It was a pain for me and a lot of other people who were having the same problem as me. Check out Geohot's message board, lots of conflicting program and processes issues.

I got rid of winterboard a long time ago, it was cool at first but it seems to bog my phone down a lot.

My JB is needed for only a couple things...mainly Intelliscreen because I use the iPhone for work e-mail and it makes things much easier. SBS, Five icon dock, E-mail searcher, Flashlight...little things like that are the other. Intelliscreen is the big one though, if that functionality came on the phone nativly I prob wouldn't even jailbreak.

Yea, it's a little glitchy too, but it's functionality is extremely valuable so I put up with it.

Seriously, is it really necessary for an app to help you find where you parked?

I was upgrading to the 3.1.2 and chose the wrong file and it upgraded my modem.

I've unlocked and jailbroke more iphones then I can remember and in the end screwed my own up.

^ I have my original DFU files, not that I need to unlock it but I saved them just in case. Not sure if you can downgrade the baseband though.

I was thinking the same thing - how is that making an ass out of themselves? It's the truth. And, compared to Apple ads? totally legitimate ad.

For me, I have great at&t service, and a phone that blows away anything out there, at least a phone that caters to MY needs.

Dunno if this has already been covered, but something to be wary about when taking pix with the iphone - with location services on, it saves the GPS position in the EXIF of the picture. This has the potential to cause trouble!

Is there a way I can disable that? It used to ask me "Camera would like you use your location" or whatever but now it doesn't show up anymore.


There are pics I took using my iPhone in the "Pics from the Driver's Seat" thread... I mean my passenger took.

The only problem with that is that it disables it for everything not just geotagging of photos

You can disable it anyway. If an application wants to use location services, it will pop up a prompt, then you can allow or deny.

^Exzachary. Why would you want it on 24/7? I guess it's easier for me since I can easily swipe and tap on the button in sbsettings to activate it on the fly
