IPhone 4 Bumper Warning

DO NOT buy the iPhone bumper if you plug anything into the headphone jack other than Apple's supplied headphones. Many auxiliary cables won't work with this case because they won't fit snugly due to Apple's case design, the hole cut out for the headphone jack is too small and restrictive. Just a heads up so you don't waste $30 like I did.

It might be possible because the material around that area is rubber, but for most auxiliary cables, they have a pretty fat rubber casing around the actual plug so you would have to make the hole significantly bigger which could ruin the case. I could just try and find a different aux cable but the one I have hooked up to the back of my car stereo is too big and would be a real pain to swap out. I think Apple kinda forgot about this important part when designing this case.

  • Another iPhone bumper question. Please look!!!

    Right I'm afraid this is yet another iPhone bumper complaint. But I need some additional help or support.
    Right I brought my iPhone 4 last august and has just expired it's warranty, I do not have any additional cover plans either. In late august 2010 I signed up for my free iPhone bumper to help improve my signal issues. I have recently taken off my bumper to discover my steel antenna band unfortunately scratched quite bad. I've inspected the bumper inside and I've seen like a small peice of rough plastic sticking out and a scratch Mark in the same position on the iPhones band, and there are other scratches from the case too.
    Now I would like to know if I could get my antenna band replaced by apple? Free or at a cost? Also does anybody know of an email address I can use to contact apple or the correct phone number as I cannot make sense of their 'contact me' section on their website, I'm from the UK.  An email would be preferred if possible. I have also seen on some discussions that people have had their iPhones replaced weather apple still do this I don't know? So any feedback would be so greatly appreciated as I'm disappointed my phone now looks like this as i will be looking to upgrade to the new iPhone and sell this one.
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    All cases scratch all iPhones, from the Original to the iPhone 4. This is a side-effect of the overall protection they provide. Dust dirt and debris get inside the case and cause abbrasions, there is really no way to avoid this, cleaning helps but can't stop every bit of wear.
    Put the bumper back on your iPhone, it will protect it, and make it look nice.

  • IPhone bumper case is leaving marks on my iPhone 4...

    My iPhone bumper case has been leaving marks on my iPhone 4 on the stainless steal band that and I can't get it off, is this common for the bumper case to leave marks?

    It seems as if plastic contacting the metal band may leave some marks. I know my Otterbox Commuter case has left some by the speaker grilles. This post is a bit unfortunate since I decided to order a bumper not too long ago.
    You could buy a screen protector that comes with band protection, or some band protectors.

    Does anyone have any idea of if and when Apple bumper cases will be available for the Verizon iphone (since the existing bumpers won't work, as the ringer switch has been moved a tiny bit)?

  • Passing the data limit on the iphone 4 warning?

    is there an app that alerts you when you are close to passing your monthly data limit?

    Quoted from AT&T:
    AT&T outlines several different ways to achieve this:
    * Customer Text Notifications On Data Usage. When customers begin to approach their monthly usage limit, AT&T will send three text notifications – after they reach 65 percent, 90 percent and 100 percent of the threshold. Customers will also be sent emails if AT&T has their email address.
    * Data Usage Monitoring. Additionally, customers with iPhones and other select devices can use the free AT&T myWireless application to check data usage. The application is available for download in several smartphone app stores. Also, AT&T customers can call *DATA# from their wireless phone to check their data usage for the current billing period. They receive a free text message with their usage information. Customers can also go online to www.att.com/wireless to see all of their usage information, past and present.
    * Data Calculator. The easy-to-use online data calculator enables customers to estimate their mobile data usage and get a better sense for which data plan is right for them. It’s located at www.att.com/datacalculator.

  • IPhone 4s bumper?

    I'm thinking about getting an iPhone 4 bumper for my iPhone 4s. But will this fit my iPhone 4s? Apple say it fits both phones but I don't want to waste £26 for nothing!

    Look for the NEW model. The one you can order off of Apple's website will be a new model. The model number will say iPhone 4 Bumper instead of IPHONE 4 BUMPER. The packaging is also different being that the text saying iPhone Bumper on the front has been lowered.

