Stuck/Frozen pixels on iPhones..

I’ve never encountered a stuck pixel before.  Not talking about dead pixels here – which are, well, dead, but stuck ones.  I noticed on my iPhone’s charge screen that one pixel was lit up green when it should’ve been black, from a bit of googling, green seems to be a common ’stuck’ colour, but theoretically [...]

Downgrading iPhone 3.0 firmware 7A341 back to 2.2.1..

If you’re like me and you fart about with things when you shouldn’t, then you may have upgraded your iPhone to the illicit Beta release of the 3.0 firmware.  The one I installed was the ‘Gold Master’ version (7A341), and it worked like a charm.  However, it occurred to me that iTunes might get the [...]

This site might be interesting for people who own iPhones or iPod touches.  You don’t even need to be able to speak Russian!

Jailbreaking 2.1 with Windows for impatient types..

I just followed these instructions and managed to upgrade my iPhone to the 2.1 firmware, and then jailbreak it again to be able to fart around with the themes and install third party applications – woohoo!  Impatient non-Mac users such as myself currently don’t have an easy application-driven solution for jailbreaking within Windows, you see.  [...]

Flickr me this, Flickr me that..

I’ve had a Flickr account for ages, but never really used it much; but noticed that I can upload pics to it easily on the go from my iPhone, and can install a handy block over there –> to display some recent ones, which is rather good.. I used to be a big user of [...]

Oooh, look what I can do now!

Okay, my earlier comments around the potential pointlessness of jailbreaking an iPhone are null and void after I discovered dTunes, an application which *ahem* allows you to locate music you already legally own and download it, there and then.  It can play it too, unfortunately the music isn’t available in your iPod functionality, but it’s [...]

iPhone 2.02 jailbreak and shenanigans..

I had a while back decided I wasn’t too arsed about jailbreaking my iPhone, but well, as I oft do with technology I got a little bored and decided to do it anyway, having discovered that you could do it with a tool called QuickPWN.  Instructions on doing it are understandably sketchy, as developers tend [...]

Useful!

I’ve got a couple of hours to kill, having dropped of my car at the garage; hmm, I think to myself, I don’t know Lenton very well, where’s the nearest greasy spoon to get me some breakfast?
iPhone to the rescue! Making use of the Vicinity application, I asked for a café near me, and [...]

Blogging on the go..

Thanks to a nifty iPhone plugin, I can now update my infrequently updated blog whereever I may be!
Utterly pointless, in my case, but still cool!!

iPhone jailbreaking and unlocking..

I’ve had a mentality change to technologies; using a pre-hosted blogging platform like WordPress was one of the starts of it – having an iPhone and not immediately trying to hack into it was another… I guess as I get older I’m happier having things that are ‘locked down’ to an extent, in favour of [...]
