Israeli 3G S iPhone (with Hebrew support) + iOS4

Hi everybody ^_^
I've got the 3G S iPhone couple of days ago (still don't have 4G in Israel). The sale person in the cell company service center told me NOT TO update a OS (I have 3.1.3 installed), because it could delete Hebrew font support or freeze iPhone while using some Hebrew language applications. He also said that if I'll update and something will go wrong, it'll be my problem, and I could get it fixed\get new phone for a fee (up to 250$, which is not good at all).
Why can't I upgrade original, not modded hardware, with original not modded software?
I can cope with not being able to type in Hebrew, since I use English, mostly, but I don't want to brick this expensive piece of electronics and pay for it...
Please advise ^_^

Are you totally sure your phone was not modded in any way, including apps not from the app store, by the people you bought it from?
No, I'm not, but since Orange is the biggest cell operator in Israel (I think it's a branch or partner company of France Orange), it's hard to believe that they mess with something like that. Except locking a phone for their Sim card and adding some of their applications.

On the one hand, it's hard to imagine why a standard phone could not be updated, since iOS 4 supports Hebrew, as you can see from the tech specs.
Hope you right, because I'm paying 860$ for the phone and another 23$ a month for insurance... If I won't be able to even upgrade its firmware, it's just a loss of money. Better to buy 2-3 iPhones from ebay and do whatever, I want with them. It'll be still cheaper and more convenient.

  • What's up with your support?

    so Adobe -listen to this- i have a problem with my Illustrator and i called the Hebrew support. After a life time of waiting- i got to english support,
    OMG- i an telling you i lost a decade of my life just trying to tell her my email address. my english is not very good but the language she spoke was not english.
    After almost crying, keep saying- israel, hebrew. she said something that if i understood correct, there is no hebrew support.
    WHAT???????????
    My problem is very easy and with hebrew support was solved in 2 minutes. now i an stuck and can't work, so many thanks Adobe
    i know what is bad customer service but this is redicilous.
    i have hebrew version- u think an indian can help me? didn't you think befure you made this move?

    and there is no where to complain.

    Hopefully, someone from Adobe (USA) will come back to you soon; over there it is 15:30PM Sunday.

  • I installed the Illustrator 2014 in its English version, but I need the Hebrew support too (ME). How can I add it to my current installation?

    Hi,
    I’d purchased the full CC 2014 and downloaded from your web site.
    Unfortunately, I installed the Illustrator 2014 in its English version only and I would like to install the Illustrator ME with
    Hebrew support as well as right to left support.
    How can I add the Hebrew support to my current installation?

    Hi Hans-Günter,
    Thank you for your quick reply, I looked at the website and if I understood correctly, in order to change my CC applications to support the ME/RTL I must
    un-install the Illustrator 2014, and re-install it, selecting this option in the Language preferences.
    Do I need to re-install the whole CC package? or only the Illustrator?

    There is no way to fix the bugs in Pages.  If you are talking about an iOS device, try Textilus:

    I need an information about VoiceOver/Siri in hebrew...
    Would be possible to a blind israeli use the Iphone? How?
    I ask you because the VoiceOver is not translated to hebrew...

    If what you are asking is whether additional languages can be added to iPhone Voiceover, the answer is "no".
    You can ask Apple to add Hebrew via

  • After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong passwords I restored my iPhone and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?

    After my friend locked me out of my iPhone with too many wrong password attempts I restored my iPhone via recovery mode and now it is showing that picture of a cable leading towards itunes, and itunes says the sim is not supported but it is the original sim. How do I fix this?

    Something went wrong with the update, this can and does happen with every version of iOS.
    There is nothing wrong with the update.
    Simply restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
    If iTunes is stating it will take hours to update, that indicates an extremely slow Internet connection and is likely the reason the OTA update failed.

    Note: FaceTime may not be available, or may become unavailable, on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Check your device's region of purchase for more information.

    What mail program from what kind of computer are you sending your email?  It sounds like an encoding problem that would have to be solved on the sending end.   If you want, send me an example of the kind of email which arrives as gibberish on your iphone (tom at bluesky dot org).

  • How do I use your iPhone with multiple iTunes libraries

    Hi, I have my music spread out between 3 seperate Itunes libraries on 3 different profiles on my computer. I have the newest generation Ipod Nano, Ipod Shuffle, and Iphone 4s. My Ipod's are both full, so I've decided to start putting music onto my phone. With my Ipod's, I can plug them into one profile on the computer, download the music on the Itunes library that exists on that profile, then do the same with the other profiles with no issue. However when I try to do this with my phone, It asks me to erase the music I have gotten from one Itunes library and sync with the current library, as soon as I plug it in to a different Itunes on one of the other profiles. I have my Iphone configured with the Manually manage music option, and I still haven't found a way to use my Iphone with multiple music libraries. PLEASE HELP

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 - If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202 - When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
    They seem inconsistent as far as the iPad is concerned but in both articles the iPhone appears to only be able to sync to one library at a time.

  • Exchange Emails Not Showing Up On IPhone with Outlook Client Closed

    I have been trying to fix this problem and I want to see if anybody else has run across this issue and found the fix. I am having a problem accessing Exchange Emails from my work system, but only under the following scenario:
    1) When my work PC is powered on, logged in, and Outlook client is up and active I can send and receive emails on my IPhone with no problems and it correctly displays read and unread messages.
    but...
    2) When I close my Outlook client on my PC my IPhone is no longer able to retrieve new email messages. I have had this problem since first getting the 3G phone in August of '08 and it is has been updated with each firmware release but the problem persists.
    This is driving me crazy, any help or confirmation that others are experiencing the problem is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    If you select one month for mail days to sync, only one month's worth will be synced and available - the last month which will be constantly changing to the most recent 30 days. Select No Limit for Mail Days to Sync.
    Show 1000 recent messages is for the selected mailbox only and if there are more than 1000 messages in a mailbox and you have one month for mail days to sync selected, if the last 30 days for the mailbox includes 100 messages, only 100 messages will be available.
    Are these additional server stored mailboxes separate mailboxes and what I mean by that is not sub-mailboxes for the Inbox mailbox?
    Since you have had this issue with other operating systems, the common denominator is your Hotmail account. Have you contacted Hotmail technical support regarding this issue you have had with other operating systems?
    All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange account should be available with the email client used to access the account. If all are not available when accessing the account as an Exchange account with an email client, something is wrong with your setup for these mailboxes at the server level.

  • I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

    I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

    You need to remove your phone number from the iMessage system.