  • The other category on my iphone is really high and I dont know why

    I plugged my phone into my computer to download some new songs and when I looked at Phone capacity/usage I saw that the 'other' section was using 4.50 gb. How could this happen? I got my phone less than a week ago for christmas. Is there anyway of deleting stuff on my phone so that the 'other' section will go down?

    what is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    Summary
    What is the Other on my iPhone? Now the Other is taking up 1.9GB space on iPhone 4, how can I remove it and release the space?
    oneClean - Clean Up Your iPhone iPad  
    Reclaim up to 40% free space on your iPhone with One-click. Start download now before reading this What is the Other on my iPhone guide.
    Symptom: Frankly I rarely cared about the free space on my iPhone until it ran out today and my iPhone 4 warned me to release some space. The first thing that I were considering initially was to delete some large game Apps. But when I connected to my computer, I noticed that a "Other" bar was consuming 2.5 GB of my iPhone's 13.57 GB. Does anyone know what the Other means on my iPhone?
    Don't Miss: How Can I Transfer Music from iPhone to iTunes
    What is taking up "Other" space on my iPhone
    Analysis: Some of you may think the Other on your iPhone is the pure OS taken space or Safari, email temporary data. But that’s not the complete answer.
    Part of that Other space on iPhone is taken up by iOS, the operating system running on your iPhone. For this part, this is no way to reclaim the free space from that. However, the Other part of iPhone storage space also contains sort of caches and temp files generated by App and iTunes syncs, and some of them won't be used long-term.
    The size used by Other on your iPhone largely depends on the App you currently installed on the phone. The more caches and temp files created by Apps, the more space consumed by Other. And of course, it may slow your iPhone down.
    Solution: it is hardly to put up with 2-3GB space taken by Other on iPhone, especially we even have no idea about what exactly it is. So to remove the Other, you can try to reclaim this space by doing a sync with iTunes; in other cases, you may have to go through a full backup and restore process.
    Because iTunes is terribly slow and troublesome on Windows PC (Best iTunes Alternatives ), and every time we sync our iPhone with iTunes will take lot of time. So, alternatively, you can use an iPhone Cleaner program to remove their Other files on your iPhone.
    PhoneClean is an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch cleaner application, which is dedicatedly designed to free up space on iPhone; clean App cache, cookies, and history; sweep off media temp files, etc.

  • How do I transfer iMessages from my 3GS to my iPhone 4?

    How do I get iMessages from my 3GS to load onto my new iPhone 4? All the text messages transferred up until I started using iMessage.

    Sorry, perhaps I didn't make myself clear.
    I want to transfer playlists from my iPhone 3GS that ARE NOT in iTunes to my iTunes 4. If I try turning on music sync in the music tab of my iPhone, a warning screen comes up saying all music will be replaced on my iPhone. I don't want to replace everything - I just want to sync the playlists that are on my 3GS to my iPhone 4.

  • IPhone lightening to USB and 3.5mm audio cable

    I'm trying to connect my iphone 5 to my 2007 BMW Z4. I'm looking for a cable adapter like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Car-Charger-Adapter-3-5mm-Audio-Connector-Cable-for- iPod-iPhone-3G-3GS-4-4S-/230753349457. But with the lightening connector instead of the older 30-pin style. I'm using the small 30/Lightening adapter now -which works - but wan to switch to a new ProClips holder that doesn't have room for the 30-pin adapter and connector.

    From Amazon. Everyone can't be lying. But hey I gave it a shot for you. Good luck.

  • Deleted data from iphone thanks to itunes synchronisation

    Yesterday, without realising it, I synchronised my iphone (thanks to this automatic synchronisation service offered as a default on itunes, grrrr) to my husband's itunes account which had NOTHING on it. I have now lost everything on my iphone, including apps, photos, purchased itunes, saved contacts, everything. The setting on the iphone has gone back to basics. Can someone please tell me if there is a way for me to recover everything that itunes deleted from my iphone? I have searched through itunes and my iphone, and there is nothing that specifically answers the issue of accidentally deleting data from iphone due to itunes synchronisation. HELP!

