anyones activated yet? my old sim has stoped working but new one hasnt started yet

 

[m4rkie23]

Have you turned the new phone off and then on?

I think it's funny how people are criticising retailers and networks because they have experienced busy levels that they have never before experienced.

It's hardly Apple's fault that everyone decided to QUEUE, is it?

 

[safe9998]

Love it!

 

[sneeks]

The bumper case slightly helps with signal issues but it does still drop in strength.

 

[FlameR]

may sound a stupid question, but which way up does the sim card go?

chip towards the screen or the back of the phone?

 

[Revels]

Look where the bit is with the 45 degree cut off.

Anyone having email issues with Yahoo Mail? Loads of emails dated from 1970, no sender or subject details, and I can't delete or read them. Don't show up in my 'actual' account when I check properly through Yahoo...?

 

[sneeks]

Do a search on Google for that problem, it's fairly common.

I'm loving having the net on my phone again, two weeks with a crap old Nokia was not at all fun. The screen on the iPhone 4 makes it suitable for browsing while sat in front of the tv. Glad I didn't buy a iPad.

 

[Pete Nov]

Yeah the screen and internet is so lovely, internet is uber quick for me aswell!

Anyone got any pictures with the bumpers on ?

 

[Ads_172]

Chees sneeks, I just deleted my account on the phone and set it up again. Working now.

 

[JJ!]

No signal problems, at all, 'topher, I want a screen protector for the back, but can't find one.

If you buy one for the front, buy the ones posted in my link, they need to be tri-layered, that way you can get them on 100000% perfect and they can look totally invisible tbh.

arrived from germany in 3 working days

buy 2 get 1 free too - they do the front also.

 

[Pete Nov]

Lol, I still havent been charged? If so, then WIN!

Does anyone know if the bumper cases are available in Apple outlets already ?

Ive always wanted one but didnt want to delay my delivery but ive also heard it fixes the no signal issue.

 

[ChrisPearson]

Cheers, works now

 

[m4rkie23]

Cheers, works now

[DaveLiquid182]

[andywright182]

[valver lad]

Went to Phones4u today to collect my "order" which wasn't there. I kicked off a bit seeing as I went into the shop at 0720 this morning to pick it up to be told to come back in the afternoon as they've not arrived yet!

Phoned up earlier to confirm they was in to be told "yes". The manager told me he would sort me out with something, which I guess is there crappy phone insurance which they try and sell me everytime!

Not a happy bunny ... but I've been "promised" one tomorrow ... hmmm!

 

[Ads_172]

I'm a tad concerned what the signal is going to be like once I leave my home... haven't once seen the '3G' logo yet which was ever-present on my previous iPhone when at home.

 

[Rhino172]

just finished setting mine up and syncing all my old stuff over...

i know its been said a million times but...OMG the screen!! it's 'mazin' lol

 

[ChrisH]

If the signal thing is os4 related at least its fixable with a sw update, i can make mine replicate the fault but it doesn't affect the use of the phone for me

 

[Brad182]

Yeah the screen and internet is so lovely, internet is uber quick for me aswell!

Anyone got any pictures with the bumpers on ?

I bought a bumper from Apple this morning, will try and get a pic up for you shortly.

Lol, I still havent been charged? If so, then WIN!

See above reply mate.

anyones activated yet? my old sim has stoped working but new one hasnt started yet

Gf and I got our phones about 08:30 this morning, apple activated both. My sim activated in a few hours but the GF is still waiting for the old one to deactivate. Have taken both sims out a few times but doesn't help. I know there're delays but people activating since then are using there micro sims now.

Will give it till the morning then call.

 

[andywright182]

bored of waiting now. Looks like it will be after today before it is working

 

[Spark]

Epic fail


Went to apple store today at 6.30. Told the queue was too long and had to come back tomorrow for my preorder ahwell my wee bro came with me so we wnt for sushi then in spoons for the japan game.

Ps he's 18 tomorrow so first time we have been to pub together

 

[ChrisH]

Some quick editing there, was about to say 8 is a little young!!

This signal thing is gay, if you're browsing in landscape and holding both ends of the phone you lose all signal making web browsing very slow or it just doesn't work as it has no signal.

 

[SirSimon]

f**k all of you... I am waiting for white!

 

[J273]

As anyone tested tomtom or copilot?

Its supposed to have a better broadcomm chip as per the ipad.

I couldn't rely on my 3gs as it just lost my location and lagged too far behind.

Is Iphone 4 better?

Thanks

 

[.Simon]

I hope I get mine tomorrow.

Co pilot has gone tits up I know that. GPS locks on super quick on maps though.

Don't bother with those pikeys at phones4u. Oh we'll have White iPhones! Oh really, I think most would settle for you to actually have iPhones full stop.

 

[Pete Nov]

Cheers Brad182, look forward to seeing the pics.

What do you make of the bumper so far then?

Thanks!

 

[The Ironist]

If your old sim has deactivated, reset iPhone 4 and it should then be activated.

Mine was activated within an hour, plugged it into itunes and my facetime is activated as well.

 

[Ads_172]

Haven't tried satnav but maps definitely lock on quicker and more accurately.

 

[ChrisH]

So is no one else having this signal problem??? or are we all ignoring it for now because of the screen!

 

[.Simon]

Not sure if this has been posted from BBC yet?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8759590.stm

 

[The Ironist]

Reset fixed facetime for her. My signal has been 4/5 bars but if i hold in right hand goes down to 1 bar...I guess they've made it so you have to buy their £25 bumper to fix it

 

[Ads_172]

Richard Warner, who bought his iPhone 4 on Wednesday morning, contacted BBC News, saying that he thought the phone was "useless in its current state".

SRS? Signal drops but the signal is still there for me...

Maybe his is useless because he bought it a day early... knock-off merchandise.

Just ignore it, it will go away...
