People who do not want to jailbreak their phones

The iPhone's entire filesystem is Flash based. Whenever you browse a web page in Mobile Safari the iPhone writes to a cache in Flash. Whenever you receive an email, the iPhone saves the message in Flash. Whenever you synch a new song, it is written to Flash.

Jailbreaking may cause the iPhone to misbehave because of improper programming techniques used by one of the unauthorized programs you install. It has nothing to do with the simple act of reflashing.

The warranty on jailbroken iPhones is void because the software license agreement was violated. Whether or not the service technicians are able to detect the fact that the software license agreement was violated in any given case is another story.

Very Simple...I don't WANT too and I don't NEED to.

IF you aren't a complete dumbass, jailbreaking is the way to go and cannot "break" your phone. And as for restoring to normal, it makes it like it was out of the box, untraceable.

Only individuals with EGO trips think like this or say that ALLLL those that don't jailbreak are "afraid". Why do you all think you are so much better, smarter then the normal everyday user that just wants to use things like they were designed. Let me open your eyes...YOU ARE NOT!!! You are just in your own little selfish world that no matter what is out there, you are not happy with and hack it. You probably hack your computer games to because you are not good enough to play un-hacked so you have to cheat. You probably cheat at work or cheat at school because you don't want to do it the way everyone else does. You probably even cheat on your wife/girlfriend. The majority do not live your life style so I think it you who is the "dumb ass"!

If you look down in the jail breaking section and the help section it seems to me that there are an awful lot of users that have problems with jail broken phones or can't re-flash to the original settings because they were so brave and smart...give me a break you looser, you aren't as great as you think you are!!!

Dude, chill, I wasn't trying to insult, or sound arrogant, just making chit chat at the forum. And I know the second comment isn't intended to me.

I have a couple of reasons. For one, I don't really like Cydia. Installer was much better. Another thing, much lot of the apps from Cydia are ad supported. The software made for jailbroken iPhones does not feel clean and look sleak and it doesn't match Apples quality or aesthetic.

Ha, Cydia is what Installer wishes it could be. Ads? There are App store apps that use ads...
 
I did j/b my phone but only after a week, i decided to restore it back to stock b/c of it's laggyness. 8-10 sec's of waiting for text message to open got on my nerves.

Well, I love that I have extra features on my camera, I can video record, I can play NEs games. I can use the internet on my phone, to connect my laptop anywhere, and totally better now that it is 3G speed

If I want to jailbreak my iPhone 3G, I will buy two. The Apple firmware is fine for me as of right now. Better 3G speed if your jailbroke it?
 
I didn't Jailbreak for a long time. Then I did. I am happy. I like it. But it doesn't bother me if others don't.

To each his own.:)
 
The reason for not jailbreaking my phone is simple and nobody ever mentions this:

Its wrong!

You buy a product and basically form a contract with Apple and AT&T. They hold up their end of the bargain by placing a warranty on your purchase. Your end is to not hack the phone.

If you jailbreak your phone, you deserve what you get. If you jailbreak your phone and then try to hide it, you not only deserve what you get, you will burn in hell for being dishonest. :D

All kidding aside, I personally don't want to deal with the hassle of jailbreaking and all that may come with it. I have enough things to worry about in my life.
 
I don't, because I might not be able to install Apple's latest OS updates as soon as they are available, and because using non-App-store apps could possibly make the phone less stable or less secure.

It's also easier to take a stock OS phone to the Genius bar if I'm having some problem with it.

A couple of great apps are:
-Cycorder: It's a real time compressing video camera

-Snapture: Adds features to the camera

-Nes: Which you can use to play NEs games, such as, Super Mario Bros!

-Winterboard: Which is the one where you change all the themes

-BossPrefs: Which add lots of settings

-PDANet: IMPORTANT!!! It allows your computer, to connect wirelessly to the Iphones data plan. It's internet wherever you go!!! :D

-MxTube: You can download Youtube videos

-Backgrounder: You hold the home button, and you can run any app on the background. For example, I'm playing Real Soccer 2009, and get a text message, I just hold the home button, and can get back to the middle of the game afterwards :D

And there are many more great apps, you just have to look.;)

When I search for these in the AppStore, they are not found. Can you tell me what I must not know! I have only had my iPhone for a few weeks.
 
I used to jailbreak my 1st gen iPhone (mainly because I needed to to that in order to use it, since I had to unlock it) and it was nice, I remember I enjoyed games like iPhysics or the NES/SNES emulators. Bossprefs was also a very nice app, since I wanted to limit my Edge usage since I had no data plan. However, it was a pain on the ass that every update, I had to restore the damn phone.

Now with the iPhone 3G, I feel no need to do it. The App Store provides enough applications for my needs and desires (I even got netshare), I have now an unlimited data plan so the only thing I used from Bossprefs is no longer required, and it is a lot more convenient just clicking update in iTunes and that's it whenever a new firmware is released.

I think you missed the sarcasm. :D

Not caring to jailbrake ≠ refusing. Winterboard is a pretty attractive reason to but my iPhone works great as it is and I've no desire to change it.
 
OK it is IMPOSSIBLE to mess up your iphone just jailbreaking.

I love my jailbroken iphone...

I download alot of youtube videos from : MXTUBE

I get a ton a free appstore apps from : appshare and installous

I have a 5 icon dock

I can change my carrier name to anything i want

i have tons of themes and different icons and differnt sliders and tons of customizeable options

I can run apps in the backgound with backgrounder

I have a patched version of Fring so i can make free calls over Edge and 3g

My keys on my iphone vibrate when i touch them ..very cool.

I have nes games on my phone and i can group apps into categories

I have a video camera on my phone that is fairly nice ..]

I have more photo options

and tons of more cool **** you can do.

I have NEEEEVVVERRR ever had any problems jailbreaking my iphone i have had to send a few back to get a replacement and its so easy just restore..it has NEVER messed up my warrenty at all...
 
I had to save for a while to get one and can just barely afford keeping it so I would not want to do anything that would risk the warrenty as if it breaks (and is covered) the warrenty is the only thing that would allow me to keep it as i can not afford to pay for a replacment so do not want to take the risk even if it is small of jailbreaking it, plus im not that tech savy so i would likely screw something up
 
Does Jailbreak do this?

The one thing that bothers me the most (besides no MMS and no A2DP support) is with Safari. When having a graphic intesive page open and I click on a link which opens another tab, once I'm done with that tab and close it and go back to my original tab, it reloads the whole page taking sometimes up to a minute to do so!!

Is there any hack if I were to jailbreak my phone to have the original tab stay in cache instead of having to reload it? If this is possible, I'm jailbreaking right now...
