Thanks Gary, I'll check that out on the PC later. Mine is still looking greenish.

The 4 and 4S has an IPS panel with LED back lighting, not sure the 3GS had that?

Yours definitely looks better than mine, Gary, but I'll see what happens over the next week or so.

Im perfectly happy with my screen, I hope yours settles in or you get a new one. Millions of these were sold in days (4 million) so there are bound to be oddity and glitches like the battery one some peeps have, it gets reported so much because there are so many handsets out there in one go that the media seize that, HTC, Samsung etc all have their glitches as well.

I had a couple of interesting conversations with O2 re the inability of the iPhone 4S to send mms pictures (iMessage mms works fine via WiFi). It appears that unless you have a 3G signal there's no guarantee that a mms can be sent if the default MMS max size is used.The default max size size for those on an iPhone data tariff is around 2MB , I believe it's the same for the iPhone 4 and 3GS although pictures from 3GS will probably not approach this size. For those on a non iPhone data tariff the default max MMS size is 300kb.

If your stuck on a 2G network you've little choice except to reduce the max MMS message size until the 'picture' sends. The initial suggestion was to reduce to 500kb.

Interesting, Steve. That doesn't quite explain, however, how the same picture can refuse to be sent one minute, via MMS on 3G, then it will send on the next attempt. My guess is that it depends how strong the 3G signal is at the time of sending, and this can change simply by moving a little, or holding the phone differently.

Incidentally, how are you getting on with Siri? I'm finding it probably more hassle than it's worth, as I have to go back to correct lots of things, and in the end, it would have been easier to have typed it!

I'm currently rarely using Siri,when I remember it I've only a 2G signal. I have enough trouble using the voice activated hands free in the car. I've had some success with MotionX GPS which works well on the 4S , it's main use is for walking and biking.

I'm thinking of buying another bike.

Rik · Oct 31, 2011, 14:26:54

One for each leg, Glenn?

Glenn · Oct 31, 2011, 14:27:34

I'll be selling one, too

This man is versatile.

I use Siri all the time now, I have spent enough time with it so that it seems to type better than me

Had a very odd chat about its creator...mms sending ok here, its about as reliable as the 4 was, basically if I have edge is sends fine, if a little slowly, O2 generally alter settings and Apple will bug fix, point releases that include security updates are a pain.

Mine is still yellowy.
