I only jailbroke to hacktivate my original iPhone and install SBS settings to disable edge data.

After getting the 3GS and all the new software stuff that came out in OS3.0 I felt there wasn't a need for it.

Plus I don't like all the ghey themes that could change my phone to.

 

And if you jailbroke your 3G why didn't you turn on the battery % meter?

 

i didnt do it - but your email above is all I need to hear, I dont need themes.

 

Your loss!

 

good

 

The themes are completely up to you to add. They never add anything for you.

 

Not a fan of the meter

 

I don't get it, you guys act like jailbreaking costs something.

It's free, it's completely harmless, and it's incredibly easy. All it does is open you a world of aaplications that Apple people don't want you to have.

 

so, themes, and a scrollbar? pass.

 

tell me some other apps that are cool -

or link me to apps sites showing top apps and such.. thx

 

Here are some links, but that's not the point. Jailbreaking solves the problems people have with the phone. For just about every complaint people have with it, jailbreaking provides a solution...

Don't like have to scroll to the bottom of a long webpage? Download Quickscroll

Don't like not being able to multitask? Download backgrounder

Want to be able to take video (non 3GS)? Doownload Cycorder

Want e-mails, calendar event, sms, weather, sports, ect. on your lock screen? There are tons for this, but try Intelliscreen.

Get my drift?

I don't have problems with any of that. That is, nothing related to any of that leaves me thinking "damn I wish I could _________". So I'll be saving myself the hassle and leaving it alone. Thank you!

 

pimp out my iphone? ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES I *NEED* THAT

hilarious

 

FontSwap is something I would do it for. I don't like the built-in (and unchangeable (???) font). Nice on the Blackberries where this is a built-in feature to choose fonts and sizes. But, not worth jailbreaking just for this one reason.

PDANet would be nice, problem is my iphone is like a laptop replacement for me now, I use it IN PLACE of my laptop - its fast enough to do it.

Backgrounder sounds cool but again I don't feel a longing for it.

 

I just don't want to do it because I have no need for it. My phone works how I want it too, no complaints other than some hardware issues.

Plus I like being able to update my phone right when the new OS' come out.

 

I haven't upgraded since 3.0, nor do I feel like need to

 

I would, for the security updates

 

What security?

 

have you guys checked this one out yet?

he's doing reviews on some of the apps.. looks good to me. (even tho, the apps that he intro needs $$)

 

Anybody who's jailbroken know where I can I find the weather app that displays the live weather temp on the top right corner next to the
battery percentage?

 

Go to Cydia, search for WeatherIcon

...I think that's the one you're looking for

 

hmmm...might be time to replace the palm

 

I shouldve just unlocked my 3GS being that it's set up for all my email and has a better camera and stuff.

I think when I get back home I'll jailbreak and unlock my 3GS and sell my 2G iPhone. (and over here they call it a 2G iPhone)

 

about jailbreaking.... I just synced my iPhone to my computer, default settings. If my phone bricks while its jailbreaking, will I be able to restore all my contacts?

 

I wonder if they'll have an app or future update to have that "Swype" texting

 

You should be able to.

IIRC, it prompts you before it syncs them. I sold my 3G and when I went to sync my 3GS, all my contacts were loaded into it; all my SMS messages was also synced. I have my contacts synced to my Address Book just in case.

 

would be cool. i could see an app that allowed you to copy and paste to the other apps, but unless there is an OS update it wouldn't be native.

 

Anything you want synced to your iphone has to be stored somewhere on a server. If you have a contacts management database compatible with the iphone/itunes, you will be able to resync.

 

Fiancee got me the 3GS for Xmas

Love this phone! Got it synced up to my gmail contacts

 

Anyone have any rumors or other info on the 4G iPhone?

NM, I just googled. http://gizmodo.com/5150375/new-iphon...and-ipod-touch

Might as well add the info here...

 

^ I imagine we'll here something on the 27th during their media event.

I also doubt it will look like the gizmodo renderings...

 

There's not much yet.

Verizon
Will probably have the new google navigation maps
Better processor?
better screen?

 

Most recent rumor on macrumors is possibly the newer processors.

the Jan 27th is supposedly for the tablet....we'll see.

 

yea thats really really old. look at the date, just about 1 year ago.

 

Facebook 3.1 is out and it's awesome! Push notifications for everything and contact sync! Both are great! With Push Notifications I can now turn off email notifications which will greatly reduce my incoming email. Contact sync will sync profile photos from FB and use them as contact photos in Contacts and will add the link to their FB page to your iPhone contacts.

 

Meh.

 

I am having some trouble with the push notifications though, I get the notification and open facebook app then click on my notifications list and the thing I was notified of is not there in the list, which means I can't see what it was I was there to see. I'm also not getting notifications in the main Facebook page on my PC. Anyone else see this? It's happened to me twice.

 

I haven't even received the update

 

well whatever it was it's working now. I guess it was just an initial bug on the server side that they fixed real quick

 

My GF and I just got 3gs' for the new year. Great phones. Tempted to jailbreak but afraid of bricking... eh. I'll consider it down the road I guess.
