Multi tasking with the iphone

When will we be able to make a call on the iphone while online on the internet through the edge network??

This is an EDGE network limitation which only applies when actively accessing the internet when connected via EDGE - downloading or sending email, or when downloading a website when a call is received or when placing a call.
The same limitation does not apply when connected to the internet via wi-fi, and with a 3G phone when connected to a 3G network.

Why has Apple decided the 3G won't have mult-tasking with the new OS 4.0

Just would like a answer if apple would re-consider enabling multi-tasking on the iphone 3G when they release OS 4.0, maybe in a limited form.
My experience is the iphone 3G will often leave applications running in the background on OS 3.x and I have to use "freememory" third party app to clean it up when the iphone becomes too slow.
This suggests to me there nothing technical why the 3G can't have multi-tasking as in away it already does do this when the applications aren't closed.
Maybe if they limit the multi tasking to 3 applications on 3G, rather then none out all, this would make me happier.

The developer response as to why FreeMemory no longer available:-
"Apple has demanded that we remove the feature to Free Memory from all our apps. We have decided to remove our existing Free Memory 1.5 and MemoryInfo 1.1 apps from sale. We have instead submitted Free Memory Lite and MemoryInfo Lite without the Free Memory feature."
So I suppose I was lucky to find the tool before Apple banned it.
It is interesting as most iphone's have 8 or 16GB of Storage RAM, but only 128MB 3G, 256 3GS of runtime RAM, and because the phones doesn't have the ability to use virtual RAM, memory is limited on iphone, this would of been a nice feature to add to OS 4.0.
My opinion is Apple decided to limit functionality so people are forced to upgrade to the latest iphone, a little cynical I suppose, but I feel is true.
The release of the OS 4.0 and not providing multi-tasking for the 3G is probably another example as it doesn't really appear to be "technically not feasible".
I feel the developers need a bill of rights, as Apple decisions to "ban" apps is too arbitrary and unfair.
Sorry for my comments about Apple policy of banning apps or limiting functionality it just my opinion, although I think it is shared by many.
To some find my comments harsh but it is in Apple interest to make all iphones the best phones in the world

Why does Apple not support syncing Entourage Notes and Tasks with the iPhone?

I'd like to know why Apply syncing does not support notes and task syncing with the iPhone. It used to when I had a Balckberry and used a third party sync app.
I bought the iPhone (4S) thinking that syncing would be smoother and have less problems than I was having with the Blackberry and third party sync software. Are there any plans to support this?

Normally I run OS X, but on a whim I tested iCloud on Windows and was able to get Outlook to read and create Notes. It supposedly supports Tasks too, but I can't figure out how to use Outlook.
I suggest reposting your question to the iCloud for PC forum: https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_pc

Things my WM 6.1 phone did that I can't find a way to do with the iphone

Hi All iphoners
I have a small list of things that I can't find a way to do with the iphone. I was hoping that someone would be able to help me with this. I know there must be a way to do these but I just have not found it yet.
here they are:
Play video clips from my favorite news web sites.
search my contacts by just typing the name from anywhere in the contact list
Play music and sounds thru by stereo bluetooth headset
Sync my notes and tasks from outlook
setup different tones and alarms for new e-mail, new SMS, so on
voice announcement of who is calling if the caller is in my contacts
Download document to the phone, word, PDF, so on
Mark all e-mail as read with one button
place call from calendar if phone number is in appointment
Beam files from one phone to another
Picture mail
Rotate e-mail while ready e-mail. this works for web pagers but not e-mail
thanks for all the help

depending on who your "favorites" are, they might have an app in the app store which includes videos
search my contacts by just typing the name from anywhere in the contact list
theres a search bar at the top of the contacts list. you type, it searches.
Play music and sounds thru by stereo bluetooth headset
sorry, can only be achieved via devices such as the Sony TMR-BT8iP (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000XRW09Y)
setup different tones and alarms for new e-mail, new SMS, so on
all but SMS is not customizable for now. but even with SMS, you can only choose from those available.
voice announcement of who is calling if the caller is in my contacts
my suggestion is to set a particular ringtone for that person. OR, you can always record yourself saying that person's name, convert it to a ringtone, and use that. (if you dont know how to create your own ringtone, a quick search on this forum should help you out).
Download document to the phone, word, PDF, so on
Beam files from one phone to another
look for "Air Share" in the app store.
Picture mail
it can, you have to do it from the photo, not email tho.
i dont have an answer for the ones i left out. sorry. hope these help.

