iPod Touch 5G Could have 3G Connectivity

2011-07-15T23:07:00.000-07:00

iPod Touch 5G Could have 3G Connectivity - iPod Touch 5G will have 3G Data Connectivity - The iPod Touch 4G can do almost everything an iPhone can; it does Games, internet surfing, music, and videos. However, it’s seriously lacking in the connectivity department: It works only with WiFi hotspots and does not connect to cellular networks.

An iPod Touch with 3G connectivity makes a lot of sense, however, AppleSpot.nl provides little details about the 3G feature and blog’s track record is literally non-existen, so this canot be taken as-is.

9to5Mac suggests that if Apple adds “the GPS/3G baseband chips and some phone wiring and a solid 3 megapixel camera, iPod Touch 5G 3G Data Connectivity ill have 3G Data Connectivity and you are 99 percent of the way to an iPhone lite”.

Would you like to have an iPod Touch with 3G connectivity or the WiFi-only version is enough for you? Let us know the comments below.

iPhone 5 blackberry alike led indicator

2011-07-13T06:40:00.000-07:00

iPhone 5 blackberry alike led indicator - Every day brings new rumors related to Apple’s next-generation iPhone. According to these speculations, the smartphone could be powered by the A5 processor, which will significantly increase the processing speed, and will feature an 8MP camera.

The iPhone 5 could also incorporate an LED indicator that would blink every time iPhone owners have received a notification, recent rumors claim.
The upcoming smartphone could actually sport two LEDs: the first one will be a dual-LED camera flash and the second one is the LED indicator, iPhone 5 blackberry led.

However, this is not an original Apple-idea since BlackBerry already has an indicator LED above the screen. This would not be surprising because Apple has been accused before of having ”borrowed” certain features from various apps and platforms and integrated them into its iOS 5.

iPhone 5 led indicator, A LED indicator could be a useful feature in the upcoming iPhone 5. The LED could let users know they have missed a call, have unread messages or received a new notification. Apple should also add an option that would allow users to disable the LED because a blinking light can be quite annoying sometimes. Via: iphone forums

[Report] Apple Planning to Sell 25 Million of 'iPhone 5'

2011-07-11T13:18:00.000-07:00

Whatever the next iPhone turns out to be, Apple is planning to sell gobs and gobs of it. The latest word, reported by the Wall Street Journal, is that Apple is telling its suppliers that it expects to sell 25 million of the "iPhone 5" before the end of 2011.

The report cites unnamed sources at Apple's suppliers. Apple's products are assembled by Taiwan's Hon Hai, the world's biggest contract manufacturer of electronics, says the Journal. Hon Hai gets its parts from other companies in Taiwan and other parts of Asia, and people said to be from those suppliers revealed some details about the next iPhone, dubbed the "iPhone 5."

Besides the usual rumors about an 8-megapixel camera and a thinner design, the unnamed sources said the new iPhone would use wireless baseband chips from Qualcomm instead of the ones from Infineon Technologies, which are in the current iPhone 4, according to teardowns of the product.

One of the sources revealed Apple's sales goals, telling the Journal, "Apple's sales estimates of the new iPhone is quite aggressive. It told us to prepare to help the company meet its goal of 25 million units by the end of the year. The initial production volume will be a few million units... we were told to ship the components to assembler Hon Hai in August."

Radical look coming to iPhone 5

2011-06-29T03:35:00.000-07:00

Another rumor that iPhone 5 could have radical new case - There are reports that iPhone 5 will be a new, fully redesigned product – rather than an updated iPhone 4 – with a "radical new case design," according to rumor site Boy Genius Report.

BGR's announcement of a fully-redesigned phone complements an earlier prediction from Thisismynext. The tech site reported that the iPhone 5 could be thinner than the current iPhone, with a teardrop-shaped case that would taper from top to bottom, giving it a profile similar to the MacBook Air computer. This new rumor also meshes with an earlier one that Apple has purchased machines capable of cutting curved glass, which would allow it to give the iPhone 5 a sleek, tapered case or iPhone 5 Radical New Look.

