  11. Pavan says:

    Hi,
    It’s irritating. how long?

  12. old_user says:

    Let’s face it. This article is COMPLETELY USELESS !!!
    I was thinking what to say to my friends why they should jailbreak theirs phones and I thought it will be good to forward it to them. Their answer was simple – there is NO REASON to jailbreak it based on this article. I showed them what it is really about but you… Just wrote useless piece of nothing. Slowly, slowly and it is becomming pointless to visit this site.

    ;-(

    • Chriss says:

      Well, the one reason why people “have” to jailbreak is because they want to steal the apps, they give up there warranty, mess up the battery management, loose some rather important functions (VPN,GPS) to save the average 99c.
      Well, good luck. We had a lot of work all week in the store with jailbroken devices, mainly iPad2 and iPhone 4S (32 and 64, the 16 GB Version seems to be better)

      I never heard of anybody that wanted to jailbreak because they HAD to have an app Apple refused for whatever reason. Never. Everyone wants free apps. Period.

    • Pooja says:

      Mr old user if u think its useless ,y du bother to visit and write ur comments and waste ur time and others time as well. If u dint find a gud reason for jb ur useless first of all as there are quite a lot of gud applications to jb. example sbs settings, apple themes, five icon dock, lock screen, my3g etc….ur useless and are a waste piece to comment about this site as u dont know how to use the jb applications. sit at home and disconnect from net and read a book. dont put useless comments by visiting this site.

      Thanks,

      • old_user says:

        Well, I will advice you guys to read with understanding. Your answer include more good examples why to jailbreak it than this article ! I know why I always jailbreak my phone but this article DOESN’T HELP NEW USERS – period

        By the way, I just helped my friend to configure, modify, personalise and install free apps on her new HTC Amaze with Android OS. To be honest… I feel sorry for ALL OF US iPhone users. This what we have to jailbreak, install, learn, modify, take a risk of conflicts, crashes, etc… Android users have it just build in as default, and installing any app is just totally painless.

        Now I’m totally not sure if I will buy new coming iPhone. I’ll consider HTC Android strongly.

        Do you have any opinion ( constructive comparison) about it?

    I have an iphone 4s bought from U.S which is locked to AT&T carrier.How to unock it and jailbrake it.Please help!!!

    • Chriss says:

      No Problem to jailbreak, follow the instructions on this page. You loose some functionallity like working VPN, the GPS acts quite strange giving you positions somtimes 300ml wrong, sometimes only 30yards wrong, but always anoying. Battery life goes down and you get the frequent but from earlier jailbreaks known random restarts but it seems that nearly 3million devices have been jailbroken, so people do not seem to mind those negative effects. Totally, all devices running iOS, there are close to 18million jailbrocken devices out there, out of about 310million.
      If you use Absinth to jailbreack, be aware that megabytes of data are being send from your device to unknown servers, nobody knows what is being send but I would not store any personal information on your device if I’m you.

      There will be no chance to ever unlock your phone. AT&T is until now refusing to unlock subsedised phones. All providers worldwide will unlock the phones bought thru them, some after a few month (and a hefty payment to cover the subsedy) most for free after the general 2 year contract has expired.

      Simply sell your phone to a US costomer that will use AT&T and get the phone in your own country, its going to be even cheaper then in the US, depending on your contract.

      If your country is not carriing the iP4s get a unlocked one from Apple (Luxenbourg and the UK are the cheapest) but calculate around $900.

    • Pooja says:

      Akshay, read my post above…u can never ever unlock a usa iphone 4 locked wiht at&t…dont wait …sell it off and get auk iphone4…u can get it unlocked by taking an orange sim for 3 months or by paying the amnt…usa atnt u got f***d.

      hope it helps.
