Itunes & IPhones

**Prada** · 09-07-2008, 06:53 PM

Guys Im on my ITunes application and it says that I have to REGISTER my IPhone. So there is a button for REGISTER LATER but I can see the REGISTER NOW button. Im guessing its towards the right but I cant scroll towards the right. WTF? Steve Jobs is a vicious person....I attached a screen capture. Thanks

Just looks like iTunes screwed up. Possibly get it off your system and reload it. Other then that I don't know what to tell you. Mine fired up nice and easy when I did mine in December.

You get the new 3G model?

Is your iPhone already setup with an account or are you trying to setup an account through iTunes? Need more info.

**Prada** · 09-08-2008, 07:28 PM

No even when I updated my ITunes its the same problem.

Carlos, well my handset is working. I can make calls, surf web, wifi etc. I was trying to install a few software and thats when the register issue came up.

Remove and reinstall iTunes. Make sure you have the latest version.

**Prada** · 09-09-2008, 08:31 PM

Well for example I trying to get facebook onto my IPhone. So I DL the application as you can see but I cant tranf the icon into my IPhone. It gives me a circle with a bar in it.

BTW: The ringtones are really disgusting. lol

Go to SETTINGS and then select CARRIER. It will search and offer you all available providers. Depending on you SIM it will probably offer you the company you are with.

**Prada** · 09-10-2008, 08:51 PM

I just DL it directly from my Iphone, instead. It works.
Curious:What applications have you added?

Where are you getting your ringers from? do you buy them from Itunes and edit the song and then upload the ringer into your iphone? There is a free sit where you can get about any song out there already made into a ringer.

Thanks guys. Im going to check it out.

Carlos I DL the IM application, rather simplistic but gets the job done.

For those a tad disappointed, like me, in battery duration, I asked a colleague at work about battery sparing tips.

How to Increase Your iPhone 3G Battery Life

* Turn on 3G only when you need it. I found that having 3G turned OFF saved battery life (duh!). Using EDGE actually isn’t that painful
* Turn off Location Services.
* Turn off Auto-Brightness. Manually move the slider to 25% or 33% brightness.
* Turn off WiFi until you need a hotspot. The iPhone’s WiFi will automatically try connecting to SSIDs it detects.
* Turn off Push. Change your Fetch schedule to Manually.
* Set Auto-Lock to 1 minute.
* Turn off Bluetooth.
* Limit GPS use unless you really need it.
* Do a monthly battery calibration. According to the Apple website, you should be doing this periodically. Give your iPhone a full charge, then let the battery run out. Recharge.

o Usually with lithium-ion batteries this is not necessary as they maintain no “memory effect”…but it’s worth a shot.

Hope this helps!

New firmware came out today that fixes the bugs, reception and battery issue. Check for update in iTunes 8.0 to get it. It's firmware 2.1.

I'm running it now and it's fast and stable. My apps are no longer crashing and I'm getting better single strength.

I just downloaded as well and it seems to be pretty good.

As usual Carlos you have saved the day in the gadget corner yet again.

No problem.

**Prada** · 09-14-2008, 05:28 PM

Ok I was reading on how to get Firmware 2.1 as it explains here.
http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/

Quite straight forward. But of course I have to register the product. Yet all it dowa is stays on this following pg, and saves a file on my desktop. This even after upgrading my iTunes 3 times.

**Prada** · 09-14-2008, 06:56 PM

Ok forget it it was screen resolution that was hiding the button on the right. Will test this new firmware.

**StoneGRMI** · 09-16-2008, 01:41 PM

What cases/screen guards do you guys use? I ordered the invisible shield for the screen but I'm looking for a thin yet protective case that can take a drop here and there as I'm pretty rough on my phones. Any thoughts?

**Prada** · 09-17-2008, 07:36 PM

^^^ Yeah Im looking for a thin, flimsy covering just enough to protect from scratches. The only ones I see are bulky looking and unattractive.

**mex83** · 09-18-2008, 10:18 AM

I have to agree with you guys.... I am currently using a silicon one those are pretty good since the yare the thinnest I have seen and they do protect from drops... best of all they dont break like the plastic covers.

I thought mine was the only one that crashed the apps after I would turn it off and on again.... since I DL firmwire 2.1 it hasnt done it so yeah..... it rocks now.

also I dont get the messed up text messages like before .....

one last thing is it me or did the spearker volume improved on 1 gen Iphones with this new 2.1 software?

**Prada** · 09-18-2008, 08:38 PM

I still feel the battery life is weak. I even turned off the 3G. If it would last me two full days Id be content but its last me over a day. I might try the battery calibration
