With newer, more powerful dual and quad-core processors being introduced, these processors require more and more energy to operate. Apple realizes this and is looking into possible resolutions for better battery life while maintaining the same slim and sleek profile the iPhone 4 currently has.
Cupertino has filed a new patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office titled “Increasing Energy Density in Rechargeable Lithium Battery Cells,” which does just that...
Here comes another tweak! Although this tweak has been available for jailbroken iPhones for quite some time now, I seemed to stumble upon it earlier this week and found it pretty cool!
With this tweak you'll be able to use unicode symbols to spice up your social life. How does it work? Simply hold down the 1-5 number keys and you will have access to universally viewable symbols that can be added to your text messages, tweets, and more.
The best part is, unlike emoji which are only viewable on some devices, the unicode symbols in Vmoji will display correctly on any mobile device or computer. The tweak is also free of charge, so that's another thumbs up...
For all you speed demons out there, iOS4's multitasking is a little bit cumbersome. Sure you can work in one app, load up the switcher, and then select the app you would like to switch to, but in most cases, there's only a couple of apps you need to use simultaneously.
If you find yourself switching back and forth between two apps quickly, i.e., App Store and Safari, then LastApp is a true gem. This time-saver has been around for a while, but it hasn't received much attention...
You mad? Toshiba's teaser site for their upcoming tablet line looks like any regular Flash website on a normal desktop web browser. Visit that same website from an iOS device such as the iPhone or iPad, and not so much.
While it's obvious that the Flash aspects would be omitted from the iOS versions of the website due to Apple's well documented lack of support for the plugin, it's not the lack of Flash that has people talking this time...
It seems that AirPlay, Apple's revamped AirTunes technology, has been catching on and rapidly expanding in the last few months that iOS 4.2.1 has been around. There are now many ways to stream media to and from devices, with functionality mimicking that of the Apple TV (and beyond).
With new solutions emerging on both the desktop and the iPhone, modern technology and innovative development have taken the legwork out of streaming and sharing. Here are the best ways to take advantage of this amazing technology and choose where YOU want to see your content...
There are plenty of ways to access the files on your iPhone, whether through iTunes, SSH, SFTP, iFile, or a multitude of apps. However, adding automatic network sharing to your setup takes quite a few steps out of connecting to your device.
I tried these in an attempt to get my video game media center to read files on my iPhone from inside the network. If you'd like to turn your iPhone into a shared network drive for any reason, there are two particular Cydia packages that you should try today...
If you're looking for a way to make your iOS experience seem snappier without any damaging overclocking hacks, then look no further. There's a new package for the jailbroken iPhone called FakeClockUp that does just that.
The tweak will not change any hardware settings, but rather alters the UI animation speeds so that transitions and other animations will occur shorter or longer, whichever you prefer...
Sometimes it seems that Cydia updates can take forever. For slower devices, it may be normal. But if you see errors while downloading or if the update takes more than five minutes, there may be a solution.
Before you start this method, you will need to have APT Strict installed. If you have CyDelete installed, then you already have this. Otherwise, make sure Cydia is set to Developer mode, search for it and install...
I typically don't dabble in the rumor pool, and Verizon iPhone rumors are about as useful as breaks on a Toyota, but I just had to pass along this little tidbit. A source contacted us, claiming to have new confirmation on the much talked about Verizon iPhone.
The source claimed they worked at a major network maintenance company, in Austin, Tx. There, they helped serve and maintain networks and servers for some of the largest companies in the states.
The story got interesting when they told us that at a budget meeting last month with Verizon, there was to be a drastic change in their needed services and costs over Q1 and Q2 of next year due to how much was being spent on the iPhone from Apple...
Need a place to put your iPhone while hanging out in your underwear? There's a pair of boxers for that!
The Scottevest Travel Boxers have a built in pocket so that your iPhone has a snug place to stay warm and cuddle with you while you roam around the house near-commando style. Of course, the blogosphere has taken to making every kind of joke possible about them. Here are some highlights:
The folks over at TiPB have posted a nice and handy walk-through guide for iOS 4.2 features for iPhone, detailing all the new features expected in the latest iOS rollout, due this month (maybe as early as this week?)
While it's not a major overhaul, there are several features iOS 4.2 is bringing that enhance the user experience - especially for iPad users. So which 4.2 features are you looking forward to getting the most on your iPhone?
After jailbreaking for 4.1, many of you will notice you can no longer run apt-get commands from the command line, whether SSH or MobileTerminal. This is mind boggling, and none of the support sites or forums seem to have the right answer. The most common suggested solution is to delete some sources from Cydia and re-add them. This doesn't work.
After a few hours of troubleshooting, I gave up and assumed it was a limitation of greenpois0n. However, today I accidentally found the answer, and it's quite simple to make this work again.
