    Updating to iOS6 from jailbreak

    I have a jailbroken iPhone 4 with old school v. 4.2.6. The time has come to upgrade to iOS6. Since most of my jailbreak apps are NOT support in newer versions of iOS5+ (aka myProfiles), I don't really care if I lose jailbroken apps, because only 1 or 2 were paid apps. I see multiple methods...

    IPhone now on par with Blackberry in regard to security

    I didn't know you can restrict what apps are installed on the iPhone. Also, I didn't know you can get an iPhone without a camera. Learn something new everyday....

    How Much Do You Like Your i4

    Lots of things I love about the iPhone are overshadowed by the fact that it pisses me off how locked down this phone is. iOS need a big overhaul as it's shown to be very dated. Stuff that pisses me off about this phone: Can't use as simple USB storage device No ringer profiles without...

    Do Not Disturb - an observation

    kch50428 how does DnD compare to myProfiles? I am stuck on ios4 because myProfiles is so handy. Are you able to silence alerts for different apps like email, txt msgs, and whatsapp? Or can you only silence all the alerts? Can you setup different DnD profiles?

    Is there an jailbreak app like myProfiles for IOS 5?

    Sadly I have not found anything similar. As great as the iPhone is, a lot of little things really irk me like having no sound profiles.

    Is there an jailbreak app like myProfiles for IOS 5?

    Thanks. Looks like I won't be upgrading to IOS 5 on my IP4 since myProfiles is way too handy and made leaving blackberry a bit easier.

    Is there an jailbreak app like myProfiles for IOS 5?

    The only reason why I have not upgraded my iP4 to IOS5 is because of the best app IMO for IOS 4 which is myProfiles. Unfortunately myProfiles is no longer supported and not IOS 5 compatible. Is there an app or jailbreak app like myProfiles that allows you to set up different sound profiles and...

    Verizon iphone 4.Bad esn. Craigslist. Ebay. COPS???

    First of all, I commend you for being a decent person and offering a return on the phone you sold. There should be more people like you in the world. Next, I wouldn't worry. I highly doubt anything will happen. You just stated that a bad ESN could mean the phone ISN'T stolen and could be...

    Lots of Amateur-ish Questions

    Hi Gawain welcome to the forum. I was a big advocate of BB's a few years ago when RIM's OS and design was somewhat keeping up with the Jones, but unfortunately blunder after blunder (Storm 1, 2, Playbook), and spending too many resources developing the QNX and Playbook instead of beefing up...

    SUMMARY: The Various GPS/Turn By Turn Navigation Apps for the iPhone (for newcomers)

    What I do is Yelp the place I'm looking for then copy the address into Mapquest. Of course Yelp doesn't have everything obviously and it's cumbersome to use two apps but it works for me.

    Blackberry User of 7 years Switches to the iPhone 4

    Welcome. I came from a BB too and my BB Curve 8330 was a very solid phone that got great battery life, had great push notifications and notification system but was really showing it's age. The iphone's email and notification is pretty horrid compared to BB's and battery life has to be closely...

    SUMMARY: The Various GPS/Turn By Turn Navigation Apps for the iPhone (for newcomers)

    Thanks for the time for a nicely written review. I'll chime in and say that MapQuest is my new default navigation app. I used it for a week when I was in the Bay Area in California and in San Francisco and although it sometimes gave me illogical directions (making U turns etc), I never got...

    iOS 4.2.7 update available for Verizon iPhone

    Thanks to everyone who has reported that there are no noticeable upgraded features or stability enhancements/bug fixes. I'm going to stick with my jailbroken 4.2.6 until a worthwhile tested version comes out.

    Verizon 3G Speeds

    All these speedtest applications are very subjective and there is no way to tell if they are legit or correct. I suggest you base your speed on your experience and real world performance not some app that may or may not be true.

    Earpiece Volume?

    Yes, I've noticed my earpiece volume is terrible. I know I'm losing my hearing, but I'm not that deaf!

    Wait for iPhone 5 or get iPhone 4 Now

    Unless you can wait the reported 4 or 5 months til the i5 is released, I would just get the 4. Reason being that there's a very good chance that the iOS 5 will be iPhone 4 compatible. For me, the biggest upgrades besides the possibility of 4G connectivity (which may or may not happen) would be...

    What does the text msg look like in the native SMS app? Do you have any type of 3rd party emoticon apps?

    Incredibly slow internet speed

    I highly doubt that Verizon is going to confirm your actual download/upload speed problem using a third party app like SpeedTest. Who said this program was the de facto program to use or even legitimate. BTW, I just tested mine and I got 564down 870up lol
