    Ask Tii - Is there a hardware device that enables using other handsets with iPhone through out the house
    Hi Rob, 
     
    I just dropped our land line phone in favor of using the iPhone as my home line. AT&T reception is perfect throughout our two story home, however, I need to keep the phone with me at all times around the house to answer it. With our land line, we had a Sony wireless phone system with 5 handsets distributed throughout the house. Since I don't like to carry my cell phone around while I'm at home, do you know of any hardware device available that enables me to leave my iPhone in one place and be able to answer the phone in other rooms, like some type of blue tooth or room extender hardware? If not, maybe there's room for me to invent the device. I just thought that if anyone might have heard of one, you'd be the guy. Love your show, thanks for anything you can relay to me on this topic.
    Regards,
    Steve 
     

    Hello Steve,

     

    Yes there are several Phone systems like that.

     

    Here is a link to one on Amazon that looks to meet your needs.

    Ask Tii - How do I password Protect individual Apps

    Hi Rob, 

    My 7,5,3 & 1 year old love my iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone, iPad) How do I lock programs so they can't access them? I want my 7 year old to read a book or play a math game. I do not want her killing zombies or sling shotting birds. 

    Keith P

    Hi Keith, 

     

    You need to Jailbreak to get this feature. 

     

    In the past I recommended the Jailbreak App Lockdown,  There was also Locktopus and FolderLock.  Sadly none of those three look to be working with iOS 5 devices.   

     

    HOWEVER - there is one Cydia App - Applocker - that claims to work with iOS 5 and iOS 4 devices - and it is only $0.99. 

     

    Regards, 

     

    Rob W

    Jailbreak - iOS 5.0.1 - Untethered - iPhone 4S and iPad 2 - GreenPois0n

    Update1 - 1/26/12 - 9:50 PM CT - Updated links for GreenPois0n to v0.3

      

     

    Update 2 - 1/27/12 - 7:30 AM CT - Hi Rob, 

     

      I have heard how everyone is having an easy time doing the new iPhone 4s/iPad 2 jailbreak, well mine wasn't so smooth. 

     
    Long story short, if you have any VPN profiles on your device for work or whatever, this will cause the absinthe jailbreak to never complete.  The absinthe jailbreak creates a VPN connection to finally install Cydia.  If you have any other VPN profiles it doesn't make the correct connection for that final step, so at the very least add a line to your tutorial about removing any VPN profiles you have on your iPhone/iPad 2 when prepping for the jailbreak and things should go smoothly.  
     
    It took me a whole day of trying to click the absinthe icon before I removed all my VPN profiles and the next attempt to jailbreak was smooth and successful. 
     
    Thanks for the great podcast as always! 
     
    Steven in Virginia 

    =================

     

    An un-tethered jailbreak is now available for iOS 5.0.1 for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 - that is what this tutorial is for.  Note: For the iPhone 3GS, 4 (GSM) and 4 (CDMA),  iPad 1 and  iPod Touch 3G & 4G - see this Tutorial.  

    =========


    There are some very good articles on how to jailbreak but many miss a couple of steps that new jailbreakers need to know especially when it comes to using Cydia - the resource for finding and installing jailbroken apps.  This tutorial tries to help those first time jailbreakers by covering both the jailbreak process step by step and also how to use Cydia to install an app.  

    Do not try to jailbreak if you don't like when things go to (expletive). If you need your device for your business and being without it for any period of time will cause you to loose your job - stop now.  If you get mad at your significant other at how they fold towels or put the toilet paper on a roll - Jailbreaking is probably not for your personality.  Sometimes things break and your device will likely crash more often then if it was not jailbroken.  Apple "claims" jailbreak voids your warranty if that is an issue stop now.  Note Squaretrade's warranties still cover jailbreaking.    

    Step 0 - Before you start make sure you update your iOS device to iOS 5.0.1 if you have not done so already.  If you do not know how to update your iOS device jailbreaking may not be for you.  

    If you are already updated to iOS 5.0.1 make sure you do a sync and backup of your iOS device.  If you have any photos or video you shot - transfer those now to your computer from your camera roll.  Also force quit every open App on your iOS device and then go to settings and general and then go to Reset and select "Reset Network Settings".  This will then reboot your iOS device.  Next connect your iOS device via the USB cord directly to your computer - not through a USB hub or keyboard or Monitor - right to the computer.  

     

    (To force quit the open apps - From the home screen on your iOS device - double tap the home button - a tray will appear on the bottom of the device with your apps that are open - tap and hold one of the apps.  All the apps in the tray will wiggle and you will see a red circle in the upper left with a "-" in it.  Tap on all of the red circles until all of your apps are closed.) 

