IPhone 3g phone coverage
Wow. Had an iPhone original. 1 bar at home. Just got a new 3g phone. 5 bars at home all the time. Woo Hoo! Had no idea the 3g network would improve phone reception too. Did they not mention that in the ads??? Or was I just not paying attention???

GPS Maps Outside of Phone Coverage when Traveling
*Is there anyway to download maps for your destination using a computer and then onto the iphone before you go?*
Most people need a map when they are traveling, not in their local area.
To download maps using the limited 3G network coverage while traveling is EXPENSIVE.
A lot of places just do not have 3G and using 2G to download maps on the fly is SLOW & EXPENSIVE.
Many places interesting places in the world do not have any phone coverage at all.
So how useful is the GPS function on the iphone if you are in an area where you cannot download a map.
Is there anyway to download maps for your destination using a computer and then onto the iphone before you go?Perhaps you have not done much traveling. I have.
I am also very experienced at reading all types of maps, including
topographical maps on land and depth contour maps and so on at sea.
So map reading is not the problem for me.
Actually getting good maps, that are easy to use even from guide books is
quite difficult. It is not really convenient to have to carry a heavy
guidebook around every where. In some places the maps from guide books
have inadequate or incorrect coverage. In Japan or China it can be difficult to
come to grips with the calligraphy, sometimes there just aren't any road signs.
So a GPS map device becomes are very useful piece of kit. Unfortunately as much as I like Mac stuff and wanted the iPhone for this purpose, it is in its current
form not very useful for travelers.
The Nokia maps can be preloaded (so at least you can avoid expensive download costs) but the coverage is quite limited. Samsung have a new 16+16Gb GPS phone that with pre-purchased GPS maps could do the job.
Apple could fairly easily fix the iPhone GPS software so that you can preload all the Google maps for a country before you leave. After all you generally know where you are going. If Apple was to do this then I would get the iPhone
but until then I will keep looking for a better solution. -
Have to keep resetting iphone to get coverage back? Help
In the last week my phone coverage blanks out. It's all good if I reset the phone but only temporarily. Just recently (2 days ago) I installed the new firmware 2.2.1. plus the carrier settings update. Any ideas?
I am having the same issue. I as well updated to 2.2.1 a few days ago and I'm having the same issue. I also updated the carrier settings. My phone calls keeps dropping even tho I have full service and the other night I completly lost service and I was at home were I always have full service. It kept saying searching and I kept restetting my phone (until the Apple logo came on) and still no luck. I eventually went to bed and in the am the service was back.
I called AT&T first and she said the area of PR I live in has full service so she dosnt understand why I would lose service or have dropped calls. She also said she doubts it's the sim card as I just got it in December. They said a tech engineer would contact me before Tuesday to do some more troubleshooting over the phone but she thinks it's the a problem with the iPhone and she said it will most likely have to be replaced.
So wish me luck! -

i purchased two songs on my iphone and it did sync with itunes. Then i put the two new songs in a music folder and it won't sync the songs to the folder on my iphone. same phone same computer never had this problem before.
In iTunes, try signing out of your Apple ID & then back in: click on iTunes Store on the left sidebar of iTunes, click on your Apple ID on the top right, sign out, sign back in. Then try to sync your purchased music to your phone again.

You create the playlist on the other computer which may require moving or copying of the media from the first computer to the second computer. -

Is the iphone 4 8 gigabyte the same as all the iphone 4 phones
Is the iphone 4 8 gigabyte the same as all the other iphone 4 phones?
so short answer is yes they removed some mem chips from the pcb
it would cost more to make a new version of the iphone4 in R&D expenses to have a 8GB model then just lower the price of the 16GB model
so companys always change as little as possible as those changes cut their profit alot! -
Using unlocked Iphone 2G phone with t-mobile - non emergency calls
Hello - I have gotten a used Iphone 2G phone. There is firmware installed into it and I am currently on t-mobile. The phone is unlocked. I have my t-mobile sim card in the phone....and I can dial out, and receive calls and (text messages) and that is about it. When I make a call it says 'non emergency calls only" but I can still dial out. from what I was told (from a local wireless company) the phone just can't get past the activation so if I can get past that it will work...please help me if at all possible. and will be more then happy to provide additional details with the issue....thank you in advance!
The phone was purchased unlocked (paid high price). But I guess there is a chance I got ripped off... If so, why does it work with different carriers in Sweden with different SIM cards?

Sync 2 iphone 4s phone to the same account
what if sync 2 iphone 4s phone to the same account will the 2 be clones??
Yes!
Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so. Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book. iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars. Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.
