GeoHot Ready To Release iPhone 4 Jailbreak?

A very curious post on Twitter is causing some people to believe that a jailbreak release is imminent from Geohot. The move would be quite surprising if made since recently Geohot's alleged and self-proclaimed "retirement" from the jailbreak community - a move where we saw Geohot cancels his Twitter account, set his blog to private, and assign good friend Mike Cohenn as his proxy, nothing all future messages would come through Mike.

Today a message from Mike was received and it has the jailbreak community at the tip of their seats. The message specifically said: What's a good time to make it ra1n? It could easily be misinterpreted but Cohenn's relationship with Geohot is solid and it stands to reason that the jailbreak master may have simply thrown everyone off his scent to toil in private for the last few days of the jailbreak release preparation. Of course, this is entirely speculation but if advised by Geohot to follow Cohenn for the latest jailbreak update, then maybe this tweet is both meaningful and newsworthy.

As with much of these news about jailbreaking and unlocking, time will only tell what (if anything) this tweet may actually mean. But in the mean time, keep your eye on Geohot's proxy today and as always you can stay tuned for more news and info on the topic by following us on Twitter and/or subscribing to our RSS feed. The question as to "What's a good time to make it ra1n?" may possibly be answered soon by none other than Geohot itself.

Handy Light - Flashlight App Sneaks Tethering To Apple's iPhone 4

Recently an app called Handy Light was found on the app store and it looked like an ordinary flashlight app for the iPhone. In reality, it was hiding a tethering feature using the SOCKS proxy. The app which was only 99 cents was only in the App Store for a short amount of time and was pulled by Apple. Many users have tried the tethering feature and mentioned that it works well. If you were one of the many users who managed to download the app before it was pulled and are unsure of how to get the tethering feature to work, check out our instructions below:

1. Set up an ad hoc Wi-Fi network on your computer (network name and password requirement are not needed).
2. Connect to the Wi-Fi network you just created on your iPhone through the Settings/Wi-Fi menu.
3. Tap on the blue arrow to the right of the selected Wi-Fi network, click Static in the IP Address menu and enter the following IP address (you can laugh at the irony): 13.37.13.37
4. Next, enter 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask field.
5. Back out of the Settings menu to ensure these settings are saved.
6. Go to your Mac or PC and change the network settings to use the SOCKS Proxy and enter 13.37.13.37 as the Socks Proxy Server address and 1337 as the port. On our Mac laptop, this is what the resulting screen looks like:
7. Be sure to apply/save these settings.
8. Go back to your iPhone and open the Handy Light app and tap the flashlight colors at the bottom in the following sequence: blue, yellow, red. Then tap the top right corner of the screen and the color should change to purple. Your iPhone is now capable of sharing its internet connection with the computer you set up.
9. Leave the app open and go to your computer and start browsing. As the video describes, we found that it took a few seconds for the connection to kick in but then it worked like a charm. Though many variables affect network speed tests, a quick test using Speedtest.net yielded 3.92 Mb/s down and 0.38 Mb/s up while tethered to our iPhone 4 through Handy Light.

Check out the video of the app in action below:

How Does Apple's "Free Bumper" Offer Effect iPhone Case Market

As announced, Apple will be launching their free cases program at the end of this week, and its already affecting different iPhone case manufactures. Some companies most likely figure that many people will be swayed to Apple's free bumper, as after all the case works well to solve the antenna issues and comes in a few stylish colors. Perhaps the most obvious and important reason is because of the price, FREE. Apple's giving all iPhone 4 users the ability to get a Bumper for free, so why would anyone pay $29-49 for a case from a different manufacturer?

Incipio is already realizing this so they're running the "We love our customers too" campaign. This promotion lets users obtain their free Bumper from Apple, then send it in to Incipio for 5 bucks off one of their premium-quality cases. Incipio figures that a $5 incentive will be good enough to keep themselves in race, and honestly their campaign is quite clever. The catch is they'll only be accepting 2 trade-ins per households, and that's U.S only. The big question though is, what's Incipio planning on doing with all those bumpers cases?

Also, other case manufacturers like Zagg InvisbleSHIELD without wasting any time, have already started promoting their cases with a study that shows that their bumper cases can resolve the iPhone4's antenna issue.

