RedSn0w 0.9.7b5 Untethered Jailbreak Fixes Bluetooth Issues

Jeff Benjamin ∙ Updated February 6, 2016

One of the biggest reasons that I chose to stick with the tethered RedSn0w 0.9.6 release for my iPhone 4 is because of the beta version's ongoing problems with Bluetooth support.

Up to this point, all of the beta versions of RedSn0w 0.9.7 -- an untethered jailbreak released by the Dev Team -- have thus far been devoid of Bluetooth capabilities. When using the beta, the Bluetooth option simply stated "Not Available."

With the Dev Team's latest update to the RedSnow beta, the Bluetooth hurdle has finally been eliminated, and now you can enjoy an untethered jailbreak with full Bluetooth support...

Guest Author ∙ Updated April 3, 2018

Ever wanted to share a webpage from your iPhone to another iDevice or to a friend's iPad who is sitting in the same room? Now you can with CoBrowser by Collect3.

CoBrowser allows your iPhone to download an entire webpage images and all to your iPhone and then share it via Bluetooth to any other iDevice such as an iPod Touch or iPad. The nice thing is the other devices don't even need to have an internet connection because they pull it from your iPhone directly.

5 Controversial Features We Could See on the iPhone 5

Jeff Benjamin ∙ November 3, 2010

Everyone has their list of must have features for the iPhone 5, but a lot of them are of the obvious variety. Things like more storage space, a better camera, and more RAM. Boring!

Apple has always been a company that pushes the envelope, so it makes sense that the iPhone 5 could be a device that Apple is willing to take a gamble on. If you don't adapt well to change, you just might want to take a deep breath before reading this...

Apple to Release iOS 4.1 Next Week

Steve Jobs just announced at Apple's Special Event that the company will be releasing iOS 4.1 today. As expected, this update will fix bugs, but it will also add new exciting features...

An iPad Case With Integrated Bluetooth Keyboard

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated December 15, 2017

Please meet the KeyCase iPad Folio, an interesting iPad case that integrates a Bluetooth keyboard to the casing. It seems that the iPad really wants to be a netbook killer and it's getting closer to it. Or is it?

I love the concept, but personally, if I had to carry that stuff around, I'd rather just buy a netbook, which let me remind you, can be a much better business companion than the iPad if you need to do some real work while on the road.

At about $95, the KeyCase iPad Folio is not a bad deal though, if that's what you're looking for. It's currently out of stock but I'm sure it will be available again soon on the company's website.

iPhone Proximity Sensor & Other Features in iOS 4.1 Update?

Guest Author ∙ August 21, 2010

Earlier this Month the 3rd round of Beta was handed out to developers and the list of fixes doesn't technically include some of the biggest issues people have had with the iPhone's operating system. The proximity sensor or Bluetooth Connectivity don't make the list, but I have beliefs that Apple is working on them secretly to keep the issues asleep.

Neil Hughes from Apple Insider mentions increased performance in both of these important areas and points out a few obscure fixes as well. Steve Jobs said in July that the proximity sensor issue would be dealt with in an update but hasn't said a word about the topic since. Again I say to keep the issue quiet.

Using a Bluetooth Mouse on the iPad

Sébastien Page ∙ Updated January 24, 2016

There is a nice hack that let's you use a Bluetooth enabled mouse on your iPad. To do this, simply install BTstack Mouse from Cydia, pair your iPad with your mouse, and here you go.

The mouse can be configured in Activator so you can choose different actions for your clicks (I chose the right click to be the home button).

iPhone Bluetooth Making Progress

Guest Author ∙ Updated January 23, 2016

According to an iSpazio article there has been a significant breakthrough on unlocking the iPhone bluetooth. What does unlocking the iPhone bluetooth mean? It means that the iPhone will be able to detect other phones, and the other phones will be able to detect the iPhone.

According to the article, an iSpazio user named MeDevil, has been working on a project called The iPhone Bluetooth Project, to unlock the iPhone's bluetooth. So far they have made significant progress by an application developed by MeDevil, and the terminal. Using this application they were able to find two other devices a Sony Ericsson phone and an Hackintosh phone, from the iPhone.
