Here you go my man...
I've sorted these in to separate stand-alone items, so there's no faffing about
One for the 3D StatusBar battery and one for the 3D lockscreen charging battery.

Yes i've just tested it by turning my 3g off, and i'm not in an EDGE area... just getting GPRS (WAP) connection, and my BeeJiveIM is working fine

This is a good news
Just try to give me some points the nokia 5800 can't do while iphone can and I will switch to iphone
I hope ibluetooth will not take ages before being released,it's so fun to send and receive tunes and pics from a phone to another
What make me not like the 5800 is its screen at direct sunlight,it's still visible but games and apps are no more enjoyable

Meh, posted this before in another thread.
I use the Griffin Elan Form Black case, it's nice and easy in the hand and to hold. I recommend it to anybody who want's a leather case.
I'm trying to get Eclectic Clock and SlideWidget both running at the same time, but it's quite hard actually Lol.

Hi everyone!
My friend wants an iPhone..... is it better for her to wait for next month?
I know everything for now is rumours.. but some comments might have more truth than others...
She can buy a cheap pay and go if she waits.. but she is impatient.
Ofiaich ...
Posted by RyaN
Ofiaich, It's a tough one! Patience is a virtue
It's difficult to tell whether there will be much worth-while improvement in the latest yet-to-be announced iPhone, however it's mainly going to operate the same... OS 3.0 obviously will give the current 3G some much needed improvements. It's a shame they havent started to sell the 3G's off cheaply yet. Personally i know i would regret it if i got the iPhone now and then the new model came out 2 months down the line - but thats just me!
Posted by Boinng
I would wait, personally. It's quite possible that a new and improved model will land in shops in June. There will most likely be an announcement on or around 8th June and Apple usually turn things around very quickly, it's not like SE where they announce something in February and it hits the shops in December.
As good as the 3G is, and as nice as the OS3.0 features we know about are, I suspect the newer phone will probably be worth waiting for. It's bound to have a better camera with video, and there may well be a few other surprises.
More importantly, they really don't appear to be lowering the price of the 3G at all, so it's not like there's a great deal to miss out on right now. If they slash the price or contract commitment or whatever at the start of June then maybe think again, but otherwise wait and see, you'd be gutted to pay full price for a 3G and then have the 4G (or whatever they're going to call it) replace it on the exact same tarrif a few weeks later.

thanks RyaN and Boinng!
Interesting points! Thanks !
I`ll suggest to her to wait! June not so far away!

I am due on upgrade on o2, Since 17th of this month and I've been thinking about exactly the same thing whether I should get the 3g or not. Im currently using the 2g without the data tariff so I really do need the 3g for Internet on the move but I guess I'm gonna wait till apple makes it clear in June. The contracts nowadays are two long to be going ahead without a careful thought 18 months have now been stretched to 24 months and 2 Years using a same phone is a lot of time!!
I might just even go for the N97 if It releases an earlier than the new iphone.
Posted by Boinng
The latest rumour is the new phone will be in shops on July 17th following an announcement on June 8th. Randomn (possibly made up) specs include an OLED screen, rubberised back, twice the memory, better battery, 3.2mp camera with video recording and editing, and a "light-up" Apple logo on the back that doubles as a flash.

Where did you get this information from?
Thanks

Posted by Boinng
Try here - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/05/20/rubber_iphone_rumor/ - it could all be nonsense, but that's the fun of pre-release rumours really. Seems pretty credible to me.
Posted by masseur
...and that would be near enough exactly one year after the 3G launched
shame we're in 18 month contracts... not that that ever stopped me for somethig I wanted!
Posted by Boinng
Yup - I'll be exactly halfway through my 18mths in June, so can't afford to race to the shops just yet. That's the downside of the 3G's success for Apple really, a large chunk of the most enthusiastic, ready-made market for their new phone will still be chained to the old one for months! Look out for stories of "disappointing" uptake in the first six months and the new iPhone being outsold by the Pre, etc..
I keep telling myself, with the 3.0 OS update, my old 3G will be like a new iPhone...
Posted by SE-Naz
@Boinng
Thanks for that...
Thankfully I am not in contract... so once it released will check it out and make a decision...
Cheers

