APN, digits, etc. Between this and the baseband update, the iPhone should be even more stable with calls and network. Oh and I want the MI 2.2 patch before I go with my cracked apps because I like all my stuff on iTunes and install apps through iTunes. Over the air was cool but a PITA and sometimes broke AppStore ---

Using 2.2 firmware… I just installed jailbroke using quickpwn 2.2. Then used cydia to install “installous” and “Openssh” once installed restarted the iphone. sftp’d into the iphone dumped in a bunch of .ipa’s and used installous to install them… works fine for me… Just confirmed it to work using Guitartour 1.2 which i downloaded indirectly from some site that had a ton of links… It seemed much easier that using appshare to find programs as it is slower than balls… I guess you could also just take the .ipa file and change the extension .zip. unzip it to get the .app folder and dump it into the applications folder when you sftp into it… I haven’t tried this yet ---

Jailbreaking might do that… but if you jailbreaked 2.2 with quickpwn 2.2 you shouldn’t have to worry about it. I’m gnna try it without jailbreaking it. see what happens… because touch term allows you to ssh into the iphone too… ---

meh. I didn’t want to put too much effort into hacking into the iphone as root, besides its just as easy to jail break it. Then you don’t have to worry about anything. But ssh way is super easy. IMO better than using cydia, appshare, what ever ---

I like the desktop version of [Appulo.us](http://Appulo.us) to see more info on the AppStore apps than use iTunes to browse it. ---

Time to go pick up iPhone #3. Apple wants to swap my phone because I am not getting caller ID on any number that does not push 10 digits. Anything else shows up as unknown or a + in front of it so i get to wait inline at the apple store and listen to countless people complain about their Macs they got to be trendy and cant fucking use while they give me a new phone, sim card, and activation. ---

I think all of the caller id’s work if you have the number in your phone labeled to a name. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-iphone-thread-gps-jailbreak-apps-etc/52832.md?page=38) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-iphone-thread-gps-jailbreak-apps-etc/52832.md?page=40)
