No, you have to call customer service and ask.

In the stock Map app that came with the phone, touch the bottom right corner and pick satellite or hybrid. I'm using hybrid and I like it :thumbsup:

How can I set my iPhone to 3G ONLY?

yosh 10-10-2008 07:39 PM

jailbreak your phone, install cydia, install bossprefs, turn off edge using bossprefs

haven't tried this, but should work

Fafine 10-10-2008 11:28 PM

i think u can turn off edge jsut from your settings

willystyle 10-12-2008 07:22 PM

anyone know how to remove app store apps such as ibowl?

Fafine 10-12-2008 07:29 PM

To delete apps click and hold a random app until it shakes and there's an x on the corner, click the x n it'll be deleted. No x means u cannot delete

willystyle 10-12-2008 07:39 PM

thanks man!

SchoolGlue 10-13-2008 11:52 AM

chose your ringtones from this site http://audiko.net/
then chose itune as your auto opening program while you download it! you should be able to get some on (its kinda flukey)

but you can always jailbreak your iphone and use openSSH and do it from there

Fafine 10-13-2008 01:12 PM

Check YouTube there's a video that shows you how make your songs as ur ring tone and all you need is iTunes, don't need jb at all

hoking 10-13-2008 01:32 PM

1.) Ringtone must be 40secs or less
2.) Convert to AAC
3.) Find the converted ringtone, rename from .m4a to .m4r
4.) Drag the new ringtone back into itunes/ringtone
5.) Sync

Is it true that the iPhone can only pair with other iPhones and not other phone brands?

ie iphone to blackberry = not possible

I can't pair with my gf's pearl, and I did a quick google search and found that it is only possible to pair with other iphones and bt headsets etc.. stupidd

Is there something to unlock this?

ShyGuy 10-13-2008 05:16 PM

appshare is the greatest program

So I was talking to the Fido rep and he said that basically most of the features on the iPhone will charge you money other than phone and SMS. Even the camera. He said the only way to avoid this is to jailbreak the phone, which I have done. Now, if I use... say the maps app, will I still be charged money or will the GPS receiver have to problems on its own? Fill me in guys.

no the camera will not use data but some apps that are ad supported will. The best way to avoid any data is to get fido to blocked it for you.

Install Bosspref and turn off both edge and 3g, i don't remember if you can turn off gprs too but if you can turn it off and just leave wifi on.

Keep in mind some ad supported apps (especially jailbreak ones) might not work if you block off all the data and no wifi is in range.

No gurantees all your data will be block with the method so the best way is to get fido to block it

5t6n 10-13-2008 10:00 PM

I'm just wondering about the Maps app though.

5t6n 10-13-2008 10:33 PM

And I'm wondering how I actually add apps to my phone because I just got it and only got as far as jailbreaking it.
