Seeking more details on Verizon iPhone 4 iCloud delay

    I recently got my first iPhone, an iPhone 4 configured for Verizon.
    Therefore I was disappointed when, after the WWDC announcement of iCloud, it became evident that the Verizon iPhone 4 does not have a high enough iOS capable of running the iCloud beta.
    Here is more information about that: http://blogs.computerworld.com/18436/wwdc_apple_comments_on_verizon_iphone_4_icl oud_delay
    Does anyone have any more information about that and how it might affect the ability of Verizon iPhones to support iOS 5 when it is released?

No. Nobody has any more info than what you have read. Or if they did, they would be bound by a non-disclosure agreement and wouldn't be able to tell you anyway.
iOS 5 will be compatible with the iPhone 4 - whether it is GSM or CDMA will be irrelevant.

  • I lost my iPhone, but it's been more than 24 hours so iCloud won't let me see the last known location of the device, and i need the map of it's last know location to find the phone, how do i get the map of it's last known location?

    It's not likely to re-connect to a network lying on the ground somewhere and getting rained on, it would be really great if I could see that map again so I could use it's last known location to find it.  Kind of pointless to have a 24 hr killswitch deadline.  If I had known I would have taken a screen-shot while I still had access to the information.  Since I lost the phone at Canada's Wonderland (which is now closed for the season) I don't have access to the location where I lost the phone (under a roller-coaster probably), and so I wanted to send the Lost And Found people a screen-shot of it's last known location, but I guess I can't do that now.  (Apple are big jerks)

  • HT1766 These instructions are quite vague.  A lot more goes into restoring from iCloud, this article requires more detail, more is better, less is not!

    Well, they are step by step on how the process works.
    Maybe the issue is not the article but rather the person that cannot follow them?

  • I bought more storage for my iphone, now icloud says im running out of space  Are they 2 different issues?

    I bought more storage for my iphone, i am now getting a message that my cloud storage is almost full.. help

    You have differnciate between your iCloud storage for backups including...
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    documents (like pages, numbers or keynote files)
    and your local device storage for apps, music files, tv shows, photos  and other media types.
    Check your iCloud storage: "Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backups > Manage Storage" to see what you have currently stored on iCloud.
    Check your device storage: "Settings > General > About > Available" to see if you still have capacity to store install more apps etc. on your device.

  • Verizon iPhone 4 Battery Draining issue (continued)

