jules Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 You guarantee that making the phone do more things at once will use more power? Brilliant. The brighter screen will use more battery too. I guarantee iPhone 5 has a bigger battery than this one and it will do more things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenGOD Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I can see multitasking being good for loading websites while you're doing other stuff, but not too sure otherwise doing stuff while listening to Spotify/Youtube. Reading a book while listening to music. Listening to music while playing certain games. Ah yes, I didn't think about listening to streaming radio, but I can see that. Good point. You can already listen to music while you read a book or play games though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly just having pandora continuously streaming while I use other apps i.e. gps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 yeah I used to jailbreak my phone, but I didn't really get much utility out of it, and by using folders, I fucked with the file system...lol I don't stream music really, so that's why I didn't think of that. It's a fair point though, as many people do stream music or YouTube. When I was thinking multi-tasking I was thinking more along the lines of having several doc files open at the same time, with a browser and iTunes in the background...having several doc files open on the iPhone screen would not be fun....heh heh.

jhonny Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 yep true about music/games. Also multitasking hands-free phone while using sat-nav would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 did anyone here order iPhone 4? also, the new OS goes live today, curious to see it in action and how quickly my battery dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcinsu Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 os4 doesn't show up when i search for software updates for the iphone... not out yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 i have not preordered. still trying to decide on getting it. my plan is to give my wife my 3gs and me get the 4 but then im into att for another 2 years. im not dying for a new phone as much as she is (hers is a pos lg) i dont want to be locked into att when verizon gets the iphone but then again i think there is a good chance that verizons first iphone could be a total mess. looking forward to ios4 as it will make my phone feel pretty new. i know its released today but when?

Rubin Farr Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 sweet, i'm selling my 3gs and upgrading to iphone 4 so probly just wait for the new phone this week instead of upgrading OS. i was barely a year into my contract and they still gave me the discount, and 32gb 3gs going for $350 on ebay i'll actually come out ahead maybe.

kcinsu Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 yeah, any background image you want. yeah, you can name the folders, although it is rather smart in auto-naming based on the content, seeing as apps are categorized in the app store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o00o Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 currently running ios4 without jailbreak cause I couldn't wait beta jailbreak is released very awesome so far really fast. backgrounding does not work on all apps yet as developers have to update their apps but first apps working are already dropping in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 one thing i don't understand is the multitasking. i mean, i get it for stuff like pandora, but for other apps, now it just means i have pages and pages of every app i have been into at the bottom? so when if i leave my photos app, when i go back in, its on the last photo i was on unless i double hit home and hold down the photo icon and then delete it from the tray? wtf is the point of that?
