apps for jailbroken phones??

most app store apps are working fine, I've pretty much decided I'm not going to jailbreak again, phone's much snappier if you don't
 
You think so? I never noticed that. Yeah especially biteSMS (I use bite credit to SMS internationally as it turns out to be 50% cheaper)

Only reason I think a jailbreak will be necessary for 3.0:
SSH
biteSMS
SBSettings
Winterboard

Probably because (like the rest of us) you jailbreak as soon as you upload new firmware. There is no time to actually play around and notice a difference. :)

What I have noticed is the massive decrease in performance once WinterBoard is installed.. Hence the reason I haven't installed it since my last restore.. Have modified my Slide to unlock, carrier logo manually and installled Reflective Dock instead.

Cellular Data Network is what you're looking for.

Change the APN to the Virgin Mobile APN (I think it's "internet" or "vdata")

I'm still having problems. I tried vdata and internet, but no EDGE. I was in Hillcrest today, and I'm assuming there must be coverage there.

I have bossprefs installed but I've made sure Edge is switched to always show. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hmm well I just checked and vdata is the right APN apparently.. So it should work.. Maybe download SBSettings instead of BossPrefs and try use that toggle instead
 
I phoned virgin to make sure my acc was set up to use gprs etc, and they said they were going to sms me the settings, but the settings didn't come through. Are those kind of settings classed as mms? Because I don't have that on the iphone.
 
Just ask them what the APN (Access Point Name) is for their GPRS/EDGE and if your account is enabled for GPRS and EDGE. Also if there is any username/password for the APN..

AFAIK the iPhone doesn't support the SMS's with the settings that they send like Nokia's do..

If the settings are right it's either a problem with your iPhone (EDGE toggle is off or something like that) or you are in an area with no EDGE coverage.. I know on Vodacom I hardly ever get EDGE coverage anywhere..

if you can browse whatever website with safari when wifi is off, your settings on the phone ARE correct

you have to let virgin mobile activate edge for you on your contract, either edge isn't active, or there's just not edge reception, and, being virgin mobile, i won't be surprised if there just isn't edge reception

Thanks got it. If anyone else wants it I have uploaded it here. If you have other carrier bundles I can upload them here as well.

sent you the mtn ipcc and the vodacom text logo ipcc, need some info to finish the cell C and virgin mobile ones if you want to have a look
 
Morkhans showed me iPhone OS3 beta running on his iPhone last night at the MyADSL meeting.....it is absolutely mouth watering!!
 
I have noticed in MAC, that with iTunes 8.2 installed, I cannot perform a jailbreak with QuickPwn 2.2.5-2..

Are you Windows boys experiencing the same?
