iPhone4 - Page 44

Did you install the update? iTunes should have told you about it.

Smartphones do often tend to be a bit more picky about signal than 'normal' phones. The problem is simply the number of things competing for the airwaves (i.e. wi-fi, bluetooth, GSM, 3G/HSDPA, some of them with two or more 'bands'). No idea if the iPhone4 has this problem, but turning off the ones you don't need might help.

As for getting warm, yes, they all do that. Though I wouldn't call it hot. Using the phone while charging it makes the problem worse. Check you don't have the screen brightness set too high (it's in Settings or General, can't remember which) as turning it down can help.

That's odd. My 3GS doesn't get hot at all

Does anyone elses facebook app just give them a black screen when they try and use it? The only thing I can do is turn the phone on and off and then it works again. Gonna reinstall the app, but it's done it like half a dozen times so far and tis a bit annoying.

It's a really badly coded app imo, reinstall fixes the black/blank screen issue

Mine does if I'm eating the battery life on things like Angry Birds, etc. It also does if you use + charge at the same time.

Every single smartphone will do this - same as laptops.

Ok todays silly question.

Is there any way I can turn the caps lock on when I am typing something, so I dont have to keep pressing shift before every letter.

Ordered my bumper thing to help with the signal issues, and it came within a few days. It has made things a bit better if I am honest. I can ring people from my desk now which is an improvement.

If I want to buy a car kit (so I can mount it in the car) are there any cheap versions about, or how much am I looking at?

Double click shift key.

Took me ages to find out about that one. I don't know if was an option in 'iOS 3', but if it was, I didn't know.

Will · 31-07-2010, 10:45

It was available before ios 4.

For those of you with IOS4 on your 3G(S) and are finding it slow, apparently disabling Spotlight speeds things up hugely.
