Ok i going to stand down cause i no F all about this stuff lol.

Don't mean to be mean, but I don't think unlockthatiphone.com are too familiar with consumer law either.

See with the iphone that we sell if someone goes wrong we dont send them to apple Stephen Fixes them himself so we supply our own warranty as such.I am not in charge of that side anyway as you can tell lol.

Which is a perfectly legal offer. However, under Irish consumer law, the consumer may, instead of a repair, demand a replacement or refund.

I'm sorry for going off topic a little here lads, but I think it's important to know our legal rights and responsibilities, especially when it comes to consumer law.

With regards to Iphones, unless we bought them personally, in a shop, with proof of purchase (in whichever form that may come), we are pretty much screwed. eBayers can forget it.

I had a Discussion with this with Stephen, If the iphone becomes unrepairable faulty(without user damage which has tried to be done before) they it will be repaired everything can be replaced in the iphone well almost everything. If the baseband is screwed them goodbye iphone, Thats what some ipod hifi do etc its the magnetic that screws the baseband, Needless to say i wont try my iphone in my ipod hifi.

I'm off to the US in a couple of weeks, I think I'll pick up an iPhone for myself (delayed Birthday present), any tips on where to buy and how much to pay? I know they are $399 but that is dependant on getting a contract as well (or is it?)

PowerHouseDan · 30-01-2008 02:15PM

Well in a couple of week 1.1.3 phone should be after taking over 1.1.2 which may make it harder to unlock.

Hi Dan,

Can you elaborate on this one a little for me please? Is it not recommended to use the iPhone in the iPod hifi so? If so, it's just sheer luck I haven't already done so by now!

Thanks.

PowerHouseDan · 30-01-2008 02:45PM

Alot of ipod hifi mess up the iphone and are not repairable. There is something magnetic in them that screw the baseband there has been alot of cases with Ipod car Stereo's.Even the apple hifi has had reports that it screws the bandband. Just to add its not all Hifi's/stero's but i dont fancy taking the risk on mine.

Connecting an Ipod hifi to an Iphone damages part of it's core firmware? Where've you heard this Dan?

madmoe · 30-01-2008 02:54PM

I have been using my iPhone since September with my iPod Hi/Fi and thankfully have not had a problem in the world......just my two cents worth.

PowerHouseDan · 30-01-2008 03:13PM

There was a massive thread in hackint0sh. and also i asked my contact in Apple and he confirmed it.

As i said its not all Hifi.

Hi Benifa,

Thanks for that but yeah i have run that.

Anything else it could be? So annoying not being able to send them:mad:

PowerHouseDan · 30-01-2008 03:37PM

Take out your xsim and realign it.

Thanks for all the links Dan. I've check each one (and each page), but I can't find anything about a magnet screwing the baseband. Could you point it out please? It'd be the first time I've ever heard of a plug-in hardware accessory damaging firmware. Can't find anything on google either.

PowerHouseDan · 30-01-2008 03:40PM

It doesn't state on any of the websites as i said after talking to my source at Apple thats what they found the problem to be.

Makes sense. So Apple in Cork are pretty knowledgeable if Iphone hardware issue then, albeit the phone isn't released here? That's efficient of them!

PowerHouseDan · 30-01-2008 03:51PM

Yup there is a iphone dep in Apple cork which deals with o2 uk customers.And repair them.

I think you should try your message centre settings.

PowerHouseDan · 30-01-2008 04:18PM

I am sure cremo had the same problem have a look at his posts.

Just to clarify, we are talking about the Apple iPod hi-fi here, not some other 'compatible' brand name here, yeah?

Thanks.

http://iJailbreak.com/repo.plist

Add this to your sources in the Installer and then you can run "iJailbreakMobile" that lets you upgrade your currently Jailbroken 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 firmware to the latest 1.1.3 seemlessly.

You don't even need a computer, just a Wi-Fi connection.

PowerHouseDan · 30-01-2008 04:23PM

No other brands more so than Apple.

Sorry not trying to be stupid but i cant find Cremo and the message settings

PowerHouseDan · 30-01-2008 04:26PM

Thats because you cant access msg settings on the iphone