2011-06-25T18:52:00.000-07:00

Spirit jailbreak --- What is Spirit jailbreak? For those who don't know let me tell you that Spirit is an untethered jailbreak for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad running iOS 3.1.2 through 3.2. It was developed by Wii homebrew developer comex.

Jailbreaking is a progression that permits full access to unlock all features of the Apple’s iOS (also known as iPhone OS prior to iOS 4.0) operating system (such as the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, and recently Apple TV), irrespective of the imposed confines. Spirit is not a hauler unbolt yet, an unteterred jailbreak for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad running iOS 3.1.2 through 3.2.

Moreover, jailbreaking a device gives access to its root file system, allowing modification and installing. Spirit jail breaking work on all devices but it just requires one’s device to be activated. Jailbreak Sprint

Sprint may join the Apple Family

2011-06-23T09:03:00.000-07:00

Apple could accept Sprint as a new member in its exclusive club of iPhone carriers, rumors have been suggesting for almost a year now. Sprint is currently the third largest US carrier. Its position could be explained by the less developed 4G wireless network compared to AT&T’s and Verizon’s. iPhone 5

Apple could be interested in running a 4G iPhone version on Sprint, rumors claim. This could be a wise choice for both companies. Such a move would allow Sprint to increase its market . Also, Apple could bring a LTE compatible iOS smartphone on the market.

Apple is lagging behind many Android-based handsets which already offer 4G compatibility and by sealing a deal with Sprint iPhone 5 would be able to run on 4G networks, since iOS customers are putting pressure on the Cupertino Company to make this feature available. iPhone 5 release

How does the ipod touch wheel work

2009-01-25T04:28:00.000-08:00

"How does the ipod touch wheel work", Under the plastic surface of the Click Wheel, there are four mechanical buttons (Menu, back, forward, play/pause), and there's one button in the center (select).

Click Wheel face

There are five buttons and five corresponding contacts on the motherboard. When we press, say, the right side of the wheel while you're listening to a song, the wheel pushes down the forward button. The underside of each rubber button is metal, so pressing it completes the corresponding circuit on the motherboard. The motherboard tells the processor this circuit is complete, and the processor tells the operating system to fast-forward through the song.

The Click Wheel's touch-sensitive function lets us move through lists, adjust volume and fast forward through a song by moving finger around the stationary wheel. It works a lot like a laptop touchpad. In fact, the company that supplied the Click Wheel for the 4G iPod was Synaptics, most widely known for making laptop touchpad's. For the 5G, Apple created its own proprietary Click Wheel design based on the same capacitive sensing principle as the previous Synaptics-designed Click Wheel.

Under the plastic cover of the Click Wheel, there is a membrane embedded with metallic channels. Where the channels intersect, a positional address is created, like coordinates on a graph.

At its most basic, a capacitive-sensing system works like this: The system controller supplies an electrical current to the grid. The metal channels that form the grid are conductors -- they conduct electricity. When another conductor -- say, finger -- gets close to the grid, the current wants to flow to the finger to complete the circuit. But there's a piece of nonconductive plastic in the way -- the Click Wheel cover. So the charge builds up at the point of the grid that's closest to the finger. This build-up of an electrical charge between two conductors is called capacitance.
The closer the two conductors are without touching,
the greater the capacitance.

The "sensing" part of the system comes in with the controller. The Click Wheel controller (see above) is programmed to measure changes in capacitance. The greater the change in capacitance at any given point, the closer the finger must be to that point. When the controller detects a certain change in capacitance, it sends a signal to the microprocessor. As we move finger around the wheel, the charge build-up moves around the wheel with it. Every time the controller senses capacitance at a given point, it sends a signal. That's how the Click Wheel can detect speed of motion -- the faster we move our finger around the wheel, the more compacted the stream of signals it sends out. And as the microprocessor receives the signals, it performs the corresponding action -- increasing the volume, for instance. When the finger stops moving around the wheel, the controller stops detecting changes in capacitance and stops sending signals, and the microprocessor stops increasing the volume.

iPhone Nano on the way to China first?

