Enable Face Time Over 3G on iOS 5 Hidden Feature [How To]

I know you probably find a bit disappointing that Apple didn’t released a few promised features along side iOS 5. On the other hand although some of the features haven’t been released by Apple with iOS 5, others were well hidden and just waiting to be discovered. Enable Face Time over 3G on iOS 5 is one of them.

Well Apple went to all this trouble to hide those features because it is easier for them to disable certain features rather than entirely write them out. Thus while the features are well hidden in the iOS, Apple solves the main issues and then quietly removes them when the time is right.

There is also a downside of

this. You need to jailbreak iOS 5 in order to enable Face Time over 3G and since there is no jailbreak available for iPhone 4S or iPad 2 at the moment this feature is restricted to iPhone 4 only.

Follow the simple step by step instructions set below in order to enable Face Time over 3G on iOS 5:

Step 1: Install iFile from Cydia

Step 2: Browse to  /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app/

Step 3: Now open N90AP.plist and underneath as shown below enter

3Gvenice

Step 4: Congratulations. Now you can use Face Time over 3G on iOS 5 without any other third party applications.

How To Enable AutoCorrect Keyboard Bar for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch on iOS 5

In this article i will present you some simple step by step instructions about how to enable AutoCorrect Keyboard Bar on iOS 5 for your iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPad1, iPad 2 and iPod Touch. Autocorrect Keyboard Bar is a new hidden feature discovered in iOS 5 which as its name suggests activates a bar on top of your keyboard. This bar reveals you the autocorrected options based on all the letters that you’ve entered and which you can insert into the text body with a simple tap.

AutoCorrect Keyboard Bar was brought to all of us by Sonny Dickson, iOS developer and hacker, as a news post published on his blog where he discusses about it and presents some simple step by step instructions about how to enable it.

Connect your iDevice to your PC/Mac via a micro USB-cable and start iTunes if it doesn’t start automatically.Make a backup of your iDevice.Download iBackupBot which is available for both Windows/Mac versions. Install and run the program. At this time the backup that you’ve made earlier should be prompted, just load the backup.Open the file from Library/Preferences/com.apple.keyboard.plist, IBackupBot will be most likely unregistered therefore click Cancel and then add the following code to the file: KeyboardAutocorrectionListsYESSave the file. Now you need to restore the modified backup edited by you. Just right click on the sidebar in iTunes and hit Restore.

At this time your iDevice should now restart and if you’ve followed the steps correctly AuroCorrect Keyboard Bar should now be enabled. Congratulations.

Also take notice that AutoCorrect Keyboard Bar on iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch doesn’t require jailbreak at all, so just enjoy it.

I can confirm that this method works as i tested it on my brand new iPhone 4S, let me know how it works on your iDevice or if you have encountered any issues or problems.

Contact Bug Issue for iPhone 4S on iOS 5.0.1 Fix [How-To]

Increasingly more users reported that their brand new iPhone 4S failed to recognize contacts. According to Paul Hontz from The Startup Foundry this issue could be happening because of a contact bug on iOS 5.0.1 for all iPhone 4S users.

It seems that the bugs with the just released iOS 5 and its update iOS 5.0.1 are more than we would have expected. First it was the battery drain problems and now the contact bug issue for iPhone 4S on iOS 5.0.1. What should we expect next?

Contact bug issue for iPhone 4S on iOS 5.0.1 works like this: when you receive a text message the iPhone doesn’t show the contact’s name even though it appears in your contact’s list. More than that when you receive another text from the same contact, the iPhone begins a new thread. Leave us a comment if you’ve experiencing the same problems,

or if you’ve found other bugs in iOS 5 / 5.0.1.

Take notice that this contact bug happens only to those on the Verizon network that own an iPhone 4S running on iOS 5.0.1.

If you have encountered any of the issues above follow the simple step by step instructions below and this should help your problem:

Step 1: Dial *228 (Verizon Support Number)

Step 2: Tap 1 in order to “Program or Activate”

Step 3: After the call ends, hit your Home Button twice to open the task manager

Step 4: Close the following apps: Message, Phone and Contacts

Step 5: Wait 5 minutes and check your Message app. Your iPhone should work properly now.

If it still doesn’t work try Step 2 again, but this time press tap “2? on your iPhone, some users reported to have better results. If it still doesn’t work just try a restore from a previous backup. Hopefully the next iOS update will also bring a fix for all this issues.

Jailbreak iOS 5 / 5.0 With Redsnow on iPhone 4 3GS iPad & iPod Touch

Apple has brought a lot of improvements in their latest iOS release, actually, it is said that the release of iOS 5 was the most successful iOS release of all times. Many have been worried that the jailbreak for iOS 5.0 will be delayed by new Apple security patches but it looks like the iPhone Dev Team did it again. We were able to jailbreak iOS 5 just minutes after the official release, and we have MuscleNerd and the rest of the iPhone Dev Team to thank for this.

The latest Redsnow version allows us to jailbreak iOS 5, in a tethered state for now, on all iDevices except iPad 2 and iPhone 4S with just a few clicks, and it also allows baseband preservation for unlockers, which makes it the ultimate tool to jailbreak iOS 5.

