Apple Brought back Field Test Mode In iOS 4.1

Apple, iOS 4, iPhone 4 | No Comments »

Now you can put your iPhone into field test mode, which will allow to easily and precisely test your cell signal reception quality. Below are the steps to follow:

• First, upgrade your iPhone 4—or any iPhone—to iOS 4.1.
• Dial *3001#12345#* into your phone.

Done. The signal bars will be replaced with a number (like -85). The more negative the number, the worse the signal is. Example: -110 is worse than -85. Once activated, you can switch between signal bars and number by touching on the number.

Try the test mode now. Then use a finger to connect the two metal bands on the lower left corner, over the black plastic strip. That will short-circuit the magical gap and bring the phone’s signal down quite significantly.

AT&T iPhone 4 Pre-Orders Have Sold Out

Apple, AT&T, iPhone, iPhone 4 | No Comments »

According to Boy Genius Report and Gizmodo, all of AT&T’s pre-order iPhones have been reserved as of 4:30pm EST. And if you placed an order any time after that, you might have a bit of a wait on your hands.


Updated:

People who got their orders in after 4:30 are expected to get their phones any time between June 25th and July 5th, an awfully long time considering how much of an incredible pain it was to sign up for a phone today.

So far it seems like only phones at AT&T stores are sold out, so orders placed through the Apple Store and elsewhere should still hold up. We’ll update if and when any official word comes through.

Updated: AT&T’s official statement confirming the sellout:

“Because of the incredible interest in iPhone 4, today was the busiest online sales day in AT&T history. As of Tuesday afternoon, customers who preorder iPhone 4 moving forward will receive their device on June 25 or later, depending on when the order is placed. We’ll email customers with confirmation once their order is placed, and again when it ships. In addition, we will have devices available on a first-come, first-serve basis in our stores beginning on June 24.”
