Re: iPhone.. zomg
yep, Australia is the only place in the world where you have to pay for wifi at hotels
it should be free
worst case senario, if he wants to check it away from wifi, he can just flick data roaming back on momentarily.....
but beware, this is what I was doing... just flicking it back on only when I needed it.. I didn't do it that often at all (maybe 3-4 times)... As stated before $500 bill on return, so even the data you need when occaisionallly checking may be very expensive, especially if people are emailing attachments etc etc.

Re: iPhone.. zomg
Thank you so much guys!
i have learnt a fair bit about the old iPhone now!
So i have the settings as they need to be, and he will use the hotel wifi.
THANKS AGAIN!

Re: iPhone.. zomg
upgraded to 4.0 last night.
still trying to work out how to make most of it, though I have barely had a play so I'm sure it will come.
one great feature I immediately noticed is the combined inbox on your email. it has an All Inboxes inbox that contains all your emails from your various accounts. Is sweet and good time saver.

Re: iPhone.. zomg
I dun use the on board mail client anyways...
I still want to jailbreak again, as I miss SBSettings, Winterboard and iRealSMS, SSH, AVPlayer and MXtube tbh.. the new WIFI sync app also looks tres radical.
most of the tools only report to work on the Beta OS4, not prepared to try it on full release yet....
I have a problem with blank icons too... I installed a bunch of them on my last iPhone (for theming purposes) and now I've restored my new one with the old one's settings all the blank icons are still there (even without jailbreak :-/ ).... I delete them manually and they just re-appear (like 8 pages of them)... .pretty annoying.
I've looked into this and the only way I've found to get rid of them is to SSH into the phone and delete the contents of the "webclips" folder. Fucken, no good if you haven't jailbroken your phone. Anyone have any ideas how to stop this with a non-jailbroken phone?

Re: iPhone.. zomg
i dont really know if there is much difference tbh.
it looks prettier and yes, you can sorta multitask in that if your using an app and your phone rings, it takes you back the the app when you hang up...not sure what else it really does though....
but the mail thing is actually really annoying for me as my work account is set to forward to my gmail so i now get ow copies of each - argh.
BUT - i do like that it makes things into threads!
however - how do i make mac mail program do that too? guys here have threads in their inbox but mine doesnt do that and i cant figure out how...
any ideas ppl that use mac mail?

Re: iPhone.. zomg
just disconnect your work account from iPhone then you only get the forwarded copy.... I just use www.gmail.com in safari, it's HEAPS better than the inbuilt iphone email.
don't forget folders kitty, very handy..

Re: iPhone.. zomg
GK, in Mail, go View > Organize by Thread. Dinnae use myself, but prolly does what you're after. Instead of forwarding at all, you could just run all accounts through Mail (on 'puter and phone)...?
Protip for travelling with iPhone: keep it in Airplane Mode, use only WiFi and bring a cheapy prepaid for calls/texts.
Don't worry, I still don't have one, but I get to observe mathematicians, who are some of the cheapest people on the planet!

Re: iPhone.. zomg
folder... drag one icon and drop it on top of another.... hey presto, a folder is created.... It tries to guess what it going to be called, but you can rename it whatever you like.

I dunno if it's just AT&T being kings of the complete arse-reaming bastards (very possible,) but that seriously seems to be the most workable solution for peeps here. Of course, yer schmancy iPhone becomes just an incredibly small and awkward laptop, but you can still use wifi and will be guaranteed there is no giant data or voice roaming bill waiting for you when you get back.
Huh, odd. Although, having looked at it again, it will only thread messages in a given mailbox, (ie. in the Inbox, it'll just group mails you have received, not sent), so it may be too retarded to be worth investigatingghetto kitty wrote:retzie - i have tried that, its there but not bold, as in you cant click on it... - WHY?

I found if after a few rejections of the suggested word, it gerried. Have to click the cross tho as opposed to delete and re-typing. Tell you what mine WILL NOT stop changing - Me to Mr. Wtf?

Re: iPhone.. zomg
I'm all nervous about syncing my phone to a new computer because the laptop the phone was synced to originally was stolen. The dude at the Apple shop said to download Senuti and use that to back up, but i have no idea how to then get that onto iTunes then back onto my phone. CONFUSING!
THEN because i've had it unlocked so i can use the phone with a different sim overseas, I have to do a complete restore as well. Scurry.
I'm hopeless with this sort of thing and so nervous that i'm going to manage to delete all my contacts and applications. fucking technology...moreso fucking apple and their restrictions.
i guess there will be tutorials online. CBF.

Re: iPhone.. zomg
It should do, yeah.
Witty, just so you know, when i updated my phone, i lost all my text messages as well and pictures that i hadnt transferred over to iphoto. i had all these old texts come back, but not the new ones. So if you make sure youve transferred all your phone stuff over and have no txts you wanna keep.
When i got a new phone, i plugged it into itunes and hey presto, was updated back as per my last backup.
What Dan said makes sense, its your itunes account it wants to be linked too... woudlnt know how to make sure tho.
Good luck!

Re: iPhone.. zomg
not a hell of a lot really. multi-tasking and grouping apps into folders is all thats really new for 3G/3GS iPhones. the multi-tasking feature is good between apps, but i would have thought for example when running Safari and any other app that the page on Safari would load in the background but it doesn't...just resumes loading when u go back to Safari. something i would have liked as a so called 'multi-tasking' feature...youthful_implants wrote:what are the advantages of OS4?

Re: iPhone.. zomg
multi-task my arse - such a jib.
Supercoach example. I have supercoach open and want to switch to safari to check if players are names this week.
Each time I switch back to Supercoach app it has to restart. That is not multi-tasking.
Joke.

Re: iPhone.. zomg
some apps don't support it (like supercoach), but some do... the ones that do still don't really multi-task, they just pause themselves in the state they were in when they close (I'm guessing this is to conserve battery etc.)
some games are weird, I start the game and the character is just in the throws of dying, coz that's the point that I closed it down last.

Question.. Has anyone used an iPhone O/S? (in particular Japan?) Want to grab a SIM and use it over there (voice/data) ..
