Normally I would also say this but too many sites seem to be reporting these results. However it's really all relative to the actually person that is using it at the end. What I may see as the best may not work for you as the best
 
The first iPhone 4S had a bit of a problem with the battery not lasting very long. Apple released a patch to fix the problem. I'm not sure if your iPhone is one that already includes the patch or not, but you could ask your phone dealer or if you see it not lasting long, then you may want to check into installing the patch.
 
Well I need to put my Blackberry on charge every night but then I do use it a lot during the day, don't make many calls on it though. Now my Nokia E72 will last a few days and I am talking on it most of the day
 
Evidently though, this was an actual bug in the first batch of new iPhone 4S models. Apple was aware made aware of it and they released the patch. My Daughter got her's the 1st day they were on the market (thanks to Dad!) and she installed the patch.
 
I just came back from walking my dog and I tied out the still and vid camera modes. Gotta say I'm very impressed with the quality. Sure a phone isn't a camera, ease of holding zoom etc but with a bit of practice this phone may replace my Olympus (U720SW) and I'll get a nice digital SLR for real photos.
 
The photo quality of the new phones is great and it means you always have a camera handy. I stopped hauling my main camera around with me for all these quick photos I now use the phone

I've looked at lots of phone photos over the years and said to myself," why bother when you can carry a small camera", but I'm now thinking advancements in phones have come close to catching up. One thing for sure my new phone takes BETTER vids than my camera.I'm now going to carry and use both for a while, then reassess.

This problem was in the software update that came out for the 3GS and 4 when the 4S was released. Apple notified all iPhone users that updated or were running the new operating system version that there was a new update available to fix a couple bugs with the previous update, one of which was the battery issue which effected the 3GS, 4 and 4S.

Well avion always uses his phone for photos and he has some great results. I am still learning to use my one for photo but I have not tried videos yet I must give that a go
 
My Son's iPhone (4S) was having a text message problem. If you sent him a text message, he wouldn't get it for hours. For example I sent him one at 11:00 PM the other night, but he didn't receive it until 10:30 AM the next day.

I urged him to call the carrier (Verizon), but he said he was too busy studying to bother with it.

I decided to help him out and call them myself saying I was him and giving them his phone number. Of course they asked me if I was calling them with that phone and I said no. They then asked if I had the phone handy and I said no again.

So they gave me these instructions......

- Press and hold down the top and bottom buttons on the iPhone until the Apple icon appeared.
- Release the buttons and let the phone do it's thing.
- When the main screen re-appears, the phone has done a forced reboot

It took all of a minute or so and the phone was fixed! He now gets his text messages as soon as they are sent.
 
I own a Motorola Defy, here in SA it's called the MB525. Water resistant, Gorilla glass scratch proof screen, Android, 5mp cam etc....
Pretty old on the Android scene.

I've recently rooted it, and overclocked it to 1Ghz.
Running froyo with ADW launcher.

Fun and lovin' it.

Rebooting fixes many computer (phone?) problems.
While mine is only a couple of days old and working fine I'll keep those instructions in mind, thanks.

Yes.....simply turning it off and on again doesn't reboot the Apple system in an iPhone. That's the method to do a rebooting and you won't lose any information stored on the phone.

Cheers AJ, I'm actually forwarding all of this stuff on to my son-in-law and daughter as they have the same phones and are my first call in any help line chain.:y2:
