Re: Getting an iPhone 3GS Replacement Battery
I went and bought a kit from China for pulling apart the iPhone and a replacement battery as well as some extra parts I thought I should replace whilst I had it open. All up it cost less than $20 including delivery.I then went on YouTube to find a few tutorials on pulling apart the phone. It took a fair while to actually pull it apart and replace the battery. The parts you are dealing with a minuscule and the tolerances are so fine it is almost impossible to get it right. There was every chance that once I put it together again the phone wouldn't work at all.With sweat floating off my forehead after one hour and with the able assistance of my young daughter who had better eyes and a steady hand it was restarted and the apple logo flashed on the screen. Would I do it again? Not in a fitAs it turned out the new battery only lasted a couple of months..

Re: iPhone 3Gs Sync issues.
Hi Peter I had a similar problem with my iPhone 3G. Every time for about a month when I plugged it into the computer, via USB, I would get a message that said it could not sync and that it could not find the required file. As part of the troubleshooting I ended up unselecting all the media files, such as music and videos, etc. This ended up resolving the issue but meant I did not have any media on the iPhone. I must admit I never worked out a solution that allowed me to get media back on the 3G as I then upgraded to the iPhone4 a few weeks later and can sync all the media without problem. The iPhone will not work with iSync as it is designed to only sync with the computer via iTunes. Also it will not allow file transfer via Bluetooth either in terms of syncing or file transfer between mobiles - something to do with security.

Since the last update iPhoto or Image Capture won't recognise the iPhone if this is the case.

Re: iPhoto has stopped recognizing my iPhone 3Gs and Canon IXUS 80
Strange,..came through as a normal text email to me,...Very strange. Hi Toby You could try removing the following files to the desktop and see if it makes a difference. Macintosh HD/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences. The 2 files to remove are:- com.apple.iphoto.plist and com.apple.launchservices.plist Remove them to the desktop, restart and see if that works.

Hey Rhonda, Susan, Dan - dunno about my message format... Maybe because I'm accessing my Exchange account from home via Safari?\par
\par
In any case - Rhonda, thanks for the advice but I don't think that's the issue as I didn't have any non-camera saved images. Possibly more interesting: when I booted up this morning iPhoto is again recognising my camera and iPhone.\par
\par
So odd. But sorted... Until it isn't. The only thing I can think of is that last night I had been working in my Windows Partition, then restarted via boot camp back into my Mac partition, whereas this morning I just started up straight into the Mac OS... Mm. Might do a couple of tests.\par

Cheers all,\par

iPhone 3GS - experiment continues, at a cost!
Hi muggers All you iPhone-savvy people can switch off here, but for those who are still thinking about getting an iPhone, here's some feedback on my experience... I'm new to smartphones, and I got my unlocked 32Gb 3GS iphone from Apple online store on July 11, opened it up, put in the SIM card from my 6310 Nokia, synced it through iTunes and away it went. The phone battery was even charged, which I didn't expect. Played around over the next few days, downloaded some apps, made some calls, tried out the GPS, looked at websites, etc. Most of that was through the Wifi network at home, but some through the Telstra network and other Wifi networks that the phone found readily. The overall experience was superb, highly recommended. Went away for the weekend with a bunch of friends to Banksia Springs near Dwellingup which is a mobile dead zone, and showed it off...I think I've sold three more now. Went for a walk in the bush and came within a weak signal range so used the GPS (which is excellent, although slow downloading). Yesterday I got curious (and a little nervous) about the costs I was incurring so I went to the Telstra website, worked out how to access my account, found the page called 'my data' which has a neat little table showing every time the phone had accessed data. The table listed one line item where I'd spent $23.32 and about a dozen others between 50 cents and 2 dollars. Total, about $30. I thought, a well I can live with that. Then I noticed it was page 1, with a next button beside it. In fact there were 4 pages, totalling $116!!! I searched the website and finally found that the mobile plan I was on ($30 a month) did not have a data component so I was being charged the GSM casual rate, which is 22c flagfall plus 2.2c/Kb. That's $22 a Mb!!! The phone says I've dowloaded 6.2Mb and uploaded 550Kb, so there's a rough correlation. So today I raced into Booragoon and bought a vodaphone SIM with a 200Mb data package on a 6 month contract for $30/month, ported the number across and hopefully have stopped the bleeding. It works fine so far, so I'll see what the experience is like over the next little while A key issue here is the number of times when the phone accessed the Telstra network while I was at home close to, but obviously just out of Wifi range. Is there a way to safeguard against inadvertently accessing the phone network if you don't want to? And the moral of the story? Keep an eye on your useage, know what you're being charged and I can now understand those horrifying stories of people racking up hundreds of dollars without realising it. At $22/ Mb it's not hard to do!

