In happy news, Apple Keynote is today at 1pm EST. Hopefully finally put the tablet rumors to rest and maybe see some iPhone 4.0 features and announcements 
I saved up for my iSlate Steve!
Now he just needs to tell me what it does…
And OS 4.0 would be nice as well.
I’ve had the “refurbished” replacement phone from Apple a few weeks now :tdown:
Turns off randomly and wont turn back on, battery life sucks, doesn’t always ring when a call comes in, some texts take a long time to be received on both ends.
I believe I still have warranty, but i really dont feel like wasting my time to get another piece of shit phone, and im not spending $600 a new one. Any advice? Im about sell it and get a droid…
i was using a friends droid with mine back to back prior to the superbowl. droid is a pos compared to iphone.
That’s what I’ve heard. Never used one personally though…
I’m doing a full restore, if it doesn’t work I will walk into the Apple Store and smash it on the floor in front of the “Genius Bar”
You have like 90 days. Just go back in and get another one instead of being frustrated. I would try to update it to 3.1.3 if you can and make sure the baseband and firmware is running normal before you do tho.
I thought the same thing. I was playing with a girls last week in NYC all during dinner and it had some really cool features but I don’t know. I think I am hooked on the iPhone interface but I did wish it had some cool features like the message box.
So when I sync my phone it says the apps couldn’t be backed up on the comp.
"some of the purchased items on the iPhone “Andre Sadoff’s iPohone”, including “Yelp”, could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized to play them on this computer.
To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize Computer."
but when I go to the “store” in itunes I don’t see that option
i just looked and its there on my itunes?
are you selecting “store” from the top(FILE,EDIT,VIEW,CONTROLS,STORE,ADVANCED,HELP)
Goff is right. Its the STORE menu item. Not the actual iTunes store.
Just gotta new iphone… where the hell do I start? LoL
Can we start an essential iphone newb thread?
Unlocking experts, I’ve done some googling and can’t seem to find a definitive answer: Can I pwn my iPhone to run Cydia etc if I’ve upgraded to 3.1.3, 05.12.01 ???
i found this article very interesting and funny at the same time
In a surprise move yesterday, the Electronic Frontier Foundation got a hold of the previously secret Apple iPhone Developer Program License Agreement and posted it on their website. Comparing Apple to a “jealous and arbitrary feudal lord,” the San Francisco-based digital rights group said that the computer maker was taking advantage of its control over the App Store to make devs agree to unfair conditions. EFF warns that “the future of computing” that Apple heralds is clouded by restrictions like a ban on reverse engineering and selling in alternative marketplaces like Cydia… even if your app gets rejected by Apple.
EFF got a hold of the confidential document after NASA created its own official app last year. Cleverly, the activists filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the space agency, which was forced to comply, even though the document forbids even government agencies from talking about its contents. Interestingly, though, the document does not define itself as “Confidential…” you just can get sued if you talk about it. Weird.
Software license agreements are often pretty restrictive, but this one goes farther than most. In section 7.2 it says that if you use theiPhone SDK you can only sell your app on the App Store, and that Apple can reject an app for any reason at all: even if it meets all of Apple 's own requirements, your app can still be rejected, and then you can get sued if you try to sell it on Cydia or Rock Your Phone. AndApple also claims the right kill your app whenever they want, for any reason, including that they just feel like it. The stipulation that they can “revoke the digital certificate of any of Your Applications at any time” is a clear reference to the “kill switch” that Steve Jobs admits they have.
Although reverse engineering for things like testing interoperability of your code has been recognized by the judicial system as a fair use under copyright law, section 2.6 not only flat prohibits you any reverseengineering of the iPhone OS or SDK, but even forbids you from making anything that might “enable others” to do any reverse engineering. Similarly, the ban on jailbreaking in section 3.2(e) doesn’t just cover the iPhone but tinkering with any Apple software or technology, or “enabling others to do so.” This means that if you write an App Store app but also do some work that helps some guy develop a hackintosh bootloader, for example, you can get sued.
And adding injury to insult, section 14 says that, no matter what they do to you, Apple will never be liable for more than $50 in damages. So even if they sue you for something you didn’t do, push a firmware update that breaks your app, or accidentally hit the kill switch and destroy your business, you’re legally prevented from suingApple for more than an amount the EFF puckishly notes is “the cost of a nice dinner for one in Cupertino.”
EFF observes that Apple holds the whip hand in this because it controls access to 40 million iPhone and iPod owners, and is using its position to squeeze unreasonable demands from the developer community. “If Apple wants to be a real leader, it should be fostering innovation and competition, rather than acting as a jealous and arbitrary feudal lord,” said EFF senior staff attorney Fred von Lohmann in a legal analysis on the group’s web site entitled All Your Apps Are Belong to Apple. “Developers should demand better terms,” he writes, “and customers who love their iPhones should back them.”
I have read that when I signed up to be a developer and didn’t find anything too shocking. I see where apple is coming from. A) If you are writing questionable apps and making a profit and a business and apple decides to yank your application, they can’t be sued for your business losses. Also its their platform and device. They give tools away to develop on their platform and only want applications on t here. Microsoft went after people who tried to bring .NET to Linux.
I just wish they gave better reasons and not randomly pull applications and not others.
Not sure if anything is out yet for 3.1.3
You guys really need to start looking into what the update does before just blindly applying it, especially if you’re interested in jailbreaking.
3.1.3 was nothing but a bunch of new ways for apple to lock down the phone. No new features, no bug fixes… nothing but locking you out of your phone.
but it’s the lastest and greatest, it surely must be the best
this is the part and i find the most disturbing about the whole thing though

I realize that, but at the time I wasn’t interested in jailbreaking. Oh well, I’ll just wait for 4.0 to release and apply that inevitable jailbreak.
Says it will work for iphone 3g 3.1.3 but I haven’t tried it.
Meh, I’ll just hold off. There too many stories out there about bricked phones and I really don’t want to have to buy another right now. Thanks though.
