Is there no way for me to copy files to my iPhone? Say, I have a few PDFs I wanna read, is there a way of importing them so I can read it on the iPhone?

Is there any way of syncing photos from multiple folders? Currently iTunes only allows syncing from one specific folder, and if I select another folder, it automatically deletes all photos on my iPhone that were from another folder.

WTA smth with the headphones of the iphone4. I juz try it with my Steelseries Siberia Full Headset and i found out that there are some problems wit the sound (not getting the full sound?). and at the plug there, i notice my siberia has only 2 stripes while c/w iphone headphone has 3 stripes on it. may i know what is causing this problem o is there any alternative ways i can use my headset?

3 stripes because the extra is for the mic. Perhaps the iPhone just isnt powerful enough to drive full-sized headphones?

iPhone got its own sensor for light, like the more brighter place the brighter the display. So it's easy to see the display. Sometimes it's very slow to pick up the environment, I have to torchlight the censor so it'll bright instantly in the dark area tongue.gif

lol ok let me try it later.

Btw, is there a quick way to purge all multitasked apps? Because presently, the phone stores all closed apps and I have to double tap the home button and then close them one by one. I'm afraid having so many apps open will drain the battery and cause slow performance.

How come when I turn off cellular data and go into messages, a prompt will ask me to turn on cellular data? SMS doesn't use cellular data.

Btw, do you guys keep cellular data (not 3G) on all the time? Or off?

Does anyone feel the speaker on the iPhone is utterly crap? I really do mean utterly. Ringtones sound like shit.

Also I havent had many calls yet, but from what I've heard even the ear speaker sounds bad as well. Voice doesn't sound clear at all.

Not the default ringtone, try playing a song from the speaker. It's far worse than my old Sony Ericsson W800 phone.

It's either the speaker truly sucks or my iPhone has a defect. The sound is heavily distorted.

I think my iPhone may have defects.

Sometimes I'm unable to make calls. When I try to make one, I simply hear 3 quick beeps and the phone says "call failed" and "call ended". The call quality itself is pretty poor, speech is still comprehensible and loud but sounds unclear and muffled, with an echo-like effect. My signal bars quite often drop to 2 or 3, sometimes even 1 (I'm on Digi). 3G speed is usually 0.3 to 0.5mbps.

Do you think there's something wrong with my unit?

not sure about the call failed and call ended problem.
for the signal, do you actually hold the ip4 "incorrectly"? do you touch the death grip?
and if i'm not mistaken digi 3g speed is on average of 700kbps where 0.3~0.5 should be normal? correct me if i'm wrong... notworthy.gif

By death grip do you mean covering the two gaps on the lower part of the metal band? No I dont do that, and I have a SGP silicon case so it shouldn't be a problem right?

we already discuss this before.
my personal opinion on the "call failed" and "call ended" that been an issue on my 2g.
Mine is at&t set.So what i did,download the latest available firmware from direct iTunes.
Just unlock using Redsnow.No Jailbrake by Cydia.
Since then,my problem solved.
Since you mention the signal bars quite drop 2,3,try to reflash as what i did(advise only) and install new firmware.Fyi,iOS 4.2 is out.
I heard signal bugs are fixed on iOS 4.2.Give a try and see.
If still on problem,bring back to Digi and claim for new phone...
*
But iTunes says my iPhone firmware is up to date (4.1).

EDIT: I tried doing a hard reset (Sleep + Home button), problem still present, so I did a restore from iTunes, and now it's downloading a 590MB update. Is this 4.2?

Itunes only says like that because its preset in you iTunes.
So which mean iTunes only will check for new software and firmware update  after several period(which stated blow the CHECK FOR UPDATE button.

Im not sure wether you downloading iOS 4.2.
If you click restore and then update,then it should be iOS4.2
Do update us back hows the performance you feel on iOS4.2

I googled and actually my problem (call failed/call ended) is widespread and has been present since the early days of iPhone. The solution is to go to Settings > General > Date and Time > (Here, switch off "Set Automatically" and manually select your hometown). Then manually set the date and time. And then Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID > Switch ON. I actually had the problem when I first got the phone a few days ago, and I followed those steps and it worked... until today when it resurfaced. I just used Set Automatically and then turned it off again and I can now make outgoing calls, but it seems this is yet another iPhone issue. I find it appalling that there are so many issues in a premium smartphone.

Anyway, Apple servers are slow so it's gonna take a few hours to download the update.

P/S: I clicked the check for update button to manually check for updates and it will still say no updates.

thats an alternative tweak for getting rid.i read that long time ago.
why dont you send for warranty by the time you encounter that ?
as i shared on the previous post are my personal experience.
that how i get rid of that.no not a big deal.

As i said,its depends on the connection.just plug the data cable and wait till it download and install in your phone.
If the problem still rise on your iTunes,open apple.com and look for bottom page.
but wait,its seems there a problem on 4.2.let me check.

I already installed the 590mb update. Problem is still there. Oh and it's not iOS 4.2, which I read isn't actually released yet. I think I'll go back to the Digi centre later. I have an SGP ultra crystal screen protector on it though , can I take it off and apply it later? It ain't cheap.

So I will have to get my iPhone replaced to get rid of the unable to make outgoing calls problem. No one at BTS Digi knows what's wrong. New stock is coming in sometime this week, hopefully on wednesday as that's a public holiday. The Digi rep said a large number from the new stock will be used to replace defective iPhones. I find it very disappointing that a premium-tiered, premium-priced phone can have so many problems. Thinking of emailing Steve Jobs to see if I get a response biggrin.gif

Oh, and I tried the call quality on another iPhone there, and I think I can safely say the voice quality for calls on the iPhone is crap. It seems the newer a phone is, the crappier it sounds.

How do I set google search in safari to use .com.my instead of .co.uk? It auto detected my location at first and changed it accordingly but after a recent restore it's now using .co.uk again.

When my iPhone is in locked mode and I get a call, talk and then end the call, it goes back to sleep mode immediately, which is fine. But when I slide to unlock, I am greeted with the phone app screen. I want it to display the regular springboard instead. How do I do this?

Huh, dont get what you mean. After you are done with call and didn't automatically bring you back to springboard. Just press home button will do? If this is what you are looking for.
No I mean when I slide to unlock the phone having previously answered a call, iPhone does not display the home springboard screen. Instead it's the recent contacts list in the phone app that is displayed. I can still press the home button to return to the main screen but it's a bit annoying.
