THE **iPhone** Thread (GPS, JailBreak, Apps, Etc)

where did you hear this?

My friend was surfing google looking for any info on it, he came across a site claiming that was going to be the monthly service fee to tether. It may have been total BS obviously, I hoped maybe someone might know for sure tho.

whats the deal with it? will we have to call and have it activated? or will it be on a update on itunes?

also anyone know if the pic message will be included in out bill already or will have to change the bill

I am not 100% sure how they are going to roll it out. The 3.1 realease should be next week since it may be needed to unlock the features of the new iPods on Tuesday. It does have MMS enabled on it so I don’t know if they will let people have it and on the 25th have ATT throw the switch or wait to release it till the 25th and just have a carrier settings file to enable MMS.

I some people have reported their MMS working already by installing the CARRIER settings file which enables MMS and tethering.

As for tehering, they did say it would be an extra fee but I heard around $30 but who knows.

For those of you using Cycorder, what program are you running to transfer the videos from the phone to your PC?

WinSCP?

Mine seems about the same to tell you the truth, i didnt jail break my phone yet though, still debating besides the new update coming there isnt a point to do so just yet.

iFunBox

Filezilla + iphone tunnel suite so I can do the SSH transfer over USB.

I installed DiskAid, it works very well.

Good for cleaning out root files too

funny you say that about the battery, i had a 3g and a 3gs and my battery is much better on the 3gs

It was just a rumor people were talking about and how they are hoping 3.1 fixes battery issues. Didnt know how much validity it had.

3.1 is available today

What’s new with 3.1

Not much unless they added something major since the 3.1 beta 3. I am more excited about iTunes 9 to be honest with its app management.

Hopefully 3.1 is pretty solid. Should be seeded tonight for downloading.

eh wish there was more.

Need to wait till I can jailbreak with it. Then I’ll do it

How do u get better wifi with bt on? Someone wanna explain that to me?

Thing I like is pasting numbers into the keypad. I hate having to use quicknotes to paste a number so I can add 716 in front of it.

Other than that, no real point to upgrade until MMS is out.

Some people had issues that their WiFi wouldnt connect when BT was connected to a device and such.

Who can save me the web scouring and tell me what I need to jailbreak and unlock a 3g Iphone with 3.0 firmware on it?

Thanks
