Dusty Chalk Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) While I am sure it is not too difficult to jailbreak an iphone, is there anyone out there that would be willing to do it for me. One of my associates husbands may be able to do it but just in case, I would like to have a back up.I'd be happy to, if you don't end up being talked into doing it yourself. I've jailbroken my iPhone 2ce now (1.4 and 2.2.1). (And when I say "I've jailbroken", I don't want to take too much credit -- I didn't figure it out, I just ran someone else's software.) There is always a lag between versions and jailbreaks -- sometimes they're longer than others. I suspect 3.0 will be non-trivial, so we'll have to watch for it. I monitor the jailbreaking community, so I can let you know. Edited June 9, 2009 by Dusty Chalk

MexicanDragon Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 Me too. I discovered on Friday that my chest waders have a nice leak and I left my touch in my pocket . Currently DOA with little likelihood of revival. Try this... get a Tupperware container and fill it with rice and place the device in the rice and let it sit for about a day. The rice draws out the moisture. It's worked well for cell phones in the past, give it a shot with your touch. **BRENT**
bhd812 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Posted June 9, 2009 Uncle Ben's should come out with an app for that, and with 3.0 OS they can use the dock connector, headphone jack, and outside buttons to dry out remotely using MobileME

The Monkey Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 My questions: 1) Is the upgrade from the Gen 1 iPhone to this new one significant in terms of speed, both in terms of performance and connectivity? 2) Is it reasonable to anticipate that the iPhone will be on Verizon by next year? AT&T sucks in NYC--and I mean it sucks bad. So, if Verizon is soon, then I will just hold off.
Hopstretch Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 1) Unknown, but highly probable. It likely has a significantly faster processor and double the RAM. 2) Unknown, much less probable. Likely depends on a combination of how much ATT might be willing to pony up to stay exclusive and how fast Verizon moves away from CDMA in the transition to its 4G network. I think the smart money is on 2011.
grawk Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 I've decided not to upgrade my 1st gen to the 3GS because I mostly use edge anyway, and it's $20 instead of $30 for the data plan.
Hopstretch Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 1) Unknown, but highly probable. It likely has a significantly faster processor and double the RAM. Updated answer. It should be a lot faster. And if they're not cheating in the video, it is. Let Nelson sell you one!
TheSloth Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 And if they're not cheating in the video, it is. Let Nelson sell you one! Don't you love the fake hand in the video?! During the and movie and picture taking section...
tyrion Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 i'm in the process of installing iPhone OS 3.0. i'll give impressions, if anyone wants them, once it's done and i've used it for a while. Where did you get the firmware from?
tyrion Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 I have an apple dev account through work. Cool.
bhd812 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 reks this is the iphone thread, of course post your impressions as they come, if your words dont help now they may someone down the road later on.. this is a good thread!
bhd812 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 Hmmmm, time to buy some Uncle Ben's stock I see... haha
bhd812 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 whats the music do, close the ipod down and send you to the home screen? or lock up the phone and you need to hold the sleep and home button down to reset it? what kind of music files?
aardvark baguette Posted June 10, 2009 Report Posted June 10, 2009 192 aac files, made in iTunes. it just locks up as soon as it starts to play, and i have to reset. never had a problem with them before. 192 kbbs can't capture the all the awesomeness that is jazz. Duh.
naamanf Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Installing OS 3.0 as we speak. This might be the key stone of my new house.

naamanf Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Installing OS 3.0 as we speak. This might be the key stone of my new house. Everything seems to be working just fine with 3.0. Just can't figure out how to get MMS working. Maybe the "final" build that I used isn't that final.
HeadphoneAddict Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 AT&T won't activate MMS till later this summer.
Hopstretch Posted June 11, 2009 Report Posted June 11, 2009 Dickwads. Though I will say their coverage is great out here in my part of the Boston 'burbs. Still, can't wait for their exclusive to expire -- if only to put some competitive pressure on plan pricing.