    This is not a question or help topic but more of an announcement. Here's my story:
    I preordered the phone on it's February 3rd date and recieved the phone on February 7th. I did as Apple instructs when you get a new idevice (drain the battery down till it dies then recharge it to 100%.) I did that and began to use it, and keep in mind this was not heavy usage at all. I didn't have any app store apps installed at all, I set all settings in the phone to the best configuration for battery saving (truning off push notifications, turning off location services for apps you do not need, no bluetooth, no VPN, brightness at 33%, ect.) Now I thought the battery was strange as I had made my first phone call on 100% battery and it was a 5 minute call. I kid you not I lost 10% battery from one phone call. I thought that was rediculous so I went into my local verizon store and had it replaced. I did the same as I did last time and let the battery drain till it died and filled it to 100%. Tried the phone out and still had the same issue. I went back in and got my 3rd iphone 4. Did the same steps as before and drained then filled it. Yet again, I still had troubles with 3 phones in a row. I cantacted apple and got in contact with an apple engineer named Andrew. He sent me a file that they created that monitors what all is being used by the battery and monitors background processes and applications. I let that run for 24 hours and sent the battery loggin file back to Andrew. They reviewed the log and gave me a call the next day. They told me they did find some very significant battery draining and advised me to go to the nearest apple store ASAP and have the phone checked out. I drove 2 hours to the nearest store for them to just tell me the phone is fine (yotta yotta yotta) and they did a hard reset and restore on the phone (which I could have done from home on my computer and save the gas they made me waste driving for a total of 4 hours!) I tried contacting Andrew agiain but Andrew did not reply to any email sent to him nor return my calls. I got the point that he didn't want to deal with me anymore so I then decided to go the Verizon route. I called Verizon tech support and was transferred to a teir 2 representative. I told her my story, how many replacements I had, and how bad the battery life was. I told how my grandmother has an iphone 4 and I sat down comparing the 2 (battery life wise) and she chewed me out saying things like, "How dare you compare AT&T and Verizon!" I didn't want to listen to her chewing me out so I hung up. The next day I gave apple a call once again and they told me things I had already heard several times so I hung up. I called Verizon back and they said ok let's send you a replacement phone. Well the replacement phone came and wouldn't ya know it? The phone still had the same problem and on top of that they only sent me a phone. No box, no headphones, no USB cable, no charger. I called Verizon about this and asked why they only sent me a phone and they said, "Well you get to keep the phone but we want the other things back. The box, headphones, charger, USB cable, ect." I told them no and that they could have their refurbished phone back. This phone was not even refurbished. the reason I kow that is because it had someone's name written in the phone and it was still on 4.2.5. Had it been refurbished they would have done a fresh restore and update as 4.2.5 was deemed obsolete. That was very insulting in my opinion. So I sent that back and contacted apple one last time. I asked what other options I had as I was stressed and did not want to hear the same things I have already heard. they said they could send me a new phone free of charge and have me send back my current phone. I agreed to give it one last shot but I am still not confident that this phone will be any different.
    Now that's my story. Now let me go into a discussion. I have been doing my own litle "investigation on this phone to see what is making this phone drain so bad. I took a look at a report from iFixit.com and they revealed some pretty interesting things built into the Verizon iPhone. I am not going into detail about it but you can google it and see for yourself and read the article about the components. They built the phone with not only CDMA tech but also GSM. Now what purpose would that serve? Honestly? That is a big battery drainer right there. Secondly, they found that the phone contained a different model battery that was lighter and had less capacity than the GSM version of the iPhone 4. That's a second red flag. My mission right now is to get Apple's attention that these phones do indeed have aproblem and they need to be looked at because this just aint workin'. I have had several replacements done (all have the same issue), several thousands of people are reporting the same results with their battery on the web, and Apple chooses to ignore it. Something needs to be done and I encourage any Verizon iPhone user to take action and make this issue known. I have a website with contact information of people who work high up in the chain of Apple along with Scott Forstall's contact info. Go to http://idevicesupport.webs.com/apps/blog/show/6441029-update and find a contact you like and call it and deman that apple investigate these phones. We can get this issue resolved if we make it known. Don't be mean or nasty to them. They are very nice people but at the sametime don't let them talk over you. Make your voice heard. Thanks for listening guys. Take care. - Joe

  • Verizon iPhone pre-order!!

    Dear, Verizon
    the suspense is killing me LOL I can't wait for the Verizon iPhone is there any way you could make the pre-order date earlier?? I would feel so much better and be able to relax if I knew my pre-order was in already and just wait for the shipment confirmation. Just a though thanks.

    just a few more days till we have details friend!
    Dont worry though.  they are doing this a lot differently than they previously did in the past.
    Take the droid x, first come first serve on....150,000 units...debacle
    Iphone will have several million available on launch.  if it was anything like att, pre orders will sell out in about 16 hours and feb 10th, you will have to wait in line but it will take 2-3 days to sell out then.  
    If you cant get a iphone on the 3rd, i suggest hitting up a verizon corp store that is in a small town and get their midnight,  they will open at 7am for the iphone.
    best of luck

  • PLZ PLZ ANYBODY were is the verizon iphone 4 wifi antenna (as in which one of the black little marks)

    I need help knowing this for my iphone drops the wifi and knowing were the antenna is could help thx :)

