I know there's a few IPhone users on here and I picked mine up yesterday...

Im currently trying to find decent software for converting ringtones and video files, but is there any decent free software? I dont mind paying for an all-in-one package, but Apple dont seem to do one.

Also, what applications are worth downloading on the phone?
Any help would be appreciated

Been tempted for a while, but decided yesterday to go get it Ive gotta wait for it to be activated tho Didn't tell you cause I aint seen you

Mr Shannon

I haven't downloaded any apps for mine yet except the facebook one that's pretty shit to be fair.

Videora is what I use for converting vids but you may struggle with ringtones, I've still not worked them out yet. I think it's pretty shit that you can't just select a ringtone from your memory!

Ive found a bit of software thats good for ringtones (Cuts them down to 30secs and sends them straight to ITunes, but if there's something that does all-in-one I would rather that

Cheers Mr S, will download that programme now

Cheers bro Im trying to upload Drivers From Hell as a few people from Sunday wanted to see it lol

Ive converted it to Mp4 thanks to Mr S's software and it shows up in the Moives tab in ITunes, but wont go onto the IPhone

Get the Dynolicious software for the iPhone.... in essence a G-Tech meter on your phone... some say way better than then the G-Tech and without the pricetag...

Cheers CBP, but how actually accurate would it be? Ok it maybe able to read speed, etc from the GPS, but HorsePower?? Anyone got this on their IPhone already??

Ryan

there is a site that has loads of ringtones already uploaded and adapted for the iphone will have to send the link when I get home as I'm out at the moment, ironically typing this from the iPhone it's awesome!

Mr Shannon

That's what I'm posting off also lol.

Fletch, I asume your trying to drag and drop your video file, you have to synchronize them instead.

How much is this app we're talking about, also, anybody have any decent games?

Cheers Ryan, would be appreciated My IPhone has to wait to be setup apparently as I brought it from Car Phone Warehouse and O2 haven't got it registered that Ive upgraded It connects to the net, but only in range of a known wireless network

Mr S, Ive tried "Sync" and Ive uploaded 400+ tunes and 300 photo's already But the "Movie" won't sync with the IPhone. Will work it out when I get time lol

cbp

There is more in the iPhone that just the GPS..

Itunes will make ringtones for you from any song you have on your computer - for free! It's long winded, but if it's a song you already have and you can't find a ringtone version or want a specific custom one, then it's usefull to know.

As for apps; unlock it and expirience what the iphone can really do

FletchCossie

CBP, will give that a watch later, cheers

Cheers Thrush, I will read that later and see what I can come up with How do I get it unlocked? and what can it "Really Do" lol

I should say "jailbreak" it if your's is a 3G handset (guessing it is) as you can't unlock these yet

It still cracks me up about people who don't know what the iPhone can and can't do. I'll be the first to aggree it's missing major tricks from standard, but I've got a guy at work who's loves blackberry's and loves to slate the iphone, so today he see's I have one and starts off;

HIM - They're rubbish, my blackberry is so much better - yours can't even forward text messages!

ME - Err, yes it can

HIM - Well it can't do MMS messages

ME - Yes it can

HIM - No zoom on your camera tho!

ME - No, it DOES have zoom

HIM - Can't take video's tho!

ME - Yes it can

HIM - Err.....

I have an Iphone already jailbroken but on 1.1.4 software will the above work to enable meto get the 2.0.1 software as i havent worked out how to do this yet?!

Cheers

Thrush

iTrader: (1)

Kris - you need to update the iphone using iTunes to get the current 2.1 firmware (2.0.1 and 2.0.2 are old now). This will relock and unjailbreak it.

You then use the above links to unlock it and jailbreak it again, but this time on 2.1 firmware.

I am pretty sure you need to be on the PROPER iTunes installed 2.1 BEFORE you use the above unlock proceedure

@ Thrush... My Mrs is thinking of not buying an IPhone cause it can't do everything you mentioned How the hell do I get it to do all that lol

Kris_23

Cheers this is the problem i've had pretty sure is something I didnt want to hear

I dont want to brick my phone Ive been wanting this done since the new software came out but can't seem to find anyone that has actually done this. Not even definate answers/info on the net.

Thrush

Jailbreak it, then use Cydia (installs during jailbreak) to install SwirlyMMS, Snapture, iRealSMS, and Cycorder

whats so special about iphones? what do they do different from all the other phones on the market?

Thrush

iTrader: (1)

LOADS have done it. I just did it - my 2G phone is on 2.1 firmware, is jailbroken and unlocked to T-Mobile

Ask here for better info that I can give - I'm fairly new to the whole jailbreaking and firmware updating game;

There's nothing inherently special about it as such - there are other touchscreen multimedia phones on the market that can browse the net etc.

