Finally figured out how to get rid of stupid newsstand thing.

Were you able to actually Get rid of it? Of just the "hide-it" trick? I'd love to be able to delete it alltogether.

Just the hide it trick. But that's better than nothing cause I like organization and hated not being able to hide it. I read somewhere you can move it to the 14th page and then go back to main screen and it will delete it. I tried that didn't work.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

You should have asked here. 42 could have told you how to do it since the day iOS was released.

Whatever you do - don't click on it once it's in a folder - instant crash.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

I just stuck it on a new page of my home screen all by itself.

Apps on page 1, games on page 2, Newstand all by itself on page 3 where I never see it.

I tried that, but it ate it me, I knew it was there, and I knew it served no purpose. I couldn't handle it. I HAD to hide it. I had to do something, it was just too much to handle.

Anyone try the Incipio NGP case? I just got the matte, translucent mercury grey one. Love the protection and the fact that the translucence shows off the iPhone.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

My first iPhone experience has been bitter sweet. I've been with sprint for years. I've been upgrade eligible for awhile now and finally decided to spring forward with a 'smart phone'. I got the 4s 16gb. The same day of purchase, I get a SIM FAILURE notification, then I have no service at all. I reboot and start over. That seemed to fix things for awhile.. Then it randomly happens again.. I read up on the apple community boards and it's happening to many others... I then did a clean backup and installed the new 5.0.1 with the 'fix'. Well, 4 hours of downloading 810mb in iTunes on my computer, and another 2 hours of reconfiguring everything, I am left with the same issues. This one may be going back to sprint. This is beyond pathetic. I already bought a case and screen protector, and may be out on that, plus the $35 dollar restocking fee, but at this point, may be worth it..

Got my wife an iPhone 4s for Christmas. Any recommendation on cases?

The 4S has been having these problems pretty widespread. I wouldn't pay a restocking fee since it's a known problem and not just a personal change of phone preference.

U got the iPhone with sprint, where is ur location, I had to give up my iPhone with sprint, the 3g service is terrible, I loved this phone so much too. Couldn't deal with waiting a whole 5 minutes for one app to install.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

After using a matte screen protector for my iPhone 4 since day one, I decided to switch over to a clear screen protector and....man, that screen looks good! It's like I have a new phone.

I'm also using it naked (no case) just for the heck of it but I keep it in a pouch that I no longer use for my glasses. I'll probably use a case again but I really like the way it looks as is. It's a beautiful phone.

That depends. When installing, did you keep navigating through the phone? If so, that will cause the app to install slowly, not the network speed.

The reason Apple's interface moves so smoothly is that they set the highest priority for that, everything else takes a back seat. If, while installing an app, you navigate menus and such, app will take longer to install, than just letting it sit there while it installed.

Re: iPhone Discussion Thread

Nah - it's a well known issue with Sprint. Their speeds are terrible on the iPhone.

No one seems to know why either and Sprint won't admit/deny it.

Well yes, but what I said isn't incorrect either. Sprint has decent service in the NYC area, which FF is from.

Anyone know of any cases that offer similar protection as an otterbox, but isn't as bulky?
