"Is the iPhone speaker stereo? Why only onesided?" [MOST SHOCKING QUESTION EVEN ASKED]

WHY MY IPHONE 3G/3GS SPEAKER ON THE RIGHT NOT WORKING? DUH!!!!




WHY MY IPHONE 4 SPEAKER ON THE LEFT NOT WORKING? DUH!!!!



Why buy such expensive gadget and don't bother read the manual?

Please read the manual that comes with the iPhone. It's given to you for a reason and for you to understand the functions of the iPhone. Even Maxis and Digi provide a guide book stating where the speaker and mic is.

I hope this helps (the picture will do the talking): https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1548732/+1

Please read this as well: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/868281 and download the iPhone IOS4 User Guide.

For everyone to have a good laugh.

This is the dopiest thing that ppl can answer when they don't do a proper research or have no idea whatsoever what they ar answering. It's not the question that's wrong, it's the person who answer..he deserve massive facepalm..

Q: It keeps coming out error message like this:
Error 1920.Service Bonjour Service (Bonjour Service) failed to start.

The answer is: Bonjour is Apple Inc.'s trade name for its implementation of Zeroconf, a service discovery protocol. Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network using multicast Domain Name System service records.

This is what the forumer answer without knowing anything about Banjour: what language did u select friend?

HAHAHAHA..what a joke. Bonjour has nothing to do with language! We're not talking French here! Bonjour does not mean 'hello', kay?

Want more More?

Q: will upgrading IOS 4.0.2 to 4.1 clear all my data on the phone?

This is what the forumer answer without knowing anything about upgrading firmware: do not upgrade to ios 4.1, once upgrade ur ip will turn to ipad

HAHAHAHA..What the heck??? iPhone turn into iPad...lololololz.

the iPhone will disconnect from the wifi automatically after some time (provided it is on 'sleep' mode).

Push notifications; disable them.


and for mails, set to manual

what's the origin of your iPhone 4?

search

it is safe (provided that you don't jailbreak your iPhone)

to make my point clear, you can read this article


even it can be loaded, a disclaimer will pop up to inform you that your iPhone is jailbroken and this will shortly ensue.

i'm using my iPhone for CBA, commsec, westpac for my mobile banking.

which obviously suggest that your iPhone shouldn't be jailbroken for Westpac's Security Guarantee to take place

yes.

of course, the obvious one would be protecting your PIN/code in the public.

unless the bank is some dodgy one that doesn't protect its customers...

that's just the beta.

don't mislead the rest

who is gonna you if you are not keen to help yourself?

quoting from the first post of this thread itself:

adui. please place spoilers la.

i would suggest that you try with another PC/MAC first.

these errors code sometimes can be quite obscure

please place spoilers.

a few suggestions:

1. the firmware that you download may be incomplete or in error. try again, but this time with a download program like DAP.

2. try upgrading your iTunes

3. try upgrading the firmware to iOS 4.1

4. sometimes a weak/unstable internet connection can also hamper the activation/verification part

This post has been edited by nokia2003: Sep 17 2010, 08:05 PM

please place spoilers (third time)

not necessarily.

even with fast speeds, on a wireless router, i sometimes get idle too.

This post has been edited by nokia2003: Sep 17 2010, 08:14 PM

yup. thank you

if you don't place spoilers, those overly large pictures will distort the brower's view.

good luck with your iPhone

i have used the iPhone since the first generation and 3G and then 3GS.

i can assure you that the upgrade is worth it.

if you were at 3G, and looking to upgrade to 3GS, i would probably ask you to reconsider.

no.

pure bullocks

nope. period

sorry to learn about your predicament.

(a) if it wasn't inflicted by yourself. i'm pretty sure that it will be covered by the warranty because they will only typically check for the watermark gauges (if you don't know what is that, google it up)

(b) replace. one to one. unless they have changed the policy recently.

© no one cannot guarantee that. assuming that your unit was procured from maxis/digi, apple can't really stop anyone from snooping into your iPhone (well apple could too, but a much lesser likelihood). same analogy applies if you send your macbook air for repairs. it all depends on how trustworthy the personnel is.

(d) refer to (b)

just follow the DIY steps and you could, too end up with a white unit.

your answers were already public.

proof? i have already read them even before they were compiled up; i just chose not to reply to them.


boy, you and i, we both have two very different definitions of "teach" and "lecturer"

don't "thread-deviate".

continue asking Australian originated iPhone questions at the correct thread.
