No Apple Support For Carrier IQ In iOS 5

Let�s face it, we all love our smartphones but the one thing we don�t like is the key logging software such as Carrier IQ that is added without our knowledge. The main perpetrator in the Carrier IQ saga is Google�s Android Software which reportedly monitors SMS, web usage data and any keystrokes it feels like logging. We also reported not so long ago that Carrier IQ was also keeping tabs on the iPhone which has added even more fuel to the fire. The iOS iteration even though it is not as daunting as the Google Android still poses as an invasion of privacy. Apple has confirmed that they are currently in the phasing out process of the controversial software and that they will be completely removing it in a future software update. They have not stated when this future update will be and iOS 5.1 has already been sent out to developers but whether it has been removed or not we don�t know. Apple did release a statement in relation to this matter and this is what they had to say: We stopped supporting Carrier IQ with iOS 5 in most of our products and will remove it completely in a future software update. With any diagnostic data sent to Apple, customers must actively opt-in to share this information, and if they do, the data is sent in an anonymous and encrypted form and does not include any personal information. We never recorded keystrokes, messages or any other personal information for diagnostic data and have no plans to ever do so. If you do have an iPhone or other iDevice and you want to make sure that you are not being watched over you can do this manually by opening the settings icon and going to General > About > Diagnostics & Usage > and opt for Don�t Send. This will ensure that all your information and data is kept private until Apple completely remove the Carrier IQ from their software.

Hacker Runs Unsigned Code on iOS Thanks To Security Vulnerability

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNZ3VJmyOUtME-1HtCQF6eee5ewA5cqySSSVzNaTpgaGEUm4pT_ZfXE4eQCETCg20O-2EInE4M9IKTDRqVn3msOOcf-C9uuIhO1jzhK5aj2YdxlupYejfpWStGV3gRBg3GOyIhkov7s_M/s1600/ios_5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="144" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNZ3VJmyOUtME-1HtCQF6eee5ewA5cqySSSVzNaTpgaGEUm4pT_ZfXE4eQCETCg20O-2EInE4M9IKTDRqVn3msOOcf-C9uuIhO1jzhK5aj2YdxlupYejfpWStGV3gRBg3GOyIhkov7s_M/s320/ios_5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Apple, as you know, has always been very proud of the way the iPhone handles security but a hacker has found a major iPhone security vulnerability that allows unsigned code to run on iOS. Forbes has reported that security researcher Charlie Miller has released a video that shows one of Apple�s iPhones executing unsigned code. In simple terms, he has made the iPhone do things that Apple never authorized. What Miller did was make a simple stock checker app that he had approved with the App Store. Running this app in the normal way doesn�t do anything that it shouldn�t, but when Miller activates something on a server the app accesses he get access to the iPhone remotely and is able to launch apps, make the iPhone vibrate, browse the iPhone�s file system and even download the contents of the address book. This type of flaw could create a lot of nightmares for people. Apple has since removed the app from the App Store and Miller has not released information on how this hack works. He is giving Apple the chance to plug the hole in iOS 5.0.1. He did however; state that the flaw is part of Nitro, a JavaScript engine added in iOS 4.3. This information in the wrong hands could means that malicious users could get an app through Apple�s review process and then systematically steal data from people�s iPhones worldwide. Apple is working hard on their iOS 5.0.1 release where they are hoping to solve the current battery issues and we are sure they will be working on this security issue too. Charlie Miller has released a video showing what he was able to achieve so if you want to know exactly what this security vulnerability could mean take a look below. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ynTtuwQYNmk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

