		<title>The ‘End of Android is Approaching’ Thanks to Apple</title>
		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/114843-the-%e2%80%98end-of-android-is-approaching%e2%80%99-thanks-to-apple/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[&#91;img&#93;&#91;url="http&#58;//wp-content.ifans.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Apple-Google.jpg"&#93;http&#58;//wp-content.if...pple-Google.jpg&#91;/url&#93;&#91;/img&#93;<br />
 <br />
The end of Android could be approaching, suggests Raymond James analyst Tavis McCourt. As noted by Forbes, McCourt estimates that Apple held a 59% grip on the smartphone market in the first quarter of 2012, compared to just 39% in the year-ago quarter. The iPhone continues to be a dominant force in the United States, with 4.3 million handsets activated on AT&T in the first quarter in addition to 3.2 million units on Verizon and 1.5 million units on Sprint in the same time period.<br />
 <br />
With the launch of the so-called &#8220;iPhone 5&#8243; on the horizon, the momentum that Apple is experiencing is going to continue. McCourt believes that Google&#8217;s share of the smartphone market might have peaked, which means that it is likely to now continue declining. In his research note, McCourt says that Apple has &#8220;won the game,&#8221; at least in the American market, with the iPhone. Read on for his full opinion.<br />
 <br />
<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>So, here&#8217;s a thought. Could it be the case that Google&#8217;s share of the smartphone market has peaked? That the phone-buying public simply is more inclined to choose Apple&#8217;s vertically integrated approach over the cacophony of the Android market?<br />
 <br />
Could it, in fact, be the case that, while Google and Microsoft can innovate and find niche markets for their mobile OS offerings, that Apple has basically won the game, at least for the U.S. market? There&#8217;s no question that Android-based devices are crushing the likes of Nokia and Research in Motion at the low-end of the market, rapidly killing off the feature phone market. But at the top of the heap, Apple is crushing it. And iPhone 5 is just months away.</div></div><br />
 <br />

 <br />
Do you think that what McCourt is saying is true? Could the so-called &#8220;end of Android&#8221; really be approaching because of the iPhone&#8217;s dominance in the United States?<br />

		<title>5.1 Untethered Jailbreak Closer to Completion</title>

<br />
<br />
Pod2g, who was instrumental in the 5.0.1 and A5 jailbreak, has issued an update on an untethered jailbreak of 5.1.<br />
<br />
<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>News: we have all exploits required to do a new jailbreak. I'm working on bypassing ASLR at bootup.</div></div><br />
<br />
He said last month that he only had a few pieces, so hearing they have all the exploits this is good news for jailbreaking 5.1. Hopefully it won't be too much longer!<br />

		<title>Introduction of AdamD...</title>
		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/114489-introduction-of-adamd/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Rhysoid had started a thread basically asking who I was, so I figured now would be a good time to let you all know.<br />
<br />
Logan has sold iHackMyi.com to a Toronto-based company called VerticalScope. I personally am not privy to the details as to the why or anything, just that he sold it. This was announced to the staff only 5 days ago, and I had requested that they keep hush about it until the right time. Rather than ask Logan to come to the forums to post this on his own, I will quote his post from the staff room that (somewhat) explains his decision.<br />
<br />
<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>As you know I acquired the site only a little over a month ago. I made some minor changes while I was here and think I gave the community the boost it needed to get headed back in the right direction. You all know that I own several other sites and that I buy a lot of properties each month. I received an offer I couldn't turn down for iHMi and I have decided to sell to Vertical Scope. VS owns hundreds of forums and their dedication and experience is exactly what iHMi needs to continue growing.<br />
VS are the ones that handled the recent server move and as you can see there were no problems at all. This should be a good indication of the positive influences that are about to come.<br />
We ask you to please keep this recent change between the staff only. I know the members and mods are very tight knit but keeping this between the staff is the best course of action for this change.<br />
It was fun while I was here everyone and I thank you for the great experience.<br />
<br />
Best,<br />
Logan</div></div><br />
 <br />
We here at VerticalScope bring with us staff and resources to make this site grow by leaps and bounds. We provide the resources necessary to run this site and maintain the day to day technical and managerial tasks that are too time-consuming for one person.<br />
<br />
With that I would like you all to know that this is still YOUR community and we are here to work with the community and the existing staff to keep this site a place for you to come and feel at home.<br />
<br />
As of now I will be the only VerticalScope employee to join the site, however we do have some technology staff that may post using my account from time-to-time.<br />
I am here to answer questions help with forum issues and make sure we are doing our job and keeping you all happy. I may not be on the forums for hours and hours, however I do check in on a daily basis. Please feel free to ask questions in this section of the forum and I will do my best to answer any and all of them. I hope you all enjoy this new chapter in iHackMyi.com life.]]></description>

