To all iPhone users
What OS are you using? i have a 2.0.2 (unlocked and jailbroken) i want to upgrade it to 3.0
One thing that is stopping me from doing it, is, I dont know if it will still work with a Qtel SIM after upgrading and unlocking it again.. On a simpler note, i dont know if Qtel (or any other)SIM will be able to work on a high verion of firmware.
anybody tried upgrading? please help.. thanks..
Anyone knows a shop that can replace the battery of original iphone ??
True RS.. its the best product i ever had... and for that matter anything by Apple. and the fact is Apple making 47% profit on every iPhone, just coz they are best in the design...still worth paying for that....
Thanks Shyams - will see if I can get hold of a kit.
Am very disappointed to be without the iPhone as I really like it. One of the coolest products on the market in my opinion. That goes for just about anything Apple makes.
the tool to open and repair iphones and iPod. this kit you should be able to buy from ebay or from any trusted chinese online market.. are you sure you didnt break the screen, if no. no use... good news is that there are many supplier selling the screen with the opening kit too online, but little are genuine..all the best
Does anyone know how to open an an iphone?
My 3G iphone got dropped on the floor recently and the screen filled with stripes of vaious colours and didn't respond to touch.
I am hoping that a connector has come loose inside, hence the question. Obviously if the screen is broken, that's another story. Makes me wonder how well iPhone screen stand up to hard knocks.
Any help appreciated.
4-7 days that is a long time.. i charge my iphone everyday cause i used it a lot, i travel everyday from Doha to Ras Laffan (vice versa) with the iPod running.. and watching you tube, surfing, and chatting with it at home.. its 1 year old now, but im still amazed by it..

First time i ever heard from a iPhone user on the battery life of iPhone lasting for 4-7 days. honestly this threw me out of my chair. two day is toughest to achieve for anyone.
You can jailbreak your phone and it will work perfectly with QTel, mime does. OS3.1.2 is fine and you will notice how much less battery it uses. I get 4-7 days out of mine here. (Turn off push though). It is not, apparently, illegal to jailbreak a phone just against the terms and service. Plus with jailbreak you can download xGPS and have a decent working gps system for far less than the rip-off price of a Garmin here.
stay on.. 3.0 sucks battery power. Apple is still working on it so as on 3Gs. so stick on with 2.2.

Make sure the firmware u choose that can be Jailbroken & unlocked then start the process, as of now 3.1 & 3.1.2 can be jailbroken but cannot be unlocked.
remember apple firmwares are very strong cannot be downgraded once u upgraded it, find a person who knows about it well, you may hire a person from QL classifields, there are many ppl doing it with a service charge.
hope below chart wuld give u more info about jailbreaking & unlocking firmware wise:-

I'm on 3.0 software on an iPhone 2G. It is buggy so if you can wait I would. Many people had wifi/bluetooth problems after the upgrade. 3.0 is jailbroken but you'll need to use pwnage on your phone to allow the 3.1 jailbreak to work. Check out the hackintosh forums for more info.
I think it was 100, or 150 riyals
chmb - how much did it cost u for that?

I had mine upgraded to 3.0 recently, as my iphone had frozen , so i took it to shop and they upgraded it anyway for me, and it's working fine ... I took it to Phone King (i think that's the name) on Al Nasr Street
DaRuDe...its illegal to support pirated hardware/software...
And does there have to be a illegal iPhone question everyday?...
yes if you upgrade it to 3.1.2 and face any problem Darude will give you full support to make it work with Qtel
better stay at 2.0.2 or upgrade it to 3.1.2 now
its available on itunes. 3.0 has few bugs.