Here’s a list of the iDevices on which you can jailbreak iOS 5:

iPhone 4, iPhone 3GSiPad 1iPod Touch 4G, iPod Touch 3G

This is a tethered jailbreak for iOS 5 and this means that you’ll have to boot in a jailbroken state every time you reboot your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, however a new Cydia tweak called semi-tether jailbreak for iOS 5 will allow you to use your iDevice if you accidentally reboot it and you don’t have access to a PC / Mac immediately.

NOTE: If you are an unlocker you must stay away from stock iOS 5 and skip the first part of this tutorial straight to the “For Unlockers” part below

You can follow one of the tutorials below to jailbreak iOS 5 on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad or iPod Touch 3G, 4G using the latest version of Redsnow.

Update your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to iOS 5 using iTunesDownload the latest Redsnow to jailbreak iOS 5 from the download links belowRun Redsnow and select “Jailbreak”Check the “Install Cydia” box and then follow the instructions to enter DFU modeWait for Redsnow to finish jailbreaking iOS 5 on your device, and when it restarts you can proceed booting in a jailbroken state.Once your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch restarts, start Redsnow again and then click on “Extras”Check the “Just Boot” option and follow the instructions again to enter DFU mode.

That’s it, you have successfully managed to jailbreak iOS 5 on your iDevice, just remember that you have to redo steps 6 and 7 each time you reboot as the jailbroken state will disappear. Until the untethered jailbreak iOS 5 will be released this is the only working jailbreak and it will have to do.

FOR UNLOCKERS

If you are unlocker you need to stay away from the jailbreak iOS 5 tutorial above and stock iOS 5 and cook a custom IPSW file already jailbroken that will preserve your old baseband and make unlocking with Ultrasnow and Gevey SIM possible.

Follow the tutorial below to jailbreak iOS 5 on iPhone 4, 3GS and preserve the old baseband

Download the latest redsnow to jailbreak iOS 5 from the links belowDownload iOS 5.0 from the links belowStart Redsnow and select “Extras” and then “Custom IPSW”Wait for Redsnow to jailbreak iOS 5 and create the custom IPSW fileGo back to “Extras” and then select “Pwned DFU”Restore the custom IPSW file created with Redsnow to your iPhone 4, 3GS using iTunes

Jailbreak iOS 5 Untethered Coming Soon | Chronic Dev Team Finds Bug in iOS 5

Chronic Dev Team member pod2g announced via Twitter that he found a bug exploit that could lead to jailbreak iOS 5 untethered release in the near future. He promised to focus entirely on bringing untethered jailbreak iOS 5 to iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch as soon as possible.

For the moment we don’t know further details about the possible bug in iOS 5 that could lead to jailbreak iOS 5 untethered, but chances are that it could be an userland exploit like the one’s that p0sixninja revealed at MyGreatFest event held this year. If so, it will be some really great news because the userland exploits would be available for all iOS devices, which means that both iPhone 4S and iPad 2 will be getting the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.

However on the

other hand the userland exploits have its disadvantages. The most important one is that an userland exploit can be easily fixed with an iOS update, unlike bootrom exploits which can only be patched with a hardware revision.

At the moment jailbreak iOS 5 is available only in tethered mode, which for those of you who don’t already know means that you need to boot into the tethered state every time your iDevice runs out of power. iOS 5 / 5.0 can be jailbroken at the moment with Redsnow 0.9.9b8 and Snowbreeze 2.8b9, the latest and most popular jailbreaking tools available.

Siri for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS is Available

Everybody knows what Siri is, and especially if Siri for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS is available. Well, Siri was successfully ported on iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, even on iPod Touch 4G, and all this is possible thanks to the great work of developers from the jailbreak scene.

We have people like “chpwn” and “Steve Troughton-Smith” to thank to for Siri for iPhone 4 and Siri for iPhone 3GS, but we are now at the mercy of the rest of the developers to find a way to extract all the Siri files from the iPhone 4S IPSW file so that they can be successfully transported to the iPhone 4 and 3GS and all the rest of the iDevices that support iOS 5.

You see, Siri was made available only for iPhone 4S by Apple, as a marketing strategy, and distributing the Siri files from the iPhone 4S over the internet is piracy. Everybody knows, or at least everybody, that the developers of the iPhone Dev Team and Chronic Dev team are law abiding citizens, and will never promote or endorse piracy, and that;s why they have to

find a way to extract the files straight from the IPSW file, because then everybody would be able to access them just by downloading the file from the Apple servers.

Siri for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS is already available, but only if you already own an iPhone 4S so that you can transfer the files from one device to another. And what good would that do to you if you already own an iPhone 4S?

Take a look at the videos below to see Siri working on iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS:

Siri for iPhone 4

Siri for iPhone 3GS  

As you can see, we already have Siri for iPhone 4 and 3GS, we just need a way to extract the files, which is already a work in progress for all the jailbreakers out there.

I’d recommend you to bookmark this page, as it will be updated as soon as Siri can be installed on iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS by everybody.
