  • Help

  • It doesn't wrk for my iPod. My friends have it and they don't have jail broken iPods.

  • Thank you..:)

  • @jolderon2 a lot! Lol

  • I have iPhone 3G and the battery indicator don't works.

  • i have it and its on my iphone 3g

  • How much does the Iphone 3gs 32gb version cost without a contract???

  • apple . com

  • @jolderon2 $500

  • That's awesome. I was looking for an app that could show me the percentage, but I had no idea it was there in the phone the whole time.

  • my iphone 3gs is being hot and battery life is the worst. . .

    Help me please. . REPLY!!!!

  • 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...

    partly because im a lot outside and its freezing

    and i remembered the word: saturday

  • 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

  • just get BatteryStatus from AppStore :)

  • iphone 3G s only

    w w w. iPhone3GS. org

  • 0:40 hahaha

  • lol

  • 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

  • lol

  • wait wait wait wait wait..... 9 hours of stand by and 2 hours of working and only 33% left ?!?! nah thanks ill move on to HTS Touch HD

  • 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.

  • Fantastic. Much Appreciated :D. Thanks

  • thnx so much...

  • there is an app called "Free Memory" where you can free your ram. also, it displays your battery percentage in the app

  • thnx so much... I was wondering how u do that. Now I see percentage left of my battery. Thank you

  • 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!

  • lmao this comes with the 3.0 update. all the phones can do it. I have a 8gb 3G

  • lol, no it doesn't. I also have a 8gb 3g and it wasn't there until i realized you can download it from cydia if you have a jailbroken phone.

  • T-T-T-Toggle SPIT IT OUT JUNIOR 0:42

  • question now for me only is, is there any improvement in battery life against 3gs?

  • Absolutely, yes. Also, check out jon4lakers channel to see tips on how to increase your iPhone 3G S battery life.

  • You can do this on the normal 3g by lots of differernt types of apps I think the 3gs is a waste of additional money anyone else agree?

  • +1 i agree w/ you

  • Absolutely! I'm definitely not upgrading!

  • Good stuff

  • Handy :)

  • can u do this with the ipod 2nd gen?

  • 3g s

  • only by hacking

  • Only on iPhone 3GS.

    Which I think is totally ridiculous.

  • not really...the battery sensor in 3G is inaccurate, way to inaccurate, in 3G S its very accurate.

  • i have an iphone 2g that has a battery indicator too.. i got that when i upgraded to OS 3.0.. ^_^

  • a jailbroken 3G can do this to

  • I found a bunch of these tricks on the iphone check out my viedos to see it.

  • SIMPLE AND COOL!!!!

  • You know what they're doing? just adding the video recorder and this to stop people from jailbreaking. well mainly the video recorder.

  • they also added more ram, faster processing and the ability to play HD games with graphics close to things on the DSI or PsP

  • HTC Hero

  • cant wait its going to be sick...

  • theres the same exact thing for a blackberry

  • john is too cool.

  • great, apple really needed this.

  • my 1st gen iphone has it and its not jailbroken

  • 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.

  • what did you use for the jailbreak?

  • thats so gay. i can't do it on my touch. its a great function.. great video!! lol

  • i wish i g could get a iphone 3gs let alone an iphone

  • Yeah I just figured that out a day ago, it's great.

  • Is this possible with the 1st gen iPod Touch?

  • only if u jailbreak, theres no reason not to on the ipods

  • view my video and it will get it for you

  • yet another reason to jailbreak.... well done Apple !!

  • what is that shimmering glow on the screen is that the anti fingerprint layer

  • i only have an iphone 3g i want th 3g s

  • if u want the battery indication on your 3g, watch my video.

  • I don't have $399 apple!! >=[

    I still have your phone that you released just last year!!

  • does anyone know a really easy way to jailbreak an iPod touch 2nd gen?

  • use like red sn0w lol io did it

  • funny how jailbroken icons have had this forever!!

  • Cool

  • the app memoryinfo and freememory does something similar for all iphone and 3G users

  • strange that it isnt on the 3.0

  • My 3g has it o_0

  • if u want it on something other than 3gs, watch my video

  • Hey Can You Do A App Review On That At&t Navigator I Wanna See If I Should Pay 999 A Month For It

  • Just to let everyone know, you can do that on MacBooks too.

    If you click the battery and go to 'Show' and click percentage.

    Very usual.

  • Sweet, Thanks.

  • my iphone 3g has it

  • hey mine does too!!! weird can't toggle between on and off though

  • are you on an iphone 3G S?

  • No I have a normal 3G unlocked, the battery indicator has been up ever since I upgraded to 3.0

  • Got it on my 2G too :)

  • WHAT'S UP GUYS AND GIRLS !

    its funny when he says that :)

  • got this on my iphone 3g, too ;)

  • 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...

