What’s the Problem With iPhone 3G Reception?

admin — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 01:08:59 +0000

CWmike writes “Apple’s iPhone 3G was just a couple of days old when reports began trickling onto the company’s support forum from dissatisfied customers complaining about poor reception. Although no one outside of Apple and AT&T — and maybe a chipmaker or two — really knows, that has not kept others from speculating, or in a few cases, making claims based on unnamed sources. What’s going on? We may not have all the answers, but we do have questions. Gregg Keizer put together everything we know in a FAQ on the griping about iPhone 3G reception.”

Three things I hate about the iThingies

admin — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:08:47 +0000

These apply to the iPhone and the iPod Touch. And I’m pissed. I hate to have it getting the time and date reset to something in the past (can’t find any pattern on the new date/time) everytime I drop it in the dock and sync. This happens when iTunes is left open when the computer goes to sleep or hibernates (and closing iTunes before sleeping does the trick). It has been like this since forever, there are people reporting the issue since September 2007 (video). Why hasn’t this been fixed? I h

Customer Service Part 2

admin — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 01:08:58 +0000

Leave it to Apple. By far, they have some great customer service. Example: The roll out of MobileMe, the evolution of the .Mac service, was borked. Yeah - Borked. The conversion took upwards of a week instead of a few hours in the wee morning and there were more than a few people that lost days worth of email. Personally, I was unable to log into my online storage, and I don’t use my .me email for anything important, but the service was down regardless. All users pay at least $99 a y

Apple Can Remotely Disable iPhone Apps

admin — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 23:08:35 +0000

mikesd81 writes “Engadget reports Apple has readied a blacklisting system which allows the company to remotely disable applications on your device. It seems the new 2.x firmware contains a URL which points to a page containing a list of ‘unauthorized’ apps — a move which suggests that the device makes occasional contact with Apple’s servers to see if anything is amiss on your phone. Jonathan Zdziarski, the man who discovered this, explains, ‘This suggests that the iPhone calls home once in a while to find out what applications it should turn off. At the moment, no apps have been blacklisted, but by all appearances, this has been added to disable applications that the user has already downloaded and paid for, if Apple so chooses to shut them down. I discovered this doing a forensic examination of an iPhone 3G. It appears to be tucked away in a configuration file deep inside CoreLocation.’” Update: 08/11 13:07 GMT by T : Reader gadgetopia writes with a small story at IT Wire, citing an interview in the Wall Street Journal, in which this remote kill-switch is “confirmed by Steve Jobs himself.”
