    Split DSTV signal for free-to-air decoder

    Hi guys, I have an issue and I'm hoping you can help to give me some answers. My dad bought a third party decoder so that he can watch free-to-air channels without having to set them up constantly on the DSTV decoder (for some reason the DSTV decoder keeps deleting the settings for these...

    DSTV October update issues

    Hi guys and girls, I just want to find out if anyone experienced issues with the October DSTV update. Two of my new channels are not working: 105 and 108. I tried rescanning, but no difference. I can't remember the message displayed on the screen. Will get that tonight. Also, when I stay on...

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    Just some interesting info for the people still following my rambling. Today I used my fully charged, jailbroken iPad to read documents and listen to music and the battery dropped with 11% over two hours. I guess it has something to do with the discharge curve of lithium-polymer batteries, where...

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    Sorry for not giving feedback on Friday, but was away from my PC and internet. I did a complete restore on my iPad 2 and ran the test again and got exactly the same results. The battery dropped by 10% in about an hour. So, in short, jailbreaking didn't affect battery life. I guess that I...

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    I will restore tonight, run the test and give some feedback tomorrow. Thanks for suggesting a couple of Cydia tweaks to try out once this experiment is over

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    Maybe sandmanm34 has a point. I just did the second test and I've decided to keep the screen on, but turned Wi-fi and 3G off. The battery dropped from 50% to around 40% in an hour. I found the specs of the iPad on the Apple site and it is: "Up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching...

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    If I'm not mistaking, the spesifications provided by Apple is 10 hours battery life while web browsing using Wi-Fi, and 9 hours using 3G. I'll look it up online. I figured that turning 3G and Wi-fi off, with the screen brightness on 40% would improve battery life.

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    Ok, after some struggle to restore my iPad 2 to 4.3.3, I re-jailbroke it but didn't install any applications from Cydia. I've just listened to .mp3s for over an hour and the battery dropped from 52% to 50%. I'm going to do a similar test with a PDF open and see how it affects battery life. For...

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    Thanks for your feedback. I read elsewhere on the forum that there were some people experiencing issues with that. I was hoping the update fixes more issues. Thanks for clarifying. No, I haven't. This is a good idea. I didn't install any apps except Installous and SBSettings, but this...

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    Yes I did, but it didn't make a significant difference. I'm starting to think I should try a restore and then jailbreak again. That it supposed to use comex's new jailbreak. Maybe it makes a difference.

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    So, nobody else experiencing battery issues?? I thought that since the jailbreak is based on an PDF exploit, that this issue might only occur when I read PDFs, but I was wrong. It seems like this is not application dependent.

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    Thanks for you reply, JStrike. It is a bit strange. It seems like a random occurance. Some people on the internet report rapid drainage of the battery, whereas some say they hardly notice any difference after jailbreaking their iPads. I jailbroke my iPhone and didn't have any issues afterwards...

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    So you didn't try to jailbreak it again to see if the issue was solved?

    Jailbroken iPad 2 battery issues

    Hi guys, I just want to find out something from the guys with jailbroken iPad 2's. I jailbroke mine when the official jailbreak was released (I'm on 4.3.3) and installed Installous and SBSettings. After a couple of days not really using my iPad much, I started reading a PDF on it while...

    iPhone update to 4.2 and unlock

    lol, nevermind guys. I read something on the internet today which I completely ignored the first time I restored my iphone: the activation part. On my first restore I was impatient and disconnected the phone everytime after the restore, which didn't give iTune time to activate my phone on the...
