is there anywhere available to unlock iphone 4s?

jerche · 02-02-2012, 01:03 AM

So, I figured out that because of my custom icon for PvZ, it's not working...

Is there anyway where I can just delete that one icon? Because I kinda like the rest of the icons actually... or there is no way?

anyone know the replacement cost of the glass cover?

dropped it and now its cracked like a spider web.

screen still works as i'm still using it but near the earpiece part, part of the white underneath the glass is also broken, so i guess i need to replace that and the glass.

invader · 02-06-2012, 08:58 PM

Whoever uses lock info, is there a plugin or way to get NHL/NBA scores like a ticker to show?

I've heard it's $200 from Apple. Not sure if it includes front and back glass though, or just a single side.

The glass itself was $80 from JP Cellular Repair for me

Hey there sindragon, first of all, congrats on your upgrade!

I've gone from symbian Nokias (N95+N97) to the iphone 3GS, and then onto the 4s, and I honestly loved my upgrades...

1) Play with the 4s for a month or so before deciding whether or not to upgrade. For example, I was in the same boat, but after a mere 2 weeks, the basic out-of-the-box functions of the phone was enough to keep me happy, so I didn't go the JB route.

-As for the contacts, there are a number of free apps that you can use. For example, an App that I used in the past was called "iDrive"...

2) Battery tips... you can go online and find a million different answers. The surefire way to do it is take out the new 4s out of the box, connect with the laptop and set your iTunes up.

-After setting it up, put the phone on the charger and let it charge up to full. Mind you, the phone will have a battery percentage of around 60% straight out of the box. So you just want to top it up.

3) Apps? There's an old thread with alot of goodies, so do some RS search!

-NOTE, set up iCloud and the "Findmyiphone" app asap, because it'll be useful if you misplace or lose your phone.

-NOTE, becareful with downloading apps, because 2 out of 5 apps that you download may have a internal bug that will deplete your iphone battery life like MAD.

-One way to check is, go to SETTINGS>GENRRAL>USAGE>scroll down to time since last full charge, "usage" and "standby" SHOULD read different numbers. IF both usage and standby reads the same number, it means you have a bug, and the bug won't let the phone go into stand-by mode...and your phone will drain like no tmmrw.

Battery-life is meh, but with heavy-usage it lasts me 2 days... I do minimal talk, heavy texting, and lots of wifi.

Hope this helps!

I was curious after i read your post and so i decided to check my phone and the usuage&standby numbers are the same, now how do i fixed this?

J-force · 02-23-2012, 09:13 PM

picked up an iPhone 4 couple days ago, it's been upgraded to ios5 ( not sure if the latest firmware), but i've been getting signal problems like crazy. It will be crystal clear, then it will just cut out with the other person echoing.

I thought my phone was a defect, but this made me believe it wasn't.

anyone else experiencing these problems? Im with rogers

In all honesty, there is no definitive way to fix it, because each iphone requires different ways to fix it.

Say you get 8 hours of usage on your phone now, if you fix the problem, you can most likely double the usage...

Here is a list of things that I tried for mine before finding one that actually worked.

-Reboot device a couple of times.

-open up safari, and CLOSE all windows. Then restart the device. It is believed that the open windows/tabs keeps the iphone from going into stand-by mode.

-Delete the apps that you think may be suspicious of bugs, delete and re-install them

-plug iphone into iTunes, do a FULL back-up. Then reset iphone to factory settings. Then restore your back-up onto the phone again.

-Drain your iphone to 0%, then top it up again.

WHAT did work for mine was rebooting my device numerous times.

NOTE: I download new apps every now and then, and I always check the stand-by settings. And I will always know instantly if I have downloaded an app with a bug, because the stand-by number will be messed up.

The "bug" simply refers to errors in the App software that creates loops and cycles that runs in the background of the phone; that prevents the phone from fully going into stand-by mode.

Hope you resolve the problem soon!

ddr · 02-24-2012, 10:24 PM

if you close all the apps and get the same kind of usage, it's most likely a cydia app. though i've never had this problem, i've never encountered an app from apptrackr (installous) that gave this kind of error (~170 apps).

Does anyone have this problem?

When I email pictures, put them in Dropbox, or even import via USB, they're upside down when I see view them on my computer. They're the right side up in my Photos app, and my camera was correctly oriented when I take pictures. I end up having to rotate everything manually on my computer.

I find that taking pictures with the volume buttons facing down have the photos the correct orientation. Not too sure why since Apple released the volume shutter button, photos are upside down :/
