Great phone but a few problems...! Anyone Else?

Robert.Miller · 06-30-2007, 02:38 AM

Well i absolutly love the phone! But I have a few issues that I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing? First off the volume when on a call is really low... i mean low to the point where I have to ask " what did you say?" about five time per conversations... (and yes i did take the plastic off the phone lol) Do you think its defective or is everyone feelin me here? Second off I cannot get the WiFi to work for the life of me... It says its connected and I put in the correct password but it still refrains to the E in the corner indicating EDGE network... Again Anyone with me here? If you are experiencing the same problems let me know please, I would hate to have a defective model.... Hope there is a software update soon : (

Check out this ebay sale of an iPhone.... man im jelous wish i would have planned for this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...2080&rd=1&rd=1

My wifi works fine.
Volume during a call is a bit low but i have experienced worse (entire Treo line).
I am pretty sure that they are bidding up that IPhone themselves. No one in their right mind would go that high. Especially since inventory is not that low yet.

Hmm interesting, I have a treo 700p right now through sprint and the volume is way higher than iPhone.... I dunno maybe its defective (doubt it) or my buddy was just talking low lol (could be it was 12:00am) On the wifi though it seems to wanna work but I have verizon fios with a wep key as the password. I put it in after it recognizes the wifi and it says connected but never stays at least I think. Unless when in wifi it keeps the E up there? I dunno

Could be true about them bidding on themselves because that is just insane.. I mean they could just order through apple. Someone is so lazy if its true lol

Seems to prefer the Edge network. Setup Wifi shows it good, but Safari doesn't use the connection. Do I have to select DHCP/BootP/Static and fill in all the IP Address, Subnet Mask, etc.?

Thanks, Jim

I would love to know the same thing LOL! i don't know what any of that is...

i am having a similar issue. I seem to have connected the iphone to my router correctly (w/ password)...then the phone remains on the Edge network (E in the top corner). then i went to a friends and it connected to his router easily (replacing the E with the signal strength icon). SO i don't know Y it wont connect on my router (D-link).

Also, havent been able to bluetooth anything...like ringtones. Whats the deal with that?!?

Then got the WiFi symbol, but still no connection with Safari.

This wifi problem is the biggest issue for me right now.

Haven't cracked it yet. I have tried multiple times with both dhcp and filling in and going with static information.

my biggest issue is that i cannot manually sync... i would like to be able to drag a individual song into a playlist on the iphone without having to make a specific playlist fill that up then sync it all.... any workarounds or news on this... seems like a HUGE flaw

other than that i LOVE it.

make a new playlist with all the songs u want on your iphone...then sync that playlist...stupid workaround...but it solves the problem..tv shows on the other hand are not so easy...you can only put them on based on most recent or unwatched. you cant pick individual episodes to be put on there unless you change the genre to movie instead of tv show...you can sync individual movies, but not individual shows..what a joke...hopefully there will be a fix out for this. i cant understand why they wont let u manually manage music/videos...
