THE **iPhone** Thread (GPS, JailBreak, Apps, Etc)

So automatic route correction works fine once you find the option buried in the menu to turn it on. Not sure why they’d have that off by default but having it work is a huge plus.

Also, Apple/Amazon released the kindle reader for the iPhone for free today. I just tried it out and I’m surprised how well it works as a book reader.

Does it give you a headache? The only thing that worries me about stuff like that is the battery life of the iPhone and keeping the screen on to read a book makes it burn away faster than before.

I don’t have a kindle so I just downloaded a book demo to check it out. You can set the font size to anything you want, and the iphone screen is really crisp/clear, so I don’t think it would be a big deal reading on it. Battery life obviously could be an issue, but you could always put it in airplane mode before settling in for a read, or at least turn off wireless/3g.

The GPS is still a little hit/miss. Getting a lot of timeouts on 3g when asking it to calculate complicated routes. Seems to work much more consistently doing in town routing. Still haven’t tried downloading maps to the iphone.

I finally unlocked my phone. Definitely should have done this a lot sooner.

Got a few apps already. Next one I want though, is logmein but it’s not listed on cydia. Where can I get it?

AppStore.

Its like 19.99 tho.

If you want it for free, install Installous from Cydia and look for it that way.

not finding installous…

I’m definitely not paying for it.

go back to page 38 and you will see how to get it

Page 38? Silly 25 posts per page noobs. lol

go to Cydia>manage>sources:edit> add

http://cydia.hackulo.us

then install a package called “Installous” and another called “miPatch Firmware 2.2” (cracked mobile installation file, so you can install unsigned apps)

reboot, goto “installous” and have fun

.

Yeah I saw it on PAGE 19. lol

Thanks, though. :tup:

iRealQuickSMS is the coolest. I can’t wait for a crack but quick reply and quick call from any screen with the push of the volume button.

so I fucked up and updated my iPhone to 2.2.1 with the new baseban. It’s the 3g anyone know a way to change it back so I can unlock it again with yellowsnow?

You can use ziPhone but its tricky sometimes to get it to flash your phone right

I can’t wait to get out of work at 5. Hope it works

crap tryed it and my phone wont go past the recovery mode step. tryed 3 times… so yep i think im screwed for good. anyone wanna trade there unlocked iphone with the old baseband for my 3g with new baseband :slight_smile:

If you wanna give me your iPhone for a few days I might be able to break it and downgrade it to 2.0

What are some good places to get IPAs?

I’ve got installous with hackulo but I’m not able to find inavx (marine chartplotter).

I’ve seen it on a couple torrent searches but they’re the old version 1.0.1. Current version is 1.1.2

Nothing when searching “inavx” with my newsgroup search either.

sounds good and the link you posted was some asshat who decided to post that for the 3g. the hack only works with the 2g i tryed

I’ve read that the 2.2 firmware can be jailbroken now, but i dont wanna take some random websites word for it. Anyone know whether this is true and where I can find instructions on how to do it? thanks.

lol that been broken for a while now… the newer version 2.2.1 is already broken
