Xcode 4 in the App Store

Everybody excited about iOS 4.3 being out 2 days earlier.

But if you are an Apple Devices Developer you would be excited about Xcode 4 coming out of beta.

Grab it here: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/index.php

Xcode 4 is the new version of Apple’s powerful integrated development environment for creating great apps for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Xcode 4 includes the Xcode IDE, Instruments, iOS Simulator, and the latest Mac OS X and iOS SDKs.

Xcode 4 has a streamlined new interface that integrates UI design, coding, testing, and debugging, all within a single window. The embedded Apple LLVM compiler underlines coding mistakes as you type, and is even smart enough to fix the problems for you automatically.

Your contacts are automatically loaded from your phone and your JAJAH account, so you can simply click to call and save.

If you use Jajah, This iPhone App is a must.

Grab it here: iTunes App Store

Did you know that since iOS 3.0 Apple added a new Undo/Redo feature to the iPhone.

I just think that this unTalked feature deserve mentioning.

To undo your last change, simply shake your iPhone. Same thing to redo your last change.

Pretty Cool! Don’t you think?

I personally declare iOS 4.1 as the buggiest iPhone OS so far.

Receive push notifications for new text or voicemail messages.

This is great news for every Google Voice user except Sean Kovacs, GV Mobile Creator.

If you need to login with more than one account GV Mobile is your way to go.

Thank you for choosing Apple.

Sincerely,

One of the features missing on the iPhone is HTML signature for Mail, and if you are using two different email addresses like me you probably want to have two different Signatures, right? Even with the new iPhone 4 you can’t.

I created a solution for that (without jailbreaking the iPhone) and I use it all the time.

Yesterday I decided to share it with the world, please go here to use it and drop a line if you like it or if you have any suggestions .

The Great Israeli company Fring just updated their iPhone App to allow video calls.

Fring App supports Skype video calls on iPhone 4 before Skype, Great Job.

Front facing camera, FaceTime, LED flash, speed, the screen, folders, multitasking, HD video, speaker quality, design, multiply exchange servers.

All and more are GREAT FEATURES.

BUT…..

Since I got my new iPhone (Jun24) I’m busy with troubleshooting a new issue every day.

FaceTime not working after porting a number.

FaceTime disconnecting every 30sec or so.

Bluetooth headset & Car Bluetooth connects and disconnects every few minutes .

Bluetooth muffled on other end of the line.

When exchange server configured Auto-Lock disabled. (enabled if exchange removed and reinstalled but shows nothing on the Auto-Lock settings page)

Passcode lock settings missing.

And the BIGGEST PROBLEM: Can’t be used as a phone.

Most of my calls ends with a drop-call, I barely press the End button (with or without the Bumper).

** I tried everything that I can think of to fix the problems, I also tried everything that I saw online.

The thing that bother me the most is that Apple does not recognize most of the problems, I actually been offered by Apple Store employee to return my iPhone 4 and get a new iPhone 3gs – Just ridiculous.

If you just Google few of this issues you’ll find that lots of iPhone 4 users are sharing the some problems, here is a partial list:

http://appletoolbox.com/2010/06/iphone-4-facetime-doesnt-work-after-porting-number-from-sprint-verizon-or-t-mobile-fix/

Here we go:

On the 24th I upgraded my iPhone at an Apple store.
I also got a new iPhone with a new line and ported the phone number from T-Mobile. (2nd phone)

The Apple store employee that helped was very nice and the new iPhone worked great, including FaceTime.

Once my T-Mobile number was ported FaceTime stopped working.

The iPhone could not receive FaceTime calls but could initiate FaceTime calls.
When I tried the caller ID that appeared on my UPGRADED iPhone were the Other iPhone New Temporary number I got until the port from T-Mobile completed.

So from that I understood that FaceTime servers registered the phone number as the FaceTime user name, but the problem was that the servers registered the temporary number (a number ATT gave us until the port from T-Moblie will complete).

So I started troubleshooting the iPhone, this is what I did:

Restarted the iPhone
Tried using FaceTime with other people.
Reset the network settings
Called AT&T to reActivate the sim card.
Restore the phone from backup.

Nothing worked… So I called AT&T Again – no help.
Called Apple Care / technical support – no help.
Went back to the Apple store- nothing.
Called AT&T again and they put Apple Rep on the line – no help and a very rude response.  (first time from Apple)

The AT&T rep that helped me finally understood the problem from being with me on the phone for hours trying to find a solution and she got AT&T engineer on the phone that fully understood the issue and thanked me for bringing it up.

He had no solution but he gave me his personal phone number to discuss the progress of resolving it.

He said that he will work with Apple engineers until it will be resolved.

He also understood that this is a problem that will welcome any new (porting) AT&T / iPhone user.

In the meantime I kept on trying to fix the problem my self so I tried to:

Reset the iPhone content and settings and reActivate with iTunes. Finally it worked.
But when I restored the phone from backup it stopped working again. So I figured out that theres a file (plist or cookie) on the phone that saves the Facetime user information.

This time I reseted only the phone settings. And when I tried FaceTime again the phone registered the right number.

I know that most Apple reps can not understand the problem or give a solution.

So try just Reset the Settings (only the settings) and it should work.

I tried it on 3 different phones and it did the job.

* Please leave a comment if my solution helped you.

Do the following:

1. Go to the App store
2. Download the new Apple Store App
3. Reserve your iPhone to pickup at a store near you

This is the only way that I found working at the moment, Good Luck!

You’ve all seen by now the new iPhone, and Gizmodo covered it A-Z from rumors to facts.

They also covered the features missing they like to see.

One of the features that I see in my iOS4 GoldMaster edition is the ability to Gift an App.

It does not working yet but this is a cool feature for parents that want to buy apps for their kids without giving them full access to their iTunes account OR if you just want to Gift someone you Love.
