Apple Marketing Senior Vice President, Philip Schiller has reportedly deleted his Instagram account post the developers came up with an Android application. However, according to a reply in an email from Philip, he clearly said that there are variety of reasons why he decided to quit using Instagram any further. One of them is the lack of small community which used to share their photographs on the servers. Due to which the user experience has been completely changed. It’s not the same that he had experience before.
Also, Philip Schiller added in the email that the sole reason is the signal to noise ratio lately. The whole of the debate started when @pschiller DM’d over twitter that Instagram “jumped the shark” when it went to Android. It clearly shows that Philip Schiller was not happy with the developers to pull an application for Android as well. Perhaps, he felt that it was not necessary at all when the application was doing exceptionally well on App Store. Many times, it had won the recognition of “app of the year”. [click to continue…]

If you were following the recent conversation of @i0n1c and @pod2g over twitter, you would realize that they had been fighting over the free JailBreak and the issue of earning money through donations. Anyways, all this began once Pod2G updated us on the recent situation of iOS 5.1 untethered JailBreak for all devices. It means that the new iPad which is based on A5X would get a JailBreak as well.
According to Pod2g, all those exploits which had been earlier found out by various hackers and iOS developers are ready for the new JailBreak. Currently, he is working on bypassing the ASLR at boot up. However, i01nc had previously demonstrated iOS 5.1 JailBreak in a video, but never made it public. Due to which he had to face many criticism on twitter and people even abused him for the same. [click to continue…]

Well, it was already expected that Max Payne Mobile would hit iOS devices on 12th of April followed by an Android version two weeks later. When it’s 12th April in most of the countries, the game had made its way onto the respective App Stores. At first, the game was released in New Zealand App Store and now, it’s available in majority of the countries including United States.
Max Payne Mobile is a shooter game which gained its popularity from the PC and gaming consoles. But it’s assumed that it would conquer the heart of many people the same way it did on other platforms on iOS devices as well. If we simply jump over to screenshot, we would realize that graphics looks really promising and attractive. Also, it supports the retina display iPad from the very first day of its release.

You must have surely played Max Payne on your PC/Mac or gaming consoles. Now, the Rockstar games have decided to extend the Max Payne series to mobile devices as well. The game would hit iOS devices on April 12th followed by Android devices on April 26th, according to a report from iLounge. Through the screenshots, the game on a mobile device looks promising and impressive.
Even though Rockstar games have brought their one of the most popular game called ‘Grand Theft Auto: China Wars’ on iOS & Android devices, it was not able to live up to the expectation of many people. The overall experience was merely different from PC/Mac and various consoles available in the market. Similar to other games on mobile platforms, players might need to use the virtual analog and three buttons to perform actions. [click to continue…]

If you are one those people who have accidentally updated their iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S on iOS 5.1, we now have a solution for you. Folks from our team have come up with a way to unlock your iPhone 4S/iPhone 4. Interestingly, you don’t need to have a Ultra Gevey or any sim interposer tool for the unlock process to proceed. We have worked really hard to explore the vulnerabilities on iPhone 4S and found out that it works on iPhone 4 as well. Special Thanks to the member of DevTeam, MuscleNerd who worked with us to make it fully functional.
 
This is the simplest unlock ever. After months of work, we have implemented this exploit completely. Although we unlocked our iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S on iOS 5.1 a while ago, but things were pretty much messed up for us. At first, the Wifi was temporary disabled and we faced problems in the signal reception. Due to which we had to reach to popular hackers like @pod2g, @MuscleNerd and @P0sixninja to sort out those issues. Fortunately, we have tested the method by ourselves and can assure you that no glitches exists whatsoever. [click to continue…]

There has always been rumors that the new iPad from Apple is experiencing some issues with Wifi signal reception. Recently, TabletPCReviews conducted a test where they figured out that the drop down in signals actually exists in iPad 3. According to them, they used a Cisco WRT310N 802.11a/b/g/n single wireless point for all of the iDevices. These iDevices constituted a new iPad, iPad first generation, iPhone 4S and an iPhone 3GS.
As you can see, it covers almost all of the devices from old to new. And the test were performed using the SpeedTest.app which can be installed from the App Store for free. Though the test was done on the same floor, the distance was incremented after each test to know the problems with Wifi reception. In addition to the distance, they had several walls in between the iDevice and the access point. However, two servers were used in the test. One belonged to Los Angeles which was 32 Miles and another one at Ft. Worth, Texas was 1,175 miles away. [click to continue…]

Attacher expands the capabilities and let you send or receive any type of file from your iOS device.
To send the file, you can choose the different options available once you have installed the tweak. They includes Dropbox, iFile or Teamviewer. If you select Dropbox from the list, you would be redirected to the native application in order to choose the file to be uploaded for sharing purpose. You can even send the voice memos and rename them from the device itself. Also, listen the voice memos before sending it over iMessage from the settings>Attacher. [click to continue…]

A lot of people had confusion about the way Apple devices are charged. Just to clear the air, Apple VP, Michael Tchao explained that the new iPad is charged the same way, other Apple devices does. And customers shouldn’t bother about the mechanism, according to a report from AllThingsD. Whatever the case is, you would get 10 hours of battery life in one single full charge. Earlier, there were misconceptions that the new iPad charges only 90% even if it says fully charged.
The way things works has been explained here. Whenever an iOS device is charged 100% and the device remains plugged in, it drain itself automatically by a minute percentage and then charges the battery again way back to full. This is why you need not to worry about any of the iOS device even if you have left it fully charged for hours. This phenomena doesn’t include only the new iPad. In fact, all of the previous devices such as iPhone, iPod touch or other iPads are based on it. Also, it doesn’t matter when you unplugged your device from the charger. [click to continue…]

When Apple launched iPhone 4 in US and other countries, there had been rumors of Antennagate. It means that when you hold an iPhone 4 in a certain way, the signals would start dropping down. Due to which Apple had to call a press conference where they told about the existence of this antenna gate in devices from other vendors as well and offered a Bumper/case to the concerned customers.
However, Apple figured out that they had been using a wrong algorithm to calculate their signals strength. Hence, they worked with carrier partners to improve on that front. But if you want to increase the accuracy further, you have to install a tweak from Cydia called ‘Bars’. Once you have installed the tweak, the signal bars would even show half of the bar if signal strength is present in decimals. According to the developer, the bars are calculated accurately without decoding what an RSS is. [click to continue…]
