100 %? just cause im reading conflicting statements in this post. the verge, however, is of the same opinion, just to restore the old firmware to be in "apples good graces" again.
More like buying a Mustang and being forced to stay with the stock configurations. The Mustang will just work, but you could always tweak it to your liking...
Maybe a Mustang is nt the best car for this.
Yep, can't get anything.. servers must be overloaded. will give it a day or two to settle down.
LOL I've been trying since the jailbreak was completed to try and get stuff downloaded from Cydia with no luck. There must be 1000s of people in there jamming up the servers....

First you turn your device on and off.
Then leave it until tomorrow.
And if that doesn't work throw it across the room and repeat the steps.
Even though I don't use tethering (really don't have the need). I do agree with you. If you're paying for a set amount of data, it shouldn't matter what device you use it on. Sharing it with another device doesn't mean he's getting double the data for half the price. For those who have unlimited, I feel the same way. You're still getting throttled when you reach 5gb on AT&T. Doesn't matter how the 5gb was used, you're getting throttled, and will remain at a slower speed until the next billing cycle.
I understand that it violates AT&T's TOS or whatever, but it isn't anything even remotely close to "theft", when you're not using any more than what you've already paid for.

LOL. That was awesome!
Reading through the errors thread, it looks like the jailbreak broke the native weather app for everyone. Who cares
Huh, works fine for me.
I would never sell a JBed device. Probably not rooted Android, either. If they want to do that, fine. If there is a version number limitation for the current JB/root, I'll sell it without upgrading, so they can JB it themselves. Maybe at the right moment, that could raise your sale price a bit. (there isn't a limitation right now for this new JB, btw)
Any computer with storage you are selling: wipe it first. Computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.
I agree. Those tethering on Apples unlimited plan, maybe, okay, I could see a case there, but I see NO reason to not include tethering on tiered plans.
For the record, AT&T's new mobile share plans DO support tethering, included. (The way it should be). My wife and I switched to that from our 'family plan' and it actually ended up reducing our bill by about $10. We have 6GB of shared data shared across our two iPhones and my iPad. As a bonus, you can add a tablet for $10/month, which is cheaper than getting the 3G on the iPad by itself as I had done previously. With the mobile share plan, I can enable the iPhones native tethering. I use MyWi on the iPad to use it for tethering, should I ever need to.
Their pricing is structured in such a way that the amount of Data you already pay for across devices is the same if you combine it. So, for example, if you had three devices with 2GB of data each, the 6GB share is the same price. Where we saved was the fact that unlmited minutes and unlimited texting is included in the 'main' line, so that line was about $10 cheaper than paying for our rate plan (which was the lowest anyway, most of my stuff is free mobile-to-mobile), and paying for family unlimited texting.
Something to think about / look into. I love MyWi but native tethering is a bit nicer.
I JB so I can add the DELETE ALL feature to the email app.
Anyone know WHY Apple has never added this feature? Just yesterday I had to individually select 535 emails for deletion. I do this weekly
I've noticed it seems to really vary. With my old Verizon setup, it would have gone from $70 a month for 700 min/500texts(unlimited to other VZW)/Unlimited data, to $100-$120 for Unlimited text/minutes (I less than 200 of both of these a month) and 4 gigs of data.
What do you have to say about the dozens of devices that tether for free on AT&T without issue? My old phone before my iPhone, a Samsung Windows Mobile phone, supported native tethering and AT&T didn't do anything about that, and that was on an unlimited plan! The contract doesn't disallow tethering. You are quite literally paying extra to simply enable the iPhones native tethering ability.
I'm strongly against piracy, I believe that if someone makes something, and you think the price is unfair, then you don't buy it. You don't just 'take it' (or copy it or however else they justify it) because you claim you can't afford it or wouldn't ever buy it. However, I don't see the connection here. I don't jailbreak for piracy, and I wouldn't ask Apple to support Cydia or the Jailbreak software. But if I had a hardware failure not caused by the jailbreak, then yes, I'd expect Apple to keep their end of the bargain and fix it for me.
The Magnuson-Moss warranty act in the United States prevents Apple (and any other company) to void a warranty on unrelated things. The act states that a warranty cannot be voided by modifying the product. By modifying the software, Apple can refuse to support the software, but they cannot refuse to support the hardware. By returning the device to it's original state (restoring) then they once again need to support the software unless they can PROVE the modification caused an issue.
This is just software, simple software being installed. That's it. If I screwed up my iPhone installing a weird glow-light behind the Apple logo or installing colored plastic pieces, I wouldn't expect Apple to fix it. But this morning when I jailbroke my phone, all I did was install a piece of software.
I love all you clowns defending the big companies.
You'd think all of the tetherme users would be rotting in jail by now, judging by how you guys talk about this. It's a freaking terms of service agreement and no one is going to throw you in jail for breaking it.
