Taking a screenshot in iOS is easy. Apple has offered the feature since day one, and as long as you can master the simultaneous pressing of the sleep and home buttons, a screen capture will automatically be deposited into your camera roll. How is it so, then, that taking a video recording of the current screen is so much more difficult? The process tends to involve costly, time-consuming desktop software, but thanks to a little jailbreak app by the name of RecordMyScreen, it needn't be this way. More details right after the jump!
Google no longer supports Exchange ActiveSync protocol to sync email, contacts and calendar stored on free Gmail / Google IDs with third party apps. If you have setup Google Sync via Exchange on your iPhone before Jan 30th of this year, you wouldn’t notice any problem, until you reset the device and try to setup your account using EAS again. Also, if you try to setup Google Sync on a brand new iOS device, you will be greeted with “Cannot get mail, the connection to the server failed” message.
Apple's iMessage was first introduced along with iOS 5 back in late 2011, and has since processed many billions of messages between iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and OS X Mountain Lion users worldwide. But whilst celebrated for being secure, efficient, and generally reliable, a new-found vulnerability demonstrates just how easily one can be attacked by floods of messages in a DoS-esque manner, to the point where the app locks up and becomes unusable. Many Apple developers, including jailbreak gurus such as iH8Sn0w and chpwn have been targeted in a spate of attacks, and although the culprit’s origins are rather unknown, it's worrying just how easily the attacks were conceived. More details right after the jump.
The Clock app which comes bundled with iOS has quite a few functions, but is used primarily by iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users for its ability to set reliable alarms. Of all the areas of Apple's revered mobile operating system, it's one that doesn't require a great deal of attention in upcoming revisions since it - barring one or two hiccups - does exactly what is required of it. But the jailbreak community is not known for settling, and developer GSquared has created a tweak by the name of AlarmDisplay Pro which uses your Clock app's icon badge to present alarm information at a quick glance.
Apple's 'tick-tock' smartphone release cycle, which involves releasing all-new devices intermittently and dropping a refreshed, aesthetically identical model in-between, has worked wonders for the company hitherto. Following the successful release of the iPhone 5 last Fall, it's largely expected Apple will follow it up with an iPhone 5S this summer, continuing the familiar pattern of the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4S by offering a modest spec bump. According to the latest report, the new device could be coming a lot sooner than many may otherwise have anticipated, with the report touting a June 20th launch followed by shipments beginning in July.
As far as prominent figures in the jailbreak community go, Joshua Hill - also known as P0sixninja - is up there with the best of them. If you remove his various public Twitter based meltdowns from the equation, you are left with a person who has undoubtedly been one of the most important components in the production of recent jailbreaks. Although we haven't heard a great deal from him since his rather acrimonious departure from the Chronic Dev Team, it looks like he could be potentially about to propel himself back to the top of the pecking order after claiming to have all the necessary exploits required for the production of a new jailbreak.
We've grown used to Electronic Arts coming through with great deals on its expansive range of iOS titles, and with Easter just around the corner, the company has made sure gaming fans can enjoy favorites old and new for the great price of just 99 cents. The vast majority of its range has been dealt the significant price slash, and we've a full list coming up after the break!
One of the most important aspects of any mobile device is undoubtedly the amount of power manufacturers manage to bundle into any device on the market. Any smartphone or tablet can come equipped with an array of innovative next-generation features, but if the battery depletes far too quickly, then that device becomes entirely useless from a user's perspective. We've previously seen a number of App Store and Cydia based packages that offer an insight into how a battery is performing on the installed device, but one of the latest to land on the BigBoss repository is the iBatteryInfo tweak that presents some useful information to the user based on certain charging conditions.
We first learned last week that Square Enix's Final Fantasy V would be hitting Japan before making its way to the App Store, as well as Google's Play Store. Whilst the Android version still has yet to materialize, the title can now be downloaded for owners of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Some claims just seem too much to believe, so when Microsoft's Frank Shaw claimed that the company's Windows Phones had in fact outsold Apple's hugely popular iPhone in seven different markets, more than a few of us were a little skeptical. Turns out he was right, but he didn't tell the entire story. More details right after the jump.
