  • What is better firmware for the iPhone 3GS, 4.3.3 or 5.01? Answear pls :)

  • hey..m getting my 3gs next week....should i upgrade for ios4??? ive heard dat the phone becomes real slow aftr upgrade....please help....

  • if i update to IOS4 on 3GS does in meen i can have a backround on the home screen ??

  • @MrJoanthon Yes... :)

  • i had the choice of the iphone 4 and the 3gs i chose 3gs . and the iphone 5 wow what happend to the good designs there going down hill

  • @mattnicholls1992 Im not so sure that the "leaked" pics of the iPhone5 knock off are mimicing the new design. I find it very hard to believe that the design in the spy pics are what they actually will produce...we will see soon enough.

  • would you say its worth it to get a 3gs if youve never owned an iphone or would it be wiser to hold out??

  • @cv05c Id hold out till sept, they will announce the iPhone 5 and hopefully the iPhone 4 prices will drop...the iPhone 4 is twice and fast with better display and two cameras over the 3GS. Rumor has it that you might be able to get an iPhone 4 unlocked for a pretty decent price when the iPhone5 releases. :)

  • Thanks for the video, very informative.

  • Ugh use different intro music and stuff... too unoriginal.

  • does any kind of update change the retina display of ur iphone 3gs to make it look like the iphone 4 retina display?

  • @sesechris360 No, the limitation of the 3gs is a hardware one. The iPhone 4 has a far superior display. The screens on the first three generations have a resolution of 320 x 480 (HVGA) at 163 ppi, while that of iPhone 4 has a resolution of 640 x 960 at 326 ppi.

  • @GeekwGlasseslive ok thanks bro

  • does it affect the 3GS in anyway?

  • @Monty6Pythons Not from my experiences. Its faster, and more powerful of an OS

  • i luv iphone 3gs! does all iphone 3gs being sold right now come with iOS 4 now? It seems like it because when I went to at&t I was trying out the iphone 3gs and it looked like the iOS4 that you showed in this video.

  • @nathanjohnson123 I am not sure if they are being shipped with it or not. I would like to say yes after a certain point in time they would ship from the factory with it however I can not be sure. Its very easy to upgrade the min you get it home though! :)

  • @GeekwGlasseslive I was looking on the Apple site and it says that iPhone 3GS comes with iOS 4. Here is the page on the Apple website: apple . com / iphone / iphone-3gs / (Remove spaces though) and it says about it. I am so excited to get it! :)

  • you can use multitasking on a 3GS... no way in hell apple wouldve disabled it when the phone was just a year old when it came out.

  • i have a 3gs and im running 4.1 on mine and it works pretty dece actually

  • lol never mind i paused the video right before u said "to demonstrate multitasking" and im such a freaking dork

  • is the "multitasking" a feature of the iOS4 or is it a hardware feature on the iphone 4?

  • great vid man..!!! it was very helpfull.!!! thnks... keep it up

  • @utkarch thank you...glad you found it useful and commented! :)

  • hey can anyone please tell me the price of iphone 4 and 3gs in usa.

    if we buy 3gs is there any thing in software which we will miss if its upgraded to ios 4 as compared to iphone 4 please reply.

  • @munishjindal it all depends on if your tied to a carrier or not on the price. As for software benefit loss there are not many the 3gs to 4 is mainly a hardware upgrade.

  • Does the 4.2.1 work with 3gs?

  • @SrProfeta yes, thats what i'm running on mine.

  • @Wilfilco iOS 4.2 is not available and its runs great on the 3GS

  • Can I get IOS.4 from itunes ????

    Plz answer !!!!

    Thx!

  • @GRangiSmiley Yes...thats where you get all your iOS updates. You plug your device in and load iTunes and click update. The most current iOS version will install.

  • So i need help making a decision. Im trying to decide whether to get the iPhone 3gs or wait for the ihpone 4. over here in canada its really ahrd to get your hands on the iphone 4. ive been on a waiting list since the beginning og september and still no sign of it and i called them and they said theres still 10 pages in front of me on the line. I seriously can wait much longer and just wanted to know what u think. should i wait for the iphone 4 or just go ahead and get the 3gs? thanks :)

  • @ItsJustMeNaina Hmm thats a hard one! I'd say wait it out for the iPhone4 however keep in mind iPhone 5 will prob be talked about sometime early in the year and available around june/july time frame! Id say wait for iPhone4 to get your hands on that...and if it takes too long and they announce iPhone5 Id pre order that when you can !! :)

  • @GeekwGlasseslive That's what I was thinking too but the only problem is I'm phoneless at the moment :( and it's really hard to keep contact with people without one. Also if I get the 3GS Rogers said I would be stuck with it for 2 years ohhh man this is SO HARD! lol I suck at making decisions

  • Ok, so I'm debating wether to buy a iPhone 3gs or iPhone 4. So the main question is, if I buy the 3GS will it come with the ios4 or do I have to download it.

