Sorry, guy.
I mentioned this a month or so ago, but seriously, the last 2 jailbreaks (and I've done a totally clean restore and not worked from a backup.) have made it so my Answer Call button, my Speakerphone button, etc... take about a million taps to respond before working.


Example case: I receive a call. My screen lights up with the caller and at the bottom is an Answer & an Ignore button. The I tap the answer button. Nothing. Doesn't even visually respond that it's been tapped. I keep tapping. About 10 seconds later I can answer the call.

The only reason this hasn't been a bigger issue is I just don't make & receive a ton of phone calls.

But still, it's annoying the poo poo outta me.


Anyone else?

(iPhone 4, 4.3.3 Jailbroken.)

It's definitely Jailbreak related, and not my plain phone.

I'll check if there are any theming remnants, but I don't think so. Like I said I started from scratch on this new Jailbreak. Didn't restore anything from previous backups. Possibly something in Winterboard I may wanna take a peek at.

Oh wait, you know what I DO have? SliderMod HD. I could remove that and check, I suppose. But you'd think you'd hear more bitching if that was the culprit.

[edit]

I think I have it figured out. It's not that the button is unresponsive. It's that you have to tap it high on the button. (for both Answer Call and for Hide Keypad)

I bet this is Activator Related. Activator has screwed up the bottom part of the screen before.

Still a nuisance but at least now I can answer my rarely received phone calls instantly by tapping in the right place.

Thanks.

Is there a way to fully backup my iphone to my harddrive through SSH or some other mean? What I'm looking for specifically are my notes, text messages, and photos being saved in the event of either loss or theft. Presumably these are all saved on the iphone's explorable hard drive, right?

You mean other than plugging it in and having iTunes do it for you?

[edit] It looks like my call answering problem *might* be sliderMod HD. I can press much lower on the button when I have it "off" in Winterboard. But when I have it on I have to press higher on the Hide Keypad and Answer Call buttons.

I'm willing to bet winterboard is the culprit as well.

Would this not be a far larger reported issue on the internet if it were, though?

I have never NOT had Winterboard on any Jailbroken phone all the way back to my 3G and I only noticed this issue once I added SliderMod HD.

The difference is, my issue isn't a "sometimes". It's an "always".

And yet I know the screen works down there in other instances, so I'm left to think it's jailbreak or jailbreak app related.

There was a report earlier where someone traced it back to the data APN relay that tethering went through. Basically, all the tethering programs were using the exact one that you would normally use if you paid for tethering instead of using the iphone 3g data that you would when you do not tether. PDANet was the first one to make a change. Haven't heard anything more since then.

How could you possibly get a letter for using slingplayer? That's a legitimate app with 3G service. I wonder how they'd justify that!

Not to jynx my poo poo, but I have yet to get a letter from AT&T. I didn't tether THAT much (basically would sync my iPad 2 up to my iPhone 4 at work in order to update or buy an app on the App store for my iPad from time to time.) I've since switched to PDANet and have resumed tethering but really, really not that much.

Still, no letter yet.

SBSettings will freeze while it downloads and installs the activator. To fix this bug, install something else that requires the activator. Backgrounder is one. Then SBSettings should work for you if you try it again.

I use Lockscreen on my iPhone 4. I turn the big Clock off (it takes up so much space on the lockscreen.)

Is there any way to have the time display in the status bar (like it does when the phone is unlocked) even when the phone is on the lockscreen?

So a late 'reply' to the "People excited for Jailbreaking only want to Pirate" argument, as well as something that I think NEEDS to be recommended Jailbreak App 101...

Browser Changer.

Nothing gets my goat more than having and using iCab Mobile, only to have my Youtube shortcut, anything I open in Mail, etc... all open in Safari.

This allows you to pick your default browser that EVERYTHING opens to. It is glorious!


One thing I'd like to ask of anyone who has used this app... can you make it so when you open something it does NOT hijack your existing tab? It should create a new tab, but it doesn't. It changes the tab you left your browser on.

1) It's Safe Mode. It was put there specifically to help you when poo poo crashes, so you're not 'locked out' of making changes.

2) Any experienced jailbreak user will tell you, when in doubt (and having crashes) work backwards removing jailbreak apps (logically newest-added first.)

3) I've heard rumblings (anecdotally) of the 5 finger gestures being not fully supported in the iOS, so I'd start there by just flat out removing that and seeing.

5) Bricking your iPad is nigh-on-impossible short of duct-taping it to your back and diving into the ocean, or having a Great Dane piss on it. Everything it needs to run properly (short of functioning mechanical/electronic parts is written over when you do a restore.

One of the jailbreak dudes made a hack to make Facebook's iPad app work again. Its called FaceForward. Good on them!

Anyway I installed it today and FB app on iPad is pretty not bad. Except how atrocious the comments column is. You press on show comments or whatever and you get a right aligned column overlay (not unlike Twitter for iPad) but it's narrow and you have to drag-scroll offscreen to see the cut off comment.

REALLY lame. (then again, this app wasn't meant for primetime obviously, soooo....)

Older versions of Activator use to really annoy me with how it messed with the Home button (short presses were ignored).

A thought just occurred to me. How is the delta-updating that iOS5 implemented for version upgrades going to impact jailbreaking? Will there be any fundamental changes or will this just change how you update your phone? Obviously we do not have any experience to base off of, but wondered if this has already been discussed.

Any decent packaged JB for iOS 5 will likely disable deltas. Or if not it will be some essential Cydia upgrade like those PDF exploit patchers.

Do we even know if delta updates are invisible like that? Frankly even unjailbroken I'd be miffed if my phone OTA updated without even asking me if it could.
