I love my iphone to death but as a first gen user i need push for my aim, yahoo etc. thats the only reason i am not going back to the iphone just yet.

Activate your phone with an AT&T sim after jailbreak and you will get push for apps. Borrow a friends sim or just buy one for cheap at AT&T. It does not need to be an activate sim, just an AT&T one.
PS- I always restore and jailbreak with an AT&T sim in the phone. May be a solution to some problems or might just be a habit, but I also never have any problems that a lot of people talk about on here with unlocks and jailbreaks.

push works on my jailbreak phone. even cracked apps have push. what is dude talking about?

[@heyart]

I thought the OP meant working Push Notifications for hacktivated phones. (Apparently so did a few others...)

However, so solve my problem, I ordered a at&t SIM from eBay. Should be here soon.

Puch isn't all that, it sucks, drains battery life sooooo bad, I get 6 hours max on my iPhone and I'm not even using an app that requires Push. I only have Beejive but even when I'm not using Beejive, battery life drains.

You are confusing Push with Active Sync.

If you turn on Push for exchange then you will get the battery drain you are talking about. this is because Active sync is constantly running and "listening for updates".

The new push that is used for apps is more akin to the blackberry push in which most of the service is done on apple servers for listening and it's pushed to the device (without the device needing to constantly be checking for updates.)

Turn you push email off and leave the bjive notifications on. your battery life should improve.

[A.T]

^It's not Push email, I don't even use the Mail app. The Beejive notifications are off and the battery life has increased to 11 hours, still bad though. Oh and does anyone actually like you???? Lol

In that screenshot, how can you have 70% and the plug icon in the battery, I get a an "electric" sign when it's charging and then the plug logo when the battery is full, 100%.

Confused by this post??? Thought this was about push for hacktivated phones (tmobile users) I've got a 3g on 3.o with tmobie and no push. So how did some of these people get theirs to work?? Please share!! ATT sim card? I put it in and then put the tmobile sim back in... is that all??

Interesting

[djmartox]

soo im gonna do the attsim card now. tell me if that work for 2g iphone and how to do it pls cuz i dont wanna restore my iphone again and then the pust doesnt work !:S so pls help.

p.s. sorry for my bad english

i found this in a blog but i didnt test it yet.

neckaros (21:47:25) :

I repaired the problem by using an official unactivated SIM (with no contract on it and a restored phone without restoring the backup). It passed the first activation (i could use the phone as an iPod touch) but it then “said waiting for activation this may take several minutes” and then i redsnowed it et voilà push is working on my 2G iPhone

PS:Is it me or comment order is all wrong on this page?

[Noirhybrid]

Push isn't that great indeed. Sucks the battery life like a leech. Would only use the notifications for Beejive or some messenger app.

[ares07]

Push IS great. Don´t know what the F you guys are talking about, i have great battery life

Also, 99% of the guys posting here are talking crap, and going offtopic. This is about adding "push" to jb apps

Push will not be enabled until you install an app from the app store that supports push. AIM is a good starting point. Install AIM and a message should pop up asking you if you would like to enable PUSH.

All 3G Users on T Mobile who want push notifications will have to have an old ATT Sim taken from an iPhone(in my case), here is instructions, requires a full restore, so be ready for that.

Hello, after Jailbreaking and unlocking my 3G, all was working great except PUSH. I was contemplating redoing everything and following the guide on here to get it to work…I decided to go for it. I will try to put a more detailed guide here to help people who are a bit scared or on the fence about it. After taking the following steps, all should work fine. i.e. MMS, strong signal, PUSH and so forth. I did this yesterday and I haven’t had one problem so far and my battery life is on par with pre jailbreak.

1. Download Redsn0w…I used 7.2 version

2. Download the 3.0 ISPW and put it in a folder on your desktop. (so you can find it easily)

3. this is key…Get a WORKING or NON-working AT&T sim card from a buddy.

NOW…….

1.RESTORE your 3G through I tunes, or you can do SHIFT/RESTORE and grab the firmware that you have already downloaded for Redsn0w.
Once you have a RESTORED 3G,

2. Activate the 3G (with working or non working AT&T sim still in phone)…When prompted, SET UP AS A NEW PHONE!
(screen will say “ACTIVATING PHONE, THIS MAY TAKE A WHILE” YOU CAN DISMISS IT ON THE SCREEN

3. Now Jailbreak with Redsn0w (leave AT&T sim in)

4. I would only install Cydia. (Heard that by installing CYDIA and Icy causes problems)

5. IMPORTANT…Turn 3G off NOW. (still leave AT&T sim in)

6. Connect to a wifi network and run CYDIA and let it perform essential upgrades. (typically Cydia will close after updating, just reopen when it finishes)

7. Now it’s time to UNLOCK, need to add the repo666.ultrasn0w.com to Cydia.
(To do this, go to manage–sources–edit(top right)–add (top left)when screen pops up, put in repo666.ultrasn0w.com and press ADD SOURCE. Then cydia will add Ultrasn0w to your CHANGES section at the bottom of Cydia.

8. Once Ultrasn0w is installed….Almost there!

9. Shut down the phone, take AT&T sim out, replace with T-Mobile and restart the phone!

UNLOCKED 3G, with MMS and PUSH.

DO NOT NOT NOT restore from an old backup!!!!!

At this point you can sync your music, apps…
To test push download AIM (free version works just fine)
Here are some common setting for T-Mobile
go to Settings–General–Network–Cellular Data…

MMS
APN: Wap.voicestream.com
MMSC: 216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 215.155.165.50:8080
All others you can leave blank.

REBOOT after making these changes for them to take place.
