I think that we may have a real issue not being able to update apps or sign into the App Store. Has anyone else been able to solve this problem?
 
Folder Backgrounds

The only issue that I'm experiencing is that my folder backgrounds seem to have lost the ability to tile / stretch out. I'm posting a picture below:

Anyone ever experience this?

My initial set up was a little funny. Had to restart quite a few times but everything seems smooth now. I'm currently running:

BiteSMS
Five Icon Dock
Zephyr
Springtomize 2
Infinifolders
SBsettings

With SBsettings I had some weird issues with losing signal but after a few restarts things are running well. I have had the phone freeze 3 separate times.

Very grateful to have this jailbreak.
 
Has anyone found a good download manager for safari that will work well with ifile? It appears as if safari download manager has not been updated for ios 5.
 
For those with the error when opening the Absynthe icon.

When you go to VPN and click it, exit out of settings by the home key while it's connecting. Wait a few moments, and it should crash your phone. Took me twice, but it worked just fine. On reboot that icon will be gone and Cydia will be in it's place.

that did the trick for me. thanks...
 
Arggghhh, I can't get it to get past "Beginning jailbreak, this may take a while...". I've restored twice already, and have even left it running for almost two hours with no progress. Is it because my phone isn't activated?
 
Is anyone having trouble installing apps from the regular App Store after jailbreaking? I cant install an app on either my Ipad 2 or 4s
 
I first reported the issue. Weird thing is that the iPad is. not jB and won't connect. Even more strange, I know that the phone is connecting to the app store because I can purposely put in the wrong password and it comes back and says its the wrong password. Some how or another, the JB is keeping the phone from allowing the ability to login to the app store. Not just from the JB iPhone, but from any device (jb or not) trying to use that apple ID.
 
I've had some problems with battery life since the JB. Also BiteSMS is slow to load sometime. Meh. No biggie I guess.
 
Just checked multiple forums. Apparently it's a coincidence that the JB came out at the same time that the app store and iTunes is having problems. It's happening to many people across multiple devices (including iTunes from your macs). Some have no issue, while others can't buy or update existing apps.
 
Weird behavior on incoming calls

When I receive a phone call and slide to unlock (or tap accept if the phone screen was on), my status bar disappears and the UI locks. After the call is over (I can't hang up, they have to), I have to respring. Anyone else having this issue?

(EDIT) Nevermind. It was iBlacklist that caused the issue.

I cant play music from the stock Music app.

The status bar indicates that music is playing but nothing coming out of the headset (4S) speaker or over Bluetooth.

Pandora works fine though.
 
First time through the jailbreak process stalled just after the reboot. The web clip was on the home screen and the VPN was configured, but the thing just wouldn't crash. Re-ran Absinthe and it ran all the way through. Crashed first try and I was off and running.

Everything seems to be working so far. I'm having the same random white app icon issue others have mentioned, but it's a small price to pay to have SBSettings and Five Icon Dock back.
 
is there a good resource to use to guide for springtomize 2? i just upgraded my old license, and the amount of tweaks you can make is unreal. almost overwhelming.

Same here, I scrolled to the middle of one song and it eventually played, but i cant do it again. That is a horrible thing to have not working.
Any ideas on the reason behind this issue?