    To be honest, When the verizon iphone first came out, I thought it would be the most talked about event in the tech world but the further we get, the more we see how far back the verizon iphone really is.  I cancelled my att contract early, paid 375 dollars to do so and what do I get in return? an os that is sub standard and data that moves slower than my pet turtle, nick.
    Why are we not recieving the latest and greatest features to iOS? why do we still not have the nitro safari browser? and why can I test drive iCloud beta with all my other iOS and mac osx devices except for my verizon iphone? Yes, it's not entirely verizon's fault but as america's largest network, you would think vzn would take some kind of action to help bring it's customers what they deserve and are paying for.  ANY WHY DOES MY FRIEND WHO HAS AN ANDROID(GOD, I HATE THAT STUPID GREEN CHARACTER) GET TWICE THE DATA SPEEDS AS ME WHEN HE'S ALSO ON VERIZON??? I feel my data usage is being throttled. And if that's true, verizon  should really allow us out of our contracts without fee because I was not advised my data, which is already slow to start, would be slowed down even further because the carrier is worried their network might overload. This is how vzn handles avoiding ATT's woes? not by having a better network that can handle heavy volume? WOW WAS I MISLED. I can't believe im saying this but att is looking better and better everyday. Not to mention their new unlimited any mobile plan that could save me alot of money every month.
    At least, apple or vzn should issue a statement of some sort so their customers at least know what to expect in the near future regarding features and updates.

  • No joy for moving Verizon iPhone 4S to T-Mobile

    My questions on this topic have been answered but I wanted to post back for the benefit of anyone trying to follow.
    It has long been known that you could not use a Verizon (CDMA) iPhone 4S on a domestic GSM network such as T-Mobile.  The hardware is capable (more or less) but the phone is software locked against using GSM domestically.  But I had hoped the recent CTIA agreement amongst the carriers might have changed this situation and allowed me to use my wife's old Verizon iPhone 4S  on my T-Mobile account.  At one point both carriers told me that it should work and was not difficult.
    That was bad information.  It is NOT POSSIBLE.  Although Verizon was helpful in getting my iPhone 4S enabled for international GSM usage, this was not sufficient.  My new T-Mobile SIM is rejected as "Invalid", just as it always has been.  I spent time on the phone with all 3 entities this morning and eventually both Apple and T-Mobile confirmed that the transfer of an iPhone 4S from Verizon to T-Mobile cannot be done.  (T-Mobile's "BYOD" page certainly does not divulge this.)
    This was a huge waste of time.  I wouldn't have started down this path if the simple facts were available and the various reps didn't incorrectly keep encouraging me that it would succeed.  Your mileage may vary, but trust my experience:  I spent hours only in the end to confirm the old information that the change is simply not possible.
    There might be some for-fee vendor that can make it work and I would love to hear about anyone that had success that way.  For now it makes more sense to give up and move on, and sell or trade the phone to someone that can use it. 

    Since the prohibition for use on a domestic carrier is flashed in the phone itself there is no way to work around this. None.
    If you had called AppleCare in the first place or gone by the advice here you would have saved yourself a lot of time. Apple has no stake in who you use your iPhone with. T-Mobile wants your business.
    Sell your iPhone but before you do put it in DFU mode (Google it) and Restore it as a new iPhone. After that turn off Find My iPhone in iCloud then log out from there and Settings > iTunes and App Store and turn off iMessage and FaceTime.
    If you buy a used iPhone 5 you will need to ensure it is an AWS capable phone to use it with T-Mobile. The model numbers are the same so the only way you can test this is to make sure you bought a late model iPhone 5 Model A1429 or to try it with your T-Mobile nanoSIM. If you go with a 5c or 5s unlocked or T-Mobile iPhone you will have no such issue.

  • Why can't I text from my Verizon iPhone 4S to AT&T Galaxy S4?

    My wife who is on AT&T switched from an iPhone 3 to the Samsung Galaxy S4 last week.  Since then she can't see my texts from my Verizon iPhone 4S.  I see her texts just fine.  Fyi, she said she unregistered her Apple iPhone when getting her Galaxy. Thanks for any help!

  • When will we see details about the iphone 4?

    Anyone hear about when they are releasing more information about the iphone 4? Plans, pre-orders etc.