With over 25 million users already enjoying the delights that iOS 5 has to bring we decided to take a look at exactly what users can expect to gain over their previous version iOS 4. With iOS 5 users get the newly designed Notification Center and improved camera along with iCloud and some less publicized changes that have taken place. One of the changes we want to tell you about is the increase in web browsing speed. Pages now load more than twice as fast using iOS 5 than when running iOS 4. These statistics actually come courtesy of New Relic who actually performed side by side tests on 3,000 web app using Safari 5.1 on iOS 5 and Safari 5.0 on iOS 4. New Relic haven�t however stated what device they used but we are guessing that it was an iPhone 4 or iPod judging by the infographics they released. This information showed that on average, pages load in 9.6 seconds using iOS 4 and just 4.1 seconds when running iOS 5. Apple have always spent a lot of time with the rendering engine that is built into Mobile Safari and it is a good thing too. Even if you don�t upgrade your iPhone to the new iPhone 4S you will still see an increase in web performance if you update your software. iOS 5 is available as a free update for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

Google has become a part of most people�s lives and let�s face it, most of us can�t do without it. Google search is the most commonly used item on the internet and with smartphones now connecting to the internet Google is always in demand. Apple does give its users a couple of ways to use Google in its iOS software and on all iOS devices. This is done through the search bar in Mobile Safari and the Spotlight screen just to the left of the home screen. Both of these options work very well and they are easy to use but if you want something more there is always Google�s own iOS app. If you want something more there is a brand new app called StatusGoogle and this also makes use of the Notification Center. This brand new app can�t be found in the App Store though and it can only be downloaded from Cydia which is the jailbreak app store. That�s right, StatusGoogle is a jailbreak tweak and when you download this it adds a new search bar to the notification center which is iOS 5�s new way of handling all your notifications. Once you install StatusGoogle all you have to do is type in your search and hit return and you will automatically be in mobile safari with your Google search loading automatically. We do hope that Apple will begin to allow third party app store apps to take advantage of the notification center soon but until then if you want to take advantage of it you need to jailbreak your idevice.

iPhone 5 Launch Could Be Held On Cupertino Campus

The event is thought to be held on the 4th of October and at Apple�s Cupertino Campus. No one knows the reason for this but one possibility is that schedules may be clashing. It is believed that Oracle has already booked the YBCA for October 4, which leaves Apple without their traditional venue. Another reason could be the fact that Apple need to be a little more flexible with their venue in case their launch date changes. There have been some reports that have suggested that the fifth generation handset might not be ready in time and that a staggered launch with a less dramatic iPhone 4S will be revealed first. Apple could of course just be opting for a less dramatic event for the newly appointed Tim Cook to make his debut. He is expected to be taking center stage along with the iPhone 5 itself and we are sure that all eyes will be on his performance especially after what his predecessor has done. Invitations for the launch event have not yet been issued so again this is rumor and speculation and we will have to wait to see what the official reports are when the time comes.

This could actually hint towards a possible iPhone 5 and iOS 5 launch during this time. This news was announced on the AppleInsider and this report suggests that the people in Cupertino are gearing up for the launch of a new products or perhaps products, namely the iPhone 5 and iOS 5. AppleInsider reported on their blog that Apple are denying requests for employee vacations during the second week in October which hints at the fact that the company are anticipating an influx of customers to its stores around that time related to the availability of the new iOS 5 and the fifth generation iPhone. In some locations, vacation time has been block out from the 9th to the 15th of October. There are several independent reports that also indicate this and the strongest of these comes from Al Gore who was heard saying that the new iPhones are coming in October. All Things D�s which is by John Paczkowski claimed that Apple would be holding a media event on the 4th of October where the next generation iPhone would be announced by new CEO Tim Cook with a launch a week or so later. Apple has also announced that they are resetting iCloud and iTunes Match data which is another hint that they are getting ready for iOS 5 and the iPhone 5. There are reports that we might just see two new iPhones being launched with one being a low end iPhone 4 look-alike which will be aimed at people who can�t afford the aggressively priced one. Again until everything has been announced and the official launch date arrives we are pretty much still in the dark about everything but one thing is for sure, things are heating up and something is about to happen.

