So you rename Evo shit to iPhone as your own little private nerd joke. All jokes aside have you ever been within 2 feet of a female that wasn't related to you?

Re: MERGED - IPhone 4

New/Hidden Features of iOS 4
MY favs are in red.

Cellular Data On/Off
You now have the option to toggle cellular data off.

SMS Character Count
Guilty of running long on short messages? Now you can turn on a character count for SMS.

SMS Search
Just as you can search your inbox, you can now search SMS messages.

Home Screen Backgrounds
You can set separate backgrounds for your lock screen and home screen.

Camera Zoom
By tapping the screen or sliding the little bar, you can zoom in and out when taking a picture.

Web and Wikipedia Search
Can't find what you need on the phone? Jump to the Web or Wikipedia straight from the global search screen.

Borderless Document View
When screens are small to begin with, every millimeter counts. Document previews in the Mail app now eliminate pesky iPhone borders, giving you the most space you can get. (Still not much, but a marginal improvement.)

Streamlined "New Contact" Screen
You can now enter more contact data without leaving the main screen. When you consider that every green plus signifies an annoying jump to another screen, you can easily see how much better it is now.

Events, Faces and Places in the Photo Menu
If you are an iPhoto user, you can now sync pics to the iPhone (and iPad) via Events, Faces and Places, meaning less reliance on the artificial act of creating new albums.

Lyrics/Podcast Data Toggle
UPDATED: Though viewing lyrics you pasted into iTunes (or podcast data) on your iPod Touch or iPhone can be fun, apparently some people wanted to be able to turn it on or off globally. Now there's a toggle. Happy?

Spellcheck!
Now, wherever you're typing, those little red underlines aren't far behind. Just remember that Apple's blind-eye-towards-profanity policy will certainly apply here, as it does with auto-correct.

Resize Photos While Sending
This very cool time-saver pops up when you're emailing a photo, just after you hit "Send." Depending on how big the file is, you can have two to four size options, including "Actual Size."

New Playlists
On-the-Go Playlists seem to be officially dead in iPhone OS 4, replaced by a more sensible "Add Playlist..." The benefit here is that you know it's something that will be synced back to iTunes, and you get to name it up front.

Art in Album View
When you browse albums, and find one you like, you get more than just a list of tracks and a shuffle command. You get a little thumbnail of the album itself, and the length, track count and release date.

App-Specific Location Services
By heading to Settings > Location Services, you'll be able to toggle which apps you're allowing to find your location and see which ones used the privilege recently based on the little compass arrow icon next to them.

Game Center
There's not much that can be done in the Game Center right now, but one day it'll allow you to play against your friends, compete for high scores, and earn achievements.

Email Threading
You can set your email messages to thread.

Long Alpha-Numeric Passcodes for Lock Screens
No longer are you limited to guarding your precious data with four numbers! Now you can set longer, alphanumeric passcodes for your lock screen.

Unified Inbox
You can view all your emails in one spot or segregate them to separate inboxes.

App Folders (with Alerts)
A lot as been said about app folders, but did you know that if any alerts hit any apps inside a folder, the folder gets an exclamation point?

Contact Pictures in Emails
If you receive an email from a person who has a picture in your contacts, you'll now see a tiny image of him or her in the corner.

Folders in the Dock
It's not surprising, but it's good to know that you can in fact stick folders into the dock.

Closing Apps
Curiously enough, it's possible to actually close apps from the app tray. All you do is hold down an icon—just as if you're trying to delete it—and wait for the minus sign to pop up.

A Shiny New Calculator Icon
It's not a crazy feature, but the calculator icon does look a bit different now—same old calculator app though.

Birthday Calendar
There's a birthday calendar—which you can toggle off—which compiles all the birthdays from your contacts.

Smart Links For Dates and Addresses in Emails
Addresses and dates in emails now turn into links which can be used to look up the locations or add the dates as events. This is similar to what you see in the Gmail web client.

