Switching from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5..

I've recently done an early upgrade from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 - the guy in the phone shop said I couldn't use my iPhone 5 until the signal dies on my iPhone 4 - does anyone know how long this usually takes because I'm desperate to use my new phone! Help would be appreciated.

I went into the phone store earlier before work and they said it usually takes 48 hours, it is well over 48 hours now, and they said to transfer everything over to iPhone 5 which I have done and still nothing..

One thing you can try
Turn iMessage off on your phone
Reset your phone - no data loss
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Then activate iMessage and start a new conversation and see what happens

The Switch from Android to iPhone

Hello everyone,
For about 4,5 years now, I have always been using Android smartphones. I have never regretted buying them and I have always loved them. The main things that made me choose for android were the freedom and customization. I have always been experimenting with different custom ROMs, trying to adjust the way I use my device exactly the way I wanted to. I had never even considered buying an Apple device.
About a year ago I was looking for a tablet. I went to the store to have a look at the different android tablets. In the store however, I noticed the android tablets not running nearly as smooth as my phones always had. Just for the heck of it I also took a look at the iPads and I was intrigued by how smooth they ran. A lot of internet research and store visits eventually made me choose the iPad mini. I did not only want a smoothly running device, I also wanted to try out a different operating system. Furthermore, I also somehow wanted to reserve the endless customization and messing around with different ROMs for my phone. I wanted the tablet just to run smoothly and work. Apart for a slight image retention problem, my iPad Mini works great and I never regretted buying it despite of my earlier dislike for Apple.
However, even after buying the iPad, I could still never imagine myself buying an iPhone. Until recently. Allthough I still really like my blazing smooth Galaxy S3, I am kind of losing the interest for constantly changing ROMs and the endless customizability. It was fun having all those options open, lately I have always been looking for ROMs that simpely work properly without any hassle and that run smoothly. The thought of switching to iPhone has crossed my mind several times, but I am still unsure.
I was wondering if there are any people who have recently made the switch from Android to iOS and how they experienced it? I think I'll like having an iPhone for its simplicity and smoothness, but I am also afraid that I might miss widgets, custom MP3 players, and the freedom to download and open any file or easily send them from my phone.
How have other ex-android users experienced this switch? What difference did you like most and which android features did you miss (in the beginning)?
I hope to hear from you :)

Ok, no widgets and I do miss those occasionally. However, I have other music players on my phone than the built in one. And, I've yet to find a file that I could put on my Android phone and use that I couldn't also put on my iPhone. In both cases, I generally email files to myself.
Things that I like on Android phones that I can't get on an iPhone: ability to schedule SMSs for a later time, ability to use a different messaging app for SMS, ability to set profiles for settings based on time, location, etc with apps like Tasker.
On the other hand, my iPhone never crashes (I found custom ROMs to be a nightmare). It integrates beautifully with my iPad and lots of other devices. Siri is, for me, much better than Google's voice features, though that gap is closing. And, as the Apple App Store is more lucrative for developers than the Google Play store, the apps that I want and use, in my opinion, seem to be better. I find the user experience on an iPhone just more pleasant. And, I think you'll find that an iPhone 5S is just as "blazing" as a Galaxy S4... forget the S3!
Best of luck.

IMESSAGE PROBLEM. Switching from android to iphone

I'm having problems with my iPhone 4s . my carrier is tmobile. I can't receive messages from other iPhones and I'm looking for any suggestions out there to fix this problem for me. I tried resetting the network settings. I switched from android gs3 to this iPhone 4s. I just took out my sim card from the gs3 to the iPhone 4s. I shut off my imessage. I went to verify my account to the macbook t. See if I can plug it into to that imessage and it will start connecting but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

Switching from the original iPhone to the iPhone 3GS

Ok, so I have the old school iPhone. The one before all this 3g nonsense came into play. I am thinking about upgrading to the new 3GS.
So lets say I do decide to upgrade. When I put my SIM card from my old iphone into the new one, will I keep all of my text conversations, recent calls, voicemails, last page I visited on youtube/safari? I know when you sync your iphone it backs up data into itunes. But im just not sure what exactly what all of the data it does back up, you know what I mean?
Oh, and if I back up data on my old school iPhone, then sync a brand spankin new 3gs to the same itunes i backed up data on my old school iphone, will all my data switch to the new one?

