Problems with a jailbroken iOS 4 – Part 1

June 28th, 2010 Harry No comments

One of the first things that caught my eye about iOS 4 was the unified inbox. I know that I could have had 2 instances of exchange before, but I didn’t like the fact that I needed to manually change files on the iPhone. With this in mind, I went forward and upgraded to iOS 4.

Unified inbox worked right of the bat. It wasn’t until later in the day that I started having issues. I would receive email and it would show “(No Sender)” as the From email, and “(No Subject)” in the subject line. I read online a couple places that said a quick reset of the phone should clear it up, so I gave that a try. It worked! All of my emails were back to having a sender and a subject. But… it came back as soon as I got a new email.

Since none of my other friends were having this issue, I postulated that this issue must be caused by some jailbreak app. My first choice to uninstall was LockInfo, which is an awesome app that displays email and other information in an easily readable list on your lock screen. Well my first guess was a good guess, it fixed the issues. Turns out that LockInfo will function on iOS 4, but it is certainly not bug free on iOS 4. I suppose I should have read about it before installing.

In any case, that was the solution and now I wait until the issue is fixed before I reinstall. I could not find a lick of this on the interwebs, so I hope that I’ve helped someone find an answer to this annoying issue.

GMailIf you’ve read my previous article on setting up GMail on the iPhone, you are now using GMail with Google Sync. However, you might not be aware that Google Sync handles your actions on the iPhone differently than might be expected. For instance, clicking the trash button doesn’t mean that the email is getting deleted. So take a few minutes and get acquainted with what’s really happening with your email. I have provided a couple of important tips below, as well as a link to the site explaining it all.
