In Japanese iPhones, the camera shutter sound is permanently switched on and at maximum volume. For me (and others I know), one of the primary reasons to JB is simply to get rid of this sound.
Got a tip for us?

'Evasi0n' iOS 7 Jailbreak Controversy Surrounding Piracy and Chinese Partnership

Exactly! Along with f.lux (life savor if you use your device for more than 10 mins at night)
On the iPad, there are two: one to make iPhone apps run at full screen size and then another to double the pixels so they don't look like total garage.
It makes the apps totally usable.
I don't see how you can make that statement without backing it up, and given that the behavior is untracked you sort of can't.
I've heard that piracy via jail breaking is very common in some markets, for example in China you can expect to buy iPhones preloaded with tons of software.
And it makes complete sense. In a country with weak copyright, why would you buy a phone with few apps and a single paid ecosystem when you could buy the same phone with tons of apps and multiple ecosystems for basically the same price?
Installing software through alternate channels is the primary functionality unlocking brings to bare. It's ludicrous to suggest it isn't used to pirate extensively. Please check out the download stats for iPhone apps on Pirate Bay before you disagree.
He meant that the jailbreak developers are typically against facilitating piracy, which is true.
Read my post above. Main reason to wait is that almost nothing is ready to run correctly on 7.
To everyone slinging stupidity back and forth, think about this....
The evad3rs haven't received that cash pile. This wonderful company they hooked up with for a one night stand has so far screwed them AND their users.
F.lux I agree with. But the iPhone apps running on an iPad has been fixed in iOS 7, apps should now run at double the size by default.
Let's Wait For Some Reviews Then
Looking at the controversy surrounding it; it is advised that we shall wait for some time. There are people who will check and have frank reviews on this jailbreak.
Merry Xmas to all...

Wasn't aware of that!
Ps almost everything in this link is worth it. although I always like pdanet better than mywifi because it does a really good job of hidden my usage from my carrier.

Not really. According to almost everybody the jailbreak works great. What the JB does is to open up the iPhone and making it possible to install new apps/tweaks that's not possible without the JB.
The thing is that they had to rush the JB out before the Cydia store and the app/tweak creators had the opportunity to prepare their apps/tweaks for it. So this far just a few JB apps/tweaks are working. It's just a matter of days before most of the apps/tweaks are ready for this new JB for all phones.
Just relax and take a few deep breaths and this will work out just fine...
security? stability? beautiful is subjective. you can simply install a "launcher" and make Android look the way YOU want. also what is not secure about Android? can you be specific? Can you encrypt your iphone? Can you have separate restricted profile/area on iphone?
you may have used android phone but it doesn't sound like you have used it to its full potential. are you able to set home page on safari? can you attach any file to email on iphone? can you transfer any file on any computer without using wires? can you auto answer calls? can you auto schedule sms? Android experience WILL be different depending on the phone of your choice. if you use a sub $200 Android phone and say oh android sucks, then I will recommend try using a mid or high range Android device and then give your opinion.
unstable? unpredictable? lack of update? certain apps *may* crash on ANY platform. that's the fault of the specific app. no? i'm sure you don't claim ios sucks because a certain app crashed. or apps never crash on ios? lack of update also depends on many factor. it's NOT an android issue. once again, cheap android devices may or may not get the next update. unbranded/unlocked high end devices are supported for few years since os update come directly from manufacturer. then you also have carrier branded versions and if these devices do not get update, you can only blame the carriers. for example unbranded galaxy s3 is probably getting kitkat, but carrier branded s3, i'm not so sure.
when you impose restrictions and allow only few functions, i'd expect the few functions to perform well. this no way implies that Android can't perform basic tasks. it puts YOU in charge. you can make it work your way and personalize it. you can use it do advanced things (like booting pc from your phone) or you can simply use it for basic tasks.

Here's mine. I decided to offer up my ipad as a sacrificial lamb after hearing about it. I had an extra wifi router so I set it up on my network connected to a Linux box via eth running TCPDump catching all traffic on that interface and the ipad is the only device connected to that router. So far, no unexplained traffic or "phoning home" while idle or in use. I'll let it run for another few days and do an analysis after that. I expect more of the same.

If I can make my own dynamic wallpapers (and now I can!) and it doesn't do what everyone's afraid it does it's totally worth it.
So for me personally it's looking like a winner.
I would agree if there were some type of guarantee that if you don't like an app, movie, game, album you are entitled to a refund upon deletion or return.
Reality is in apples app store, some apps are crap and you can't get a refund. Wasted funds.
Movies are getting very expensive to just see a movie once that you may or may not like. You blow the money and you can't even get a refund.
Reality check, most music is crap these days. Once you buy you can't return though. Change that law and some piracy will cease.
I alway have used piracy as a trial method.
If i like it, THEN I'll buy it.
If not, kcuf it
ok,, given the option to "uninstall" in not in my vocab....
Why is it there in the first place if Cydia...
Sounds like its not only "just a jailbreak" anymore...... God know what else these kids will strike deals with... to bundle malware and all sorts of cruff.
It's probably just the beginning to.
In all efforts this is slowly starting to become a "Samsung Galaxy S4 loaded with useless garbage from your mobile operator"
and just to be clear, piracy will not cease, never will, even if you could return, it may go down a tad, but it will double next year anyway.
In net.... no savings, but just lost much more money.

take the blinders off
Dude, don't slander them just because they included a tweek store you're not familar with because its not in your language.
I already said it but there is piracy on Cydia as well. Tiag is the same a cydia, it is not the same as installous. Cydia isn't the only tweek store in the game, remember Rock?!?
And music Piracy is actually going down, and it due to streaming services like Netflix and spotify. I saw an article on it this year.

So I'm German and I prefer not to use American cloud services given the choice, does that make me racist as well? How is it bigoted to trust or distrust computing services based on the political system that they're hosted in?
No update really. I pulled the plug on the 27th - nada.
I think plenty of people have already cleared it to a satisfactory level already anyway. I'm just glad to have iOS 7 on my iPad finally
The extra control center toggles & Purge (kill all open apps) are great to have on my phone again.
Are you kidding? Your logic needs some major help. The comment in this thread (as just *one* example) was, "you can't trust the Chinese". That is hugely bigoted and horribly offensive.
A better comparison would be if someone hated all Germans because *some* Germans were Nazis, and that person decided that doing business with Germans was "doing business with Nazis". Is it more clear now?
If someone is offended, don't attack the person that was offended, instead assume there was an offence and ask a *********g question to find out why that person was offended. To do anything else is almost as bad as the original offence, it's really quite disgusting behaviour.
"you can't trust the Chinese". That is hugely bigoted and horribly offensive. <-- This is quite sensitive issue. Thought it shouldn't be discussed an issue like that in this forum.