How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s?

How do I make a hands free call with the iphone 4s? I have a bluetooth car device and when I try to talk through it (as I did with my old phone) to call someone it does not work. so far only hte last person called is redialed.

That is a carrier-based service. So first you have to make sure your service contract includes that feature.
It usually also includes Call Hold. So you call the first party, put them on hold, call the second, then reactivate the first. But only if your carrier allows you to.

Is anyone else having a problem with the iPhone 4s Battery Life? My 1 year old Iphone 4, which I gave to my wife, is holding a charge better and she has been using it far more than I've been using my 4s

My wife preordered a white iPhone 4s for our anniversary and even though it is preloaded with the ios 5, i am a little disappointed. The battery doesn't seem to hold a charge well at all. I have had every other iphone except the 3gs and have never had such a poor battery life. I owned the iPhone 4 for a year, and already know all the tricks to hold on to battery life, I have adopted the habit of closing out any apps that weren't being used, my mail push notifications are set for hourly, wifi and bluetooth are turned off when they aren't needed. I also stay away from any car chargers, use only the apple brand supplied cables, and only charge when the phone is dead. I only would sync when the phone was about to die as well.
When I saw how fast I was burning through the battery, I turned off Siri, which is kind of the purpose of the new iPhone, and turned off the backing up to iCloud. I barely used my phone today and the battery kept ticking down. My wife, who has been stuck with an iPhone 3g for years, has been fascinated with my old iPhone 4 and has been browsing and playing games and her battery has been holding a better charge than my new phone. I even tried turning the phone off for an hour when it was at 18% and when I turned it back on, it was at 15%. My iPhone 2, which is only being used as a touch iPod now, still has better standby time than a brand new iPhone 4s.
To be honest, I am usually a heavy phone user. Throughout the day I will make and receive at least 50 calls, I browse and check websites daily and watch videos sometimes during my downtime. But this weekend, I haven't even had the chance to put this phone through the same abuse my other 3 iPhones have had to endure.
I just want to know if anyone else has this problem, or if I should just return this one.

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

HT3310 how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone?

how do i get my headphone to work with the iphone? Are there some settings
that I need to turn on so I can use my headphone while talking on the phone?

Are you using the earbuds that came with the iPhone? If you are using other earphones, it's possible that they need an adaptor to work with the iPhone's recessed headphone jack.

Is it possible to use the Apple wireless keyboard with the iPhone 6? Will the Magic Mouse work with iMovie on iPhone6 Plus?

iPhone 6 page says that iMovie is a (free) application available for iPhone 6. When I use it on the desktop I need a mouse. Should I expect all controls to be touch-sensitive, or is it possible to use the wireless Magic Mouse? Similarly, if I want to type an email or a long document, is it possible to use the Mac wireless keyboard to enter text? With the iPhone 6 Plus taking over for laptops (phablet), it seems to me that input tools are relevant. Maybe what I'm asking is whether the iPhone6 (OS8) has drivers for these devices. Please advise.

Apps that are designed for iOS devices such as the iOS version of iMovie are intended to be used entirely by touch. It's worth noting that iMovie for iOS is not absolutely identical to iMovie for Mac OS.

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

You should erase all contents and setting before giving your iphone away.

Yes. Open your camera roll in the thumbnail view, tap the arrow button on the top right, tap all of the photos you want included in your email, tap Share at the bottom, tap Email. Note: all email providers have limits on the size of emails that are permitted so be careful not to try to add too many or it may not be delivered.
