The iOS4 screen is indeed crisper than its legacy counterpart. Take a look at this 600 by 386 pixels look at the Maps icon. Unbelievable.

It will be interesting to see how much clearer the iPad screen will look when iOS4 comes in the fall."

haha i love that my AT&T cell phone bill is only $38 with unlimited data and text plans, and I'm selling my 3gs for $300 (could get more on ebay) and buying iPhone 4 for $199.

alright, to satisfy my worries, I'm going to ask another n00b question:

right now (today), let's assume I:

1. try to restore to 3.1.3
2. try to run Spirit to jb

will I have problems? Is Apple going to force me to upgrade to iOS4?

I really want to get to an untethered jb and I've just been too busy/a bit sketchy to do it earlier

You said you had your 3.1.3 SHSH blob on file with Saurik, so you'll always be able to downgrade/restore to 3.1.3.

After a quick flight over from China via Hong Kong and Alaska, my package left Indianapolis at 6:00 pm today (Tuesday) but according to the e-mail I got from Apple it'll be here tomorrow (Wednesday).......believe that when I see it, as of right now it's still en route to wherever it's headed from Indianapolis

For anyone else who received the e-mail from Apple saying to ignore the Fedex delivery date that your phone would actually arrive on the 23rd, where is your package right now?

Mine were in Greensboro at 6pm. Wish I could have gone to pick them up.

Actually, I'm lying, one just arrived in Indianapolis at 1:05 am and one is still in China. All three were ordered at the same time. I'm not even gonna try to figure this shit out.

For some reason I had to have mine shipped to the store. The two that have shipped have a scheduled delivery date of the 23rd at 3pm.

^ x 7


Sorry, just had to confirm again. I'm such a n00b.

and somewhere ^^^^^ up there... I understand, from what El Nacho says, tht Spirit is a 3.1.3 jailbreak. Hencei personally plan to restore to 3.1.3 today and then re-jb using Spirit; tired of a tethered jailbreak.

^^ OK somewhere I fscked up.

I just did a restore through iTunes (there's my error?) and got iOS4

and yes, my hosts file was - to all appearances - properly modified. and Cydia said I had SHSH blobs on file for 3.1.2. and 3.1.3

anyway, then just said "fsck it, I'll use Pwnage Tool to jailbreak iOS4 and then unlock it when it's possible to do so later on"

thank god I don't have to visit the U.S. this summer

I got the email from Apple saying my phone would arrive today. According to FedEx it was in Memphis at 4:38am. Not sure that bodes well with them getting it out on a truck today in Raleigh, but we'll see. I know Memphis is their flight hub, but do they ever load the trucks twice in a day?

just curious, did anyone's "estimated delivery date" change or did you just watch the tracking info? my tracking still says "departed memphis at 418am" and nothing after that.

all I can say is dammmit.

I tried like hell to restore my phone to 3.1.3 kept getting the 1015 error, and despite searching hi and low, haven't found a solution. I got a version of QuickPwn22 which didn't recognize the iPhone so it's like... what?

argh.... back to iOS 4 for the moment. Not liking it much.

"This is a big one for many people, and we have some fairly surprising news to report. The battery life on the iPhone 4 has been outstanding thus far, exceeding our expectations for longevity during testing. We've only had a short time to use the phone, but in the week or so we've been carrying the device as our main phone, we've had pretty amazing results under normal to heavy use. In fact, we managed to squeeze more than 38 hours -- yes, 38 hours -- of life out of a single charge using the phone as we normally would. We're talking calls, some gaming, lots of push email and calendar invites, playing music over Bluetooth in the car, and just general testing (like downloading new apps, rearranging icons, tweaking settings). We went from 10:30AM on a Saturday morning till 1:00AM on Monday without needing to charge the phone. "




Ok, where the fuck can I buy a white one?

btw, just as a followup. If you have been seeing no movement on your FedEx tracking data (like me), don't panic, as it seems that their tracking system is having issues today.

1) The screen really is amazing on this thing, videos online don't do it justice

2) Coming from a 3G this thing is crazy fast, everything is nearly instantaneous and the multitasking couldn't be smoother

3) It's harder to hold on to without the curved back, you really have to grip the edges or it slides out of your hand. For the same reason I'm also finding it a little harder to two thumb type on.

4) I hope it's just something not related to the phone but I keep losing signal and having a weak signal in places where it has always been full strength on my 3G. Like for example, right now I'm alternating between no service and one bar sitting in my den, it's always been full strength or right below it on my 3G

One of my friends has it now. Sent me a link to a video made on it. Looks very good. Only gripe is that there can be a wavey effect when you pan around, but that can be expected. Otherwise high quality video.

I've only made a handful of calls since I got it this morning, they all went through fine. I've had AT&T for years I had it several years while it was still Cingular, had every iPhone since the original, and I could count the number of dropped calls I've had on one hand so even a few dropped calls would be a lot more than normal. What I don't get is that I've always had full signal in my house now I'm alternating between one bar and no service. I thought that the external antenna would help out signal strength if anything.

"“How it works is every 7 to 14 days We (Apple) and AT&T send a message to your iPhone that gathers some data from your iPhone without you knowing and we see what is running, baseband and firmware. We then send a following message. “There are optional updates for your iPhone, Would you like to install them now?” two options “Yes” or “Later”. Those are what would would call “OPTIONAL UPDATES” Now there are things called “MANDATORY UPDATES”. They tend to work the same way, grab data from the iPhones sends it to AT&T and us then back to your iPhone with the message, “Your iPhone (name of iphone) must be updated to the current AT&T standards to run”, your only option is to “Accept” Now you can try to work your way around it until you get the second mandatory message again “You must plug iPhone into iTunes and update” If you don’t do this you will then receive no Signal from the network anymore and your iPhone will potentially lock up with no signs of use until you update your iPhone via iTunes. You all agreed to this terms and condition when you installed iTunes 9.2 and then again once you updated to iOS4. With that being Said go ahead Try to unlock the iPhone it will only last 14 days max…”"

So this is weird but i've realized I only get poor signal when the phone is next to my computer, take the computer away and full signal comes back. Never had this issue before on previous iPhones. My laptop is using wifi on the same 802.11n network as my phone.

So you have the wifi on when this happens? Maybe it's something to do with the fancy new Antenna.