     

    Step 1 - Close out iTunes on your computer. Make sure your iOS device is still turned on and connected via the USB cable - per Step 0.  

    Step 2 - Download GreenPois0n from the links below and unzip the file. 

    Download -  Max OS X (10.6+)  v0.2

    Download -  Max OS X (10.6+)  v0.3

     

    Download - Windows  v0.2

    Download - Windows  v0.3

     

    Download - Linux v0.2

    Download - Linux v0.3

      

     

    You can also go to this site for the official download page for GeenPoision

    Step 3 -  I recommend closing out all of your open programs and restarting your computer before proceeding.   If you have iTunes set to launch when you connect your iOS device - you will need to quit out of iTunes again.

     

    Step 4 - Launch - GreenPois0n Absinthe -  and select "Jailbreak"  

     

    Step 5 - Sit and Wait.  After you click Jailbreak above you will see some messages about the status of the jailbreak (see below).   

     

    Step 6 - You will eventually (about 5 to 10 minutes - could be more or a little less) see the message below.  

    You will need to unlock the screen and then find the icon on your iOS device that looks like the GreenPois0n skull and tap on it.

    Step 7 - You can then check your iOS device to find the Cydia App - which should be brown with a white circle and logo in the circle.  If the Cydia app appears all white - this is not unusual.  You likely will not be able to launch the cydia app if it is white.  Simply power down (off) your iOS device and then start it back up (turn on).  When it reboots - the Cydia app should now be brown. 

    Step 8 - Launch the Cydia App. The first time you launch it you will see a message "Preparing Filesystem (cydia weill exit when complete)" - and per the message Cydia will quit out / exit when done.  Once it does this - relaunch Cydia.  The second time you launch it you will be asked "Who Are you?"  with the options of "User", "Hacker", "Developer" -  if you are reading this - select "User" and then tap "Done"

    Step 9 - Once it is done it will open up and you should see a screen that looks like that below. 

    One App almost everyone will want and that works on the iPhone's, iPod Touch's and the iPad is the app SBSettings.  This moves important settings / controls to the notification dock where they are always quickly available.  

    To install this app Tap on "Search" in the bottom row of Cydia and then in the search box type "SBSettings"
     

     

    Next Tap on "SBSettings" the top one - not the one any of the others.  

     
    Read the warning.  Then Tap on "Install" in the upper Right corner
     

    Then Tap on "Confirm" in the upper Right corner

     

    Then Tap on "Restart Springboard"

     

    Then in the Settings App under Notifications - Go to SBSettings and turn it to "On".

     
    Next launch the SBSettings app - and look at all the options. 

    Thats it you are now jailbroken and have your first real jailbroken app running on your device.
    Please understand sometimes installs of apps are interrupted - in which case you need to try and re-install.  Things are not as stable when you jailbreak - expect some additional crashes and conflicts between apps. Which is why if you install an app you no longer plan to use - it is best to delete said app - the more jailbroken apps you have installed - the higher the probability you will have a conflict.  
     

     
    Note: If you have an iPad - do not - repeat - do not - install Five icon dock - it will really mess up your iPad and you will need to restore it.  However that app works great on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

    Yes Virginia Force Quitting Apps does help with performance
    There is an article out there on by Fraser Speirs - which a few of you sent in links to and even John Gruber commented on and agreed with.  The Title of the Article is Misconceptions about iOS Multitasking.  In the article Fraser claims that the advice to manually force quit apps is wrong wrong wrong - and is should not be done.  Or well that is the basic jist of the article - which again John Gruber in his own article agrees with.  Well guess what - they are both wrong.  
     
    There are many instances where force quitting the apps definitely helps with overall performance.  I do not think you need to do it every day or even every other day.  But I do know and have seen great benefit when your iOS device is acting wonky - that doing a force quit of the apps improved overall performance of the iOS device. 
     
    I am not saying it will improve battery life - actually I went back and checked show notes - and any time I recommended force quitting - it had to do with apps and iOS in general not working right - not about battery life - which is something Fraser in his article gets hung up on - he looks at the battery life issue - as per why Apple Geniuses are recommending force quitting apps - and not that some apps just get corrupted when they are open and need a force quit to act better - that includes Apples own apps.  
     
    I also mentioned it was highly recommended when doing an Over the Air update to force quit all open apps as well.   
     
    So as Fraser would say - some believe it helps - he does not.  I simply say this - if your iOS device or a specific app is not acting as expected - try force quitting the apps - what harm is there in doing that.  And most people I emailed that as advice come back saying  the issues went away. 
     
