I blocked a girl who kept ringing me. Now she goes straight to voicemail :)

Cool. Is that a free app or a paid one?

its free via Installer or Cydia i think.

Though with the free version u can only block 2 numbers and can block all private numbers.

U have to pay if u want more numbers to be blocked

Also can block SMS's as well. Though u need a jailbroken iPhone.

If u dont know how. Go to www.modmyi.com and go to the forums and go to the part where it says jailbreaking.

What did you use to jailbreak?

I used redsnow and after installing one app from Cydia all native iphone apps (phone, phonebook, camera, etc.) disappeared completely and there was nothing even in the dock of my phone....

I reinstalled os 3.0 on my iphone and retried the jailbreak... same thing happened within 10 minutes...

any idea why?

I'm no help with your question. I'm a noob too, but I'm sure hasher or bailout can help you.

Lafiro · 07-28-2009, 09:48 AM

Ok, I dont want any of my icons or current apps to disappear!

And as of right now, if I can have my phone work like before but have the ability to do more/install more apps, then why not right!

edit:
I found these websites. One thing is, which program should i use to jailbreake my 3GS?

Very nice website, where I downloaded the profile to apply tethering to my phone as it is now, and also pertains to question #4, because I see different files say semitethered? I dont know anymore this is all confusing!

http://www.benm.at/downloads/

1) And is it a good idea to get my phones iBEC and iBSS?

2) When I do a backup of my phone via iTunes, will my contacts be backed up as well?

3) I will assume that I can go ahead and at any time restore my iPhone to OS 3.0 incase anything happens?(the link to the OS 3.0 is in one of the links above)

4) I would assume that I can stil tether my 3.0 phone once it has been jailbroken?

5)Thanks again!

I used redsn0w as well, with 2.1 and 3.0, and saw no ill effects. It sounds like there is an existing issue with your phone's file system that is manifesting when jailbroken. Try a full reset as guided here (don't be afraid to dry the DFU mode if the issue persists) and then try jailbreaking with redsn0w from another computer than you used the previous time.

I don't know anything about Slingbox and I'm not sure what you mean about the new OS (meaning 3.0) not being jailbroken yet. It was done weeks ago, and if you ever want to do a restore just follow the DFU mode instructions in the link I gave above.

As for tethering, check out PDANet via Cydia once your phone is jailbroken

Lafiro · 07-28-2009, 01:30 PM

lol BailOut thanks, but you answered my question right before I modified it because I thought that first question was pretty dumb to begin with.

So if you can please answer the edit, or if someone can, I would appreciate it.

And you also said redsn0w is what you used? Is there a difference between the different methods of jailbreaking?

I bought Navignon MobileNavigator North America today. I am so psyched to finally have a decent voice guided navigation app for my iPhone. I hate having to carry my phone and a separate GPS device when I travel. There's also a European version (but no Australian version yet).

Let me know if you ever see an Aussie version. Thanks

iphone FTW...

Search torrents for your favorite iphone apps.. there are torrents with over 5000 apps.

I've been wanting to buy the new 3gs. I have the normal 3G 16GB. Bought it when it came out and i find that the new 3.0 OS is a bit sluggish on my phone. Mind you its hacked an everything but even when i installed the OS fresh it was slow. The 3gs is much faster!

The best way to describe the speed difference it is like a F1 car vs a V8

My wife has the iPhone 3g and I have the 3gs.

1) Yes, as everything I've read says you will need it for future jailbreaks on the 3GS (but only on the 3GS).

2) Yes, they are captured as part of the general backup every time you sync your iPhone with iTunes. They can also be sync'd with an application of your choosing.

3) Yep.

4) All original OS 3.0 functionality will be retained. Jailbreaking simply adds to it.

The first time I jailbroke my iPhone was on OS 2.1 and I used QuickPwn to do it. While the jailbreak was successful it left the phone unable to sync with iTunes. While this wasn't a big deal for me at first since I wasn't using iTunes at all (instead sync'ing via rsync over SSH to Linux) it became a problem when 3.0 released. Since many base applications like Maps and Contacts were enhanced I couldn't just copy my rsync backups over to the new firmware, and because iTunes didn't even recognize the phone any longer I had to do a full reset when upgrading to 3.0. I hand-copied all my contacts, calendar entries, etc. to a spreadsheet, and then had to manually enter them on the newly-upgraded phone... a time intensive PITA.

Once I upgraded to 3.0 I tried out redsn0w instead of QuickPwn and it has worked flawlessly from the start. Despite the jailbreak I can still sync (and therefore backup) the phone with iTunes.

I'm using the US version and it's very good. I have a navigation HU in my Yaris, so I am using the iphone app in my other vehicle and in rental cars when I travel for business. It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of a dedicated GPS, but I really like not having to carry my phone and a GPS when I travel.