They could have at least put in a 5 mega pixel camera
Posted by Boinng
The existing 2mp camera was already outdated when the original iPhone came out, and even more so last year in the 3G - it's obvious Apple aren't taking part in the megapixel race. It's also obvious that with these tiny sensors, and the kind of optics that you can squeeze into the back of a slim smartphone, higher pixellages don't necessarily mean better quality.
If the rumours are true and this is phone's going to be more video-centric, with iMovie video editing on the device itself, it's probably wise of them to keep things sensible in the sensor department anyway - and save the "HD" model for next year.
Posted by Bonovox
I remember playing with the iphone in an O2 store and the camera when in view finder was so wobbly lol

Totally agree with this point. Some people can get lost in the whole mega-pixel jargon and feel like they MUST have an amazing camera on their mobile and if the next iPhone doesnt have a gazillion mega-pixels then it's gonna be crap. The iPhone has never been an image-centric device... it's a topic that gets brought up over and over again, but the iPhone cam is what it is and it does what it does.. point n shoot n email. Done. You dont 'need' a 5mpx / 8mpx cam to get your point across that 'I'm here...look'. Personally i'd be happy with a 3.2mpx on the next iPhone
Posted by Boinng
The iPhone's camera has never been a stunner, it's not pretending to be anything more than essentially a webcam on the back of the phone. Even so, it works well for what it is.
My last phone was the HTC Tytn II, it was touted as a bit of a sharp-shooter at the time and came with a 3.2mp sensor with autofocus. In a really good light it produced reasonable pictures, provided the inside of the battery cover (and thereby the camera lens cover) wasn't full of dust, which it usually was. In anything less than perfect light, the viewfinder become a horribly laggy, slowmotion blur that made any kind of composition completely impossible.
In practice, although I wouldn't say any of them were technical masterpieces, I've probably taken far more/better pictures with the dust free, non-laggy iPhone camera than the HTC's. And I can't say fairer than that.

What i would like implemented is at least some options in the camera, digital zoom is something that i think was put in an app via the app store iirc, no reason why this cant be put in. Auto-focus would also be handy. But then i guess if it's kept simple then people wont be expecting much from it.
Posted by Boinng
I expect autofocus will make it into the next one.. don't know about the other options, I suppose a good selection of the apps which drove the appstore to success over the last year were to do with providing those sorts of extra options, effects, and enhancements, so maybe Apple won't want to be treading on too many toes there. That said, they're bound to extend it a bit if they're adding video recording.
Posted by RyaN
lol yeah... to a certain extent I don't think Apple care too much about treading on toes when it comes to apps that extend stock apps functionality, they probably see it as more of a way of letting Dev's do the hard work and then they implement it in to their own apps. Like a lot of the voice recording apps will be redundant as soon as OS3.0 is introduced.
Is OS3.0 going to be released when iPhone V3 is announced in June do you reckon, or will it be in-line with iPhone V3's release?
Posted by Boinng
I'm not sure but I think the 2.0 update was available to older iPhones and iPods before the 3G was released, so I guess it will be the same this time around? Hope so, anyway!
The only downside to 3.0 is the fact we'll be back to a .0 release so can expect a few bugs for a while... roll on 3.1 and 3.2!
Posted by RyaN
I hope so too - cos that means it could potentially be only a couple of weeks away! That said, they're on beta5 of OS3.0 now and last time with OS2.0 there was about 10+ betas before the release... but i guess that could have had something to do with the implementation of the App Store etc.
And yeah, very true that mate... 2.2.1 is nice and stable and we'll be reverting to a firmware which is new and different and needs stuff ironing out. Cant wait though! Well in theory i can, but i dont to! Pleased also that OS3.0 has no signs of blocking the jailbreak, which i'll be doing straight away

