I'm really looking forward to using MyWi OnDemand so that I can tether my ipad 3 to my iphone 4s using bluetooth when ever I want to use the internet. And the best part, as the name implies, is that because it is on demand you can leave it on with out draining the battery of the iphone. Right now if I want to tether to my iphone I have to make it a wifi hotspot and that eats up the battery like crazy plus I have to remember to turn it on and off.

Honestly that is what I use it for. For example TomTom costs $45, so before I put down that kind of money I want to make sure the thing works like I want.

Once I know it will do what I want then I'm willing to pay so I can get the updates.

i understand where you are coming from but illegal is still illegal
i tend to just research the product online like i would anything else i buy...

Devs really should just have a lite/ trial version of there apps. Or even better, apple should have a short return policy.
 
iProtect is one of my favorites. It password protects specific apps you'd like to protect (in case someone wants to borrow your iPad aka they go through your iMessages and email like if it were their business.)

FakeClockUp is also nice, it speeds up UI without the need of overclocking or anything.

any similar app to iprotect but free?
 
Word of warning for those people who get Springtomize 2 for their iPad. In the settings for the lockscreen, do not toggle the option to hide the unlock knob. Because once you turn off your screen, you are never getting back into your iPad. It doesn't hide the knob, it removes it. Making it nearly impossible to swipe-to-unlock. Luckily for me, my friend messaged me on iMessenger while I was struggling to get back into my iPad and I was able to swipe into that.

This happened on my iPad 3.

Ha! Ya I made that mistake once as well.
 
I posted in the broken apps thread but Ill post it here too since its mentioned in here.

After my iPad would have a ton of problems on a hard reset and I deleted tweaks until the problem was fixed, and from all my testing it seems like iProtect is what was causing the problems.

Has anyone else actually installed it and hard reset their iPad yet?

You should only hide the "swipe to unlock" if you set another way to unlock your iPad by using activator.
 
Gpsphone (GameBoy Advanced Emulator) works great with iPad/2
Another vote for f.lux (can't use LCD devices without it)
 
hi can anyone recommend an app to use face time over 3g connection ?
and also an app to close all of the running application at once ?

for the iPad 3 of course.
thank you so much.

3g unrestrictor
My3G

Close all background apps on my phone i use "killbackground" gives you an X icon in appswitcher section
 
thief!

dont use installous guys. People make a living developing apps. You could essentially be taking money away from some guy supporting his family..

You are correct, but the digital age has brought about a desensitization to free music, movies and software. I am sure all the peopkle who use installous to get someones hard work and investment for free would not go into a shop and steal. What the answer is i dont know but it will get worse (for dev teams) with the crowded marketplace and some poor app quality.

i know right. its crazy. most people try to rationalize with others/themselves saying "well id never have bought this app in the first place"

well if i never would have bought a Ferrari, and i steal one.. and tell others that i wonder how well they would receive it. i know thats an extreme, but c'mon people, show a little backbone. at least go and purchase the apps you enjoy and keep.


having the ablilty to install pirated apps is the biggest reason as to why people think of jailbreaking your device in a neggative way. That reason alone could cause the feds to appeal their ruling on jailbreaking being legal.

The digital age has nothing to do with it. There has always been, and will always be, a certain class of people who are so amoral that the only thing that keeps them from committing crimes is the threat of being caught. If the odds of them being caught is low, then they indulge their selfish instincts.

Absolutely terrible analogy. If you steal a Ferrari, regardless of whether you would have bought it or not, you've removed someone's physical property. That actually carries worth. On the other hand, downloading a pirated app ONLY affects the developer if you would have otherwise paid for it. Just because it may seem amoral to get something for nothing, don't make the mistake of immediately assuming the developer has lost a sale.

Oh the logic of people who pirate apps :confused:


That app you have, is suppose to cost something. Money carries worth. It can still have worth,Just because it's not physical.
Justify it how every you want, it's simple. They have something on their device that you are suppose to pay for.

to be honest, your analogy carries too much worth, and that is why in my opinion, it really isn't "suitable" to the whole pirated apps thing. You're looking at the price and value of the Ferrari, but the guy behind the Ferrari (owner) could be so rich that he doesn't care and he buys another one, or he cares enough to buy a cheaper car. IN either case, he occurs a loss, but he accepts it and moves on which is counter to what you said, i know your meaning, but for all your pirates]

If it's some poor dude's Ferrari then a) the situation of him getting a Ferrari is fairly unlikely, and b) if he did manage to get a Ferrari, then it would shatter him [and in terms of this example, you have a decent point].

The analogy should be more local to what we are talking about: pirated apps. Most apps cost 99c or a bit more or let's go to the extreme of a game costing $8 bucks. For the 99c, the value of the app is like picking up something in the 99c store or something. Easy In, Easy Out. You won't think twice about it because of how "worthless" it seems to be.
"It's only a dollar, it's not going to screw them [devs] up"

And the point is, if it would be "worthless" to the dev, how come you can't pay for it?

Basically, if you think pirating apps would make no difference, to the dev. it shouldn't make a difference to you.

*Note: "You" infers to "one", a person

Lol, you and I both know my point is perfectly logical, and I'm not debating the rights and wrongs of piracy, this is a different matter. I never said non-physical items don't carry worth, but there's a stark difference between removing somebody's physical belonging (they have instantly, directly lost something) to downloading a copy of something you never planned to pay for (the developer hasn't lost anything whatsoever).
 
Blablabla

Shut up already about pirating apps! Yes, it is illeagle, so what, get over it. What people do is their own dam business. Back to the topic, the only apps I even have are all on this page already. I wish I had more recomendations, but I don't. Sorry.

I agree 100%

i see your point, but i do not see your logic. That app is suppose to be paid for in order for it to be on your device. simple

steal (stl)
v. stole (stl), sto·len (stln), steal·ing, steals
v.tr.
1. To take (the property of another) without right or permission

property [ˈprɒpətɪ]
n pl -ties
1. something of value, either tangible, such as land, or intangible, such as patents, copyrights, etc.

Can someone take (steal) something that does NOT exist? And if someone can take something that does not exist what of developers that take (steal) money for apps, that are worthless? Or that generate cash transfers that are unauthorized?

Hmm I had an iPad 1 64GB 3G that I bought with IOS 3.x on it, at the time I purchased it I could use the camera connection kit to read my USB memory sticks. Apple decided that they didn't want that, and took that ability away from my iPad 1. I bought that iPad, do I actually "own" it? Or does - Apple still own it? at the time I purchased my iPad I was told that I could buy "Unlimited Data" from AT&T, and pay for it on a month by month bases....

Clearly "UNLIMITED" doesn't have a common understanding, when AT&T and Apple "LIMIT" the size of programs I can download from the App Store.

I purchased a season pass to a TV series, with the claim that each new epsoide would be downloaded by iTunes. For me this never happened, and each week I'd have to call iTunes store and try to get them to release a two week old show to my iTunes account, so that I could have it. :mad:
