Re: New iPhone 6s with my Car Bluetooth ?

[Stephen Chape]

Thanks Peter,

I just read those instructions on a website a few minutes ago.
It’s almost like you repeated them !!

I haver printed them out and will try when it cools down in my garage.

Re: New iPhone 6s with my Car Bluetooth ?

[petercrisp]

Ok, that is frustrating to be sure. I would try as per the link here
as a tip. 

I would also try the following if it were me. Select the Bluetooth
pairing for the car on the phone as it is and "Forget this device"
and remove the previous pairing of the 6S phone within the car. Do
an iPhone shutdown and reboot, Start the whole process over again and
reset the pairing from phone to car. See how that all goes.

It’s a Subaru XV 2012. I am sure the issue is with the phone. The
Car Manual is quite straight forward.  
 The car gave a code to input in the phone for pairing. I did that and
the car confirmed pairing complete. 
 It is paired with the car, but does not connect automatically. So
every time I start car I must tell the iPhone to connect.

Subject:New iPhone 6s with my Car Bluetooth ?

 Hi folks,
 I recently deleted my old iPhone 5 from my Car Media then paired my
new 6s with the Car Media. Previously when I started my car the iPhone
5 automatically connected. 
 However ??? this does not happen with my 6s. Each time I start the
car I must (on my 6s) tap Settings, Bluetooth, then car Media and wait
for connection. Does anyone know if there is a way to automate this as
it was with my old iPhone 5 ? 
 Or perhaps I am missing something on the Car Media settings !

Re: New iPhone 6s with my Car Bluetooth ?

[Stephen Chape]

It’s a Subaru XV 2012.
I am sure the issue is with the phone.
The Car Manual is quite straight forward. 

The car gave a code to input in the phone for pairing.
I did that and the car confirmed pairing complete.

It is paired with the car, but does not connect automatically.
So every time I start car I must tell the iPhone to connect.

What car is it Stephen, Model and Year and what Media options do you
have in the car? I presume you've read the car manual about "auto
Bluetooth phone connection" or similar? Typically provided the pairing
is done on your phone, it would auto connect on future occasions, even
if you hadn't deleted the old phone's identity in the car's phone
library.

Re: new iPhone

[cm]

Something I forgot to add, Kevin, was that I chose the large quota so that I 
could use the iPhone for internet tethering if I was out and about or at a 
client's site. Internet tethering is where a computer,  such as a MacBook or 
iMac, connects to the internet over the 3G cell phone network, using the iPhone 
as a modem. This has in fact come in very handy on a few occasions.

Cheers,

Hi Kevin,

I have 500Mb but hardly dent it. At home and work the phone always locks onto 
wireless. I do all my e-mailing through my computer anyway. Only a few push 
notifications come through the phone plan, it almost seems a waste for my 
needs. 

It is reassuring though having the reserve there in case i do need it.

 Eugene

Hi Kevin,

I think that 1 GB will be ample. I have a 1 GB Vodafone plan. I am a frequent 
user (this email for instance) but in over a year I have not maxed out my 
quota. You can also set the iPhone to connect to a wireless router at home but 
I have disabled wireless to get more use of my phone data plan quota and to get 
a longer battery life.

Re: new iPhone

[Tim Law]

Hi Kevin, 

You lucky man.  I get by very happily on 200mb, and often don't use half of 
that. All my emails come onto the iphone and I never worry about data limits 
wanting to surf the net, get mapping etc, or what I want to do data usage wise. 
1Gb will be plenty indeed.

Tim

1.  As others have noted, the phone may be locked to the original carrier,
so you may have to get it unlocked (IMEI code).
2.  To use it on a 3G network, you will need a 3G compatible SIM card -
there are no porkies in relation to this one, the release of the 3G iphone
was associated with plenty of complaints from persons who tried using
existing SIMS and could only connect to the 2G network, but of course
thought the iPhone, rather than the incompatible SIM, was the problem.
3.  Note that the increasing use of 3G phones for data is leading to network
congestion on towers, leading to call drop outs - Optus with their cheaper
data plans, thus attracting more 3G users, have been particularly plagued
with this problem.  Increased upgrade of more towers (which has occurred)
may have alleviated the complaints somewhat, although there is still a
steady stream at whirlpool.net.au.  There seems to be have been less
complaints in Perth than elsewhere, possibly because of the relatively flat
terrain, meaning that a 3G phone can make effective use of more than one
tower to supply its data (an advantage over 2G technology, although all
towers support 2G, so there is a wider spread of towers).  Your possibly
more hilly environment in Victoria may cause you some local 3G problems.

Re: New iPhone

[Eugene]

Hi Peter,

all mobiles can be locked not just the iPhone. To lock a phone merely  
means that the service provider who sold the phone has locked it onto  
their network and the phone cannot be used on another network until it  
gets unlocked.  You need to find out if your son's phone is locked by  
installing another SIM into it and seeing if it works.


Jailbreaking is another issue entirely. Apple prevents unauthorised  
apps from running on the iPhone. This is to ensure that the app  
complies with their predetermined use policy. If you jailbreak your  
iPhone you circumvent this system to enable other apps to run. This  
may void warranty and may brick your phone. Chances are that the next  
time their is an update to the iPhone's OS you would have to re- 
jailbreak it. Your decision.


Regarding using different SIMs in the iPhone. When I purchased mine  
from Telstra they informed me I needed a new SIM for the iPhone. I'm  
not certain if this was for their NextG network or the iPhone itself  
or if it was just a porky. Having said that I am aware of other people  
putting other SIMs into unlocked iPhones without problems,


As far as your comment that you have little use for themobile phone,  
you must remember that the phone part of the iPhone is a very small  
component of a very handy device that has many other very useful  
functions. My iPhone gets used as an actual phone about 20% of the time.


  Regards,
  Eugene

iPhones but I glossed over them. I gather it means that my iPhone  
may/would be "locked" onto a particular provider/telco. How do I  
ascertain if this is so and if so how do I make it work with an  
Australian telco.


See how newbie I am.

Any advice appreciated.

Re: New iPhone

[RJDarts]

Morning,

1 Yes,  go for it. Just remember it may not have 3G data connection or  
could be expensive so use WiFi for this.
2 Yes if phone is not locked to sons provider, which will be answered  
by above. Then in some locked situations there could be a sister  
company in Oz.
3 Jailbreak is a system of unlocking phone and restrictions Apple via  
AT&T requests to remove some services, and add others they just did  
not put in. Be careful with 3G version many phones damaged and the  
minute you attempt no warranty and or repair from Apple. Works very  
well on original iPhone have not seen a 3G done yet.


Cheers!

I have been given a used 16gb 3G iPhone by my son who bought and  
used it in Singapore where he lives. He retained the SIM card for  
use in his new phone. I have never before looked at iPhone  
discussions as I had no interest in buying one [still don't, I think  
they are too expensive for my very moderate phone usage, but hey I  
got one for free, may as well use it] so I am a complete newbie with  
this.


So my first questions are:
1	Can I insert the SIM card from another [non Apple] phone into this  
iPhone to see if it works and if so will it be just recognised by  
the telco as the other non Apple phone and operate as any normal  
phone. Boy, hope that makes sense.
2	Can I just go to the telco I decide upon with my empty iPhone and  
purchase a SIM card from them and my iPhone will just work.
3	I have seen the terms "jailbreak" "unlock" etc referring to  
iPhones but I glossed over them. I gather it means that my iPhone  
may/would be "locked" onto a particular provider/telco. How do I  
ascertain if this is so and if so how do I make it work with an  
Australian telco.
