Apple Store

For those of you who have never had a warranty issue at an Apple Store, I
thought I would share my experience. I have been to this particular Mall
based Apple store several times, I waited in line and bought my first
iPhone there, I bought a Mac Mini Server there, and I have returned an item
there. Today was the first time I have ever made a "Genius" bar
appointment. My iPad 2 (pre-ordered and delivered at launch), had a 1/4"
white spot (burnt pixels) and rapid battery drain (two separate issues). I
finally had a chance to set an appointment, drove to the mall, parked as
close as I could (very busy mall). I arrived at the Apple Store about 5
minutes after my appointment and there were at least 100 people over 12yo
and 25 under 12yo, crowded around every displayed device, by the time I
made it around the people to the "Greeter" I was 10 minutes past my
appointment and told that after 7 minutes they normally cancel them, but
they were running behind so they would fit me in. I waited at least 15
minutes, having to move back and forth because the only place to stand was
near the "Genius Bar" entrance. A "Genius" finally came over to me
(another called my name a few minutes later, not sure if they didn't mark
me off or what) and asked what the issue(s) were. I showed him and he
explained that he would have to swap out the iPad and that he would do so
as long as it was under warranty (it is) and there was no liquid damage
(there wasn't) - he used a keychain light to check the liquid sensors and
entered my Serial # into his iPhone/iPod Touch (not sure which it was since
it was in the checkout/card scanner case).
This is where it is interesting, the replacement items are not from retail
packaging, they are from unmarked brown boxes (I'm sure there is a bar code
or label that identifies the size and model). The replacement still had
iOS 4 and was not activated, he did take it out and activate it and let me
verify that it was 32GB and AT&T. I signed the "warranty replacement"
ticket on his checkout device and went to my old iPad and went to the
Settings and tapped Erase Settings & Content, entered my password and let
it erase before I left. As I was walking out, my iPhone buzzed with my
"Receipt", which is the interesting part - as a warranty replacement, a
32GB 3G iPad is worth $369.
All in all, it was a decent experience but they were busy.

Used the genius bar 2x. Was happy on both occasions. Did I mention they replaced my iPhone 4 for free after I dropped it?
Yepper. Happy. :)

Unfortunately emoji icons can't be seen on any phone not running iOS. There is an app called emoji mailer that can be used. Compose your mail in that app then copy to clipboard and place in your regular mail. The app creates a graphic of each icon so it can appear on non iOS devices. Not sure about using it in text though. Check out the app.

In the iMessage area it shows up at the bottom of the screen as a linear globe. Nice emoticons, buy my hubby cannot see them on his BB.

Thanks Sue. I think I'll make DH get his own iPhone. I did give him his own iPod Touch so maybe that will work.

Laura,
You can find one on the International Keyboard:
Settings-Keyboard-International Keyboard_ choose Emoji...now you will
see the globe next to your keyboard space bar and can use it to toggle
back and forth from English to Emoji.

Re: 4s notes problem

I guess I'm not understanding what's being said here.
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.
When I enter a note using the resident notes app the note stays until I delete it. It is not E mailed to anyone nor is it synced to the other iDevice on my iCloud account except as part of my back up. Now reminders is a different story it is synced via iCloud to my wife's iPod Touch which is also on iOS 5.0.
None of my previous iPhones ( iPhone, iPhone 3G ) have done anything other than what I am seeing now.

So what you're saying is that reminders sync via iCloud and notes doesn't?

I'm saying not that I've seen although since my post I went to settings > iCloud and there I noticed there is a setting to sync notes. On my iPhone that switch is set to off.
So whether notes sync or not is user determined.

Missing iOS5 Apps after upgrade
Posted by: "wcombsdbts" wcombs@dbts.edu wcombsdbts
Sun Oct 30, 2011 11:44 pm (PDT)
After upgrading to iOS5 on my 3GS iPhone, two of the apps that were supposed to be installed are not there--iMessage and Notification Center. Twitter is not there, but looking at the Settings, it looks like I have to change a setting for it to install. But at lead iMessage and Notification should have been installed I assume.
Any ideas?

I use one by Belkin. It works well. I also use a visor Bluetooth by motorola. When a call comes in the iPhone automatically switches to bluetooth for the call. Works very well. When the call ends the iPhone goes back to playing music through fm transmitter. The fm transmitter also charges the phone.

An FM station is dialed up on the transmitter and the radio, and then you can hear your iPhone through your car.