Samsung Working On “Unbreakable” AMOLED Displays

As you may already know Samsung Super AMOLED displays are getting pretty popular despite the iPhone 4 using a different screen technology. The manufacturer is already running low on supplies and furthermore they are working on new technology which will probably be higher in demand than the current scarce supplies. Samsung is reportedly working on an unbreakable Samsung AMOLED display. OLED-Display.net is reporting that within the next two years, Samsung is aiming to have ultra-rugged, unbreakable smartphone screens available to OEMs. The report doesn't detail whether he digitzer will be included on this specific AMOLED display (the digitizer is what registers touch input and is what makes Super AMOLED displays "super") but if we to guess, it probably won't be. If you don't want to take anyone's word for whether something like this exists or if it can be made, you don't have to. Check the video below to see what happens when a a prototype of this flexible, bendable, very hard to break AMOLED display is hit by a hammer. (SPOILER: It doesn't break).

Defective Screen Issues Found In Droid X Handsets

Looks like the iPhone 4 isn't the only smartphone on the block having issues. The Motorola Droid X adopters are documenting serious graphical and/or electrical problems with the handsets large screen. As of right now, we don't know how many users are being effected, symptoms include rapid flickering and vertical banding over all of the 4.3 inch LCD. Forums for many different sites have users claiming that they have already had their phones replaced and in some cases claimed that the defect was a common problem found in launch day batches. Verizon hasn't responded to the situation yet but hopefully they will soon. In the meantime, check out the flickering and symptoms for the issue below to see if you have experienced anything similar.

Antenna-aid; A Solution To Apple's iPhone 4 Antenna Boo-Boo

As many of us await the free bumpers and cases that Steve Jobs promised us, other companies are looking to take advantage of the situation. A new product has risen, dubbed Antenna-aid and you guessed it, its a band-aid for your iPhone 4 that claims to help prevent signal loss. Much like Consumer Report's suggestion of just using a piece of tape, this is a somewhat innovative idea that tries to get a laugh out of the situation. You can get different colors and you pay $4.99 for 6 band-aids. It isn't free like the bumpers and other cases promised by Jobs but you don't have to wait. Many people have been hopping the bandwagon for the product as well. As for us, we think we'll be waiting for the cases. What do you guys think? Drop us a comment with your opinion.

Adobe's FlashTime Allows Peer-To-Peer Video Calls On Android

Despite Apple's attempt to hinder Adobe, the company is still out and about - this time they released a little demo software of FlashTime, which allows peer-to-peer calls on the Android platform. Built using the upcoming Air 2.5, this peer-to-peer video chat client uses your smartphone's camera to get direct visual communication going with your fellow Android fan. Android users already have other options, such as Fring, to do the same exact thing but the main point is that you can do just about anything with Flash and since it's Flash, it is easy to port around to other platforms. Adobe's Mark Doherty did mention that there are no plans to release the client just yet and that the name "FlashTime" is just a placeholder for now. If we didn't know any better, we'd say they are jabbing at Apple's FaceTime feature, flaunting that the very same Flash software that Jobs said is going to get outdated soon can handle the same features that Apple has been boasting about. Check out the FlashTime demo below:

Apple Pulls Bumper Cases Off The Shelves; Pending Giveaway

As announced on Friday, Apple is planning to provide free iPhone 4 cases (bumper cases and other models yet to be announced) to all the folks who purchased iPhone 4 and future customers, from now through September 30, 2010. Also, anyone who bought a Bumper already is due to get a refund.

Apple has since removed the bumper cases from the store shelves and the online store to prevent people from paying for something they are entitled to get for free. Multiple sources have reported that the online Apple Store had dropped the Bumpers to a price of $0 and marked them out of stock, and both Different District and iLounge are noting the absence of Bumpers from the retail stores as well.

No details yet on the refund/application setup for free cases, but it's expected that Apple will post instructions on apple.com later this week.

HTC Droid Incredible To Get Android 2.2 Froyo Update Soon

We just recently received a tip about the HTC Droid Incredible software update that many users are probably waiting to hear about. An email from HTC sent in as a tip mentioned the following information:

I wanted to pass along that the upcoming Incredible MR will also include Froyo (originally it was going to be two separate MRs).

We are targeting the end of the month/first part of August. As a reminder, below are the highlights:

• Froyo


• 802.11 n


• 3G Mobile Hot Spot


• HTC Widget: Email


• HTC Widget: News


• EAS Updates


• 720p Video Recording


• Amazon MP3


• Skype


• My Verizon

The email confirms the much anticipated Incredible update that began rolling out this weekend will most likely be stopped and a much better and improved Froyo-inclusive update will be pushed out in the coming weeks. The update will also include 802.11n Wi-Fi support, 3G Mobile Hot Spot, 720p recording, and more. All pretty good new for Incredible owners. How do you feel about th delayed update? Is Android 2.2 worth the few weeks of waiting? Let us know in the comments below.

