    +1 - I've only used GreenPois0n and have never had issues.

    AT&T has not sent this email to all jailbreakers, maybe AT&T has a way to tell what phones are Jailbroken, that's a non issue since jailbreaking has been ruled legal.
    What I think they have done is target the hugh data whores, I have only used over 4 gigs twice since I've had the iPhone most of the time I clock in around 1.6 to 2 gigs, no email warning here.

    I've heard about people getting text messages about using MyWi, but haven't gotten one myself either. I only really use it when we're at the track or on the road, so definitely not that much to where it should be an issue.

    Green poison wouldn't work on my old Iphone 3g, so I had to use red snow. It's worked pretty well, but the phone is pretty slow now. I originally jailbroke it so I could tether my IPad on the way to races. I'd do it again for BiteSMS alone, though. For tethering I use PdaNet, which is free, but not perfect. It occasionally turns wifi off, so I have to reactivate it. It only takes 2 button presses, so not really a big deal. I never tried Mywi, so I'm not sure if it's worth the $20.

    If it's just the data usage then that coud be argued now with Netflix and other streaming. I have a coworker that uses twice or more data I use in a month and is not JB-en.

    People that have unlimited data grandfathered in on an existing plan can use a jailbreak tether without being charged for a tethering plan.

    Anyone tried a 4.3.1 JB yet?
    Seems RedSn0w is the only option?

    Yup, I did it a couple of days ago.


    Strange thing that happened with my phone....I have a 3GS and have been running on 3.1.3 for quite some time now. I tried 4.01 and it really drained the battery alot more than I would have liked, so I reverted it back to 3.1.3, jailbroke and have been running like that since about September I think.

    Out of nowhere like 2 weeks ago my battery started draining like ridiculously quick. Would go from full charge to dead on standby in about 5 hours, maybe less. Never did anything like this before. I thought the battery was toast. So I figured what the hell, upgraded it to 4.3.1 to wipe it fresh and it's been working just great, battery life is just as good as it was on any 3.x version. It's a tiny bit slower, but I was expecting that. And I jailbroke it with Redsnow and it's working OK. There's a few Cydia apps that don't work just yet with the latest jailbreak, so I'm waiting to see if they release some updates. I JB'd with Redsnow 0.9.6rc12



    Redsnow is an untethered jailbreak yes.

    Yes, but apparently still issues if you unlock as well. If you only JB then you should be fine. I'll wait till all the Cydia apps get updated. I'm fine with 4.2.1 for now.

    3G is just not powerful enough to run all the latest toys. Switched to a 3GS last week and it's night and day.

    For the record, I've got the Droid X and the iPhone 4. The Droid walks all over the iPhone. The only thing I wish my Droid had that my iPhone does is a front facing camera(just for bling, no one uses them :D) and iTunes.

    As if anyone gives a shit what you have on your record? In case you didn't notice, this isn't a Droid versus iPhone thread. It's not even a Droid thread. So put it somewhere else. :up: And maybe...maybe just find that thread that's out there that discusses that each generation of each phone will surpass the other. iPhone 5 will be out in June, will take the lead, then the same will happen for the Droid.
