I cut and installed my SIM-the BB SIM-it worked as a phone but without the data-so I reverted to my BB,
I installed the Parrot hands free in the car ,re installed the SIM into the iphone,but when I tried using the iphone with the Parrot- the phone wouldnt get a signal- NO Service in the upper left hand corner.
I think the phone is just unlocked, no jail break.
So this thing is factory installed 4.0.2
therefore from what Im reading there isnt a jailbreak for it.
So whats the best course of action?
Later
where u got the phone from? US? CAN? France? UK?
U made calls i assume? It worked?
Is there cydia?
The phones came from the US supposedly unlocked.
My geek nephew spent exactly 30 seconds to figure every thing out.
He installed cydia on both.
It took me longer to get it out the fackin box
BUT the 32g was working yesterday- but the cell signal was spotty and overnight it lost all charge and this AM I cant get service.despite the 16 having full signal
I switched SIMS and the 32G still cant make calls-but the WiFi is working.
so its something with that specific unit.
Any advice is appreciated
Later

For some reason some of my contacts are moved from under the My Contacts group to the Other Contacts group. This happens without warning so only when I am looking for one of those contacts that are usually affected is when I realize what happened & then I have to take those contacts, move them back to My Contacts, merge some of them as necessary, combine others, & then re-sync.
This is really irritating. Anyone know any cause or solutions to this problem?
iPhone Dev Team wrote:With Turkey Day a few days off, today Apple publicly released FW version 4.2.1. As always, ultrasn0w unlockers please stay far far away from this official firmware (and all official firmware). Wait for the ability to create custom 4.2.1. IPSWs that don’t update your baseband! If you’re not an unlocker, read on!
The best news of all is for owners of iPhone3G, older iPhone3GS, and non-MC iPod touch 2G. Due to a combination of our original pwnage2 exploit, the arm7_go exploit, 24kpwn, and limera1n, your device is “just as jailbreakable as ever.” You reap the full benefit of an untethered 4.2.1 jailbreak.
Next are the owners of all the more recent devices. The good news there is that due to geohot’s limera1n exploit, all recent devices can be jailbroken (this will be true until Apple released new hardware that fixes geohot’s limerain exploit in the bootrom). The bad news is that right now, the 4.2.1 jailbreak is *tethered* on all of these recent devices. A tethered jailbreak means that each time your device loses battery power or needs to be rebooted, you must attach it to a PC or Mac to boot into the jailbroken state. @comex is working hard on a method that may untether the 4.2.1 jailbreak, but it will require you to have your 4.1 SHSH blobs in order to use it. No word on how much more effort it will take though (please don’t bug @comex about it!). (We also have an alternative method that may work, but @comex’s method is much more elegant.)
So when does all this 4.2.1 jailbreak action happen? Well if you’re a JB developer or tinkerer, you’ve already probably used the redsn0w mentioned in our last post to jailbreak 4.2.1 and at least get SSH working. But beyond that, there are still some last minute issues with MobileSubstrate and comex’s kernel patches that are being fixed. We’ll tweet and post a blog update when it’s all available (we hate to give ETAs, but barring any unforeseen problems, probably later today).
In the meantime, please make sure you have your 4.1 SHSH blobs for all your devices. These will be important even for firmware beyond 4.1 (using both comex’s method and our alternative, depending on how each of them turn out.)
ultrasn0w unlock: After redsn0w is officially released with the new Cydia and kernel patches, we’ll be able to assess the unlock situation. It’s already looking very promising though, so expect the unlock for the 3G and 3GS to be coming this week. The i4 unlock is taking more effort though, and no further concrete info is available about that yet.

M_2NR, never had an issue like that. Well the way it was described though. My current issue with using Google Contacts...

I would switch back to Outlook, but whenever I download the .csv & import to Outlook, the birthdays are usually way off & don't feel like going through that headache again. Beyond this, I am fine using this method.
Don't update to 4.2.1. TU cannot kick you out of the ensuing recovery mode. Apple was cute and put a BB ver requirement on the firmware.

The new BB requirement for firmware is a startling revelation. This has implications reaching beyond just folks that need to unlock... =/

More than one-in-four respondents (26%) said they plan to spend more on consumer electronics over the next 90 days, and 10% said they plan to buy a laptop in the next 90 days — the highest level recorded in a ChangeWave survey in three years. “The manufacturer most responsible for the surge in laptop demand is Apple,” writes research director Paul Carton, “with 36% of planned laptops buyers saying they’ll purchase a Mac – a huge 11-pt jump since our previous survey of a month ago (Oct ’10). “Simply put,” he writes, “it’s the highest level of planned laptop buying ever for Apple in a ChangeWave survey.”
