getting there, it's the ipcc that's built in to the 3.1 beta 2 firmware, and there's no jailbreak yet, so can't get to it, would like to do some comparing myself for that matter :)

but we working on it, there's apparently a way to get to it without jailbreak, will keep you in the loop, i'm on 3.0, would also like to just get that ipcc and upload to my phone

Awesome!! Gonna be keeping an eye out for that ipcc :D

I think this is probably covered either here or somewhere else, just struggling to come up with a sensible search phrase...

I have downloaded some apps ...erm - 'outside' of iTunes - some of them have not only the .ipa but other folders and album art etc.

What is the method for adding these particular apps to iTunes?

I havent tried limnos way yet (would have made my life much easier!)
What i have done:
Inside Payload folder, is a folder appname.app, i just copied that into the same folder as all my other apps on the phone, and reboot the phone.

But i think limnos' method is better if it will work on a windows machine for you

Yeah.. I think a restore + redsnow is in order.. Will manually backup my data as well instead of iTunes.

Battery life is terrible.. Have never had problems before this.. Charge it full in the morning, by afternoon its flat.. Only made a few short calls..

So you not using Cydia now?

just installing the new redsn0w should solve some battery issues, try that before restore

Not so funny when you cannot find your answer now is it :rolleyes:
 
To solve the battery life problem:

Can I use the same firmware I used to update my software? (Downloaded from iClarified)?

And install the firmware again + jailbreak without installing cydia?

And I should not restore the phone and rather start from scratch as a new phone?

usually better this way yes, I'd recommend doing this if you're not bothered about loosing your sms history, saved games etc...
 
can't believe i'm doing this, but i'm installing winterboard....

and all because i saw how cool the transparent icons looked on top of a background that sits behind the icons :(
 
Update on my battery life :D..

Finished the brothers in arms demo, fast & furious demo, surfed the net, mail yesterday and must still reach 20% on the same charge I posted earlier :D

Finally got my battery life back :D

I decided to use my windows PC instead of Mac, got redsn0w v0.8, unchecked cydia, restored without a backup, turned off push and location services and my battery has only dropped by 10% since yesterday.
:D
Click to expand...

Just tried to Jailbreak using redsn0w 0.8 and it kept on crashing :eek:while the phone reboots after the initial startup.

I have windows XP SP3 etc. 0.72 works fine but I cannot get 0.8 redsn0w to work. any advice guys?
 
I had the weirdest problem today, about 10 apps on my phone refuse to open, as I open them the splash screen show for about 2 seconds and the app closes straight away.

Online resources say reinstall the app, but I mean 10 apps for this to happen to?? WTF?

I have restarted my phone about 3 times and no luck. Anyone seen this before?