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred via the iTunes sync/transfer process from a single computer only.
    Even with iTunes set to sync an iPod or iPhone automatically when connected, when connecting an iPhone to iTunes on a different computer than is used to sync with the iPhone, a warning message is provided along with a warning message that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first, which must be approved.
    Contacts on your iPhone are not touched unless you select to sync contacts with a supported address book application on the computer which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, which is not selected automatically.
    3rd party apps can be downloaded again with iTunes on a computer that is logged in with your iTunes account or with your iPhone and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to download the app that was used to purchase the app originally, but not the same with music, which can be downloaded once.

  • Removing film from iphone without syncing

    I use CopyTransManager to manager music content on iphone because Itunes is rubbish.
    I added a video using Itunes the other day, by drag-and-drop, and now want to remove it.
    As I only have Apps currently synced with Itunes, I can't find it on my Iphone "device" in Itunes. If I choose to sync movies, to, presumably, see the film stored on the Iphone, it warns me that all music, videos, etc will removed from the Iphone and replaced with what's on Itunes library. Now, clearly, I don't want to remove all the music...why would I?
    So, how do I remove this film?
    Cheers.

  • My iphone 5 is always a hot. What is problem?

    my iphone 5 is always a hot. What is problem?

    Hello as_ramunas,
    Depending on the warmth of the iPhone, this can be normal behavior. The following article explains warmth while charging and using other functions more in-depth:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (4th generation): Keeping device within acceptable operating temperatures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101
    Your iPhone will warn you if it is over heating, and if it needs to, it will shut itself down. As long as you have not experienced this warning, what you are sensing may be normal. If you believe the temperature is a concern, you can isolate the issue by restoring your iPhone as new.  This will help you identify whether it is a hardware or software issue:

  • IPhone Malware

    I recently received the following email from a co-worker and I'm wondering if anyone has heard about this or has more information. I bought my wife an iPhone for Christmas and she's not very technically-oriented, so I want to warn her about this if it's the real deal.
    Your Apple iPhone could be infected with potentially malicious Trojan software because of a fake upgrade download, computer security officials with US-CERT warned Wednesday.
    "This Trojan claims to be a tool used to prepare the device for an upgrade to firmware version 1.1.3," the US-CERT advisory said. "When a user installs the Trojan, other application components are altered. If the Trojan is uninstalled, the affected applications may also be removed."
    The Trojan appears to be timed to exploit rumors that began in early December about new features in an upcoming iPhone firmware upgrade. Various online news sites and blogs cited a report published by CNET France that claimed an imminent iPhone update would feature a disk mode, for using the iPhone as a portable flash drive, and a voice recording mode.
    Malware authors now regularly craft attacks that play off current news and events. The Storm worm, for example, initially spread through an e-mail message that made reference to what was in January 2007 a recent storm. With the Consumer Electronics Show this week and the Macworld Conference & Expo next week, malware masquerading as an iPhone upgrade will likely dupe more people than it would otherwise.
    On Monday, Symantec identified the malicious software as "iPhone firmware 1.1.3 prep."
    In a blog post, Symantec security researcher Orla Cox observes that installing the software doesn't appear to have much of an effect on the iPhone, but warned that uninstalling it could overwrite other iPhone applications.
    "This is technically the first Trojan horse seen for the iPhone, however it does appear to be more of a prank than an actual threat," said Cox. "The impact of uninstalling the 'Trojan' would appear to be
    an unintended side effect. The risk to users is minimal as they would have to choose to install the bogus package and the site which was hosting it has now been taken offline. Nevertheless, iPhone users should exercise caution regarding the packages they choose to install on their phones."
    See original article on InformationWeek.com
    Thanks for any clarification or additional info on this subject.
    bartcool

    It was an 11 year old jerk's prank application, playing off people's eagerness for a rumored 1.1.3 update.
    It appears to have only caused damage by accident. You had to install and deinstall his software on a jailbroken phone to cause a problem... which was promptly fixed by reinstalling any missing files. Net effect on users of mod'd phones was very small, considering that there are hundreds of thousands of them.
    Companies such as Symantec rub their hands in glee at overblown news like this. There are millions to be made in mobile antivirus software, which will mostly just slow down our devices.
    Can't wait to see what security model Apple has decided on for apps.
