Where do you get the CA app?? (I can't seem to find it in the App Store)
It's not an app, it's just a shortcut saved to the desktop.
I have the same icon on my phone. :tu

When my 3GS broke (end of June) I just walked into one of the local AT&T stores and picked up a 4 on June 29 or 30, right after they were released...

I've been really surprised to read about long waits that people are having to endure...

Honestly, none from me yet. :) No issues whatsoever. Not even the antenna issue, but then I've had a case on it from the time I got to the car after purchasing it. Loving the clarity of the screen, and the pictures have been great so far. As for dropped calls, not a single one yet. There are a few dead zones I drive through, but they were issues with my non-ATT phone previously.

AT&T does charge extra for tethering, which I don't understand as you've already paid for the data to begin with. However, if you do go the Jailbreak route there's an app called MyWi that does the trick :tu

Erick and I tried connecting last night.
I think it is his router/internet that is the issue.
He mentioned he has had problems before.
When he would try Facetime, it would leave the wifi signal and go to 3G.
Don't think that has to do with the phone.
Will see him later and will try again in person.

The only reason for the update was the security issue with .pdf. This was the issue that allowed the new iphones to be jailbroken.

iOS 4.0.2 Update for iPhone and iPod touch
FreeType

CVE-ID: CVE-2010-1797

Available for: iOS 2.0 through 4.0.1 for iPhone 3G and later, iOS 2.1 through 4.0 for iPod touch (2nd generation) and later

Impact: Viewing a PDF document with maliciously crafted embedded fonts may allow arbitrary code execution

Description: A stack buffer overflow exists in FreeType's handling of CFF opcodes. Viewing a PDF document with maliciously crafted embedded fonts may allow arbitrary code execution. This issue is addressed through improved bounds checking.

Tony,
Is that a hard case or soft as the Belkin?

While I don't think it will be an issue with the new iPhone due to the back being the same type of material as the screen, I still have nightmares of what my InCase did to my 3. Any dust that accumulated between the plastic and the phone acted as if abrasives and scratched and chipped the heck out of it.

I just got my iphone 4 on Monday. I was still rocking the original iphone, but it stopped being able to connect to the internet, which took out my voice mail. After exhausting all the possible fixes, they decided it was just a problem with the phone, which was, of course, out of warranty. I did some sweet talking, and got them to offer me 50% of an upgrade to the 16G 4! :banger

Ordered it Wednesday, it showed up Monday!. This thing is sweet! Such an improvement over the original.

I picked up a Griffin hard case while I wait for my free one.

The only negative is that the upgrade lost me my grandfathered unlimited data plan :td

The actual GPS itself won't, but by default you will be using data unless you are in a hotspot because it has to populate the map.

What's the proximity sensor issue? I'll take your case if you do decide to sell it.


From ZDNet

The proximity sensor in the iPhone 4 is what tells it how close the phone is to your face so that it can turn the touchscreen off while you’re making a phone call. This has the effect of a) saving battery power, and b) preventing inadvertent touches of the screen by your face.

The problem is that the proximity sensor in the iPhone 4 is on a hair trigger. It’s either not sensitive enough, miscalibrated or both.


I have had this issue happen to me. It is no reason to throw the new iphone away, but I will be happy when it is fixed.

Yardgnome
08-23-2010, 02:36 PM
It might be the way I hold the phone, but the sensor rarely works on mine, I end up muting people or facetimeing them at least once every 10 minutes.

I think most of the issue is in the new placement, on the older phones it is where the front camera is now, on IPhone4 it is above the speaker.

AD720
08-31-2010, 12:50 PM
To qualify for this program, you must purchase your iPhone 4 by September 30, 2010.

This is very interesting. What happens on Sept 30th? :tf

New hardware design - iPhone 4.5? :hm Or do they sell all manufactured stock and then that's it until iPhone 5...very interesting.

the next jb will be for 4.1. The smaller updates usually are skipped due to the time it takes to break the code.

There are pluses and minuses for both Myles. Almost the first year I had my 3GS I saw no reason to jailbreak. I really liked the UI and it did everything I needed it to do. Then when I decided I wanted my phone to do a little more I weighed the pro's and con's of jailbreaking and decided it was worth the risk.

Now I can't imagine having a non-jailbroken version of my iPhone 4. From Lockscreen cydgets to BiteSMS, tethering, SBSettings, Installous, Winterboard etc etc etc. I literally couldn't imagine my iPhone without them.

