Hey I just jailbroke my iPod touch 4g.

I was wondering if there were any good sites out there that let you see all the different apps and themes in Cydia. Because trying to look at everything through the iPod Cydia browser is really annoying.

This might be what you are looking for:

Tethering uses the phone's 3G connection. The best thing for you to do would be to buy a repeater or something to extend your WiFi's range.

This. Just get two Linksys routers that you can replace the firmware with DD WRT and make the secondary router into a repeater. You won't get as fast of a connection off the second router but it's an easy way to make one.

Not sure if this is JB related but I wanted to ask this here first before I go to the general iPhone forum:

Okay, so on Saturday I went into the app store on my iP4 and saw that there was an update for one of my apps. When I went to update the app, naturally my login screen appeared and asked my to enter my password as usual. After a few attempts of entering my correct password, the "too many unsuccessful login attempts" showed up so I went ahead and changed it to a new password. Again, no luck. However, I then looked at my apple ID and it was changed to an ID that wasn't mine. It was actually my neighbor's apple ID, but there is literally no way that he could have gone in to my phone over the past few days and logged me out and login himself in. He isn't JB'ed (I am on 4.3.3) and this was a really weird occurrence. So my question is, does anyone have any experience with this and how the hell could it have even happened in the first place?

Also, just noticed on Sunday that my CC was charged $1.00 on Saturday as well, however I haven't purchased any apps/songs in a long time. I emailed customer support for this and am awaiting a response.

Have you synced your phone on his computer or his on your recently.
OR has he logged into his iTunes on you computer or vice versa.

Me and my wife have a similar problem when we share a computer to sync phones on.

Come to think of it, I did plug my device into his laptop but iTunes was not open for it to sync (I did this because I had some videos I recorded of him in this ceremony last week and they were too large to email/MMS). Would that even be possible if iTunes was not even running? Also no he hasn't logged into iTunes on my machine logged into his iTunes, he's never even touched my phone or laptop.

Hey guys,

Two questions: what's a good app to allow a streaming app like Pocket Tunes to run in the back while I use the phone to play a game? For instance, I want to listen to Pocket Tunes or the Sirius app while playing a game that takes over the audio on the device (it happens with games like Flick Fishing). I tried to use Backgrounder but that didn't work (unless I'm doing something wrong).

Also, have anyone tried out the Lion Ultimate theme yet?

So this has happened a few times on my iPhone 4 running 4.3.3 JB in the past, and I just took a screen of it today. Has anyone ever had this show up on their device? Granted, the iTunes/Stocks/Messages icons I can understand as they were set to be hidden but those others (AdSheet/FieldTest/IntelliContainer/iOS Diagnostics)...what is this all about?



edit: just an FYI, I have no hacked apps or anything installed on the phone. My google searches for this keep sending me to random non-US sites that are no use to me as they are not in English.

Is there any sort of app that can restore game data? I accidentally deleted 9 innings 2011 (baseball game) from my device last night. Not the biggest loss in my world, but I was curious as to if there was anything on Cydia that could get my game history back.

Does anyone know of a JB app that will override audio while playing a game? Example: I want to listen to the radio via Pocket Tunes, but if I open a game, it shuts down Pocket Tunes and the game background audio takes over.

Edit: this doesn't happen with all games.

Goon help needed. I just tried to upgrade from 4.3.3 to 5.0.1 so I could JB. However while trying to restore and upgrade, I get the error 21 and then the phone is stuck in recovery mode. Once I try to connect to iTunes again, I am told I have to restore first before I can upgrade so I then try to restore. Same thing happens then, the error 21 box pops up. What am I doing wrong?

Are you using a custom restore file? Have you tried DFU mode?

Sorry to mention that, no I am not using a custom restore file and I have tried DFU mode. Neither are working.

edit: I forgot that I did have a copy of 4.3.3 ipsw saved, so I'm doing the shift click to restore back to that and it seems to be working. However, what the hell can I do to avoid this next time?

edit 2: Same issue with the custom 4.3.3 ipsw, now I'm getting error 1.

edit 3: After researching, only thing I could think of was that running on iTunes 10.5 was the issue so I downgraded to 10.3 and tried again to restore with an official 4.3.3 ipsw and still nothing. Does anyone have any advice?

Well it appears that I messed up while trying to upgrade to 5.0.1 so I can JB, and now I'm stuck in Recovery Loop.

Has anyone here had any success with iREB, I just want to get back to 4.3.3 now. I tried to check out redsn0w but as soon as I connect my device to my PC, I immediately get the Connect to iTunes screen. I have my shsh backed up and an official 4.3.3 ipsw. Thanks for the help guys.

I'm in the same situation. Tried with the stock IPSW and a custom one.

