Is version 4.1 worth switching from 3.1.2

I have the iPhone 3G version 3.1.2
Is is worth updating to the 4.1?
I've heard it slows the 3G iPhone's down quite a bit.
Which version would be better to tether with?

The 3G is defintiely slower with iOS4. 4.1 is better, but still slower. Some people are happy with it. Switching off Spotlight indexing helps quite a bit.
My view is - unless you need something in iOS4, don't upgrade. I haven't upgraded by gf's 3G for this reason
Sorry - can't comment on tethering.

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.

Switching From The Original BlackBerry Storm to Droid X

Ordered my phone through Verizon on 8/25. My X is expected to ship by 9/9. Anyone else switch from the BB Storm? If so, what should I expect from the X? Is there a big difference?
FWIW, I absolutely loath the Storm. It's the worst phone I've ever owned. So, I'm expecting/hoping for a lot from the X

My wife and I also went from BB to Droid. She got the Droid 2 (Came in day after I ordered on the phone) to replace her Curve and I got the X (arrived two weeks later) to replace my Storm 1. What a difference! Here's the rundown of what I see different so far (had it for just over a week).
1. Fast! Everything is fast. Browser loads pages several times faster than the Storm. Scrolling, pinch to zoom, and every other aspect of browsing is amazing in comparison. I used to dread getting on the web with the Storm and would prefer to wait till I could get to a computer. Not any more! Switching apps is equally speedy and multitasking is awesome.
2. Much better memory management. I had quick pull on my Storm scheduled to reboot every morning and was still getting slow and hourglasses by early evening. I haven't had to reboot my X yet for slowdown. I also have tons more apps installed. I was down to only a few apps on my Storm to free up as much memory as possible. I just keep downloading more on my X with no problems.
3. The screen does take a little getting used to. I was in the habit of letting my finger rest on the screen to keep it on with my Storm. It can be pretty sensitive for typing as well. I get a few extra letters here and there but I'm getting better. (Using swype helps alot).
4. Did I mention it's fast?
5. Battery life is about the same. Except I am still playing with the X alot more.
6. I wasn't a big business user and already use gmail for my personal email, as well as google calendar. I had google sync on my Storm so the transition was easy there. My wife does use a pop account for her work email so it is kind of a bummer that it isn't push like the BB, but she's ok with it. Switched from using BB Messenger to Google Talk with no problems either. If you have a big list of contacts in BB Messenger, keep an eye on an app called CrossTalk that promises to be able to send BBM messages from Android phones.
7. Kinda bummed there isn't a unified inbox like on my Storm, but having everything show up in the notification drop down is just as good.
8. It's fast, even without battery pulls!

I dropped my Iphone 5 which resulted in it shattering and the screen was still on but it was black with only a white line through it so I couldnt access the phone however I switched over to my Droid and now I cannot send or receive messages?

I dropped my Iphone 5 which resulted in it shattering and the screen was still on but it was black with only a white line through it so I couldnt access the phone however I switched over to my Droid and now I cannot send or receive messages and I cant turn off imessage because I cant see anything on the screen. Help?

Then the bottom of the support document states that if you do not have access to the device (which unfortunately because of the screen issue you do not) to contact Apple Care. That is what you need to do.

Upgraded to Bionic from the first Droid.

So, I went in to the best buy store today, got the Bionic, was told that I would be grandfathered in to my old plan, that had unlimited data. Then I go to my account online and it says I have a 2gb cap... I use my phone alot, that's why I got the unlimited data. What should I do? I know I'm going to get slammed with a huge charge, because I'm going to go over 2gb....

You are a life saver my friend, I figured that I'd be okay, but made this post to just see if anyone else had the same problem and got it taken care of. I would of called them but I'm at work, so I'll have to do it when I get home.
By the way, the droid Bionic is awesome. I had my last Droid, the original one for nearly 2 years, never replaced it once, I hear I'm one of the lucky few, haha. So it's nice to go from the first droid, straight to the Bionic. Such a difference.
Thanks again!

Upgrade from Droid to Droid Incredible

Does anyone who has upgraded have issues with the battery life and do you regret upgrading from Motorola Droid to Droid Incredible?

everyone with the incredible has been disappointed with the battery life. i ordered a set on ebay that came with 2 extra batteries and an external charger (for $12 total). i have to change the battery every morning...but at least the phone never has to be plugged in now. there's also an extended battery selling online somewhere. it's slightly thicker than the one that's in the phone so it comes with a new back casing, which is a problem if you use a hard cover/case for the phone. it's only 1 mm thicker though, so it prolly wouldn't prevent the soft/rubber type of cases.
some did go out with bad batteries though. fyi....i get about 24 hours of up time with about 4 of those hours being awake time, before needing to rotate my battery. if you are getting significantly less than that, then i would ask vzn for a new battery.

