I knew there were alternative apps. Noen is all about some bing now.

6/23/2009 5:35:43 PM

whats the deal with this?

6/23/2009 5:38:57 PM

^I don't see what you mean? Its a screenshot?

6/23/2009 5:39:33 PM

My battery doesn't have the percent next to it.

6/23/2009 5:42:16 PM

^ settings -> general -> usage -> battery percentage = on

^^^Adding a second screenshot doesn't help your post. What do you mean "Whats the deal with this?"

I don't have that option

[Edited on June 23, 2009 at 5:45 PM. Reason : It's called tethering. What's your point? ]

6/23/2009 5:44:46 PM

^I'm not sure if he's trying to say:

"Hey guys, look at me...I read TWW tech talk and clicked on the link posted in the iPhone thread via my iPhone to enable tethering on my iPhone"...

but in a smart ass way...

or if he's just stumbled upon those screenshots online and is wondering how he doesn't have that on his phone too...

6/23/2009 5:47:31 PM

I think he's wondering why that option is there on his phone. I thought it was announced AT&T wasn't supporting tethering.

which is what prompted my question. i saw the screenshots and assumed it was for other networks...but then say AT&T in the corner. maybe this is the answer...http://www.modmyi.com/forums/iphone-news/633111-easily-enable-tethering-3-0-via-iphone-safari.html


lol at gloveko trying to troll

6/23/2009 6:37:08 PM

I know that option was there in all the betas and stayed in the final release even tho mms finally went away

And it works great. Used it all wknd last wknd

6/23/2009 6:48:00 PM

^ and ^^ last page or page before that has all the info you need to re-enable tethering on your phone in a very quick and easy way.

And next time you want to ask a question about something don't post a pic and say "What am i thinking guys?"

6/23/2009 6:54:34 PM

How? If it's through and ipsc file or whatever the extension is the last time I did ghat it screwed up my voicemail. No thanks.

6/23/2009 7:04:06 PM

if I enable tethering am I going to get his with a crazy fee on my bill? that's what I'm worried about.

6/23/2009 7:05:23 PM

No. But don't abuse it.

6/23/2009 7:07:50 PM

^^thats the only unknown

^^^OS 3.0 added profiles (at least I think it wasn't there in 2.x.x

basiclly when you click on this http://help.benm.at/help.php using your iPhone...you select the option to create an AT&T profile which basically just adds the AT&T settings for tethering.

It doesn't hurt anything else on your phone except maybe your bill if you use it a lot...but no one knows if that will even happen.

sweet .. just got my tethering rolling ... awesome hack

6/23/2009 11:16:37 PM

where can i get the AT&T Carrier 5.0 profile via the web? so i can d/l and install it from within safari.

I trid the benmhelp tethering trick, but it didnt work. It gave me a "Set Up Internet Tethering" option in Settings/General/Network, but if i click it it says to contact AT&T... strange

6/23/2009 11:33:56 PM

^are you sure you used the right method (there are several different profiles on that link)? Thats how i enabled mine yesterday and it worked like a charm.

6/23/2009 11:35:21 PM

Is there a way to sync up with all of the calendars associated with my gmail account? I used google's caldav info, along with my userid and password to try and sync my phone up, but only entries created by the actual gmail calendar show up. Any entries added by other calendars, either created by me under my account or public ones created by friends, don't show up.

6/23/2009 11:37:58 PM

AIM with Push support is now live on the App Store.

Today is a wonderful day.

6/23/2009 11:54:06 PM

^^^well, i picked the premade option, USA, AT&T, and there was only one.

i don't feel like looking up the settings and all that crap to make a custom one. what'd you do?

6/24/2009 12:04:01 AM

too bad everyone I know switched to Yahoo messenger a decade ago and maybe 2 people use AIM

6/24/2009 12:07:34 AM

Is anyone having visual voicemail issues after enabling the tethering hack?

6/24/2009 8:09:54 AM

seems like everybody. try doing a Reset/Network settings. i hear that fixes it, buti havent' tried yet

6/24/2009 8:27:29 AM

yeah.. had the same issue a long time ago when i enabled MMS.

not sure why but tethering has always been an option on mine (as long as I've had 3.0 I mean)

Airmouse looks cool. Installed it..