Thankfully all these issues have now been resolved and Redsn0w 0.9.8b6 has been released. This new release of Redsn0w, according to MuscleNerd shouldn�t be too far from the final 0.9.8 release which will be released once the final version of iOS 5 is released. MuscleNerd is a well known member of the iOS jailbreaking community that have been developing Redsn0w over the years. The iPhone Dev-Team Blog had this to say: We�ve released redsn0w 0.9.8b6 to jailbreak iOS 5 beta 6 (point it directly at the beta 6 IPSW). Two important notes about this version: 1. Please let your device boot normally to iOS 5 beta 6 and do a clean shutdown before jailbreaking. 2. Boot logos have intentionally been disabled for now, so you�ll see a black screen on tethered boots (you can re-enable logos or verbose boot with command-line options if you really want them back). Due to increased sensitivity to abrupt file system shutdowns in iOS 5 beta 6, it is very important that you do a clean shutdown before running redsn0w. The previous version of Redsn0w functioned with iOS 5 beta 6, some users reported several stability issues with jailbroken devices on a daily basis. If you have already jailbroken your beta 6 device with Redsn0w you might want to re-jailbreak it by restoring it through iTunes and then running Redsn0w 0.9.8b6 again. There are no visual changes in this new version but it will fix any stability issues you might have experienced. This update is simply aimed at fixing bugs. It is still a tethered jailbreak and it does not make any advancement towards an untethered iOS 5 jailbreak. It is unlikely that an untethered jailbreak will make an appearance until the final version if iOS 5 is released. This version of Redsn0w is aimed at developers who are using the iOS 5 beta.

This can be done using Redsn0w. Now users can also jailbreak iOS 5 beta 5 using Sn0wbreeze thanks to a new version that was released earlier this week. Sn0wbreeze version 2.8 beta 5 was announced earlier this week by iH8sn0w in a statement on Pastie. This is a website that is often used to share code between developers. The main things for users is that they will be able to jailbreak iOS 5 beta 5 and they will be able to save and create custom jailbroken ISW firmware files. They can also create custom packages and change the boot screen logo and later use this on any supported devices. Once users have obtained a modified IPSW file they can simple restore it using iTunes with their device in DFU mode. All the instructions on how to do this are provided by the tool itself which is great. One thing that must be pointed out, is the fact that this is a tethered jailbreak and this means that users have to plug their devices into their PC�s every time it loses power or restarts. Users also have to run iBooty which is included in the Sn0wbreeze package every time the device is powered on. This may sound painful but it is the best way to jailbreak iOS 5 beta 5 at the moment and there doesn�t seem to be any untethered jailbreak solution in the pipeline that is going to be offered any time soon. The untethered jailbreak is not expected to make an appearance until the final version of iOS 5 is officially released this fall. This jailbreak method won�t work on the iPad 2 or the iPhone 3GS with the old baseband but it should work perfectly with all other devices.

This new build is expected to include some minor enhancements to the next generation mobile OS. The official release for iOS 5 is expected to be September 2011. All those who are registered with Apple as developers can now download this new release so that they can provide Apple with feedback on the features of iOS 5. Apple are encouraging all developers to download using the over the air method so that real feedback can be provided on how to improve this feature before the official launch. If you have a jailbroken device you won�t be able to use the over the air download method and you will have to download it through Apple�s developer website. In order to download the beta version of iOS 5 you need to have an Apple developer account and this costs just $99 per year. iOS 5 was unveiled at the WWDC and has some long awaited new features including a new notification system and an iOS only instant messaging service. There are plenty of other new features also included and this promises to be a great iOS. Apple has also released a new version of iTunes 10.5 beta which you will need to sync iOS 5 beta devices. Registered developers can download everything they need from the Apple developers website and if you have a developer account you are encouraged to help with this release to ensure that the new version of iOS 5 is as good as it can be.

