Pretty sure my phone's proximity sensor doesn't work, so when I'm in a call my cheek turns on speaker all the time and it is super annoying. Is there anything I can do to make the screen turn off during a call until I get this fixed somehow?

Hamburlgar posted:I managed to down grade from 5.1 down to 5.0.1. It was my first time downgrading and was simple enough. Reason for the upgrade in he first place was because spring flash caused he phone to go into a recovery loop that I could only fix by DFU restore/upgrading. There is absolutely NO WAY to downgrade unless you have an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 and you have SHSH saved ANNDDD AptTicket. If it is your first time downgrading, I am sure you don't have AptTicket saved so dont give hope to people because there is NO WAY to downgrade without AptTicket. NOW TO THE OTHER GUY, the one with problems restoring to 5.1 from iTunes. There are two possibilities, 1) Your iTunes is not up to date and 2) Your HOSTS file has apple servers redirected to Cydia. If you have TinyUmbrella installed, I am betting #2 is the issue. Just go to "c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" and open HOSTS with notepad. Look for gs.apple.com and remove all occurrences of it then restore with iTunes.

I'm going to assume this is jailbreak related, but it seems like the big buttons (like when getting a call to pick up or ignore, or the set wallpaper buttons) don't trigger or have the wrong I guess activation area. Anybody run into something like this?

I know I don't have that problem anymore, and I *am* still jailbroken. So whatever happened, I definitely fixed it.  Hope that helps?

Basically, you need to update your host file and make sure you are in DFU mode. Prior to doing that, I was suffering as well because my phone would refuse to even load for me. If you don't have access to a secondary computer (either PC or Mac), it would be a good idea to attempt it on a friend's computer.

This is getting stupid. Also, I am stupid. I jailbroke an iPhone 4 on 5.01. Before running jailbreak, I used tinyumbrella to backup my shsh's. I wanted to unjailbreak, but then 5.1 was released. Each time I would run update, I would get an error 11. I fired up tinyumbrella and started its tss server, tried to update, and got it to boot into recovery, then failure error code 1600. Now I am stuck with the phone either in recovery which fails to restore in itunes with the 1600 error. I enter dfu mode, and I get the same. I thought running your tinyumbrella server would let it get past the signing check. Maybe the issue is that itunes doesn't let you do a flat restore when a new software version is out? So I am lost and with a phone perma-stuck in dfu/recovery. Any ideas? Ideally I would be fully back to stock when the process is done, screw future jailbreakability. Edit: Jesus, I enabled request SHSH from Cydia (which was disabled?) in tinyumbrella and now I am back to a functional jailbroken 5.01 phone! Hooray! So next steps: When I shut down tinyumbrella and try to upgrade, I get a "phone is not elligible for this update." That weird. Any pointers from here on out? The previous Backup, update, backup, restore is what got me into this mess. Turnquiet fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Mar 30, 2012 |

You can delete the .ipa(?) or something files on your HDD as well, they don't affect which apps get shown in your iTunes and you can still see them there. You'd have to google for the proper way to do that ie the file extension and the location, but I've seen it on this forum before.

I now have an iPhone 4 running 4.3.5 (BB 4.10.01), unlocked on Telus in Canada. I'm definitely having some issues. As far as I know, right now, I can't update to any version of iOS 5 and keep it unlocked. That's alright for now. My major issues are 1) my data doesn't work. If I'm not using WiFi this phone is useless outside of sending standard text messages and 2) Safari won't open. When I press the icon, it opens for about half a second and immediately closes. The person who bought this phone for me had it unlocked in the mall (eh?). The phone and texting works, essentially nothing else does when not on WiFi (and in the case of Safari, not at all). Any suggestions? I've been Googling and taking in as much information as I can but some of it is beyond me and the rest I'm not sure I want to do/try and gently caress up the ability to use this phone right now. Ninja Edit: Can I turn the phone off, remove the SIM card, turn the phone back on ans not have any issues? I bought an iPhone SIM card from Telus and have that Gevey thing the guy in the mall did. Thanks. Real Edit: Last thing. I used PwnageTool 5.0.1 to create a custom IPSW to preserve the BB, after this I entered DFU mode to update the firmware and when I tried to use the custom one I get the "device isn't eligible..." error. I also Googled that and found all the TinyUmbrella and HOSTS info and none of those allowed the device to not be denied the update. I'm either way wrong on what I'm doing to begin with or I'm really slow, because I feel I'm doing this properly. Xithyl fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Apr 1, 2012 |

Your problem (presuming you didn't save 5.0.1 SHSH blobs) is that your window of opportunity is closed and Apple are no longer signing 4.x (meaning you can't restore) or 5.0.1 (meaning you can't upgrade), and 5.1 is a tethered jailbreak. Your only two choices are to keep it on 4.x, or create a custom 5.1 IPSW preserving baseband using redsn0w's Extras menu. This will work, but your phone will have to be connected to your PC so you can click "Just Boot" every time you power on or reboot your phone. You might be able to fix your data by emailing this file to yourself and opening it on your phone. frumpsnake fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Apr 1, 2012 |

I jailbroke my 4S on 5.0.1 when the original untether command line tool version of Absinthe came out. Just recently I have started getting a prompt to put in my voicemail PIN when unlocking my phone. It's not tragic and doesn't happen all the time, but it'd be nice to know of a fix. Also is it worth re-jailbreaking it at this point? The original Absinthe has some bugs it seems (notably that skins don't seem to work properly, my Mail and Music buttons are unaffected by any Winterboard skin).

Thank you very, very much for the information. Based on this info, is it safe to assume I'm hosed for 5.1 FOREVER or will I be able to complete an untethered jailbreak/unlock as soon as the stuff is released to the public?

I've was just given an Iphone 3g since my drug dealer burner phone fell a few stories and shattered. I'm with T-mobile so I had to jailbreak it to even use this thing as a phone. When I got it the Iphone was running 3.1.3 but I noticed half the poo poo in the app store doesn't work unless you had 4.2.1. I did a factory reset since Itunes was kicking up errors and updated it to 4.2.1 using Itunes. However I'm fairly positive this also updated the baseband to 5.15.04 which apparently cannot be unlocked. Did I just put myself between a rock and a hard place? I can't use the phone for anything but Wifi with 5.15.04 but if the baseband is upgraded to 6.15.00 i'm being led to believe the GPS is no longer functional along with a few other things. Is there an alternative to these choices I can't seem to find via googling?

Is there an alternative to these choices I can't seem to find via googling? I believe 6.15.00 is the iPad baseband. I sold my 3G to a friend last year running 4.2.1, and I allowed it to be unlocked by using the iPad baseband. Aside from the thing running slow as gently caress, unrelated to the iPad baseband, it seems to work fine. If I had the phone in my possession right now, I'd try whited00r, though I don't know much about it, so I can't recommend it to you. This is just anecdotal evidence I've provided to assure you that you are not royally screwed, but I don't necessarily recommend using the iPad baseband, as I have heard there can be complications. I don't know enough to guide you down the correct path with any degree of certainty. Rick Rickshaw fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Apr 1, 2012 |

Augh, looks like I'm thoroughly hosed. It updated the bootloader to 6.4 when Itunes updated the firmware and baseband. The only way I can get function out of this Iphone while using T-mobile is by updating to the 6.15 Ipad baseband and sacrificing the GPS on it and god knows what else.

My iPhone 4S has been getting horrendous battery life in the last two days. In addition, I went over the 2GB limit pretty quick and the phone gets constantly hot. I'm thinking, obviously, these are all connected. What's the best app/tweak to use to monitor data usage and perhaps stop it? I'm guessing something is downloading/receiving the same thing over and over as I don't see the free space being filled. (Its Jailbroken, 5.0.1) Apps: • Zephyr • Slider Enhancer • Activator • Lockscreen 5.1 Camera tweak Also, what is the best (if there is one) cydia app that allows you to delete/remove various jailbreak tweaks?

Doh, Cydia is the best way to do it. Good idea on the email thing - this could be. I am trying to use Sparrow and I like it a lot but the whole push debacle is becoming a pain in the rear end. I would love it if it could fetch every 30 minutes/hour... I wonder if its a bug in the Sparrow Push tweak. I'm thinking about switching to Gmail IMAP instead of Exchange. I'm not sure if I actually need "push". On a 30 minute fetch interval, would I notice a good increase in battery life over push? TheChipmunk fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Apr 2, 2012 |

Below the "Accounts" is a "Fetch New Data". When you click on it, it has a "Push" toggle and also an time interval option. I presume it affects all accounts but I'm not really sure...

At one point, somehow, I was able to get into the actual home screen and I can see my BB didn't change, so I definitely did this right. Is there anyway to get past this seemingly impossible to pass setup? Again I was "past" it, able to enter the App Store and everything for a little, but I have no idea how this happened.

By the setup screen, do you mean it's sitting at the SIM activation screen? I've never used a GeveySIM but as I understand it, once you're in the phone you have to wait until you see 1 bar of service, dial 112 Emergency, hang up after 2 seconds, and then toggle Airplane mode on and off, possibly twice.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Is it hypothetically illegal to intentionally dial 112 only to hang up like it is with 911? Not that you could really pin it on the end-user, but selling a product that requires calling and disconnecting from emergency services sounds legally dangerous for the company, I'd assume. -- From how I understand it "push" just means the the mail service actively sends your device the notice that a new message arrived along with the data. This necessitates your device being constantly on the lookout for these notices, and vigilance costs battery life (unless I'm totally misunderstanding the process and talking out my rear end).
