IPhone 3g Vodafone India users experience?

Hey Guys,
I am in India and am planning to buy the iPhone 3g through Vodafone. I wanted to know what the experience of users have been in India (Bangalore) in terms of service, reception and issues. This forum is pretty helpful in getting all the information in terms of drawbacks, issues etc as far as the phone is concerned, but atleast in countries like US you have the Genius bar etc where you can go with your issues. Whats the service like in India. It would be great if any user using it gives the feedback with the actual problems faced rather than generic statements (No offence meant). Its around 30,000 INR so need to check on that. I know of all the drawbacks, so no need mentioning that, just the user experience in India.
Cheers!

Sorry folks, I was not aware of caps issue. again I am posting my problem.
I purchased the iphone from vodafone india (serail no. 84831yj7y7h). My iphone is giving me problem since the time I purchased it. It’s ringer gets off on its own and sometime network fails and it hangs. Home button responds very late. Earlier the problem was not so frequent but since last year and a half the frequency of this problem increased. I have become a laughing stock with my friends and family.
Every possible solution was tried by vodafone but of no help. As earlier Apple had arrangement with Vodafone for service in india.
Now, as Apple have started giving service to iphone in India, I approached Apple they asked me to pay Rs10,700/- for replacement of a defective piece, which is exorbitant because apple has launched iphone 3G in india for Rs19000/-. I would have agreed to pay the amount if they were to replace with iphone 4.
I am a patron of apple owning macbook, ipad2, ipod.
I feel cheated first being delivered with a defected piece,then being asked for such exorbitant amount for replacement.
I have called the customer care and vodafone but no one hasany answer. I have lost hope. Now i have no choice but to sell it insecond hand market and by some other brand handset.
No one listening what to do.

Iphone 4 bought from apple uk and using it on vodafone india

Hi Apple Uk team
I bought a Iphone 4 from Apple UK - via a website shopyourworld.com - which ships the phones to India from Apple UK.
I received the phone and have set it up with my Indian SIM - mobile no. (removed for security) , however the phone says that "Restriced network - Your selected cellular network is restricted. You can choose different network in settings" and also says " Waiting activation"
I was using a iphone 3gs on Vodafone India earlier and everything is fine about the SIM I am using.
Infact on this Iphone 4 , I am able to browse the Edge network and check mails etc, but I cant make phone calls ( it shows Zero Signals on Vodafone India network) or send smses.
Can you please help me on how to sort this issue out , the phones IMEI Number is (removed for security)
Let me know if I can help you with anything else ?
thanks

Im assuming that you have cut down your sim to a micro sim. If you cut any areas of the metal contact that may cause some abstraction or damage, making the iPhone not able to fully function. Make sure that the metal area of the micro sim card is not damaged. If not, connect the iPhone to your computer and open iTunes to activate the iPhone. If it is unlocked it would ask you to register the iPhone and you will see the home screen on the iPhone. IF THIS DOES NOT WORK YOU MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE CONTACTS OF THE SIM CARD RESULTING IN THE IPHONE NOT BEING ABLE TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY.

Vodafone India - iPhone activation could not be done?

I completed my iPhone 4S contract with AT&T USA and now moved to India. I got a Vodafone sim card since I was originally using the carrier, and tried to use it on my iPhone. When I did so, the phone started up and asked for language selection, country selection and then went to a screen that said "Activating Your iPhone". It does not go past this screen at all. It fails to activate it.
I called up AT&T and also Apple Support. They say there is nothing on their end at all. Vodafone customer care representatives are not familiar with iPhone, but based on my discussion with AT&T and Apple support, I guess that this has something to do from Vodafone India's side. Any help here is appreciated. I do not wish to jail break my phone for any reason.

Did you get the phone unlocked by AT&T before you left for India? If not, then it will only work with an AT&T SIM. AT&T will unlock the phone for current or former customers who have completed the terms of their contract, or who have paid the early termination fee, or who purchase a no commitment phone and can provide proof of purchase.
I don't see anywhere in your description of events that the phone is unlocked... In fact, it appears that the phone is still under contract.

Why iphone not in india with carrier locked like vodafone india, airtel etc.

Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

They do.
Standby = press the Power button
Power off = Press and hold Power button then slide the red power off slider.
Reset = Press and hold both Reset adn Home till you see the Apple logo.
This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.
Because it is better to not push the power button and more enjoyable to not push it?

