Needless to say, the last few days have been both frustrating and exciting. Exciting because I was among the first to order my iPhone 4S on Friday morning; frustrating because Apple's order status page still reads "Preparing for Shipment".
This wouldn't be so annoying if it weren't for the fact that most of the iDB staff received shipment notifications a while ago.
I know, first world problems indeed, but a problem it was. Thankfully, there's a quick and easy way to gather accurate results about the whereabouts of your new iPhone 4S. I show you how in this video tutorial...
Update: Video and download pulled. Apparently this file is not officially approved by the developer, and it was stolen/illegal/unlicensed. I apologize for the inconvenience, but we don't want to wrong the hard working members of the community. I hope you understand.
One of the main reasons that people have shied away from the iOS 5 jailbreak, besides the obvious tethered nature, is the lack of settings for their favorite tweaks. This makes their favorite tweaks severely maimed, or utterly useless.
The following tutorial shows how to update your PreferenceLoader which will in turn enable settings for tweaks on iOS 5. Keep in mind that an update PreferenceLoader should be coming anyway, with the release of iOS 5 on October 12th. For those who just can't bare to wait any longer, this tutorial is for you...

Thankfully, we've found a method to circumvent the issue. Take a look inside for the full video tutorial...

Siri is Apple's new flagship feature on the iPhone 4S. In fact, they're counting on the iPhone 4S' Siri integration to move units, as it's an exclusive feature to the iPhone 4S.
But what some of you might not realize is this: Siri has already been available for the iPhone for quite some time now, in fact, it was just removed from the App Store in the last 24 hours.
In other words, it works on the original iPhone 4, quite similarly to the way it works on the new iPhone 4S, and we have the video to prove it...

A few days ago, we received a question about SBSettings; specifically, how do you enable swiping for the toggle buttons in SBSettings?
By default, SBSettings will enable more than two rows if you have more than eight buttons in your list of toggles. Because of this, there's no need to have separate pages for toggles, due to everything fitting on a single page.
Ah, but there is a simple way to force a maximum of two rows of toggles, as this video tutorial shows you inside...
