hey, I am thinking of getting myself an iPhone 3gs. the only dilemma i'm facing that what if apple releases their next gen iPhone(4g?) for the same price in a few months compared to the current iPhone 3gs pricing?

yes, there's been rumors of them releasing the next iPhone in summer 2010, but what do you guys think of the pricing in Malaysia. also to consider, availability, will we need to wait a couple of months for it to be available here?

all things considered, is it worth the wait if my budget is the current pricing of 3gs?(and how much cheaper 3gs will be when 4g is out..)

ugh.. so hard to make a decision, help! lol

(my main concern is pricing. i'm pretty certain on getting a 3GS even if the 4g comes out, but will it be worth the wait..)

guys,

after fixing the auto on-off problem with my iphone 2g, i'm having another prob with the screen itself. it is too sensitive where the key was pressed when my finger get near to the screen (i haven't touch the key yet!!).

it only happens to the middle part of the screen (key 5 on dial pad). it is very annoying when composing SMS.

any helps will be great.

thanks.

This is a difficult question to answer. The melei saying goes - tepuk dada tanya selera.

Apple WILL release a newer phone sometime.
So will Nokia, SE, Samsung etc. If you wanna wait for the latest and greatest you'll end up owning nothing.

Owning a 3GS I'm happy. Maybe I'll even change to the 4G in 2 years or so - but that's just me. Will the 3GS price drop? Maybe. How much? I'm guessing not by much - because right now Apple is bound to Maxis, and they will ensure they milk every single sen out of you and me.

So yeah, if you wanna have an awesome phone right now, get a 3GS. If you want it cheaper, call back in maybe 18 months or so.

Hi there everyone, do you guys still have the solution to the problem of "call ended and call failed" after dialing a number? I experience that so many time these days that I am getting frustrated with my phone. I search for the solutions online and manage to find out that you have to switch your caller ID to ON. But how do you guys do it? I can't switch on!

Hi there!
I just got an iPhone 3G but it has a broken housing.

My question is, anyone changed one before?
How much does it cost usually? Original or OEM?

Does OEM ones fit well? Do they last long?

Just wanna get really sure before I go ahead in fixing it.

Thanks!

Hi. I wanna ask.

Is there a way to STOP/BLOCK my iPhone from using my 3G/GPRS when the WiFi is not available? In normal phones I'm able to tamper with the settings but I'm lost with this iPhone.
Almost RM30 of mine already gone because sometimes I forgot to on WiFi before surfing. sad.gif

Please advice.

frm cydia, make sure u hv sbs n the new data toggle..
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


then, go to more, set toggles, turn on data..
note, turning this on doesnt mean tat u r turning data on or off...it is just turning the toggle on or off to apprear at the sbs main page..
once u on tat, just press the home button, n it wud say setting language or smting like tat..
then open sbs again n u'll see a data toggle thr..tap on it to turn it off...it wud become red, means off...
once u do this.. ur 3g on or nt, ur edge on or nt doesnt matter...coz ur data wud nt work at alll.
u r done...smile.gif

After about a year of using various methods to get it to work right, there is now a Data Toggle for SBSettings. The problem with disabling data (EDGE) is discussed in my post from last July. Today, Anderson Vulczak contacted me with a working solution to both disable and reenable Data on 3.0 iPhone OS. So we quickly put together a Data toggle and put it into Cydia. In short, this solution sets a bogus IP address, (1.1.1.0) to your data adapter’s IP address. This seems to kill EDGE / 3G without any battery drain issues reported in using other methods such as entering a bad APN.

I recommend that anyone that needs to disable Data use this rather than the EDGE toggle. The toggle should work also with BossPrefs as well.

We are calling this “Data” toggle because when it is off, it should kill the data connection entirely. 3g can be on and you will not be able to access your internet via your provider’s data connection. You will notice you get an IP address, but it is a bogus one that we assign (1.1.1.0).

The only downside is that to reenable data, we have to kill commcenter which can freeze the device for up to 15 seconds. (Should come back to life after that though).

Hi all,

Has anyone used this software called CopyTrans Manager to manage iPhone songs, contents, etc, instead of using iTunes? http://www.iphone-without-itunes.com/ I did a search on this forum for copytrans manager but didn't find any results.

Just wondering if the software works well.. and i'm afraid there'll be problems if i subsequently go back to using iTunes