  • we all kow how to do it the software leaked 2 weeks ago

  • how??????

  • 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

  • EXACTLY! that would have been SO easy to add to the firmware!

  • They had to build up the feature list somehow, same with the nike+ it could easily be added to the 3G.

    Bit ridiculous if you ask me.

  • I've had this feature since 2.0 on my 3g

  • apple slow at getting the basics but pretty good at getting the new stuff

  • why the hell isnt this on the 3g with the new software update!?

  • 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

  • fuck jailbreaking thats how to get fucked over if something happens to your iphone

  • 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...

    so touchae...

  • its still a risk because i dont want it to brick, or get caught up in any warranty problems

  • 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

  • i still dont want anything bad to happen to my iphone, there is always a chance that you could brick it

  • 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.

  • if you want it on another device, watch my video. you dont have to use sbsettings

  • Great tip Jon, Thanks

  • i want a iPhone really bad cause they are really sweet

  • Every Sony Ericsson has % battery :S

    It's new to iPhone?

    OMG! :|

  • screw all sony ericssons put together could not defeat the iPhone 3GS

  • This is a feature that should've been on every single device.

    I don't get why they don't have it on other devices?

  • another feature it should have had years ago XD

  • They had that feature on all the devices on the 3.0 betas then they took it off =/

  • i know its fucking gay

  • wow this is the first thing i found on this iphone

  • you have missed an "s" in the description box ...

  • could u please PLEASE change ur intro ?

    "Whats up guys and girls!"

    HATE IT!!!!!

    great vid though

  • lol

  • 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 !!

  • thanks a lot helped

  • What is the camcorder do you use?

  • some of the 3gs features could have been incorporated in the 3.0 OS for the 3G, like this for example and video recording i guess too.

  • Google is your friend.

  • hey whats that at&t nav. could u do a demo on that

  • 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

  • you need to jailbreak it

  • that was an update on the new os.. ive got it on my 3g no jailbreak

  • Just install SBSettings on other iPhones... (Jailbroken)

  • well i have a ipod touch 2g and it has it

  • Just Download Settings on a jailbroken device to get it, then select numeric battery

  • i had that on my 1.1.3 ipod touch. it was an app for jailbroken ipods back in 1.1.x.

  • i had this on my 3g when i was on beta 5

    but its not in the release version (btw i changed a file to get in beta 5)

  • i had that on my ipod for 2 years now

  • ive had that for a year now..

  • Nice one i keep finding out new things every day too about the iPhone 3G S.

    Great Video

  • nice little feature that i had no idea about.. thanks Jon

  • jon, do you know if there is an option to avoid highways, on the at&t navigator?

  • 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.

  • Dude you download the att navigator!!! you must be rich to be paying an extra $9.99mo in you contract

  • No I got it on my iPod touch 2g with no jailbreak just 3.0 update

    There was no setting just automatic

  • There's an app called Battery Life that allows you to view your battery life percentage. It even displays your battery history in a chart.

  • hey dude is it on the appstore and how much is it

  • Er, sorry. It's called BatteryLog. It's $0.99.

  • Ah, so it is 3G S exclusive, unless hacked. I was wondering how to get this. Thanks for the tip!

  • I been knowing this for a while now and I don't even have a 3G S.

  • ur supposed to say how much battery power is left but good vid anyway

  • Does this work on the iPod Touch?

  • No im pretty sure just for the iphone 3G S, which kind of sucks.

  • only if u jailbreak

    and download sb settings

    its like boss prefs but without a icon

    and u can do more features

  • Can I do this on the ipod touch with firmware 3.0?

  • this is a software thing, it's doesn't make sense why apple didn't add it to the 3.0 software and just the 3gs

  • dont you get it

    3.0 is capable witht he compass app and all the other featurs

    just not the power of it

    and the internals

    they dont inclue it in so they could make more money

  • Comment removed

  • its capable of using but u cant get it

    cuz wont allow it

    they would rather make people waste money for the 3gs

  • 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.

  • How do u get the compass on the 3G? thanks, I don't mind hacking mine cause it's hacked already lol

  • you cannot.

  • 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.

  • Thus is cool but it's on my 3g 3.0 ? I don't have the 3gs, but the percent is still there LOL I even restored it!

  • it even tells you when u last charged ur fone..WOW! even the psp doesnt do that!

  • iPhone beats the PSP all the way.

  • nice i never knew that

  • omg

    michealdc7 found out about this first

    stop copying him!!!!

  • he didnt claim it

  • still its fail...

    :(

    wosent expectingt his from u jon....

    copying other peoples videos

    no point

  • what aare you talking about?

  • 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

  • DUDE! Shut up! It doesnt matter who claimed it! Apple put it there, people will make vids about it. SHUT UP
