When is the best percentage battery to charge Iphone 3GS? 30%?
*
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).

Hello everyone, just wondering if any iPhone 3G/3GS in white face any hairline cracks on their back? mainly the power switch, headphone jack and the cable connector area. My unit is just 1 week old and hairline cracks have already appeared on the phone.

@aurion:
there have been cases reported where i3G owners (white) experience hairline cracks at the back cover.

@serpent1990:

Maxis stated in their rules & regulations regarding that when comes to warranty, the owner of the phone needed to be present.

Thanks for your reply, teikwing. Just out of curiousity, can we replace it under warranty? As far as I'm concerned, users overseas can claim this under warranty and Apple Stores gave them an exchange unit on the spot.

i'm not too sure about local Maxis sets but you can try.

is there another way i can call without adding contact to favourite list?
cos now when i clicked a contact in the contact list it'll go to the contact profile instead of calling  them
*
when you're in the contact profile, tap on the number to call.

Ok, I will check and see how it goes. Thanks for the advice. Is it a common problem with iPhone? Thanks

i believe it's more to a network issue rather than the issue with iPhone itself. (from my past experience, on Maxis)

I can't change Maxis due to commitment but I need to know whether the problem is common and is it phone problem? If yes, I need to get replacement. Is it common problem among forumers?
*
how about troubleshooting the problem by using a sim from other telcos (eg. Celcom or DiGi) and see does the same issue arise?

No point trying other operators because I cannot change. When I off the 3g function in iPhone, I can use it as normal.

what i meant was obtaining a sim temporarily for troubleshooting purpose ie. borrow from a friend, in case you still don't get what i meant.

i don't think that's possible. a simple Google brought me to tons of results, one of them:

dear all, new ip 3gs user here. Need some advice on "Activate & Register Your iPhone". When I got my ip at maxis center,
the staff there help me to activate so  that I can make a call (i dono how they activate). My question is should i register again in
Itunes/ coz when i login itunes it keep prompt me to register. Is the Iphone number refer to our maxis hp number? My concern is if Maxis
already help me activate/registe, if i do it again may cause any conflict. Sorry for noob question, if this issue been raised before, pls
direct me to that session. Thanks in advance.
*
activate & registration is a 2 different process. just follow the instructions on iTunes & register it. and yes, iPhone number = mobile number. smile.gif

try it with various wireless AP and whether does other iPhones are not able to detect as well.

it may be issues with the AP, or iPhone's firmware/hardware.

Recently i am experiencing very slow downloads in itune and the link keeps on broken. The same goes to accessing the Apps Store as it take very long time to load up the page.
The worst part is i am unable to update the newest firmware as the same error msg 'The network connection timed out, Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again'. My internet connection is fine and able to surf and download from other website but always having problem with itune downloads.

Anyone can shed some light on this issues?
*
i have no issues with iTunes or downloading from the App Store. just downloaded the new firmware & purchased few apps last night. the culprit might be your internet connection.

you can download firmwares via direct link rather than through iTunes. check out the link given below, post #2.

wireless AP???
is it normal prob??
btw,my frenz using 3.1 FW....

AP = access point. ie. issues with your ISP, router connection etc. why don't you get another iPhone to log on to that particular network & see does the problem persist or restore the phone. smile.gif
