[QUOTE=Flash_Fire;40376202]The iPod touch 2g has 36 hours music playing battery life
but the 3g only has 30 hours
why
[editline]22nd April 2013[/editline]
Also the 3g has the internals of the 3gs, yet it's not updated past 5.1.1[/QUOTE]
The only reason the 3GS got iOS 6 was because Apple still sold it at the time.
Help, please
I have a jailbroken iPhone 4S on 6.1, want to restore and upgrade to 6.1.2. Keep getting Error 3192. Everywhere I go the solution I see is to edit a system32/drivers/etc "hosts" file and remove a line. I go into that file, that line isn't there. I can't do shit.
How do I fix this.
You're restoring in DFU mode, correct?
[B]Fuck.[/B]
[sub]I love you.[/sub]
[editline]24th April 2013[/editline]
It works!
Seriously isn't that like rule 1 of jailbreaking
I completely forgot about DFU and no google results suggested it
[editline]24th April 2013[/editline]
Um. Error 1602. What now.
[editline]24th April 2013[/editline]
Okay now the phone won't turn on and when I try to go into DFU mode iTunes tells me it can't connect to the iPhone softwareupdate server or something like that (translating from Swedish).
It gets as far as "preparing iPhone" but the error just comes back.
[editline]24th April 2013[/editline]
And yes, I am following those directions. It just loops.
Do you have a laptop you can test with? My iPhone doesn't work well with my desktop either.
That tells me I have the wrong "build".
[editline]24th April 2013[/editline]
Went from testing on my regular Windows 7 PC to a OSX Lion Macbook on that.
Wrong build? Of what? That's a weird error.
Well, it's a translation from Swedish. I have no idea what it means, but it's apparently a more descriptive "Error 1392".
Funny sidenote, though, the original text is "felaktig byggnad" which directly translates to "faulty building".
Aaahhh. WWDC is June, and Haswell launches in June. I wonder if Apple has been working with Intel to get a Haswell rMBP done for it in time or if they'll need to do it at the inevitable October event. Probably the latter which sucks. I want a rMBP but I don't want the performance they get.
rMBP is a waste anyway. The RAM is soldered to the board. Anways, can't wait until WWDC anymore, I doubt they're going to launch Haswell, and my Wintel is fucking my small room up with all the cable mess in one corner. I'm using a cramped nightstand as a makeshift desk.
Yeah. Having the RAM soldered on was what made me decide the whole laptop was a waste too.
Wait no that's silly, especially when it ships with 8GB.
8GB certainly is plenty especially by today's standards. I'm only using 2.7GB of RAM in Win8 with a bunch of Chrome tabs and about 8 other programs running in the background.
For casual use it'd be fine but I'd like a little more if I were video editing heavy.

I've still never gone >8GB while doing editing in Photoshop and Premier simultaneously. Except one time when I had to shift four separate >1000 frame 1080p GIFs into one single GIF, that sent Photoshop way over the edge and maxed my i5 and most of my 16GB of RAM.
Well >8GB is for futureproofing, since I'd wager business tier applications will get more memory hungry in the future. But even then that's a lot to be doing at one time.
Welp I got myself out of DFU mode so it works. But yeah, seemingly I can't restore my phone. At all. Either I get Error 3192 or 1600-1603, and none of the solutions I've been given work to stop it. Tried on another computer, a Macbook nonetheless, with no progress.
I... guess I'm stuck on 6.1 forever, then.
[editline]25th April 2013[/editline]
Also before some strange shit happened, I tried to go out of DFU mode and it worked, but I had strange discolored thick lines of the left and right of my phone. Went back into DFU, tried to restore, failed, left DFU and they were gone.
I thought you couldn't restore any firmware that Apple wasn't signing, blobs or not, on a device with an A5 chip or above. I know I can't with my iPad mini because it throws a 1600 error so I'm trapped on 6.1.3.
Well shit.
We're stuck in update purgatory.
You know, I've almost had it with Apple by now.
And this is why I don't update my devices past the main revisions...
I like my SNES emulators, and Apple can pry them from my cold, dead hands.

When your iPad Mini requires a daily replacement from Apple it's impossible, since you can't walk into the Apple store with a jailbroken 6.1.2 device.
Apparently TinyUmbrella SHOULD work to restore jailbroken iDevices. That'd be nice and all if it recognized my phone at all.
Tell me, how open is Android...?
Oh. Well it depends from where you got the blobs from I guess. I relied on Cydia as usual and [url=http://www.iclarified.com/28970/saurik-mistake-renders-all-of-the-aptickets-cydia-saved-for-ios-6x-useless]that was retarded of me.[/url]
[editline]25th April 2013[/editline]
I dunno though. I thought the downgrade exploit didn't work above Apple A4 devices. Redsn0w and sn0wbreeze don't even recognize IPSWs for A5 devices and so you can't make a custom IPSW with stitched blobs and you can't get to pwned DFU mode.

Android requires what is literally an ARM server in a phone to run almost as smooth as a 4S. I've got 10+ Android devices I've used throughout the past few years and none of it is worth the stutter and slowdown you still get on the best device due to Google's lazy programmers, trashy apps, etc.
Fair enough. I agree the iPhones are smooth as hell but sometimes it feels like it's more trouble than it's worth.
Literally.

that wasn't the answer to his question though
to actually answer, it's much more open and if you're a power user anythng that annoys you about the way your phone operates can generally be remedied with a quick trip to the play store
while all the apps having to run in a java vm is kinda shit it's the price you pay for compatibility between devices. the slowdown is also practially nonexistent on the newer devices, and android handset makers are catching up to apple in terms of build quality (or surpassing them, in the case of the HTC One)
only hardware thing that I have a problem with is that apple seem to have a monopoly on amazing GPUs, compare the gpu benchmarks of the iPad 4 to the nexus 10 and it's no contest
It really isn't eliminated because so many Android apps run worse than iOS counterparts and that's outside the control of what the OEM can do. Absolutely no quality control. Also every flagship Nexus device can get super sluggish even in the launcher so it really hasn't been eliminated. It's a statement I see far too often from users who can't notice a blatant drop from 60 to 30fps during a scroll, something most Apple users would pick up on if they're used to iOS.
Also looking at Anandtech's review of the HTC One it just suggests its on par if anything, not surpassing.
I said that because going from an iOS device, Android is a real pain to deal with, and even with custom kernels and ROMs you're trading off a seamless fluid experience for that openness. Unless you're a real power user it's an unappealing experience. Obviously if you truly need that openness, iOS is completely worthless to you unless you can keep a jailbreak, and even then it's still harder to customize things like the launcher and layout compared to Android.
Personally I think you're just avoiding his question. He didn't ask how 'smooth' android is, he asked how open it is.
Simple fact is, it's more open than iOS.
And lol, 'super sluggish'. Maybe it seems super sluggish when you focus so hard on when it drops below whatever FPS it's usually at. It's not like Android is the only 'unappealing experience'. Both iOS and WP keep a higher framerate, but that's hardly the whole fucking experience.
Stop being so stuck up over how fucking smooth or unsmooth something is.
[editline]25th April 2013[/editline]
You don't even [I]have[/I] to be a power user to make use of that openness. It's just useful in general, and should be guaranteed where ever you go. Especially when you pay so much money for the device.

I'll put it short
[I]Very fucking open.[/I]
I'm a WP7.8 user, and I'm not really bothered by most Android handsets post SGSII. They're not [I]as[/I] smooth (and I really think Google should rectify that problem), but they're definitely getting there, and there's just a lot more functionality on Android, really.
