It very likely crashed. unfortunately unless you have a dev license, or hacked your phone, you have no way to access the crash logs that I'm aware of (maybe you can browse through finder?)

11/19/2008 11:51:53 PM

anyone can download the SDK and launch the xcode explorer to look at the console logs

just plug up your iphone while you have xcode up, it'll ask you if you'd like to use it for development

you only need a dev license/certs if you plan on pushing apps to your phone

11/20/2008 12:05:31 AM

is there any way to change the ui theme without jailbreaking the iphone?

11/20/2008 10:28:34 PM

nope

11/20/2008 10:30:27 PM

2.2 Firmware just came out.

11/21/2008 1:14:13 AM

^ yeah that was out of the blue

11/21/2008 9:39:19 AM

2.2 is awesome!

Maps + Street View work beautifully now.
Ability to access and purchase music and pod casts via WiFi and now 3G!
Turn auto-correct on and off

11/21/2008 2:25:48 PM

so whats at&ts policy on replacements? say if i were to "lose" my current 3g, i assume it wouldnt be $200 for a new one right?

11/21/2008 2:27:11 PM

why would they let you get another one for that cost?

11/21/2008 2:50:56 PM

might be a n00b question, but I'm a n00b when it comes to this sort of thing soo

I made my own ringtones without buying them by manipulating the file types in itunes... could downloading the new firmware make these not work? or would that method of making ringtones be prevented in an itunes update instead?

11/21/2008 3:02:38 PM

i think you'll be fine

11/21/2008 3:11:33 PM

the street view is freaking BAD ASS

11/21/2008 3:33:45 PM

Is this on ipod touch too?

you buy a new one at full price.

IF you didn't lose it but you broke it with misuse then you get a new one at a discounted price. unless the apple genius was just being nice. But thats what they did for me when I had dropped it and shattered the screen.

11/21/2008 4:39:22 PM

^^No, the Touch didn't get street view.

11/21/2008 8:30:34 PM

has the update been released for the touch yet? I thought they run a bit behind usually

11/22/2008 10:32:03 PM

Yeah, 2.2 is out for the touch. It came out at the same time or very soon after the iPhone version.

11/22/2008 11:35:11 PM

waiting for teh jailbreak

11/22/2008 11:50:30 PM

for what? 2.2 for the iphone? It's out now, man.

11/22/2008 11:58:22 PM

^iPod Touch 2g i believe.

11/23/2008 1:22:43 AM

the podcast streaming thing is pretty nice. i might actually start listening to podcasts again. anybody got some good ones?

11/23/2008 1:57:06 AM

I just got my iPhone today and have been really digging the How Stuff Works podcast. I'd highly recommend the one about the CIA and LSD, for starters.

haha, right after i posted that, i saw the tweet from the iphone dev team saying they had released it

yay

11/23/2008 2:19:20 AM

For podcasts I have liked the following

-Leo Laporte TWIT
-Remember when
-Diggnation
-Hardcore History
-Bill Maher's audio podcast of his show

11/24/2008 1:23:51 AM

how do i turn on the Street View? I installed the update last night, all the other changes came through allright, but I can not find a way to see the street view. apple help does not help very much

11/24/2008 8:30:21 AM

do you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch?

if an iPhone: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=iphone+%22using+street+view%22
if an iPod Touch: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=ipod+touch+%22street+view%22

choose wisely

11/24/2008 8:59:15 AM

iPhone 3G

n00bd all over myslef . i did google all sorts of combinations of street view and iphone, didnt come up with anything useful. Quotations marks make all the difference.

not as intuitive as the rest of the Maps

Thanks!

Anybody subscribe to MobileMe?

I have used the trial for the last 60 days, but I just can't see paying for it. I like the instant sync of contacts and calendars, but I wish I could improve the email function of it more.

11/24/2008 10:12:14 AM

no

if you have exchange sync, it's basically useless

11/24/2008 10:33:13 AM

I use mobileme and I love it...I also use exchange for work.

Anyone else notice that Safari is extremely stable and quick? wow...HUGE difference then pre-2.2 although I don't know how i feel about the address bar.

