Tips for Jailbroken iPhone Users
In this week I have been waiting a miracle to happen while I am using my iPhone to know everything. When I add a new application or a package from Cydia, I really feel so stressed because I don’t want to see anything in my iPhone especially because it’s not Factory Unlocked, and I use tens of applications. Any mistake, will piss me off.
Since 4 days and until today, I formatted my iPhone 3GS twice, the first problem was because I was playing with Cydia apps what caused a wifi problem and the second one occurred because I was also playing with iPhone files, delete, edit and add new files so my iPhone was stucking on Apple Logo, the only solution in this case is to connect your iPhone to iTunes and “Restore” the factory settings but that option was completely not good because iTunes will update my iPhone OS to latest version which is “3.1.3″ and this step will make me wait the DevTeam for more than 2 months to release a tool to solve this issue.
In this post, I just want to give you some important tips that will totally help you if you are an iPhone user or if you are planning to buy an iPhone.
Tip for who want to buy an iPhone:
1. Model: If you are going to buy an iPhone, you should not think about saving money because purchasing iPhone 3G these days is absolutely a very big mistake! After 4 or 6 months from now Apple will release its iPhone 4G so do not think to stay behind the stage and just watching what is going on and whats new in iPhone technology. 2 choices, buy a 3GS iPhone or wait for a couple of months (maybe more) and get iPhone 4G.
2. iPhone OS version: The latest version of iPhone OS is 3.1.3! Always ask for iPhone with this update.
3. Unlocked Operator: The operator is the biggest problem with iPhone. For example, in my country, the iPhone 3GS is only unlocked for Orange Mobile, so Zain and Umnianh users cannot benefit from it which means that I cannot use it with other operators so I MUST Unlock it myself using illegal software. What I want to say is the fact that you MUST get Factory Unlocked ONLY. The FU thing will let you use your iPhone with whichever operator in your country.
NOW: If you already bought an iPhone, then go and read the following tips.
Tips for who has an iPhone:
1. Cydia: Never try to play with Cydia packages and sources or apps!!! Don’t listen to anybody when he/she say :”Dude, install this thing because it rocks and blablablabablabblab lalalal” Just ask who know good things (I personally ask @jarofjuice because he is iPhone-Guru!!!). When you want to use a package, app or anything from Cydia, Google it, read about it, and make sure to read blog posts comments because you will get a full view on that thing you want to install. Again, be super careful with Cydia.
2. Applications: When I say Cydia or Jailbreak, then I truly means the hacked apps. In this field, never trust any source (website or tool) and ask for tested websites (I cannot share these websites here because its illegal – email me if you want my source)
I always hear “I will never ever buy a Jailbroken iPhone”. Okay, its up to you, but personally I don’t think its a shame or a bad thing to Jailbreak your iPhone!!! just all you need and what I said is to be careful. iPhone is a fantastic and awesome device but you should remember that your iPhone is a Jailbroken.
If you don’t want to Jailbreak it then get only FREE applications from App Store or buy licensed apps.