Perhaps that'll come in beta's 6 thru 10! Seriously, if they did have some new jailbreak-spoiling tactic lined up, they'd be daft to reveal it too soon...
Posted by RyaN
Exactly why the dev team have not released an official jailbreak yet either - that, and the fact they dont want to be updating the software for every beta release! As much as Apple condone jailbreaking and have even gone as far as to try and push legal action against it, with each major FW update people see less and less need to jailbreak. It happened with 2.0, and it'll happen again with 3.0. I just personally couldnt live without themeing and modding, i prefer to be able to customize the look and feel of my iPhone
Posted by weirdwilli
Does anyone have a nice theme they would recommend to me?
I had the Iron Man one on my iPod Touch for a while but then got myself an iPhone and after a quick scout I still haven't found one I like.
Posted by RyaN
@Weirdwilli Where've you been looking, just in Cydia? It's just that some of the latest and greatest themes arent on there yet... Macthemes.net is the place you wanna go. Theme i'm currently using is called Faust, i'm digging the smaller icons atm. Other recommendations are Round 2, Teneo, Neco, An'n'Me, Smoog, and if you do like the smaller icons also try Matte Nano.
Most of these themes are assuming you are comfortable with dragging and dropping them in your Themes folder either using SSH or via USB with something like iFunBox
Let me know if that all confused you!!

haven't played for a few days but had two goes this afternoon and...

Are you using the "force" Masseur??? I top out at 73
Posted by bavlondon2
Do you think Apple will allow these themes you can only access via jailbreak on the new firmware?
Posted by RyaN
@bav Nope i highly doubt it
@masseur omg
i struggle to get close to my 94 high score when i play. Thats just nuts!
Posted by bavlondon2
@ Ryan. That sucks!!! lol
Ive not tried that flight game but may give it a go.
Anyone tried Champ Manager yet? It is the worst port ever!!! Looks more like a shoddy S60 version. What a waste of money.
[ This Message was edited by: bavlondon2 on 2009-05-25 13:53 ]
Posted by RyaN
Yep, Apple not allowing themeing does suck. Thank god for jailbreak
You should definitely give Flight Control a try... excellent little game and addictive
I read the reviews in the App Store for champ manager and everyone else was saying exactly the same. Isnt it like £6 or something too? What a rip-off if it isnt that good
Posted by bavlondon2
It was £3.50 when I bought it. Might have gone up now. Anyway I hear EA is working on a port for Fifa which should be cool!!!! Although a Pro Evo would of course be better. lol

Hi guys.
tried installing MochaVNC to my iPhone 1G and it says app is not compatiable.
Any reason why this is?
Thanks
Posted by RyaN
@thomas Are you running 2.2 or later?
Posted by Ace Mccloud
i really want to get an iphone, but i just cant decide on the whole waitiing or signing up now for 24 months.....
Posted by RyaN
I'd definitely wait until the new one is released, it'll hopefully be announced a week on Tuesday.
Posted by thomas93
Never thought of that 2.1 currently, not sure updating an unlocked and jailbroken one is easy with out losing anything atall?
Posted by Ace Mccloud
im wondering if there will even be a new iphone released. ive read so many different 'reputable sourced' specs that im doubting any of its credibility.
i think im going to wait for the apple conference, sure. but if they release a new iphone, i doubt it will be free on the tariff i want.
ah, decisions. never simple.
Posted by RyaN
I'm planning on taking my iPhone for it's long overdue swap at an Apple Store in London on Thurs (talked about in the other iPhone thread some time ago) Does anyone think i'll need to produce any kind of receipt, or will they be able to just log in to their systems and find me and see that it's a registered UK O2 iPhone?
Posted by masseur
when I had my replacement home delivered I didn't have to show any proof at all.
They just took my serial number over the phone, looked it up and got me to confirm my name and address.
I suppose the fact that it was delivered to my registered address is proof enough so you might just need to show some ID to confirm you are the rightful owner
