iPhone 4 Antenna

The reality is that there is a problem with the iPhone 4's antenna and you are not going to fix it easily. Instead you should try to troubleshoot these iPhone 4 antenna problems with the suggested methods. The easiest is to just use the duct tape on the side of the phone, or adjust how you hold the iPhone 4 so that you do not have a tight grip on the lower left hand corner. You should also use the free Bumper case that was offered to iPhone 4 users through an Apple scheme.

Troubleshooting

 

 

 

If you are not getting any service there are a few easy things you can start off trying. First, double check to see if your iPhone 4's Airplane

Mode is on, and if it is you will get No Service on your iPhone 4 even though it may not say No Service explicitly. You may have to wait several seconds, up to fifteen, after turning off Airplane Mode to find that you will have iPhone 4 service again. If that does not fix it try using the Sleep and Wake button once or twice to see if that repairs the service issue.
If you are seeing No Service independent of what you do on your iPhone 4 then you may be out of your general service area. This is less usual than it was in the earlier days of cell phones, but you still can get into regions where you lose service altogether. If this is consistent then you should contact AT&T to see your preferred areas and your data plan, but there is not much that you can do in the meantime to repair the No Service reading on your iPhone 4.

No Service and the 3G Network

 

 

 

 There are often times when the No Service message on your iPhone can be caused by issues with the 3G network. There is an easy way to troubleshoot this and it is even recommended by AT&T. Start out by going into Settings and selecting General. From here go to the Reset option and then choose Reset Network Settings. This will prompt you for a password if you have already put one in place. Once you have reset the network settings then your iPhone will take a few minutes to restart. Once it has come back hopefully your phone and 3G network service will return. This is actually a similar process to what you would do for an unlocked iPhone.

 

 

The iPhone Dev-Team has done it again: iOS 5 has been out for only a week or so, but the group has already come up with a tethered jailbreak for devices running Apple's latest software. Here's how to jailbreak your iOS 5 device using the iPhone Dev-Team's Redsn0w tool.
Jailbreaking an iPhone allows users to gain root access to the device, as well as to install unauthorized applications. You might not know that Apple has a stringent App Store policy, and that it routinely rejects apps for a number of reasons, including smuttiness and other "content issues." Jailbreaking your iPhone will let you download unauthorized content from Cydia, which is the jailbroken equivalent of the App Store (don't worry--you'll still be able to use the real App Store).
For the first time, users do not need to manually supply their device's IPSW file. What this means for you is that the new Redsn0w jailbreak is extremely quick and easy to perform on any iOS 5 device (minus the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S). The Dev-Team is working on an untethered jailbreak, but for now the tethered version is all that's available.

Can I Jailbreak My iOS Device?

Currently this jailbreak works only with the following devices (all must be running iOS 5):

• iPod Touch 3G
• iPod Touch 4G
• iPad (original)
• iPhone 3GS
• iPhone 4 (AT&T/Verizon)

At the moment no jailbreak is available for the iPad 2 running iOS 5, or the new iPhone 4S.

The Risks of Jailbreaking

This jailbreak is currently incompatible with phones that have unlockable basebands. Do not try this if your phone has an unlockable baseband (and you want to keep it that way). Your baseband is unlockable/unlocked if you can use it on any (GSM, or SIM-card-using) network. You do not want to use this method if you either purchased an unlocked iPhone from Apple or unlocked your iPhone using a tool such as Ultrasn0w.
This is a tethered jailbreak, which means that each time you reboot your iOS device, you'll need to have it connected to a computer running Redsn0w, the jailbreak program. Basically, you won't be able to reboot the device if you're not close to your computer, so keep that in mind.
Before you do anything (even update to iOS 5), be sure to back up your device. How you back up depends on what type of data you have on your phone; I had a lot of photos, for instance, so I used Image Capture on my Mac to save all of my pictures to my computer.
When you jailbreak your iOS device, you risk turning your new toy into a paperweight--and if you accidentally brick your iDevice, Apple probably won't help you out. I've never had any problems with jailbreaking, but that doesn't mean you won't, so proceed cautiously.

How to Jailbreak an iOS Device Running iOS 5

Step 1: Install iOS 5
To perform this jailbreak, your device must be running iOS 5. To get iOS 5, plug your device into your computer and open iTunes. Find the device and select Update. Your music, apps, and data may be erased from your device, but you can update to iOS 5 without losing your data if you prepare properly.

Step 2: Download Redsn0w
To jailbreak your iOS 5 device, you'll be using the Redsn0w jailbreak tool from the iPhone Dev-Team. Download either Redsn0w 0.9.9b6 for Windows or Redsn0w 0.9.9b6 for Mac.

Step 3: Open Redsn0w, and Jailbreak
Double-cliick on Redsn0w to open it. A window will show two options: Jailbreak and Extras. Choose Jailbreak.

Make sure your device is plugged in, and turn it off (if it isn't plugged in, plug it in first and then turn it off).
Then, click the Next button. Be ready, as you'll be prompted to hold down a series of buttons quickly in order to enter Device Firmware Update (DFU) mode. Redsn0w will walk you through this, but just so you're prepared, the series is as follows:
1. Hold down the Power (upper-right) button for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Keep holding the Power button and hold down the Home button at the same time for 10 seconds.
3. Release the Power button but keep holding the Home button for about 10 seconds.

