IPhone :: Recent Skype Update (multitask Support) And Jailbreak
Jul 24, 2010
I haven't read anything lately regarding the problem jailbroken phones have when runinng the last Skype update, in regards to multitasking and background support.
Are there any news? Is it due to mobile substrate? I'm just curious since I haven't seen any talk about this.
Just got my phone yesterday but there appears to be no support for video Skype. Does anyone know if this is to force you to use Google Talk or will Skype eventually be working with RAZR.
I read on Skype's website that Tegra 2 devices such as the Atrix can't do video calling because the chipset doesn't have NEON technology support. Is this something that can be changed with a software update, or is this something that Tegra 2 devices will never be able to have?
i currently have an iphone 3gs with 3.1.2 jailbroken. it was manufactured in week 29 of last year according to my serial number. does that mean i have the old boot rom/non MC-model? i know 3.1.3 has no new features. the only reason i have to update is because my cydia/apt is screwed up and the only way to fix it is to restore. itunes will not let me restore my 3.1.2 without updating (yes, i tried the shift/option button thing).i just want to know if i upgrade to 3.1.3, will i be able to jailbreak with snow breeze?p.s. i know i can upgrade and downgrade using saurik's method, but that's just too much work.
It took me all nite, but I was able to re-jailbreak my iPhone 3GS after I got stuck in reboot mode after a network reset and was forced to update to 3.1.3. This happened almost 3 weeks ago, and I not only lost my jailbreak, but all of the apps, photos and EVERYTHING that I had on my phone as after I did the update to 3.1.3 I could only set up my phone as a new device. Anyway, I searched online and I found all of the tools I needed to accomplish this task. I downloaded Redsn0w 0.9.2, BlackRa1n RC3, The 3.1.2 ispw firmware, and iRecovery. I also found a post on hacking the drivers folder in the Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file in Windows that would allow 3.1.3 to be downloaded to 3.1.2. It took a couple of hours and some patience, but when all was said and done I was able to downgrade the firmware and re-jailbreak my phone.
I have an iPhone 3G which is currently jailbroken using QuickPWN. My firmware is version 2.2.1 with Modem Firmware 02.30.03.
Without the more recent 3.x.x firmware I cannot use some of the newer Apps which require this update.With all of the banter about preserving baseband and future unlock & jailbreaking what is the best way to update my firmware and re-jailbreak the phone?
i have an iphone 3G S, someone please answer me, i have an IPHONE 3GS, can i RESOTRE in ituens to a fresh 4.0 and then use pwnagetool 4.01 to jailbreak and then ultrasn0w to unlock? i dont know if its the old bootrom or the new one,it has baseband 05.12.01, i used ultrasn0w to unlock it and now its unlocked, i used SPIRIT to jailbreak it,I want to upgrade to firmware 4.0 right now,i read in the pwnage tool 4 notes that i cant restore with a custom firmware now because i jailbroke with spirit,so please tell me , how would i update to 4.0 and jailbreak and unlock?
I Jailbroke my iPhone using Redsnow 0.9.5 when firmware 4.0 first came out and all went well.Since that time, i have jailbroken a buddy of mine's iPhone, and i saw that the software has changed from "0.9.5" to --> "0.9.5b5-5"
I'm thinking there must of been something in the jailbreak software that they changed if they created another update to it, and I'd like my iPhone to be as up to date with jailbreak software as possible.
To re-Jailbreak it with 0.9.5b5-5 am I going to have take my jailbreak off, which consists of restoring my iPhone and losing everything, including everything I have downloaded from Cydia. or could I just re-run the jailbreak software, on my already already jailbroken iPhone and it just patch and overwrite the existing jailbreak. or would it double the jailbreak software onto my iPhone?
I updated my facebook app on my iphone 4 and 3gs. after update it cannot connect to facebook. im not sure if its the jailbreak or the unlock from ultrasn0w.
Can anyone provide me with some guidance on how to update to the iOS4 plateform and keep my jailbreak? I am using an iPhone 3GS on 3.1.2 JB with old bootrom
I was wondering that if I were to purchase apps such as BiteSMS and Lockinfo, what would happen if I restored my phone to update and then did another jailbreak? Would I have to repurchase the apps?
I may be missing something very basic here, but myself and two mates have just upgraded to iOS4. I am able to create folders, but for some reason I cannot multitask at all, and my friends cameras now work much faster than mine, which has stayed at the speed it always was. The upgrade to version 4.0 has only given me the ability to create folders, and absolutely nothing else.
When I doubled clicked the home button the multitask icons appeared. I accidentally deleted the text icon and need to put it back. How can I put this back?
I've got an Iphone 3G updated to 4.0.1 and I did jailbreak it and unlock the network, but now when I open the Itunes I found a mandatory update for the carrier setting. My question is if i update it will I lose the jailbreak and the network will lock again?
I'm sure this has been posted before, but, does anyone agree that it's a bit clumsy how multitasking is handled? I mean you have to manually close each app that you don't want running in the background.
Wouldn't it make more [sense] to be able to choose which apps will multitask and which will not, say in settings with a maker next to each app or something?
I have been playing around after installing a beta from bigboss's beta repo that gets rid of recent apps, and only keeps backgrounder apps in the multitasking in bar. All the official apps work in he background (maps, app store, camera,etc.)After freeing memory with sbsettings, (once again beta that "free mem" is not glitched), these apps takes a lot less memory than they did before. Mobile music only uses approx 10-15mb now, a lot less than before. I could run maps, app store, music, and angry birds flawlessly. this was all on a regular 3g. BTW: Bigboss beta repo: thebigboss. org /betarepo/the music controls also work fine in the "double click multitask" menu, as does the rotation lock. the ipones' as zippy as ever
I updated my iPhone 4 last Sunday and since then, every time I send a text to a non-iMessage user, if the text is over 20 characters, I'm being told that it cuts off the last word and sends it as a second text to my friends. Is anyone else having this trouble? I know it isn't a big issue, but it's annoying to my friends to send two messages and the second only has one word in it. I'm with Sprint, but I can't imagine it being a carrier problem, right?
Most recently having severe battery drainage on my 4s and also my partners 4, is this possible due to recent 5.1 update or could it be associated with an app update ? Which there have been several since 5.1 was released, I,m not sure also but my new iPad possibly maybe showing similar effects. As mentioned this all has happened over the last few days. Could there be a conflict with an App and iOS 5.1 ? This has become so frustrating as my battery only now lasts a few hours before re-charging. Can Apple please look into this issue, as I,m sure there must be other users with same issue. Please find a fix for this problem.
Is anyone else experiencing the life being sucked out of their battery after the recent version 5.1.1 iphone software update? Last update to 5.0 did the same thing, but there was a patch released a few weeks afterwards. Any info on when a patch for this most recent version update will be released? Thanks!!
iphone 4s working fine. Updated to 7.1.1 and text messages / imessages sporadically sent. Notification of unsent message sometime hours late. the same thing happened after the last update. am I doing something wrong? I'm quite old fashioned and simply want my phone to function without digging through lengthy troubleshooting pages. apple products used to simply 'work' now it seems .
I recently (Aug 2014) updated my iphone 4 and now I am unable to stream any radio from apps on my phone.For example "Tune in " app.Phone wont even start to buffer ! Have tried turning phone right off and on again but this made no difference.
my time/date suddenly looks huge to me. Kind of jarring I think. I'm not sure if it's changed somehow, or if I've just never noticed before. Does this look like the standard size? Is there any way it may have changed??
