I have an iPhone 3GS 32GB.
Version: 3.1(7C144).
Modem Firmware: 05.11.07.
As per different threads I used BlackRaIn and performed the JailBreak Process. I was able to see GeoHot logo and I got a message saying, the jailbreak process will be done once its rebooted. After Rebooting, I don't see a BlackRaIn icon at all. I ran this process again and same thing, I don't see BlackRaIn icon.
I didn't get any errors and everything went smooth. Now in order for me to unlock, I wanted to install Snow but since I dont see the BlackRaIn icon I dont know how to proceed. Did I perform the correct steps and did I use the correct software(BlackRaIn). Appreciate if some one could shed some light for unlocking my device further.
It is an undisputed fact that I can store a LOT more audio on my 3.2GB 3GS (on O/S 3.1.3) than I can on my new iPhone 4 32GB. I mean a LOT less - like 20%.
I loaded the EXACT same settings, apps and songs into the iPhone 4 using a 3GS backup. Absolutely no difference. When I tried to syncronize the first time, it loaded the settings fine until it started to copy the songs over. I got an error message saying there was not enough room. I was going to be 3GB short! Yes, I lost 3GB of available audio storage on my iPhone 4 32GB vs 3GS 32GB.
I cancelled this operation and looked at the total "available" capacity of each device. The iPhone 4 was at 29.1GB and the 3GS was at 29.3 - the iPhone 4 obviously reserves slightly more for OS 4, but not significant enough to account for the 3GB less music storage.
I thought the error message might be a fluke, so I loaded my audio in little chunks until I reached capacity, and sure enough, I could load about 20% less songs than in my 3GS.
So what's up here? It makes no sense to me. One thing to note is that I'm using the on-the-fly 128 kbps conversion option (checkbox on the "summary" page when syncing). Since I copied over most songs on my 3GS when I was using iTunes 9.1 and OS 3.1.3, it could be that iTunes 9.2 (maybe in combination with OS 4) has a less efficient conversion routine when converting a 256 kpbs song to 128 kpbs. Or maybe OS 4 is reserving more space per song for some reason.
Has anyone else experienced this? This is a MAJOR deal for me since I already was VERY disappointed that their was no 64GB phone, and now it's even WORSE because I have to unload ANOTHER 20% on my music!
I have got a 3GS, 3.1.2 (blackrain JB), 05.11.07, unlocked but on official carrier (O2 in the UK).but, my push notifications aren't working (push email is working, just not push notifications, facebook, ebay etc)what options do I have to try to get these working again? full restore from back up? (settings - Reset, then restore from back up)upgrade to 3.1.3 then use spirit JB?
Im new to these forums so bare with me while i try to explain my problem. I created a new thread because i dont think anyone has done something as stupid as i have ... although if there is one you can redirect me to with a problem exactly like this then do that by all means
I've been running an iphone 3GS with firmware 3.1.2. jailbroken with blackrain and unlocked for quite a while now and its been working great.Although recently i jailbroke my friends ipod touch with spirit, and seeing how easy this was i decided to give it a go with my phone (i backed up before hand so if things turned sour i could just restore and reload my data).
After i tried this spirit jailbreak, the phone entered recovery mode so it obviously didnt work. But the problem now is that when i try to restore it via itunes to 3.1.2. i get an error message which is something along the lines of "The iPhone could not be restored because the device isnt eligible for the requested build".
So seeing as i couldnt restore it to factory settings this way, i tried re-jailbreaking it using blackra1n which i have used before as mentioned. However when i do this now it seems to look like its working (the guys face comes up) but when it reboots it just slips back into recovery mode and blackrain automatically tries to jailbreak it again. This cycle repeats itself indefinately.
So basically my iphone is in limbo as i can no longer restore it to factory settings due to the firmware error and i cant jailbreak it because blackrain is no longer doing it for me (ive tried re-downloading blackrain, and doing it on a different pc to no avail).
Im not one who feels they need to put their entire music/iTunes collection on their phone. I will probably have no more than 1GB worth of music at any one time. If Im feeling conflicted maybe another 1GB but doubtful. As far as videos I wont have more than a few on there. Maybe another 1GB or 2. As far as apps, I highly doubt I would ever get more than 100 apps at once and from what I understand, outside of GPS apps, they are all pretty much 10MB or less. So at a 100 apps maybe another 1GB there. Lets say I buy a GPS app that takes up 2GB. So Ive got 1GB in music, 1GB of videos, 1GB of Apps and a 2GB GPS app. Ive used 5GB and I would have somewhere between 10GB and 11GB left.
Now lets talk about photos. I wont really load anything more than some wallpapers but when I start taking photos (and videos) I wont let them pile up for too long without moving them to my MacBook. So if I have several hundred photos on the iPhone at any one time, lets say 1GB to 2GB used.
