i don't think there's this 'best' time to charge. it all boils down to your preference/usage. all iPhone 3G (should apply to 3GS as well) are still able to retain 80% of its battery charge even after 400 times of charging cycle (100% - 0% = 1 cycle).
*
then is best to drain it all the way to 5% before charge it? because most of the time, i'll end up use the mophie juice pack to charge it.

Please advice smile.gif

Have few iPhone/Ipod touch questions

1. Basically, is iPhone good for gaming?? Now I'm considering whether to buy a PSP Go or an iPhone..

2. How much does an iPhone cost plus the contract?? Or should I just unlock the phone and use my current sim card?
*
Basically pap lacks in terms of functionality and games.

With iPhone, you do wonders. In gaming I have multi touch and accellrometer control. Beyond what pap can do.

Games, app store have abundance and there is free games. Paid start at 99 cents.

@jimmylim85,
New contacts are stored in the phone.

@ASAP,
If you use other SIM cards to test the phone and if it works that means it's not the fault of the iPhone.  If you asked me, your problem is not solved - so give it a test and see if it works.

@gkwee88,
Check out the other thread and follow instructions on how to create your own iTunes account.  http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/998251

@danni_boy,
I believe it's a network issue.  I've been having similar issues on Maxis the last few days.

How do I copy the new contact which is save on the phone to my sim card? Btw does the restore after the firmware upgrade retain my SMS?

Im using iPhone 3gs with maxis data line. So far I do not find any problem with maxis data line. Places where there is 3 g gives me a real fast speed compare to edge. Mine is not jailbreak.
Anyway, I've experiencing problem if I keep switching 3g to edge, my phone will somehow show no service and I need to reset it to get the line back. So what i do now is keep my 3g on all the time.
Mine is using the latest fw 3.12

Basically you do not need to reset the phone as the phone itself will auto search network. Wait around a minute will do.

ya i heard bout it as well...and they (forumer...from all over the world) said that hairline cracks was a common issue on iphone...especially the white one...more obvious...

if take for an exchange...do we need to wait for ...like...few days ...maybe weeks or months? or on the spot that take a brand new and unbox it right infront of u? i dont think so...right?
*
which part of the iphone you spot hairline cracks?

FOr RMA in Maxis set, will take weeks to months. As what was told by Maxis staff, only 3G are refurbished set given while 3GS is still consider new replacement as its just launch not long ago.

guys...just back from Maxis this morning...

they allow me to swap one to one...first they took out one brand new and unbox it infront of me, i check under a display shelf's dim lights (the cracks are almost invisible under Maxis Centre ambient lights)... some parts the cracks are less then the one im collected last nite, some part more worst...

then i request for 3rd one...again he unbox it infront of me...i check thru it again...i only found 2 hairline cracks...i consider it the best units...so i choose the 3rd one...
*
I wonder where does this hairline crack cause? Due to battery heat issue or manufacturing problems?

Current Firmware : 3.1.2
Current network: maxis
iTunes Version : 9
PC/MAC : PC
Jailbreaking software : Blackra1n
Problem Encountered : signal bar change to 'no service' when switch to 3G
Steps Taken So Far : just reboot the phone and everything become normal

Just wanna know wat happen? it happen quite frequent

There are times where it takes a much longer period to search 3g service. That cause the phone to trigger no service. Leave it alone for a minute and it will resume back to service either in 3g or edge.

Yes there is a sound. No idea where it came from. Must be a sensor.

Who knows... accelerometer sensor?
