Sean said:I noticed in 2.2.1 that when you switch tabs in mobile Safari, it doesn't reload/refresh the page you switch to anymore. Sweet
It never always refreshed, only if it had received a low memory warning since the last time you viewed the tab. Bet it still has to reload them, though maybe a little less frequently (dumping one cached page per warning instead of all of them maybe)

You know what though I've been carrying more of a static charge lately this winter. When I carry my iphone in my pocket and walk in my slacks sometime I can feel the static electricity and when I reach into my pocket the iphone has been switched on (like when you press the sleep/wake button).
I think it's the static electricity can this hurt the iphone (3G)?
edit: what about this? http://store.apple.com/us/product/TT822LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0NA&mco=MjQzNTE2Mg

Finally decided to jailbreak my 3g yesterday and i'm really glad I did. I'm using a Winterboard theme (same one as Zozz posted earlier) and I want to know how to change app icons, can anyone help me with that? I'm doing the whole SSH thing to access the iphone files but I have no idea what i'm doing wrong.
Example: I'm trying to change the Remote app icon. Is it named icon.png? I would assume it is and I copied over that with the new icon I made but the icon is still the same on my phone and won't change. Also, why can't I view the png files I copy to my pc from the app folder? Because not all apps have the icon named as "icon.png" and I can't even view the file to see if it is the icon or not. Total noob when it comes to this stuff.
edit: nvm figured it out.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
Jailbreak her...
So I'm confused about jailbreaking...
PwnageTool vs QuickPwn vs WinPwn? Are there any others? What's the difference?
Also, my 3g Iphone is brand new, so it has the latest firmware. Seems like there is a problem with unlocking on the latest version? I don't need to unlock tho..

Basically, you should be using QuickPwn unless you want to do custom firmwares or something fancy. You cannot jailbreak or unlock on the latest firmware yet. Check settings, general, about -> version.. if you're at 2.2(5g77) or below, you should be ok. 2.2.1 is the latest.

I don't think this has been mentioned in this iPhone thread yet but a game that has been getting a lot of attention in the Gaming iPhone thread lately is WordJong. There's an official thread in the gaming side too, check it out!
So, I checked out my new Iphone's firmware. It's apples 2.2(5g77). Will there be a problem jailbreaking it since it's not a custom firmware?
If there's no problem, I assume I follow these steps?

"If your iPhone 3G firmware Version is 2.2 (5G77) and Modem Firmware is 02.28.00 then you are ready to jailbreak your iPhone 3G, you can skip directly to "Jailbreak iPhone 3G using QuickPwn" below. "

did it work? Don't see any reason why it wouldn't except maybe the newest mac laptops win the latest osx update...DeathNote said:
Otherwise are there any page reload bookmarklets that can be installed on the iPhone?
And what would be the killer apps for a bigger iPhone/iPod touch or a mac tablet? An ebook reader? Drawing + handwriting recognition tech?
Arrrrrrghghghghhghgh. My iPhone won't sync with my machine.
It gets to the portion where it transfers the purchases from my phone back to iTunes, and the progress bar stops moving. Actually, that implies that it started moving. It doesn't. I've had it sitting there for over an hour now. I've googled and found nothing that's helped.
Anyone know what's going on? I've rebooted everything involved several times.

I have the same case. It really is awesome and helps to make your phone look a little different than the other 13 million iPhone out there.DeathNote said:
I would suggest turning off wifi and bluetooth when you are not using them as they kill the battery life. 3G is also a battery killer. It seems like the phone gets 2x as much battery life when not in a 3G area or when you turn it off.
If you live in a area that has a lot of 3G coverage I would suggest getting a cheap car charger (make sure it is made specifically for the 3G).
As for apps, I love the following: Amazon, NeoGAF (web app), ESPN (web app), Facebook, yelp, Where, Showtimes, The Weather Channel (web app), and I love the game Penguin lite.

Ultimate ears has a range of quality headphones with iphone clicker/ mics. (from $130 to $450!)
the new super.fi 5vi are awesome.
I had the v-moda vibes a while back but disliked them. very expensive for bassy sound with not much clarity.
there's also some good ones from etymotic (hf2).
there's also the apple in-ear models that are supposed to be quite good and are less than 100. they also have the clicker/ mic.

Good sound, has the button and mic, cheap price. I replaced the tips with these ones because I didn't really like the ones it came with.
I was going to ask GAF about this. My wife was interested in an iPhone but she is not interested in the data plan (I don't understand it either).NYR said:
Is it possible to do this with an unlocked 2G phone? She is already on AT&T, I just wanted to know if she could just slide in a sim card and have it working right out of the box.

check the goodness of the usb port on your machine. also, check the iph for oxidation over the device port - i had an ipt replaced for that - would charge, but would not sync at all, or would accidentally sync but really, really seldomly, often with hang-ups in the middle of the sync. and basically, a word of advice - take care of your iph/ipt device port, as that thing is the achilles heel of the series.White Man said:
So today I decided that I'm going to get an iPhone when my windfall of money comes in March. But I have a question.
I'm already in a contract with AT&T, not up for upgrade until 4/30, but I'll be able to buy the phone in the 1st or 2nd week of March. Since I have to sign a new 2 year deal anyway, do I have to wait until then, or can I get it in March?
thx!

Guys, really stupid question.
How do turn this thing off at night? I don't need it on at night at all - just wondering how to shut it off - is it off when it is in the "stand by" mode or a real turn off when you hold it down and then do the slide to power it off?
Just wondering if there is any disadvantage to the full power off every day - just noticed it takes awhile to load whn I turned it on if I power down.
Also, any auto on and auto off mode like my old blackberry pearl?

Ok. I updated to 2.2.1 the other day. Tonight I've been browsing GAF using the Neogaf app for over 2 hours and I haven't had one crash. I've been going in and out of various threads, even heavy picture laden ones like the Hot Women thread and the January desktop thread. I actually think Apple finally got Safari stable on this thing. This phone just keeps better and better.
