I would like to use my (AT&T) 4s with my Tmobile sim card, which is the best "piggyback" sim card:

Rebel Sim or Gevey Sim ?

My 4s has 5.0 f/w and 1.0.11 modem. Its already jailbroken. Ready and waiting:

EDIT: Well I got the Gevey after reading about problems with the Rebel sim. I am now using my phone on T Mobile.

If anyone has any questions about these interposer sims, let me know. I'll try to answer as best as possible.

Why don't you try straight talk? You can use that sim on a locked phone and have unlimited everything including 3G data for $45 a month. I just setup a couple phones likes this.

I'm afraid to sync my iPhone with iTunes. There I said it. I f'ing hate iTunes, but if you have a iPhone its kinda like a necessary evil. I like to manage everything manually, always have always will. From music to videos to apps, I dictate how things get on and off the device.

I do understand the need to occasionally sync, not everything can be manually dragged on and off the device (new contacts, notes, app data...ect). So I try and only sync about once per week and now is the time (the first for my new 4s).

What can I do to be sure, REALLY f'ING SURE, that iTunes won't try and copy my entire app library (which won't fit) onto the device, OR delete apps that I've downloaded on the phone, by using the phone? I have it set to manually manage but for some fu{king god damn Kunt Fcuk reason iTunes still messes up....

Sorry, Im mad when I think of iTunes. god damnitt

Plug it in the computer and cancel the sync by clicking on the x. That's it. That's what I do. Everything else is backed up on iCloud.

More Apple questions. This time on my 4S. After an absolute nightmare trip to the UK that I specifically bought the 4S for and only had service about 5% of the time for the first week and then absolutely ZERO service for the next 2 weeks, I had to restore it as I couldn't even get service after I returned to the US.

The restore got the phone working again, but an odd abnormality has developed since restoring.

I've got 4 email accounts on my phone. 1 for work and 1 each for my 3 girlfriends. 2 of the accounts on the phone get a fair amount of email and the other 2 get almost none. I have the default "ding" in the sounds portions of the settings for email and "ding" is only assigned to "New Mail"

The problem I'm having is that the damn thing DINGS all day long, but I don't get any mail. I know when a ding is an actual mail because it will ding/vibrate twice in the span of about 5 seconds. SO my days go like this lately. I'll get a dozen "single" dings an hour and about a half dozen "double dings" an hour that are honest emails.

Anyone have any idea what might be going on? This didn't happen before my trip and I'm fairly certain my settings are the same. I will admit that through work I have 2 "rules" that automatically move specific emails to specific folders and I think this may be causing all these dings that don't result in any mail in my inbox, but the folders that these mails end up in aren't pushed to my phone and these rules have been in place since the day my work email was added to my phone and I've never been notified of these emails before.

Man up and get ATT!

No, I don't know what the problem is, but my iPhone 4 (nonS) and new iPad have been giving me a similar issue. Notifications sounds and nothing to tell me what the notification is for. It sucks.

[jerk]

The PayPal app does this on my phone, but that's the only app I have that makes noise without a corresponding notification.

[KeiCar]

I had a very similar issue like yours but on android, not iPhone... sorry.

I can see how having 3 girlfriends is confusing. Perhaps you need to go into Notificqations and change all the options to unique tones so you can figure out what the alert is. Each app or utility should give you options for which tone is played and if and how a notification is displayed on the screen.

[Savvv]

Who's he fooling? Three fuddies is more like it. No sane man would put up with 3 emotional relationships at the same time.

And might I add that if you require a different email account for each g/f (don't even wanna know what for), step your game up and keep your phone in your pocket lol.

[Matt]

Wow, you guys don't get sarcasm do you?

Diamond Dave, I'll follow your suggestion and see what that turns up. Thanks for the help!

I juggle 2 occasionally, so I didn't think it was that far fetched...

I don't currently have email as part of the notification center and I'm not seeing how to change the notification sound for anything other than "new mail".

I've added mail to the notification center and am still not seeing anything. Is there a way to set up a different new mail notification sound for each account?

[SpiffyGTI]

Ask Siri.

[efrie]

Well, I've made the switch... From iOS to Android.

If anyone wants an iPhone 4 let me know, I've still got it.

[dk58]

I'm going to post this in the iPad thread as well, but does anybody know where I can get a cheap 30 pin to hdmi adapter? I'm going to be traveling a lot in a few weeks and I'd like to pick one up.

