It turns out that the 3.1 patch for the iphone removes tethering for any carrier that isn’t a partner of Apple. This means that if you own an officially unlocked iphone and run it on another network, you can’t use the iphone as a modem for your laptop any more.
Well done, Jobs – keep fucking your customers up the arse! They’re your fanboys, they LOVE it!
Apple – Support – Discussions – no tethering on officially unlocked ….
The instructions are here – a good plan to do this before you update. Anyway, it turns out that they’re kept in a sqlite3 file in
/var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db
if you want to do this on the iphone itself through terminal you need to apt-get install sqlite3
Then you need to convert to CSV:
sqlite3 -csv -separator ',' sms.db "select * from message;" > output.csv rowid: A unique identifier for each message address: The telephone number of the sender / recipient date: The Unix Timestamp of when the message was sent / received text: The message content flags: 3 Indicates that the message was sent, 2 indicates that it was received group_id: Indicates the conversation the message belongs to (messages are linked together via groups and the group_member table). If you use SSH to back up and replace the files, make sure you keep the permissions right: -rw-r--r-- 1 mobile mobile 61440 Sep 2 22:35 /var/mobile/Library/SMS/sms.db

The really good thing about these screen protectors is that they come in two versions: one which disallows people to see what you’re doing on your iphone from the sides and one which turns the face of your iphone into a mirror finish.

In order to futureproof your iPhone upgrade, you need to get and save your ECID, iBEC and IBSS.
In order to do this you need the following program:
difrnt » Blog Archive » ECID Grabber & iBEC and iBSS Grabber.
You can then follow these instructions from step 6 on – the grabber will do the temp file watching for you. You will then have your iBEC and iBSS files. NB If you only get the iBEC file, you can also look in C:\Users\All Users\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Temporary Files\Firmware\dfu – they might both be in there…
In order to get your ECID:
Check hackint0sh.org ECID instructions

In order to jailbreak you need your ipsw file and Redsnow. Redsnow will ask you for the location of the ipsw file (if you downloaded the update from Apple that would be: users\”USERNAME”\appdata\roaming\apple computer\itunes\) and works with 3.0.1
OK so maybe it’s not quite as accurate as a proper sonic ruler, but being able to use sonar on your iphone is a pretty neat trick!

Well, this ipod case is the best looking one I’ve seen – and it’s really easy to make! This site gives the instructions.
Who said Apples don’t get virusses? In a one character SMS message, an attacker can take over your phone entirely: turn on or off the camera, send the contacts list, dial out, etc etc etc.
Oddly enough the first people to patch it are the people Apple is intent on stopping from working on software for the iPhone: the jailbreakers!
Hours after Apple rejected GV on the appstore, you can now get it for free via Cydia. Fuck you, Apple!

Very simply put, this takes the compas, the time and the GPS to determine where on earth you are. It then uses the camera input and shows you the constellations you’re looking at, tells you what they are and you can click on suns and planets for a more detailed view.

Tom Tom has a GPS unit which plugs into your iphone. It’s better than the iphone’s built in unit, so you should be able to use it in built up areas properly. It looks like it’ll work on the Touch as well.

“you run the app with your earbuds plugged in, and then sit back and enjoy listening to the sweet sounds of whatever’s going on around you — only louder. The app allows you to control volume and tone, and you can also replay the last 30 seconds of what you’ve been hearing — in case you missed something particularly juicy”
Now, considering I have a set of Sure headphones I use for running and I run on streets, this is very handy: not being able to hear any traffic feels dangerous!

Quite cleverly, before the release of iphone OS 3.0, it has allready been jailbroken. OS 3 will finally add such basic concepts such as MMS and copy and paste – only around 2 years after the release of the thing – as well as a search feature. Wow. Basic functionalities. About bloody time. Oh. And if you’re an ipod touch user, you’ll have to pay $9.99 for the privelige of having something that kind of works. Apple – you still suck.
