Anyone having problem with there Iphone since the new update? Here are a few things you can try.

• Reset your iPhone by holding down the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
• Restore your iPhone: In iTunes, click the Restore button under the Summary tab. Restoring the phone will erase contacts, calendars, photos, and other data on the phone, but will restore automatically backed-up information including text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, etc. Of course, make sure that you back up your phone before restoring.

Podcasts are listed in random order for some users who are reportingthat podcast episodes are not being displayed properly by date. We encountered this problem in one out of seven podcasts on a test iPhone 3GS. This bug has been confirmed by Apple, so look for a fix in a future firmware update.

This has been happening to me a lot.

Random freezes or shutdowns are a major complaint for users after upgrading. The problem is the source of heated discussions within a huge Apple discussion threadcontaining nearly 900 posts. The problem seems to manifest itself whenever the iPhone goes to sleep, the user locks the display, or just randomly. When the user next tries to use the phone, he or she will find it completely unresponsive--the display remains blank and pressing buttons won't wake it. The only recourse for the user is to perform a reset as described above.

Battery life is another major complaintfor users after upgrading and one we've encountered ourselves. So far, none of the usual fixes have resolved a problem some are claiming happens even when the iPhone is idle. Regardless, we've noticed on our own iPhone 3GS that battery life is significantly poorer after upgrading to iPhone OS 3.1. It isn't unusual to commute home at the end of the day with 25 percent or less battery life.

Apple is clearly aware of the battery problem and is actively trying to resolve it by engaging iPhone users in a study. Participating users will receive a special BatteryLifeLogging.mobilecongfigfile that will capture Powerlog files from the iPhone when syncing with iTunes. The user sends the log files to Apple via e-mail or http://bugreport.apple.com. Hopefully with enough input, Apple will find the root cause of this problem and issue a fix in a future firmware update.

guide to getting the most out of your iPhone battery for suggestions on improving battery life.

Slow or sluggish performance is a complaintfrom some users, blaming the problem on MobileMe syncing. 1. Launch the Settings App
2. Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3.Go to your MobileMe account
4. Turn off contacts and calendars
5.When prompted, delete them from your iPhone
6.Reset your iPhone by holding down the sleep and home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
7. Perform steps 1-5, but this time turn contacts and calendar syncing on.

If the above steps do not resolve the problem, another alternative is to delete your MobileMe account from your iPhone, perform a reset, and set up your MobileMe account from scratch.

Unknown error (-50)was an error we encountered when syncing from iPhoto to our iPhone 3GS on another computer. According to Apple, all we needed to do was sync using iTunes 9, which we had not installed on the second computer. After upgrading to iTunes 9 the problem disappeared.

OKLAHOMA'S HOTTEST REALTOR

AT&T just announced that MMS is going to be released on Sept.25 but there is still no date for the tethering. AT&T is still waiting on some upgrades to there system because they think that tethering will bring an increase in traffic. At&T has been working on upgrading their system to 850MHZ, 7.2 Mbps which should be done sometime next year.

The app costs $100 and allows the iPhone to function as a real-time navigation device that provides turn-by-turn directions.

The main benefit here is obvious: One less hardware gizmo to keep track of. Before you shell out $100 for the TomTom iPhone app and put your standalone GPS unit up for sale on Craigslist, consider these factors:

The software is only part of the cost. For the best GPS experience with your iPhone you'll need to buy the optional Car Kit, which includes a car mount, charger, additional GPS antenna, microphone, speaker, and audio-out jack. TomTom says it will offer a bundle, but the cost has not yet been officially announced. Unofficially the cost is predicted to be $90.

TomTom iPhone app is a lot closer to that of the company's standalone GPS units. For $120 at Best Buy you purchase a TomTom One XL Portable GPS unit that includes a windshield mount, power adapter, and turn-by-turn voice prompts. That GPS unit affixed to my window and plugged into my lighter is looking better and better.

Another negative regarding the TomTom iPhone app is it doesn't include text-to-speech capability, which means it can't announce street names. While I suspect this feature will find its way into future versions, it doesn't exist in the initial release. Personally, I'd rather hear "Turn left at Green Street," not "Turn left in 200 feet," particularly while driving in congested cities.

The iPhone is still a phone. And that means there's a good chance you'll need to answer a call while the TomTom app is voicing directions. Take the call and mute the app? Or let TomTom talk and send the call to voicemail? Could a dash-mounted iPhone running the TomTom app be considered "texting" and illegal to use in some states?

CoPilot Live, which costs $35, offers many of the same features.

Bond Money will be available Tuesday, August 25, 2009 for first time home buyers for FHA/VA loans. Intrest rate will be 6.10% with 3.5% down payment assistance. You can also use the $8,000 tax credit.
