Software utilities

Hi! I recently updated my old iPhone 2G to the new 3.1 firmware. I also tried installing Cydia for additional applications and control options. I used BossPrefs for some times, and really appreciated the additional control it gave me on the iPhone, but the latest release kept telling me to upgrade to the new SBPrefs for optimized and updated features. i did it, but after a while I noticed that the battery lasted much less, droping from 3-4 days to one day, even less. So after searching for many solutions, I tried unistalling SBPrefs and voilà, my battery had new life! So if you upgraded to 3.1 and had problems with the iPhone battery, try this too!

Erm, no…not really. But you’d think it the way it’s been swooping over the nation like an overly-keen spread of glandular fever.

I don’t know which craze is worse: High School Musical, Hannah frikkin Montana or the iPhone. (Oh yeah, and add Harry Potter to the mix. I don’t care much for Harry Potter but I love my nephews which is the only reason I’ve been able to stomach it).

I must be one of a handful of people aged between 14 and 30-something who isn’t crazy about iPhones, iPods, i whatevers, Nintendo wii, Xbox, etc.

Therefore, I hereby announce myself to be a different kind of (human) species – part of a dying breed – because technical roll-outs like these just do not turn me on. I find it a lot more entertaining watching people squabble over the latest phone, those who queue up for miles and miles to grab one, and those who scream like banshees until the windows shatter upon being told that “sorry, erm, we’re out of stock”.

It’s INSANE.

Give me a mobile phone that works – sends calls/texts, receives calls/texts – and that’s it, I’m a happy bunny.

Give me a mobile that can take photos, shoot videos, make you a mean bowl of chicken wings and tuck you into bed at night with a glass of milk…

…then, Houston, we have a problem.

The latest is that there’s been a software glitch with the ‘online registration system’, so in certain parts of the UK, there are people either crying their eyes out or customer service assistants having their ears sizzled with complaint after complaint after complaint.

It’s not just the UK, though – in the US, some people’s iPhones won’t activate. Oh dear.

I think I might hire out my services as an iPhone therapist – how’s that? The world needs me right now.

ET, don’t you DARE phone home with the iPhone or else I’ll break off every one of those skinny green fingers of yours and put them under Stephen Spielberg’s pillow (mafia style).

While listening t music on your iPhone you suddently discover that the right spekear does not work. Before going to the nearest Apple Store, you should know that the right speker does not produce sounds becaus it’s not a sepeaker! It’s the microphone! If you look carefully, you won’t see any other opening which could work as mic!

The iPhone has two partitions, one for the OS and applications and one to store video, mp3 and images. If you manage to install third party applications (I don’t want to know how you did it), you may run out of disk space. In this case you need an application such as BossTool that can relocate fonts, ringtones and applications from the OS disk to the other disk, in order to save main disk space.
