Wishing for Easy Wi-Fi off toggle for Apple devices

Apple needs to create an easy and legitimate way to easily turn off Wi-Fi functions in iOS. Preferably from the Control Center or Notification Center.

I frequently find myself in an elevator/stairwell/another location that is near a commonly used Wi-Fi point I find that often times the signal is not strong enough yet I am not out of range enough for the iPhone to switch to cellular.

This causes the problem of my Apple device searching for networks that it really shouldn’t be because they are too far through the walls yet the device does not switch over to LTE in a prompt manner

I need to be able to turn Wi-Fi off with a button right away in a quick manner. SBSettings, CCControls, and a few other tweaks allow this to be done easily but require a jailbroken phone. I should not have to jailbreak my device to do this!
Wake up Apple!

P.S. – I also don’t need a bunch of reminders from apple about how much better wi-fi is than cellular when I disable it. Sometimes you just don’t need your phone searching for networks that are out of range or nonexistent depending on your location? In Minneapolis with a solid AT&T 4G LTE network I am not in the least worried about stressing the grid out.

iOS 7 Jailbreak Released!

SO an iOS 7 Jailbreak has been released, and it pretty much came out of nowhere.  There was no warning and it just appeared on the internet when the eva8ers posted it and it began to circulate.  The evasi0n7 software can be found here

 

 

Apple Releases iOS 6.1.3: Evasi0n Jailbreak Loophole Closed

So our friends at Apple finally got round to patching up that Evasi0n JB that came out a bit over a month ago. With the release of iOS 6.1.3 it appears that the boys from Cupertino have removed at least one of the five loopholes used by developers to create an iOS 6 jailbreak in the first place.  While this certainly means that you will not be able to jailbreak your phone on iOS 6.1.3, it certainly doesn’t mean that you can’t keep your phone on iOS 6.1.2 and continue to use everything as normal.  Though it may be much tougher in the future to jailbreak devices, hopefully the process never stops.

Evasi0n iOS 6.1 Jailbreak Released!

Finally! Within the last thirty minutes the team over at Evasi0n has released their long anticipated Jailbreak of iOS 6.1!

Download at your own risk, but at this point the developers of these Jailbreaks are not messing around. They WANT to make money off the Cydia store, and they cannot do that without a reliable jailbreak.

Untethered Jailbreak Finally available for iOS 5.1.1!

It took a while, but @pod2g and his crew have finally come out with an un tethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1, and I must say it is the slickest I have seen yet.  I jailbroke my iPhone 4 using Absinthe 2.0.1 a bit over 24 hours ago and am very impressed with the reliability so far.  Additionally I found zero slowdown took place, which has been a real problem with many of the jailbreaks that have come out with iOS5.

A few things to note about this jailbreak:

  • It will take a long time.  Instead of having iTunes open up after you jailbreak the phone so that you can restore from a backup, the Absinthe software does everything by itself with no need for iTunes.
  • Make sure you are using Absinthe 2.0.1 and NOT 2.0.0 which was released earlier yesterday.  Version 2.0.1 can be located here.