Once you enter DFU mode, Redsn0w will do the rest. Redsn0w will go through a series of screens--don't do anything, just wait.
Step 4: Install Cydia
Once your phone is jailbroken (don't unplug it yet!) Redsn0w will ask you to 'select your options'.
Make sure Install Cydia is checked, and click Next. (As mentioned earlier, Cydia is the jailbroken equivalent of the App Store.)
You'll see some stuff flash across your iOS device's screen, and then your device will reboot (tethered) in a jailbroken state.

Step 5: How to Perform a Tethered Reboot
Now that your iOS device is jailbroken, you can reboot it only while it's tethered to your computer. (If you reboot untethered, Cydia and Safari may crash.)
To accomplish this, connect your device to your computer and open Redsn0w. Click Extras and then Just boot. The program will prompt you to enter DFU mode, and then your device will reboot.

Everybody knows what Siri is, and especially if Siri for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS is available. Well, Siri was successfully ported on iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, even on iPod Touch 4G, and all this is possible thanks to the great work of developers from the jailbreak scene.
We have people like “chpwn” and “Steve Troughton-Smith” to thank to for Siri for iPhone 4 and Siri for iPhone 3GS, but we are now at the mercy of the rest of the developers to find a way to extract all the Siri files from the iPhone 4S IPSW file so that they can be successfully transported to the iPhone 4 and 3GS and all the rest of the iDevices that support iOS 5.
You see, Siri was made available only for iPhone 4S by Apple, as a marketing strategy, and distributing the Siri files from the iPhone 4S over the internet is piracy. Everybody knows, or at least everybody, that the developers of the iPhone Dev Team and Chronic Dev team are law abiding citizens, and will never promote or endorse piracy, and that;s why they have to find a way to extract the files straight from the IPSW file, because then everybody would be able to access them just by downloading the file from the Apple servers.
Siri for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS is already available, but only if you already own an iPhone 4S so that you can transfer the files from one device to another. And what good would that do to you if you already own an iPhone 4S?
Take a look at the videos
below to see Siri working on iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS:
: Siri for iPhone 4
Siri for iPhone 3GS  
As you can see, we already have Siri for iPhone 4 and 3GS, we just need a way to extract the files, which is already a work in progress for all the jailbreakers out there.
I’d recommend you to bookmark this page, as it will be updated as soon as Siri can be installed on iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS by everybody.
UPDATE: You can now install siri on iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4G using HiSiri
For those of you that are trying hard to find a way in order to install Siri on iPhone 4 i am glad to reveal that HiSiri can accomplish that. HiSiri is basically a tweak for jailbreakers and it permits users to install Siri’s GUI server connectivity on other devices such as iPhone 4.
However there is a catch, at the moment although Hisiri successfully helps you to install Siri on iPhone 4 it doesn’t connect the famous software to Apple’s servers, but you can however connect it to private servers offered by the jailbreak community.
Take notice that HiSiri is not an official support from Apple and it might still have some bugs or any other small issues. We just hope that Apple will reconsider and decide to finally release an official support in order to install Siri on other devices like iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS.
Stay tuned for more information and be the first to install Siri on iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS

To create custom ringtones using only iTunes:

1. Right click on the song you are going to make into a ringer and select “Get Info.”
2. Go to the options tab and go down to the “Start Time” and “Stop Time” check boxes. Check both boxes and input the time you want your ringer to start/stop. The ringer has to be 30 seconds or less. Click OK when you’re done.
3. Right click on your newly “clipped” song and select “Convert Selection to AAC.” The song will be re-encoded using the start and stop times determined (If your menu item does not read “Convert Selection to AAC” and reads “Convert Slection to MP3″ (or some other format) please go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing and change the “Import Using” drop down menu to “AAC Encoder”).

4. After the song is done encoding navigate to your iTunes Music folder, locate your song, and drag it to your desktop. After the song is on your desktop go back to iTunes and delete the clipped version from you iTunes library (It won’t delete it from your desktop, it will only remove it from iTunes).
5. Go back the song on your desktop and right click on your song and chose “Get info.” Go to the name and extension section and change the extension from .m4a to .m4r (or you can just change the extension right from your desktop)
6. After the extension is changed simply double click on the file to add it to your iTunes library under the ringtones section. Sync your phone with iTunes and you’re done!

Recently, Apple has been cracking down on unauthorized iOS5 users. It has been determined that Apple has identified several developer accounts who broke their TOS by selling their UDID slots for a fee to iDevice users who wanted to try out the iOS5 beta firmware. Apple has begun shutting these developer accounts and if you are one of the people who purchased a UDID slot you will now notice that your device is nothing more than a paper weight.
Please follow the instructions below(Mac/Win) to downgrade from whatever iOS5 beta you are on back to 4.3.5 or 4.2.10(CDMA).
Step 1: Download iOS 4.3.5 or iOS 4.2.10
Step 2: Connect your device that is running iOS5 to your computer and turn it off.
Step 3: Put your device into DFU mode by holding down home and power for 10 seconds and then releasing power but continue holding home for another 10 seconds. If you have troubles, check out our DFU mode video tutorial.

Step 4: iTunes should detect a device in recovery mode and your screen should be black.
Step 5: Hold down shift(win) or option(mac) and press the "restore" button. Select the 4.3.5 or 4.2.10 firmware file you downloaded in step 1 and the downgrade will initiate. Once it is done, your phone will reboot and you will be back on 4.x firmware.