To solve this problem Redsn0w 0.9.8b2 has been released which fixes these issues. According to the iPhone Dev Team they have updated Redsn0w for use with iOS 5 beta and if you have already jailbroken it you don�t need to re-jailbreak just use the updated version to boot tethered. iOS 5 beta 3 which was released to developers a few days ago can also be jailbroken using this version of Redsn0w. Redsn0w is an easy way to jailbreak your device but it does require a moderate amount of knowledge on how to perform basic maintenance tasks in iOS. This is also a tethered jailbreak so it means that users will have to plug their iDevices into a computer running Redsn0w every time iOS starts up in order to boot into a jailbroken state. In order to install and activate iOS 5 legally you need to be registered with the Apple developer program. This costs just $99 per year and anyone with internet connection can apply. The Redsn0w jailbreak is aimed at developers only.

iPhone 5 To Have LED Indicator For Notifications

This is similar to what is already available on the BlackBerry and will be invoked whenever a user receives a text message something that uses the notification service that is built into the iOS. This sounds like a great idea and a flashing LED light would make is so much easier for users to see if anything needed their attention without having to touch their phones. iOS 5 was announced last month and this took notifications to a whole new level so this rumor is another great addition if it�s true. The next generation iPhone which could be the iPhone 5 is due to be announced at Apple�s yearly music event and this will also include the new iPod and the final version of iOS 5. Many people are suggesting that Apple will focus on improving the next iPhone by increasing the camera size and adding a dual A5 process to give the phone a performance boost. There are always rumors circulating when it comes to new Apple products and until the official unveiling we really can�t tell what the next generation iPhone will be like or the features it will have.

What�s New With iOS 5 Beta 2

This post includes a video highlighting all the enhancements of the new version at the end of the post. The first thing we noticed was the wireless synch which is now live in Beta 2. This is great because now all users have to do is plug in their device once and set it up through iTunes to sync it and then when you device is synching you will see an icon appearing on the iOS status bar. The lock screen design in Beta 2 is also slightly different. The notifications are now more prominent on the lock screen and there is a pull down menu allowing users to access other notifications and take action on them. There is also an enhancement for those who like to do tasks in landscape mode. In previous versions text was almost invisible when the keyboard was enabled but now the virtual keyboard automatically slides out of the way whenever the text underneath is interacted with. iOS 5 is due to be publically released to the general public in the autumn and there are some new devices anticipated too. iOS 5 has brought several improvements and Beta 2 has patched the vulnerability that allowed iOS 5 to be unlocked using a GEVEY Sim card. iOS 5 is currently only available to those who are registered with Apple. The video below will walk you through all that is new in iOS 5 Beta 2. <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pVKjMA_Ocz0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

iOS 5 Will Stop SHSH Firmware Downgrades

This is really bad news for all those jailbreakers and it comes as the Dev Team begin explaining what Apple�s iOS 5 betas are revealing. It seems Apple is determined to combat SHSH blobs moving forward and Apple are aggressively combating the replay attacks that have allowed users to use iTunes to restore to previous firmware versions using saved SHSH blobs. Apple has stated to make more use of the APTicket once you install iOS 5 and beyond and they will be checking on each boot of an iDevice. The problem for jailbreakers is that the APTicket will be uniquely generated every time an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is restored and this means that existing methods of saving SHSH blobs will no longer work. Apple are also making sure that they are the only ones that will know what the APTicket should be. APTIcket is changing starting with iOS 5 and it is being used like the BBTicket. The LLB and iBoot stages of the boot sequence are also being refined to depend on the authenticity of the APTicket. This is going to happen at every boot and because Apple has the crypto keys to properly sign the per-restore APTicket, replayed APTickets are useless. According to the Dev Team this points to a new approach from Apple but until Apple brings out the final release of iOS 5 the Dev Team are still guessing at what Apple are planning to do. There is still a little bit of good news for jailbreakers and Geohot�s Limera1n which takes effect before any APTicket checks are made could still provide a tethered jailbreak solution. As this is also only going to affect restores starting at iOS 5 and onward Geohot�s Limera1n exploit will work and so should any other tethered jailbreaks.