  • @badgirlsclubfan4life You will most likely have to download it the first time you sync with your computer. First thing you will do is plug it in so you can sync music, photos and such from your system...before you do that Im sure the update button will have iOS4 available. If you want my opinion If you have the money go for the iPhone4. Faster, better cameras, HD video, bigger longer lasting battery. :)

  • @fishboy928 I had a 3GS before I got my iPhone4!

  • Is your iPhone 3Gs the 32gb version? My iPhone 3Gs 16gb version is now running version 4.1. The problem is my iPhone is kinda sluggish when doing stuff. Like when I swipe the springboard from page to page. Its so sluggish and it looks so ugly lol. I compared it to my cousin's 32gb version, and it was so smooth, way smoother. Is there anyway to fix it and make it smooth again? Or does the 32gb version have better ram or whatever than the 16gb? Please reply :) Thanks. :D

  • @ardienator My 3GS is only 16gb. You could be running into speed issues do to the amount of apps you have installed on your phone. Id suggest clearing out all the apps you dont actually use on a regular basis. the 16gb and 32gb have the same amount of RAM the only diff is the storage. also try resetting it now and then hold down your lock and home button till it turns off and you see the apple logo again then let go!

  • @ardienator I have the same problem. My iphone 3gs is the 32gb version, and i have like 20gb of space left. It seems toi depend on what background you have. On some backgrounds, it seems a bit rough scrolling through the springboard pages. However, on other background it seems just fine. Change your background and give it a go. Any differences? I would like to know. Hope i helped. Thanks

  • How do you do it that's what am trying Ti find out?

  • @chargers1783 how do you do what?

  • @GeekwGlasseslive get the IOS4 ON MY IPHONE 3GS

  • @chargers1783 All you have to do is plug it into a computer running itunes and it will automaticly update to 4.1 after you say its ok for it! :)

  • @chargers1783 yea i got it but its not the same as yours

  • So if I wanted to listen to my "iHeartRadio" app in the background while I reply to a text, I won't be able to if I have the iOS4 running on a 3GS?

  • @nazo360 Actually no...this video is a bit dated and was from the day the iOS4 was released...they have since resolved most problems....not all apps had been updated to fully support the new features of multitasking but have by now...so you should be good to go! Thanks for the comment.... :)

  • @GeekwGlasseslive Your welcome, and do you know if the update is free? I've heard that for the update you have to pay AT&T or Apple $100.

  • @nazo360 The update is free...just plug your phone into your computer and open iTunes....you will see an update alert.

  • @GeekwGlasseslive OKay, yeah i remember seeing that when I plugged in my iTouch one day. The update is still on iTunes? And if so, do you think they'll ever remove it sometime in the future? Cause my friend is giving me her old one.

  • @nazo360 Well till they release a newer update this will be the firmware they have available...but keep in mind this video was mad on iOS 4.0 we now have 4.1! With lots of bug fixes and improvements!

  • @GeekwGlasseslive And once I update to this, is Jailbreaking out the question in the future. I'm sure Apple has patched up most of the obvious holes required to Jailbreak.

  • @nazo360 Negative...."greenpoison" will jailbreak 4.1 there are a few other tools that will do it as well....

  • @GeekwGlasseslive Really? Hm, where can i find it? Cause I'm thinking about Jailbreaking my iTouch, but still i'm trying to find a way to keep all my memory without having to start all over. Im not synced to iTunes.

  • your battery wen from 97% to 94% in under 10 minutes. Is that a downside for a 3gs with an ios4? or it's normal for a 3gs?

  • @red20ro Keep in mind this was an iPhone that has had ALOT of use and also I had the brightness pumped up for the demo....I will say that the iPhone 4 has much better battery life due to its larger battery! :)

  • @GeekwGlasseslive Well I'd agree with the iphone 4, but it's too advance for my casual daily uses thou :)

    And anyway, how long would your iPhone (3gs iOS4) lasts for an average usage? (Messaging, Music, and some picture flicking here and there)

  • Your battery went from 97% to 94% in less then 10 minutes

  • Very helpfull! But is there any downside to upgrading the 3GS to iOS4?