As usual, update at your own risk! This update could potentially screw your jailbreak and use caution until told it's safe by one of the dev team members. (Usually they turn out to be fine but there's always a risk.)]]></description>

		<title>Moving to new server</title>
		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/114298-moving-to-new-server/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Members of iHMi,<br />
 <br />
I would like to inform you that today at 3pm EST we will be moving to a much faster, secure, and stable server. There may be some downtime associated with this but we will try to keep it as minimal as possible. Once the server is back online and running we will do a bug check to make sure everything is up to spec.<br />

 <br />
Apple has officially sent out invitations for an event on Wednesday, March 7th at 10 AM PT. It will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.<br />
 <br />
As you can see from the invite image, there is a picture of an iPad dock with the tagline "We have something you really have to see. And touch." No surprise there. What do you think they might surprise us with?]]></description>

		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/114169-jailbreak-dream-team-to-present-at-hack-in-the-box-conference/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p class='bbc_center'><img src="http://ihackmyi.com/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-44275-0-64185600-1329741535.jpg" class='bbc_img linked-image' alt="Attached Image: monthly_02_2012/post-44275-0-64185600-1329741535.jpg" /></p><br />
<br />
The "Dream Team" that brought you the iOS 5.0.1 Jailbreak is presenting at HITBSecConf in Amsterdam on May 21 - 25th. The team includes p0sixninja, MuscleNerd and pod2g.<br />
<br />
Here's more info on the conference from the hitb website:<br />
<br />
The main aim of our conferences has always been to enable the dissemination, discussion and sharing of deep knowledge network security information. Our main focus is on new and groundbreaking attack and defense methods that have not been seen or discussed in public before. HITBSecConf events bring together a unique mix of security professionals, researchers, law enforcement and members of the hacker underground under one roof and our flagship event in Malaysia sees over 1000 attendees.<br />
<br />
The event runs over a 4 day period with 2 days of intensive hands on training sessions followed by a two-day conference with either three or four concurrent tracks inclusive of a hands on lab session (HITB Labs) and 15 minute lightning talks (HITB SIGINT). The HITB Labs caters for only 50-100 attendees and these sessions are intensive, hands-on presentations that require audience interaction. The HITB SIGINT (Signal Intelligence/Interrupt) sessions on the other hand, are designed to provide a quick 15 minute overview for material and research that's 'up and coming' - stuff that isn't quite ready for the mainstream tracks of the conference but deserve a mention nonetheless.]]></description>

		<title>Apple Fighting Back against Spire</title>
		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/114074-apple-fighting-back-against-spire/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p class='bbc_center'><span rel='lightbox'><img src='http://maypalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Siri-logo.jpg' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' /></span></p><br />
<p class='bbc_left'>It seems apple aren't keen on Spire and it's growing popularity. So much so that they're enforcing more rules to break it for Spire users.</p><br />
<br />
<br />
Previously, you only needed Spire, a host and a certificate and you were away. Now Apple have added a "SetActivationToken" which has disabled Siri for almost everyone on illegitimate devices.<br />
<br />
A temporary (hopefully) workaround of deleting "<span style='color: #333333'><span style='font-family: HelveticaNeue,'>com.apple.assistant.plist" from "/var/mobile/library/preferences" on the device appears to resolve the issue for now, but will this become another game of cat and mouse for apple, just like in Jailbreaking?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style='color: #333333'><span style='font-family: HelveticaNeue,'>No doubt we'll soon find out!</span></span>]]></description>

