iPhone
4s Tips
I
was a tad disappointed with the iPhone manual provided in the box with
the new phone, and the poor quality of the on-line material that I found when I
took delivery. All in all I was quite lost and have spoken with other
users who feel the same way. It’s as if iPhone are too cool for
explanations and users are expected to be either IT savvy or have to stumble
around in the mist until they work out the answers to their problems and
queries. Now and again I hope to upload a hint or two and thereby help
the newcomer to the iPhone
Please
not that the following items are offered in good faith and I am unable to
accept responsibility for any errors or omissions that lead to any lost data or
other damage. In all instances please be sure of the accuracy of the
statements before continuing with the act under consideration e.g. you could
use these notes to aid an online or Apple search to find an official
answer what you are trying to do
To
kick the ball rolling (well its Euro 2012 after all) here is a sequence
of set up tips:
(1)
Before messing about with your new iPhone save your Contacts to
the Orange facility online if you are lucky enough to use the Orange
network or check out if your Network provider has a similar facility if you
don’t use Orange. Once the contacts are stored online, they can be
downloaded to your new iPhone when that is up and running
(2)
If you are thinking of saving Contacts to your SIM card and transferring
them to your new iPhone that way then be careful. The iPhone has a
micro SIM Card cradle and not a full size SIM and therefore your
intended SIM card transfer may be incompatible
(3)
The SIM card cradle on the iPhone is accessed by using the small
metal tool housed in one of the packaging sections to press a hole in the side
of the iPhone and the cradle pops out
(4)
Keep the small metal iPhone SIM cradle device safe and secure as
apparently they are quite expensive to replace
(5)
The iPhone USB lead found inside the packaging slots into the bottom of
the electrical plug that you will also find in the packaging, and the other end
of that lead connects to the end of the iPhone
(6)
It appears that the iPhone should be charged for circa 4 hours
upon receipt. Some users say that the battery should be charged
overnight; but I am yet to find the official answer for first time charging
of the iPhone battery upon receipt
