Updated to 4.1 -and now my settings have changed to 8.0 as well, yet was not offered any carrier updates.

Have you always been able to browse on edge?

And if not has this resolved it?

Am in Belfast right now and 3G performance has always been rock-solid.

However I noticed on Thurs/Fri was getting the GPRS symbol for the first time in Dalkey and Killiney, where hitherto it had been pretty abominable.

Can't see the email sync.

Facetime appeared for me in a contact that only contains the email address, but with a contact who has phone and email it doesn't give me the option...

Also, Is 4.1 released or is it the developer beta? I'm still on 4.0.1...

Really? That's pretty odd.

I made several Facetime calls today before I updated using my giffgaff SIM, which in the past had charged me 8p. Today, I was not charged for any of the 4 calls.

After updating and returning my 3IRL SIM to the phone, it's still advising me re SMS charges for activation, though have devined that if you just press cancel, you don't get charged.

Watching a utube video over wifi quality is very good. When I watch the same video using 3 g the quality is noticeably worse. How is this possible. It is definitely the same video.

Also wifi on my iPhone 4 seems a lot slower than the 3GS.
Is it me or what?

Chances are youtube checks your connection speed prior to buffering the video and then chooses either high quality or non high quality based on the speed.

That's exactly what it does.

I rang 3 customer care and asked if I would be charged for making a FaceTime call, she told me I will not be charged and she refunded the credit that it cost me to activate FaceTime. I knew the text it sends is supposed to be free

Oh, they'll be hearing from me, there's about 2€ worth.

Nope, I have it working now. Using my giffgaff SIM, under 4.1, when you hit the FaceTime options, it allows you to choose any phone number or email address you have listed for the contact. Seems great. Unfortunately, I have just tried 6 contacts and not one of them has "been available for FaceTime" though I know them to be at home and on wifi. All of them were available this morning by using their number.

Then again, it's probably because none of them are yet running 4.1.

There's nothing worse than inconsistent information from customer care, she told me that I will not be charged for FaceTime calls but I'd be willing to put money on it that if I made a FaceTime call I will be charged. (Haven't gotten a chance as the only other person i know with an i4 is on meteor and cannot activate FT yet).

When you activate FaceTime, a button appears in the contacts menu. Until now, when you clicked on it up popped the the contact's GSM numbers. Now on 4.1 when you hit it, a mixture of numbers and email addresses appears (if and when you have several for the same contact).

Ahh, cheers, I thought I had an email down for one of my contacts, but for some reason the email was a part of a separate contact.

How do you check who's available for facetime?

You can't as far as I can see -everyone is a potential FaceTime contact (maybe making it future-proof for iChat and the like).

However, once you make a successful call, the FaceTime button adjusts itself and adds a little camera icon beside the words.

Was just told by 3 Customer service that free Add-on went live yesterday, did anyone notice that?

I'd like to know if this is true also.
I got caught last month for about €15 extra because I never realised that the add-ons weren't starting until "mid-September".

It depends on your bill date. I don't expect mine to kick in until 18th September.

Three are changing their story every single day.
Was told in shop it came live on 1st, then i made few landline calls and it came out of my flexi units instead of free so rang them and was told it is not coming live until 4th of sept, still no sign.
So rang them again last night and now it's not until 15th of sept.

Anyone have signal problems after jailbreaking ?

I tend to get 'No Service' every now and then but maybe it's just the location I'm in not sure. I've researched a few problems people have with this and tried them which has helped but just wondering what ye all think.

That sound like a location problem. Head out for a stroll and you should see a difference.

I've had it jailboken for the last few days - mostly its fine and I am comparing it to my missus iphone who doesn't have it jailbroken but the odd time it does kick in with that message - I do have a feeling thou its to do with the options I select in SBSettings - need to find out what there all for. For example, when I hit the Data button that knocks off the 3G signal but not sure what the 3G button is for then!? Weird

Oh yeah on a side note does anyone know how to fully close down an application as I've had 10 apps running all the time! I did it through SBSettings but how do you do it on a normal iPhone setup?

Double-click the home button to bring up a list of all the currently open apps. Hold down one of the icons, and they'll start doing the shaky thing, then you can close them.

I wasn't getting any 2G data from 3 for the last couple of weeks, it was 3G data or nothing. Didn't bother me much. Then on Saturday, GPRS magically kicked in. Working perfectly now, all the pieces are in place

Ricky91t

I'm on a 3GS and having no issues with Switching from edge back to 3G, But on edge I can't connect to the internet. I've read that people have rung 3 and they've got the issue resolved is this definetly the case?

Did you update past 4.0.1? I'm trying to decide if I should, and lose my jailbreak.
Is their signal and data issues something that can be fixed on their end or would it depend on an update??

seamus

I'm on 4.0.2 and have been since I first switched to 3. I haven't called 3 or otherwise done anything to activate GPRS, it just suddenly became active on Saturday.

I am on 4.0.1 and no prob switching between 2g and 3g, It used to take about 5 minutes, Now it happens almost instantly.
All you need is up to date carrier setting.

Davexirl

So everyone is pretty happy with 3 now????

nava

Yes also would like to know that, if there's no connection problems I will probably move to 3.

Still not happy about waiting 18 months for the phone to be unlock when O2 does it straight away.
