I'm calm, he's the one who appears to be getting upset.
He should take it easy before he becomes like that screaming German kid playing Unreal Tournament.
Why what? Why won't I believe you?

Thanks but i have never ever jailbroke my iphone 3g i will only jailbreak it when i get a new iphone so i can have one with mods and stuff but if you don't believe me that's fine i just thought people would be able to or already have it too.
So? This proves nothing. If you didn't Photoshop, then you did the other two things I wrote earlier.
+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?

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

If you don't believe me that's fine, I know I'm telling the truth so, your loss trying to get everyone on 3g battery percentage without Jailbreak
Anyone still believe me, look at the top the time and look at my post couldn't photoshop every pic that quick could i?

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).

You'll see when i post the vid on saturday friday
And Why would i go through that much trouble just to make a thread?
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?!
