How much is this update this time lol
Posted by masseur
its always free for iPhone and I believe that ipod touch users only pay for the major firmware revisions.

Hi,
looking for a quick answer but will search now..
My iPhone firmware is 3.13.
I don't think BlackRain works.
I want to Jailbreak and Unlock.
Any advice appreciated.

I came very close to getting an iphone 3GS on Orange yesterday but I got a laptop instead
I had the money as my dad gave me £1000 after he won £30,000 on the Lottery. Now have a Samsung Jet & nice Toshiba laptop although an iphone is still not out the question.

@ofiaich, sorry, there is no solution if you have already updated to 3.1.3 and even geohot who created blackra1n/blacksn0w and most previous jailbreak/unlock solutions isn't sure it will be possible any more
Posted by ofiaich
thanks masseur,
just did lots of searching! Found the same info.
It was jailbroken and then restored... big mistake !
Thanks for your reply..

Hi All,
I've used a SE MBS-100 bt speaker with both my iPhone and iPod touch and whilst it worked fine with both i was un able to control the volume. So I was just wondering if anyone had used any bt speakers with their iPhone and had been able to control the volume? I'm looking for a MBS-100 replacement ya see.
Thanks

iPhone Bluetooth does only allow play/pause and nothing else, and while paired with an audio device, the iPhone requires that the device has it's own volume control. For this reason I couldn't use my old SE HBH-DS200 with the iPhone, while my other headset, a Nokia BH-500, was OK.

@AbuBasim Cheers for the info.. Guess i will have to suffer lack of volume control then

Just bought and iphone 3gs 16gb! I'm super happy with it. I made the mistake of buying a milestone but luckily I'm away from the 'mess' that is android after I've sold it. iPhone all the way, the others don't compare.
Posted by Bonovox
I am still considering one now in a few days or so. I want the 16gig white one.
Posted by Burgaz
Do it! Wouldn't trade mine for anything!
Although I was tempted by android a few weeks ago.

anyone who hasn't got the tomtom western europe yet... its on sale at £52.99 which is cheaper than the current price for UK & Ireland which is still £59.99

I'm usually labelled an iPhone fanboy around here... and it's a fair enough comment. My (now old) iPhone 3G is the best phone I ever had, and I wouldn't swap it for anything other than another iPhone. Even now - two months away from my contract being up - I've no plans to change it at all, and struggle to justify signing up to another contract to upgrade TBH.
I'll certainly be keeping it until the next one is out, and who knows, I might still keep it even then. And that is NOT like me at all!

Hi everyone. I am just looking for some advice regarding jailbreaking. Normally I am quite comfortable with this but due to apple no longer signing 3.1.2 I need to be sure of this process. Basically I have a 3gs with the old boot rom which is currently jailbroken via blackra1n and unlocked. However cydia is no longer launching and all my free memory has bee n used up from tryingto install a game.( it kept being unpacked but never installed properly). Because of this and just to clear up m phone for optimum performance I want to restore my phone and then re jailbreak. I know my shsh is stored on cydia for 3.1.2 so I should be able to restore to 3.1.2 but I am unsure of this process could anyone details exactly how I should do this. ( I may have already changed the location that iTunes checks for
approval to sauriks servers but I am not sure so would like this detailed if you know how)
thanks very much for any help u can provide. I just don't want to tak any risks as I accidentally restored to 3.1.2 previosly before blackra1n was available and couldn't use my phone for nearly a month
Posted by thomas93
My 3G has unactivated itself, I really rather not restore it, as it is jailbroken with too many play counts, notes, texts, calls, calendar entries and apps on it!
Any ideas?

Is it me or has the bing application been removed from
the app store? I can't find it.

