Apple may not want you to unlock your iPhone, but GEVEY sure does. The company has just released a new solution to the iPhone 4 unlock problem. If you're tired of waiting for a software unlock to come out, you may just want to keep reading.
We've talked about GEVEY SIM cards before, but the Ultra is supposed to be the end-all unlock solution for the iPhone 4. It works with every version of firmware from iOS 4.0 - iOS 5, as well as several basebands...
And we continue our exploration of new features in iOS 5. Today we're looking at a new feature in the camera app that brings grid lines to the screen display. The grid lines are very helpful for getting the shot straight (horizon, edges of buildings, etc, can be used to ensure the camera is leveled).
The grid lines can also be very helpful to "frame" the shot as the center is clearly visible, so offsetting any subject from the center (or not) becomes easier...
As a recent Apple iPad 2 advert demonstrates, iOS devices are proving to be indispensable to doctors and medical professionals with the plethora of healthcare apps and accessories that are now available. Earlier today we reported on an upcoming iPhone application called iPhoneECG, which allows you to take a personal electrocardiograph with your iPhone and send it to your doctor.
When you've done that, you can now check your blood pressure, with a brand new accessory for Withings called the iPhone Blood Pressure Monitor. The $129 accessory works with your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad and the free Withings companion app to provide a quick, easy and accurate self-messurement of your blood pressure...
Over the past few weeks, jailbreak developers have been churning out custom widgets for the new iOS 5 Notification Center like crazy. Even though the new software is still in beta, the jailbreak community has already hacked it and created a variety of new tweaks.
The most recent one to surface comes from developer Manuel Gebele. Surprisingly enough, it's called WeeFacebook and it gives you a window into your social networking account from the Notification Center...
While most of its bad publicity has faded into the background, dropped calls are still an issue for AT&T customers (and all carriers) in certain areas. To remedy this problem, many AT&T customers have been directed to switch to the EDGE network when making phone calls.
Apparently, many dropped calls from AT&T iPhone handsets are caused by a 3G data conflict. The iPhone doesn't seem to experience that issue on EDGE networks. But wouldn't it be cumbersome to switch back and forth between EDGE and 3G all the time? Yes. But that's why we jailbreak. Meet DropCall Eliminator...
Have you ever noticed that the iPhone doesn't seem to pick up all of the available Wi-Fi hotspots? That's because it doesn't. As another testament to Apple's focus on user experience, iOS doesn't display Wi-Fi hotspots with sub-par signal strength.
While this prevents the user from having a negative web experience, it also handicaps the device when searching for a web connection. How do you make your iPhone show all of the available Wi-Fi networks? There's a jailbreak tweak for that...
SBSettings is always the first tweak I install after jailbreaking. Even when it's not installed, I find myself swiping at the statusbar expecting a menu to drop. The simple utility gives me quick access to toggle Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings, as well as a respring function.
Though I've yet to find anything in Cydia that matches the functionality of SBSettings, the competition is certainly heating up. Jeff recently told you about Homescreen Settings, which places the actions on your springboard. I'm going to tell you about SwitcherSettings, which adds the functions to your app switcher...
If you're a New York Post reader and like to read your news via NYPost.com on an iPad, then you could find the process a little more complicated than it used to be. The newspaper has blocked access to its website from Apple's Mobile Safari browser.
In a clear attempt to push users away from the NYPost website and towards the iPad app. The New York Post's homepage now suggests users tootle off to the App Store if they want to get their news fix on Apple's super-successful tablet...
The iPhone has already proven to be a valuable tool in the medical field for doctors and patients, but an upcoming application/hardware accessory takes it all one step further. The iPhoneECG allows you to take a personal electrocardiograph with your iPhone and send it to your doctor.
This groundbreaking invention lets you place the iPhone against your chest and get a realtime readout of your ECG information. When completed, the ECG data will be uploaded and converted into a PDF for physician or healthcare review...
It was only a matter of time before an iOS 5 inspired lock screen camera shortcut appeared for current gen iOS firmware, and that time is now.
CameraLock is a tweak by tweaking expert Filippo Bigarella, who unsurprisingly is behind the similar FlashLock tweak inspired by our very own Sebastien Page.
In the very same vein of the iOS 5 feature, CameraLock places a handy little camera shortcut on your lock screen for easy access.
But there are a few differences between this implementation, and the version that is featured in iOS 5, as I highlight in the following video walkthrough...
When Apple first unveiled iOS 5 earlier this month, Scott Forstall and company mentioned that the new firmware would house over 200 new features. While only a few of them were touched on during the company's keynote, people have been working non-stop to uncover the hidden additions.
The latest tip to surface comes from the folks over at Apple'N'Apps. The blog noticed a change in iOS 5 that has to do with app downloading. It appears the new firmware will allow users to download multiple apps at a time, even over 3G...
Sure, the iPhone has been receiving the most press regarding iOS 5, but some of Apple's other devices stand to benefit greatly from the update as well.
I've had the privilege of being able to update both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 with the latest and greatest mobile operating system, and frankly, it rocks.
As you likely are already well aware of, Apple has adopted a well received PC Free mantra for iOS 5, and that makes setting up a new device a relatively painless affair.
It's so nice to see your device welcome you, instead of staring blankly at that ugly "connect to iTunes" message when turning on your device for the first time.
Check out the following video walkthroughs of both the iPad 2 and iPhone 4 in iOS 5 initial setup action...
