After waffling between the HTC Incredible 2 and the iPhone 4 for two weeks I put my money down for the iPhone 4. This is my first smartphone and I've had it less than a week. I have a few basic questions.
1) I read the recent thread on battery life. Good stuff there. Is it a good idea to completely deplete the battery every once in a while?
2) Is it possible to overcharge the phone? In other words, is it okay to leave the phone plugged into the charger overnight?
3) Is it a good idea to turn the iPhone 4 off every so often? I have weak signal at my house (in the country) and normally get 1 bar but could get 0 or 2 and rarely 3. So, my habit with my LG Dare was to turn the phone off when I get home from work so the phone won't continually look for a signal and drain the battery.
4) I've been unable to connect my iPhone 4 to my Lenovo Thinkpad W510 (64 bit Windows 7) via Bluetooth. I believe the Thinkpad is okay since I recently transferred my photos from the LG Dare to the Thinkpad with Bluetooth. The Thinkpad is set to allow itself to be found and it can find the iPhone 4. However, when I turn on the iPhone 4's Bluetooth, it sits there, searching and does not find the Thinkpad. When I tested my iPhone with a friend's hands free Bluetooth device in his car, the phone found the device. So, I think Bluetooth is working okay on the iPhone and I'm not sure what's going on here. A colleague at work told me the iPhone 4 was not designed to connect to "anything with a hard drive" using Bluetooth. That doesn't sound right to me. Any ideas?
I've already learned quite a bit by reading the threads on this site. Thanks for any help you can give me.
