Do you currently jailbreak? [poll]

[hexonxonx]

I jailbreak and have ever since the original iPhone.

I will JB my 4S when I can.

 

[ADMProducer]

Should have more than two options.

Should have Yes, No and No (have jailbroken previously).

I have jailbroken previously, but iOS 5 seems to fill my needs now. Especially with NC.

 

[Azzin]

My iPhone 4 is on 4.3.3 & jailbroken.

The only reason I have kept it J/B and not moved to iOS5 is for SBSettings and the 5 Icon Dock.

5 Icon Dock I could probably live without, but SBSettings? No way!

I gave up the J/B on my iPad and went with iOS5 as I don't use it as much as my phone, so there wasn't as much to miss, but I'm not giving it up on my phone.

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

Currently on a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5.

IntelliscreenX lets me see my upcoming calendar appointments on my lockscreen. It also provides access to 3G/Wifi/Bluetooth toggles from my losckscreen/homescreen. That is the sole reason I jailbreak.

Other benefits include:

My3G - no 20MB download limit

Firebreak - being able to use the panorama mode of my stock camera

KillBackground - close all apps in switcher with one tap

NowListening - notification banner showing song playing

Springflash - activate LED flashlight with double tap of sleep button

To those who think jailbreaks are full of bugs and ruin the iOS experience I can confidently say as long as you stay away from Winterboard the experience doesn't change.

I did it on my old iPod (iOS 2) ages ago to try out the SDK, but I didn't end up using too much of the JB functionality.

I got my first iPhone last week and it of course is on iOS 5. I haven't yet discovered all the features that are available out of the box or through the market, so I have no reason to JB yet

I do it just to get tethering. Everyone saying a JB is too buggy...well you installed something that caused it. Jailbreaking doesnt mean you go to cydia and install every tweak/add-on there and expect the phone to run correctly.

i agree but then why jailbreak?

It could be some SBSetttings bug, or activator, or many other simple things.

My iPhone 4 worked fine when i first jailbroke it was fine, then the screen was shutting off in the middle of me using my phone as well as the home button would not work.

The same thing happen to my wive's phone, screen shutting off and home button not working even thou we had different tweaks.

In MY personal experience, the bugs outdo the conveniences of jailbreaking.

Because I need tethering, Verizon refuses to run highspeed to my house. Our whole street has petitioned and called them and they will not do it and I am definitely not paying them $15 more a month for 2gb of tethering.

I only use MyWi, Alarming(Always turns volume to full with alarm no matter what it was set to), SBsettings, and SpringFlash. I dont install all the themes or tweaks or all the fancy springboard transitions. I use to and it killed the phone, I have since restarted and only install the necessary tweaks.

I am currently on tethered ios 5 jailbreak and have had not one problem at all with it, the phone has not once gone into safemode with the installed tweaks nor has it restarted on its own.

 

[Breezygirl]

I will as soon as the jailbreak comes out for the 4S.

 

[Shrink]

Not JB.

I'm satisfied with my iPhone 4 as it is.

I'm satisfied with the app selection available through iTunes.

I'm not technologically sophisticated enough to feel comfortable messing with the phone. If there were some kind of problem, I would be lost.

(This is not a comment on any one else's decision to JB. Just my personal reason for not...)

 

[bowlerman625]

never

 

[i hate phones]

until apple gives me integrated navigation (or allows me to choose a default app), kills the 20mb download limit, lets me stream high quality youtube videos and whatever else it hinders over 3g, and allows ipod control when hooked up to my car via usb, i will forever jailbreak

there are some other tweaks that are nice as well but those are my can't live withouts. personally not into theming, and not into stealing. some of you need to be careful with your "generalizing".

 

[BlizzardBolt]

never

Never say Never

 

[moldy lunchbox]

Loved my jailbroken iOS4. Upgraded to the new iOS5 for the Notification Center, iCloud (which sounded alot cooler than it was), and Twitter from the Photo app. I already had the volume up shutter button (or volume down) from a tweak.

Now, I'm feeling weak with this plain interface. I'm searching the web for info on an untethered jb but there's no news. I'm starting to cave in...might just do a tethered jb tonite

 

[daneoni]

Left the JB community back in the days of iPhone 3G

 

[Pipper99]

I will if only to have NoLockScreen back.

 

[fkhan3]

Using tethered JB iPhone 4 on iOS 5. Would love to do the same with my iPad 2

 

[NMF]

I used to, but iOS 5 added just about everything I used to jailbreak for. I'd still like an SBSettings-style toggle for brightness, but that's it.

It's not worth the hassle anymore. I'm too lazy to worry about "setting up" my devices. I just use them now.

 

[B777Forevar]

Yes. Rocking that semi-tethered yo

 

[Big D 51]

I done it for about a month. It was cool, but got old. Really no need for me to do it anymore.

 

[Dwalls90]

Not right now, but will as soon as the iOS 5 untethered and 4S one comes out!

 

[Smileyboy]

I have a 4S I wish

 

[quietstormSD]

I was jailbroken with my iPhone 3G (on and off). But with the 4S I'm not (obviously since a jailbreak hasn't been found/released for the 4S.

Not sure if I want to jailbreak the 4S when a jailbreak is found/released. I tweaked my 3G so much that I did make the phone more buggy.

 

[bmacir]

I jailbroke my iPhone, and I always have.

The main reason is facebreak, it's great to use FaceTime on the road

 

[elpmas]

YEAAAAAAH boy. Why not is my question
