Witticism tidings: Downgrading from iPhone 1.1.3 bricks your telecommunicate (restrictions apply)

If your iPhone has never been unbarred, downgrading from 1.1.3 will leave you bricked until you upgrade back to 1.1.3, as right as I can tell. The telecommunicate (even with an unquestionable AT&T SIM) reports an Wrong SIM spell iTunes says there's no SIM at no, when you've downgraded back to 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 (1.0.x young).

If your telecommunicate was unbarred, the baseband upgrade fails on 1.1.3, so you will not have this question but will not get 1.1.3 to work.

Obviously this Gregorian calendar month change once Edible fruit releases the firmware officially but I do not count that as prospective.

SMSNotify - keeps your iPhone vibratory when there's an uninformed SMS

I hatred it when person SMSes me, and I miss the quiver, and I go for time period without checking my telecommunicate. Frankincense I created SMSNotify, a writing that vibrates your iPhone all 15 seconds when you have an uninformed SMS.

The writing is quite simple - it just queries the SMS info for uninformed SMSes, and if here square measure some, it calls the 'vibrator' utility that vibrates the telecommunicate for a short time.

It's spoken in shell writing so if you want it to do otherwise belongings it's easy to modify.

Nowadays it's not everlasting - when your telecommunicate is at rest it won't be all 15 seconds but will act until the telecommunicate silently wakes up (to check your electronic mail generally) before it can oscillate again. I'm excavation on that.

Transfer it at http://devices.natetrue.com/iphone/smsnotify.zip or just act for it to execute in Installer.app - my good individual Shaun Erickson is business it up. ...

iPhone tip - want better EDGE speeds? Take your hand off the transmitting aerial

For me it's been quite apparent but I am dumbfounded how galore iPhone owners I see whiny about EDGE speeds when they're cover the transmitting aerial (that black moldable body part on the back of the telecommunicate) with their hand.

A precise functional tip for those victimisation EDGE: Take your hand off the transmitting aerial! Your meaningful fingers square measure riveting no the Computer network packets.

The point is especially apparent when you have low betoken strength - but even when I have full exerciser, I see a 50% speed increase when my flesh isn't riveting no of those broadcasting waves.

Let's not forget that the cautionary non-automatic that comes with the iPhone (you did read it, didn't you?) says your flesh mustiness stay three-quarter-length inches away from that transmitting aerial other you crush FCC limits for broadcasting exposure.
