alright, one question.

My boss just received her iphone4, but she's having so much trouble with its short lasting battery. She talked on the phone for less than 5 minutes for the entire day yesterday, and the battery had 1/4 of its life.

Is this normal?

Just told her that it's not normal and she got so pissed off.

Because she always hated the iphone, but her husband just bought one for her as a gift. She said she wanted the Droid phone.

OK I screwed up, help.
Got ip4 last week. Set it up as new phone through itunes. Loaded all apps and music.
Backed up 3gs and exchanged it at Apple Store.
Opened Gas Cubby to add service today.
All of my history is gone.

Any way to get it back?

Yea your problem was you setup your iPhone as a new phone. That means everything is just as it's new, even all the apps you resync to it via iTunes

Seriously, i think something is up with my phone. All I'm doing is websurfing and it's pretty warm to the touch.

Ugh

Pure BS imo. As of right now anybody that is unhappy can just return the darn thing and get their money back. I don't see this lawsuit having any legs at this point. I'm not a lawyer but has any damage been done?

stunna = doucher = hater

= likes to pretends he knows a lot about technology

= talks out of his ass 90% of the time

= bought an iphone to complain about it

= incessant whiny little bitch


In summary....yeah, you get where this is going.

7 ways to resuse your old iPhone

http://lifehacker.com/5576310/reuse-...-an-old-iphone

Interesting article. I think I'm going to wait a little bit before putting android on my 3g so that things can get better. Hopefully they'll get better power management, etc. and currently doesn't work with the Spirit JB.

Here's the key word. All my 4 year old wants to watch is Teen Titans and Powerpuff Girls on Boomerang (yeah she's up till 11) and my 2 year old is obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba. The 2 year old is easier to turn but my 4 year old HAS to watch her shows.
