Little known feature that you may not know about on your 2G iPhone. The “locate” button you usually push to find yourself on the map can be used to track yourself as well.

When you click the map icon the app will automatically find you, within a mile or half mile depending the cell tower density of your location. Then you can search for a location or what ever your reason in going to map app was in the first place.

You can ‘track’ your location if you are moving though. Pressing the locate button again will ‘track’ you. The button will also turn a bright blue and stay that color. It updates every 30 seconds to a minute, although over a few minutes span becomes VERY accurate. I have seen it pinpoint my location within about 50 feet or so.

It is there, I’m sure, for the 3G iPhones with their GPS, although I was pleasantly surprised when I mapped a route using the directions, then made a wrong turn, I was able to track myself to get me back on the route with out making a u-turn and back tracking.

Pretty handy little feature!

Skafia has made an awesome post on our forums about changing the carrier logo (upper left hand corner of the iPhone). and some more instructions: ----------------------------- ** To change the logo, or change your ringtones, or anything in the future, you have to "jailbreak" your iphone using the iphone hack found here: http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/custom-ringtones --sounds-on-your-iphone-using-windows Then, to change your carrier logo, just Plug in your iPhone (after it's be "jailbreaked"), close iTunes and make sure you have 2 65x20 .png files in your c:/phonedmg directory on your computer. The first logo is the one you see on the homescreen, case sensitive: FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png The second logo is the one you see everywhere else in your apps: Default_CARRIER_ATT.png Make sure they are transparent so they look nice in the toolbars of Safari and stuff. Then you just run "iphoneinterface.exe" and once it connects, do the following commands: ** EVERYTHING IS CASE SENSITIVE ** mkdir /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/ cd /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/ then type: putfile /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/Default_CARRIER_ATT.png then: putfile /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png Turn your phone off, unplug it from your computer, then turn it back on.
