So? This proves nothing. If you didn't Photoshop, then you did the other two things I wrote earlier.

And along with the other screencaps you took, you didn't think to take one of the actual toggle switch?

The same reason anyone else posts a fake thread, attention.

+1. On the attention. We've got this thread and one about MMS going right now. Senseless.

Okay, I'll go ahead and say this, as others have said already:

The toggle switch for the 3GS Battery percentage (That has a battery icon and a percentage, and a percent sign) is under General>Usage.
He posted a screenshot of that screen, and there was no toggle switch, but there was a percent (Like the 3GS) at the top. Therefore, the only reasonable suggestion is that he's telling the truth.

I would say he could've scrolled down, but then how would it have shown his serial number as a 3G?
 
You know what I was just thinking? Here it goes. Try to bare with me. This is my theory of what happened.

1. He's running 3.1 beta on his iPhone
2. He decides he wants to downgrade back to 3.0.1
3. He finds a tutorial on how to downgrade by using iRecovery and the Terminal
4. He goes to piratebay and downloads the 2,1 (iPhone 3GS) firmware and attempts to install it.
5. He gets the install error (which the tutorial says he'll get)
6. He runs iRecovery in the Terminal and kicks the iPhone out of recovery mode
7. He's actually running 3GS firmware on the iPhone 3G
8. He goes to settings and sees a percentage toggle
9. He taps the toggle and his iPhone crashes (the toggle's not meant for the 3G)
10. Boots the iPhone back up
11. Percentage is still being displayed next to his battery and toggle is gone

What do you think? Sound reasonable?

Cus whether you have it or not doesn't effect me, or anyone else here, one bit at all.
I still think you jailbroke, decided against it, and restored. That has happened to a bunch of people, they didn't turn the % meter off before restoring, and it stayed.

Dont think that would work because the 3GS firmware has different drives that have to do with the different hardware. Not even sure if it would work since the drives would be incompatible and it would be searching for hardware thats not there!

Well... I know that *I* won't be testing it. 😀

And....The Percentage isn't the same type.
Jailbroken= 95

iPhone 3GS= 95% *Plus batter icon*.


He has the iPhone 3GS percentage, not the jailbroken one.

When my old iPhone was jailbroken, I had something conveniently called "3GS Battery Meter"

Someone should try this.
I can't because my 3G is unlocked and if I update to 3.1beta, I'd need to downgrade the baseband, but the baseband downgrader isn't updated for 3.1 yet. (At least I don't think so)
EDIT: Fuzzyband will work with basebands greater than 4.26.08 (needed for Ultrasn0w)
I still don't think I'm going to try this, someone else can.

Not true. I got some kind of battery health meter thingy in Cydia that gives the icon and percentage with %. 100 bucks says his is jailbroken and has Cydia/Installer hiding somewhere and he started this whole thread because he's sick of the lame news thats been pouring in lately and is probably quite bored.

Please don't flame me. Its the only logical reason.

Yeah, no one can photoshop the time too. THAT could never be done. 🙄

Come on. Give the guy a chance. I wonder if someone could add a hidden feature to an App Store app that turns on the battery percentage setting (like people did with emoji icons).

That's just sad.

That's a good idea if someone did that do you really think Apple would let it into the App Store?!
