I have several to do it.
The one that pisses me off the most is not having "Lockinfo".
Another one is to be able to share your internet with a PC without begging to your provider.
And the list goes on. (facetime on 3G...)
- IBM 13y agoThose things are already possible without jailbreaking.
- trauco 13y agoThe hotspot function is carrier-dependent.
- kalleboo 13y agoDepending on what kind of relationship Apple have with your carrier, different features are disabled or not. For instance, LTE is disabled unless an operator has their network whitelisted by Apple.
- DanBC 13y agoiPhone on O2 in UK can share connection with PC. iPhone on GiffGaff (who use O2 networks) in UK cannot share connection with PC. So, those things are already possible without jailbreaking if you're prepared to change carrier.
- archagon 13y agoIn regards to sharing, I believe your provider can detect this and charge you more.
- kalleboo 13y agoI'm on an MVNO who doesn't care, but the settings for the network the MVNO runs ontop of override it with a different APN. It's times like this I really hate Apple's operator-relationship BS.
- girvo 13y agoI hate how they make it super hard if not impossible to override the APNs yourself... I change carriers every month, and do all sorts of odd stuff with my SIMs, and my iPhone chokes on them because of it :(
- superuser2 13y ago>I change carriers every month I'd be surprised if there were more than a handful of people actually doing this, which would explain why your use case doesn't get substantial engineering/UX resources.
- kalleboo 13y agoThey don't need any engineering/UX, they just need to stop locking down all the settings. Android and every dumbphone I ever owned had no problems with this.
- superuser2 13y agoAre the settings locked down or do they just not exist? Apple would have to create and test the interface, make sure it's not possible to disable your device with it, etc. Which is a small thing, but easy to miss when there's no obvious need for it (except, of course, a few edge cases).
- girvo 13y agoOf course my use case is very much and edge case, but if they just let me have access to the damned settings it wouldn't be a problem. It's my one gripe with my iPhone
- ValentineC 13y ago> I change carriers every month Is this because of travel and being in a different country?
- archagon 13y agoMy understanding was that you could change them yourself using either the iPhone Configuration Utility or http://www.unlockit.co.nz http://www.unlockit.co.nz. Has something changed in that regard?
- cjfont 13y agoCan you elaborate? How can they detect this other than using methods such as looking at your user-agent or TTL, both of which could be controlled on a jail-broken device?
- DrJokepu 13y agoThe traffic patterns of a mobile phone and a desktop computer are very different, even if all you do is browsing.
- cjfont 13y agoTo my knowledge this is usually because the server responds to the browser's user-agent and serves content appropriate for the mobile device. If you override the user-agent and mimic a desktop browser, how would the traffic pattern be different then? EDIT: I meant to state if you were to override the desktop's user-agent to mimic a mobile device while tethered.
