need to do to make the old iPhone useable for her? Do I pull the chip out or leave it in?
What's the latest iOS the original iPhone can use?

Group 2B, in which the WHO categorizes EMF as "possibly carcinogenic", also includes things such as orange oil, pickled vegetables, talc-based body powder, titanium dioxide (recommended by many medical organiations as a safer sun block), nickel (the metal), and coffee. Rather a "catch-all" of possibilities, and while not to be dismissed, not exactly a damming statement. If you read the full monograph, it says:
"The evidence was reviewed critically, and overall evaluated as being limited among users of wireless telephones for glioma and acoustic neuroma, and inadequate to draw conclusions for other types of cancers. "
The conclusion means that there could be some risk, and therefore we need to keep a close watch for a link between cell phones and cancer risk."
This WHO statement is therefore only a statement of concern and a call for additional study, not a definite statement that cellphone use causes cancer.
It's certainly her choice what risks she wishes to avoid. We all make such choices regularly, about all sorts of risks. But an iPod touch is not likely to be much less of a risk, if any, that a cellphone,

Question for S10-3t owners

Hi Folks,
I'm seriously considering purchasing an S10-3t, but I have a question for you.
Is there a reason everyone is choosing the low-end model?
I'm looking at the one with 2 GB, faster processor, larger hard drive, Windows 7HP, Bluetooth.
I've priced it out and it is about $110 more than the best price I've seen for the low end model ($399). It seems like the price difference is probably worth it.
Note: I am pricing it out with and additional 8 cell battery to go with the 4 cell it comes with, and there is currently a 15% off promotion until June 3
Faster processor: $10?
Extra memory: $30
Windows 7 HP upgrade: $80 (according to Microsoft)
Bluetooth: $15-30+ (Seems really handy for 3G tethering and/or external peripherals)
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
Thanks!

The following is from a post I put on the forum on March 17.   The prices shown is what the models cost at that time.
I originally bouth the S10-3T with the N450 chip and 8 cell battery from a retail store in US. I returned the unit to the store and opted for the S10-3T with N470 chip and 4 cell battery. Lenovo includes Windows Home Premium and Bluetooth.
I bought the 8 cell battery as I was not sure which I would prefer. The 4 cell battery is nice because its flush with unit. Its good for me during my daily commute. The 8 cell battery is definitely needed for long trips. The 8 cell sticks out and is personal choice if you like the added bulkiness.
Prior to returning the N450 model, I recorded the Windows Indexing results and ran Geekbench. For those deciding which model to purchase below is a benchmark and average price comparison of both machines.

Question for getting iPhone replaced

I have a question for those who had to replace their iPhone with a 2nd or 3rd iPhone under warranty due to problems.
How did you go about taking care of this? I have an Apple Retail store just a few miles from me. Do I go there or do I need to call Apple Care first?
I am having problems with my iPhone. Yes I have all the latest updates, etc.
Thanks for you help.

Do I need a genius bar appt. or can I just walk in and have phone sent back for evaluation (and rent a new one)?
I'm sure they don't deny walk-ins..but to ensure that you get the attention you need. It's recommended that you do. Believe me, I walk into my Apple Stores..(I have 2 less than 3 miles from me)..and you wouldn't believe the customers there with their iPhones asking questions about this and that...! I mean they're all not "technical questions" either. Anything from BT to what case is better, etc.
So, if you want their undivided attention.. I'd make the appointment.

Power Support Crystal Film for original iPhone on iPhone 3G?

I bought a Power Support Crystal Film set for my original iPhone last year. The package comes with two screen films. I've only used one and have one left. Do these screen films also fit on the iPhone 3G?

I used an older iPhone film on my 3G and while it will work fine, you can definitely notice it because it just doesn't quite fit. With a close fit, the film blends right in so with the 3G it doesn't. I opting to wait for 3G-specific films.

Video app for original iPhone?

Is there any chance of a legit video camera app for the original iPhone? We know the hardware can handle it, because of the multiple jailbreak apps. How about it? PLease?

The video on my original iPhone is perfectly acceptable (see above), certainly better than any other phone i've had. it is a shame that Cycorder is not available through the App store so that more people can easily install it.

Info for current iPhone owners

From Gizmodo-
Do you plan on upgrading your now-obsolete iPhone on July 11th? Great—good for you big spender. Here's the skinny. AT&T informed us that anyone who bought an iPhone after May 27th will be able to swap out their handset with no additional charges for an iPhone 3G. What about everyone else? If you signed a 2-year contract with AT&T when the iPhone came out (which you pretty much had to), you'll have to sign another new 2-year contract to score a new iPhone 3G. The good news is that AT&T will allow you to overwrite your old contract with your new contract. In other words, you're just locked into another 2 years, not 3.

good to know! This sounds standard! Good news, everyone can stop the panic. Breath deep!

Is there a rebate/credit for existing iPhone owners who buy the 3G?

