“Instead of focusing on creating one or two high-end phones to get them through the year, these OEMs have perfected the art of incrementalization. They have thrown true quality to the wind to incrementally launch the same device in multiple, ever so slightly different variations, sending the previous version into irrelevancy by a slight margin mere weeks after its arrival. And it never fails; there is at least one gaping flaw with each and every one – build quality, poor camera, poor audio recording, lackluster display, etc. There isn’t a single phone that has it all and also touts near perfect build quality.”

Internet tethering without Jailbreak.

Posted by Xenomorph on Friday, October 28th, 2011

For weeks, “PayUpSucker” and now “PayUpPunk” have been available on the iTunes App Store.

The programs allows an iPhone to share its Internet connection via a SOCKS proxy:

itunes.apple.com/app/payuppunk/id336009164

It costs just $0.99. No need to jailbreak.

I have tested this under Windows 7 and Mac OS X. It should work the same under Windows Vista. I’ve never made an Ad-hoc connection under Windows XP, so your mileage may vary with that.

Method to tether your internet connection:
- Create an Ad-hoc network with Vista/Win7/Mac OS X (tested without a password and with WEP).
- Set your computer to use a static IP. I went with 10.0.0.5/255.0.0.0.
- Join your iPhone to the Ad-hoc network.
- Set you iPhone to have a static IP. I went with 10.0.0.1/255.0.0.0.
- Set Firefox to use SOCKS for DNS (about :config, search for “dns”).
- Set Proxy to the iPhone’s IP, port 8888.
- Start up “PayUpPunk”, tap IOU, and enter Its my data (no punctuation).

Enjoy Internet tethering!

First public update since 2009!

http://xenomorph.net/xdntweaker/

Many fixes included (most for for Server 2008 and 2008 R2), an option to enable ClearType on login (XP/2003), an option to tell Automatic Updates to not reboot for minor updates, and an option to enable admin shares on systems with UAC.

iPhone 4 glass breaking 82% more than iPhone 3GS

I saw this at MacRumors today:

“Consumer electronics warranty firm SquareTrade today released the results of a study it has performed comparing accident rates for the iPhone 4 with those of the iPhone 3GS in the early months of ownership. According to the study, which is based on SquareTrade’s extensive customer base, the iPhone 4 is generating an accident rate 68% higher than that of its predecessor.”

Wow. What a surprise! Who would have thought something like that could happen with a phone made of glass?

Slashdot linked to an article calling glass breakage on iPhone 4 Glassgate, after one of the other humiliating iPhone 4 issues, Antennagate.

I say bring on the iPhone 5!

iOS 4.1 Jailbreak!

Posted by Xenomorph on Sunday, October 10th, 2010
Posted in: General.

limera1n has been released.

It works with iOS 4.0.x and 4.1, and supports the iPhone 3GS (old and new bootrom), iPod Touch 3G, iPad, iPhone 4, and new iPod Touch 4G.

I have a new bootrom 3GS, and it was really easy to jailbreak. I just ran limera1n, pushed the button, and followed the on-screen instructions.

I may post more information here: http://xenomorph.net/apple/iphone/jailbreak/