Re: iPhone 3GS - experiment continues, at a cost!
If you go to http://www.unlockit.co.nz/unlockit/ on your iPhone you can customise some of your settings, including the APN that is used to access the data network. You can just enter garbage into the APN field and get the settings. Then your iPhone will be set to a data access point that doesn't exist, effectively breaking your ability to get data over the mobile network. This would make sure you didn't access data accidentally.

Re: iPhone 3GS - experiment continues, at a cost!
Same happened with my other half to be honest, I got her an unlocked iphone and she put her voda sim in which i didnt know did not have a data plan (i've had a data plan for years.. didnt even know they came without them!) and she got charged somewhere in the order of $180 for mobile data usage over a few weeks.. She's on a $10 data plan now i believe :) -- Craig Bruce Director M 0403 040 088 P 08 9367 4691 F 08 9367 4692 E craig.br...@maxstyle.com.au W http://www.maxstyle.com.au Twitter Maxstyle_com_au Facebook http://www.facebook.com/maxstyle Disclaimer: The information transmitted on this message is intended only for the person or organisation to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Re: iPhone 3GS - experiment continues, at a cost!
Hi Mike, I just added a $10.00 200mb data plan to my $30.00 per month mobile plan with Telstra - I didn't want to switch to another service. The iphone goes for wifi whenever it possibly can - its the first choice. So, if you are at home and it is choosing the 3g network first, that does seem odd. Resetting the APN each time you go out would be a pain! cheers, Susan.

Re: iPhone 3GS - experiment continues, at a cost!
I've just checked my data usage. Using email and light web browsing, checking weather and news, I've used 10% of my data plan in just over one week. That's using the iphone on 3g data as much as I want to. It does seem that the 200mb of data is going to more than cover my needs.

Re: iPhone 3GS - experiment continues, at a cost!
Hi Mike, As Susan has mentioned, the iPhone uses a priority system: wifi 3G GPRS (or Edge for Telstra) If you have wifi and 3G turned on, it will try to connect to wifi first. Failing that, it will default to the 3G network. If that's turned off, it will just use GPRS. One thing to remember is that when you have your iPhone in sleep mode, it will turn the wifi radio off to preserve battery life, so if you have anything set to connect to the net automatically, such as mail set to push or fetch, it will do so using cellular data even with wifi turned on. If you don't want this to happen, just remember to set mail to manual, push notifications off, etc. Basically, anything that would connect automatically. Unless it's charging at the time, in which case the wifi remains active. --- Also Mike, you can see if you are connected to wifi or 3G by what is showing on the top left of your iPhone screen.

Hi Ruben Skype shouldn't use any data for the iPhone, as I believe (unless it's changed in the latest update of it), that it only works on WiFi, and won't work on 3G anyway.

Re: iPhone 3GS - experiment continues, at a cost!
Hi Mike, the GPS doesn't need a mobile phone signal to work. It only needs 3 GPS satellites overhead. The software you are using may need to download maps to use with the GPS points. I did some bush walking and investigated the area whilst at home connected to my WiFi. When I got to my bush walking destination the area which was out of mobile range was still accessible because the most recent maps were cached by the phone. I was then able to plot my progress on the map with the GPS. If you are in the middle of the Nullabor and have map software loaded into your phone you can happily use the GPS. BTW I have been very happy with the new Turn by Turn GPS software released by Sygic.

Buying an unlocked iPhone 3Gs - does it get locked onc e you use it?
Hi Ronni, I looked at later emails, but there doesn't appear to be a response to your question at the end about being locked to a carrier in order to work. Now, I am not sure, I would have thought not, since other mobile phones don't have to be locked to a carrier. You can swap different carriers' SIMS in these phones without any problems. For example, I have a little Samsung unlocked phone that has used Telstra, Optus and China Mobile SIMS without any problems. However, the iphone is linked to iTunes, and this MIGHT change things. I hope someone knows for sure because I would like to be able to use a different SIM when travelling. My present iPhone is locked to Telstra, so I haven't been able to use the China Mobile card. cheers, Susan.

He then sent me an email with Telstra's new iPhone Plans. I'm interested in your opinions on these plans in comparison to other carriers please. Telstra's monthly included data download is terrible I think, $5 for the $30 $40 plans which equates to 5MB of Data ... excess data charged at $1.00/MB ... yikes!