		<title>Sprint Sells 1.8 Million iPhones In 4th Quarter</title>
		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/113976-sprint-sells-18-million-iphones-in-4th-quarter/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p class='bbc_center'><img src="http://ihackmyi.com/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-44275-0-91246500-1328715963.jpg" class='bbc_img linked-image' alt="Attached Image: monthly_02_2012/post-44275-0-91246500-1328715963.jpg" /></p><br />
<br />
<br />
Sprint is reporting 1.8 million iPhones were sold in the 4th quarter of 2011, with 40% of those purchased by new customers. In comparison, AT&T sold 7.6 million and Verizon sold 4.2 million during the same period. This was the first quarter Sprint had the iPhone available and Sprint is the 3rd largest U.S. carrier so that puts the number in some perspective.<br />
<br />
This is a statement from their website:<br />
<br />
<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>
Our strong fourth quarter performance illustrates the power of matching iconic devices like the iPhone with our simple, unlimited plans and industry-leading customer experience,&#8221; said Dan Hesse, Sprint CEO. &#8220;During the past year, Sprint added more than 5 million net new customers and grew wireless service revenue by more than 5 percent, including 17 percent for the Sprint platform. This momentum gives us confidence as we execute our Network Vision upgrade and 4G LTE roll-out.&#8221;<br />
<br />
The company continued to rapidly grow the number of prepaid and wholesale and affiliate subscribers in the fourth quarter. Prepaid net additions were 507,000 bringing total prepaid subscribers to nearly 14.8 million at the end of 2011, an increase of 20 percent since the end of 2010. Net additions of 954,000 for wholesale and affiliates in the fourth quarter were the highest in seven years.<br />
<br />
Additionally, the company reported a net loss of $1.3 billion and a diluted loss of $.43 per share for the quarter, which includes pre-tax, non-cash charges of $241 million, or $.08 per share, consisting of asset and impairment charges of $78 million on property, plant and equipment, $135 million on Sprint&#8217;s investment in Clearwire and $28 million in severance costs.<br /></div></div><br />
<br />
Wow they lost 1.3 billion dollars....]]></description>

		<title><![CDATA[Motorola's German iDevice Ban Suspended]]></title>
		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/113927-motorolas-german-idevice-ban-suspended/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p class='bbc_center'>[attachment=869:deutsch.png]</p><br />
<br />
<br />
Apple has won an appeal to have the ban on sales of certain models of iPhone and iPad in the country. An appeals court lifted the ban after Apple made a new payments offer. Germans however, aren't out of the water yet. They may lose their push notifications for iCloud mail in a separate court ruling.<br />
<br />
<br />
The iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 had all been affected, but not its newer iPhone 4S. All 3G models of the iPad were involved, but not their wi-fi-only counterparts such as the iPod touch.<br />
<br />
The suspension may only last a few weeks tops, but Apple are able to resume sales in the meantime.<br />
<br />
Florian Mueller, who was present at the review was quoted to have said the bond was likely to be around $158million or &#163;100million:<br />
A suspension like this is available only against a bond, but Apple is almost drowning in cash and obviously won't have had a problem with obtaining and posting a bond<br />
<br />
Motorola licenses the patent to other companies on Frand (fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory) terms. The patent itself relates to:<br />
<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'><a href='http://www.scribd.com/doc/75208713/11-12-09-Mannheim-Ruling-for-MMI-Against-Apple' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>method for performing a countdown function</a> during a mobile-originated transfer for a packet radio system".</div></div><br />
<br />
Motorola seemed rather put out by the result and signalled their intention to restore the ban.<br />
<br />
Apple were, understandably, rather pleased by this result. Their announcement afterwards saying that:<br />
<br />
<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>All iPad and iPhone models will be back on sale through Apple's online store in Germany shortly. Apple appealed this ruling because Motorola repeatedly refuses to license this patent to Apple on reasonable terms, despite having declared it an industry standard patent seven years ago."</div></div><br />