Can i use/ activate factory unlocked iPhone 5S in india without SIM

Hello,
I am planning to buy iPhone 5S. I am a blackberry 9900 users
Can i use/ activate factory unlocked iPhone 5S in india without SIM (Purchasing in India).
I need time some time to transfer data from BlackBerry to iPhone 5S.
Thanks.

Yes. it's Factory unlocked iPhone 5S gold.
Problem is...
i have one sim (big for for BB9900). And iPhone 5S uses smaller...
Vodafone India will give me free nano sim, i will take 4-5 hours to work that SIM....
My biggest concern is Address Book (Phone book), Password Keeper (password manager), Task Jot (GTD app)
I need to manually enter all this data in iPhone 5S, there is no standard converter or transfer tool...
existing ones freak out and miss lot of data....
i will first enter all data and get a nano sim. this will take more than 2 weeks...
so i thought if iPhone 5S can be switched on then i can enter data in free time.

Re: My iMessage still says "Waiting for activation..." Jun 17, 2012 10:04 PM (in response to bradfromwinnipeg)
Hi All,
This problem is solved for me, with some help from the carriers. At last
Let me describe my situation once again.
I am from India, where the official iPhone carriers are Airtel and Aircel.
I have two prepaid connections - One from Airtel and one from Reliance GSM
Whenever I try to activate iMessage from my Reliace SIM, it shows activation unsuccessful, the the receive at shows my email ID only.
But whenever I try activate it using Airtel SIM, it activates just fine. But since my primary connection is the Reliance one, I wanted it to get activated for Reliance.
I have tried every tweaks/restore etc mentioned in this discussion, but nothing worked.
The solution:
This does not require any jailbreak/restore. Just a little help from the carrier.
For all reliance GSM customers in India, you can just try to activate in again. I think they have solved it for all customers.
I was almost lost hope of activating imeesage on Reliance. But then one of my friends bought a new iphone (4S). He had a docomo connection, and he also had this same issue. But using his contacts in docomo, he enabled some trace in his connection, and found out that the phone was trying to send SMS to a UK number (short code), which is blocked by their RA team.
This is that magic number : 00445773142076
So from him, I got the number. I raised a complaint with Reliance.
The complaint had nothing about imessage, but it said: "I am unable to send international SMS to the number 00445773142076, even after having sufficient balance and an active SMS plan"
So they have done some 'unblocking' and called me this morning and asked to try again 'sending sms to the same number' . I went to settings and activated imessage and facetime/ Thats it !!!!.
A big thanks to Reliance GSM support for the quick solution.
For anyone on Reliance GSM in India, just try activating it now.
For others, log a complaint with the carrier that "you want to send SMS to the number 00445773142076.
Thanks all

Z10 User Experience

So, here my user experience with BB Z10 which I have as replacement for previous model like Bold, 9900 in a business environment with BBEXS
1. The camera is broken after one day (posted in topic "Camera cannot start")
2. The Z10 caused by OS10 cannot be connected with the existing infrastructure of BBEXS, an upgrade would be needed. Since I am the first one in the company with that phone, do you really believe, that companies want to switch a running system ???? I do not think that it was a good idea to loose the compatibility here !
3. Running time - after 5 years of Smartphones ala iPhone and the experience of BB with phones since a decade or longer, do you really think, the current running time is sufficient? I do not use FB or chatting all day long, but after 12 hours I need a recharge. The previous models and the second BB I have, the battery remain 2-3 days . Yes, I have two active phones because of my changing workplace between Asia and Europe
4. the other implemented ideas are nice and an evolution of the handling - I never had iPhone so I do not compare in that way. But, you should have also guidelines for apps - sometimes, symbols are so small, to hit them is not a nice thing.
5. A possible exchange (see point 1) will take a couple of days - you should educate providers, that BB are still mostly used by business guys (also women so, should I leave my phone there and wait for days or what ??? BB on the other side, should provide quick and easy replacement. Hey Guys, I have read that some people think, the Z10 is your last chance to keep on track with the development of phones. With all the things above, why should I use BB ?? I also can use Samsung or iPhone when the integration into existing infrastructures is not possible
Thanks for your attention

HI Team, Recently One week back I bought a new iphone 5 from India. They have given me a used mobile which has a different IMEI number when compared to the IMEI number present on the box. Please let me know how to proceed further

When you went back to the place where you purchased this phone, & asked them, what did they say?
No one here can help you with this, nor can/will Apple. You need to take this up with whoever you purchased this phone from.

