Okay i just recently asked a question.about my factory unlocked iphone 3gs asking how to activate it but..

i probably shouldnt say this but,okay i just recently asked a question.about my factory unlocked iphone 3gs asking how to activate it. so i got too excited of aving it and couldnt wait for my tmobile sim card to come one more day. so i "hactivated" it (i know this voids all warrenty) and i jailbroke it just so i could use it as an ipod.it worked and i was syched.
BUTTT.... it asked me if i wanted to update the software to 5.1 and i was like " oh yes id love to" and it started downloading it and it was inrecovery mode the whole time .
when the download finished. i hit restore so i can put the software on the phone but the itunes had an error and the phone went glitchy and it does a rebooting loop. it shows the apple symbol with the slash through it for about 5 seconds and shuts off for a little bit (about another 5 seconds) and it starts up then loops the process. ive managed to turn the phone off but if i start it up it loops...what should i do? any help :/
Also it does not show up in my itunes because it is turning off to fast to detect.

Discussion of hacked phones is prohibited on these forums. Sorry, you'll need to go elsewhere to get support for a j'broke iPhone.

If T-Mobile in the US, while your phone will activate/work, you won't have FaceTime, MMS or 3G. T-Mobile, in the US, is not a supported iPhone carrier, thus all features of the iPhone may not be available. T-Mobile's 3G network, in the US, is not compatible with the iPhone.

Question about tranferring data from iPhone 3gs to iPhone 4

I just had a couple quick questions about transferring data from my old phone from my new iPhone 4. The reason i am wondering is because i am worried about whether i will encounter any problems when doing so.
First off i have already sold my phone today, i reset all data and settings from the phone and gave it to my buddy so its gone. I did a full sync and backup yesterday so all the necessary files should be on my computer(windows 7). Now, im basically wondering if i will run into any problems if i restore my iphone 4 from a backup. My 3gs was running 3.1.2 on att. Now i know IDEALLY i would have updated it to iOS 4 before backing it up and used the newest version of itunes, but i did not. Does anyone think this will be a problem for me?
Now with that out of the way, my biggest fear is losing my old data(text messages and notes mainly because i am a pack rat for those type of things) so id like to be SURE that none of my old backups will be deleted in any scenario. The reason i dont just restore it right now is because i want my new phone to be as clutter free as possible. I am going to be putting on here only the apps that i used often and would basically like to transfer over the BARE minimum; texts, notes, and highly used apps... So i guess my main question is can you transfer over only certain things like texts and notes after setting up the phone as a new phone. And if i were to set up the phone as a new phone what would happen to my old backups? Would i be able to selectively restore?
Im afraid that it might not be a possibility to transfer only certain things even though it should be.. i should be able to select a text messages folder and put it on my new phone and be done with it... But anyway i dont want to rant. Can anyone explain to me how this all will work?
ULTIMATE GOAL: Transfer only texts, notes, certain apps(and their data) and NOTHING ELSE.
MOST IMPORTANT THING: Not losing texts and notes. I can deal with putting all the old **** on my new phone and cluttering/slowing it down if i NEED to.
Thank you in advance, sorry for the long post.

If the most important thing for you is keeping old text messages, notes, and voicemail, then you'll need to sync the phone from your existing backup. I know of no other way to access those items.
Once you have synced to the new phone, check that you have those items that were important. Then you can reconnect your phone to iTunes, and change the sync settings to remove the apps or other items you no longer want to keep on the phone.
iPhone backups are stored by iTunes; you can see them by opening your iTunes preferences, clicking on "Devices" and then looking in the window. You can delete old backups from here. I don't know how you can open/read the backups though.
I don't expect you'd have any problems syncing from your old phone's backup, but it's definitely an either/or situation. Since you got rid of the old phone already, it's too late to email yourself your notes, or copy the text messages. Your previous backup is your only solution.

Question about buying an unlocked iphone 2g

Hey guys, so I have tmobile and Im using the blackberry. Ive had the iphone 3g before. Im starting to get back in the iphone mood. Ive been looking online for an unlocked iphone 2g. I am trying to be a little frugal and not spend alot of $$ but what im wondering is, is it worth it to pay the $200-$300 for an unlocked original iphone?? The newer iphones unlocked are really expensive. What do you guys think?? Cya.

