The FSM Experiment: No Jailbreak For A Week- Day 7

One long week. Well I didn’t quite make the full week, I was a few hours shy. But, how many others can say they went a whole 7 days with no jailbreak?

The last day. Glad to have it behind me.

One long week. Well I didn’t quite make the full week, I was a few hours shy. But, how many others can say they went a whole 7 days with no jailbreak? When they have a jailbreakable device, but are just proving a point and doing an experiment? Let me tell you, it was a long and boring week with my phone, thats for sure. Knowing that all I had to do was run a quick little app, and I would be back to tweaking my device, how I want it….tough.

The FSM Experiment: No Jailbreak For A Week- Day 6

Well the weeks pretty much done, and I have been on stock firmware 3.1.2 for 6 whole days. And let me say, after being jailbroken, since 1.1.4, this was a big change.

Well the weeks pretty much done, and I have been on stock firmware 3.1.2 for 6 whole days. And let me say, after being jailbroken, since 1.1.4, this was a big change. Not quite the let down that I was expecting, but close. Some things came as a surprise, like battery life, and ram usage. My Ram usage was hovering around 80 megs free, according to the iStat app, which is actually a little lower than when jailbroke, but that’s probably because I always close out the iPod app and Safari when jailbroke.

The FSM Experiment: No Jailbreak For A Week – Day 5

Day 5, dead and buried

Made it thru day 5, no sweat. Found the easiest way to deal with the stock phone, is to just set it aside, and leave it alone. While at work, there’s no easy way to quickly respond to texts and calls, and my laptop takes care of IM’s. So the device didn’t get used to much, just ignored. Even at lunch, I just chose to leave it at my desk. I did get 3and half hours of usage and 25 hours standby, and just got the 20 percent warning. And none of the usage was music. Thats talk and surfing, all over 3G mainly. While not spectacular, not any better than my results when jailbroken.

The FSM Experiment: No Jailbreak For A Week – Day 4

I made it over the hump, 4 very long days of no jailbreak. Not sure how others that upgrade to quick and lose they jailbreak deal with it. Thankfully I can go back as soon as this experiment is over.

I made it over the hump, 4 very long days of no jailbreak. Not sure how others that upgrade to quick and lose they jailbreak deal with it. Thankfully I can go back as soon as this experiment is over. And go back I will. Back to all the time saving and time wasting of the jailbreak. Makes me warm inside. Just kidding, but the jailbreak thing is defiantly a good thing.

The FSM Experiment: No Jailbreak For A Week – Day 2

I restored back to stock firmware for a week, only using apps from the iTunes app store, and any tweaks I can do without jailbreaking, and see what life is like with out a jailbreak. Day 2.

Well, pretty much a rehash of day one..the absence of QuickReply is maddening. Had the day off, and was bombarded with text and IM’s…and since I was mobile just didn’t reply a lot. I think I missed out on somethings. I think if Apple could put this in iPhone 4.0 it would be winner.

I must’ve swiped the status bar a dozen times to bring up SBSettings for a quick respiring, and to check and clear any unused apps. Wow! surprise! not there..stock you dummy

Jaadu VNC for iPhone

This is a guest post by iRoc, and today he is going to fill you in on one of his most favorite apps : Jaadu!

What exactly is Jaadu and why would I need it, You might ask. Well, let’s say you are at work and you need a file, but that file is on your computer at home. You could call home and try to talk someone through navigating to the file and sending it to you. Oh, but that almost always is a head ache at best. Wouldn’t be great if you could just get in touch with the Enterprise , and teleport back home and get the file? No Jaadu is not about to save you thousands on travel expenses or make your daily commute magically disappear. Though Jaadu was formerly known as Teleport, and it’s the next best thing to a real deal teleporter.

Jaddu will allow you to remotely access any of your computers anytime you want or need right from your iPhone. You will have 100% control over your distant computer, or the one that’s just out of arms reach if you want to roll that way. 100%? That’s right 100%!

Your desktop even shows on the iPhone screen. So you can navigate to the necessary file and send it to yourself via email, instant messenger, any way that you could send that file if you were sitting right there at your computer normally, and everyone is happy and you are the big hero of the day in your boss’s eye.

Here’s how I used it last. I was at the store and I saw a DVD for a movie I had been meaning to download and watch, but always seemed to forget when I was at my computer. So I reached in my pocket got out my iPhone called Scotty and said, “Scotty one for transport.” N o not really. I opened Jaddu selected my laptop at home. Opened Firefox, went to mininova.org and searched for the movie. Once I found it I started the download. I could even check back in periodically to see how the download was coming along. Anything you can do sitting at your computer with your keyboard and mouse you can do on the screen of your iPhone with Jaadu.
