Problem finally solved, It was my modem i guess is out of date so it denies any file bigger then 2gb, Hence why only the mountain lion osx (4.44GB) wouldnt download, So now im forced to buy a new modem for 100 bucks. F U centurylink.

Just gotta find me an open wireless or one without a login screen and il DL it from there, Really want/need to get this thing sold.

 

ToyComa92, I just saw a cable modem on sale at wal-mart for, I think, $25. I looked up centurylink and couldn't tell what type of service it was (dsl, cable, etc.). If you want, I'll look again and make sure it is docsis 3.0 compliant, then we can work out an arrangement to get it to you. Not the fastest solution for this particular problem, but good for the future. One other thing--have you tried updating the firmware on your current modem? Here is an interesting link if you happen to have the modem they describe (2-wire 2700HGV). http://bt2700hgv.tripod.com/ir1002700HGV.htm

 

Ah, I see. Maybe try playing music on the iPhone then change the output to speakerphone and then pause the music. Might get it to play the notifications out of the phone instead. Hopefully if you then get a call it still plays through the car stereo using Bluetooth.

 

Well its an 2700HG-D so i dont think any of that will work, And i was told it had to be a centurylink modem. Its DSL (unfortunely where i live we dont have cable internet yet) haha

 

Anyone know what to do when the top lock button is stuck on your iPhone 4s?

 

You can use a feature called AssistiveTouch.

Settings>General>Scroll down to Accessibility>Scroll down to AssistiveTouch and turn it on

A little black square with a white circle will appear. You can place it anywhere on the border of your screen you'd like too, and it lets you do quite a lot, like lock your screen(you just use your home button to wake your phone up) and screen shot, etc. It also allows for custom gestures as well.

This will at least allow you to turn off your screen when you want to until you get the button fixed.

If you dont like it you can just set your auto-lock to one minute.

 

I already do both its just annoying how this seems to always happen with these phones. My gf had this happen to her phone twice and got both of them replaced but whenever I go into the store I leave with the same POS phone

 

Ah my bad

I dont see why so many people have this problem lol. Me and all my family and friends have never had this problem (knock on wood)

Im sure theres probably a write up online on how to repair it.

 

This is the first i've hear of this happening, are they all iPhone 4?

 

X2

On a side note I just replaced the screen on a buddy's iPhone 4 this weekend. Not too bad as long as you can keep track of 100 microscopic screws. so replacing the lock button yourself shouldn't be too hard.

 

I've had the 4 with no problems but my gf had this problem with her 4 once, then I switched to the 4s and its just started happening recently, and now she has the 4s too and they've already replaced 2 or her 4s. When I was in the apple store there were 2 other people with this exact problem. I looked it up online and it seems like its a pretty common thing, people open up their phone and put a piece of folded up pair in where the rubber bumper is supposed to be to lock your screen.

 

Hmm, good luck getting it figured out.

Anyone know when IOS7 is being released? i know it's getting released the 18th, but anyone know what time?

 

Is apple care+ really worth they extra money? i plain on getting a life proof before long and keeping it on that most the time. should be getting a black 32g 5s friday, my 4 stopped working last saturday and i am without a phone.

 

Are you a clutz that breaks their phone once or ideally twice in two years? Then yes.

 

no. my 4 lasted 2.5 years, not even a cracked screen. (knock on wood)and it has fallen out of the truck when i have been getting out. had it in a lifeproof and was on the rhino and it fell and i ran it over with the back tire.(1200lbs side by side plus 2 people in it) so i’d say close to 500lbs or so ran it over.

 

Just go with a SquareTrade warranty. You can actually download their app and add warranty to your phone for like $6.99/month if you're beyond your 90 days of purchase.

 

10 am PST says me

 

Yep ios7 was available as of 10 am PST

I tried to download it but it failed , I'll try again later

 

same here. looks to be a widespread issue.

 

Seems to be slowly rolling out. A friend got the update but mine isn't seeing it.