Would I be fine in this scenario? Or should I go for 32GB? So I may get down to 8GB free, maybe less if I let stuff build up more. Would you find this acceptable for your use?
I currently own a 16GB 3GS and have the following memory breakdown: 1.25 GB Audio 600 MB Video 400 MB Photos 6.25 GB Apps 8 GB Free
I was originally thinking that I'd just get a 16 GB IPhone 4 but then I got to wondering whether, with the higher resolution display, the video & apps would be significantly larger size files. For instance, will TomTom be 2.5GB instead of 1.25GB? And HD videos?
I currently have a 32 GB 3Gs. Honestly if it wasn't for the 14 movies I have on it, I would barely top out 5 GB. I'm thinking since I have a 32 GB iPad, I should be okay. If I want to watch movies portable, I'll bring my iPad. It's easier on the eyes than watching on an iPhone, especially when you're riding in the back of the car and the road is bumping that little screen up and down. Am I crazy for thinking this way? Economy is bad, money's tight, 16GB is all the wife will allow me right now.
I have both reserved, but am unsure if I should go for the bigger capacity or not? I currently have a 3GS of which there is about 8.2gb free. Thing is, with the iPhone having HD videos, 5mp photos and probably apps that will take a bit more memory. Should I opt for the 32gb or will 16gb be more than enough for my usage?
I called 5 different places and they only have 32GB. I wanted the IPhone 4 16Gb but I don't want to wait anymore. Its only $100 more. Did anybody else just get the 32Gb cause they where all out of 16's?
Just bought IPhone 4 cheap figuring I'd fix it & make a quick buck. The screen is black. I've replaced screen but still same problem. The seller says he dropped it. Could it be water damage.
Upgrade to IOS 5.1 deleted all my received email on my iPhone and iTunes doesn't backup email. I can fix that just by resending all the messages from PC email client so nothing actually lost in this case.
However, my immediate issue is that I don't see a Mail option anywhere when I go into Settings. My previous mail account is still there and does actually send A forward from iCloud also works so it looks like I can receive at that previous mail account on the iPhone. But how do I get to a screen that will allow me to add/delete/modify mail accounts?
I am using IPhone 8GB (First gen) and am getting IPhone 4. I was almost decided on 16GB till my friends told me that 5 megapixel photos will be much larger than 2 megapixel ones. Also HD video will be large. I am only using 5GB out of my 8GB phone now. I have 3GB of music and about 600 pictures on my phone. And yes about 150 applications. I don't need movies or TV shows. So just for Higher resolution pics and video, do I need 32GB over 16GB?
When I compare my 16gb 3G vs a 32gb 3GS, the 3GS is much thicker then my 3G, so that begs the question; will the 32GB iPhone 4 be thicker than the 16GB?
I'm currently using a 3g 8gb iPhone however, I was hoping for a 64gb iPhone to fully replace my iPod as a external drive. However, 64gb do not exist and it's likely I'll probably get an iPhone 4gs / 5 next June. So, should I save probably £100 and just get the 16gb iPhone and use smart playlists? Or should I get a 32gb and hope that I can get some of the value back on the resale?
I am still using an iPhone 3G, but plan to upgrade to the iPhone 4 on launch day. I currently use only about 1GB of space on my iPhone 3G (8GB). That said, I don't have HD video on my 3G or a 5mp camera (and I take a decent amount of photos with my phone and I can expect I'll take even more since the camera is much improved on the iP4). For the average user that is a little "snap happy" with photos and plans to take HD video clips here and there. Do you guys think 16GB will be enough? I probably will store very little music on there since I use my iPod Nano for all of my music.
I think I am going to return my 16gb IP4 for the 32gb. I figured if I am going to be stuck with another 2 years (or 1.5yrs). I might as well have the max I can get now. Will it be a problem to exchange?
I've been an iP4 owner for a little while now. I heard that there is a 30 day return policy regardless of minutes used on the phone (I know usually it's 30 minutes or 30 days). I was wondering since I'd like to take a lot of pictures and maybe record some video (not a lot I suppose) should I swap out for the 32GB before my 30 days comes up? The extra $100 is kinda keeping me from doing it.
Ive been trying to get this phone of my friends into DFU mode so I can check the boot on it, but it wont seem to go. Also, once your in that mode, can you get back out and use the phone as normal? I tried it on my 16GB model and it worked. He just bought it, its running same modem firmware, OS, everything as mine. But I cant figure out what JB option to go with for him.
I use the RC3, but donno if it will work for him. I have a serial # and was wondering if that would help in finding out this info because I know some dates of phones will still work. This does NOT require an unlock to work.
I am having serious issue with my iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.0.1 (9A405) When I am at place where network is poor and make or receive call, It works but after few minutes it restarts automatically. I have searched on the internet but no luck. I thought that it was os problem, so, I have upgraded from 4.0.1 to 5.0.1, But still problems persists.