But what I love about it, is the WAY it does what it does. The mobile version of Apples OS X just, well, works. It's slick and fast, mobileSafari is a joy to use, I love how countless webpages are automatically reformated to "iphone" pages (for optimisation(sp) of the browser) and how full web pages can be fully displayed (when I browse PF on my iPhone I can have it show exactly what it would show if using Safari on a Mac or IE on a PC)

I love it's mail client, which coming from a Gmail user, is saying something! Most mail clients are nightmares for gmail users, but Mail just well, works really.... Tho I do miss my gmail loading in conversations like it does in the web browser - but then I can access that fine from mobileSafari anyway - in full page or "iphone mode"

I like it's shortcuts, I like the apps, I love how it looks, I like it's intergration between contact info and email/sms/mms/pics/web pages, I like it's size, the feel of it, the customisation (after you jailbreak it )

I just like it really As I think a lot do......

Kris_23

Thanks appreciate the advice and link.

But did you have it jailbroken on 1.1.4 before you had to update to 2.1?

I bought mine new but already Jailbroken in March and have had it on Vodafone since then.

I know it is possible to have it Jailbroken on 2.1 but its the process of updating to 2.1 from a jailbroken 1.1.4 phone that i'm unsure about!!

Thrush

iTrader: (1)

No, I bought mine already on 2.1 - I just unlocked it an jailbroke it onto it's existing 2.1

Hence why I said ask on there as they know far more than me about upgrading etc...

Can't have been new tho if it was already jailbroken? Or do you mean new, THEN you jailbroke it?

Kris_23

Bought it from good old ebay from a well recommended seller was Brand new other than being taken out box to be unlocked.

Cheers though will ask on the forum.

Tho to be fair, there are things I don't like about it....

I don't like the battery life - 1 day! Tho in defence, it's the older iPhone and I use it a LOT

I don't like how it's tied to iTunes for EVERYTHING! You can't put anything on it without iTunes - contacts, pictures, music, apps etc.... Tho again in defence, with the right apps (even "legal" ones from the App Store) you can set it up as a wifi hard disk and put all sorts of stuff on it over a wifi network without using iTunes - same when using it with SSH, after jailbreaking

I don't like that as standard it doesn't do MMS, forwarding texts, video recording, no camera zoom.

I still don't like that it doesn't have Java or full Flash support - tho so far only one thing has failed to work in that region and that was a video on facebook, so not like the end of the world YouTube, Youporn, BBC iPlayer etc all work fine

I don't like that the Bluetooth isn't worth a wank - I've not turned it on once since I got it It's pointless unless you have a Parrot system in car, or you're a knob that wears bluetooth ear pieces

I HATE that it doesn't support copy n paste text! FFS Apple!

But I still love it

very very good

I found this when i first got it and a search on google found me some tips to prolong the battery life.

Cant remember them all but things like turning down the brightness and not having the email always automatically checking for new email this really does rinse the battery just check it yourself when ever you need to.

Search on it though mine lasts a couple of days.

Ryan

as above mine last 2 days easy, but i guess you must live on your thrush.

Thrush, just done all that mate and downloaded them files thanks Anything else you can recommend??

Thrush

iTrader: (1)

I'm quite a heavy user when it comes to texting etc, and email is on 15min fetch, so thats not helping.... But it's also a bit of a toy at the mo as it's new (to me) so I can't help playing with it lol)

Been quite good today tho - only half battery gone (so far )

Thrush

iTrader: (1)

Not yet as I'm fairly new to it myself.... Tho I hear Winterboard is worth a go as it lets you customise it with custom docks, backgrounds, icons, and change settings like message alert tones etc...

what are the warranty implications of jailbreaking an iphone?,can firmware 2.1 be JBroken? and is it foolproof cos i dont wanna fook up me iphone?

Thrush

iTrader: (1)

Warrenty isn't a problem as far as I know as you can just restore the phone to a non-jailbroken state (make a back up of the original state before jailbreaking then you can restore in iTunes) and yes 2.1 can be broken - mines on 2.1 and unlocked and jailbroken...

See links above I supplied for it...

Hello people

I've got an iPhone 2G and I've upgraded/jailbroken/unlocked every firmware since 1.1.4.
Upgraded to 2.0, then 2.0.1, and last week 2.1.

Its really simple, download the 2.1 firmware as a file, bootloader 3.6 and 4.2 files, and get yourself over to http://blog.iphone-dev.org, and read the section "Redmond, we have a pwnapple".

Looks like firmware 2.2 is imminent!

As for "bricking" your iphone, its 100% impossible. There are tools to get it back should the worst happen, so dont worry
