Hi, I'm a graduate student doing some research for a professor at my university, and I have a few questions about IOS6 which I don't know where else to turn to have answered. If any of you can help or direct me to resources that may be able to help, I'd greatly appreciate it. The questions I have are as follows:

*When locked, can the phone be forensically analyzed? (specifically using a Paraben Mobile Device Seizure G2?)

*What system data is encrypted?

*are stored emails, texts, notes, etc encrypted?

We are a computer lab specializing in cyber security and I am new to the program so I'm learning as I go. Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
hey there, first step is to jailbreak the phone. then u can ssh into it. i think root password is alpine or alpine1. u then get access to file system. i didnt' dig too much but when browsed using ssh, files are (appear to be) named with some weird strings. for instance, inside adobe reader u may have a filed called "make money.pdf" 6mb, ok so u will see a file of that size but name will be X002NN2FANXKDZ.pdf ...

also apps are sandboxed. the file system isn't anything like PC or Android. on ios you put files INSIDE an app. so if your app goes, all of your files are gone too. its why there's really no file sharing between apps. there's no true user accessible file system on ios. apple knows what's best for you.

You can either Archive or Delete in Gmail since iOS5 and earlier.

Just go to Settings/Mail/Gmail and turn "Archive messages" off.

Hope it helps!


Neat .. Thanks..

Maybe this will also help the large amounts of mail kept in the air-mail folder on server, i need to manually sign-in in to Gmail and delete these non-Inbox selected messages.

Otherwise, it just keeps wasting space.
 
Anyone having trouble doing CCP (or even highlight) in the google.com search bar in Safari?

+1

It seems to be a glitch between the keyboard and the search field at the top.

To use CCP or highlight tap on "next" on the keyboard which will take u to the search field at the bottom where u can now CCP and highlight.

Or just use the search field in Safari...

Thing to look at in 6.1.1

That was driving me crazy for some time now. I thought is me for awhile.

At least this work-around is rather painless and quick.

WIth this setting off, does this only affect swiping of messages, or tapping the "Trash" icon too ?
 
This most likely has not been posted yet, but I could be wrong.

In iOS 5, there was an issue described here:

(TL;DR: You couldn't see the time before answering a call, if you got a call while phone was locked.)

In iOS 6.0, it has been fixed.

Here's the before screenshot, in iOS 5.

Here's the after screenshot, in iOS 6.

Here's a screenshot demonstrating the change.

I don't really know if u could see the time or not.

What I know is that phone number u posted its gonna become a 'hot line' ;)
 
I have the 4S. I wanted to post a screenshot, but now my iPhone is deciding to make a liar out of me, lol. Oh well.
I believe you, I had a similar issue trying to activate Genius in the App Store in which I got stuck on that screen (and now it'll crash when I try to select Genius.)
 
Siri is grayed out on my iPhone 5's keyboard for some reason. Anyone know why?

Have you tried pressing it? I noticed after enabling other keyboards it changed color to match the lettered keys instead of the darker symbol keys. I can still use dictation though.
 
When using emojis; instead of swiping left or right thru pages of them you can tap the white space between the top row emojis (either just left or right of the dot page no indicator) and the top of the box and it automatically goes to the next page.

On my iPhone it is harder to do that than just swipe. It might be useful if it allowed me to jump all the way to specific page of emojis.
