Following on from the hours of countless fun that users had with the "effective power" text messaging bug that caused iPhones to crash at will, there's now a new crashing solution doing the rounds. Here are the details.
Seldom, when launching the Safari mobile browser on an iOS device, do we wish to go back to the same page we were looking at several minutes / hours / days previously. Often, it's an annoyance to me that Safari launches on a Google search performed a day earlier to settle a minor dispute, and there's usually that couple of seconds' delay in loading the old page before I can get on with the new task at hand. As is so often the case with the thriving Cydia community, there's a tweak for that; it's called SafariBlankPage, and we've got all of the details coming up after the leap!
With the iOS 4.3 Golden Master hitting dev's iPhones and iPads the world over, we've all been wondering just how much faster Safari is now that the new JavaScript optimizations have been added. The answer? A bit.
Back in November, we reported about “Pull To Refresh for Mail” tweak in Cydia for jailbroken iPhones. And now, this nifty tweak is available for Mobile Safari browser on your iOS device. Once the tweak has been installed through Cydia, all you have to do is to start Safari and slide the page down until you see the refresh dialogue appear. Once you release your finger, the page will refresh just as if you tapped the usual refresh button.
A new useful add-on which goes by the name of “Home Page in Safari” has been released on Cydia which allows jailbroken iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users to set their favorite website as home page in Mobile Safari browser. This could specially come in handy on the larger, more spacious screen of iPad !
Here is yet another alternative to Mobile Safari on iPhone and iPod touch. The iDroid Mini browser brings Android browser’s look and feel to the iPhone platform.
