hi all,

i'm sorry if this is a dumb question but i still need confirmation from experienced users here.

i'm a Digi user and bought my iphone from Digi. So it's unlocked. Currently, i think the firmware is 4.1 and i get a notification from itunes asking me if i want to update to 4.2?

My question is, after updating, will i lose all my apps and game settings/progress?

in the FAQ, here's what is written

1. What is the meaning of Restore and Update in iTunes? (credit to frozzbyte)
A: iTunes provides two options to change the firmware on your phone. Restore and Upgrade.
A1: Restore is a full erase and reprogramming of your device. This will result in a factory fresh device. All songs and contacts are wiped out.
A2: Update will only wipe out the smaller disk partition leaving all your songs and settings intact. Update is only useful if you are trying to go from one version to the next version of firmware. It will not solve any problems on your phone unless they are naturally solved by the new firmware. I generally recommend using restore in all cases.



It only stated that update will wipe out disk partition leaving songs and settings only, what about application and games?

thanks!

Hey guys, got a ques regarding iphone4 and streamyx zone.

I search in google but found nothing abt using streamyx zone on iphone.

Frm wat i read, if use pc, when connected to streamyx zone, open a internet browser and the browser will display a streamyx zone login page, then voila, internet is up.

But with iphone4, i selected the streamyx zone wifi in settings, and i can see the wifi connected icon on status bar. But when i open safari, a pop up msg stating that 'safari could not open the page because it it not connected to the internet'.

If it couldnt load the streamyx zone login page, how am i gonna connect to streamyx zone?

yo yo yo...

i've tried to take care of my phone as nice as possible, but it seems like the home button is the weak spot for scratches !!! i don't understand...it seems to be a very faint hairline scratches...only visible from certain angle with lighting...

grrrr......

sigh....

anyone knows if there's any type of polisher which can remove the scratches?

or memang no choice, just leave it like that?

i think our thumb or fingers not really smooth..or maybe my thumb.... can cause some very minor hairline scratches huh....

what is your experience guys?

come come..share! i think most of us here treat our iphone 4 with TLC.... screen protectors la...covers la..housings la... same for me...but home button is the G-spot i guess...whooops !!! hehehe....

make sure the water don't seep into the gaps...such as the home button area....or the water seep into the audio jack at the top...

usually i use a damp cloth to wipe also..but only on the screen area... handle with care!
