Got a second hand 3G today for £100 so thought Id give it a blast.....

It seems sh*t boring.

So what can I do to it? It seems to have nothing on it. On the front page and only page, it has Messages, Calendar, Image, Camera, Missed Call, EMS, Calculator, Phonebook, Alarm, Settings.
Then there are 10 dots, then under these there are 4 buttons to press: Phone, SMS, Service, iPod.

Ive downloaded itunes 9, plugged in the phone.....but itunes doesnt pick anything up, which I dont know why!


Can I do things to it which wont cock it all up, and if I dont really take to the phone I can stick it on ebay and no-one will know Ive been tinkering with it?


Thanks

jailbreak it

Ive been trying to find how to, but I must be being a spastic as cannot find a decent guide........an idiots guide, and what to download.


(this is the 1st time Ive held an iPhone before as well by the way  :whoops: )

lots of vids on youtube, just be careful updating the phone software too soon on iTunes as they struggled to jailbreak the last release. Think blackra1n is out now.

try http://www.quickpwn.com for iPhone stuff

The ten dots would normally mean you have ten pages of apps to scroll through?  Setup your email etc and get some free apps for now

Will check that site out thanks.


The phone doesnt seem to want to actually connect to the computer really. I plug the phone in, and on the phone it says USB Config and gives the option of: Mass Storage, Webcam, COM port, PictBridge.
Ive tried clicking all of them, then going in to itunes, but cannot get the phone to how there.........

Also, Ive tried click the dots, but it doesnt do a thing

Swipe the phones screen left and right to move pages

lol,  :whoops:  oh yeah! there is quote a lot of apps/mainly games, but theyre all in Jap!!

Will have to delete all that crap.

Might be worth formatting the phone and starting again. not sure why it wont show in itunes.

Sorry to be a penis, but how do you format it?

When you connect the USB lead, what option of the phone do you normally select? Mass Storage?

Just removed everything apple from my PC, and reinstalled itunes again, and closed itunes down.


I connected the phone, selected USB Mass storage, then opened itunes.......should this then show the phone on the left hand side? As it doesnt

Try that

I tried something like that. Turn it off, then hold the button...........nothing appears though

your stepping into these new types of phones and you just got to get used to them, thats all. That does work. Unless you been sold a duff phone itunes will see it and it should default fine etc.
Just take it step by step and try again m8. If done right you should have the apple logo stay on for a bit then the connector image.
