I have converted a xvid file to the correct format for iphone4, so it should be able to play but it seems that when I try to transfer it from itunes to my phone it just says that the format is not allowed on iphone.
the video is in the correct file format but itunes is not letting me transfer the file to the iphone anyway.
wonder why?
Do my phone have to be jailbroken?

Havent been following this but is there an untethered jailbreak for the latest firmware?

That's good to know. I've just been unplugging it. I had tried some script that uses putty I found on the XBMC forum for my PC but it didn't work.

The latest update fixed library scanning for music. Unfortunately, I had a few m4a files in my library and it caused the scanning to get stuck. When I tried to exit XBMC or tell it to stop the scanning it locked up.
I didn't say it was hard, I said it was a pain. I don't want to be hanging around message boards everyday to be notified of an update (*ahem*) and the mess around with terminal to install said updates. I've been spoiled by Cydia.Marty Chinn said:

Yes, XBMC is more flexible; I wish Plex could work with a NAS :/

Has anyone's iPhone 4 battery life gone to shit after jail breaking? It seems to be draining faster than it normally world.

Official builds aren't too frequent. They may be a bit more frequent for iOS early on since they're still getting some things fixed, but you really shouldn't need to upgrade XBMC very often. My HTPC running XBMC hasn't been updated in ages. Plus, it's like a quick one line command to update so it's not that big of a deal. I'd hardly call it a pain.

Umm, I'm not sure what you want it to do at that point. You want it to exit XBMC? That would be terrible. It makes more sense how it is. You're at the root, if you hit menu, it brings up the playlist. That makes much more sense than exiting XBMC all together. That's like hitting Home on the iPhone at the Home screen and it shuts down.

nice thanks
Still rocking 4.0.1 and want to update with my jailbreak (mostly for BiteSMS!) in tact - should I go 4.2.1 and use this or 4.3 and use this?
My iPhone is tied to my Windows 7 desktop, but I can use my girlfriends Macbook if I need to use OSX for the latter 4.3 one...?

Has anybody else noticed a hit to their battery performance with the latest jb? I have SSH turned off un SBSettings but it is still draining way faster than on 4.1

I usually keep my brightness at 50% and I just noticed that I didn't adjust it after the jailbreak. Could be that keeping it at 100% eats the battery more than I'm used to.

Yep...in the hour or so since adjusting it the battery has gone back to its old ways. Amazing that the default setting causes such a precipitous decline in performance.
Why can't I see http://greenpois0n.com/ ?! Not working for me on any of my machines, ahh!

So is the rc5_b4 the latest beta? the best one to jailbreak it with?
For those that have just jb'd their iPads, here are a few apps I found on Cydia that may be helpful. They don't make it very easy to search for iPad-specific apps and things are not always named what you might think. All of these are free and don't affect performance in any way that I've seen.
NoMute for Ipad changes the switch back to orientation lock. Not quite perfect as it seems to also activate mute still, or at least partially.
NoLockScreen pressing the home button from sleep will go directly to the springboard. Honestly, I don't even know why there is a lock screen for iPad. Makes sense on the phone where it's needed to avoid pocket calls, but i can't think of a single time I've actually required the lock screen on the iPad. Even LockInfo can just be activated from the springboard.
Pull to Refresh Safari adds the pull down to refresh action for Safari as on the Twitter app. Not iPad specific but cool.
Pull to Refresh Mail same for Mail
AirVideoEnabler for ATV owners. Any app can use airplay to send videos to ATV, including safari. Also known as PornAddictionEnabler.
Anyone have any other good tweaks?

Thanks fella, I tried that link too (by using Google cache to get onto the main site) but it just won't load at home! Not sure why. Have downloaded it here and emailed back home though, thankscaliblue15 said:

My friend brought an iPhone over here to Vietnam, but then updated it to 4.2.1 losing his unlock. I've rejailbroken it using greenpoison but we can't activate it in iTunes as we don't have an AT&T sim over here. Is there any hacktivation methods available?
Can I download all the Cydia apps I have bought on my iPhone 4 onto my iPad without buying them again?
Edit: I can get onto greenpoison.com but I can't download the app. I'm on Mac and ready to jailbreak my iPad, what do I do now that I can't download the latest beta from their site?

Maybe it's just me, but my Cydia was updated from the 4.1 limerain cydia. Still is slow, and reloading data, but liked the way queuing was now handled.

I jailbroke my iPod Touch about a week ago, and after reading your comment I decided to test out iBooks. Yep, my purchased books are giving me a configuration error. That's not good. Looks like if I want to buy another book I should do it through the Kindle App.
This has been my first jailbreak experience and there are some things I'm really liking:
- LockInfo - this is just beautiful.
- Activator - I setup swiping motions on the status bar to activate the multitask bar. I like this much better than double-clicking the home button.
- HDR Photo activation for iPod Touch - Because, seriously? Come on.
- BEING ABLE TO ACTIVATE THE BATTERY METER AS A PERCENTAGE IN THE STATUS BAR ON AN IPOD TOUCH WHY IS THIS SEEMINGLY SIMPLE OPTION ONLY AVAILABLE ON IPHONES, APPLE?
But there have been some disappointments:
- Stability Issues - I've had a couple SpringBoard crashes, not too big of a deal. But I had my first outright freeze up this morning that I had to do a hard reset on. I'm hoping this doesn't become a common occurrence.
- gpSPhone - I can't get it to work. I really wanted to play WarioWare and Rhythm Tengoku on my iPod. Anyone else had any luck with it on iOS 4.2.1?
- iBooks - aforementioned. it's broken now.

Alright so I jailbroke my phone just now, and was in the process of getting my albums back on my phone when I noticed that some of the artwork is missing. So I go ahead and redownload the album art (get album art doesn't work since the messed up albums are japanese CD's I ripped) and set it, but what iTunes does is separate several tracks from the album and display those tracks alongside the rest of the album in iTunes. I'm way too OCD to cope with this crap, is there any way to remerge these tracks back into the original album?

for those of you with a jailbroken iPad and an iPhone 4, i highly recommend a cydia app called "RetinaPad".
what it does is allow you to display iPhone-only apps at 2x using the Retina display resolution. so far all the apps I've tried work perfectly including some of the newer stuff like NBA Jam.
it's 2.99 but totally worth it if you can't stand the look of iPhone-only retina apps being scaled up using the shitty iPhone 3G/3GS resolution. it's truly amazing to the point where I don't even care to rebuy any HD versions of my iPhone apps because they look so crisp.

To answer my own question, managed to get round this by using Redsn0w, updating his baseband to 6.15.00, getting redsn0w to hacktivate and then being able to install ultrasn0w unlock. Success.