And i absolutely loved the day or so i had it jailbroken for, and considering everything i've read says there is little to no risk of bricking your phone, it seems like the "right" thing to do. The problem i had was that i had installed backgrounder, and some stop multitasking app that i forget the name of, that along with something else. I was trying to make it so that i could all together kill apps but keep them in the background if i wanted. Everytime i would go into sbsettings, ipod would be running even if i hadn't used it. If i killed the process, it would just be there a few seconds later again! This frustrated me and so i restored my phone. Now i'm thinking of jailbreaking but taking it slow and not going app-install-crazy. I don't know :)

Do it! Just in moderation that's all. This way you can try to pinpoint what app gives you issues, if any.

10-20-2010, 06:00 PM
Wait.... you had backgrounder running along side a stop multi-tasker at the same time? Wouldn't those two have problems running concurrently as one is always trying to do the opposite of the other?

Yeah maybe start out with the essential apps and then roll from there. Gizmodo put out something on a new multi-task managing app. I'll look it up and get back to you ;tu

I used Greenpois0n for my iPhone as well as Echo's. I JB a friends iPhone for them using Limera1n just because I wanted to see if there were any inherent differences.

I could see how that app would cause trouble with Backgrounder. They would just keep trying to cancel each other out.

10-20-2010, 06:27 PM
i suppose that makes sense, i guess i didn't fully understand what i was doing, i just downloaded them based on suggestions from a friend; maybe he didn't know what he was doing either.

Was there any difference in greepois0n vs limera1n, any reason to use one over another, or even alternative options? I'm going to light a nice cigar and get crackin on this soon :)

btw - is there an alternative chat anywhere that people are still using?

Install activator through cydia, it allows you to set things to button presses ie. Short hold on home button to activate camera.. Whatever you want, it's pretty sweet... Insomnia is another good one.. Forces your iPhone to stay on wifi when it's available.. Facebreak is cool, it allows you to use FaceTime over 3G... 3G unrestrictor is awesome if you wanna use apps that require wifi over 3G... There's tons of great stuff.. I know a thing or two about jailbreaking lol ;-)

Good job bro :tu

If you tether, I recommend MyWi (no rock version)
I also recommend BiteSMS for a much better SMS interface (think txting without leaving an app/game/etc)
Installous obviously ;)
Infiniboard or Infinidock
Intelliscreen
Activator

Those are my basics

goalie204
10-20-2010, 09:27 PM
Thanks for the suggestions gents. I don't see Installous when searching cydia, is it from an alternate source?

I have used Tethering with the unjailbreaked version of my phone, and i have 6gb per month data with my provider, what would MyWi do for me?

Turn Summerboard mode off. Oftentimes the new theme releases are programmed in Winterboard so when trying to use them in Summerboard mode it causes some issues. I had this issue once before with Echo's "Hello Kitty" theme. It fixed the problem :tu

Hmmmm ok...... first make sure that the specified theme is at the top of the list in Winterboard. Move it up past everything else. Then make sure that the specified theme doesn't have more than one component. I had the Pro 365 theme and it had like 10 things I had to check off or uncheck depending on how I wanted it to look. So check down at the bottom of the winterboard list just to make sure. If that fails... go into Cydia and try and re-install the theme itself.

Who is the programmer behind the theme?

Maybe someone can help. I hot the ielegnce them. In the screen shots, the calculator, the phone keypad the lock screen are all BadAss and my them has none of that. I can't seem to figure out what the deal is.

i just bought the pro one to see what you're talking about, in the screen shots - my calculator and dialer didn't look the same either.

Sadly, after some searching i found a thread, and the author said this theme wasnt made for the iphone 4, and he isn't sure if he's going to be updating it to work. He also goes on to say to get his theme ELITE HD or whatever. I'm not too keen on shelling out another couple bux after seeing this one fail after paying for it. Here is the thread and some of what he has to say if you want to read any:

http://modmyi.com/forums/iphone-2g-3g-3gs-ipod-touch-1g-2g-3g-new-skins-themes-launches/661811-ielegance-pro-145.html

The theme is not made for the iPhone 4..... I MAY make an iPhone 4 version at some point... Your best bet for now is to get "Elite PRO HD"

well, first i spent 2.49 on the theme we both bought. Then i think 1.99 on the Elite PRO theme, not realizing the one i actually wanted was Elite Pro HD - So i spent another 3.99 on that one, and got the Color Signal and Wifi bars package from Cydia (because i didn't like the default signal/wifi bars in this theme) (still not as much as the price of a good retail cuban cigar - so i ain't complaining lOL) :)

here are my lock screen and home screen. It also has really nice load screens, calculator, dialer, etc etc.

I have iFile but i can't seem to view a file outside of the stock documents and picture folders.