Switching from Windows to Mac. Is it worth it? Please help!

Hey everybody,
I think I finally made my decision to switch from windows to Mac,..the I-book. G4 (not the power book). The I-book I want is around 1299.00, with the wider screen,..than the smaller i-book.
Anyhow,.what led me to this decision was just sending back the Sony FS series. It was sleek beautiful and"white" like I love,..but the speakers were awful. I have just about given up on trying to find a decent notebook. I love the look of the i-book,..but cant get that gorgeous wide screen from Sony out of my mind. It was more than the speakers. Just too noisy. Anyway...if you bought this i-book all over again,..would you? Alos I have a brand new Linskys Router with the built in Security. Would the Macs intergrated wireless card,..work with my router?
Please help!

planning on getting this notebook. Need advice

I'm afraid you're not exactly going to get an unbiased opinion here
As a long-time Mac fan (back since System 6) who was forced into a PC world man years ago, OSX has re-kindled my passion for computing. I'm an old Unix guy and OSX has combined the best PC operating system with the power of Unix. To the average user who doesn't care about shell scripts and porting free applications, what you'll get from Unix is a tremendous amount of reliability and security...
One of the best reasons for anyone to switch to the Mac was summed up in a post over on iLounge as a reply to someone who was switching. When asked why anyone would switch, one reply simply said, "...because he realises that a computer should be a productivity tool, not a virus scanner."
In the year since I've bought my Mac Mini, the only failure I've had has been a crash of Virtual PC (an emulator that will allow you to run your old Windows-based applications), which took the virtual disk out and forced me to reinstall my Windows environment. That's nothing different than I've experienced countless times on my old PC.
That said, I'm looking at a 12" iBook. I didn't even consider the 14" because I don't want something larger that doesn't give me extra screen real-estate. I debated the 15" Powerbook but decided I don't really need it's larger screen, and I'd rather have something more portable. There are companies out there that sell dual-layer DVD-RW drives that can be installed in an iBook (even the 12" Powerbook only ships with a single-layer DVD burner).
512mb should be plenty, unless you plan on editing video or running Virtual PC--in which case, I'd recommend at least a gig.

Switching from BT Infinity 2 Unlimited. Worth it? Is Sky Fibre Pro still available?

Hi all I'm currently on BT Infinity 2 Ulimited, but I've become less than satisfied with the speed on my line. I know the line is capable of around 60MB/s as that is what the tests were indicating when the engineer was round to install the service. However it has slowly deteriorated over time and now sits at just over 40MB/s. BT are beyond useless and will not accept that this is an issue, let alone try and fix it. Has anybody recently switched from BT Infinity to Sky Fibre? How is the upgrade process? And has this generally improved or worsened your speeds? Lastly, I can't for the life of me find this Sky Fibre Pro (up to 80MB/s) service on the Sky website anyway. Google results seem to take me to 404 pages. Is Pro still available, and if so where do I order it? If all Sky offer is an "up to" 38MB/s service, then I won't be switching. I have no desire to make my speeds worse still. Thanks a lot.Ryan

First thing to remember is that Sky Fibre will still use the same cabinets and cables to get to your house, so changing provider will not necessarily make any difference, although the physical moving of the cables may make things better, but may also make things worse.
Deterioration is an unfortunate side effect of more and more people using fibre and the crosstalk between cables.
Sky Fibre Pro is still available but you can't sign up online, only by calling Sky.

Switched from AT&T to Verizon today, have a question or two

Well, I switched from my iPhone today to a Motorola Droid, and I transferred my phone number from AT&T to Verizon, and I'm curious about a couple of things:
Text messaging isn't working 100% - I can send and receive texts Verizon to Verizon, for example, I can't text my Mom, who's still on AT&T. Is that because it maybe still transferring? Or activating? I can make calls to my Mom, and other friends not on AT&T just fine.
If it is transferring/activating, what's the usual amount of time that it takes?
I've restarted my phone several times, and it hasn't fixed it, fyi.
Thanks in advance

Make sure that your iPhone is turned off. I have had a problem when i was switching devices on a line on verizon and didnt turn the old device off... but once i turned the old device off then it was resolved.

Considering switching from iPhone 4S but................

My late 50ish eyes like the larger screen of the Galaxy III. However, I am seeing many complaints about software and other technical issues that are rarely (at least in my case) are a part of the iPhone world. I am looking for the experiences, good and bad, of those that have switched from the iPhone to the Galaxy III

I am 69 and have owned my SIII now since August 2012 and not had an issue with my phone or my software...this is not to say you won't YMMV. I have read about many having trouble with their phones and the software when the update came to update the ICS to Jellybean. I did not experience any problems with the Jellybean update. I am OK with Jellybean but with I could go back to ICS not possible and keep the phone stock. I moved to the SIII from MOTO Droid Razr Maxx which was a good phone and I never had problems even when they updated it to ICS. The thing with the SIII is the battery life which I am only getting about 10 - 12 hours on a charge...the Droid Razr Maxx I got 2 days sometimes better out of which was really nice. You may want to consider the Note II as it has much better battery life than the SIII. I do read about owners having issues with them as well as some of the software on them. I have never owned an iphone and NEVER will...just as I have never owned an apple computer, I have always owned a windows pc. I am starting to move away from the pc to an android tablet since I don't really need a pc anymore. A tablet will suffice for what I do now. I do use a pc at work though for Office and AutoCAD. Good luck with your decision hope what I said here helped and if you have anymore questions please feel free here to reply with them.