Double-Tap and Hold Brings Up Phone Favorites
Not our favorite hidden secret, the beloved Phone Favorites shortcut has been demoted. Instead of the double tap—which now brings up the task manager—you have to double-tap and hold. Single-tap holding of course triggers Voice Control. Now, what the hell happened to double-tap for iPod controls? Anyone know? Apparently double-tapping the home button when music is playing will still bring up the iPod controls when the screen is locked.

Bluetooth Keyboard Pairing
You can now pair your Apple bluetooth keyboard with your iPhone.

Failed SMS Notification
In the past, you wouldn't be aware if an SMS failed to send until you actually checked in the message screen. Now you get a lovely little exclamation mark to notify you that something went wrong.

Note Syncing
Hello! There's now a toggle allowing you to turn on sync for notes.

In-Page Video Playback in Mobile Safari
Instead of bumping you to a QuickTime mini app every time you stumble upon compatible video, the new iPhone Safari browser does what the iPad does, and shows you the video right there on the page. If you want to go full screen, you give it a tap. It's your choice now.

Vertical YouTube
You can finally watch YouTube videos in a vertical orientation.

Keyboard Layouts
You can switch to your preferred type of keyboard layout.

That's very strange because all the pics i too with the i4 and EVO the EVO's looked way better. I guess washed out colors are better than vibrant colors.
 
Re: Yet another Iphone 4 Evo 4g thread

Yes I have. and I'm aware you can change how they look and where they are. It's just that at least what I've seen with a lot of people with phones, they have a widget or icon in every corner. A giant clock, the temperature, a facebook feed, a task killer icon, a news icon, etc so every inch is used. That's fine for some people but I just find it too busy. Like I said, its a personal preference and a observation on how widgets was the thing 5 years ago and no one mentions them ever now, except for Android.

I still don't see what your complaint is about...too much freedom??????

That doesn't make any sense....especially since the iPhone requires all your apps to cover every corner (that whole cluttered look you just described) while with android you could have NOTHING on your home screen and just use the app drawer to access your apps.

iPhone 4 camera beats the smartphone competion

iPhone 4 camera beats the smartphone competion

Heather Kelly – Fri Jun 25, 8:00 am ET

Camera quality is a competitive area for the current crop of smartphones. With each new device, the gap between phones that happen to have cameras, and actual point-and-shoot cameras, shrinks.

To accurately see how good the iPhone 4's 5-megapixel new camera really performs, we put it through the same battery of tests we use for point-and-shoot digital cameras, and rated it against other cutting-edge smartphones, including the new Droid X.

The iPhone's camera stats

The iPhone camera is 5-megapixels, but as Steve Jobs pointed out in his WWDC keynote, megapixel count alone doesn’t equal good images. Two of the smartphones we tested against the iPhone had higher megapixel counts, but they still scored lower on image quality tests.

The reason for the discrepancy? The iPhone packs its 5 million pixels onto a 1/3.2-inch backside-illuminated CMOS sensor. Sensors with backside illumination technology move the wiring from the front side of the sensor to the back, so that it’s behind the light sensors. This allows more light to reach the sensors without being diffused by the circuitry, which means the camera can capture better low-light images.

Another factor contributing to the camera’s good low-light performance is the size of its pixels. Bigger pixels capture more light, which makes for better images. Apple retained the same pixel size that it had on previous iPhones instead of shrinking them down to fit more megapixels into a smaller area, which is something many cameras do to inflate their megapixel count.

As on many smartphones (including previous iPhones), the iPhone 4’s 3.85mm camera lens has a fixed aperture of f/2.8, and automatically adjusts the shutter speed and ISO to get the best exposure. In our tests, we managed to make the ISO go as low as 80, and as high as 1000. The longest exposure time was 1/15 of a second, and the shortest was 1/10000 of a second.

The iPhone 4 is still very light on camera controls, especially compared to a smartphone like the EVO 4G which allows you to manually adjust settings such as white balance, ISO, and exposure compensation.

What the iPhone 4 has is the same tap-to-focus feature that debuted on the 3GS—tap anywhere on the screen and the camera will focus on that point and adjust the exposure for that spot. There’s a 5x digital zoom slider, which essentially crops your image in-camera. There is a new LED flash which can be set to Auto, Off, or On. You can toggle between the main camera and the new 1.4-megapixel front-facing camera. Tap-to-focus works on the front camera, but digital zoom does not.

