I'm afraid iOS5 will drain my battery faster than 4.3.3

I also don't see anything in iOS5 worth upgrading for if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

I think you need to check that voicemail from Stan, he might do something crazy and hurt himself....

Ok, the iPhone I got the wife for xmas was a hit. She loves it for the most part. Is there a non jailbroken app to be able to toggle wifi on/off quickly like in the pic stunna posted? She could do it with two clicks on her android phone.

Ok once you install spire, how do these validation tokens work? I have a friend with a 4s who would probably let me use his if he wouldn't get in trouble for it (I don't think he would).

I posted something a while back, but IIRC either 5.0.1 broke it or 5.1 will break it.

For Spire you need to set up a proxy server or something. Can't remember the details but it's not plug n play yet.

I'll wait a few more days. I'm hearing of some bugs coming up like the big boss repo is empty. No rush.

It's ok, I didn't really like it that much so I deleted them.

But you can try them and see if she will like it. If not then delete em.

No, the guy is bipolar and lonely and broke and I'm his "computer guy". Last time I was there he didn't have money, I let it slide because I knew he'd need me again. This time he says he only has $2 for me.....homie don't play that!

I thought it was great at first but it really isnt that much better than clicking through the settings app. Sure at times it takes you directly to the setting which is helpful in itself, but the amount of clicks which is the measure if work you need to do can be the same as how many clicks it takes you to do the same thing by going to the settings app itself. i tried the icon settings for wifi and bluetooth and felt it had minimal impact for me, but i could see for someone that doesnt know their way around the iphone that it could be beneficial.

Well, she only has a 300MB data plan and likes pandora so she cuts wifi on when she gets to work and cuts it off when she leaves. There's really no need to have wifi outside work except weekends so I always tell her to cut wifi off to save battery.

I've used PDAnet, but reading on new versions, there is an option to hide data usage, but some are saying it is not working :/ I need to test it.

I also use 3Gunrestrictor to allow over 20MB downloads via 3G. I'll do more research maybe there are new apps.

I'm confused so you can make a call. But for data you just use wifi?

What's the difference then disabling data over 2G/3G in the network settings?

Btw at least with AT&T you need a data plan when you buy the phone.
If you buy used then you can get away w/o getting data.

ATT will add data to your phone once they see you have an iphone on their network.

This applies to any smartphone for that matter. It just happened to my FIL's phone that we bought used and rolled his phone number to. At first they didn't charge us for the data plan, but then they realized he had a smartphone and began charging us for the data plan. I don't know how they figured it out, but I think they can tell just by the IMEI number.

what happened to our account happened just a few weeks ago.