Sync problems after switch from Windows to Mac; cannot read/write error msg

I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue.
I recently switched from a PC to a Mac. To move my iTunes files (50GB) I simply dragged and dropped them from my external HD to my new computer. I know that Apple does not recommend this process, but when I needed to move my library between drivers earlier this year, it was the only way I could do it without getting an error message that killed the process.
Moving the files seemed to be a success. Everything appeared in iTunes, I was able to play the music, etc.
I then tried synching my iPod (Classic 160 GB – I think 5th gen, it’s about 3 years old) on the new computer. I got some message that said you can only have one iPod per account and that I would have to wipe the iPod before syncing. I let it do that.
Here's where problems began:
With a few gigs to go in the sync I got a message that says something to the effect that iTunes cannot read or write to the iPod. Even though must of the library had been transferred to the iPod, before disconnecting the iPod iTunes wiped all but a few hundred megs worth of music from it. I've tried restoring the iPod a few times but that has had no effect. The first time I tried to sync the iPod it was formatted for Windows. I have reformatted it for Mac.
Also noteworthy is that the first 3/4ths of my library copies very quickly -- 1GB a minute -- but then it eventually slows down to where 100 MB takes 10 minutes. It copies the files in a different order every time, so it doesn't look like it's getting hung up on the same files every time.
In case I had a corrupted file, I deleted all the files added to the library since my last successful sync.
Suggestions?
Should I just go to the nearest Apple store and beg for mercy?

Hi!
same problem here.I can use around 30G of my iPod Classic 160G.If i try to upload more than that it will take very long time and finally freezes.
Have no idea what to do..

I am looking to make the switch from pc to mac and have been eyeing the MBP 13". I would like to know whether it is fine to add RAM and SSD myself? any compatibility or warranty problems? what brand/type of RAM and SSD is the best fit? thank you.

I'm possibly wrong here but I suspect opening a brand new MBP to add parts yourself will void the warranty. It is probably in the small print. I certainly would not risk it for an expensive Apple product.
Some (Windows) laptops have easy access to memory and disk slots that do not necessitate taking the complete back cover off. However, Apple does not make life easy for you.
However, if you are going for a 'used' machine it is probably worth a try.
Not possibly, definitely wrong, Ram and Hard Drive are considered user replaceable and will not void the warranty if changed.

Switching from Digital Performer 7.24...?

I have been using Digital Performer for 12+ years, but have been thinking about purchasing Logic Pro X for a variety of reasons. I would love to hear from anyone who has done the same. Have you found it easy to learn Logic, and how to use it to do the things you did with DP? Was it worth the $199 to purchase Logic to try it? If you have both DP and Logic, which one do you use the most, and why?
Thanks for any opinions/comments about this.
Michael

I haven't used DP for ages, but what I hear from friends is that there are some key features that are not available in Logic. However, that is true when switching from any app A to app B. You just have to make a pro/con chart and see if there are any deal breakers.
Logic always gets a bad rap for its steep learning curve. The main reason for that is that it has so many features to learn and most importantly, its open object-based structure. In my opinion, this is the most powerful feature from a power-user point of view because you can customize so many things. When you work with with it every day, you really start to appreciate it. For a seasonal user, this might be overkill.
There is one important aspect about learning an app. It is often more difficult to learn a different app, that it is to learn a new app. You have to unlearn concepts and workflows which sometimes appear strange at first. That's why it is very important, for example, not to find where the new Record Button or Play Button is, but discover the many different actions that happen when you press those buttons and where to configure them (and knowing that you can configure them in the first place).
As I mentioned, the different concepts and underlying architecture is the most important thing to wrap your head around it. I wrote a manual in my Graphically Enhanced Manuals (GEM) series, "Logic Pro X - How it Works", that explains those concepts with lots of graphics and diagrams that are not found in any other book or tutorial. I discuss and illustrate the various topics in great details, providing all the various commands for specific actions, not just one, so you can choose which one suits your workflow best.
One more thing ...
You can download GarageBand X for free. It is based on the same code as Logic Pro X (it is actually the new Logic Express). Although, most of the advanced features are not available, you still can get an overall feel for the app: layout, color codes, terminology, etc.
Hope that helps