If you switch over to Video mode, you’ll be able to use the same controls. While a video is recording, you can turn the light on and off, and tap the screen to change your focus from one subject to another. Double tapping on the screen zooms in so that your video fills the entire screen, though it is still recording at the same 1280 by 720 size. The iPhone records 720p HD video at 30 frames per second (fps) and the front facing camera records 360p video. You cannot toggle between the two cameras while it is recording.

Re: MERGED - IPhone 4

Go enjoy the phone that you have man.. why you so worried about the Iphone?

my interest lies in the progression/ evolution of the industry, not some "my phone is better than yours" bullshit.

i just pointed out that the new features that people are so excited about in the iphone are pretty much standard features on other smartphones. you agreed so no argument there.

LOL...Diving you getting emotional again. I give you till the end of the day before you start yelling "Haters!" and storm off of BGOL for a day.

Re: iPhone 4 camera beats the smartphone competion

I have both phones and i use the EVO for point and shoot and the iphone 4 to record. I have to mess with the EVO's settings for the camcorder. But none the less the iphone 4 camcorder is awesome. Point and shoot is prefer the EVO.

PwnageTool 4.01 Available to Jailbreak iOS 4
from The iPhone Blog by Simon by Simon Ng


The infamous iPhone Dev team is working really hard. After the debut of ultrasn0w and redsn0w beta, the team has just released PwnageTool 4.01 to support jailbreak of iOS 4.

As usual, PwnageTool is for Mac OS X only. The latest version of PwnageTool adds the jailbreak support for iOS 4. For Mac user, you can use the tool to jailbreak iOS 4 for your iPhone 3G and 3GS.

Before you go ahead to download the tool and kick off your jailbreak, as advised by the team, please read through the notes carefully:

Supported Devices

PwangeTool 4.01 only provides jailbreak support for iPhone 3G, 3GS (with old bootrom) and iPod touch 2G. For other devices that are not on the list, please DO NOT USE the current version of PwnageTool.
The tool only recognizes the official firmware file of iOS 4. Please do use the developer version of iOS 4 even if you got one.
For iPhone 3GS

For iPhone 3GS user, PwnageTool only works on previously jailbroken 3GS devices with the old bootrom. If you are using newer version of bootrom or you haven’t jailbroken your iPhone 3GS before, the tool is not for you.
If you got a jailbroken iPhone 3GS and you did not use Spirit for the jailbreak, you can use PwnageTool 4.01 to create a custom firmware file (.ipsw) and restore your iPhone via recovery mode.
For iPhone 3G

Unlike iPhone 3GS, PwnageTool supports both jailbroken and out-of-the-box iPhone.
If you are using jailbroken iPhone 3G running OS 3.1.2 and you did not use Spirit for the jailbreak, you can use PwnageTool to create the firmware file (.ipsw) and restore your iPhone via recovery mode or DFU mode.
For those using out-of-the-box iPhone 3G (i.e. you haven’t jailbroken before), you can create the firmware file and restore it via DFU mode.
If you are using jailbroken iPhone 3G running OS 3.1.3, you can also use PwnageTool to create the custom firmware to upgrade and jailbreak iOS 4. However, you may be a bit tricky to select the restoration mode. According to the iPhone Dev team, first try to use recovery mode. If it doesn’t work, use DFU mode to restore the custom firmware.
As for iPhone 3G users, you may consider to use redsn0w. The latest beta version of redsn0w also supports jailbreaking on iOS 4.
Make sure you understand the above points before jailbreaking your iPhone. If you are ready, you can download the tool from here or here.

For the usage of PwnageTool 4.01, it should be very similar to its predecessor. I will put up a detailed guide in upcoming post. But at the mean time, you may check out the earlier guide as reference.

Lastly, if you are unsure about anything of the above, feel free to leave us comment. We will try our best to help. And, don’t forget to subscribe to our RSS feed or join us on Facebook for any update about jailbreaking.
