[Apple] New iPhone 4s Coming on September ?

CanalMX reports that Apple is set to release a newly version of the iPhone 4 that do not have the malfunction of the reception by the end of September. The iPhone 4 users were reporting a lot of issues as antenna issues which experienced when holding the device. Also users complained about a proximity sensor glitch which may not be fixed in iOS 4.1. Below is the Google Translation from Spanish,

He [Marco Quatorze, Telcel's Director of Value Added Services] also said that as of September 30 Telcel will be available in new devices that do not have the malfunction of the reception and explained that the company will have several options to make changes from one phone to another flawed not to take: “If the previous plan is over, you will need to hire a new change for iPhone 4. If, for example, already has one and take three months for payment, change the cell with a re-employment and takes into account the previous time, so instead of paying 24 months, only done in 21. “

The question of the case beyond the phone company that we hire, it is worth evaluating whether to purchase the first version of iPhone4 with all its flaws, or wait a month to be available the new version promises to vindicate the reputation of this controversial but attractive device, though no doubt there will be many users who are not willing to lose this dream so long Smartphone.

Last month Apple offered free bumpers for iPhone 4 users but it seems like a mistake as it damages the iPhone. Also, the iPhone 4 bumpers program ends by end of September, so is that an evidence for the truth of this story? But is that the only way to fix iPhone 4 issues? to make a new one! [via 9to5mac]

iPhone 4 soon in 6 new countries: small hardware changes coming?

According to head of Telcel, known Mexican carriers will soon sell the iPhone 4, the new Apple device will be launched in Mexico and five other countries with small hardware ny change.

 According to his statement, Apple would have made subtle changes to hardware to clear the whole problem of low reception on the iPhone 4.

The new iPhone will be sold by Sept. 30, same date chosen by Apple to terminate the program "Bumper" which allows users to request a free care after buying the iPhone 4.

Could be a mere coincidence, but considering that the statements come from a leading exponent of a carrier who has entered into agreements with Apple, they should be taken into account.                                                                                                                       [via]

[iphone 4] Disable FaceTime to improve battery life?

FaceTime, one of the most important developments available on the iPhone 4, is the video call according to Apple, which works via WiFi and only two iPhone 4. The tests performed by our User Julian, and confirmed by us as the users of Apple's official support, however, appear active FaceTime significantly affects the battery life.

 But read the experience of our users:

iPhone 4 (firmware 4.0.1 since the first sync) and since then I've always had big problems with battery life that was never even remotely approached to data reported by Apple.
The first week performance marked the exhaustion of 100% with only 3 hours of use and 18 stand-by. The battery standby fell more or less than 3% per hour without being used. Strangely, even counting the hours of use saliva without anyone touching the phone.
Following various recommendations of the Apple support forums I did restore the phone as a new (and not back-up 3g above) and I reset the Exchange account that I use (google sync).
At this point the performance is improved and I got to 5 hours of use and 28 stand-by. The battery hours fell more or less than '1% per hour standby. But still far from Apple's statements.
And then ... the turning point!
Monitor Internet traffic on the bill I noticed tim access to times when I have not used the phone so I started keeping count Kb monitored traffic data in the phone settings. I then discovered that the iPhone 4 contiunazione accesses the data traffic in the background (ie without using the web applications that enable the connection), generating an average of 400 kb 100 kb downloaded and posted every hour!
After several tests with applications I discovered the cause: Face Time!
Disabling it data traffic remains frozen until use by the user. Even the counter hours of use has increased from only stopped when no one used the phone and surprise ... surprise ... the battery has stopped running out alone and so fast!
Now my phone marks 1 and 8 hours of standby + 6h use and the battery is still 50%!
Are three days that the text and finalemnte benefits are those reported by Apple.
I then immediately wrote a post in Apple's support forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12184831 # 12184831 and I'm already getting positive feedback from users!
The battery problem is extremely diffuse and could not believe he had so little resonance.

As mentioned at the beginning, we tried disabling FaceTime and actually notice an improvement in battery life. Personally I do not lament the negative battery lasts well as that of our user, but improvement is always welcome FaceTime and off when you are out and you are not under WiFi coverage may be better advice.

Step 4: Now download iOS 4.0.2 and extract it using Winrar or Winzip.
Step 5: Drag all files extracted files from iOS 4.0.1 and replace them with all files of iOS 4.0.2.
Step 6: Delete all ".dmg" files that end with 002 leaving files that end with 001. Then zip the new customized firmware and change it to ".ipsw" file, for example "downgrade.ipsw".
Step 7: This step is option, it helps you to ensure you get an SHSH file request for the future, but should not be necessary to just restore 4.0.1

Why Apple Should Stop Its War Against Jailbreak ?

Last week we reported that Apple applied for a patent which designed to specify the jailbrking and/or unlocking devices or removal of SIM card from a phone so the device will be disabled. Apple has also released a new iOS which only for patching the jailbreak hole, but the Dev-Team fired this back announcing that they will be able to disable the new patent.

I think Apple should stop wasting these big efforts in this war, Apple should ask,Why iDevices users interested in jailbreak? , the answer is that the jailbreak allow them to access to a growing number of apps which not supported by the App Store, specially (tethering and pron apps), but simply, just like tethering apps can be controlled by mitigating the tethering usage be AT&T or whatever the carrier is, with a metered data plans, also, when it comes to porn and anything else users could access, Apple can simply say "We don't support that garbage" maintain its policy that jailbreaking automatically void warranties.

Last reason of why Apple should stop its war against jailbreak is the revenues from the App Store which like a drop in the bucket compared to Apple's overall bottom line.which means that jailbreak (Cydia) will not affect Apple revenues.
Finally, after discussing these major items, I think it is quite logical that Apple shall stop the war against jailbreak.

There are Only 44 Million Active Monthly iOS Users, not 104 Million "Facebook Says"

It was just a week ago when Facebook posted that there's over 150 million active monthly users on mobile platforms, 104 million of them were browsing Facebook on the service’s popular iPhone app. This was a rather false figure, Engadget got in touch with Facebook and has updated its figures saying that there are only 44 million active monthly iOS users not 104 million. Here's what they say,

There are currently 44 million monthly active users of the Facebook for iPhone app. We recently changed the definition of mobile active users to exclude those who have only liked or commented on stream stories. Instead we are counting “active” users as people who have taken explicit actions within an application. This practice is more aligned with how we count overall active users for the site.

Well, it still an impressive figure. In my opinion, the 44 Million active monthly users are using iPhone and iPod touch not iPad, as the Facebook app bugs a lot on the iPad.

Can Twitter Really make a Twitter Edit Button?

There were a lot of tweets floating around by people (including me) about #TwitterEditButton which was started by Arron Hirst, people think that Twitter should introduce a new option to edit tweets they have already published. No one can deny the importance of "Twitter Edit Button", But can Twitter really make it?

The real question is Would it be technically possible? Yes, Twitter is working on "Annotated Tweets" feature which allows you to annotate a tweet with structured metadata. Also, Twitter has the ability to undo tweets. In brief, Twitter can make just a simple edit button but it may not be for long periods! So Twitter, how about an Edit Button?
