I'm going from a 3g to a 3gs. I backed up my phone on Itunes, but my FB app, Shazam, Dictionary and Couch to 5k apps are not coming up when I recovered on my new phone.

Where could they be?

Well, I can't say I totally disagree, but it seems there are a lot of problems with it, some real, some that may appear in time, while others are nothing more than fiction at this time. While the dock issue is a real one, there are plenty of things to think about, as we're going to see right away, but before anything else, let's see what's up with that dock, shall we?
According to an Apple Store employee, quoted by intomobile your old iPhone dock won't be able to host the new iPhone 3G. As the guy said, "the iPhone 3G is shaped differently and doesn’t fit in the same dock," so you can leave all hope. The worst thing is that all audio systems featuring universal docks build so far will also be incompatible with the latest iPhone! What a pity...:dft011:wicked_smile
Well, at least let's hope someone will manage to come up with a "iPhone dock to iPhone 3G dock converter," so those audio systems I mentioned above won't instantly become obsolete as soon as their owners will upgrade to the iPhone 3G, but this is not all - now, let's see what else can be bad about the iPhone 3G!

Another possible issue with the iPhone 3G is long term cost. To make a longer story short, during the first two years, you'll have to pay $160 more because the pricier data plan for the iPhone 3G, compared to the old iPhone.

The iPhone 3G's camera still doesn't have a flash, and there are no replaceable batteries for it, either.

This should be everything I can think of now.. ]]> General Discussion vithiancamelia http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/general-discussion/iphone-3g-problems-58001.html http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/general-discussion/smart-playlist-issue-57998.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:30:35 GMT I had several smart playlists that weren't showing up for syncing.

I picked up the Bose Companion 5 set. Looks great with my Mac, but not sure if I'm in love with the sound. I've read all the stuff slamming Bose for being all marketing, less product. I was swayed by all the positive reviews on Apple.com. Before my return window is up, I'm looking to consider other options.

I've seen people talk up Audioengine A5, Swan. Also considering the Logitech Z-2300, Z-5500.

I am considering buying a 3GS iphone and I think I would want / need to jailbreak it because I run more than 1 application at a time and unfortunately that cannot be done without jail breaking.

I have some experience using XDA Developer's ROMs on Windows Mobile phones. Typically I find the cooked roms to be slower than the standard rom that came with the phone - though maybe it had nice features, it is typically full of bugs as well.

Does this happen with Jailbreaking? Does the iphone run slower once broken or does it have bugs and need to be rebooted frequently?

What disadvantages exist to jailbreaking an iphone? Can the iphone be restored to "unbroken" easily enough? ]]> General Discussion confusedxx http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/general-discussion/jail-breaking-question-57961.html http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/general-discussion/are-you-reading-the-eic-homepage-you-should-be-57953.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:11:55 GMT For those who might not have noticed, I've assembled a staff of writers who have been doing some great things here at eiC. Of course, you need to visit that homepage of ours to see them in action. Tim is providing all the news, each and every day and he's all over it.

Jessica has been doing some great roundup reviews including "Music fan apps, who does them well" and today's article "Apps for the Amateur iPhone Shutterbug". You can find a host of recent reviews worth reading.

In addition, for those new to the iPhone, Marianne has been delivering a regular feature, "Learning iPhone". This series will offer help to beginners and even information experienced members would find useful. Recent articles include:

• Securing Your iPhone
• Maximizing iPhone Battery Life
• iPhone and Bluetooth
• Tracking iPhone Usage

I know a good portion of you hit the forums first, but I'd hope that you give the other side of the site a look. There's plenty more here at eiC.

Finally, a friendly reminder to follow us on Twitter and become a fan of eiC on Facebook.

I've been lurking for a while and I'm sort of curious. I read about multiple apps from the store all the time, but not much on web apps.
Should I not bother making them anymore?
(for a quick list for this discussion I'm hoping for Seego.com and Taptu both have lists. Seego being the one I like more. The Apple listings are useless really. They have the worst listings for web apps on Apple. too broad in it's descriptions).

So, what is the deal? Apple can be hard to deal with, and web development is pretty good now. I've seen lots of great web apps and quite a few "not so great" full apps. So, why the almost complete dismissal i've seen? Or, am I mistaken and simply not seeing it? ]]> General Discussion Chad Bolinger http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/general-discussion/how-come-web-apps-vs-full-apps-57940.html http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/general-discussion/please-answer-my-questions-first-time-user-57938.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:31:20 GMT Hi all, I have some noob questions to ask about iphone 3g :P I have jailbroken the phone, install cydia.

I have some noob questions to ask about iphone 3g :P

I have jailbroken the phone, install cydia. Now what ?

Its my first time using iphone. What are the things that I should know ?

- How to transfer files from PC to Iphone without the use of Itunes ? I had OpenSSH installed, but dont know the use of it :dft006:unhappy

- Can I add applications downloaded from internet and then put it into Iphone for it to work ? Where is the website recommended to download the applications and what are the ways/programs to use for putting the application to work ?

I am currently debating between the new Android phones coming out next Year (Sony Erikson X10 or HTC Dragon) and the iPhone 3Gs.

The iPhone does not allow multiple applications to be run at the same time, is that correct? How do you guys deal with that? For example, I have an email with an address or a website with an address and I want to copy the address to my google maps so I have navigation to that address. Once I get an idea how long it will take to get there, I will then call the person or reply to the email with a duration. How do you manage that when only 1 app is open?

Another thing I typically do is read an email with stock trades and then I launch the stock trading program via the app or the web to execute the trades. After one trade, I will typically need to flip back and forth to get the details for the second trade, and then the 3rd, etc.

Besides the lack of running multiple apps at once, I am pretty keen to get an iPhone. Is there any advice or experience you can share to help me with this problem?
