Because we need one I have some questions. I will be getting mine tomorrow (awesomely quick shipping o__O) What are the best apps? What is "places" on facebook? I've seen people using it but I can't figure out how they do it. I am guessing it's an app, but how do I get it? Should I jailbreak it? (it's the 4 if it matters) - I've also heard you can do it much easier now - how? Good games? Anything else? I just need some cool stuff, lol. OH, anyone had antenna problems??
To answer your jailbreak question. DO IT! I can tell you a free and super easy way that you can do it without using a computer. PM me if you want to know because I dont want the world to know because its better when jailbreaks are harder to get!! And btw its safe to do. People say it voids the warranty but thats not true. If you just reset your phone then they will never know you jailbroke it. Its also LEGAL in the US now!
I know it's legal in the US, but not here in Denmark And I had my other iphone jailbroken and loved it. Just heard some people saying it's a bad idea. But the whole point of this thread is to let people know stuff - so why don't you want them to know how to do it, lol? I will probably post it when I find out. I heard something about going on some page from your iphone. Still need to do some research though.
I dunno...I guess I just dont want lurkers who arent signed up with NF to know all of our tricks! I will PM you how to do it!
Lurkers can't see this thread and if your talking about jailbreakme.com then it's not that much of a secret. Freja you just need to make sure when you get your iPhone that it has the ios 4.01 firmware nothing past that. If it's past that than you can't use jailbreakme.com as it uses a PDF exploit to jailbreak your phone. I did it to my 3GS and I love it. Places on Facebook is a feature of the fb app. It uses the gps tracker in your phone to check if there are any buildings near you and you can check in and let people know where you are. I just typed all of this on my iPhone lol
If jailbreaking is illegal where you're from, just reset your iPhone before you take it to the store to get repaired or something. Otherwise, no ones going to know or report you. Jailbreaking and resetting are pretty easy processes, just google it. "Places" is built into the Facebook app (which is free) and basically just lets people know where you are when you post statuses. It's kind of a creepy thing because people can see where you are, so I have mine disables. Some cool games are Ragdoll Blaster, Angry Birds, Photo Hunt and Scramble. They're all 99 cents I think, but there's free trial versions of all of them. (But if you're jailbroken you really don't have to worry about that). Some apps I use are Facebook, myWireless (which is just like a mobile version of your AT&T account, pretty nifty), Pandora Radio, IMDB, Remote (which lets you control your iTunes on your computer from your phones, like volume and changing songs and stuff, awesome shit), Photo Shop Express (a pretty good mobile version), The Weather Channel (it comes with a weather app pre installed but it's not that great), Shazam (identifies songs) and then the mobile versions of TextsFromLastNight and FMyLife. There's lots more too, just look around.
I have iPhone 3G, haven't jailbroken yet, might soon. The "places" on fb comes with the fb app.. some good apps: facebook -obv whatsapp - bbm for iphone kinda thing shazam - tells you what song is playing but you don't know the name remote - controls your itunes from your iphone yellow pages - self explanatory urbanspoon - gives restaurants near you, cool little search messenger - msn messenger on your iphone classic games: papi jump, tunnel, paper toss, traffic run, tap tap, topple
Not to sure if you're the gaming type, but either way I suggest getting the game called "Angry Birds". Ever since I got it, I couldn't stop playing it. Also here's another tip, find a good case for your phone, you don't wanna get any scratches the first day. (I learned my lesson the hard way.) And congrats, Iphones are awesome phones.
jailbrake for sure. and check out installous on cydia. its kinda illegal but basically it lets you download apps that are in the app store for free. Also if you have netflix now they put out an app that lets you watch your movies instantly on your phone over wifi or 3g which is great.
I just ordered an iPhone 4 too! Personally I'm leaning towards not jailbreaking it, just because I'd be worried about any issues that might result.
You are going to love the iphone4, esp if you are going to be using it for web browsing because the retina display is so crisp and awesome. I used to have a blackberry and that was caveman's technology compared to this. Some apps I recommend: Pandora Facebook Lookout Security - helps you locate your phone is lost or stolen, really cool Angry Birds - hours of fun, different than a lot of games Mint- manage your $ accounts Appshopper- helps you find reduced apps, better than most all app products. Tumblr- if you blog zentap- app to help you type faster and copy to text/email/clipboard I'd recommend jailbreaking because you can easily reset your phone if you need to send it in to get it fixed and there are so many things you can do for free like tethering from your phone to your laptop.
