New standards to limit Apple iPod volume in Europe

September 29, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Media players like Apple’s iPod will be set by default to a new, lower, “safe” volume level in Europe, thanks to a new rule passed by the European Commission Monday.

The new safety standards were approved in an effort to limit hearing loss among users of MP3 players. The executive of the European Union said that the default setting is designed to discourage people from listening to devices at “dangerously high volumes.”

A recent study that listening to music on players at high volume over a sustained period can lead to permanent hearing damage, and that 5 percent to 10 percent of listeners, or 10 million people, are at risk.

The rule states that listening at 80 decibels adjusted should not exceed 40 hours per week, while 89 decibels should be limited to 5 hours each week. Settings on devices like iPods will be based on those criteria. Read more…

Here is the revealed surprise from iH8sn0w for iPhone users 3GS. This is a new tool, integrated in the next version of iREB which will save the ECID Firmware 3.1

This way you can downgrade from the future 3.2 In 3.1, despite the various blocks of Apple. However, there are already several options to save your certificate, especially one that saurik offers via Cydia, but it seems that iH8sn0w will preserve the possibility to perform the downgrade to both users and those with Jailbroken iPhone firmware original.

Fool Proof Tutorial: Activate MMS 100% On Firmware 3.0

September 26, 2009 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

I have noticed a lot of people having trouble with mms working. I have written fool proof instructions to get your mms 100% working if you are using an iPhone 3G or a 3GS. If the following does not get your mms working I suggest you call AT&T and make sure they didn’t forget about unblocking mms on your account. Of course you can tell them a little white lie when they ask you if your on firmware 3.1.

Note: If you do the following be sure to uninstall any tethering hack you have installed on your jailbroken iphone. Whether it be the mms/tethering hack from cydia or just the downloaded mobile config files from websites. Uninstall all of them and the reset your network settings before doing the following.

The download below is the 5.5 ipcc carrier settings update AT&T pushed out today to enable mms. The file has been edited by stealthbravo over at modmyi for us users who are wanting to stay on firmware 3.0. The edited file adds the internet tethering option and cellular data network settings along with the correct mms settings. The official unedited file adds mms but you don’t get the tethering option or the ability to edit your cellular data that is why if your like me, you will use this very helpful file that adds the extra features.

  • Download Edited IPCC File HERE

After downloading the ipcc wait… You still have to do a few extra steps before using it because itunes doesn’t allow you to update your carrier settings using the ipcc file. Do the following exactly as stated: Read more…