Morotola Droid X Privacy Issues Emerge

If you are one of the people who bought the new Motorola DROID X you bought one rock solid handset but we've been informed of a privacy flaw that the phone has. The Motorola DROID X will actually show text message and call history logs, even if you have deleted these items from the phone, via its contacts history function. It is never a good thing to find out that your new gadget has a vicious security hole revealing some potentially embarassing or confidential material that you would rather keep from others. All you have to do is scroll over to contact history in the contacts app and you'll find the deleted information there. The issue disappears after an entier phone wipe but its still disconcerting that any threaded text message conversation or recent calls will still show up after deletion.

You can check out a quick run through in the video below. After placing a call to Verizon to investigate further the company mentioned that they are aware of and are working on the fix. They did mention that this is visible on other Motorola handsets and it looks like it's tied to the Motorola BLUR's interface.

If you are one of the unfortunate victims of this security hole whether it is a DROID X phone or a different Android model, tell us about your experience below.

Alternate Method To Unlock iPhone 4 With UltraSn0w Revealed

The iPhone 4 has been unlocked with UltraSn0w yet again using another method out of the three ways the iPhone Dev Team has to implement the iPhone 4 unlock exploit. MuscleNerd has shared an unlocked iPhone 4 screenshot. Previously, Planetbeing succeeded in implementing the first way of the unlock.

Zagg's InvisibleSHIELD Cases Seem To Fix iPhone 4's Antenna Issue

As we are all aware of the iPhone 4's antenna issue, and the fix recommended by Steve Job's himself is to put bumpers/cases to resolve the issue. Folks over at ZAGG stated - that they have conducted extensive testing to determine if our products can help this problem, including internal tests, independent lab tests, and research with consumers in the wireless industry.

The test is clear in the video - "Packets go all over the place" when they don't cover up the antenna spot, then stop entirely when they do. Packets resume going "all over the place" once they release the spot. When the invisibleSHIELD is applied, one can touch the questionable antenna area all they want, but transmission seems to be unaffected.

Of course, you can wait for Apple to setup and start giving out free bumpers/cases or you can get a side-only version of the invisibleSHIELD for just $10, which is a pretty decent solution to the antenna issue, seeing as the shield is clear and fairly unobtrusive. A full front and back solution will cost you $25. Or, you can get a vinyl one with designs on it. [Zagg]

Let us know which bumper/case you pick out and your experience with it of course in the comments below.

White iPhone 4 Delayed - Glass Supplier To Blame

It's been a roller-coaster ride with the iPhone 4 over the last 3 weeks since it's release. While most of us are still happy to hear about Steve Job's freebies that are soon to be handed out, theres one question that is still bugging some people out there: What's taking so long with the white iPhone 4? Apple has promised us an "end of July" delivery for its latest iDevice but it has yet to specify exactly what the manufacturing difficulty is. According to 21st Century Business Herald, a Chinese newspaper, the problems all stem from a Chinese factory by the name of Lens Technology, which is apparently responsible for transforming fine raw glass into the majority of the iPhone glass panels that are currently out there (no mention of Corning here either).

A rather boring and bland name for a glass manufacturer - Lens Technology isn't exactly a household name to the average gadget consumer. It is the manufacturing company that many top brands such as Huawei, Lenovo, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, and many more have been going to since it's launch in July 1993. The company's set up sever plants all over China and most recently in Liuyang, Hunan that currently houses about 14,000 workers. Although it's still merely a faction of Foxconn's 400,000 employees in Shenzen, Lens' recent intake of about 7,000 "post-90s" workers led to many disciplinary issues. Although this still wasn't the reason for the white iPhone 4 delay.

According to a Len project feasibility report published in 2006, the glass manufacturing process involves the following steps: developing the tooling, cutting the raw material, fine milling using computed numerically controlled machines, sanding the edges, polishing, strengthening, cleaning, coating, screen printing, baking, anti-shatter treatment, assembling, and packaging. A pretty tedious process as you can see. A worker from the Lens' quality control department has allegedly admitted that the company's screen-printing workshop may currently be dealing with some issues with the white iPhone 4 covers. More specifically the factory's still working out the perfect combination of paint thickness and opacity. The prototype white covers acquired previously appeared a bit darker than the iPhone 4 dock, so the company is trying to find a better result for when the white iPhone 4 comes out later this month.