    "iPhone 4 will be available for pre-order to Verizon Wireless customers only, on a “first come, first serve” basis via VerizonWireless.com, on or around February 3rd 2011 – details to be confirmed a week prior by Verizon Wireless. New and existing customers can purchase in select channels on February 10th 2011."
    Funny they say ON OR AROUND wonder if it will be before

  • I am moving to Europe - can I bring my Verizon iphone 5 or should I buy a new one there?

    Hello,
    I am moving to Europe, specificaly France, soon and would like to know if I should bring my Verizon iphone 5, or just buy a new one there, since I will have to start a new contract with a European phone company while I am there. I haven't bought my new iphone 5 yet (because I am waiting for this answer) but my mother is alligble for an upgrade with her Verizon account and can get a brand new Verizon iphone 5 for a great deal. She was going to give it to me, but I am leaving for France in 3 months where I will be living there for at least a year. I was going to just purchase a new iphone 5 with one of the European phone companies (like Orange or Vodaphone, ect.) since I will be getting a good deal on them too (when signing up for a new contract), but if the Verizon iphone will work exactly the same over in Europe, I would rather get it now. Either way, I will be spending about the same amount of money. Will I be restricted somehow using a US iphone 5 in Europe, or are the US iphone 5's any different from the iphone 5's in Europe (or tide to European phone companies? Do they offer an insurance plan? (I'm not sure if this even exists in the US. I will be a new iphone user!) I'm just curious what which iphone will be more efficitant to use, since I will be spending most of my time in Europe.
    I appreciate you answer!!

    Click on the links on the right for some good information. The only concern is that a phone purchased in the States will only be seviced for any repairs in the States. You will not have any warranty coverage in France.

  • New Apple ID for Verizon iPhone?

    Getting my new Verizon iPhone tomorrow, and trying to decide whether to create an additional Apple ID. I already have an iPad and my wife has an AT&T iPhone, both of which are set up and logged in with our original ID. The new phone will be my work phone, so I'm leaning toward setting up a new ID for it only. Question is, do I lose access to all my previously purchased songs, apps, etc being transferred to my new phone from my iTunes library? A little help would be great. Thanks in advance.

    There is no benefit with doing this.
    All 3rd party apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to download the apps with. Getting a new Apple ID or iTunes account will be more trouble than it is worth - whatever you think the worth with a new iTunes account will be. Constantly having to log in and out with each iTunes account with iTunes on your computer, etc.

  • Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Use on WiFi Bug

    If you have been seeing higher cellular data usage while you are on WiFi, good news, Verizon has fixed this bug.  All you need to do is update your Carrier Settings to 13.1 and the bug is fixed.
    For directions on how to update your Carrier Settings, see:
    Verizon iPhone 5 Update Fixes Cellular Data Use on WiFi Bug - EVDOinfo.com
    Be interesting to see if this fixes the issues for all those having the problem

    I have the exact same problem!
    I'm using the iPhone 5 now under Carrier M1 Singapore 13.0 and I have noted that over a period of 2 weeks, my cellular data usage has been about 2.7GB on an average. Since I know my bill has been capped at 3GB, I have since switched off my cellular data.
    However, when I switched it on for a few days after using it for awhile, my cellular usage jumped by 1.2GB in just 1 day! And I used it as I would on an average day (like during an average day in the 2 weeks)!
    I understand that there have been reports of a bug that have caused this problem in the US.

    http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/10/iphone-5-cellular-data-usage-over-wifi-bug-on -other-carriers.html
    But I'm hoping that there's a solution for those living in Singapore? Do I seek the help from my carrier as well? But if it's a problem with the phone, then my carrier definitely would not help, right?

