So… My old 2g with a bad digitizer needs to be sold! I want to put it on ebay, but first i want to make sure i take off all my contacts and any other info that shouldnt go to the new owner if it were sold. Should i delete all the apps, themes, vids, ring tones i downloaded? I want to make sure its unlocked and jailbroken correctly so people are willing to bid on it. Figured i would see if theres a quick way to do it!
Thanks!
do a restore through Itunes, wouldent that get rid of it all? or go to settings, general, reset, reset all settings or reset all contacts and settings
Use the erase data feature that is in the settings. That will basically write zeros over your data so it can’t be recovered (easily).
i’m really on the fence about just going and gettin an iphone. i’m just worried because of the horror stories i’ve heard about the bill somehow being a lot more than it should be. anyone run into any billing problems with the iphone? with the plan i’m looking at, it would be about $90/month plus taxes and i get my small 8% discount. the reps at at&t say my bill will be $100/month, but i don’t know if some stupid charges are gonna crop up.
Do the erase all settings in the phone itself. It takes a long time so plan on about 4 hours to do a 16gb 3G?
its still a legit cell phone plan. people who buy the iphone sometimes dont understand that on a new cell phone plan, you pay for prorated data and voice for the rest of the current month and then the full rate next month so you may have a first bill of twice the normal payment.
Does anyone have any videos taken with the 3GS? Looking for some samples.
took this with mine (and this is afteryou tube processed it):
the updated Facebook app is in the app store for those who were waiting for it
So I want to tether… Read about the free hack for non-jb iPhones, but you can lose vvm or mms? Should I just jb instead?
I really dont care about anything else on a jb phones, just want net access from a laptop.
Also please tell me Im not the only one with horrendous wifi since 3.0?
i dont have wifi problems. are u on 3.0 or 3.0.1?
3.0.1 - read the problems on the iphone forums…heard the same story from a friend, and I now have the same issue. I want to say I was fine on 3.0…but problems started after 3.0.1.
Issue is sporadic Dropped wifi…have to be 20 ft from my AP to keep solid connection. Keep getting prompted for my AP password, or getting “cannot connect”.
They definitely changed wifi on 3.0+ as part of their battery power conservation enhancements…but this is ridiculous.
well, just installed the tether hack/fix, and no need to jailbreak. Works adequately. On it right now.
i kind of had the same problem with wifi but i dont remember if i was on 3.0 or not but i solved it by switching to frequency to G-only instead of N and worked perfect ever since
When people refer to .plist, is that <propertylist>? and is that file in something that resembles XML?
Yes in a way.
anyone using the iphone on t-mobile? what did u say to costumer service to get the web to go $10 instead of a smart phone plan for internet?
its odd…there are no guids or identifiers for apps in the plist files themselves…? only reference is based on the folder in which the file lives?
was thinking about modifying some application files without having to jb, but i don’t understand the file structure or how plist files, other than system/config files “know” to update.
Well the jailbreak allows you to actually have access to the plist files and iPhone filesystem. They typically are in the folders of the application you are looking for but you need to know what you are doing to edit them.
Also, anyone who uses Gmail should check out Gpush. Its a great app and gives you notifications of new messages in seconds of receiving them.
Yeah, I think they finally have most of the bugs worked out on gpush. Nice to finally turn off fetch.
Ya I grabbed the cracked version originally to make sure it worked and was fixed. I now bought it for $.99 to support the developer since I use the app every day.