@masseur, thanks for the update i have been debating tomtom.
Posted by adnansanni
Why my iPhone and iPod touch change time to 1 hour ahead when I connect to my macbook pro? Anybody has idea or have the same problem?
Posted by Mr Miyagi
anyone bought the tomtom carkit for the Iphone? How do they find it? Do you recommend it? Is the tomtom app any good? Are they both worth the price?
Posted by masseur
yeah, I have the car kit and it works fairly well, but its not worth the money given that its £100 and doesn't even include the app.
The app is worth the price, especially at the moment when western europe is reduced to £52.99
There's a new version of the app (1.3) about to come out too which includes real-time traffic speed and incident reports for more accurate routing and travel time estimates as well as a local search feature
Posted by Mr Miyagi
masseur would you recommend a standalone device instead? one of the reasons i was looking at this, was the ability to automatically answer calls when it comes through, is that feature any good?
Posted by masseur
a dedicated GPS will certainly offer more features. The iPhone app will receive calls perfectly but currently you can only place calls to numbers associated with POIs. If you want to call a contact or other number you have to exit the app.
Posted by Mr Miyagi
Thanks Masseur. I think I will give it a miss then.
Posted by masseur
TomTom 1.3 is now available for download
however, the UK HD traffic feature is fairly costly! (its also not available at all in my Australian map version)

Could anyone recommend a small speaker dock for use with iPhone? I'm only after a cheap one that doesn't have to be loud just reasonable quality sound! On a budget of £20-£50.
I was going to stretch to £60 for the JBL on stage III from Argos but have found out that only the on stage IIIp has mobile interference shielding
and that retails at around £100.
Thanks

One of theses?
I bought on of these for £46 from Costco last week,
It's not the best and isn't iPhone compatible, but I have found the betterer ones that are iPhone compatible are over £150, and seeing as this will still playback music from the iPhone with the occasional du duh du du duh duh du du duh du du du duh duh and has a DAB radio it will do me until I win the Lottery.......

I've been looking for a dock too.
I've got the one that Nanu showed, its not powered but does increase the sound output of the iphone by 10db. For me the quality and loudness is just not good enough so its gathering dust in my drawer
Posted by Nanu
Can anyone else confirm this......
When playing music back through the phone speakers if I put my finger over the left grill at the bottom it quietens the sound, whereas if I do the same for the one on the right nothing happens, or am I being daft and the right grill is the microphone?
@Masseur I'll send you a SAE if that dock is just gathering dust.....
Posted by masseur
yes, the left is speaker, the right is microphone
no need for SAE, just PM your address
here's a quick pic, it has the ipod and iphone adaptor
Posted by Burgaz
Yeah those griffin air thingies aren't the best! I tried one in the o2 shop the other day... Hmmm... So do I bite the bullet and get the jbl one from Argos?
Posted by Nanu
Can anyone recommend a decent set of headphones with inline mic, volume, play pause and skip control?
Posted by Burgaz
I bought myself a vestalife Ladybug II speaker dock today. iPhone compatible and everything only £39.99 in store in HMV's sale. Play are selling them for £69.99. Pretty happy with it so far!

Guys I want to add contact persons pic with the contact list. But I'm not sure whice resulation size will be best for that. Do u have any idea?
Posted by Burgaz
The iPhone resizes all photos that are loaded on to it to a much smaller size than they would be on your pc, you then have the option to crop them on your iPhone as you select the pic for a contact pic. No need to resize before loading the pic on to your phone. Hope that helps.
Can anyone recommend a good iPhone forum? I'm not interested in Jailbreaking, just would like a site/forum with info on the iPhone, app reviews, os update info and the like.
Cheers

http://www.tuaw.com is pretty good, has app reviews etc, but its more of an all things Apple site than just iPhone related.

@Superluminova
Sounds good! Will check it out shortly.

I am now in receipt of said item and I must say I am a little disappointed, I cannot believe you cleaned the dust off it, as it was the dust I was most interested in to add to the rest on my desk.
However upon reflection I am very happy with the dock itself and I am very grateful.

Bose can get the ol' air thing working just fine, why can't anyone else?

I dont think those lil iPod docks sound v.good! I spent £169.99 on a Panasonic mini hifi with dab, and cd and ipod dock sounds amazing with my iPod touch!

Hi everyone!
a young friend is interested in the iPhone, and she leaves England in June and comes back in August.
I think new iPhone models are released in June? I do not think though, she can use easily in Japan with a Japanese sim, and roaming has become expensive for Japan again.
I guess my best advice is - wait till she returns in August, and rent a phone from Narita Airport, or borrow a phone!
Not sure what improves are expected over the current best iPhone. Double the memory and.....?
Opinions welcomed!