If Apple does somehow manage to deliver the new batch of phones by the promised date, can they meet the potential demand for the product? According to industry sources, Lens' current production capacity only meets half of Apple's demand, thus becoming a major bottleneck for the entire iPhone 4 production pipeline. This could all be trash-talking from competitors who are envying Apple's product success and there is a small chance that other components might be affected as well, but the truth is the handset's currently in short supply. After 3 million units since launch, Apple's online store is still listing a 3-week shipping date for the original (black) iPhone 4. Considering each CNC machine could apparently only cut out three iPhone 4 glass covers eery hour, Lens will need to get its act together on the paint job and use as many machines as possible along with skilled operators to make not only Apple happy but also all the fanboys the company has accumulated.

[How To] Activate iPhone Without the Original SIM Card (iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G)

A less popular but long-time hacker, Sherif Hashim has posted a video in which he demonstrates how simple it is to activate the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G without using the original SIM card. You can literally use any SIM card you want, however you should keep in mind that iPhone 4 users will be required to cut the SIM into a micro-SIM size. Before you get all excited, you should know that this DOES NOT mean that your phone will be unlocked. This simply activates the iPhone, meaning that you can get past one of the biggest pains you first have to through when getting an iPhone: Hacktivating it, otherwise you're stuck on the emergency screen until you do so. The best part is there is no programming needed, so almost anyone can do this without the technical knowledge that one might think it would require. Here is what Sherif has to say:

instead of telling everyone who hasn't got the original sim that activation of the iphone is easy using a phonebook sim card, i made this video to show u all how it works , Use any phonebook sim card, they are there in radioshack, mobile phone shops or any mobile tech moles , any phone book simcard will do the trick, no need for programmable sims, all those phonebook sims used to save ur contacts and transfer them have a universal ICCIDs preprogrammed so they all work

Follow the video and try it out yourself and let us know how it works out for you:

To all those asking, I use this one Phone book Test card from DITS - Cdma Gsm Forum Mygsmindia. Yet, I used three other types and all work the same

Sherif Hasim is the same guy who found the exploit to unlock 05.12.01 / 05.13.04 baseband on iPhone running iOS 4, so you can imagine what is else is coming soon!

Video Chat App “iChatr” Yanked From App Store Due To Inappropriate Use

Well, we all knew it was a matter of time before it happened and it finally did. The famous Chatroulette-like app, iChatr has been removed from the App Store by Apple because people were apparently inappropriately exposing themselves. Apple's app aproval team somehow forgot about it when it took Apple a gruesome 8 days to take it off the App Store. Ironically, its not like they didn't know about it with all the press coverage it got.

The folks over at 148Apps received an official statement from the developers, heres what it said:

"The iChatr application has currently been removed from the App Store due to reports of a number of users exposing themselves during the random video chat sessions. We are currently discussing possible solutions to the problem with Apple."

It's honestly not a surprise at all that people were pulling the usual Chatroulette style chats but we can imagine how much worse it might be with the portability of the iPhone 4 *shudders* What is surprising was the fact that Apple approved the app in the first place. It feels that Apple didn't realize the concept as the review team didn't have much time to chat using the program. If you want to give your front-facing camera a go, don't forget you can do so by calling 1-888-FACETIME.

Firefox Home Now Availble For iOS

Firefox Home is now available for iOS. It isn't a full-featured web browser in its own right but the app is probably as close as we're going to get to running Firefox on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPod. The app is pretty strange so lets take a look at what it is supposed to do. According to Mozilla's description page, "Firefox Home provides access to your Firefox desktop history, bookmarks and open tabs on your iPhone." So basically, all FIrefox data on your Mac or PC transfers to the cloud and gets synced to Firefox Home or at least after you download and install the Firefox Sync add-on, restart-Firefox, set up a Firefox Sync account, and then log in. Although it isn't too complicated it doesn't have the one-click simplicity Safar on the Mac with Safari in iOS.You may wonder if all of this is worth the bother.

Unlike Opera Mini or Mobile Safari, Firefox Home is NOT a standalone browser. You can navigate through bookmarks and opened tabs imported from your main compter. You can search your items in history, tabs, or bookmarks. Once you are on a webpage you can perform all of the usual functions such as scrolling, zooming, clicking links, moving back and forward in history, emailing and copying links, all of which you can perform in almost any other app's in store app web browser. That's really it. There's no URL field, which makes normal web browsing impossible to do .There also isn't any way to open "tabs" like Mobile Safari and no way to edit bookmarks. The sync also seems to be one way as no browsing on the iPhone showed up in the history of the Firefox used at the computer.

