Great list roar! Just found AskToCall from it.

how can you accidentally call someone

I was actually bothered by how many times I've accidentally dialed a persons number instead of copy pasting it to send to someone, with this app I won't be delayed by having to wait for the phone call to be ended. Although I've never accidentally dialed someone in my pocked on my iPhone, this will make sure it doesn't happen, too. I think it's a good app...

i'd call that careless rather than accidental, how can you accidentally be on the phone app and accidentally hit the small portion of screen with the number on it, Do you regualarly put your phone in you pocket unlocked?

Boy, you must be great fun at parties.

I insatlled XBMC on my atv2 about 6 months ago. Is it a good idea to update XBMC? If so do I just ssh in and download the latest version.

Also is anyone using Nito and what do they use if for?

thanks..

I only ever used it to update XBMC, but it is handy enough for doing that. There are other features in it that can be installed, depends on your setup.
There is a tool now on a certain site, does the ssh'ing for you. Used it the other week after re-jb'ing ATV.

SSH in is not a problem I can do that from the computer. I installed XBMC and then NITO so NITO has XBMC listed as not installed.

If I installed the NITO XBMC will that over write my older version... My instinct tells me this could be problematic.

Hi All

I Installed an app on Cydia and now the phone keeps re-springing to "Safe Mode". I un-installed the said app and its still in SM. I ran crash reporter (it shows Springboard as the fault) & iCleaner but no joy.
Any ideas

SORTED! My own stupidity of course, nothing a reboot didn't fix.

I am on contract with Three which used to allow tethering, but now doesn't (at least for me now).

I have jailbroken my iPhone and purchased MyWi to get around this but I can't get it working and am wondering if it is something I am doing or is it because Three are not allowing tethering and it is being blocked.

I have it installed with no problems, but when I turn on wireless tethering, the device does not appear in my wireless list on my iPad or laptop. Likewise with USB or bluetooth.

Has anyone done this successfully and is there any steps I am missing?


Thanks.

Is it Auxo by any chance?

Nope I remove Auxo the other day. Crash reporter told me backgrounder was the cause but that was installed weeks ago. I removed backgrounder and its fine now.

An unlock for the 4s onwards may be some time away. Would a dual sim work if I got one? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I removed Auxo and things have been fine, just the odd time the time vanishes from the top, not sure if this in an intelliscreenx issue or Aloud.

Me too, bought quite a few apps and rather than trouble shoot i just deleted them. Really only jailbroke for intelli and sparrow push. Aloud was a nice find, great for when you're out in the rain with earphones on, tells you who's calling, texing etc.

lads trying to remember the name of a tweak, that alters the default ios alert, the little revolving bar you get at the top sometimes.

This tweak, changed or should I say fixed the animation to how it should be, was a drop down notification that also pushed the screen down, and didn't cut into the UI as the default alert does...

ring any bells ?

cheers

I assume you are trying to preserve this baseband, for an unlock?

thanks for getting back to me

i dont need an unlock at the moment
is it as easy to preserve b/b as upgrade it?
i suppose it would be no harm to have that option in the future
if i wanted to move provider

im on sim only and wont be getting upgrades to the handset
so i'll have it til it dies!

many thanks

That baseband can't be unlocked. Only the 01.59.00 can

There's been several updates to auxo and seems to be flawless now..
I also installed an app caleld Zephyr which links into auxo and eliminates using the home button for the multitasking etc...costs about €3 but well worth it..
definitely worth checking out if you're jailbroken

you simply swipe up etc and this brings up your open apps...very very nice

Yeah, waiting to buy it. I had to delete the latest update of Auxo as the memory leak was still sending my phone into safe mode. However A3Tweaks, the makers of Auxo, said there's a new update due this week so I'll hang on for that. I can't wait to try Zephyr.

thanks in advance!

GhostInTheRuins

Jailbreak it to get past the activation screen.

i tried using evasi0n jailbreak yesterday but it said the iphone must be activated first, what type of jailbreak would you suggest?

Maybe this is for you,just make sure you know what you want as an end result.
At the end of the day you can mostly restore it again.

How can I deactivate sbs settings window coming down when I swipe down for the notification centre. I've had a look through activator and can't figure it out.

I have sbs settings in notifications already so just don't need it and would appreciate advice to get rid of the drop down sbs menu.

guil

Go to activator and tap anywhere, scroll down to swipe down from top and remove sbsettings. I have it set to drop down if I swipe to the side in the status bar

I got Bridge the other day. Pretty great for downloading straight to your phone. Also itransmission is great if you want to take torrents straight to your phone too.

What version of ios do you have on it?

Do a Redsn0w jailbreak. And then if you're on ios6 run evasi0n after you get the phone up and running. It'll say that your phone is already jailbroken but just run it anyway.

Joined the iPhone universe again for the first time in about three years. Gonna jailbreak it later. Never found it too challenging before. Anything I should be warned off before I jailbreak? Are their ever issues when updates come out or anything?

None that I've encountered, and a new update came out the other day too. It's very strait forward JB

Good to hear! Looking forward to getting back into the JB scene! Some of the mods look great. Any issues with slow down or battery consumption after JB?

No, especially with intelliscreenx, it's a beaut and my battery is fine with it. Running that Sparrow mail push, Auxo & Aloud.

Looks like Apple's set to break the Evasi0n jailbreak with the 6.1.3 update.

However, the Evaders team have said they could have enough new exploits to create a brand new jailbreak from scratch, providing Apple don't patch those too.

My battery life has gone to sh!t since I jail broke. Not sure what's doing it.

Same, I was getting literally no more than 5 hours out of a full charge with mild usage. I've gone vanilla for the time being
