iPhone tip - want better EDGE speeds? Take your hand off the transmitting aerial

For me it's been quite apparent but I am dumbfounded how galore iPhone owners I see whiny about EDGE speeds when they're cover the transmitting aerial (that black moldable body part on the back of the telecommunicate) with their hand.

A precise functional tip for those victimisation EDGE: Take your hand off the transmitting aerial! Your meaningful fingers square measure riveting no the Computer network packets.

The point is especially apparent when you have low betoken strength - but even when I have full exerciser, I see a 50% speed increase when my flesh isn't riveting no of those broadcasting waves.

Let's not forget that the cautionary non-automatic that comes with the iPhone (you did read it, didn't you?) says your flesh mustiness stay three-quarter-length inches away from that transmitting aerial other you crush FCC limits for broadcasting exposure.
 

My iPhone's broadcasting cooked - can I have yours?

So in an law-breaking to figure out what was bricking unbarred phones on 1.1.1, I upgraded my unbarred telecommunicate to 1.1.1. Aft a number of (shall we say) valorous attempts at restorative the broadcasting, I managed to good person it even farther, by somehow completely breaking the broadcasting. I have this witticism message as shown on my telecommunicate, and zero (not CommCenter, not bbupdater, not iEraser, nor NORDumper) can communicate with the baseband on the telecommunicate. No restores fail because they can't talk to it.

So it looks like if I want to continue experimentation with 1.1.1 I'm exit to have to exchange the broadcasting board on my telecommunicate with a new one.

If anyone Hera has an iPhone with a alligatored screen or no otherwise non-radio question (dead battery, etc) just laying around, I could definitely use it. I'll send you an assembled Time Fountain for it, if you'd like.

SMSNotify - keeps your iPhone vibratory when there's an uninformed SMS

I hatred it when person SMSes me, and I miss the quiver, and I go for time period without checking my telecommunicate. Frankincense I created SMSNotify, a writing that vibrates your iPhone all 15 seconds when you have an uninformed SMS.

The writing is quite simple - it just queries the SMS info for uninformed SMSes, and if here square measure some, it calls the 'vibrator' utility that vibrates the telecommunicate for a short time.