I have stayed with Telstra all these years for its better coverage, but I'm seriously contemplating a change of carrier for an iPhone 3G S. Telsyte principal research analyst Warren Chaisatien says Optus has again released the most aggressive iPhone plan prices, increasing data allowances for the internet-savvy phone and introducing plans with unlimited phone calls and messaging. Optus iPhone 3GS plans include the company's popular $59 plan with data boosted from 500MB to 700MB a month and so-called timeless plans with unlimited calls and messaging starting at $99 and including 1.5GB of downloads. And Telstra is the only carrier not to offer iPhone tethering, allowing use of the iPhone as a modem. http://www.news.com.au
Re: Buying an unlocked iPhone 3Gs - does it get lock ed once you use it?
Hi Susan, Ray Forma emailed me off list with these comments: Ronni, all correct except ... then if I decide to change to another Carrier the new carrier's SIM would work on my phone. Thank you Ray, Ahh, now I 'think' I understand. So even though I can get the iPhone 3G S cheaper through Telstra by going on a 24 month Plan (I know their data rate fees are not good). The $30 plan telstra will give me a iPhone 3GS 32GB for only $549 ... Apple iPhone 3G S 32GB will cost me $1,040. So you are saying, purchase the iPhone from Apple (at the higher price), then I could put my current SIM card (which is Telstra) in it and it will work, then if I decide to change to another Carrier ... this SIM would work on that carrier? But, if I purchase the iPhone from Telstra, I'm 1) locked into a 24 mth contract. 2) when that 24mth contract ends, I would not be able to use another SIM card from another Carrier? Is this what you mean? Many thanks for your advice I appreciate it.

I possibly wouldn't use the iPhone much differently, I would use the iPhone for accessing my email as I do with iPod Touch (on a Wireless Network), not using the Telstra 3G Network. So I require a Private Plan not a Business Plan. I would prefer to stay with Telstra, as I said previously I have stayed with Telstra because of the better coverage when I travel through the country areas. Also the Devil you know syndrome ;-) Susan, are you on a Telstra 24mth Plan or a Pre-Paid?

I know you can switch to roaming, but that hasn't been a very good experience in the past, maybe it has got better. But, I don't use my iphone for the internet or email very much unless I have wifi access. So, one idea would be to get an unlocked phone from the Apple Store, then buy a prepaid SIM with Optus, and check out the coverage. If it works well for you, then you could go onto a plan. cheers, susan. On 03/07/2009, at 1:27 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hello WAMUGers, Today I received a phone call from a Telstra representative (my

Re: iPhone 3Gs
Hi WAMUGers interested in purchasing a new iPhone 3G S, Optus Offering Up To 50% Off Upgrade Fees To Current iPhone 3G Customers: Optus have sent around an email to current iPhone 3G customers offering up to 50% off the upgrade fee when you sign up for the new 3GS handset for 24 months. The percentage that you actually get seems to very between 20% and 50%, and looks to depend on how far into your current contract you currently are. The actual upgrade fee itself for each person also varies, and apparently won’t be made known until tomorrow (although some people are saying that Optus are telling them when they call up). However, if you are still paying off your current 3G handset, you’ll still have to pay that off on the new contract as well – so make sure you factor in that continued cost when if you decide to upgrade. The email is also requiring potential iPhone 3GS owners to register their place in the queue for tonight’s midnight launch, so if you were planning on just rocking up tonight, you might want to look into trying to register. http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2009/06/optus-offering-40-off-upgrade-fees-to-current-iphone-3g-customers/ Cheers, Ronni On 25/06/2009, at 7:51 AM, Stuart Evans wrote: Hi all, Vodafone are finally releasing the iPhone on prepaid.

Re: iPhone 3Gs
It would seem that Apple has decided that they are going to sell the iPhone 3GS outright and unlocked from their retail stores. There's no official press release, but a very long thread has emerged on Whirlpool (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1228756) in which numerous people have called the 5 different Apple stores and been given the same story by the various staff there: Outright Pricing (Unlocked for your carrier's pleasure) $879 – 16GB $1040 – 32GB Which is well below the Vodafone price. I'll be curious to see how the carriers react to this news. I'm hoping that Apple will also make them available tomorrow on their online store, for those of us in the West that can't just fly over East everytime we want to purchase Apple. :) Gordon -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Re: iPhone 3Gs - query re sims for overseas
Hi group Some advice from the wise ones to the curious but ignorant please... Now that it looks like we'll be able to buy unlocked iPhones from Apple real soon, I sense that this will be great but I don't know enough to be sure. For example - does a sim from a bog-standard Nokia work in an iPhone? Presumably without 3G speeds? Would I need to buy a prepaid Next - G plan to get the full benefit? If I go to the UK for a month later on this year ...can I buy sims native to the UK network to use in an unlocked iPhone? (to avoid roaming fees) Presumably the Wifi features work regardless of what sim is installed - the sim is only used for internet access over the mobile phone network if you're not in Wifi range - do I understand this correctly?

Re: iPhone 3Gs
Hi Gordon, they will probably be on sale at Apple Resellers here in the West, as the iPhone 3g was. cheers, Susan. Unless a reseller has a relationship with a carrier they cannot sell the iPhone. Even then, they can only sell that particular carriers offering. I doubt that it will end up as an outright product for resellers as I am sure the carriers would have an agreement with Apple. That may even extend to the Apple store as there is an expectation of being able to 'demonstrate' the iPhone. I can't imagine Vodafone being happy with the outright offer at that pricing though. At the end of the day Apple will do what suits them.