  • @Draxicor Im sure there are...however I have not found any! The iOS4.1 update fixes a few of the performance issues that were an issue for the 3G and seems pretty snappy on the 3GS as well. I think its well worth the update. :)

  • cool, found out lots usefull thing from ur video!! xx

  • @absexolutely Glad you found it useful! :)

  • iam going to buy a 3gs for get that iphone 4

  • how do you get that back ground when your using the phone on mine its just black but his is different

  • @sonicboomracing 6:32 in the video will show you how.

  • mkay sir, i have a iphone 3g and its updated to the 3.1.3 version and i try to update it to the ios4 version and when its finished backing up my phone it just stops and doesnt update it to the ios4 thing, so what do i do?

  • @shawn1995roolzdood For starters I would not recommend upgrading a 3G to iOS4....its very very slow and you dont get half of the benifits. No multitasking, is one major thing. The 3G is just not fast enough. I had upgraded my 3G and decided to down grade it back to 3.1.4!!

  • @GeekwGlasseslive ight thank you sir, but i already have the ios4 thing downloaded to my itunes how do i get it off and get the 3.1.4?

  • @shawn1995roolzdood Have you already upgraded your phone?? If you havent then dont worry about it being downloaded...just dont let it install.

  • @GeekwGlasseslive no i havent, its just there and when i plug my phone into the laptop it asks if i wanna upgrade and i click no or whatever cause its all retarded and shit and just stops after it backs my phone up haha

  • MAY I KNOW THE SONG FOR THE START?

  • @kenkol33 Its Kickstart Med...its a built in song for iLife

  • Can I upgrade to ios4 if I have a jailbroken 3gs?

  • Comment removed

  • apple employees are too busy sipping lattes and singing along (in groups) to John Mayer to give a Sh*t about you and your old 3G or 3GS.

    welcome to the new Apple, where it is completely obvious its upper leadership doesn't give a crap about its most valuable asset.... YOU!

  • I have a iphone 3g jailbroken,is this safe to upgrade IOS 4 ?

  • @rocket88100 the iPhone 3G's (not 3GS) are a bit slower when jailbroken IMO....espicially on 4.0. but yeah you would have to update, and then re-jailbreak, first time i used JailbreakMe, which sucked...plus its not compatible with 4.0.2 anyways, so i would go with redsn0w (latest version), It was a little difficult at first during the setup process because I had to manually enter DFU mode, but once i got it going the install of the jailbreak was pretty quick. hope this helps.

  • Hi: I have a 3g jailbroken ,is this safe to upgrade ios 4.0 .Can ipod touch 2nd gen get it too? Thanks

  • I heard from my friend that ios4 makes even the 3gs a bit slower. You mentioned that it doesn't make your 3gs slower. Do you still think so after a few months?

  • @cupfloor Still going strong after a month or so....I am happy with its performance.

  • Good lord, your phone is fast. Rivaling my 4. Maybe because I have so much on it.

  • what do you think is better, an iphone 3gs with ios4 or the iphone 4

  • @metalmaster014 I think the iPhone 4 is far superior of a device than the 3gs. Faster proc, better networking, dual cameras, HD video, LED light, AMAZING screen to name a few....I also love the design. Other then the antenna issue but a case will solve that prob & you want a case anyway to give it better grip when holding it.

  • @GeekwGlasseslive hey thanks man

  • @metalmaster014 of course iphone4 with the new os. ios4 on 3g sucks, on 3gs meh its ok but not great.

  • @metalmaster014 dude...y say such a stupid thing? iphone 3gs ith ios4..or iphone 4 with ios4. no shit iphone 4, its better and newer...it's like saying, whats better? $10 or $10000. or £89 or £8904...i wonder whats better..iphone 1st gen or iphone 4..mhmhmhmh... -.-

  • @TheRunscapeNoobShow number1 cum guzzler, i wasnt asking you, 2, if the iphone 3gs with ios4 is as good as the iphone 4 at a lower price, do the math, if you can, so i asked an expert, not your sorry ass

  • very helpful. I get my new 3GS this weekend and will use IOS 4. thank you

  • Cool video and whats the song in the beginning

  • @ZGODOMEGAHALO Its a built in iLife song called KickFlip Short! :)

  • If you but the iPhone 3GS, you have a iOS 4 installed to feel like the iPhone 4 with no FaceTime!

