Reset it.

Hold home and power. It will turn off. But keep holding until the Apple logo appears.

[JR]

[JR]

Thanks for all your help chaps.

As a newbie where do i start ?

 

[Rich..]

Just been looking at composite video out leads for the iphone, but it says it's not compatible with OS 3.0, does this mean you can't have video out on OS 3.0> or is there another lead, or patch or something?

 

[Rich..]

Done some research (googled it) and apparently Apple use a chipped lead so it will only work with their, massively overpriced, cable.

What a f**kin liberty!

Weird one here but does anyboday's battery die like in hours,

It was fully charged this morning @ 4 when i left the house, and by 11.30 it was down to 2%,

i only used it for 40mins to listen to chris moyles podcast, surely this wouldnt die the phone, Wi-fi is off, so cant be that :S , is there a way to do Task Manager? to see whats running in the background?

There is a thread somewhere on here about something similar. E-Mail settings trying to connect all the time I think was the issue...

FFS doesnt work with Sky Tv App

 

[J273]

Ive Just bought Logmein ignition with it being on offer.

Logmein allowing me to remotely access my machine which works well.

The problem Ive got is i normally but my machine to sleep.The logmein app wont wake the machine up.

Ive bought another app on the app store called iWOL which allows me to remotely wake the machine.

Ive set the correct setting in the BIOS and set the network card to wake with a magic packet.

The iWOL apps asking me for the following which i think ive got correct.

NAME.....main machine
MAC Address.....Mac address for the network adapter
HOST.....IP given from my ISP
PORT.....7
LAN BROADCAST.....Off



From the instructions given Ive got to forward port 7 to the LAN IP of my machine...Can anyone tell me how i find the LAN IP of my machine?




Many thanks

The LAN IP address is simply the IP address of your computer on your internal network.
Open a command prompt and type ipconfig on your computer. It'll give you the IP.

Make sure it's UDP port 7 you forward as well. Although WOL should work over any transport or network layer protocol, it's normally sent as a UDP datagram these days.

EDIT: Also, make sure you configure the MAC address to be the MAC address of your internal computer.
The magic packet is a frame made up of 6 bytes of 1's followed by 16 repetitions of your PC's MAC address. If the MAC address doesn't match, your network card will ignore it and won't wake the computer.

Ok thanks....Is it the default gateway IP or the IPv4 Address?

Edit:Its the mac address for the Ethernet adapter isn't it?

It's the IPv4 address. The default gateway is the default route the computer takes to get to networks not otherwise specified in the routing table.

And yes, it's the MAC address for your computer's ethernet adapter. Type ipconfig /all into a command prompt to find it.

On the 3GS can you have your own Desktop Background/Ring Tones/Message alert tones WITHOUT Jail Breaking it like you had to on the 3G ?

Also, anyone with Orange and gone over the 3G/GPRS 750Mb Fair Use Policy?

 

[Tom]

NO and no.

 

[Ads_172]

You can make your own ringtones.

 

[Tom]

Yes, thats true.

 

[Cue]

First issue with mine today..

Fully charged it earlier to 100% then unplugged it..using facebook a little while later i noticed it was at 32% - Strange!

As I was using it, it was dropping battery percentage at around 1% every 10 seconds..

I looked again a few hours later and it was at 81%

Only thing I can think of is that I need to calibrate it so i'll leave it on charge all night tonight.

Any other suggestions?

BTW, it's a 3GS 3.0 jailbroken and unlocked..had no previous issues, been using it as it is for months.

What is the best/cheapest place to get an Iphone - OFF a contract (sim free?) Guessing Apple?

 

[AK]

Right getting a 3GS in Jan, is there a site that gives you a detailed guide on jailbreaking and the benefits?

There was one on here but i'd rather not have to wade through hundreds of rubbish to get to the bits i need

 

[Revels]

Theres loads on YouTube.

 

[AK]

Had a look on there, cheers.

The benefits just seem to be more apps? and more customizable interface?