		<title>iPod Nano Prototype With Camera Leaked</title>
		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/113880-ipod-nano-prototype-with-camera-leaked/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p class='bbc_center'><img src="http://ihackmyi.com/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-44275-0-48676500-1328127989.png" class='bbc_img linked-image' alt="Attached Image: monthly_02_2012/post-44275-0-48676500-1328127989.png" /></p><br />
<br />
There's been a lot of buzzing in the past 24 hours about some pictures that were leaked of a prototype iPod Nano that has a camera. The latest reports are showing that there is still a good amount of work to be done to make it final.<br />
<br />
This is the latest from M.I.C. Gadget:<br />
<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>According to our factory sources, Apple have problems with the lens aperture for the next-gen iPod nano, the iris is not functioning correctly to allow the advantages of the low aperture to be utilized. Every shot was overexposed. Apple intends to correct its mistake, but the problem still exists in this prototype that is manufactured two months ago. What's more, a 2-megapixel camera was tested, but it was unsatisfactory - the photos look washed-out and flat. The good news is&#8230; this 2-month-old prototype is close to final product, the UI is done.</div></div><br />
<br />
This isn't the first time an iPod Nano prototype with a camera has been rumored. Back in May there were pictures of a prototype that eliminated the clip. In November Apple filed a patent on a clip that had a hole in the clip to allow the camera to see through it.<p class='bbc_center'><img src="http://ihackmyi.com/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-44275-0-10480600-1328128201.jpg" class='bbc_img linked-image' alt="Attached Image: monthly_02_2012/post-44275-0-10480600-1328128201.jpg" /></p><br />
<br />
Anyone interested in this? Does anyone here even have an iPod Nano? (Kinda joking....)]]></description>

		<title>What /is/ a PC? Apple passes HP in PC sales (Kinda, not really) Hop in to read more!</title>

<br />
New data was released yesterday (Monday) that stated that 2011's Q4 PC sales leader was indeed Apple! Over HP and Dell, etc., you ask? Well... Kind of. This data includes tablets as personal computers, therefor, including iPad sales with the MacBooks and iMacs, Apple is number one.<br />
<br />
Well some of you may think of that as unfair, and as a matter of fact, you aren't alone. Most of the journalists who covered this information thought that the iPad shouldn't be considered a PC... But, er... What necessarily is a personal computer?<br />
<br />
Well, in general, a computer is an electronic device that processes information and tasks... And for technicality kids, it has to use binary. Well, the iPad does all that, so why are you complaining? People compared it to other operating systems and stated that it couldn't do most of the things that those OS's can, but that is irrelevant to whether it is a computer or not, isn't it? I mean, computers way back in the day could never run half of those programs, so that reason is void. An iPad is infact a personal computer.<br />
<br />
Feel free to discuss my verdict, but that's my view, with a bit of interesting news.<br />

		<title>T-Mobile To Start Offering Additional Support for iPhone Starting Today?</title>
		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/113823-t-mobile-to-start-offering-additional-support-for-iphone-starting-today/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p class='bbc_center'><img src="http://ihackmyi.com/uploads/monthly_01_2012/post-44275-0-23612600-1327944407.jpg" class='bbc_img linked-image' alt="Attached Image: monthly_01_2012/post-44275-0-23612600-1327944407.jpg" /></p><br />
According to TMONews, T-Mobile will start offering additional support to its million customers that use unlocked iPhones on their network. There's a screenshot of the leaked document above.<br />
<br />
Basically they are going to have more iPhone specific information for their customers and customer support to help iPhone users. They are also asking their reps to read up and learn the information to be more helpful.<br />
<br />
<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>Starting on January 30th, T-Mobile will "begin offering additional support to customers using an Apple iPhone on our network." T-Mobile's added iPhone support will include "common procedures, information about feature and specifications and other basic device questions." T-Mobile is implementing these changes to support the 1 million plus users on the Magenta network with unlocked iPhones.</div></div><br />
Also it has been rumored that the next iPhone will expand it's frequency range to be able to offer 3G to other carriers such as T-Mobile. Currently T-Mobile users can only access the EDGE network.<br />
<br />
I'm on an unofficial carrier (not T-Mobile) and I am listed as having an "other" smartphone. There's no documentation or support on my carrier's site. When I've had to deal with their support it's been mostly for billing changes and I've never had them help, or offer help, or even ask what phone I have.<br />
<br />
Anyone here on T-Mobile have any success or assistance from them regarding your iPhone?]]></description>