  • still prefer 3.1.3 best leave the os4 on iphone 4. as long theres no really really something good feature on future iphone os id stick to my 3.1.3.

  • @darkcyrx There are ALOT of good new features with iOS4! Spellcheck, zoom in camera, tap to focus in video and camera, new inbox features and organization, multitasking, folders, web search from spotlight...just to name a few. :)

  • @GeekwGlasseslive Question, how do I get the ios 4 on my 3gs what do I have to do, because I don't know what to do at all? thank you if u can respond fast.

  • @Mr291229 Plug ur phone into your computer and open iTunes! Click update, sit back and wait....voilà iOS4

  • @GeekwGlasseslive yes thats a great feature BUT that doesnt beat the ones that a jailbroken 3gs does. the tweaks ran faster eats less memory, proc and specially the multitasking. folders only hold 12 apps. the background wallpaper feature cant beat bosspaper. since jailbreaking is now legal id still love a 3gs on 3.1.3 BUT if i get my iphone4 then thats a different story.

  • Pretty cool video! Gives a nice overview and tempts me to upgrade my 3GS to iOS4. What happens to the contacts, music and the existing apps? Do I need to restore them from a backup?

  • @ashwingayu During the upgrade proc it will create a back up and then restore after the new OS is installed...you will loose nothing!

  • @GeekwGlasseslive Great! I upgraded and it works like a charm. Thanks for the help :)

  • Pretty cool video! Gives a nice overview and tempts me to upgrade my 3GS to iOS4. What happens to the contacts, music and the existing apps? Do I need to restore them from a backup?

  • i Love technology....

  • hi just wounderd how did u put the folders on the iphone 3 Gs

  • hi just wounderd how did u put the folders on the iphone 3 Gs

  • hi just wounderd how did u put the folders on the iphone 3 Gs

  • You tube doesn't work faster in ios 4 in iPhone 3gs

  • CAn u test the Navigon GPS speed & Multitasking when its running.

  • hi, a quick question, i m using a same fone as urs. just need to ask will i loose all my data, messages, apps ........wen i upgrade to ios4 ?

  • @swamiworld1 no.

  • @swamiworld1 no you will not. it will back everything up before it installs. everything will stay on there :)

  • Great video thx

  • Great thx man!

  • just to let u guys know the GM Version of IOS 4.0 is able to run Pandora in the backround

  • how to i see to do in iphone?

    

  • hes following ijustine lol

  • i am currently jailbreaking on ipod touch 2g

  • iOS4 multitasking is retarded. I don't understand why they made it so that every app you close is automatically sent to multitask, it should be like a special function not the primary function. To close an app, you have to press the home button, then open up multitasking and end it. Backgrounder is way better, to multitask something, you HOLD the button. Makes sense. Saves battery and CPU.

  • Hi GeekwGlasseslive, I really like your videos, great tips & tricks. One question, where did you get that awesome nintendo background on your phone? Cheers

  • @spanarnz Hi and thanks for the compliments! I just did a search for NES controller wallpaper! :)

  • @GeekwGlasseslive Thank You so much

  • so is this only on the iphone 3gs?

  • @BlondishTony you can put the new iOS on a 3G phone but I would not recommend it. Slows it down to a crawl!!

  • i upgraded to iOS4 and jailbreaked with latest PwnageTool and unlocked with ultrasn0w, and everything works except YouTube, can anyone explain me how to fix it?

  • DO NOT INSTALL IOS4 "upgrade" ON YOUR IPHONE!!!!!!!!!!!

    Doing so has eviscerated my 3GS.

    My phone had no problems at all before ios4, now problems is all I have. It heats up so bad, you can't hold it. The battery life is so bad, you can watch it drop each minute. After using my 90$ gps (navigon) app to get from my house to San Francisco (40 min), my phone was so hot i thought it would explode. It was plugged into my car and not charging, but decreasing instead. A plugged in symbol on the bat

  • Hello i just watched the video with my New iPhone 4 Ur cool !!

  • cool analysis; all aspects covered beautifullly; kudos!

  • um, does this relly increase the battery life?? i would relly like if u would tell me.