Ah, now I see what you're talking about. I thought Text and Email were co-mingled under the tone preferences within notifications; they're not

[KeiCar]

I switch back and forth all the time... Like a see-saw. I recently got a 4S so I am playing with that, however ice cream sandwich is now available for my android phone (one of them) and has been for sometime so there are a bunch of good 3rd party roms available. So tomorrow I'll probably switch back to using the SGS2 for a while. I'll try and keep that and the 4S for as long as possible, or until the true successor to the Galaxy S2 comes out... S3???

Oh and a question. How do I suppress the "Software Update" icon, withoutupdating? I have 5.0 and plan on keeping it that way. As of now, there is a "1" next to my settings all the time and I want rid of it. Certainly there has to be something in cydia by now...

here you go.

Anyone having a problem with quick scroll to top on wikipedia pages on their iPhone? I can quick scroll to the top on every webpage but not on any wikipedia page

[Das Pike]

Can't say that I have. Then again I use Articles for all my wiki searching.

Phone was starting to get bogged down and just overall run a bit slow. Performed a factory restore last night and it's nice and crisp again. Gotta love having Dropbox and iCloud now, makes things so much easier than before. Should hold me over until the 5

[dk58]

Anybody know the best place to get replacement glass/LCD/digitizer assembly for my Verizon iPhone 4? Phone fell out of my pocket today and the screen shattered.

[DarkSideGTI]

When does everyone think the 5 is coming out? June or September? I'm hoping for June as I don't think I can take this Samsung Galaxy S any longer.

There are probably people who advertise that service on your local Craigslist. If you want to do it yourself, try iFixit. There are certainly cheaper parts on Ebay, but it's more a gamble on quality.

Replacing the digitizer looks like a PITA, so I'd want someone who does it frequently.

[zhenya00]

Almost certainly September. We'd have more leaks if it were June, as the supply chain would have to be in high gear by now.

[dk58]

I saw a few people suggest ebay, which I am a little hesitant to do. From what I understand, if I buy the who front piece with the digitizer and LCD attached to the glass it won't be too hard. I'm sure somebody else knows if that's true or not. I was hoping the Apple store would do a courtesy replacement, but nobody in the store was having any of it.

[DarkSideGTI]

Unless they learned their lesson from previous leaks.

[zhenya00]

I'm of the opinion that Apple has gotten too big to effectively seal against leaks anymore. For one, the stakes are too high for the low-wage workers who they have no choice but to give early access to products. Even if no one worker sees the entire thing, it only takes a couple out of tens or hundreds of thousands of factory workers to each reveal a separate piece.

In addition, even without seeing the actual device, inferences can be drawn from things like work schedules and the fact that Apple needs to book basically ALL of the air freight room from China to the US for a product launch. Those clues can't be covered up.

[KeiCar]

here you go.

Thanks but that didn't work.

Is the original Galaxy S that bad? I enjoyed mine back in the day. If your comparing it to modern day phones, well thats silly so don't' to that, but its still not a slow device. Try perhaps a root & rom install, might wake the phone back up.

[Bird]

Haven't used a Galaxy, but the HTC (work cell) makes me want to jump off a bridge.

I don't think they intend to keep everything sealed up anyways. That whole "engineer left his iPhone 4 in a bar" story...maybe it did happen that way on accident. But, whatever the leak, it's 100% free advertising for Apple. Get's people hyped and in line to buy the phone on opening day. Droid had to make million dollar superbowl commercials to get people excited about their product.

Sorry but Apple is the last company to compare advertising budgets to. They could probably bankrole a medium country with theirs.

It is that bad. Locks up when I try to go into the gallery and I have to pull the battery. Most games are pretty much unplayable because they lock up all the time. Apps are the same, if I launch the facebook app it will lock up for a good 2-3 minutes before it displays anything. As for loading a custom rom, I was going to do that, but the only thing the USB cable does is charge the phone. I have tried 3 different computers and numerous cables and none will detect the phone at all.

[Savvv]

That wasn't my point. Obviously they have commercials for all their products. But leading up to the release of the 4, there wasn't anything but the leaked test unit that gizmodo or whoever got their hands on. They didn't use commercials to hype the product.

apple has never really advertised anything till it's officially announced