Well I just gave up on upgrading to 5.0.1. I downloaded fixrecovery43.zip which also contained zlib1.dll. Then I opened iTunes, plugged in the phone (was still in connect to iTunes mode) and turned on fixrecovery. I then held down power and home for 10 seconds, which threw it into DFU mode and let the code run. After that, I just went back into iTunes and was able to restore back to 4.3.3. What a pain in my rear end and a waste of 4 hours.

As for what caused the issue in the first place, I have no idea. I merely tried to upgrade to 5.0.1 and planned on JB'ing after that.

Is Cidya (Bigboss especially) still getting slammed? I had to restore to 4.3.3 last night and used jailbreakme.com for my JB, everything seemed to go okay with that. I haven't added any other repos and I have had no luck trying to install SBSettings, I keep getting a internal time out error when trying to install. Also, Cydia keeps trying to update itself and I keep getting this error when the install takes place. Is there something I did wrong?

Has anyone had this issue with SBSettings: I re JB'ed my iphone 4 with 4.3.3 firmware and installed SBSettings. I configured it to how I used to have it, but it just. doesn't. work. I can't swipe at the top of the screen and make the menu drop down (and if I try to swipe twice, the phone reboots). And when SBSetting installs, Activator comes with it. However, if I try to open Activator, I am always told that I am in Safe Mode and need to restart. Anybody have any suggestions?

Okay, this poo poo is absolutely ridiculous, Tinyumbrella has cydia hosts unchecked, I have to force it into DFU / recovery mode to get it to boot and once it's up and running, I try to restore factory defaults and I get error 21. I've never ever had this many issues with a jailbreak before. How can I just get this poo poo back to stock? I can't even restore it to factory defaults from the iphone itself, it just hangs and goes into an infinite bootloop.

It sounds like you are in recovery mode, not DFU mode. This happened to me a few days ago, I posted what I did to get back to 4.3.3:

I downloaded fixrecovery43.zip which also contained zlib1.dll. Then I opened iTunes, plugged in the phone (was still in connect to iTunes mode) and turned on fixrecovery. I then held down power and home for 10 seconds, which threw it into DFU mode and let the code run. After that, I just went back into iTunes and was able to restore back to 4.3.3. What a pain in my rear end and a waste of 4 hours. I also thought that the version of iTunes I was originally using was too new, so I deleted it and did a fresh install of an older version (10.3 I think).

Also, do you have a version of the ipsw saved for the restore?

Basically in that area ATT is a total black out. Which I find weird for a major carrier in a semi major city in 2012.

Don't feel bad, I am in Kirkland WA which is just over the lake from Seattle and my data speeds/call drop issues are just terrible. Whenever I go back to Chicago I never experience anything like this. There are times where I have to shut off 3G just so I can receive calls at my condo.

Edit: even better proof is that I was only able to post this because I am at my neighbors condo who just so happens to have an AT&T microcell router. Seriously, Seattle? I would expect better.

Has anyone ever tried iControl? I was wondering how effective using an app like this to increase battery life. From what I can tell, it allows you to force the phone to turn off 3G when locked, but allowing exceptions if you are streaming Pandora, etc. (there is another app called Auto3G but it isn't updated to work with 5.0+). Just would like to know if this is actually helpful before I buy it.

I used MyWi very infrequently, and got the dreaded AT&T text message and email last month threatening to move me to the 5GB unless I stopped. Since then i've only used PdaNet with the 'higher level masking' and haven't been automatically moved to 5GB yet, at least.

What is up with AT&T now? I don't even tether although I do stream quite a bit, and I have been grandfathered in with my data plan since forever. I've have used MyWi a long time ago but this is starting to worry me as I might need to tether for work if I am not near a hotspot in a pinch. Got this last week in a text as well:

Ta.

You can install iControl from cydia and set it to automate turning off 3G/wifi/Bluetooth after X amount of time of inactivity, white list apps that can stay open, etc. I have it installed but I can't really notice all that much of a difference.

edit: just saw you cross posted this and you aren't jailbroken. You will obviously need to jailbreak for this.

You must restore your device through iTunes, not Erase All Content and Settings.


Thank you for the info, checked the OP and that was in the instructions, guess I missed that discussion. Downloading 5.1.1 now so we'll see how it goes. I started to figure that it wasn't ever going to stop spinning so I just hard rebooted and went back to the old setup.

Well that update and JB from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 went pretty seamless, although Cydia does seem to crash a bit more than I'm used to. AptBackup was great as well.

Anyone have any issues with DataDeposit on this JB? I backed up a game (9innings2011) via DD before I JB'ed and it didn't restore my game progress when I tried to restore it.