2009-01-13T11:15:00.000-08:00

"iPhone Nano on the way to China first?", A smaller, cheaper iPhone could hit China later this year, now that two companies appear to have gotten contracts to make its chips.(Credit: Apple)

More iPhone Nano rumors are surfacing out of China, as some are starting to wonder whether the much-rumored diminutive iPhone will ship in that region only.
Digitimes picked up on a report from the Economic Daily News that chip makers Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and United Microelectronics Corp. (UMC) are set to get the contract to make chips for an iPhone Nano, which was described as a “low-cost entry-level” iPhone. TSMC and UMC are perhaps the two most well-known chip foundries in the business, and are perhaps getting ready to execute Apple’s first iPhone chip design put together by the P.A. Semi team.

No other details were reported. But what of the iPhone Nano itself? Rumors first appeared about such a device in 2007, shortly after the launch of the original iPhone, but quickly died. They were revived late last year when an iPhone case manufacturer added an “iPhone Nano” category to its products.

There’s a theory that the real iPhone Nano is merely the knock-off versions sold in markets in China and other places in Asia, which has proven so popular that demand has grown for cases. But Brian Marshal of Broadpoint AmTech expects Apple to launch such a device at some point this year, and thinks Asia might be the first place it arrives.

Marshal said his checks with suppliers show that AT&T has not received the device yet for testing, which he believes indicates that China could be the likely launch venue for the iPhone Nano and a new Apple relationship with China Mobile or another carrier. If this iPhone really does exist, a June launch would make sense given the pattern set in 2007 and 2008.

yellowsn0w 0.9.6

2009-01-07T07:51:00.000-08:00

yellowsn0w 0.9.6, yellowsn0w 0.9.6 has been released in Cydia and…it works! After testing out how to unlock your iPhone 3G and the other updates, this latest release has been much improved.

If you don't know how to download yellowsn0w, check the download yellowsn0w post.

UPDATES

1. Soon you'll see yellowsn0w 0.9.1 in the repos. It uses a much longer delay to let your SIM card initialize. If you have problems with 0.9.0, try this one and wait a full minute after you see homescreen, then reinsert sim card. We need both success and failure reports to tune this across the world, so please be patient (but please also report result!) As of v 0.9.4 there's no longer a one-minute delay step. If you don't see your carrier when your homescreen comes up, you may still need a sim reinsert (for now).

2. If you are in the U.S. and are trying this with T-Mobile, you must turn off the 3G switch in Settings. Also if you are good with the command line, you can make it much easier by adding the line -q right after the /usr/bin/yellowsn0w line in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.iphone-dev.yellowsn0w.plist (that's and advanced tip, hopefully someone will make a boosprefs type of tool for it) The -q option is now deprecated in 0.9.4+ (it's now always in quick mode, unless you use the -l option for long mode).

3. No PIN support yet. Remember how we said this was beta? Well we're still working out the flow for SIMs with PINs enabled. Please disable any PIN you may have on that SIM before trying yellowsn0w, for now.

4. The unlock will silently quit on anything other than baseband 02.28.00. It detects the wrong version and just quits to avoid any damage. Please double check your Modem Firmware setting in Settings->General->About.

Download Yellowsn0w 0.9.4 beta

2009-01-06T10:02:00.000-08:00

Download Yellowsn0w 0.9.4 beta, The beta version of yellowsn0w 0.9.4 is out and it should fix reinsertion issues for many users. If you haven't tried it yet I suggest you give it a try now! REMEMBER, it's still in beta so you may have problems.

The yellowsn0w download is in the Cydia repo mentioned in the yellowsn0w download post. Post any comments or problems you have over there.

Unlock iPhone 3G yellowsn0w

2009-01-01T12:09:00.000-08:00

"Unlock iPhone 3G yellowsn0w", The Dev Team has released yellowsn0w, the 3G iPhone unlock. Its available NOW via Cydia, you'll need to add their source (check the release post for the URL - they'd prefer sites didn't link the repo url) then check your Changes tab - yellowsn0w should be right on top. If you don't know how, here's how to add a source in Cydia.