"Let the buyer beware" applies big time when purchasing a used iPhone online especially an iPhone that has been hacked to be unlocked. This prevents installing a future firmware update since doing so re-locks the iPhone and the hack used to unlock the iPhone no longer compatible.
Hacking an iPhone for any reason is against Apple's license agreement for the iPhone, and is not supported by Apple directly or indirectly via these discussions.
An officially unlocked iPhone is expensive, but if such an iPhone is purchased new or used, the warranty and support is honored in the country where the iPhone was sold as officially unlocked only.

Hello , I want to ask some question about ipads \ How powerful is the iPad? How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web? Can you identify any shortcomings of the device? please help me :(

Hello ,
I want to ask some question about ipads \
How powerful is the iPad?
How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web?
Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?
please help me

it's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.

I want to ask the question about phasor measurement.

I want to ask the question about phasor measurement.the first one is that how can I accomplish the sychronized sampling with GPS?The other question is that how can I adjust the sampling rate for DAQ when the system frequency alter continuously.(if I used the DFT,due to the altering of frequency,I can't get the completed waveform)"

Synchronising DAQ with GPS depends on the DAQ sampling rate. If the rate is higher than 2 Hz you can sample the 1PPS pulse of your GPS receiver together with your data.
You change the sampling rate with the AI Clock Config.vi. You cannot do this on the fly so you must stop DAQ with AI Control.vi reconfigure the sampling rate and then start it again.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Ask All Your Factory Unlocked iPhone 4S Questions Here!

So here is the deal, I recently purchased a factory unlocked iPhone 4S from the Apple store and I am using it on T-Mobile with a micro sim that I got from T-Mobile. I have seen a few threads about this topic around the internet but I was weary of how the phone would work on T-Mobile. So, if you have any questions regarding this phone, feel free to ask them here and I will be happy to answer any questions that you may have if youre thinking of buying one yourself! This was an upgrade for me from an unlocked and jailbroken 3G 16GB.

I am looking to upgrade my Samsung Vibrant to the iPhone 4s and want to stay with T-Mobile. I live in Chicago and the only thing that has kept me back is the 3G. Now that Tmobile supports 1900mhz I plan on getting the unlocked phone and hope to use tethering.
Jlopez-
I too live in Chicago and I have been using the 4s on the T-mobile network since November. Everything works perfect: Facetime, iMessage, MMS, tethering (EDGE speeds) and push notifications. I think you're making the right decision in upgrading from the Vibrant to the 4s.
I am however anxiously looking forward to the 1900 mhz 2G refarming that is supposed to be taking place in the future. I did a little bit of research through Google searches and forums and found that T-mobile's 1900 mhz in Chicago operates on a frequency that is likely to be a candidate for one of the upcoming refarmed markets. Not sure how accurate the information is but I hope it's right. I couldn't find any speculation of dates other than late 2012 and in some cases late 2013. Hope this helps.

Question about personal hotspot. I know I can share GSM / 3G but I would like to know if my iPhone is connected to a wifi can I also share that wifi collection, through personal hotspot?

Question about personal hotspot. I know I can share GSM / 3G but I would like to know if my iPhone is connected to a wifi can I also share that wifi collection, through personal hotspot? And if so can it be through wifi or does it have to be Bluetooth or USB?
Sounds like an odd question but my phone will connect to BT Openzone so I want to share that with my iPad via personal hotspot. I could use 3G but then it comes off my data allowance and I don't want to have to buy a separate SIM for my iPad if I can avoid it. I can swap my sim from my phone, but that's a pain!
Thanks
Luke

No, unfortunately Personal Hotspot will only use your 3G plan.

Hi there,
Firstly, try a hard reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
If this doesn't work, try restoring your device. Put it in recovery mode if iTunes doesn't recognise it, and restore it from there. I have linked to instructions below.

Let me know if this helps,

Just recently I broke my front screen to my iPhone 5

Just recently I broke my front screen to my iPhone 5. Can I get it replaced for free? If not will I be able to get another iPhone 5 or will I have to get a 5s or 5c? How much is a replacement fee?

No. You can not get it replaced for free. Some Apple stores in the US and UK can replace the display on the iPhone 5 for $149. Those that can't can replace the entire phone for $269. You can not get a newer model. you will get the exact same model, color and capacity that you have now.

Okay i just recently asked a question.about my factory unlocked iphone 3gs asking how to activate it but..