  • Verizon iPhone - mobile hotspot and other questions about the data options

    I just ordered the Verizon iPhone. Can anyone explain the options here:
    1) Unlimited corporate email & Web (business and personal email) vs. Unlimited email and web for smartphones (personal email) - what's the difference?
    2) "3G Mobile Hotspot 2GB" - does this mean that there's no way I can share my 3G connection via wifi without paying the extra $20/month?? How about tethering to a single computer (USB, BT, or WiFi) - does that also require this extra option?
    3) equipment protection - what's the difference between Extended Warranty, Asurion Wireless Phone Protection, and Total Equipment Coverage?
    thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Hi
    Regarding your #2 question; yes, you must pay $20/mo to use the 3G Hotspot aspect of the iPhone, same as with any of Verizon's phones that offer this feature such as the Droid X, HTC phones, etc. And, there is NO additional charge to tether it to your computer; it's $20/mo regardless. You can still use the iPhone's WiFi feature to search the web which is part of the regular data plan. We're only talking about paying the $20/mo for the "up to 5 devices" jumping on your phone as a hot spot.
    I'm an Apple fan, have my MacBook Pro, but my phone is a Droid X. I've been a Verizon member since a year before they became Verizon. Additionally, I am part of the Verizon & Motorola test forum; testing new software updates as they come along.
    Something you should know about Verizon's 3G Hot Spot feature; it has issues. Those of us in the Motorola & HTC forums have experienced identical issues with regard to the 3G Hot Spot feature; it disconnects every 2 minutes, even when you are actively surfing the net. Verizon & Motorola Support have been very helpful to provide what they believe are fixes, including: changing the channel, hard resets, clearing cache, etc. It does not work. Most of us believe, this is NOT a Verizon issue, but a phone maker issue.
    I also have Verizon's MiFi 2200. It costs $59/mo and is purely a hot spot device; again up to 5 devices. I use it at home, for my lap top and for those who need connectivity. It outperforms the 3G hot spot feature of the Motorola & HTC phones by leaps & bounds, and I suspect it will out perform the 3G hot spot feature on the iPhone. Additionally, you get 5GB of download with the MiFi which Verizon is planning on offering increases to 8GB & 10GB. There is NO plan to increase the 2GB download limitation on the 3G Hot spot of the iPhone & other phones, and anyone who does basic software downloads & pics, knows 2GBS is not a lot space.
    So, I would recommend not paying the $20 until this is resolved. If you do, you could pay $39 more for a total of $59/mo for the MiFi, download the software to you home computer & notebook, and end up canceling your home internet service. I did this and have saved $70/mo in my total utilities.
    One other important note: Verizon's VZManager Software for their phones & MiFi. If you did pay the $20/mo for the iPhone and decided to tether to your USB port (for power while using) and you were to use the 3G hot spot feature, it will NOT work on 64 Bit computers, regardless if you are using the WiFi feature or directly using VZManager. The MiFi has this same issue. It will only work on 32 Bit when tethered. So, you'd have to reboot your computer to 32 Bit, if you have that ability. On a Macbook Pro, simply restart holding down the "3" & "2" keys.
    I have no idea why Verizon can't simply upgrade the firmware, even recent firmware upgrades have not resolved this. Most new computers are 64 Bit now.
    Despite this, I use my MiFi 100% untethered and carry my charge cord in my bag as it also works on my Droid, and I presume they may do the same for the iPhone; reduces the need for multiple power cords.
    I really looked forward to the 3G feature of the Motorola & HTC phones, but honestly, it's just not there yet; mine was slower than Dial Up, and I'm not kidding.

  • Have Ipad with MiFi, want to add Verizon iphone

    I recently purchased an ipad with the MiFi hotspot device and have the plan that costs $35 per month. I only use it when I leave home since my current AT&T wireless is connected to the ipad at home. I would like to change from my AT&T cell phone to the Verizon iphone when it becomes available but don't understand how the WiFi might or might not be able to be used with the iphone. Is there a connection or would they require two separate "plans"?

    I will be more than happy to provide you with some clarity about the iPhone today. The iPhone will require a data plan, but the cost and amount of usage had not been finalized. You will be able to use wifi for your device along with the data plan in order to cut down on the usage over the Verizon Wireless data network. You will be able to connect the iPhone with your MiFi device. If you like, instead of having two separate accounts with Verizon Wireless, you can add a line and plan for your cell phone to your current account. Here is a link to our iPhone FAQ's:
