Still no luck with updating or installing apps after the jailbreak, even after logging out and back in multiple times. Haven't tried restarting my phone, but that's because I can't figure out how to power down the phone with my broken power button (unrelated issue). Any other suggestions?

My wife's iPhone 6+ had this problem, she got rid of a bunch of pictures to free up space, we speculate that it was just flat out of room. But I've also heard that maybe it will work if you delete the app that isn't updating and try downloading it again?

Do you have ASUpdateHider installed or any other apps that tweak the app store?

Settings > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch (Turn on)

Press the now displayed Assisted Touch button on your screen, press "Device", press and hold "Lock Screen" until "Slide to Power off" pops up. To turn it back on, just plug it into a charger.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer any help with the app issues you're experiencing.

edit: if for some reason you enable Assisted Touch, yet the button doesn't show up, you might have disabled the Assisted Touch daemons in iCleaner Pro. I had done that a long time ago and when my power button finally broke on my iPhone4, I went crazy trying to figure out why Assisted Touch wouldn't work for me until I looked in iCleaner Pro :bang:

There it is! I've been using Assistive Touch to lock my screen, but didn't realize that you had to hold down the Lock Screen button for power down to appear, though I guess it makes sense in retrospect. I'll see if a restart fixes the issue.

e: Indeed it does, hallelujah! Thanks all!

Does snapchat not work for anyone else? On both my iPad and iPhone it crashes on login, but I don't know if it's the jailbreak or just 8.4, didn't think to try if before jailbreak.

I had a lot of issues jb my iPad a few days ago with Taig 2.3, but last night used 2.4 on my phone and it went swimmingly; hit go, walked away and came back to a jailbroke phone. I had the app update issue until I logged out and back in, but works great now.

Maybe it's in my head, but 8.4 feels really good to me!

It's been like that since a SnapChat update like a month ago.

I haven't found a fix, but if you really need to use it create an activator action for booting into safe mode.

Yeah, I haven't installed phantom yet, but snapchat crashes as soon as you open it or log in, on both my devices. No big deal really.

Maybe delete Snapchat and redownload it from the AppStore? Hard reboot your phone? I've had zero issues with my jailbreak and snapchat.

"Watchdog" has just been released in beta mode. It allows apps to run in the background, similar to Backgrounder and Background Manager in the iOS 6/7 days.

I'm still playing around with it but it seems to work just fine. All you need to do is tap on the app in the task switcher to de/active.

This is a great iOS 8 feature that complements the "While Using the App" Location Access setting. Why would you want to get rid of it?

Most irc clients unless you have a bouncer somewhere (and then however many minutes it still has to reconnect to the bouncer).

Although irccloud kinda gets around it.

Because it's obnoxious and blocks you from tapping there to scroll to the top in whatever other app you're in.

Ingress does the same thing and it's both pointless (the game doesn't actually use that info while in the background) and annoying for the reason above.

I have literally never seen any other app that set off the big giant blue bar besides Google Maps when it's navigating. It also prevents me from tapping the top bar to scroll to the top and forces every other app to miss out on the top 5% or whatever it is of pixels taken up by it.

I've seen it in other apps that will unnecessarily continue using GPS in the background. Facebook, Speedtest, and Redbox are common culprits off the top of me head. I saw it often enough that I set their Location Access to Never, so I appreciated that new feature.

I can understand being frustrated by not being able to tap the top bar to auto-scroll to the top when that blue bar is present, especially when you fully intended to allow Google Maps Nav to run in the background.

Anyone know of a tweak to change the background of a folder icon from gray to a darker color or to transparent? I can't seem to find an option for it in Springtomize 3. And I mean the folder icon before you open the folder up. I've got a dark theme and a dark background and the folders being gray contrasts too much for my liking.

In springtomize under the folder options, there is an option to unblur the icon of the folder, though it doesn't actually seem to work when I try it. Maybe yours will.

Springtomize didn't help anything but I found that changing color and white alpha to zero under hiddensetting's icon adaptive menu does the trick.

I've been using a combination of DarkFolders7 and DockShift…since…well, iOS 7. Still works great on 8.4.

Found it on a Github from reddit, and installed it from the .deb file via ssh, seems to work okay. Though my darker folders do reset if I respring. Oh and if you install it that way, Cydia will try to tell you to update it, don't do this as it will install the older broken one.

Snapchat update in case anyone cares, nothing anyone posted worked and much more. I restored my iPad and rejailbroke and it worked! So I did my phone again, and it worked too! Then when I woke up this morning neither work again.

I didn't install any tweaks on the iPad between then and now, so I have no idea and am through trying.

What they actually do is block apps from knowing they're no longer up on the screen (or rather, makes them bypass restrictions on apps not currently on the screen). I have a couple that won't work unless they're up and in focus and it's really annoying to be entirely unable to use the device for anything else or even turn the screen off while using them.

As a neat side bonus, backgrounder puts a little dot on the icon of apps that are still running in the background. It's sometimes useful to know that even if you don't have it doing anything else.
