February 4th, 2009 Category: iPhoneWhen the VoiceMailbox of your iPhone catches the incoming call to early you can change the time after which the call is forwarded to the VoiceMailbox. It’s not possible to change this within the iPhone but this can be achieved using some special codes entered in the iPhone (works for T-Mobile Germany).
The time after which the incoming call is forwarded to the VoiceMailbox can be changed in intervals of 5, 10, 20, 25 or 30 seconds using the code (press dial key after the code has been entered):
**61*3311*11*25#
This will change the time to 25 seconds after the call is forwarded to the iPhone VoiceMailbox. Thanks to Bogi for this tip.
Use the Google search for further special codes for T-Mobile Germany.

iPhone January 24th, 2009 Category: iPhone  | When you ever got a new iPhone you will have recognized that there is no user manual delivered. The manual with 174 pages is available for download at Apple’s support website: And the PDF with a size of 15 MByte can also viewed on your iPhone, like on the picture besides. Also this maybe not very comfortable… |
By the way, do you know how to generate screen shots of your iPhone? It’s possible with Firmware version higher than 2.0: Press and hold the home button. Now press the on/off button and a screen shot will be stored in the folder “Movies (I think it should be Movie, when the language is set to German it is “Film”).

A friend of me told about connection problems with his brand new iPhone G3 (I also have one, shrug. By the way, if anyone is wondering why I’m owner of G3: the responsible person was mentioned in the first sentence of this article. So I think in case of connection problems I’ll make him responsible – sue him, ha ha!). During phone calls it happens that the connection is lost and afterwards it may take some time to find the network again. So he went to a local store of a German provider (T-Mobile) and asked. They told him “Sure, disable G3 and it will work” (G3 means UMTS connection).
Went through the internet and found some articles which seem to approve this issue. Looks like that nobody is perfect. After checking the settings of my iPhone I’ve recognized that I’ve disabled G3 in order save battery run time. This would explain why I’ve not experienced such problems. At least it sounds reasonable, doesn’t it?
Give us back good old analogue telephones with cable! Just kidding of course. If you experience similar problems feel free to post them here.
A few related links I found regarding this issue:

I could survive several years now without playing Solitaire, good luck. But after obtaining a iPhone things got worse and I’m addicted again…
A must for Solitaire addicts! Many options, nice graphics and cute sound effects.
The lite version is free and fulfills my whishes absolutely. Get it from SolitaireCity or directly from your iTunes shop under free applications.
Update: The latest lite version includes less games, unfortunalty my favorite is missing now. Therefore I’ve purchased the full version now. According to feedback in the iTunes store the new version is a little bit unstable. I can confirm that the app does sometimes terminate when choosing games, but playing itself seems stable. For me still worth paying for the app.

You may have been wondering like me that your personal ring tone (maybe generated from a MP3) does not appear on your iPhone after synchronization? You can easily go around this issus, simply right click on your ring tone in iTunes and choose “Information”. Wihtin this menu go to the second tab “Information” and delete all fields expect the “Name”.
Finally synchronize again and you will see that your ring tone will appear in your personal ring tones on your iPhone.