    Granted - just because they force quit the apps - does not mean thats what fixed the issues - in some cases issues they had been having for weeks - I mean it is possible had they done nothing at that specific point in time the problem would have gone away on its own.  Or maybe there is a connection. Which one seems more likely.  
     
    One more thing Fraser takes for granted and/or assumes all apps behave as they are supposed to when minimized / paused / backgrounded / suspended or what ever you want to call it.  That is just plain naive thinking - apps are written by humans and there are always going to be issues. That is why Apple has the ability to force quit apps - Just Sayin.

    Ask Tii - How do I keep Apps from my wife from automatically downloading on my iOS device

    Hello Rob,

     

    I've recently found your podcast and I really enjoy listening to it.  I was hoping you could help me with something.  My wife and I both have iPhones and we have always shared the same login for iTunes and app store and we use the same computer to sync.  

     

    Well now that I sync in the cloud she still syncs on iTunes because I was afraid we would overwrite each other's back up.   I mostly like the cloud for both of us because for things like reminders and calandar, we can both enter events and the other can see instantly which is very useful. But what is bad are the times when she downloads a stupid app that I don't want, my phone will download it also.  And programs like find my iPhone no longer work properly.   

     

    So I realize that we should maybe just use two accounts but I always liked one because we could both have access to music that we bought.  

     

    So my question mainly is can we have it both ways?  

     

    Can we still enjoy the syncing of calandars/reminders and the multiple downloads of music without paying twice but also be more autonomous and not have programs like find my iPhone or find my friends all screwed up?  

     

    What should we do?  

     

    What is the best way to manage two iPhones? 

     

    Thank you in advance,
    Clayton

     

     

    Hi Clayton, 

     

    Thanks for listening to the show and for the kind words. 

     

    First the Apps download issue is easy to fix.  On your iPhone go to  

     

    Settings -->  Store --> Apps (And turn to Off) 

     

    That will keep apps from getting downloaded automatically when you wife downloads them. 

     

    For Find my iPhone - that two should work fine on multiple devices. 

     

    Check your location services and make sure they are turned on. 

     

    Settings --> Locations Services --> (Scroll Down) Find My iPhone --> (Turn ON) 

     

    Let me know if these changes help.


    Regards,

    Rob W

    Tell Tii - Emoji Keyboard

    Hey Rob, 

     

    I don't know if you had mentioned this yet but, I have found an emoji keyboard.  

    To find it go to: 

     

    Settings --> General --> Keyboard --> Internaltional Keyboards --> Add New Keyboard 

     

    Then scroll down to Emoji and tap on it.  

     

    Then the next time you open a keyboard if you tap on the internation symbol next to the microphone it will toggle to the emoji keyboard.

    Ask Tii - Resetting Diagnostics & Usage Data

    Hi Rob,

    Is there any way to delete diagnostic & usage data from my phone?

    32G Iphone 4.

    Thanks!

    James

     

    Hi James, 

     

    First for those that do not know where to find their Diagnostic & Data Usage info go to: 

     

    Settings --> General --> About --> Diagnostic & Usage  

     

    Then make sure you have "Don't send" selected - this keeps info from getting out of your phone if you don't want others (Carrier IQ / Apple) to see your diagnostic info.   

     

    Next Select "Diagnostic & Usage Data" to see what type of info has or would have been sent.  

     

    The only real way to delete this data is to 1. make sure "Don't send" is selected - and then 2. to do a sync with iTunes.  After the sync with iTunes the data will be gone.  

    (You could also do an "Erase all content and settings" but that seems like major over kill and is not recommended)


    Please Note - this is different than your Cellular Data.  For resetting Cellular usage data go to:

     

    Settings Apps --> General --> Usage --> Cellular Usage --> Reset Statistics 

     

    I Hope that helps.

    Ask Tii - Should I use one iTunes account for multiple iOS devices.
    Hi rob,
    Should I use one iTunes account for my iPhone and iPad or a different one for each, I  upgraded to ios5 on both . What's best considering iCloud?
    Not sure how all that works,

    Hi Steve,

    I recommend you use one iTunes account for all your iOS devices - that way you can share the apps purchased.


    Then you can set up iMessage with different emails for each device - so you can still get iMessages to just one device.  This is particulary useful if you have multiple family members each with their own iOS device and you want to be able to iMessage between devices.  

    Personally I have 5 iOS devices sharing the same iTunes account.  And all that are on iOS 5 - are set up with different email addresses for iMessage - but again they all share the same iTunes account and all hve access to the same apps. 

    Regards,

    Rob W