I have an iPhone 5 from India. I am going to USA for studying. Can I use the same iPhone over there or I will have to buy a new one?

If officially unlocked, you can purchase a sim from one of the two nationwide GSM carriers, AT&T or T-Mobile. However, AFAIK, none of the carriers in India offer unlocking for the iPhone. Thus, if your phone is carrier locked, the only way it will work in the US is roaming...that would cost a fortune.
So, if you have a carrier locked iPhone, leave it home or sell it before you come to the US, then purchase an officially unlocked iPhone, from Apple, when you get to the US. You'll be able to use that phone in India when you go back.

Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
Thanks!

What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

A user experience for CP5(with 6 issues)

Hi respected Adobe team,
I am a CP5 user for 2months. After using CP5 for a part of time, I got some user experience to share with you.
1. I published a CP project as a .swf with 1280*1024. When I watched this .swf as other dimension (except 1280*1024),some mess line will appear in the video.
The video with mess line:
The correct video:
2. I think CP5 can publish CP project as a .flv, but I don’t know how to? In this window I don’t know how to add a server to publish .flv file. .flv file is very useful for me, so could you help me?
3. Why .f4v file’s dimension need less than 1024*768? If I had a 1280*1024 CP project and I wanted to publish it as a .f4v file, I have to compress this project. As the result of compress is mess lines appear in the video.
4. When I published a CP project as a .swf, sometimes this sentence appear (your computer does not have sufficient memory resource to publish your file).
I had some information in this issue. This project was created in CP5. Whatever how long time I open this project, when I publish it this dialog will appear. In my opinion, if the CP project had a long time video (much video information), the chances of this dialog’s appear will grow up. But if I change some setting maybe this dialog will not appear.
In this setting the dialog appeared:
In this setting the dialog didn’t be appeared:
5. When I import a .swf to Adobe Flash Catalyst CS5, the .swf can’t be displayed normally. And I tried to analyze a .swf(about 2 min long) by a tool, the result is the .swf just have 37 frames. The strangest point is more than 90% video content is in the 35th frame. Other 36 frames almost have nothing. I don’t know why.
6. When I recording a long time video, CP cut the video as many slides automatically. Sometime it makes me a little uncomfortable.
In this CP project, I recorded this video at a heat. But CP cut it automatically (become 18 slides).
At last, I have an advice for CP. If we can modify the video part in every part, it will be great! Actually, I am a big fan for Adobe productions. So wish a better CP version (maybe CP 6?). Thank you!

Glad to make friends with you!

Hi Nick,
I'm sorry to note that you are facing these issues with Captivate 5. While many of the issues you've reported probably have a workaround (I've listed some follow-up actions below), one issue we've had difficulty reproducing is the 'out of memory' issue when you publish. Can we schedule a conference call with a Connect session to investigate this further. Please mail me at- shamer at adobe dot com with details on the geo you are located in and some convienet time slots for the call.
Regards,
Shameer

The other issues:
>>
1. I published a CP project as a .swf with 1280*1024. When I watched this .swf as other dimension (except 1280*1024),some mess line will appear in the video.
Can you check if this is an FMR swf (does the video camera icon appear on your Cp slides in the film strip/ thumnails? In that case there will be some lines observed with resizing.
2. I think CP5 can publish CP project as a .flv, but I don’t know how to? In this window I don’t know how to add a server to publish .flv file. .flv file is very useful for me, so could you help me?
You cannot publish the Cp project as an FLV. You publish as an F4V file. You then have to manualy upload this on to a streaming server (if that is what you are attempting).
3. Why .f4v file’s dimension need less than 1024*768? If I had a 1280*1024 CP project and I wanted to publish it as a .f4v file, I have to compress this project. As the result of compress is mess lines appear in the video.
This is a limitation from the way we use codecs for F4V. We are currently investigating this issue.
6. When I recording a long time video, CP cut the video as many slides automatically. Sometime it makes me a little uncomfortable.
In this CP project, I recorded this video at a heat. But CP cut it automatically (become 18 slides).
We can look at this issue also in our connect session, but I believe your auto FMR might be getting triggered in some scenarios, hence the number of slides varies.