Although there is no doubt that Mozilla would create an amazing mobile version of Firefox for the iPhone, but it isn't allowed to do so since Apple won't allow third-party users not based around in WebKit. If you are an avid Firefox user on your main computer and have several tabs open at once and hundreds of bookmarks saved, then this application is probably worth your time, if not, you probably want to pass for something else or stick to Safari. Firefox Home was a better browsing experience than Opera Mini was s well. Have you tried out Firefox Home? If soo, share your experience below.

iOS 4.1 On The Horizon; Dev’s Recommend Backing Up SHSH Blobs

Apple seeded iOS 4.1 and SDK 4.1 beta to the developers yesterday. With this upcoming release of the iOS 4.1 - a recent tweet from @planetbeing stresses the importance to back up your SHSH Blobs before updating to the new 4.1 firmware.

Saving your SHSH Blobs using TinyUmbrella is very easy, and takes hardly any time at all. One of the advantages of using TinyUmbrella to save your SHSH is that it bypasses the need for a jailbroken device. Also, when downgrading a device, TinyUmbrella sets up its own virtual server on your machine, and tells iTunes to connect to it via your hosts file. All this is automated and separate from the Cydia server, making it a lot simpler to downgrade. Because your SHSH files are saved locally, you may also back them up yourself, as oppose to them being stored on a server somewhere where you can't access them.

TinyUmbrella can be downloaded from here.

And, as usual if you are looking to stay up to date with any news and info about jailbreaking and unlocking your iPhone 4 stay tuned by following us on Twitter and/or subscribing to our RSS feeds.

Consumer Reports iPhone 4 Reception Problem Study Is Flawed

As many of you may already know, Consumer Reports, a popular product review and comparison organization recently announced that it can't recommend the iPhone 4 due to its widely publicized reception problems. The whole situation is turning out to be a PR nightmare for Apple as mainstream media also have picked up the story. As of right now, rumors are floating and PR experts believe that Apple will have to recall the iPhone 4 due to the problems. Bob Egan, an electromagnetic engineer who has experience in exactly the kind of issues Apple is currently facing with the iPhone 4 is claiming that Consumer Reports has conducted a flawed experiment. Egan explains:

"To even reasonably run a scientific test, the iPhone should have been sitting on a non-metallic pedestal inside an anechoic chamber. The base station simulator should have been also sitting outside the chamber and had a calibrated antenna plumbed to it from inside the chamber.

I have not seen CR’s claim directly that the finger effect reduces the iPhones sensitivity by 20db as reported elsewhere, but unless CR connected to a functional point inside the iPhone that number is fantasy.”

He also pointed out that the assumption made by Consumer Reports to test the change “by varying the base station simulator levels by varying the base station simulator levels – seems to assume the iPhone receiver and/or transmitter operate in a linear fashion (the same way) across all signal strengths," which is is a bad assumption.

Bottom line. From what I can see in the reports, Consumer Reports replicated the same uncontrolled, unscientific experiments that many of the blogging sites have done.

Adding:

I’m not saying that Apple has no h/w problem and they surely have a s/w issue. But I’m still wondering that if the software signal algorithm was not AFU’d in the first place how many, if anyone would talking about this “problem”

Apple released a public statement two weeks ago stating that the signal strength bars were being displayed incorrectly and that they plan to fix the issue with a software update that will provide users with a much more accurate indication of reception in a given area. Egan notes that it isn't known "what part of this problem is Apple's and what part is related to the AT&T network." Looks like we will all find out soon enough when Apple releases the iPhone software update for the iPhone 4 which will correctly display the signal strength. Do you think the issues are getting blown out of proportion? What is your take on the whole situation? Drop us a comment below.

iPhone Dev Team Member Planetbeing Shows Off iPhone 4 Carrier Unlock

Planetbeing of the iPhone Dev Team has just tweeted a video where he explains the current state of unlocking and jailbreaking the iPhone 4. In the video, he shows off his iPhone 4 which is unlocked and proves to the audience it is unlocked by showing off the Rogers (Canadian wireless phone company) symbol on the iPhone 4 itself as well as by dialing 611 and putting the call on speaker, at which point a Rogers automated message goes off. He continues on to explain that the current unlocking method "sucks," is very sloppy, and takes five minutes to fully run through. The plans are to go back and clean it up a little so it is much more efficient at accomplishing its goal, the unlock the iPhone 4. Planetbeing then moves on to discuss how Apple has made specific countermeasures to prevent jailbreaking and unlocking the way it has been done in the past. This time around, the iPhone Dev Team has thought of several different ways to accomplish the goal and they have only successfully done it using one of these ideas. Musclenerd is going to try approaching the idea using a different method and see how that goes. What this means for all of us? Waiting. Planetbeing did mention that we would not want to use the unlock and jailbreak at it's current state and we firmly believe he knows what he is doing and what's he talking about, so if waiting is what he suggests, waiting is what we shall do (although we don't really have a choice anyway).