Not the way to go. You get a new SIM and use that. Apple instructions are here:

Switching from blackberry to iphone what do i do

Hi
Just got iphone 5s, how do i switch the cell service over from blackberry

When you purchased the iPhone 5S, didn't you tell the vendor the cellular telephone number, etc.? It should be all set then. Just turn your iPhone on and follow the directions.

Switched from Blackberrry to iphone. I can't highlight phone numbers in contact notes and make calls from that number, how do I make a phone number "live" ?

How do I make email addresses and phone numbers in the notes section of contacts, "live"? I could run curser over number in Blackberry and could intiate call or email by clicking on it. I have some of those "live", but most are not. How can I change to "live"?

If I go to my notes app ( not a note in a contact) and I add a phone number and tap done the number becomes live. However if I then copy the live number from the notes app and try and paste it into the notes field in a contact it is no longer live. Weird huh

Switch from iPhone

I just switched from years of iPhones to a Blackberry Z30. I really like the OS but there are still a couple of issues that i hope will be solved in the near future. I travel a lot and some things are of great importance to me.
Is there any way of having a headphone profile? I would really like the alarm or incoming calls to be over the headset iso the speakers.
The ability to make a VPN connection with my home NAS. Right now the VPN options are very limited and i am not able to connect to my NAS.
Print emails directly from the phone. I cannot understand why this is not possible right out of the box. I thought that BB was a "workphone".
Can anyone tell me if these things are solved with a new software update? I really wanna like the phone (and i do for the most part).

Welcome!
For the headphone profile, is this something you want automatically when the headphone is attached?
I know in OS 10.3.1 you will have much more custom profiles you can create.
VPN,. some new stuff coming on that from BlackBerry... perhaps it will resolve that for you.
Printing, via an app from App World, present now.

Somehow gained 6GB of storage in transfer from 3gs to iphone 4

I switched from 3Gs to Iphone 4. Both are 32gb. I downloaded new OS and am using current itunes. I updated all apps and then backed up 3gs. I then activated Iphone 4 and restored from backup. The number of apps, music, photos and videos are the same between 3Gs and 4 under usage. Somehow I now have 6 free GB in my iphone 4 where my 3Gs was almost full. Everything appears o be working fine but I feel like 6Gb is a pretty large discrepency between two phones with the same amount of data and I am worried about trouble down the road before i lose my 3Gs backup. Anyone run across this or have a good explanation? I appreciate the help.

Plug your 3GS in and see how much space each thing is taking, then plug your iP4 in and compare. Woulda' been easier than posting.

I switched from an iPhone to a Droid and can't receive texts from iPhones now, help?

I switched from my iPhone 4s to a Droid and I do not have that phone anymore. I can not recieve texts from anyone with an iPhone and can not get in contact with my girlfriend or siblings now. I think their phones are trying to send their texts as iMessages to my phone that does not recieve iMessages. How can I just delete my Apple account and recieve texts again?

Sounds like you didn't turn of iMessage on your iPhone before making the switch. If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

I switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy s4. Everything seems ok except text messaging with people who have an iPhone. I can send them a text, they can see it, but I cannot see what they text back. What can I do please?

I just switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy 4S and I like it except for text messaging. I can text, they can see it, but I cannot see their response if they are using an iPhone. Can you help me with this? What do I do please?

Congratulations on your new phone kathdogg! Now let's get your messaging working correctly. If you still have your old device, turn it on, go to settings, and turn off iMessaging.
If you are no longer in possession of your old device, you will need to remove your phone number from your Apple Support Profile. This can be done here: http://bit.ly/1cst2SC
Please keep us posted, and let us know if this resolves your issue!
