How's the battery life on this thing with the GPS on? I'm going to Hawaii next week and I want to record GPS tracks for geotagging purposes. I typically used a WinMo phone in the past for this because I could get 12 hours of recording before I needed to change the battery...

I dug my iphone 4 out of the drawer, installed GPS Kit and so far, the battery is at 20% after 5 hours. No SIM card installed and wifi turned off. It's also not tracking me properly either, it keeps losing the gps signal even when I'm outside... I was hoping to just carry one device around but I might have to bring the trusty winmo phone with me just in case this doesn't work....

Anything else aside from GPS Kit that I could try? File output must be .GPX

so since there isn't an unlock for 4.1 nor 4.2, I would assume the hackers are just gonna wait for 4.3 and release an unlock for it then instead of bothering with 1 and 2 since they're already behind.

I see a huge gap at the top of that.

...and where's your camera lens?

Otherwise, looks good. How'd you get $50 shipped? I might get one at that price although I don't want the carbon fiber thingie on the back.

^lol, thats just a pic of the case by itself out of the package.

I bought it from a seller on ebay, shipped from hong kong, not sure if he still has it for this price. came with front and back screen protector, and cf back plate. you dont have to install the plate if you dont want to.

So I've been testing out the back covers compared to the oem one, and I'm going to say that the stainless steel grey back cover actually decreases at least one signal bar from your iPhone. I'm at sfu Aq 3181 right now, and I'm sitting at the same location I was on Tuesday for the same class but was using the aftermarket cover and had absolutely no service. I installed my oem cover today and I regained at least one signal bar. I don't know about you guys but on the oem back cover you'll notice this strip on the interior which looks like it has to do with signal and reception frequencies but that's just my assumption because the aftermarket ones do not have this strip. I'll have to do a bit more testing and playing around to confirm this myth / issue.

Vapor needs a hybrid version like Atom ones to help combat the signal issues.

Most people who rocked Vapor/old Atom cases reported significant if not noticeable signal drop. Let us know how you like it, 604nguyen and where to get it for 50 shipped

Im lovin the case, super tight fitment, and looks so good, feels good in the hand, adds a bit of needed weight to the ip4 aswell, the case is rock solid, you could probably hurt people with it haha

to be honest i have not not noticed any signal loss yet, 5 bars at work, 4 bars at home, makes no difference if the case is on or off. maybe im just lucky to work/live in a strong signal area lol.

i bought it on ebay from a seller in hong kong, ordered about a week and a half ago, just arrived today, he was selling a bunch for ~50 at the time. but i think he raised the price now. around 60ish i believe? just check on ebay from time to time, easybuy_hk i believe he was

vapor would be way nicer if the side that screwed in was just round, not extended to fit the screws

I realize now why there's always a blue glare in my pictures with flash. I have a custom canuck skin on the back and the flash reflects off the blue.

Which seller did you buy from? If it's $50, I might grab one.

That black strip is a static strip. You can buy it online for $0.95 or so.

is your button detachable? and have you try out the gps yet

the real one doesn't come with spare screws from what i have read and seen. but seems like you have got a AAA+ grade knockoff haha.

Looks like the iphone is FINALLY revamping the notification system

http://www.redmondpie.com/ios-5-to-i...-touch-report/

Quote:
Sources close to CultofMac has informed them that Apple is buying a small company to revamp the much criticized notification system of iOS.

Apple is working on a new notification system for iOS and will be buying a small company to build its technology into the operating system, according to one of our sources.

It is no secret that Android’s, WP7’s and webOS’ notification system offers far better experience than iOS’ current notification system, which is intrusive at best.

Apple’s pop-up notification system for new text messages, voicemails and the like has often been criticized as one of the weakest parts of the iOS. Notifications are intrusive, modal and often cryptic. It’s a mess.

Hopefully, we will see a complete revamp of notification system when Apple rolls out iOS 5 with iPhone 5 this summer.
Hey can you guys click on the link and tell me what theme is used in that image?? It looks sickkk

i don't want to start a new thread but just wondering if you guys can help.

I've recently just jailbroke my iphone 4 with green poison, but i'm having issues with winterboard. How can i use the lock screen wallpaper of the theme i am using currently instead using my own lock screen wallpaper.

i searched online, but all the questions were "how to use personal lock wallpaper instead of the one from the current theme?" but not the other way around.

i went into winterboard and un-selected user background, but still, no luck!!

you see "use user wallpaper" or something along those lines?
tap on them and use the square icon and drag it to the top of the winterboard list.
the themes on the very top of the winterboard list is the ones with most power..

sorry my english sucks lol
