iPhone 'jailbreak or not to jailbreak? "
Here is the question that haunts many users struggling with the infamous iPhone, to unlock (jailbreak) or not?
What are actually the advantages and disadvantages of this choice?
I do not want to dwell here in explaining what is ascertained in the operation of jailbreak, but I want to list only briefly, from my point of view, the advantages and disadvantages of such a choice.
Benefits
- Add Cydia (an alternative to the App store)
- Access via SSH to the device (use the iPhone as a hard disk drive into which you can load the files via ssh fact)
- SBSettings (Cydia) that would set quick set menus for frequently used functions (on / off services such as wifi, bluetooth, 3G, etc ...)
- Ability to synchronize applications (IPA) downloaded from the internet via iTunes (the operation is legal, so is everyone the choice to operate more or less legally with your device)
- Clear the blockage bluetooth for data transfer via the upcoming release of iBlueNove (ex iBluetooth) of MeDevil
- Put a firewall (blacklist) for the management of calls / sms / mms incoming
- Add useful features to native applications such as SMS Helper (displays a count of characters entered in the process of writing a SMS)
- Change the 'APN of your phone provider to not run into unwanted charges on its rechargeable
Disadvantages
- For 3Gs with new iBoot, inability to restart the iPhone without having to jailbreak again using blackra1n
- Reduction of battery performance (but not too wisely if you use additional services such as SSH, etc ...)
- I can not think of much more ...
You aggiungereste something else to the list?
I think they are more advantages than disadvantages, perhaps by installing too many cidya app from the phone slows down a bit, I can think of winterboard and customization of the themes that is still a optional thing but when you have it you do! the speech is related to 3g that has actually very little memory and app running in the background slows down bad ....... but you've still got max 2g?
Tosca, speak almost like a man who knows what he says ... ohibhó amaze me!
I am from this Christmas a happy owner of 3Gs which actually proves to be ahead in terms of speed and memory (RAM) available ... no problem with any application :-)
The 2G is passed to my mother ... in good hands!
