Dont think they are cracked, checked the site yesterday and you pay for every piece of software you donwload, and a lot of the stuff is also in the appstore (actually could not find a free piece of software in the db)
 
All those apps are cracked. It's a database that re-directs you to file-hosting sites that people have uploaded their cracked applications. But majority of the links are dead, due to abuse.

And yes this is against forum rules to post sites that are associated with warez, so keep sites like that to yourself.

Who here uses biteSMS with biteSMS Credits? Do your credits get sent through GPRS/3G as data? Would be interesting to know how much one actually pays in total....

well, the concept is the same as mixit, basically, it compresses the text, so the data is literally a few bytes, and by a few i mean like 10 or 20, 'ish....

let's just say the data you're using is negligible?

oh, and on that, did you buy credits??

i'm curious to know what the recipient of an sms sent via bite gets? do they get it as if sent from your own mobile number, or another number? and can they reply to it?
 
I see...

Yeah I did buy credit due to the fact that v3 of biteSMS expires after 20 days. So I just bought a 3 Euro credit which gives me 50 credits and a 12 month subscription for the app itself.

I sms internationally often to family. Currently with Vodacom I am paying R1.53 per int SMS. biteSMS costs 6 Euro cents ~ 77c in Rands. So I am saving at the end of the day with bite credit.

The SMS's go through immedietely and come through as MY number, so the recipient and reply to the sms.

To be honest, sometimes its even quicker than Vodacom! Vodacom would delay my int. SMS sometimes to a few hours..

I am now using biteSMS as my default app.

Reasons:

I can monitor how many SMS's I send per month.
How many int SMS I send per month.
Quick-Reply function in v3!
Landscape mode

didn't know it shows up as your number... nice.... makes it really worth while actually... would've also bought credits in stead that way... u use iReal sms before? how does it compare to you?
 
I've never used iReal properly before. It screwed my sms.db and I was forced to delete it, so ever since I have never gone back to it. I deleted a message, and then on the SpringBoard I had a '-2' as my notification for iRealSMS. For the life of me, I couldn't get to go away. I would even delete that full conversation and it still stayed there.

Do you use iReal? Another reason I didn't enjoy iReal was that it was too complicated. biteSMS is as simple as the Apple SMS application but 4-5 better things. (My opinion)
 
On cydia there is actually an app that fixes the sms db, can't for the life of me remember the name, but the problem is with the sms db not with ireal.

I use ireal, tried bite but like the idea of having a landscape keyboard, and the version of bite did not have one, so paid for ireal, and so far its working like a charm, especially with intelliscreen

Ok yipped, discovered that its cracked, the first time, I only saw the prices, and thought oh ok, same as app store, last night to make sure I scrolled down and saw "Cracked by", so my bad (although I did not post the link, I did endorse it)

only works for sms's that won't be marked as read for some reason, doesn't fix the negative read sms' issue, although, that bug was fixed in ireal some time ago at least

here's a question - if you restore your phone and upgrade it to new firmware, will you lose the license and have to buy it again?

you don't loose the license, you log on to their website and ask for the license to be re-sent
 
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post my question, but here goes:

I've had my iPhone for over a year and all of a sudden, when I dial a number, I hear nothing unless I turn my speaker option on (where it shows overimposed on the number pad). This basically disables my hands free dialing when I'm in the car and I've searched a variety of forums for a solution, the closest I've come is this:

*****
I think you need to run this

launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

then restart your iphone
*****

Question is a) will this solve my problem - does anybody here know? and b) how do I run that command? I haven't got the foggiest idea how to do it.

Thanks, guys

Weird..

Where did you find this solution?

I will try do some research on your problem, but if you want to try that in the meantime, See the "How to SSH over USB " here, and run the Putty instead of filebrowser in iPhoneTunnel Suite

When in Putty, type 'alpine' as the password (there will be no feedback as you type the password in Putty)

Then:

cd \ *enter*
launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist *enter*

Don't know what that does though to be honest.

Could you explain your problem a bit more please so I can understand it a bit more?
 
Man, I had the same kind of issue with my first iphone, there was no sound unless you enabled the speaker, but with me the freakin phone thought that the headphone was plugged in (it was not of course). Lucky for me the phone was 3 days old, so after a lot of threatening phone calls and emails to vodacom, I got a new one
 
HI can I setup a pppoe connection on the phone to connect to the internet on my router?

pppoe??

just connect to the router's wifi with the pone and then your phone uses the router's internet connection automatically

easier to just install command line from cydia and execute it directly on the phone