Getting this error tho

Ooops. An error has occured connecting to Truphone.

This is probably a lost connection. The best advice is to re-start the application using the home button and try again.

If the problem persists, please email support@truphone.com. We will do our best to help.

ok airmouse is fucking awesome. pretty useless in the accelerometer mode but awesome in the other mode.

All I did was click on the Tethering AT&T profile to download it. Enabled it under settings -> general -> profile. and then rebooted the phone. Works perfectly well for me and I don't have visual voicemail issues either.

I feel like such a sucker. I preordered on Friday and the salesman told me mine would arrive in the next shipment. Well, I assumed that meant "next box of phones to arrive", instead of "next box to ship". Now I have an iPhone "reserved" somewhere, expected to arrive in 7-14 days, while the store gets new phones every day. They refuse to give me one of the phones in stock because "thats not how pre-ordering works". What a fucking crock

Bill Nye Explains: The iPhone 3GS's Oleophobic Screen
http://gizmodo.com/5302097/giz-bill-nye-explains-the-iphone-3gss-oleophobic-screen

Quote :

"The new 3GS iPhone has a coating that helps you leave no, well hardly any, prints–-fingerprints. The glass screen is coated with a polymer, a plastic that human skin oil doesn't adhere to very well. People in the chemical bonding business like to call the finished surface "oleophobic.""

Nifty. Wonder how long before we see this technique used in many more devices. Or is it already and we just don't hear about it?

6/24/2009 4:30:44 PM

^^can't you cancel your pre-order...or buy one now and when the pre-order comes in return it unopened with a big FU.


^thats really cool.

[Edited on June 24, 2009 at 4:32 PM. Reason : .]

6/24/2009 4:31:20 PM

^^

i've heard people are seeing scratches in the oleophobic coating (which appears to look like scratches on the screen)

hopes thats not true.....my 3Gs screen looks fantastic still, even after a year.

I noticed today you can hold click on a link and open it in a new window. It's about damn time. Dunno if that's a 3.0 feature or 3GS exclusive. I would assume 3.0, but there's been a lot of weird little things that should be available on the regular 3G that aren't (like the battery percentage for example).

6/24/2009 7:08:19 PM

^thats been there for a while. (the hold and click)

wait what?

I still went ahead and got a screen protector. I don't like the invisible shields because they blur/distort the screen. Just went with static type you can pick up at the apple store. You can't even tell there's a protector on it unless you find the edges of it.

6/24/2009 8:20:15 PM

^^If it has been there forever, then it must be a 3G exclusive feature because my first gen running 2.2.1 doesn't do it.

6/24/2009 8:43:04 PM

"wait what? "

what about it? my 3G is a year old as well.. 0 scratches. never used any type of cover or whatever on it at all

Ok i'm pissed. This is really annoying.

So under device (iphone) there's the summary tab. I had originally checked the "manually manage music and videos" because i have more music than can fit on my iphone.

So i go into the "video" tab and check "sync movies" because i want to sync a single movie i had on there. So i check sync, and check the movie. Then i sync it and i realize it's taking FOREVER.

Well i find out it's because if you check the sync box under videos to sync a single movie it automatically un-checks the "manually manage music and videos" box under summary, hence deleting all 20 gigs of music i had on my iphone.

This is a bug, or just annoying. Now i have to manually go back in and select all my music i want to put back on my iPhone.

There should at least be a warning saying, if you check "sync videos" it'll delete all your music.

^sorry reading too fast. The lack of the " ' " made me think 3gs. Long day.

err...i think I'm just confused because it seems like i've had 3.0 forever... but yeah... it's definitely in 3.0 on all platforms.

anyone noticed this on fw 3.0 (or maybe it's 3GS specific)?

When you click the headphones to pause the ipod, it used to go into standby (you could hear the faint click) after a few minutes unless you started the audio back up. Once it had shut off like this, you had to turn the screen on to get the audio started again.

Now, it doesn't seem to ever really go into this 'standby' mode. I've tried sitting there on pause for a few minutes, but no matter how long I wait a single click on the headphones brings the audio back.

It's kinda nice, but it also has me a little worried that the audio circuitry is draining my battery while it's paused. So if I put something on pause and forget about it, my battery would be draining the whole time until i do something else with the phone.

thoughts?
