iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (READ THE FIRST POST!!!)

Can see it fitted on these video's. I know there is the issue with the slight orange peel effect, but IMO it's better than an ugly case.

Has anyone got a pic of their iphone with a ZAGG shield on, fitted properly?

you know u can get sheets of sticky back carbon fibre...


DO IT.

 

[m4rkie23]

I want to see the back of the phone lol. Just would rather put it down knowing it wont scratch. looking after the 3GS paid off big time!

I have a Zagg InvisibleShield fitted. Took me ages. The back is on fine, but the front really f*cked with my head! Its still not 'perfect' and I can't do it again as I have run out of the 'solution' and its stuck on quiet tight. My front shield is particularly 'orange peely' and its ruining the 'retina display' experience!

Careful when applying the shields, its a wet application so keep it OUT of your speakers/holes etc when applying it! Also, do NOT get ANY dust / dirt on the shield, its impossible to get it off! I soaked my front one in soapy water, let it dry a bit and it got just as sticky again, then applied it with the solution again.

Fantastic if you can get it right, covers the front back sides etc. I didnt bother with the sides as I have a 'bumper'. BUT, putting the bumper on makes the shield peel a bit, and youre supposed to let it 'cure' for 12+ hours. Mines been on 2 days and its still f*cking peeling.

Gonna order a replacement and try again methinks!

Just pulled my phone out of my pocket to see a nice 10mm long scratch on the front screen. P1ssed me right off lol. So much for hardened glass

 

[ben_p]

Mine has a scratch too

The battery life is killing me too, it lasts til around 6pm before it dies each day!

Thought is was supposed to be better?

 

[.Simon]

Mine is - lasted just over 3 days!

 

[ben_p]

FFS, I've well been dished a turd

 

[Laura]

i have a scratch too, only slight but annoying non the less, esp when ive been so careful with it

 

[Adam]

lol just like your mum

 

[EllD90]

I've heard your hair acts as a static charge to the iPhone 4 battery. Sorry Ben.

 

[ben_p]

lol just like your mum

Shush you

 

[ben_p]

I f**king hate this phone lol (and my hair).

Get a wig with an inbuilt charger?

 

[Brookie.]

Yeh k don't think I'll bother doing the edges, I imagine it all gets a bit fiddly haha.
A tip for anyone who is ordering a zagg case, there's a seller on amazon.co.uk selling them. Around the same price from zagg.com with the discount code applied and obviously delivered quicker as the seller is in the UK.
When mine turns up I'll get it on the phone and take some good quality pictures for anyone who is interested in how it looks.

Btw, just downloads tapatalk, pretty good. From the sounds of it most of you are already using it anyway!

 

[EllD90]

I should've stuck with the 3GS tbh. I'd be better off with signal, 2 hours sleep, £80 and 6 months less contract.

 

[DeeKay86]

I'm definately finding the battery a lot better than my old iPhone!!

I can shave some off for you and deliver it in the post. Ginger estate agent hair. Perfect match?

I believe Zagg.com posts from Manchester.

Ohh Ohh, i'm pretty sweet at crafts too!

 

[Adam]

lol

 

[Ads_172]

My battery is about the same but I'm using my phone way more than I did my 3G!

People picking up scratches - are you putting your phone in your pocket with keys or coins or something?!? I've never put any of my phones in a pokey with anything else.

 

[Peanut Butter]

Im at the point where im checking apple shop and this thread several times a day... i want the white!!

+1

Mine is in a leather sleeve, with nothing else.
Keys, money and wallet always in opposite pocket.

 

[Ads_172]

Yep. Keys and coins in one pocket, phone in the other and wallet in back pocket.

 

[Nick_P]

I never keep my phone in with scratchy things, ie it has its own pocket, yet it still manages to get scratched

 

[sneeks]

My phone is always stored in a pocket away from everything else. Battery life has been exceptional so far and I'm making heavy use of the internet most days too.

 

[dk]

How the f**k have people managed to scratch them already, my 1 yr old 3GS hasn't got a single scratch and it's got no stupid screen protector and is kept in my pocket without a case.

I just can't understand how people manage it.

 

[Matt W]

+1 for no scratches. Had a motorola phone for 4 years and it has one small mark on it ( from dropping out my window at 30mph...)

I've been flat out on the internet since i've had the phone and only used 30mb. Never going to get near the 750mb limit!

 

[philmots]

Yep. Keys and coins in one pocket, phone in the other and wallet in back pocket.

Just wat I do and it's still scratched lol, love to know how I done it!

Because not everyone treats it like its a Faberge egg?

At the end of the day its a phone, some people just use and abuse them and see them as a "tool", others, like myself, treat it with care as its a nice bit of tech, I'd screw if I scratched my tv or laptop too!

 

[KandyKing]

Anyone know how long the waiting list is on Voda if I was to order the phone today?

 

[Dansta]

Has anyone on O2 managed to haggle the data allowance at all? 500mb limited is a bollock and a half. i'm told I can up it to 1gb for £5 a month but considering trying to get this waved?

Any comment on this? Anyone concerned about the 500mb limit? And have upped it?

 

[RoryW]

You got no chance

 

[colossuss]

You havnt got no chance, but you'll have to wait

O2 probably wont move on prices until the white iPhone 4 has been out for a couple of months

 

[JD]

Mid July was the last thing I heard. But two weeks isn't that bad.

 

[tyranical]

Does anyone know when O2 are going to be selling the i4 on PAYG? Stupid idiots messed up my i4 purchasing by not accepting preorders when originally their site said they would be, I ended up missing out on the apple preorders by waiting for O2 and they let me down :-( and now I'm rolling i4'less

Apple hiring iPhone antenna engineers for some reason

Three Apple job postings for iPhone / iPad antenna engineers to "Define and implement antenna system architecture to optimize the radiation performance for wireless portable devices." All three were posted on June 23rd, the same day that we started seeing widespread reporting of the left-handed reception issues. Coincidence?