  • I just ordered a new iphone and your video really helps. I now got to know about wich of some important, fun and interesting apps just by looking at the ones you have on your phone and i can now download some of them. Good video image and sound and you also speaky clearly. Thanks man.

  • My battery life sucks now with the new OS and I have everything turned off I am going back to the old OS 3.0 and see if I really am not crazy

  • Will u hve to unlock your iPhone again

  • okay so all i have to do is plug in my phone with itunes open,wait for it to sync and then update it?

  • @masirros7 Yep! :)

  • @GeekwGlasseslive thanks alot man :)

  • @masirros7

    Anytime!

    

  • thanks :) but whats a backup and how do you do that?

  • @masirros7 When you plug your phone in with itunes running the first thing it does during a sync is a backup...you will see it in the display on itunes

  • if i update my 3gs to ios4,will it delete all my contacts and memory or wtv thats on my phone?

  • @masirros7 Nope...do a backup first. Then update, then when the update is done you do a restore from your backup and its exactly the same as it was before the update. All settings, apps and data is restored. !

  • I just updated my itouch os3 but all my pictures are pixelated! Why is this so?!

  • @crescendollsx an alien is living there now

  • I have an iPhone 3GS and I would like to update it to iOS 4. Do I have to remove the sim card before updating? Will it lock after the update? Please help. Thanks

  • @jameszambie You do not need to remove the sim...this is an official update from apple. It is free and it will not lock your phone up. Do a backup before you start then update...then restore from back up to get your phone back up and running. :)

  • what does the my wireless app do?

  • @nerad1994 Its an app that allows you to view your bill, view your usage, and pay your bill remotely. it also allows you to review and add services to your acct.

  • i like it so much :)

    its sickk

  • i spent 2 hours downloading new itunes then i spent 2 hours updating iphone and i have 3g and i dont get background for home screen -.- and thats like the only thing i did all that gor

  • @dgabel59 The 3G does not have enough power to give you multitasking, why you cant set a wallpaper im not sure. However you did get some other features like all in one mail box, spell check, web search from your search screen and some other features. How come your downloads took so long>!?

  • @GeekwGlasseslive You can also redsn0w your 3G.

    considering everything is compatible, you can enable the features.

    Given, your phone will be laggy as shat.

    Downloads probably took forever because he has DSL. Or dialup for that matter.

  • @GeekwGlasseslive probably using dial up...lols

  • @dgabel59 2hours? kid its 2010, get away from dial up...LOLS

  • i have a pc,so what should i do?

  • @2GoodTooBTRUE Plug your phone into your PC open iTunes, and hit the ol update button! It will download the lastest firmware and update your phone.

  • @GeekwGlasseslive is it for free?

  • @WHiTeCrAcKeR3000 No...the retna display is a physical thing not a software thing. The new iPhone has the new display.

  • how do i updrade to ios4?? wud u explain me?? is it jus go to itunes n dats it?

  • @s22lance go to itunes, plug in your iphone/ipod touch, and clikc "Update" it will take about 2 hours for it to full update

  • how do i updrade to ios4?? wud u explain me?? is it jus go to itunes n dats it?

  • your video was alot of help but I have 2 questions i'm hoping you can answer - first I don't have the utilities icon your talking about so how do I get that to appear and second my phone is constantly "searching" (the icon up in the left hand corner is checking every few seconds - I made sure I don't have anything open so i'm not sure whats going on. Thanks, Sharkey

  • @slsharkey Hmm...thats odd that you dont have the system util app. Have you tried a hard reset of the phone. Hold down the home and lock keys till the phone shuts down and restarts, let go when you see the apple logo come back on. Let me know what happens.

  • May I know how do you get this version?

  • wow it is so great, all this time i tried to find a web that can change my themes and backgrounds...now i don't have to! the only thing i hate is that my ringtones are only 21 sec tops i can't mack it more,and the sms tone, for that i have to crack my iphone...sucks!

  • How are you liking the battery life? I noticed your battery dropped 3% in this 10 minute video

  • @sinecure1 I happen to be getting better battery life actually then I was before the update. I have posted an video on battery tips that I personally use. See it that helps!

  • cool. how much is it and how do u get it?

  • @fredericksantos It is free...just plug your iphone into your computer launch iTunes and click the update botton! :)

  • My 3GS is giving HORRIBLE iPod video playback. Its so laggy its unbelieveable. I will post a video soon.
