yellowsnow

[xpsm1730]

Friends,

I need some help.

I bought the Iphone 3G a month ago.

I activated it using Cyndia and have been using it for a month without the original At&T sim. I am using it with NO SIM and just using the other functions.

I got a T-Mobile sim today and want to install yellowsnow so I can use the T-mobile sim on my iphone.

Whats the best way? Are there step-by-step instructions?

I read somewhere some stuff about the baseband needing to be 2.something .. how do i check this stuff?

Thanks

 

[xpsm1730]

Just checked. I have version 2.2 and modem firmware 02.28.00

someone guide me please?!

 

[xpsm1730]

i can't find yellowsnow via cyndia

there is no edit button in packages

help!

Go into Cydia, then Manage, Sources, Edit, add then add this source: http://apt9.yellowsn0w.com/

Install yellowsn0w and ta-da.

The E is Edge, which is like 3G but not as good. I'm not sure why you're WiFi keeps disconnecting, how many bars of WiFi are you getting?

 

[xpsm1730]

I get full bars

Ever since i installed yellowsnow and started using my t-mobile sim i have been facing this problem

I get an E instead of the bars

then i go to settings and wi-fi .. and it shows that I am connected. so i press the home button and the E disappears and i get the bars again.

but i have to keep doing that process evertime i get my phone out of my pocket. once the bars come back the net works.

is E part of t-mobile internet? I have not subscribed to that .. is there a way i can set the iphone to pickup internet only from wi-fi and still use my t-mobile sim?

thanks

Installed SBSettings or BossPrefs and just turn off Edge.

how?

 

[jobsfnby]

go into cydia and search for sbs settings or boss prefs....for boss prefs you get an icon on the home screen and with sbs settings you have to swipe your finger on the status bar for a menu to flip down

 

[xpsm1730]

neither show up in the search in cyndia

Just search 'boss'. And it's Cydia, not cyndia. No n.

You may need to add the BigBoss source, but you shouldn't have to. The source is http://apt.bigboss.us.com/repofiles/cydia/

 

[xpsm1730]

so install boss prefs 2.16?

Is it Chlamydia??

Sure

Yes, then disable Edge if you don't want to be using any internet on T-Mobile, with possible charges. This should also fix your WiFi problem

 

[xpsm1730]

done

installed it and turned off Edge and Wi-Fi then turned on wi-fi - just followed instructions

it still gives me an E when i turn on the phone and then changes to wi-fi bars in a few seconds

Do you have any mods/themes active? I know one changes the 'o' to and E. The iPhone will automatically disconnect from WiFi when not in use, that maybe what you're experiencing?


If nothing is fixing the issue, you may need to restore and re-jailbreak

it would never auto disconnect from wi-fi when not in use. previously when it was on standby it would vibrate when i got a mail .. so the wi-fi was always on

now when i unlock it from standby it shows E and then in a few seconds the wi-fi comes on

Yes that has always happened to me, perfectly normal. It's just to save battery when the phone is locked. Not sure why yours is an 'E', mine is usually an 'o'. Again, it maybe some theme/mod you've got from Cydia that's doing that.

so this happens only after installing yellowsnow?

it never happened before i installed yellowsnow - i've been running the iphone without a SIM for a month (jailbroken)

installed yellowsnow and a t-mobil sim last night and ever since i get an E on standby and then connects to wi-fi

is there no way to kick the E and restore wi-fi to auto on all the time?

No, it's happened to me since I got the phone.

So, you only had a SIM in since yellowsn0w? That would explain why it started when you installed yellowsn0w then.

I'm not sure if there's a way to change it.

ok - i get it

you mean ALL iphones with SIM cards in ... have an E (in your case O) on standby and then wi-fi connects in a few seconds when the phone is started?

thats dumb

How is it dumb? It makes good sense -- why would you need to be connected to a WiFi network when the phone is off? 802.11b/802.11g is pretty power-intensive, and it doesn't make sense to keep AP associations if you're not using them...

 

[synagence]

Thats how its meant to happen ... when the phone goes to sleep WiFi is turned off, when you wake the phone up it then reconnects to WiFi ... if it was on 24x7 it would destroy the battery life.

install yellow snow manually..

Guys,

Is there a way to install yellow snow not via wi-fi? Can i install it manually without using wi-fi connection?

Please help...thanks..