11/24/2008 11:02:39 AM

it doesnt look as good but i like how it works

11/24/2008 11:45:43 AM

KillExchangeLock doesn't work in 2.2

Quote :

" Passcode Lock CVE-ID: CVE-2008-4229 Available for: iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.1, iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.1 Impact: Restoring a device from backup may not re-enable the Passcode Lock Description: The Passcode Lock feature is designed to prevent applications from being launched unless the correct passcode is entered. A race condition in the handling of device settings may cause the Passcode Lock to be removed when the device is restored from backup. This may allow a person with physical access to the device to launch applications without the passcode. This update addresses the issue by improving the system's ability to recognize missing preferences. This issue does not affect systems prior to iPhone OS 2.0 or iPhone OS for iPod touch 2.0. Credit to Nolen Scaife for reporting this issue."

i have a feeling this has something to do with it

11/24/2008 12:50:21 PM

Wow i didn't know the 2g ipod touch was faster than the 3g iphone. 532 cpu versus the iphones underclocked 412.

Still cant sync my phoneeeeeeeeeeeee


I picked up the phone yesterday and all the icons were dancing. WTF??

11/25/2008 2:13:18 PM

You have it icon sorting mode. Though I can't see that keeping you from syncing.

11/25/2008 2:26:21 PM

http://iphonefreakz.com/2008/10/27/cydia-sbsettings/

one of the most useful apps and one of the best reasons to jailbreak your phone, i've literally used it 4-5 times every day since i've installed it. it's especially nice to see the IP your phone pulled from DHCP without navigating all the way through the settings app.

this app is awesome.

Quote :

"SBSettings is a BossPrefs replacement available in Cydia via the BigBoss source. It is a simple app and it doesn’t add an icon to the springboard. All you have to do is swipe the status bar and a box will slide down the screen with info about your iPhone and also thing in which you want to toggle. More info and screenshots inside. When you swipe the status bar and the box appears you can toggle things like * 3G (if you have and iPhone 3G) * Bluetooth * EDGE * Phone * SSH * Wi-Fi You can also respring and power off. The box that appears also shows information like your iPhone’s name, WiFi IP Address, Data IP Address and HDD Free space. You can edit the toggles available by tapping ‘More’ and then tapping ‘View Toggles’. Once in here all you have to do is move the switches to on or off. Then press the home button and it will respring and then the next time you swipe the status bar the new toggles will be there. If you have more than 4 turned on they will go onto a new row. You can also hide icons using SBSettings. All you have to do is swipe the status bar, tap more, tap hide icons and then you just flick the switches. There are also Extras avaiable like in BossPrefs. Just swipe, tap more, tap Extras and then you have the option to: * Fix User Dir Permissions * Enable/Disable Numeric Battery * Enable/Disable Apple App Killswitch You can access the toggles while running other app just by swiping the status bar and it will appear not affecting the app you are running. To close SBSettings just tap the ‘x’ in the top left."

11/25/2008 10:09:01 PM

Wow, that's a really great BossPrefs replacement. I read where some people were having battery issues on 1st gen iPhones when using it, but as long as that doesn't happen to me, I'm sold.

thx evan.

11/26/2008 3:05:44 PM

holy fuck that's a nice app. i'd gladly pay for that

So what fancy shit should I do with my new fancy jailbroken iPhone? I mean, aside from installing Chamillionaire ringtones.

11/28/2008 11:38:30 PM

So i'm going on my 3rd iPod Touch today (bought the first one right after the 2nd gen came out). Dust keeps getting under the screen and i'll have little white dots behind and the glass and it's really annoying. They just replace them without question so i might as well keep getting new ones. Has anyone else had this issue? Maybe i'm just too OSD but i can't stand dust i can't get off.

12/1/2008 1:00:45 AM

Let us know how that goes.


What is mobileme?

Trying to sync again, downloading newer version of iTunes at the moment.

OK still wont sync. Anyone ever had this issue?

FYI the 2.2 update downloaded and installed fine.

anymore detail than that? what error?

12/2/2008 11:07:55 AM

No error, it pops up, says its syncing, then after a couple seconds acts like its finished but nothing is ever transferred.
