Hi..sorry if this question has been asked b4. Whether I want to call someone or receive a call..it will display the caller id & pic (if I set the pic to the caller). I've seen the vids on the apple website & YouTube as well. In the vid, when someone call or the other way around..it displAys the caller Id & small pic next to it. But in my case..the pic doesn't turn that way. It appears full screen instead of small image next to the caller id. How could I set it up? Tq
hi..anybody know ho to set it up? Thanks..

You have a fullscreen caller id because you are using the pictures in your iPhone with your contacts. Follow the guide below to have the smaller picture as per the Apple site. Many others have been using this method below.

I tried asking in the Finance section and I seem to have got a negative answer.

But just to check with other iphone users here, is it possible to use Maybank's online share trading service (assuming one has an account to do so with Maybank) on Iphone? It runs an active X program which I have been told even Win Mobile explore can't run....is this true?

Thanks for the help in advance..cheers!

Sadly, iPhone does not support ActiveX or flash sites and hopefully it will soon.

Bro. g3n, standby meaning the phone is not used at all. So, there is a possibility that it can happen though I have not heard of anyone not using their phone for 5 days straight. So, it is hypothetical unless someone wants to test it out.

Possible..I have a screenshot of the phone lasting 5 days to 6 days long. Not much of outgoing and income calls. Daily on Texas Hold 'Em for 1/2 hr.

Friends. Just wondering if there is a limitation in putting the number of icons under the iPhone desktop?  I've reached 12 pages but new apps installed apps icon will not display after the 12th page is full.

Read the link below.

1. How many springboard pages does iPhone 3.0 allows?
A: Users are allowed 11 pages estimating 180 applications but there's no limit on the number of apps you can install except drive space, other apps will be installed without an icon, but can still be accessed and launched from Spotlight.

I'm on basic use as you do. Calls, sms etc but current batt can last 3-4 days long. What i have posted for you are the things i have done to acheive the long lasting batt.

Anyway, if you really think there's issue with your phone batt, then send it back to Maxis and let them check it out.

i actually did everything that has been listed in the threads you sent smile.gif

but somehow this is killing my batt !! is it because it has been JBed?

Mine is JBed as well. No issues. How long do you charge your phone? Have you tried charging your phone for 4 hrs using the USB cable to comp, then shutdown and restart your phone?

i think it takes less than 4 hours for me to get full charge o.O is that an battery issue ?
*
The iPhone batt gets charged within 1 1/2 hrs (fast charge).

If you want to have a long lasting batt period, charge it for 4 hrs long. I have asked some of the forumers to try this out and it works.

If you charge till you see 100% (within 1 /1/2 hrs) and immediately use it or place it in standby mode, the batt will deplete from 100 to 98% after a short period of time. I've tested this numerous times.

My batt 100% status stays even after 6 hrs + or even a day with 4 hrs charging time.

Read this thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1085501/+460?hl=batt

*Last resort: You can restore your phone and select " Setup as new iPhone".

wat firmware are you using?

carbonfibre, im using 32gb and having the same issue... i just unplug my phone from power source @ 8.30 just now after overnite charging,
and now it left 55%, only 20 sms and 3minutes of calls, consumes tat much of power? im still using OS 3.0 btw...
*
I'm on Fw 3.0 as well.

As stated in the pinned thread: Unusual battery depletion is almost always caused by people choosing to “Restore from backup” instead of “Setup as new iPhone” when iTunes asks you. This isn’t caused by either the jailbreak or the unlock, but it’s a common 3.0 snafu. The fix is to just re-run the official 3.0 restore and choose “Setup as new” this time. Your music and apps and all that will still be synced, but you’ll get rid of any conflicting wifi, bluetooth, or carrier settings.

Maybe the best solution for you and carbon is to do the above mentioned. I have always choose "Setup as New iPhone" given that 3.0 and above thus have batt depletion issues.

done the setup as new iphone method... still the same... im looking for a mac to pwn my iphone to 3.1.2 now... you think is there any chance that it might solves the problem? (my setting is already at the minimal power consumption and while comparing it together with my 3g 8gb, my 3g can last trice the time of my 3gs)

I reckon 3GS does consume batt more the 3G unit. Hopefully those who are using 3GS can chip in on your matter.

To update your phone to 3.1.2, you can look for Hanxz to help you out as he owns a Mac and he can advise you on how to go about with some issues you're facing.
