The iPhone thread

iPhones almost ready to begin blackmail campaign

After it was discovered that iPhones have been keeping track of everywhere you go without your knowledge, a spokesperson for the devices said they were just about ready to start asking for money to keep quiet about it.

Hackers have found a secret unencrypted file on the device, which when opened will show anyone all of those special places you visit but don’t want anyone to know about.

It is expected that monetary demands will begin arriving in the coming days, with some of the most lucrative marks to be contacted first.

A spokesperson for the network of iPhone devices said, “I have to say that the evidence we have against you is pretty damning.”

“We know where you’ve been, who you’ve called, who you’ve messaged, what you’ve taken photographs of. *All the really valuable stuff, you know? It would be a real shame if your wife found out, if you know what I’m saying.”

“What? Did you think we’d just let you go about your business, using us whenever you felt like it, and hope we wouldn’t take a few notes along the way? What sort of naive moron are you?”

Anyone aware of any issues with the new white iPhone 4 16GB on Vodafone dropping out WiFi connection with Virginmedia Superhub? Superhub works just fine with HTC Desire and Acer laptop. The wife now has the latest iPhone and it seems to lose connection every 5 to 10 minutes. Any suggestion will be greatly received.

Resolved issue by changing the wireless channel from 13 to 11.

So I got my old iPhone 2g back from my dad last night.

I've been playing with it and setting it up with a (possible) view of giving it to my boy.

As it is carrier locked to AT&T I have jailbroken it to 3.1.3 which is the last firmware for that phone I believe.

I got push notification working - sorted youtube and even got it to work in stereo through bluetooth.

The only niggle I'm having at the moment is I want it to 'ding' more times when there's a text message waiting. Does anyone know if there's a jailbreak app for that?

Cheers - Dilli.

p.s. any idea of other jailbreak stuff to install woud be nice (I put sbsettings on and winterboard)

yup, 3.1.3 is the last for the 2g, I would suggest a couple of themes, some games and whatsapp messenger (Cross platform sort of blackberry messenger thing)

Thank you

I know it's an old out of date iPhone (2g) but I have been busy jailbreaking it and seeing what it CAN do rather than what apple thinks it can do

Apple say you can't run multitasking / wallpapers / folders on the original iPhone.

Some techy people have got together and released a modified 3.1.3 firmware which can do just that (as well as a few other tweaks).

I have attached a couple of piccys to show what I mean.

If you have an old iPhone 2g knocking around you should give it a go

If you DO want the deteails of the site you'd better PM and ask as I'm not %100 sure of it's legality.

It did come out on the iPad several months ago. Was just pointing out that Channel 4 have done something they should have (IMO) done months ago and released it on the iPhone.

There's a new version on the iPad as well.

EA's having a September sale on the App Store..."Up to 80% off". Loads of great games at bargain prices

Just been into Vodafone as I got a text this morning saying I could upgrade early, anyway, they are all buzzing, apparently by the end of play tonight the release date will be announced for iphone 5, in the shop they're going for the 10th, seems a bit too soon after announcement, surely ?

Not sure whether I'm going down the iphone route yet, might stick with android.

hi when does the iphone 5 come out?
