Picked up a bumper today, it's actually not too bad! Obviously not as pretty as the metal edging but still looks quite slick...

Also means I can chuck it around in work and not worry about the metal or "unscratchable" back getting scratched.

The little box in your iPhone 4 box has a small metal thing attached inside the cover. It looks a little bit like a paperclip. Get that, and put it through the small hole on the side of the iPhone. This will release the micro-sim tray.

Pics of the bumper, as promised!

 

[SirSimon]

I like that... Where you get that from?

That's the Apple official bumper. Painful at £25 but I have to admit it's good quality and suits the phone...

looks good, im glad the 4 doesn't have a bezel like the 3 has, nightmare to try not scratch it.

Anyone have problems with their proximity sensor?

 

[Russ.]

Anyone have problems with their proximity sensor?

Is that the sensor that turns the screen off when the phone is by your ear when on the phone?

If so, i am...phone keeps pressing the mute button when against my face. Really annoying

 

[Ads_172]

I'm not but it's a known problem. Looks like it's more related to a certain batch than a widespread problem. Well, I guess it's still widespread if a batch contains 10's of thousands if units!

 

[Ste#70]

Any news on it fitting the tomtom cradle yet?

 

[Omid]

Its b****cks, I wonder when this first batch will be done with and they might start listening to these problems and fixing it. I would sack all the testers tbh

 

[ChrisH]

Mines just turned the loudspeaker on when it touched my face, oh well will have to see if it carries on doing it, if it does i'll nip into apple into apple next week for a swap

The sensor issue seems to be genuinely sporadic - not a problem on mine.

Mine does that mainly, but sometimes it adds calls or brings up the keypad and number crunches. Hopefully it will be a firmware fix?

Finally just picked mine up - got the last one in Bluewater!

Just plugged it into iTunes but it's telling me the size is 14Gb and no 16Gb, is this a problem? Should they show 16Gb?

 

[172Ben]

2gb of it is the OS i believe?

 

[Omid]

2gb of it is the OS i believe?

Plus 16GB is the unformatted capacity, as with hardrives etc.

Can take up to 2 hours between sims

 

[Ads_172]

Aye, can take a bit of time. Also try switching the phone off & on and plugging into iTunes.

 

[.Simon]

f**k me this thing is quick!

CoPilot runs like a dream on it!

Picked my phone up today!

As a n00b to iPhone.. if i've got wifi switched on and am connected to a network (like home) will it always use that connection>?

and only if that is not available will it use the data?

When you're out and about do you always search for an available wifi connection before using your data?

 

[m4rkie23]

LOL.
Went to Ross on Wye earlier with the GF.
Walked into Phones4u and on the offchance said "have you got any iphone 4's".

Turns out they had one 32gb left.

Atleast the moaning will stop. All ive heard since thursday is I WANT ONT BLAH ETC

Yeah if you're on WiFi then it won't use your data allowance.

Girlfriend just tried to update to 4 on her 3g and it said it couldn't restore - deleted the ipsw file or whatever it's called and tried it again but it just said again can't restore so her phones bricked and moaning at me for suggesting it :-/

 

[J273]

Does copilot manage to keep track of your position?


Or does it lag at all and lose your position.

i couldn't rely on my 3gs with tomtom nor co-pilot as it would drift off and id be in the next field rather than my actual position.

I also went in there earlier to see if they had any voda PAYG sim. Thought I'd see whether they had any cases but none till next week.

I forgotten about the sim which is a big FAIL on my part.

He did suggest taping the phone to my arm with gaffa tape to prevent me from dropping it. hmm

Not tried it out properly but had a little play indoors ... my 3G worked pretty well with CoPilot, it was a little slow but perfectly acceptable!

 

[m4rkie23]

Tried tomtom (updated version) on the iPhone4 today.
Worked quicker than on the 3GS.
If you close it, make sure you close it in the multitask bar or it will keep running (unlike other apps)

 

[Adam]

CoPilot also does that even though it has been updated.

 

[Matt W]

Got my hands on an iphone earlier today. Can't get over how good the screen is!

I'm in love with it.

 

[Omid]

I'm in love with it.

Bit sad lol.
