Dude, just return the phone and buy a NEW PHONE this time... I don't know why you bought a 2nd hand iphone from ebay. You could have gotten a brand new one for R1000 more on ebay. Seriously, stop waisting your time, email the seller and tell him that you are going to return the phone. Tell him that he should pay for the shipping. As easy as that!

y? it isnt a hardware problem so a restore will do the trick!

Cool. Thanx for the comparison. I bought Navigon a few days ago and love it. Always wanted TomTom but am not hearing many good things about it (besides that it's very configurable and integrates pretty well with the iPhone). It seems (in SA at least) that Navigon has better maps and is "prettier" :D:D

Sygic still beats it by far...
 
My BodyGuardz transparent film arrived today from the states. Going to try and put it on this weekend. My speck case is nice, but it hides the actual look and feel of the iPhone, and I have the rubber buttons on the speck, you have to press them really hard to trigger the button.

So hopefully I get this BodyGuard stuff on :) And hopefully, I don't ever drop my iphone, lol...
 
Would be nice to force 3G when tethering, the iPhone switches between edge and 3g which is annoying.
 
So I sent the seller a message.. If he will do a full refund I will take it! otherwise will see how much Vodacom will charge to swap it out/fix. And do you guys think insurance would cover something like this?

How you did pay for the item? PayPal?
 
I have first gen running OS 3.0

Any cool apps you could suggest. Phone is jailbroken. In particular I wouldn't mind a decent ssh client and an app to take videos.

Thanks and Regards,
J

For Videos - Cycorder from Cydia

For SSH - OpenSSH from Cydia, then connect to your phone's IP (located under Settings, Network, Wi-Fi, and in the settings of the Wi-Fi connection you are connected to) via WinSCP

Great... You are in luck. If you use PayPal to pay for something you buy on ebay, you can open a Dispute case on your paypal account. You select the transaction in dispute, and then it will notify the seller that a dispute has been opened. You can then send messages to the seller through paypal. the seller will reply to all your messages. Once a case has been opened, paypal gives you a 2 weeks or so to resolve the case.

If you and the seller don't come to some sort of agreement, you can simple click on the "I would like to end communication and escalate this dispute to a claim with PayPal " and paypal will review your case and if they favor you, then PAYPAL will refund your credit card, and claim that money from the seller. It's as easy as that!

Go into your paypal account right now, Click on Resolution Centre -> View Open Cases -> Report a Problem.

did i not tell you about this???

It says they are stored for 3.1 NOT 3.0/3.0.1 :(

EDIT:

this means that you cannot restore back to 3.0 or 3.0.1 by any method, stop looking for guides on how to, the answer will always be "no you can't", you're just going to end up upgrading your baseband by accident and scr@wing yourself over

you missed the window to get the shsh blobs on file with cydia before 3.1 was released

as for b!tching about people saying "i told you so", well, we did, and now you're stuck with the problem, as warned

o.. well it does really help me then :(

I have set my sleep thing to never and it seems like my battery is lasting longer... maybe whatever is chewing my battery is only activating once my phone is sleeping???

Virus perhaps?
