same here was late up, changed alarm to see if i had missed still didnt work had to reset phone

 

It is a BIG flaw especiallly when you consider all other phones can do it !
I suspect its more like a future sales gimmick as they run out of ideas of a new version of the iphone every year and all you suckers buy one !

I seem to remember things that apple recently claimed/implied only they can do over the last few years.....

Video recording
MMS Picture messages
Video Calling

The last one being an advert on TV saying "ONLY ON IPHONE"

You say ... Why not use email and mms ? ... well I quite often take pictures and want to send them to another phone but dont want to pay for it or have no signal and bluetooth is a convenient transfer method that apple typically added restrictions on an system that was intended to be open and FREE to use !

 

TBH I have never felt the need to bluetooth pictures from one phone to another anyway, and certainly never so urgently that it cant possibly be MMS'ed instead, lol

 

ive had no issues with any of the iphones ive had over the last 3years ,only the price to buy them

 

Yeah my alarms never went off.

Fortunately woke up 25mins after the alarm would have woke me so i was OK, if a wee bit rushed!

 

Likewise. But if it's a feature you feel is vital, as Simon obviously does, then I suppose I can see why it's an issue.

I've never had a picture i couldn't MMS, Email, send via WhatsApp, put on Photobucket, or upload to Flickr via my phone, so i can't say the lack of Bluetooth has ever been a problem for me.

 

I never had a problem with my alarm going off this morning.
As for Bluetooth, not had the need to use it in 6 months of having my Iphone. I probably have not used bluetooth for well over a year.

Dropped calls? not had a problem with that either
battery life? yes its shite, but we all know that anyway

 

Yep mine went off at 7:30 and not 6:30

 

What the fuck are you on about? If you think macs are invulnerable to virus' then you're even more of a mong than your poor English suggests...

Oh, and my bb bold woke me up fine and on time

 

No one's saying they're invunerable, but when was the last time you read about a Mac getting one? In the last 12 years that I've been using Macs i've never once had any kind of firewall, nor virus software, and I've never had a virus.

 

lad at work, his 3GS was late.
but my Iphone 4 was fine

 

I sounded like he was saying they are, and Windows is the only OS that can get them. Although, I may have misunderstood him, due to the poor wording...

 

Spasticated isn't a word, nor will it ever be I suspect. What was this education you speak of?

Benni.

 

what i can't understand is that if you put the clocks back, the alarm will ring an hour early, yet everyone is saying they are rining late?

is this swine flu and getting a week off for free all over again

 

even now mines not right, you have to set it hour early and cant repeat daily or it wont go off, cheers for the update apple

 

How fucking stupid are you?

The alarm stuck at the hour later for whatever reason when the clocks went back.

And to sort it for now you have to disable the repeat alarm and set it every night for the following morning.

 

love reading all the people who admit the iphone is wank

i actually get bored of ringing me dad due to his iphone cutting off mid convo all the time...

 

Of course it is.

Although it doesn't list in the Oxford English dictionary, its derivation is from the bastardisation of a regular noun, and it is in effect a slang term, it still qualifies due to the de facto nature of it being recognisable in modern usage.

A quick google would show it listed in Merriam Webster, which should we be being pedantic, is plenty enough to justify its qualification, even in this country.

As Connery once said, "Here endeth the lesson".

 

I've never had any problems with my iPhone, nor has any of my mates, around 20 of them with iPhones. The problem was not a fact which the BBC reported about the new iPhone 4. Where it drops signal when you hold it, was due to a fault with the iPhone arial. I think your wife friends are clearly exspecting the phone to work like clock work. Yeah sometimes they crash on a odd occasion or crap signal because of the provider!

There a good phone, make calls fine recive calls and already has a good advance spell checker/pre spell. I spend less on my computor and more on my iPhone as it allows me to keep upto date with things like eBay and other ways of buying products or advice when needed, which means alot more time spent on my car

you can't have an opinion Christian, it's like a non driver/back seat driver who has not yet passed his test.. Moaning and trying to tell you the law when clearly wrong. Once you own one or have it for more than 3 months come back.

Relating to the iPhone update on the clock, had no problems was set for 7am Sunday morning and went off just fine, ready for work and off out the door on time.

Thanks,

 

The bit I find hardest to beleive, is that someone with an iphone has 20+ friends

 

I own a nokia, and use my wife's iphone regularly for wifi browsing and playing games. That is ALL they are good for. Everything else is just pish!

 

what case doubles the batt life mate?! It for the 4 or just 3s?!

Didnt have any probs with mine either alarm went off fine?!

 

No, it wouldn't, because it's not a word.

Benni.

 

My work provide and pay for my iPhone so can't complain it has issues but so has every phone I've ever owned

Recently returned from America where I bought an iPad (using it to type this now) I personally think it is awesome I never use my laptop anymore I jail broke it to get round the flash issue but it won't be long before apple sort that anyhow

 

 

I have a jail broken iPad. Do I need to install an app to allow flash?

 

Mine never went off again this morning!!!

Deleted all my weekday alarms last night and reset them, woke up this morning 5 mins before they were due to go off, lay in bed waiting and they never went off!

16GB 3GS btw. Pain in the arse.


It seems if you set an alarm for ex, 2mins time from now, it will work, but if you set it to go off "mon/tue/wed/thu" or whatever... it will go off an hour late.

 

You of all people.... discussing the word spasticated. Oh the irony!


Next you'll be giving fat people advice on dieting......

 

Frash from Cydia

Set it as a one off alarm, goes off just fine.

 

Dont be hating the fact i'm still young, and your old.
I've plenty of good mates, nothing on the scale of 20, good mates that i can call on, but mates who i often go to shows with, meet up now and again for a drink.. Go out and have a laugh with. Btw. Incase you wonder im not 12, im 23

Love you Like this much ________________ lol



Update:02/11/2010 BTW, i made calls fine again and had no trouble with my alarm that went off this morning at 6:20am

 

Is the only fix for it at the min to set the alarm every night and not have it on weekdays?

 

Got the same phone a d not had any probelms with it going off mate, biggest pain in the arse for me though is that you can't delete old alarms, you can only turn them off or change the hours, unless that's just me

 

If you press edit then press the no entry symbol you can then hit delete

 

My mates iphone 4 has gone off an hour late twice now. He's fuming haha!

 

Just set it an hour early until it's sorted,easy.

 

LOL at people getting caught out twice with the alarm problem, just use something else? Or perhaps set it to go off during the day as a test if it's working properly before relying on it to wake up?

Only problem I have had with my Iphone 4 is that it shut down completely and I had to do the reset procedure to get it back on, apart from that I think they are brilliant and wouldn't be without one

 

That's what I said, but oh no 'the iphone is teh best'

 

Mine didnt go off again either, mine is set for mon,tues,wed etc is there a fix for it or has anyone spoke to apple about it?

 

That's what I used to do and mine never went off at all, twice. After that I use something else as an alarm, I can't trust the iPhone alarm as I can't afford to be late for work

 

Just set it an hour early!
It's not rocket science!
