is there still a problem with OTA updates? i got my phone around christmas and i cant remember if the update was already on here or if i did it. i cant get itunes to restore my phone cause it keeps telling me "cannot contact update server, check network settings" but my internet is working fine. im just lost as hell

did you block Apple's server in a host file? if not

Yeah with iOS7 you don't have to jailbreak anymore for a emulator. Recently got a GBA emulator straight off of safari. All you got to do is change your time to 2012, download the emulator then change it back.

That's weird how the app store works like that. Have you found any other apps that are hidden like that?

Not really, just a few more emulators.

GBA4IOS is GOAT. Used the cheat codes for Pokemon Emerald to get the special ferry tickets I could never get as a kid.​

Renowned iOS developer Ryan Petrich has released a patch on his personal beta repo to fix the SSL issue present in iOS firmware below iOS 7.0.6. On Friday, Apple unexpectedlydropped the new iOS 7.0.6 firmware to fix the egregious security hole, which is detailed inthis post.

Such a serious security flaw is bad for jailbreakers, because it means needing to update your device, and having to perform the jailbreak process all over again. Evasi0n7 1.0.6 wasreleased to jailbreak iOS 7.0.6, but it’s still hassle to have to back everything up, restore to iOS 7.0.6, and re-jailbreak. Due to the serious nature of the security hole, we’ve been encouraging folks to update, which is understandably a huge hassle for many.

But Ryan Petrich has come through to save the day, releasing a fix for the SSL issue that allows users to remain on current firmware. Ryan’s SSLPatch release makes it so that you don’t have to immediately update to iOS 7.0.6 in order to protect yourself from the serious flaw. Check inside for more details.

To find SSLPatch, you’ll first need to add Ryan Petrich’s beta repo to your list of Cydia sources. His repo address is as follows:

http://rpetri.ch/repo/

Once you add the repo, search for SSLPatch. The SSLPatch page has a link to the analysis of the bug it fixes, along with a link to the code on GitHub if you’d like to inspect what it does.

Late pass - but finally made the leap to the 5S
Nice phone all around

Any recommendations on cases? Nothing that will hide the aesthetics but at least offer some protection
This one looks good so far but I might need a screen protector as well

Didn't know where to post this so I'll just post it here. I resized the canvas for a bunch of smilies for those who wannna use them on their phone. I know on iPhone a lot of them joints get cut off because the image is too close to the border and iOS rounds the corners.

Keep in mind this isn't EVERY smilie but simply the ones I use.

Is there any remedy for the wifi connection probs on the iPhone 5. The one I have always hangs on wifi and my girls does too. Hers is Tmo and mines AT&T . Neither iPad or mini have these probs. Mine won't connect to my gym at all. Her old htc never had this problem nor my nexus which connects flawlessly everywhere.

Its a hardware issue, goto the Apple store and have them swap em out.
