    Alarm fails (sometimes)

    Odd -- mine works fine regardless of my Exchange settings. I just don't fully trust my iPhone's alarm -- it'll work fine for a while, then there'll be that one time it doesn't wake you up...

    Alarm fails (sometimes)

    Unless you flip the mute switch -- doesn't matter which 3rd party alarm you use, it won't make a sound :-( Thanks though for stopping by ;-)

    Alarm fails (sometimes)

    That's true if you're using a 3rd-party alarm app, however, the beauty of the native Alarm App is that you can turn on the mute switch but alarms still sound off. 3rd-party apps are silenced if the mute switch is on.

    Alarm fails (sometimes)

    I've had this happen to me (and been late for work) just enough to now use a regular alarm clock -- it's actually a dock for my iPhone for which there's an app that lets me program the alarm (and radio stations). The dock's alarm functionality works independently of my iPhone, and works whether...

    How to easily add the new Outlook(.)com email account

    Just an FYI, setting it up as a 'Hotmail' account uses Exchange ActiveSync settings. You can also use the Exchange option with m.hotmail.com as the server, but it isn't necessary.

    What's your most common Siri command?

    Timers & Alarms... Great for parking meters. Once you name your alarms, you can turn on/off or change by name, ie: change my wake up alarm to 9am... turn on my siesta alarm... Weather forecasts, current conditions, current wind speed. Initiating internet searches. What time is it in [where...

    How is speaker for everyone?

    The new iPad speaker is >much< better than on my iPad 2. On the iPad, the media had to be very loud on it's own to be of much use at maximum volume. Not the case on the new iPad, even media with moderate volume levels can be heard clearly if the iPad is turned up all the way.

    Use Siri to access system preferences

    Doesn't quite work on my 4S, when I say 'bluetooth' or 'show me bluetooth' it shows me where the Bluetooth Sig is located in Seattle. I can however pull up the contact manually and tap the link, which works...

    iPad WiFi Owners- Do you regret not getting the 3g?

    3G I could maybe do without, but the fact that the WiFi-only model doesn't have a GPS chip is disappointing.

    iPhone 4 Reception Issue: Does it effect you?

    I had the signal problem with my first i4, swapped it out with a 2nd one, same thing. I returned it, will wait for the iPhone 4.5 ;) I did notice that while I could easily reproduce the problem in the Apple Store, their display models didn't have the problem. So... it's not a problem with all...

    iOS 4.01 for iPhone 4

    This device is perfect until you attempt to use it as a phone. Great reception on my 3GS all over town, including at home. Now, even when holding the phone 'correctly', reception drops (great for when mom calls). I can easily make it happen. I sure hope they come out with a solution, as I...

    Glass up or down?

    Glass down, but only because the Speck CandyShell case I use creates a lip for that purpose -- if I didn't have a case that created a lip, I'd be glass up... speckproducts.com/products/candyshell/iphone-3g-iphone-3gs/162
