Also there's still no jailbreak for the 4S because it's an A5 based device. Edit: he managed to make an untethered JB for his 4S but it's useless to the public at large because the inject he used only works if you have a developer account. He's still looking for a real, distributable solution with the help of several big guns from the JB world. Binary Badger fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Jan 8, 2012 |

I recently upgraded from 4.3.3 to 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4 and jailbroke it (untethered). After 2 days, I am having a major problem and I am not sure if it has to do with the upgrade or the jailbreak or something random. Some iPhone native apps such as YouTube, Safari, AppStore and iTunes crash 2-3 seconds after opening. I can maybe see a splash screen or menus and then it closes right to the homescreen. I have tried everything but wiping the phone fresh. Anyone having or had this problem before? I can really use some help here. I don't want to restore my phone for nothing. Edit: Anyone have any experience with this? I am highly considering wiping my phone, but I have heard conflicting reports of the problem persisting and it fixing the problem. Ugh.

Friday afternoon my job dropped off my iPhone 4 running 5.0.1, and thank goodness for this thread. We seriously get no texting with our phones. But we do get unlimited data though so jailbreaking it was the only way to use this drat thing. Who doesn't text these days? Right now it's jailbroken, and sms/phone gv extension are working perfectly. I'm running SBsettings & biteSMS so far and really loving the phone like this. I guess eventually I'll stop being cheap and get MyWi, I just don't know how I feel about a $20 app.

It owns. You can bluetooth, tether, and have a wifi hotspot. How is that not worth $20? Unfortunately assuming you have at&t they throttle your speed down a lot if you get in the top 5% of bandwidth users. Which seems surprisingly easy to hit.

If I am getting "no identifying data fetched" while trying to just boot tethered my iPhone 4 with redsn0w can I assume it is because the wifi on this Amtrack train sucks too much to connect to whatever servers it needs to connect to?

I get that it's useful, but I'm rarely not around wi-fi as it is. I don't carry my laptop except when I travel, so I don't know if it's really worth it for me.

What's the most efficient way to narrow down a battery drain? Is there an app out there that can give me statistics on my battery usage? If there were, my plan would be to uninstall various jailbreak packages one at a time, using the battery monitor to identify the problematic package. I feel like the drain is not significant enough to be able to narrow down the issue without a battery usage monitor of some type.

Xenomorph posted:Install KillBackground and close stuff more often. If you keep > 50 Megs free at all times, you shouldn't have any performance issues. I had SBSettings installed so I was killing processes all the time. Too much headache, I'm going back to 4.2.1 at this moment. Also I couldn't get a few cydia apps to work with 5.0.x since they haven't been updated yet so that was the final deciding factor. Also it didn't report battery usage correctly and I only got around 8-10 hours a day out of my phone, once I got to around 22% my phone would shut down.

Also it didn't report battery usage correctly and I only got around 8-10 hours a day out of my phone, once I got to around 22% my phone would shut down. Don't kill with SBSettings. There are too many steps involved that way: You have to bring up the program window, go to the Processes button, and then it only closes one thing at a time (and allows you to close things I don't recommend closing, like the Phone process). You could spend minutes pecking away at your screen, trying to close every little app. With KillBackground, you just double-click Home and tap the skull and crossbones button. It literally takes just 1 second to have it close and remove everything displayed in the Task Switcher. Regarding the battery, you may need to calibrate that some. Fully discharge & charge a few times. iOS 5.0 shouldn't be causing premature shutdowns. If you want the best performance with the least resources used, go with iOS 4.1. I don't know if there are any 4.2.1 features you need (AirPlay?), but a lot of things are going to be requiring 4.3 anyway, so sticking with 4.2.1 is going to bring up compatibility issues eventually.

Does anyone with LockInfo have any advice for how to configure alarms so they show up correctly? Currently when an alarm goes off, it reverts to a regular iOS lockscreen instead of just popping up over LockInfo like it did when I was on 4.3.3. This is on iOS 5.0.1 with LockInfo 4.0.2.13

Not sure why my mother is having so many more issues with the jailbreaking stuff than I did, but she's ran into an issue where: 1) iMessages will not send pictures (it says they are sent but the other end never gets them; she can still send images through standard SMS and/or to non-idevices) and 2) Facetime freezes the phone until the other end hangs up (audio still works, no picture on either side). I can find cases of people with similar issues but they all seem to be on ipods, tethered jailbreak, and/or are using fixes that involve faking a carrier package. She's on a iPhone 4 (not s), with the 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak. She hasn't changed or installed anything in the last few days and these issues only arose yesterday, so we don't have any real jumping off point to work with. She's also having an ongoing issue (even from before jailbreaking), where the springboard will randomly restart, having presumably crashed, absurdly often. Apparently, though it happens occasionally at random, it consistently occurs when pressing a text message notification from within another app. Happened before the jailbreak so this probably isn't the best thread to ask about it in, but you guys know more about the devices than I do so I thought I'd ask. Using an almost identical setup (only real differences being themes and different app store apps) on my iPod Touch 4g, and having none of these issues, for what its worth.

Ok, so I have a jailbroken iphone 4 that I want to upgrade to 5.0.1 and jailbreak again. Do I just upgrade it in itunes? And then jailbreak it? I've looked around and it seems that way but I really don't want to screw myself out of my jb. Will I have to reinstall all my aps and cydia stuff or does that carry over? Sorry to be 'that guy'.

Is winterboard safe to install?? I installed a bunch of stuff including winterboard and after rebooting my phone all apps opened at 1/4 the regular size on an iphone 4 (most probably a retina display related issue) and where unusable unless I was on Safe Mode. I restored and rejailbroke it. I suspect this was caused by winterboard since it deals with graphics but I'm unsure. Anyone got a similar experience who can help me out please?

Any jailbroken apps that will hard reset your iPad at a certain time? I have a jailbroken iPad 1, so it'll be cool if it would automatically hard reset while I'm sleeping so it's fast and ready to go in the morning. Would this be bad for it?

I don't necessarily know that it would be bad for the device, but it's probably not the easiest way to do what you want. Is there a reason you wouldn't just kill all the tasks before you go to sleep or after you wake up? Your device shouldn't just start slowing down over time, it slows down because all the memory is being used up, and a hard reset is neither the fastest nor the best way to free memory.
