Favourite Jailbroken Applications

Been reading about jailbreaking as I just got my new phone today. It's a 3gs on 4.0.2, is there any way to jailbreak or shall I just hold out for a fix?

It's quite possible to drop back to 4.0.1, there are many guides around showing how to achieve this. However, you can only do so I'm pretty sure, if you have previously Jailbroken your handset and backed up your SHSH blobs. I'm guessing you haven't if it is a new phone?.

Yeah its a new phone, i'll probably just wait a bit until theres a fix, can't see it taking too long. cheers pal

Draeger is right, unless you've backed up your SHSH on 4.01 or below you can't downgrade

Check the app on youtube, and you will see how to get more (if I remember correctly).

Nice website/photography btw.

Has anyone tried Auto3G in Cydia yet? I think this could become an essential app.

Basically it shuts off your 3G when your phone locks/autolocks, and then switches 3G on again when you unlock/swipe your phone. Potentially saving you loads of battery life. Apparently it works quite well, and only takes 1-2 seconds to reactivate 3G. You could just use sbsettings to manually do this though. Also I think its a little overpriced for what it is.

GJ02 · 31 Aug 2010 at 11:46

yeah i seen that
sounds good

if you have the macosmovil repo you can get it for free off cydia, i have it and it seems to work quite well.

Re: Auto3G

I have been using it today for testing. So for the whole working day so far I have only lost 3% battery since its being installed. Which I think is damn good. Not that I had battery problems before. This just makes battery life even better.

Only issues I have is that sometimes (on a few occasions) the 3G does not activate. Most of the time it does so almost instantly. The icon also sucks big time. Will have to change it myself or hide it in a folder.
