iPod touch Jivetalk always crashing when viewing other sites

[superspiffy]

why do IM clients like jivetalk crash when I start multitasking and opening other safari tabs? I always have to log back on.

Its not actually crashing.
In order to save battery life, the iPod would "close" a window you're not using.


Something like that.

Look for

the thread for the Apollo app fix
Apollo.app is a really good IM app that is under "network" in installer.app
and u dont need a browser window for it....
ok nevermind i have it....


get Cyberduck for mac
open a new SFTP connection
servername is your ipod IP address
username: root
password: alpine (if u need it)

find the (ect) folder
download the file called "hosts" and open it with text edit....

add this to the end of the text in that file

64.12.161.185 login.oscar.aol.com
64.12.161.185 login.messaging.aol.com
65.54.239.140 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.140 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net
65.54.179.216 nexus.passport.com
65.54.179.216 nexus.passport.com.nsatc.net
65.54.183.203 login.live.com
65.54.183.203 login.live.com.nsatc.net
65.55.128.48 spaces.live.com
209.85.163.125 talk.google.com
209.85.163.125 talk.l.google.com

Now upload that and replace the existing "hosts" file on your ipod...

After restarting a few time, this should give u Apollo.app working on 1.1.3
this is all useless if your not jailbroken yet...but hey!
Take care!

Hmm... I'm still not sure if I wanna Jailbreak my iPod yet. With the new apps, I can't really imagine anything else I need. Yes games would be nice, improve iCal functionality and the likes but is it worth the trouble and the risk? Would I loose functionality if I get the hacked versions of the native apps?

Is JiveTalk a WEBAPP? If so, when you switch tabs in iPod Touch's Safari, it disables javascript on the non-active page. So only the page you are viewing has javascript enabled. .