		<title>Redsn0w Updated to Fix iBooks Issues</title>
		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/113822-redsn0w-updated-to-fix-ibooks-issues/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[<p class='bbc_center'><img src="http://ihackmyi.com/uploads/monthly_01_2012/post-44275-0-60849200-1327943380.png" class='bbc_img linked-image' alt="Attached Image: monthly_01_2012/post-44275-0-60849200-1327943380.png" /></p><br />
<br />
<br />
The long trusted jailbreak tool redsn0w has been updated again to fix iBooks issues. The iPhone Dev-Team, and particularly planetbeing this time, have issued the update which addresses an issue some have been having with DRM and iBooks.<br />
<br />
<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>redsn0w version b5 incorporates yet another fix for iBooks, this time involving DRM. @planetbeing wrote a utility called "crazeles" that overcomes jailbreak detection by iBooks that would cause about 10% of images to show incorrectly. This fix is similar to the "hunnypot" fix that @comex wrote for the 4.x jailbreak. As usual, you can choose to install the fix either by re-running redsn0w over your existing jailbreak (de-select Cydia if you do that), or by installing the corona package from Cydia (it's the same set of files no matter which way you choose).</div></div><br />
In related news Corona, the Cydia tweak that allows your tethered jailbreak to be untethered, has also been updated to fix this issue. If you have installed the Cydia tweak you will see an update in Cydia for the tweak (if you haven't already).<br />
<br />
<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>Hi, I heard some great news from IRC @planetbeing has fixed Corona issues with iBooks DRMd books. Corona 1.0.6 to be released soon.</div></div><br />

		<title>Apple takes back the lead of smartphone sales from Samsung</title>

<br />
While being too busy to post a lot of news (mother is pretty sick), I'll still keep you updated.<br />
<br />
Well, since Q3 '11 was a rough patch for Apple, with the 4S not yet released, Samsung took back the lead. Now in Q4, with the Apple 4S and hype mixed with nostalgia is on the loose, as the image (from MacRumors) states, Apple finally surpasses Samsung once again.<br />
<br />
With all these lawsuits, it's cool to see who really shows on top <img src='http://ihackmyi.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /><br />

		<title>Jailbreaking: Soon to be illegal again?</title>
		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/113718-jailbreaking-soon-to-be-illegal-again/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I guess I speak for a lot of Internet, iPhone,iPad or iPod users when saying that recently there's lots of changes coming up.<br />
 <br />
First Sopa and Pipa kicked in and created a public outrage all around the world followed by the takedown of the well-known web sharing client Megaupload and retaliation coups by Anonymous. Lots of trouble lies still ahead as it has yet to be decided what happens to ACTA (a far more aggressive anti-piracy law).<br />
 <br />
Now even more chocking news came up to the surface as Redmondpie  released an article about some changes concerning jailbreaking & unlocking.<br />
 <br />
In 2010 the act of Jailbreaking was declared to be legal in the United States. This was a huge setback for Apple as they invested a high amount of money into anti-jailbreak policies and propaganda.<br />
<p class='citation'>Quote</p><div class="blockquote"><div class='quote'>fact that jailbreaking, whilst officially legal, would still void any official Apple warranties</div></div><br />
They claim that third-party tweaks might influence you iOS experience in any way possible. However we all know that lots of Apple's firmware releases contain tweaks that were once only available in Cydia.<br />
 <br />
We all awaited that day when jailbreaking became legal and hence we have to sign the new petition to keep it that way.<br />
The petition has been made by the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) which defends the act of jailbreaking. Furthermore it is important to know that the iPad is not yet covered under the ruling of 2010 meaning it is not yet legal to jailbreak your iPad.<br />
 <br />
So sign the petition to avoid a setback for third-party developers and you as user. To join you simply have to go to the EFF's webpage and and comment to the Copyright Office with the links provide of the EFF page.<br />
 <br />

 <br />
The Copyright Office needs to hear from people who depend on the ability to jailbreak to write, use, and/or tinker with independent software (from useful apps to essential security fixes) for smartphones, tablets, and game consoles.

		<title>Forum moved to new server</title>
		<link>http://ihackmyi.com/topic/113715-forum-moved-to-new-server/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Well this is the third time I've written this because there is some unknown bug with the server that is being sorted right now. You may have noticed that the forum was going from very fast to very slow and that your new posts were not showing. Hopefully this period is over and everything will be back to normal now. I have emailed my hosting company and they are working on it and right now it looks like everything is coming back to normal.<br />
 <br />
Sorry for me downtime it was only supposed to be about 2 hours and it turned into about 8.<br />
 <br />
Please post all bugs you find here so I can get them fixed asap.]]></description>