I've heard this from 2 people now that they read or heard of existing iPhone users getting some sort of special price or rebate should they buy a new 3G. I can't find this info anywhere, so I'm guessing there is none, but hearing it from 2 people now has me asking the board if you know anything about this. Thanks for the help.

Anyone else hear anything as far as a credit for current iPhone users?
There is no "credit" for iPhone users. However, because they bought an unsubsidized phone, they are eligible for the discounted phone upgrade sooner than they normally would be. So, basically, here's how it works.
199/299 for new customers.
199/299 for current customers who have gone long enough since their last subsidized phone purchase.
199/200 for current iPhone customers.
399/499 for current customers with a subsidized phone bought too recently.
599/699 (future) for people that want a phone locked to AT&T but without a contract (cheaper to take the contract then pay the $175 early termination fee).
AT&T's website lets you check your accounts upgrade status to see if you are eligible for the 199/299 price.

What is Apple's policy on replacements for original iPhones?

I have had an original iPhone since about six months after they came out (8GB). I use it as a daily phone, but after six years, I was hoping to have it replaced (and pay out of pocket). Anyone know the costs of purchasing one from Apple? It was offered a while back, but I never took them up on it.

Question for C6-01 owners

Hello. I just received shipment of a C6-01 from Nokia. I like it... build feels good, it seems as good as all the Nokia phones I've had before. But I have a question for those who have the C6-01. When you look at the camera on the back of the phone, is the LED flash mounted at a slightly different angle than the camera lens? On this new phone it looks like the flash is on slightly different plane. If you would look at your phone and tell me if this is consistent I would appreciate it... I want to make sure this one's not damaged.

Hard to show in pic... hopefully you'll get the idea.

Question for Mac Pro owners w/Pioneer DVR-112D superdrive: what firmware?

For those whose Mac Pro came pre-installed with the Pioneer DVR-112D superdrive, what firmware revision is it running?
The reason I'm asking is that I have an aftermarket 112D, bought from OWC, that I purchased for it's rip/burn speed advantage over the pokey, possibly riplock crippled, Sony DW-150A that came with my Mac Pro. This advantage was indeed gained, but at the expense of living with some quirkiness with the drive, namely the "two-ejects required" problem discussed here:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthre...highlight=112D
This quirkiness has gotten worse since the latest Mac Pro EFI firmware update on 09/27/07. Now if I'm watching a movie from a DVD in the 112D tray, any extended pause (and by extended I only mean more than a minute or so) causes an unrecoverable error in DVD Player and I'm forced to restart the DVD Player and restart the movie.
My suspicion is that this all has something to do with some (overzealous?) power management feature in Mac OS X that's not playing nice with the existing 112D firmware (I'd be interested in hearing any other plausible theories).
Currently, my 112D firmware is at revision 1.06. There a number of updated firmware revisions for the 112D circulating on the internet, PC centric, of course and mostly related to disabling region-locking etc.
I'd like to match my 112D firmware to whatever Mac Pro owners with a 'bona-fide' 112D enjoy, if it's publicly available somewhere.
Thanks.

The latest Pioneer DVR-112D/212D OEM firmware is v. 1.22 dated august 7, 2007. My general practice is to Avoid Apple firmware on OEM drives, it often disables features and is most infrequently updated.
My 112D is at version 1.21. Over the years I have successfully updated the firmware in my Pioneers using the Terminal app DVRFlash. But DVRFlash doesn't support the 112 or 111 series (yet). I wondered how you had updated to 1.22. I know it can be done by connecting to a PC, (which includes Bootcamp, but not Parallels) but I don't have ready access to a PC. At the moment I am waiting for Leopard before going Bootcamp way.
Any advice?
Hope this isn't hijacking the thread.

Display Questions for Current T410s Owners

Hello all,
I am in the market for a new laptop and I have boiled it down to the T410s. There is only one issue that concerns me about the actual laptop, the max resolution size. Currently I am using a 15 incher @ 1920x1200 which gives me lots of screen real estate. I do not find the text at all hard to read and I know that it would be presumably smaller even at 1080p on a 14 inch screen which probably wouldn't bother me either.
My questions to the board are:
Has anyone been in the same boat and actually bought a T410s? Do you miss all of the screen space that you used to have or did you just get over it?
Also has anyone successfully replaced the screen with a higher resolution option? Even a 1650x1050 wouldn't be a bad option. This could include unofficially supported screens among other things. Basically, just wondering if a screen change out would work.
Thanks!

I don't think a 1680x1050 screen panel exists for the 14.1" size.

Gps module for original iphone

Is there, or will there be, a gps thing that can be plugged into the bottom of the 1st gen iphone to allow gps functionality?

Probably not. Certainly there is not one available now, and since the iPhone 3G is out with GPS built in, it's doubtful there's much incentive for vendors to develop one.

Email question for my Iphone

I just deleted folders in my yahoo account from my iphone. Is there a way to get them back?

Check your webmail for your Yahoo account and see if the folders still exist on Yahoo's server. If they do, try deleting the account on your phone and recreating it.
