  1. Re:9% after a year? on iPhone 4 Screens Break 82% More Than 3GS · · Score: 1

    Despite not being able to easily swap the battery, the whole seamless construction thing does make a sturdier device. iPhones and Macbooks don't creak and flex like other devices

  2. Re:9% after a year? on iPhone 4 Screens Break 82% More Than 3GS · · Score: 1

    Yet I've had my 3G for over 2 years now, without ever putting a case on it. It's fell from my truck many times onto a hard concrete driveway. The only damage is cosmetic to the corners, even after landing face down and sliding a few times. I find it to be a pretty tough phone but I take better care of my electronics than most people, I think.

    I plan to get an iPhone 4 in the next few days and put an Invisible Shield on it. No Android phone has really impressed me, and I don't like the carrier having control of software.

    Hold up an object up to your eye about where your glasses would rest. Close the other eye that won't see the object. Look at the object, then look at the wall behind it. Edges should get fuzzy and details will get blurred.

    well of course it's blurred you made me take my glasses off!

    the wallpaper will certainly make a difference, but i believe the multi-tasking only hampers performance when in use. i am just sure to stay on top of what's loaded to memory

  9. Re:Jailbreakme on Flash Ported To iOS and iPhone 4 · · Score: 1

    I agree the performance is abysmal on my jailbroken 3G with multitasking enabled, but when i switch to safemode (disabling most of the jailbroken software) it's quite usable. i've found some tips online like disabling all the options of spotlight so that it's not constantly indexing the whole phone. i am still considering going back to 3.1.2 when i deligate it to another remote control soon though.

    Windows "feature" =/= a fault of the iPhone or iTunes. I really didn't think we'd need to get so pedantic, but the phone is also going to do a full backup before beginning to update. As I'm sure you're aware, that takes at least 15 hours on even the highest performance PC's. Maybe you can take a second to look at your screen when you connect your phone.

    The only problems you will face is new apps requiring a certain firmware version. Be careful when downloading app updates that the requirements haven't changed

  12. Re:Jailbreakme on Flash Ported To iOS and iPhone 4 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    between you clicking "update" and the update beginning, iTunes has to download a 230MB+ firmware file. this is adequate time to unplug your phone.
