At first I thought my iPhone was acting up. But after experiencing multiple dropped calls, intermittent cutting in and out when dialling, and confirmation via twitter (people exploding over this issue), I can finally say Rogers/Fido is experiencing some major network issues!

At first I thought I was losing my mind. What am I referring to? App Store updates on the iPhone of course! I’m pretty good with keeping up with app updates, as most of the time there are bug fixes and improvements. But lately, the usual reliable process of updating apps on the iPhone has been one giant FAIL!

App updates would download and install. I would watch the process … Read More

Recently Rogers and Fido both updated their various iPhone related value packs to include Name Display along side the Caller Display feature. This was primarily due to the release of iPhone OS 3.1, which, among other updates, brought with it the ability to use Name Display on the iPhone…or did it?

If you were like the 1 million+ (in 3 days!) who purchased the new iPhone 3GS, one of the biggest and noticeable upgrades you enjoyed was the increased processing speed and battery life.

I found some of the biggest … Read More

When you buy an iPhone or an iPod from Apple your new product comes with a one year warranty. However, what happens when that warranty runs out (and you didn’t opt for Apple Care)?

I’ve heard of many people with first gen iPhones that end up with cracked screens from a drop or require a new iPhone battery. What are your options? Well, you can try fixing it yourself but good … Read More

For the past week or so, I’ve experienced a very strange phenomenon with my iPhone 3G on Rogers. A couple nights ago I received the “new voicemail” indicator sound/buzz and it took me by surprise. Why? Well, because I didn’t hear nor receive an incoming call prior! At first I thought I was crazy. But after doing some research online and asking around on Twitter, turns out I’m not the … Read More

Yes, you read that correctly. At first what I thought was an isolated incident, it now appears that others are also experiencing the same problem. Just what am I talking about?

I managed to pick it up about 20 minutes later, but due to unforeseen errors during the install, it actually took me over 2 hours to install it. So, during my time installing, I decided to make a step-by-step guide … Read More
