So I'm now at 7% left after 6hrs,3mins usage and 15hrs,42mins standby since the last full charge. That is a huge improvement from before I made the settings changes described in my earlier posts. I made calls, watched video and played music in that time. I also texted a lot and checked email. The only thing I didn't do that I did a lot over the weekend was Siri. So either these settings worked very well or Siri is a huge battery hog lol.

Did you pre-ordere yours from them as well? I still haven't gotten mine, either. They said they'll call me.
I'm hoping I can cancel my pre-order if I do decide to get it from somewhere else.....or the Nexus unveiling tonight has me clamoring for that instead

I dunno about newer iphones (I have the 3G planning on upgrading to 4S) but connect your iphone and explore it in windows explorer, you should see them listed. its a simple copy and paste job then. I'm sure there is a way in itunes but I prefer doing it that way, less hassle.

I found the site that has it, but they only list it in blue and red.
I also updated the album with some photos of the packaging. After searching every possible store in my city for a case I liked, I finally found this case at Walmart of all places.

With your phone connected via the USB cable, open up My Computer and you should see a listing for Apple iPhone. If not, make sure the plug-n-play properly installed the apple drivers for your device.
From there, just navigate through the folders until you find the pictures, its maybe three levels deep. You can copy pictures off your device with this method, but you can not paste old pictures back on. Have to use iTunes photo syncing for that.

My contract with AT&T and their mobile service from 1992 is finally up in a month.
Who should I go with Sprint or Verizon? I live on the west coast.

BruceLeeRoy said:
If you live in a populated enough area and tend to spend the majority of your time there, I'd go with Sprint simply because their pricing is better and they offer unlimited data. Network may not be as good, but if money and 4G (which they ARE getting soon) is a big factor for you, I'd do that. If you want 4G and generally really good coverage and don't care about being nickel and dimed to death, go Verizon.
I'm a Verizon customer, by the way.
I like to hold it the "wrong" way when I play games without a headphone because that way my hand doesn't cover the speaker (when I hold it the "right" way my left hand mutes the speaker when I'm playing with two thumbs).Number45 said:Am I the only person that finds myself holding the phone the "wrong" way when using it in landscape? I've always held it so that the home button is on the right (easier to access it with my right hand), but it's apparent (first #sworcery would auto-rotate that way and now the camera obviously needs to be that way to use the volume/shutter button) that I'm supposed to hold it the other way.
Just an observation really. I'm so used to looking at the home page text/icons in landscape that way that my brain finds it hard to identify things the other way.

Any other Verizon 4S users out there? How are you liking it so far?
Gary Whitta said:
Right here. Lovin' my 32GB.
My first foray into the smartphone world, so I don't have any past experiences to compare it to (besides occasionally fooling around with my friends Android phones). It's nice having something to occupy myself during the duller moments of my workday. Downloads are usually pretty quick (where I need them, at least) and service is usually pretty reliable.
Getting a feel for how the Siri works. Still not sure whether or not its a true gamechanger or just a gimmick with too many features that won't get used. Time will tell, though.

I'm really concerned about the battery life on my Sprint 4S. Never have I had an iPhone die twice in two days on me and I decided to turn Siri off and a bunch of iCloud backups.
Anyone using a portable battery charger they can recommend?

Those Mophie Juice Packs that people have referenced recently seem to do the trick if battery life is a major concern.Gooster said:
Me...well I have chargers pretty much everywhere. At my bed, in the living room, in my car, at my desk at work. I don't NEED to charge my phone all over the place, but it's good to know that I've got juice wherever I'll need it if I need it.

Wow, if 4S users are honestly having to resort to switching off Siri to achieve decent battery life than I am very happy that I opted not to pick this up.Gooster said:

It's not that bad, but I would say based on my experience so far that it seems to drain 10-15% faster than my 3GS did over the course of the day.Devin Olsen said:
I have chargers everywhere so it's no big deal, but I do hope they figure out a way to address this with a software update. But perhaps it's just the nature of the A5 coupled with a battery of this size.

They aren't. It sounds like there is a crop of phones out there that are behaving awkwardly in regards to battery life, however.Devin Olsen said:
My phone feels pretty much identically to my old iPhone 4 in terms of battery life.

Damnit... I just realized that one of my speakers don't work.
I was using speakerphone and accidentally covered one of the speakers, no sound came out of the other one.

Their plan is very counter productive for me.

It's not broken, the other "speaker" is the microphone you speak into it.quadriplegicjon said:Damnit... I just realized that one of my speakers don't work.

Also YAY finally for custom text tones. I have the TNG door chime set up as mine

Oh, haha.. thanks
Just wanted to say that my iPhone 4S on AT&T finally works on 3G during lunchtime here in NYC. I'm amazed.
Every day I need to turn off 3G to EDGE or else I get no data. EDGE was better than nothing.
Now, it's extremely fast in comparison. Very impressed. Let's hope this isn't a unique occurance.

I finally got around to hooking up my iPhone to my car's bluetooth system yesterday and when I used Siri in the car, I was surprised to hear her speak over the speaker system. Pretty cool!
