Hans — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 22:07:52 +0000

You can jailbreak iOS 4.0.1, despite the new iOS 4.0.1 update Apple released today. It appears that the redsn0w 0.9.5 beta 5 software works on iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G. You currently cannot jailbreak iOS 4.0.1 on iPhone 4 yet.

First get the iOS 4.0.1 download, and then see the iOS 4.0.1 jailbreak post.

The iOS 4.0.1 jailbreak is easy to perform. If you are on iPhone 4, you will just have to wait for the iOS 4.1 jailbreak to come out.

Apple released the iOS 4.0.1 download for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G users today.

The update just changes the formula which Apple uses to calculate the signal strength on iPhones. The new signal bars are slightly bigger than the ones in the previous iOS 4 firmware.

Whether or not Apple has really resolved the reception issue iPhone 4 owners were experiencing is still a mystery. If you are an iPhone 4 owner, please do let us know in comments if the iOS 4.0.1 update fixes any issues.

Verizon iPhone 4G Release Date Could Be January 2011

Hans — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:00:05 +0000

Verizon iPhone 4G Release Date could possible come in January 2011, if the latest Verizon iPhone rumors are true. This latest Verizon iPhone rumor comes from a reporter on Bloomberg. Now, it does seem true because a Verizon President has already said a Verizon iPhone will happen.

According to the Bloomberg reporter, AT&T’s exclusive contract ends with Verizon next year and a Verizon iPhone 4G will launch in January 2011.

There have been so many Verizon iPhone Release Date rumors, so I’d recommend you to take this latest one with a grain of salt.

Verizon iPhone 4G Release Date Will Be A Reality

Hans — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 19:30:10 +0000

Verizon iPhone 4G Release Date will be a reality, and no, this is not a rumor. It’s not a question of whether or not Verizon will get the iPhone, it’s just a question of when the release date will happen. A Verizon regional representative in Baltimore, Washington, Virginia area said that the Verizon iPhone is inevitable.

Many iPhone users were really hoping for a Verizon iPhone this year. Sadly their wish was shattered when Apple only launched the new iPhone on AT&T. Thankfully, this latest bit of news of Verizon iPhone coming on Verizon Wireless will make these people all happy.

The unfortunate part is that we don’t know any official release date for the Verizon iPhone. We just know that AT&T and Apple both had an agreement until 2012. The agreement is rumored to have been canceled, but as you may already know, rumors don’t turn out to be true most of the times.

iPhone 4G Problems: iPhone 4 Reception Issues, iPhone 4 Activation, and iPhone OS 4

Hans — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 05:57:29 +0000

The iPhone 4G is Apple’s latest product, which launched today. Unfortunately it has problems which need to be fixed. Here is a list of the problems:

iPhone 4G Reception Issues – When holding the iPhone 4 in a certain position, it seems like the signal goes down. Some claim it’s a hardware issue, while others think it’s a software issue.
iPhone 4 Activation – Some iPhone users report getting an error message on iTunes when trying to activate iPhone 4. This can be fixed by either restarting iTunes or restarting your computer.
iPhone 4G OS4 Privacy issues - Now this one may not even be true at all, but Gizmodo and other tech blogs talked about it. Some employee named “Alpha” claims that Apple sends OTA updates to check if iPhone users are using a carrier other than AT&T in the US, if that’s the case then the phone is locked until the customer updates OTA and uses AT&T. Read about it here.

These problems must be addressed by Apple. If you are an iPhone 4G user experiencing any other problems not listed here, let us know in the comments!

Hans — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 18:37:08 +0000

Verizon will announce Motorola Droid X tomorrow, June 23. June 23 is also the unofficial iPhone 4G Release Date because Apple will be shipping iPhone 4G Pre Orders to some customers on that day. Motorola sure picked a bad time to announce their new series of Droid phone.

The Droid X hardware has a 4.3 inch screen, just like Sprint’s HTC EVO 4G. It also has a HDMI output, and takes pictures in 720p. That’s all Verizon has revealed about this phone so far.

The Droid X is expected to be announced along with the new Motorola Droid 2 during a special conference tomorrow.
