Dear iPhone 4 Users,

The iPhone 4 has been the most successful product launch in Apple’s history. It has been judged by reviewers around the world to be the best smartphone ever, and users have told us that they love it. So we were surprised when we read reports of reception problems, and we immediately began investigating them. Here is what we have learned.

To start with, gripping almost any mobile phone in certain ways will reduce its reception by 1 or more bars. This is true of iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, as well as many Droid, Nokia and RIM phones. But some users have reported that iPhone 4 can drop 4 or 5 bars when tightly held in a way which covers the black strip in the lower left corner of the metal band. This is a far bigger drop than normal, and as a result some have accused the iPhone 4 of having a faulty antenna design.

At the same time, we continue to read articles and receive hundreds of emails from users saying that iPhone 4 reception is better than the iPhone 3GS. They are delighted. This matches our own experience and testing. What can explain all of this?

We have discovered the cause of this dramatic drop in bars, and it is both simple and surprising.

You cannot set MMS Settings via mobileconfig files (the method I use to set the Data Settings) so you will have to add them in my hand. I’ve had a lot of people ask me for these settings so I’ve decided to put them all in one place.

Over the next few weeks I will be adding a section to put MMS Settings for Different Carriers so you can enter them in my hand.

If you want to help and you know of (working) MMS settings) or even (Working) APN Settings which I have not got in my list please let me know and email to admin@unlockit.co.nz

Needed Info is displayed below:

ALOT of users have been complaining about problems Installing APN/MMS Settings after they have jailbroken their iPhone 3G with resn0w.

There has been a new version of redsn0w out now (0.9.5b5-5) which (I have been told but have not tested) fixes these issues. If you already have jailbroken your iPhone 3G with an older version of redsn0w you can rerun redsn0w again and don’t choose to install cydia again and it should fix the issue.

You can download redsn0w 0.9.5-5b5
Mac Version
Windows Version

I need a few people to test unlockit.co.nz from their iPhone 4. I have heard that it doesn’t work properly at all (maybe a bug in the OS for the iPhone 4).

If you have either a Carrier unlocked iPhone (say from the UK) or a Carrier locked iPhone (from the USA) can you please try my website.

What I need is the syslog when you are installing it. Download the iPhone Configuration Utility from http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/enterprise/

Run and with your iPhone connected try and install the file from unlockit. There will be an option in the program to see the syslog/log.
I need a copy of this log from the program (and screenshots/videos of it not working if you really want to)

Production version of the webstie has been updated to enable it to email the profiles now. If you get an error when installing via Create Profile you will have to use the Email Profile Option. This error is caused by the jailbreak/unlocking software which people use not via the iOS software itself.

Update: All the reports I’ve had have been from Jailbroken iPhones (and all except 1 on iPhones 3G’s) . The profiles install perfectly if they are sent via email to the iPhone and done via the email client. I will have that option set up alter today so until then make sure you have your iPhone’s email set up.

I’ve had chance to get an iiPhone which has the above error. If you are getting this error please let me know if its a 3G or a 3GS iPhone and if it has been jailbroken or not. The one I have is a 3G and is jailbroken and another person had 2 iPhones (3GS or a 3G) and the problem only occured on the 3G (jailbroken unknow)

I’ve found a work around to it on the iPhone I have but please let me know if its the 3G iPhones which have been jailbroken only?

There was an extended outage this morning (my time) of the website due to a DOS, This has been resolved and the website it back up and running now properly

I noticed that a few people where not entering any details into the APN Changer and then clicking Create Profile. This would create an invalid settings file and give an error message. I have added a few checks to the website so it will give a pop up on the screen if you are not entering any information into the form (or not selecting a country).

If your Carrier/Country is not listed please get in touch with me and let me know the Country/Carrier Name and the APN Settings so I can add it to the list.

We all know iOS 4 came out yesterday but it has put a little strain on my website today. I had over 20,000 visitors. A New record! Go Go iPhone. Now to wait until the iPhone 4 comes out!

If you want some advertising, this is a good time to get it as you’ll have LOTS of iPhone users going to this website. If you are interested then email me @ admin@unlockit.co.nz

There seems to be a bug that is affecting some people. if you have installed an APN Profile in Pre iOS4 and install iOS4 , the old profile may not be liked by iOS4 and hide it away.
When you try and install a new profile it will say you can only install one profile (but you cannot remove the old one after installing iOS4)

I suggest people uninstall the old profile first (Settings, General, Profile, Click on the Profile and then Click Remove.

Then you can install iOS and then install a new profile with no problems.
