well i got this stupid air bubble that formed on the glass and it seems that I'm not alone in having that happen.

Do you guys know anyone local that can repair iphones? I need the glass replaced I think.

its not just me...you should google it...a few ppl started having this problem recently as well.




when you look at it in person you can tell its not the actual screen but the glass

perhaps the bubble is under the glass but above the actual screen... but i dont know what's in that 'middle area'

laugh at me and you might jinx yourself!

You could do that or order it online and have it shipped to Point Roberts and pick it up from there.

So the first one I got yesterday, and it came with a dead pixel. They replaced it no problem, now I unlocked it, but I lost the installer. Please help? Goddammit, I hate being a noob.

Then un-n00b yourself with the awesome guides at ModMyiFone.com. The screenshots make the guides very easy to follow.

In your case, you have to install Installer on to it again.

More than one has them now, but the original one was the BigBoss one I believe.

Hey,

I was just wondering if 1.1.2 or even 1.1.3 is worth the upgrade right now. I'm still using 1.1.1 becuase I've heard quite a variety of mixed reports saying that the advantages arn't worth the troubles of upgrading and such.

Anyways thanks...

I think 1.1.3 is a worthy upgrade. Going to try it soon and will let you all know how it goes. I'm running a 1.1.1 phone with the 3.9 baseband.

my reception is pretty "eh" .. often calls going out keep failing and sometimes calls coming in dont even get received at all. the only way i know that someone called and it didnt ring is because i get a text saying who called.. even though there was no actual call received.

anyone else have this problem? im running 1.1.1

Huh, is that right? Hmm, I haven't found an idiot-proof solution to upgrade to 1.1.3, so I guess I'll hold off lol

I've never heard of this problem before. I'm running 1.1.1 and have never experienced any problems with it yet.

seriosuly?

it doesnt get more idiot proof than going installer...."soft upgrade 1.1.2 - 1.1.3"

then wait 20 mins for it to wokr and unlock.

that being said. 1.1.3 is buggy as hell, and i had to downgrade to 1.1.2 which took me quite a while =p
