isn't there mobiplus?

 

Yup, it's improved over 3G and 3GS.

Same chip as in the iPad.

 

Fuck so my iPhone is hit as fuck right now.

Touching the back it's very hot to the touch

 

hot as fuck*


stupid auto correct sometimes.

 

Is doing an OS 4.0 update on 3G worth it? I read a lot of people having issues with slow phones etc.. I am backing up my phone right now. Still not sure if I should do it or not.

I don't know if I have a 3G or 3Gs.

 

Does your camera app have tap to zoom or a video option? If so then you have a 3GS.

 

No. So I have a 3G then. Is it worth trying. I don't want to sit all night for it to finish...

This stupid backup, stuck at 2 mins for last 10 mins...

 

You do both and cancel your cable bill get a digital antennae so you can still pickup HD broadcast stations for free so you get most of your local sports games and then use espn3.com for everything else. Throw in a Windows 7 box with digital tuner and Media Center and you've got a kickass DVR/HTPC setup! with access to everything, hulu, netflix, espn3, and broadcast HD all on your big screen.

 

Back up didnt take that long for me. I really don't notice anything different. It seems a little snappier when opening up apps.

edit: Also we get zoom, spell check, folders. Nothing really significant for the 3G.

 

Feels like the heat is/was coming from where the a4 chip is supposed to be based off the ifixit teardown...

Actualluly it's more the logic board that is warm than the battery

 

Back up is complete now. What do I have to do in order to put all my stuff back in my phone once the new OS is installed? here..

Speedemon90: Sounds like its probably not worth the trouble then.

 

Yea the 3G gets kind of shafted

 

ehh not so much, but I still did it. Main reason, apps, soon all the new apps will require 4.0 or later.

Once you get 4.0 on your iphone, open up itunes, right click on your phone, click restore from backup. Then you should be able to choose your file and restore it. Pretty simple.

 

Soo iBooks is acting really weird for me, dunno if its due to the jailbreak or what, but whenever I try to download a book that sync option comes up and it says to press continue to sign in and all that. I click continue and I type in the password, then its starts downloading. 30 seconds later (or sooner) it comes up again. It will keep coming up until I see that bar for the book downloading full, then it comes up a final time. Type in the password. I'm waiting like 5 minutes, it still doesnt finish downloading. Tried reinstalling iBooks, same problem.

 

It all depends on what you watch. I'd do it in a heartbeat since I can get shows off of places that are on cable/HBO. But my kids watch Nick Jr and Boomerang 24/7 so I need that for now. Plus to do it on 3 TVs will be pricey. If I was a bachelor I'd have been cancelled my DirecTV. I don't think I'll subscribe to Hulu Plus since I really don't watch TV on my phone. When I commute I drive and the 30 mins I'm at lunch I read the paper. Plus I'm already a Netflix member so if anything I'll watch shows available on the queue for when that app comes out. I'm more happy that it's out there for competition to Netflix thus more technogical innovation.

 

The stuff for the kids will keep me tied to DTV as well.

But I am going to network the house and put in a WHS.



iPhone related: my bumper case arrived yesterday. Very anticlimactic.

 

$10 / Month for Hulu = Fail.

 

Here's something someone can answer for me:

The maps app on the 3G is slow as balls...frozen in molasses. If you leave it on a contact page when you close it down, it takes an age for it to get into a useable searchable state again.

Any improvements? I would imagine it's faster. Also, anyone updated to 4.0 on their 3G notice any difference?

 

 

If you haven't already done it. I would upgrade without the multitasking feature. Here's how: http://iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=10188

 

DONT DO IT. its not really worth it and my iphone couldnt access the app store at all. battery life increased tho

 

cool.

but i just walked into the att store yesterday and bought one. no wait at all

 

u have a jb on 4.0?

So the jokes on me.... Ordered bumpers with 2 day shipping and the order says "shipping by July 16th"

 

Yeah my friend in Nashville got one yesterday at 9am waiting 5 mins in line. Ideal time per the ATT employee.

 

I called several at&t stores in the area yesterday, no phones. They told me the best bet is to order it and have it shipped to me within a week or so.

Ended up ordering it direct through Apple, since the $18 upgrade fee was waived through them (but not when I tried to order through at&t, weird). Now my order says shipping 7/26.

Oh well. It will probably ship earlier, but I'm not in a huge rush.

 

Thanks for explaining.

I jailbreak my phone last night using Spirit from Gizmodo.com.


So, I ended up not doing it. I jailbreak it last night and loving the changes so far. I totally like how I can set wallpaper now instead of black background...

 

I walked straight in with no wait... Left the store in 5min

 

who else used Blackra1n to jailbreak their 3G/3GS?

I did also on my 3G and loved it. Cant wait to jailbreak my iphone4

 

WOW SO FUNNY I BET we HAVENT SEEN THIS BEFORE!

 

Change your kids watching habits! They watch Nick Jr cause it's on, they'll watch anything and forget all about nick, jr. in no time.

You could get one HTPC and then get xbox 360s for the other TVs, it will act as a media center extender also you can do netflix, espn3 and Hulu plus with an xbox live gold account.

 

Says the dude with no kids.

 

 

I got nieces at least. They come over and say they want to watch show X. I say bunk that garbage show we're watching toy story or lion king! The flip the shit out and call me the best uncle EVAR! and forget all about that garbage ass show they originally wanted to watch.

 

If you say so.

 

I mean who's the adult here!?!? No 4yr old is going to tell ME what to do!!