So I got fileviewer which let's me go down the tree starting with system folders but o no avail because I get the following error.

Sounds good Brother. That's the site you sent me to with the theme information.

Yes I paid 99 cents for iFile. I open it up and tere are only 4 folders to choose from with no way of getting system files, even thru the search feature.

I usually have to charge mine 2-3 times per day and I figure I am not a heavy user :)

I listen to the radio over the Internet (specialized App) in the morning for an hour or so -- a few texts during the day, maybe a call or two, check out some teams on Sportacular and maybe a few games (bubbleshooter, backgammon, etc)...

My first iPhone 4 lasted way better than the new one but I still get about a day and a half out of my second one, and that is with a 3 yr old grandson on the phone playing games a great part of the day.
I would contact Apple as that does not sound right.

Same I have 2 jailbroken Iphones. I see no reason not to.

to jailbreak - yes

as for the battery, once every second day. Just turn any notifications off you aren't using, turn off wifi when you aren't using it, its constant searching eats battery. Push notifications on email are big on battery usage, and turn your brightness down to where you're happy with it. After i turned off notifications on a bunch of crap i never used, battery lasted a lot longer

Does jailbreaking effect syncing with itunes? I was just wondering if itunes had a way to notice the phone is jailbroken.

Also, where can I dowload the latest version of jailbreak?

Nope, still syncs flawlessly and beautifully - but obviously your jailbroken apps/files wont be copied to your computer - just apple's default stuff as usual

When you jailbreak your iphone you are presented with an app known as cydia - think of it as your new app store for jailbreak things, settings, tweaks, themes, etc. you can still use the app store too, jailbreaking just gives you more customizing

I don't think so, I looked. It's 10 or 15 bucks, but it's a one-time cost.
That was the one reason I wanted to jailbreak. Then when I balanced the bullsh1t against the benefit, I decided against it.
It's funny, not too many years ago I'd have been right on top of all this stuff. Now I'm old and lazy and don't want to be bothered. I'd rather take a nap. :D

theres an app in cydia called MyWi - its 19.99 one time cost, and it creates a wifi hot spot out of your phone. (has a 3 day free trial)
- the free one just keeps track of your usage.

Do you guys in the states have to pay more for tethering or something? Ours just uses our data as normal

In order to add tethering to your iPhone, you have to switch to the new data plans, specifically, the DataPro plan. Before this change, iPhone users on AT&T would pick a voice plan plus a data plan that was $30 a month and that included unlimited data and tiered SMS plans. Voice and SMS prices remain unchanged but AT&T is going to drop the term “unlimited” from its data plan offerings and let users pick between two plans.


DataPlus: Includes 200MB of data per month for $15.
DataPro: Includes 2GB of data per month for $25. Add $20 if you want tethering.

Is there any way to keep the Installous applications from deleting when I sync my iPhone?

Sauer Grapes

If you set iTunes to not sync your apps automatically, it should solve the problem. I think you can go a step further and set it to manually do the apps, and then you should even be able to add or delete specific apps (iTunes apps) without affecting your installous apps.

I think I figured it out. I had to "Transfer Purchases from XXXXXXX" in the iTunes file menu.

Well,
Thanks to my 3 and a half year old grandson, looks like I am on my fourth iPhone 4 since they were released.

I think he decided to place it on the floor but from about three or four feet in the air and I think that somehow affected the mic for the video camera.
I was sounding muffled when I recorded.

Called Apple. They trouble shot it over the phone. Had me do a re-set. Didn't fix it. Gave me an appointment for the next morning (today) at the Apple store about 15 minutes from me, they confirmed the issue and gave me a new one to go on my way.

Don't know about others but I have had nothing but great service from this company for any of my devices.

It's the sensor up near the earpiece that turns off the screen when you are talking on the phone. I have read this a huge problem, mine does it too. When it doesn't work right you are dialing numbers with your face.:td Hoping 4.2 makes it better.

The problem people have is that it doesn't sense when something is close to it, not the opposite. If it were a problem with it being dirty, I would think that it would be difficult to get the screen to turn on, while this is the opposite problem.

Also, mine does it too, and mine is as clean as a whistle.

I've had some issues with the proximity sensor as well in the past.
I haven't pressed any buttons by accident in a while, though. Maybe I've learned to hold it against my face better.

Ive had issues after a phone call and the screen stays black for a little while with the phone down. Then i can't hit end. I just shake the bastard every which way and were all good from there.

The big surprise was only iTunes related, so nothing to get overly excited about. I won't expect a Verizon announcement until January and a phone available until June.