Refresh if you don't see it. If you're reading this later, just search for yellowsn0w in Cydia (making sure of course you've added their source). As guessed (and confirmed a bit later) from their post earlier today, IT WORKS WITH THE 02.28.00 BASEBAND version - in fact, ONLY for that baseband version. Meaning yes, you will need to update in iTunes and then use PwnageTool on a freshly updated 2.2 iPhone if you DON'T have 02.28.00 right now. Running the unlock on older basebands will simply cause it to exit, and do nothing. "No harm, no foul."
All you do is go to the package in Cydia and install just like you'd install any other package. Boom - restart the iPhone, and...

...wait for the slide to unlock screen, then wait 10 or 15 secs more. If you don’t see your carrier name pop up, then remove your SIM, reinsert it, and wait 10 secs more. This is the step we’ll be working on eliminating next.

Then you're unlocked. A quick note for users whose SIM cards come preinstalled with menus or apps on them, you'll

...need to pull and reinsert the SIM once after rebooting the phone to engage the unlock. Even though it’s needed only once per boot, it’s still a nuisance and we’ll be fixing that ASAP... You’ll know if you fall into that “extra step” category if your carrier doesn’t show up within about 10 seconds of the slide to unlock screen.

There is a known issue with SIM cards that have STK (SIM Toolkit) application menus, these menus are usually items such as “top up” “get credit” etc. These menu items confuse the application sometimes, removing and reinserting the SIM fixes this issue.

Firmware 2.2 baseband 02.28.0(yellowsnow will work)

2009-01-01T04:34:00.000-08:00

"yellowsn0w will work on firmware 2.2 baseband 02.28.0"
Did you ignore the Dev Team's post about upgrading to firmware 2.2? You're in luck! The Dev Team has made yellowsn0w compatible with the newer baseband.

What does this mean?

You can upgrade to a jailbroken firmware 2.2 on your iPhone 3G using PwnageTool (MAC) or QuickPWN (Windows/MAC) regardless of the baseband. Now Windows users will no longer need to get a custom firmware to prepare their iPhone 3G for the unlock. Stay tuned for the yellowsn0w package which will be available in Cydia by 12 PM PST at the latest.

Edit: The following screenshot by Muscle Nerd proves that yellowsn0w will work on ANY baseband. :)

1. App Store is too slow

Users have reported that the app store is loading really slow after the update. If it’s sever side problem i hope Apple with take care of it soon.

2. Distance Unit Error in Google Maps

Google Maps are displaying kilometers instead miles for a wide set of countries. To solve this problem for the time-being change your country to USA, but users outside america see this as a nuisance.

3. Internet Connection Trouble

Users complaining that they are not allowed to connect to the internet over their cellular networks. This issue can be resolved by switching from 3G to EDGE (or, for carriers other than AT&T, the appropriate GPRS network).

4. Problems with E-mail Deletion

I have the same trouble with my current OS to delete mail from accounts like Gmail and AOL. Users have reported similar problems in deleting AOL mails. You can manually fix this issue. Goto Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (Your account name) > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox, then setting for the “On My iPhone” Trash for a POP account, or “On the Server” for an IMAP account.

5. Third-Party Applications broken

This is bad news for power users, i use my iPhone mainly considering the apps in them. Some 3rd applications will not function properly like before under the new iPhone OS 2.2 due to API changes and other alterations. These include a number of applications that use CoreAudio. These applications will generally need to be updated by their developers. However, you can try uninstalling then reinstalling applications for problems that do not involve API or other strict compatibility problems.

6. “SIM card not inserted” or “PIN Lock”

Not this again, it happened to me twice. This error is really irritating. Users are recieving errors that the SIM card is not inserted, or that a PIN lock is in place when none should exist. You can solve the SIM issue by removing the SIM card, then connect to your computer and restore. Then iTunes will reload the software, and followed by that you can re-insert the SIM card and attempt synchronization with iTunes.

If you get the PIN lock message, try the tips in this forum
