Using 6.15.00?

[ph3n0m]

What known side-effects are there, besides the GPS issue, when using the iPad BB? Some people seem to be having issues with it, and I'd like to know what other risks I would be facing. I am thinking of switching to Simple mobile for the $60 unlimited voice, text, and data. I am currently using H20 Wireless with no need for an unlock, but I'd like data on my phone, and if I think the risk is minimal, I will unlock.

My iPhone: 3G 4.2.1 5.15.04 BB

Although not the main topic of my thread, any comments on Simple mobile would be accepted as well (Good/bad service, etc.)

Simple Mobile is the same as T-Mobile basically it uses the same Towers, I have t-mobile on my iPhone and the service is awesome I like it.

Two risks,

1. There is no solution yet for GPS issues with BB 6.15 and no way to downgrade the BB.
   
2. If your iPhone 3G was still covered under an extended warranty and needed to be replaced; it would be easy for the Apple techs to discover that your iPhone 3G was jailbroken. Thus voiding the warranty.

I would recommend staying at BB 5.15.04. The Dev-Team will be releasing a new unlock as soon as Apple releases iOS 4.3 to the public. I believe iOS 4.3 is in beta 3 and rumored to be released by the end of this month.

I am under no warranty, and my H20 service isn't over until next month sometime, so I think I will wait until then to make my decision, but I've read things about people not being able to make and receive calls? Anyone know about this?

[sondre85]

I have lost the ability to reseve and make calls and SMS. But data trafic works

[reddawg]

How?

Because no iPhone 3G/3GS should be running BB 6.15, since it was only released only for iPads. If your iPhone is still functional, then all an Apple tech would need to do is check your iPhone's firmware version and the modem firmware version in Settings -> General -> About. They would see a firmware baseband mis-match and know the iPhone was jailbroken.

Oh that's right, I hadn't thought of that.

Really?.. That's quite discouraging. Have you tried re-JBing and unlocking?

You should redo the jb n unlocking. My 3g at 1st go would keep hanging and not get any network. Did it again & works perfectly , just the gps issue.

Seems like a trial and error kind of thing. Oh well, I'm going to wait til my service with H20 is up, then I'll check for an unlock. If a new one isn't out I'll use the iPad BB.

Mine works no prob but the GPS.

[ph3n0m]

I've already jailbroken my phone, so would I just re-run redsn0w and add the baseband?

I successfully upgraded my BB to 6.15.00. I am currently using H20 wireless with no problems, but I haven't tried GPS. I will be switching to Simple Mobile soon.

Well my GPS is definitely messed up, even my maps is haha. Good thing I don't need it.

It's confirm that BB 06.15 will permanently mess up your GPS?

After I JB & Updated to BB 06.15, I was able to use GPS for about 2 weeks before it act up and not locking GPS signal anymore.

Any one see any way fixing GPS for BB 06.15 or possible downgrade solution yet?

I doubt your GPS worked for 2 weeks...it was probably cell tower triangulation...
