Treat every new site as a scam.

Looks legit?, Right?

Hmmm, chat’s offline?, yeah right...

Big claims, Right?




WRONG.


fastra1n / fastunlockiphone.com is fraudulent.
You will *not* jailbreak or unlock your iPhone. You will lose $24.99.
Karma doesn’t register with these people. Screw ‘em protect yourself.

The only way to ‘contact’ anyone: eMail. (fake captcha and all).

It’s best to treat any potential purchases from a business as if you’ve been scammed; attempt to contact the company; no / unanswered / invalid phone number?

Search the business online, in the case of new products, wait for a credible source before committing.


At least order by credit, you can usually be reimbursed by the card companies in the event of a scam such as this.


Search Avoiding Online Fraud.


Been scammed by an online ‘business’?

-Copy and/or screen-shoot any and all information, and file with the Better Business Bureau (USA); and the Internet Service Provider (eMail issuer) for the support [if any], or contact listings.

Mike Elgan: What’s So Great About Siri?

Adam Cheyer: Director of Engineering for Apple’s iPhone Group.

If only Adobe (an original Apple programmer) could update its products {via IT Pro}.

An opinion on Apple's iOS (iPhone, iPad) rejection of Adobe's Flash product {via MacWorld}.

Secure those iPad (iPhone, iTouch) Files:

With most new/cool/electronic devices, people like to gain hands-on experience ...for good or bad.

Locking the iPad (or iPhone, iTouch) with a passcode is a good first step, but what if someone wants to try the device out?

Using an app like “Goodreader” allows you to password protect your sensitive documents (Text, Photo, PDF, etc…) from prying eyes.

Having flash installed on your devices apparently does shorten battery life.

Steve Jobs' [CEO; Apple Inc.] company has been criticized for refusing to allow Adobe’s Flash software it be installed on it’s portable iOS devices (iPhone, iTouch, iPad), and the new OSX Macbook Air laptop computer [user installable].

The stated primary reasons were security and power consumption issues.

While the security issues are being addressed, the power problem is just beginning to come to light (of the end-users).

Steve Jobs may be a [highly?] regarded as an over-zealous pitchman, but he’s certainly no liar.

Jailbreaking your iPhone / iTouch:

The following links reference the iPhone Developers Blog. These brilliant people are continually updating their software to enable better control of the iPhone / iTouch you've purchased.

The options provided include:
- Additional software not provided or sanctioned by Apple Inc.
- Access to the file system.
- Custom ringtones, wallpapers, themes.
- Maintaining your 'Think ...Different' attitude.


First, know your hardware version;  I.E. is it a 2G-(the original model), 3G, or 3GS iPhone.

Second, check your Software and Firmware versions:
[Touch  Settings >  General >  About]
Note the [operating system software] Version and Modem Firmware.


If you have operating system software (sometimes referred to as the firmware):

Version 2.2 click here.

Version 2.21 click here.

Version 3.0 click here.

Version 3.0.1 click here.

Version 3.1 unavailable at this time.




  Bonus!   iClarified has several iPhone step-by-step guides here.
                    (iClarified's iTouch step-by step guides here.)

Maintaining iPhone Jailbreak with OS 3.1; Step One.

On jailbroken devices, run Cydia now (upgrade the program if you don't see the heart):

Click the heart to have your device's hash signature saved from future reference.

Deciding not to have your device on file will probably lock the device out of future jailbreaking attempts.

Do not upgrade to 3.1 at this time; this is step one in preparation for maintaining control of your device.









Thanks to the iPhone Development team for thier outstanding help.






Once your has file has been recorded, you'll see this message:

Hold off on upgrading your iPhone to OS 3.1.

The development team explains how this could prevent your device from being opened (hacked) permanently.

The Unofficial Apple Weblog's take here.

iPhone / iTouch Firmware 2.2.1 No or Intermittent WiFi issues:

Some iPhones / iTouchs have experienced No or Intermittent WiFi (wireless ethernet) connectivity.

This issue largely appears after upgrading the firmware to the newest 2.1.1 version.

The theory developed here on Apple's own forums, largely by posters like ScottieWil and Baldwind00 seem to indicate three intertwining issues:

1) The firmware apparently uncaps the WiFi chip, increasing the download speed of the device.

2) The WiFi chip working harder, generates more heat.

3) As LiPo battery ages, the current draw and capacity may fluctuate -aggravated by the WiFi chip drawing more power, and the device heating up more.

4) Further, if the device is squeezed, the back panel may compress tiny metal 'fingers' angled to contact the WiFi chip designed to aid in dissipating heat to a metal panel inside.

Read the Forum for the details.

If the device is in warranty, take/send it to Apple:

If the WiFi is flaky, it may be easier to demonstrate if the battery charge is between 50% and 80% -see the link above or below to the forum....

If the device is out of warranty:

Briefly, one can try to lessen the effects by: (In increasing risk and difficulty)

1) Turn off the auto-brightness. (Saves battery draw.)

2) Turn off Bluetooth when not in use. (Saves battery draw.)

3) Keep the device cool; place on a cool, dry surface. (The device has water indicators inside the headphone and dock openings, water -even from condensation [by placing the device in the freezer -even in a sealed bag] should to be avoided, as this may foul the indicators.)

4) Disassembly is not recommended, however carefully and slightly bending the tiny metal 'fingers' down to better contact the WiFi chip may dissipate heat better.

5) Add a very thin layer of high-quality heat-sync compound to the WiFi chip. (Only if you understand electronics -too thick is as bad as no compound.)

6) Replace the battery. (Provides longer and more stable current.)

Hopefully a solution will be presented, through software to throttle back the WiFi perhaps, or a firmware update.

Thanks to the tireless posters who spent countless hours troubleshooting this issue.

Apple has an amazing user base, and this thread is exceptionally professional and helpful.

Apple App Store programs refusing to run (dumping immediately back to the main screen):

This post pertains to the applications downloaded from the Apple App Store.
Applications downloaded from 'Cydia' or 'Installer', see posting here.

Symptom: An iPhone / iTouch application appears to crash back to the spring/summerboard upon running.

Possible cause: The application was bought under, or synced to, another iTunes or App Store (.Mac) ID.

Possible solution 1: Uninstall, then reinstall the application.
(Programs purchased can be downloaded again free if using the same ID under which it was bought originally.)

Possible solution 2: Re-sync to the original computer profile/iTunes (apps not purchased under the original iTunes/App Store ID will be lost; the app can be re-downloaded [for free] only under the properly purchased ID).

[hacked] iPhone/iTouch memory allocation chart

{Unhacked devices can use the built-in setting.}


Many people don't realize Cydia has a built-in memory allocation pie chart.

(Cydia and Installer are the two programs installed on the devices when hacked by ZiPhone.)

Run Cydia, touch 'Manage', touch 'Storage'.
