iPhone 4 Reception Issues

Posted on by

OK so I have been catching up on all the things/stuff about the iPhone 4.

Some have been reporting reception issues with there iPhone 4 going from Full/4 Bars Service down to nothing but strangely enough they are still able to make calls.

So now it comes all down to these few things

1. Is it the Antenna on the outside?
2. Is it a simple software bug that needs ironing out?
3. Is it a bad design mainly the Antenna on the outside?
4. Is it the Telco at fault?

It’s a really hard one to tell mainly because the iPhone 4 hasn’t hit Australia yet but we will see what happens when it hits the Australian shores to see if it happens in Australia as well.

There are some YouTube videos of people having these issues and you can view them below.

The other question would be could it just be a bad batch going around since it is in the early stages of being released lets hope so I don’t think there would be too many happy customers out there unable to use there iPhone 4 to the way they would like with some of these issues that have been popping up however as I said could just be a bad patch or even maybe reception issues in there location.

Now there is something that might fix this issue until the bug has been ironed out and that is a iPhone 4 bumper (rubber case) for the phone and see what happens.

Take a look at the iPhone 4 case here

According to a Danish Professor who’s an expert in Antenna’s says the antenna’s on the outside of phone can cause a lot of issues. You can read the article by going here.

Here are some videos

iPhone iOS 4 Due Soon

Posted on by

It’s only a couple of hours away until we can finally upgrade to the iOS 4 for the iPhone and iPod which is free and so it should be..

Keep your eye out because it’s going to be an interesting couple of days when multiple millions of people try to download the new OS Upgrade and the I hope that the Apple Servers are able to keep up with the demand that is going to be put on the servers and no issues.

I know myself personally can’t wait to this update to become available but the wait for the download to occur is going to be most fun not lol..

I’m thinking that the update will be available in certain regions like the US and overseas were as the Australian people have to wait for it to become available like we have to wait for the iPhone 4 to hit Australia just as it took a while for the iPhone 3GS to arrive how is it that we are left out for so long.

Anyway not long now I can’t wait to give the new iOS 4 a run

iPhone iOS 4

According to iphonehacks.com the new iOS 4 will be available for download on the 21st June 2010 and from what I have seen and what is going to be on this new OS I can’t wait to try it out.

Here are some sweet additions to the update that are coming out these are my favs..

Multitasking:

iPhone users will finally be able to run iPhone apps in the background. To achieve this Apple will be offering developers seven multitasking services, which will allow their iPhone app to run in the background while preserving performance and battery life.

Folders:

Users will be able to organize iPhone apps on their iPhone home screen into folders. Users will be able to drag and drop apps into folders.

This means iPhone users will be able to install 2160 apps instead of the current limit of 180 iPhone apps.

Better Mail app:

You will now be able to see messages from multiple email accounts in a unified inbox. iPhone OS 4.0 will also allow you to organize messages by threads, and even be able to open attachments in third-party iPhone apps.

iBooks:

iBooks app will be available on the App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch users so they will be able to browse, buy, and read ebooks.

Cellular Data Toggling: You have an option to toggle cellular data on or off. (i think this one will be most interesting to see if it will be available in Australia aswell)

iPhoto Syncing: iPhoto users can sync their photos to the iPhone via Events, Faces and Places. This will work for the iPad too.

Lyrics Data Toggling: A new global toggling option gives you the ability to turn the display of lyrics on or off.

Photo Resize Option: Users sending large-size image files via email can choose to resize the photo on the go by selecting from the four different file size options.

Add Playlist: The current on-the-go playlists will be replaced by the ‘Add Playlist’ option in iPhone OS 4 that will be automatically synced back to the users’ iTunes account.

Location Services For Apps: You can enable or disable location services for each location based apps via Settings -> Location Services. Also, you also get visibility on the apps that have most recently accessed this information using the compass arrow icon.

Email Threading: You can organize emails by thread in the Mail app just like in Gmail. Email threading option can be turned on or off via Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar and turn on or off the ‘Organize By Thread’ toggle.

Longer Passcodes: Passcodes will no longer be limited to just 4 numbers. You can set a more secure alphanumeric and longer passcode for your iPhone. You can currently use the iPhone Configuration utility to achieve this.
