The iPhone Tips/Tricks/Apps thread

I will help you with ringtones tommorrow as it's a little tricky, however , regarding SSH:

Very basically:

If an iPhone is SSH enabled, Using a program such as WinSCP or Putty for windows, you can log into your iPhone and view its hard disk's contents - transfer files, photos, get photos off the phone etc all by using your wireless connection in your home.

This is cool because:

a) No wires are necessary
b) The iPhone does not support disk mode without installing a 3rd party app

If you dont have wireless in your home its pretty much useless to you.

Thanks... I needed the BSD Subsystem first, 6.6MB download which takes time.

The ringtones... I have tried that renaming the file from within iTunes and then it's supposed to show up in your Ringtone Library. It doesn't work for me either on Mac or PC. I'd really appreciate that info, but in your own time.

The shop I work for, Cats Digital in Sandton finally took the hint and now sells iPhones ... they are more expensive than the net at R9000 ... but they come with some gold chip which sits under the sim card and apparently fully unlocks the phone ... not 100% sure though ...

its called a TurboSIM looks kinda like this http://img.hw.cz/s/SimToolkitovy-adapter-TurboSim/Turbo_sim1_300.jpg

Its used for iPhones that come with 1.1.2 OTB (iPhones that when you buy them, come wth 1.1.2) as that was the only way to unlock them.

Its not very convinent a you have to make a hole in your SIM for it to fit in the "chip" and go into your SIM compartment.

Therefore any SIM you would want to use in the phone, you would have to make a hole in it first.

However, a few days ago they figured out how to hardware unlock the 1.1.2 OTB. The word is that a software unlock will be released soon.

1.1.3 has also been jailbroken apparently , but will not be released until Feb.

Hide "Call forwarding active"

How to hide "Call forwarding active" message...

Well, some people get a "call forwarding active" message every time they do a call. I read a lot about this topic and there are also some threads about it in here.

To sum up:

* It's not a bug, it indicates that your calls are being forwarded either to your mailbox or an "caller unavailable" message by your provider.
* Some people made the message disappear by forwarding all calls to another number, and then enabling again (not sure if mailbox still works).
* Activating "call waiting" lets the message disappear (since incoming calls are not forwarded anymore).


However, there is a simple way to hide this message:

Get the file com.apple.carrier.plist found at /var/root/Library/Preferences/ and edit the key ShowCallForwarding to be <false/>. Reboot! There you go, your Mailbox works and you don't get that annoying message anymore

Update:

There are two settings in com.apple.carrier.plist:

ShowCallForwarding: Message shown on outgoing calls, if your number is beeing forwarded.
ShowCallForwarded: Message shown on incoming calls, if caller has been forwarded to you.

http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11641

I tried this and it works, wish I had done it earlier.

EDIT:

For 1.1.3...

Disable 'call-forwarding' popup on 1.1.3

Use SSH or iPhonebrowser and go to:
/var/mobile/Library/Carrier Bundle.bundle
or
/var/root/Library/Carrier Bundle.bundle

Get carrier.plist (& make a duplicate) and set file-permissions to read/write (via 'get info' on mac)
Use http://140.124.181.188/~khchung/cgi-bin/plutil.cgi to convert the plist.

Then open with text-editor and find:

<key>ShowCallForwarded</key>
<true/>
<key>ShowCallForwarding</key>
<true/>

Rename to:

<key>ShowCallForwarded</key>
<false/>
<key>ShowCallForwarding</key>
<false/>

Now close, save and put it back on phone..

-Reboot phone

btw im in paris and they selling legally unlocked iphones for €750 thta means you can uprgade to latest updates without the phone locking again

 

[fxit_man]

thanks sufferwell!!

thats been irritating me for aaages!

 

[fxit_man]

Just wanted to let you guys know you can now upgrade your iPhone to 1.1.3!!

I just did this and it took me roughly 40 mins to an hour to do!

Even updated the baseband! For those of you that dont know what that is - I can now use the google locate me feature in google maps without any problems (unlike other 1.1.3 upgrade methods)

I used this method - http://modmyifone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30019

Please, AFAIK this method will NOT WORK for 1.1.2 OTB or 1.1.3 OTB phones. Only use this if your phone came with 1.1.1 or LOWER. [ BL 3.9 or OTB 1.1.1 and below.]

If you are at 1.1.2 already jailbroken + unlocked (which i assume most of you are) start from step 5. This is what i did.

I encountered 0 problems along the way - if you come accross any problems (which i hope you dont), post them here and i'll try to help you to as much as my knowledge extends.

Good luck guys!

Just a side note - it is now possible to unlock 1.1.2 OTB AND 1.1.2 OTB iPhones using geohots method. I doubt any of you have one of these but if you dont already know about this and would like the link for how to do this, gimme a shout here.

 

[broken1]

Yup, I also have the 1.1.3 firmware now. I encountered some problems upgrading to 1.1.2. Fixed them by restoring to 1.1.1 and starting again! All working nicely now!

Doesnt work after you upgrade your baseband on 1.1.3 to 4.03 though (yet)

Would be great if we could receive as well one day..
