3G baseband hacked, one step closer to iPhone 3G Unlock. Thanks to the iPhone Dev Team that we all can enjoy iPhone 2.0 Jailbreak Guide with Pwnage Tool 2.0.1, and Winpwn 2.0 - iPhone 3G Jailbreak for Windows. Although it lacked any iPhone 3g unlock support, The iPhone Dev Team is one step closer to providing a fully-functional iPhone 3G software unlock solution. This image is the “About” screen from a 3G iPhone. The modem firmware version has been successfully downgraded to an older ‘beta’ firmware. This is not an unlock yet, but it is iPhoneDevTeam’s illustration of the first progress made with regard to hacking the 3G baseband.
We have accomplished this by being able to execute our own code on the baseband that allows us to circumvent security checks and flash the baseband with older, disallowed firmware. Please note this has been accomplished using software only, the iPhone 3G has not been disassembled or hardware modified in any way.

iPhone 3G URL trick for Mobile Browsing. An iPhone 3G with iPhone 2.0 Firmware or the latest firmware version has a number of usability improvements. In the original firmware there was a handy “.com” button when entering URLs, but you had to manually type “.net” and “.org” and other domain suffixes. Now, when you type in a URL, Just HOLD DOWN the “.com” button to get a selection of 3 other domain name endings “.net,” “.edu,” and “.org”. Enjoy your mobile browsing!

How to Enable Palm Treo 800w EVDO Rev.A to increase upload speeds. The folks behind WMExperts wrote a nice trick for Sprint Palm Treo 800w users to have a better upload data stream.
0. Go to your Sprint Palm Treo 800w ‘Dial Pad’
1. Type ##EVDO# (it’s the same as ##3836#)
2. You’ll see a ‘hidden’ command menu and “Rev A” unchecked
3. CHECK that ‘Enable Rev A?’ box!
4. Set Broadband Setting to ‘Automatic’
Without the “Rev A” box checked, upload speeds cap at around 120kbps. When enabled, you easily and consistently hit up in the mid 300kbps range. Enjoy that double faster speed! Note: Use at your own risk.

How to Share Applications between iPhones. The Fairplay DRM that Apple uses to protect its iPhone applications from piracy allows you to authorize up to 5 computers to share your iTunes purchases. You can share iPhone apps with each other as long as both your iTunes are authorized to use them e.g. you want to share it with your wife/family. Melvin Rivera, a web developer located in New York has wrote a step by step tutorial on how to do it. Here’s a quick rundown of Melvin’s tutorial:
0. You can buy an app from your iTunes e.g. Super Monkey Ball game (This is just a sample for demonstration purposes)
1. Download the app to iTunes and sync to your iPhone
2. In your Family member’s mac, ‘Log In’ to their iTunes application with ‘your’ iTunes Store account
3. ‘Log Out’ and then back ‘Log In’
4. Inside iTunes, Go to the app store, Find Super Monkey Ball game and click ‘Buy’ App button
5. ‘Re-download’ the Super Monkey Ball game application
(iTunes knows you’ve already paid for this, you can download it again for free)
6. If download completes, then ‘Log Out’ of ‘your’ iTunes account
7. Log back in with your-family-member’s iTunes account
8. Sync the iPhone (The app should transfer)
9. and Done! You should now have Super Monkey Ball mobile game on two different iPhones.
