peasepud 59 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 How easy is it to put 3rd party apps on the iphone without going through the apps store? You have to jailbreak your phone (sounds scarier than it is!) http://www.iphonehacks.com/jailbreak_iphone/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasepud 59 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Does anyone know which is the best internet browsing phone or is it really a waste of time trying to access toontastic via a phone. Would a net book be a better option. A netbook is obviously a better way to browse but its a lot less practical. Ive got an Acer netbook which I use when Im away from home and its a piece of piss to carry round and is canny enough quality with a 10" screen but you still wouldnt have it on you all day. Cant fault the iphone though, screen is obviously way smaller but the pinch and stretch facility makes it easily readable and Ive yet to find a site that doesnt render perfectly on the Safari browser it uses....tell a lie, there is one problem, sites that have scrollbars within them ie a main viewing area and part of the area contains a scrollbar, the iphone doesnt know how to handle those so you cant scroll them. Few and far between thought tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Found this today, it's a handy trick that allows you to save youtube clips as mp4 movies, more handy for ipod touch users than iPhone users but good all the same. http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/04/d...-mp4-files.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddy 9 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 silly question but!! can you link the iphone to a laptop and use it as modem? my gf has just moved and does not have internet yet ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I'm not 100% but my guess would be no, the bluetooth function is only for headsets, and I'd guess the only accessibility via the USB would be for iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 silly question but!! can you link the iphone to a laptop and use it as modem? my gf has just moved and does not have internet yet ta Yes, if you jailbreak the phone (piece of piss, see elsewhere in this thread) and then download the modem app. Its fast as well, when I had router problems I used the iPhone off my main PC and you couldnt tell the difference. Only problem is you cant charge the phone at the same time (some daft bug) so it drains the battery, maybe 1 hour or so use at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Not sure if this has been posted, but you can get free texts through your operator, to use online. This app can be downloaded to your PC/Mac desktop, or else your iphone /itouch for free texts. Not sure if it works on all networks, worth a look though : http://jsmsirl.sourceforge.net/JSMS/JSMS.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Will that adversely affect jail broken phones at all? Yes, dont update until the new version of the Jailbreak has been developed and fully tested. Its probably time I updated my firmware to the last one (2.3?) and then rejailbroke it as Im running on the older version. And yes ChriszyD Shazam is class, also Last.fm is good too.
