i got my 3gs the day before yesterday.... eeerrr i forgot the real word for that day
anyways i used it a fucking lot the first day i had it went on the internet stuff like that and it was hot and the battery was worst but since weekend is over and i cant use my phone every two minutes in work the battery is good and it doesnt even get warm...
that's pretty nice. i have a question for those who have the 3GS. i'm gonna have my own in 4 days and i was wondering if you have this option and the compas and such standard on the phone when you buy it? thanx allready. BTW nice video tho
apple didnt include this on the 3g and 2g because 3gs had way better battery and apple doesnt want people to see their battery percentage go down quick on the 3g and 2g
um no, the battery life is WAY WAY WAY better then that... i have had mine on all day since 7am its 3am and its at 30% and thats with phone calls and txtn. the battery life is really great if u turn off the 3g network(if ur not using the internet) and turn the brightness down.
this is not a usage, its a phone for internet, on 3G on skype in 20 minutes it takes 20% of the battery its not funny... if youre saying that it has battery better than iphones before then i cant imagine how shitty old iphones are... 3GS is good but still the battery... on the other side you can understand but still if it lasted a day with constant msn it would be great =[
yes the previous versions of the iphone SUCK for battery this one is way way better then those but not even close to blackberry yet. I went from a blackberry where the battery lasts about 2, 3 days to a iphone where it lasts barely 12 hours.
hmm thats cool, i never used blackberry.. i was on windows mobile, had blackjack, it came with 2 batteries regular which with some internet lasted for 5 hours, without barely a day, and a big battery which made phone 2 times thicker could last for 2-3 days with some internet so for me iphone is something in between... im never comming back to WM though so lagy.. applications use the RAM as storage!! and phone lags and you cant clean it because its too complicated..
Yeah WM not that great of a choice, they are cool looking though. Idk i just am carrying 2 phones around incase my iphone dies i just pull out the good old blackberry and change sim cards and im all set.
The battery on the 3G S is smaller than the batter on the 3G. Hence, battery life is actually shorter than the older Iphone. On Apple's website, they actually recommend you to turn off the 3G to extend battery life!
My 1st gen ipod touch had it when i updated to 3.0. IDK if it was because i had it like that in 2.2 jailbroken or just because i update it to 3.0 and then jailbroke it again.
If you all want to know how to get the 3.0 software on any iphone or itouch just message me...it is the exact software no jailbreaking or hacking at all...free...easy to do for both mac and pc users...
why isn't this feature on ipod touches runnning the 3.0 software? it shouldn't be exclusive to the phone...that's not right...hopefully in future updates it will be available
it is in the 3.0 os in the 3G just disabled the switch on the 3G...
to get access to this feature and make it look exactly like the one in this video, jailbreak, install cydia, install syssettings, in sys settings go to more, then click numerical battery and voila
actually thats where your wrong... jailbreaking uses the DFU mode process to jailbreak which in turn can be used to restore or revive (if u will) any ipod touch / iphone... that is... if your software craps out on you hook it up with the jailbreaking software and it shall to restored back to its working state...
if you dont want to install sbsettings, which i think slows the phone down, than watch my video. you still have to jailbreak, but not install sbsettings
its cool. i see where your coming from. ive been interrupted during baseband flashing and thought i bricked it. i ended up reflashing and some other tools. but just a regular jailbreak it pretty safe because you can always do a restore in iTunes. if they release it for my 3gs im not going to do it tho. its too fast and stable right now. it slowed down my first gen like crazy.
Im on the 1st gen iphone and it did it with the 3.0 update i just assumed that it was like it any way! And also hoping to get the iphone 3gs very soon !!
lol you don't need to know any programming to jailnbreak the iphone, ipod touch. i used a program called quickpwn for my ipod touch 1g but whether its the same for iphone :S
When i updated my 3G to 3.0 it had that there, then i had to restore and it was gone. Looks like its a 3.0 feature they just didnt put a toggle switch for the 2G and 3G models.
I know the 3g is capable of all that stuff, because when I had mine jailbroken it could show the percentage of battery, have a compass, etc. Of course it's about making money, but I don't think a selling point is a compass, lol. So i'll keep my 3g for now.
Noo.. AllThingsMac1.. the iPhone 1st gen and iPhone 3G do not have compass hardware built in so they are not capable of doing that. The iPhone 3GS, however, does.
there are compass apps, but you can not get a real compass as seen on the 3g S. The 3g S has a real magnetic compass built into the phone. there is nothing you can do on the 3g to add a true magnetic compass unless you plan on opening the phone and working with the hardware.
pretty sure there are many more videos like this one. and personally i would rather have john stop msking so many got damn vids. make them all packed into one about the iphone
and if he's making them as the issues present themselves? i'd prefer to know what was happening with tech that i'm interested in when it happens and not months later after he's compiled a 2 hour long documentary
