My exciting night tonight
I’ve been waiting for this night for so long, a night, just sitting in with the girl and watching movies and eating pizza. That’s all that is going to happen tonight. It always seems like we do so much together but we don’t actually feel like we get anytime together. Tonight that should change and we can have some quality time together and basically nothing else. ;
;- Despicable Me
- Men In Black (Obviously my choice, mainly because It’s such a good film and secondly… the girl has never seen it!)
Update:
The message that was sent was:
Why?! You wanking?! Can you dig pizza hut menu out? It’s in drawer next to sink. Choose what you want and we’ll order when I get in x
HOWTO: Jailbreak iPhone 4S and iPad 2
So I got home, logged onto twitter and found out the iPad2 and 4S jailbreak untethered had been released.
Real simple to do, download Absinthe from http://cache.greenpois0n.com/dl/absinthe-mac-0.1.2-1.zip
- Launch on your Mac
- Disable Passcode Lock
- Hit Jailbreak
- Wait a few moments
- Launch the Absinthe logo on the iPhone
- Your phone will look as though its restoring
- When back up there is Cydia
Enjoy your jailbroken A5 devices!
Update: If your phone doesn’t look as though it is doing anything when the Absinthe logo is launched on your device. Simply do a reboot
Update2: It looks as though greenpois0n.com is having problems at the moment, you may be getting “Error Establishing Database Connection” when you try and launch the Absinthe application on your iPhone 4S or iPad2.
Built in emoji keyboard iOS5
I really wasn’t expecting to find this out this morning but I reckon after a little bit of searching if I really wanted to I would have been able to find it!
To turn on the free built in emoji on iOS 5 simply do the following
· Settings
· General
· Keyboard
· Click international
· Select emoji
Job done, now when composing messages, tweets or emails simply click on the globe and you will be presented with nice emoji icons
Good buy all the apps that used to charge 69p + for apps.
iPad went strange today..
So, yesterday I Jailbroke my iPad running 5.0.1 with @pod2g‘s untethered jailbreak for A4 devices.
I was playing around with Cydia and installing some of the usual applications like:
iFile, Winterboard, SBSettings as well as some more random applications, as soon as I find the website where I was getting the ideas from I will list them all. However when I rebooted my iPad it came back up and let me log in fine, however I noticed the icons were strangely spaced out (which makes me think Winterboard) may have been to blame but until I replicate the error I cannot be sure. All of my applications thought they were running on an iPhone. My touch screen wouldnt work within applications so I couldnt remove apps from Cydia either.
The only way to get around it was to restore and re-jailbreak.
Investigations continue.
UPDATE: I did also install the FullForce application
Just upgraded my iPad 1 to iOS 5.0.1: Problems
Yesterday I decided it was time to upgrade my iPad to iOS 5.0.1 (great timing with the untethered jailbreak getting released this morning) so far, I’m not that impressed. I keep getting really bad lags and applications that just force close.
Not sure why, but I’m just about to jailbreak, so I will see what that allows me to do and install from Cydia.
Anyone else had problems with iOS 5.0.1 running on iPad 1?
UPDATE, now I have jailbroken it’s still randomly closing applications when it wants to. Investigations continue
iPhone 4S speaker problems
So today I noticed a problem with my new 4S speaker. I downloaded the 12 days of christmas application and also continued to download the top gear episodes that were todays gift.
When I started playing the video it sounded a little strange, I covered up the right speaker and you could tell something was in the way of the speaker. I then continued to cover up the left speaker and there was no change.
It appears the left hand speaker in my iPhone is not working, I have tried all the usual restoring firmware etc but still had no effect. I made my appointment at the Apple store tomorrow to see if they will swap it out. If they don’t have any in stock I may return the phone and stick with my iPhone 4, but that is another blog post as to why I may just do that.
I will update this post tomorrow when I get back from the Apple store.
So I decided to cancel my appointment at the Apple store. Reason being from a reply on the comments made me look for something so simple. However looking at the iPhone 4 specs this seems to be the same. I will check on my iPhone 4 to see if the issue is the same and if it is, I won’t do anything and just put it down to a stupid moment I was having. If it doesn’t it is def going back to Apple to check.
