After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
I was having issues with iTunes synching my songs, and they would start at least 10 seconds into the song and jump to different songs, etc. I did a few uninstalls, registry cleaning, but nothing helped. Finally this morning I found a thread about iTunes problems when using ZoneAlarm firewall...
Just came back from AT&T. The rep would have exchanged with phone with no problem, but they are now out of stock. He called a few other area stores, but no luck. He suggested making an appointment at the Apple store because they have a good supply of phones. I can't get there until Saturday...
I encountered the same problem when I got my phone on Monday, and using speakerphone seemed to solve it.
However, today I'm having a similar problem: I can hear fine on incoming/outgoing calls, but the callers are having a hard time hearing me (saying I sound like I'm under water) until I turn...
Sorry, my post wasn't very clear. Even though the tones are showing up in my ringtones folder in itunes and on my phone, they won't play (either in itunes or when I preview them on my phone). They are in the correct format, yet they won't play. I didn't have any trouble with them working on...
If you decide not to stay with Verizon and stick with T-Mobile, you can purchase a 3GS or 4 as another poster suggested. I purchased a 3GS a few months ago and have had no problems using it on T-Mobile. While I can't take advantage of 3G speeds, I'm on wifi 99% of the time, so it's not an...
I had a blackberry for 3 years and when I made the switch to an iphone I thought the red light would be one of the things I really missed. Turns out I haven't missed it at all.
Yes, it works in the background - the only thing I did after the installation was restart the phone, and my battery problem was solved. My problem was due to data constantly being used to download proper push certificates. Push Doctor fixed that issue, so data usage went back to normal and my...
I didn't have any problems with installation and everything worked on the first try. I did read of others having to install a few times to get it working, but you've already tried that. Maybe you can search for push doctor installation problems and find some help on why it's not installing for...
Are you noticing a lot of data usage? I know your phone isn't unlocked, but if you see a lot of data usage you may want to try Push Doctor. My unlocked 3gs was constantly using data to download proper push certificates, and Push Doctor fixed the problem. I had absolutely horrendous battery...
Try adding these settings:
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
MMS Max Message Size: 1048576
MMS UA Prof URL: https://www.apple.com/mms/uaprof.rdf#mn_p
I'm also with T-mobile and was having problems until I added these settings. Hope it works for you as well.
I purchased a jb/unlocked 3GS 4.1 os to use on t-mobile. I wanted to make sure I liked the phone before possibly changing carriers to ATT&T. I'm so happy with my decision - I LOVE my phone, it works great on t-mobile, and I'm saving money by staying with t-mobile (plus I still have an...
Thank you so much for posting this. I bought my 3gs already jb and unlocked and am on t-mobile. I had to turn off cellular data to get good battery life (when it was on I also had high data usage when I wasn't using the phone).
I installed Push Doctor about an hour ago, have cellular data on...
I purchased an unlocked, jb 3GS 4.1 a few weeks ago and the battery life was just horrible. After trying many things, what worked for me was turning off cellular data. My battery life is vastly improved - I'm charging it at night, but that's only because I like to have a fully charged battery...
Thanks for your reply. I've had 3G turned off since I got the phone, as I am aware that T-mobile uses different bands. I turned cellular data off because I noticed huge amounts of data being transmitted when I checked my account online. I believe that it was causing the battery to drain...
I'm yet another convert - just got my iphone 3gs last week and I love it. The only thing that I thought would take some getting used to is no physical keyboard, and my concern was for nothing - I'm typing almost as fast as I did on my bb.
