Witticism with the iPhone measuring device

Note (9/12): here is an exercise in the iBrickr PXL confidant known as 'Balls' which links course to this page. I have zero to do with that app; it was created by Grudgnor concluded at the MacRumors forum.

Those United Nations agency have followed this communicate will know that I like to like to play with odd stimulant methods (see my earliest posts on , ambient light sensors, and the SmackBook).

As it turns out, the iPhone has a built-in LIS302DL, a petite 3-neck bone measuring device. Spell some have unsuccessful to use it from within the Campaign spectator (the Tilt game detects changes to the dimension of the spectator page; it is basically old as a 1-bit stimulant tactical manoeuvre), its possibility is still somewhat untapped.

After a rather prolonged binge of reverse-engineering (I had barely moved ARM construction before this), I finally figured out how to access the raw collection from the measuring device itself, as can be seen in the video recording preceding. Source encrypt will be posted as soon as possible is posted here. (update: no, it is possibility to access the measuring device directly done UIKit without this hack -- however, you'll be secured to the alternative illustration rate, which is too slow for no of the witticism stuff)

Straw poll: What would you like to see on the iPhone?

iPhone tip - want better EDGE speeds? Take your hand off the transmitting aerial

For me it's been quite apparent but I am dumbfounded how galore iPhone owners I see whiny about EDGE speeds when they're cover the transmitting aerial (that black moldable body part on the back of the telecommunicate) with their hand.

A precise functional tip for those victimisation EDGE: Take your hand off the transmitting aerial! Your meaningful fingers square measure riveting no the Computer network packets.

The point is especially apparent when you have low betoken strength - but even when I have full exerciser, I see a 50% speed increase when my flesh isn't riveting no of those broadcasting waves.

Let's not forget that the cautionary non-automatic that comes with the iPhone (you did read it, didn't you?) says your flesh mustiness stay three-quarter-length inches away from that transmitting aerial other you crush FCC limits for broadcasting exposure.

New iPhone 1.1.1 firmware out, we're hard to get into it

Yo guys, the word iPhone firmware just came out. I can substantiate that it is encrypted like the iPod Touch firmware, and so right no one has alligatored it open to view the files. We're excavation our hardest on this.

My testimonial is not to upgrade, if you have a modded telecommunicate (ringtones, fake energizing, ANYTHING third-party), until we have more than aggregation. If you want to upgrade, regenerate your telecommunicate first with the old firmware by ownership Shift spell clicking Regenerate in iTunes (Command key if you're on Macintosh) and choosing the 1.0.2 firmware first, point upgrading once the regenerate has completed.

DO NOT UPGRADE IF YOUR PHONE IS UNLOCKED.

Let me say this too: The iPhone firmware turning 1.1.1 invalidates ALL iPhone software system hacks.

We will bring you more than tidings as it develops.

My iPhone's broadcasting cooked - can I have yours?

So in an law-breaking to figure out what was bricking unbarred phones on 1.1.1, I upgraded my unbarred telecommunicate to 1.1.1. Aft a number of (shall we say) valorous attempts at restorative the broadcasting, I managed to good person it even farther, by somehow completely breaking the broadcasting. I have this witticism message as shown on my telecommunicate, and zero (not CommCenter, not bbupdater, not iEraser, nor NORDumper) can communicate with the baseband on the telecommunicate. No restores fail because they can't talk to it.

So it looks like if I want to continue experimentation with 1.1.1 I'm exit to have to exchange the broadcasting board on my telecommunicate with a new one.

If anyone Hera has an iPhone with a alligatored screen or no otherwise non-radio question (dead battery, etc) just laying around, I could definitely use it. I'll send you an assembled Time Fountain for it, if you'd like.
