My MMS Stopped Working…Solution

Posted in How-To, MMS by meebz. Published August 4th, 2009

Two Recent iPhone Tweaks Don’t Play Well Together Proving That You Can’t Have Your Tweak and Eat it Too

If you recently discovered that your ActivateMMS2G stopped working, you’re not alone. ActivateMMS2G, better known for enabling picture messaging on your iPhone 2G has a lesser known compatibility issue with another iPhone Tweak, 3GS Battery; 3GS Battery enables a numeric battery percentage for your iPhone.

Both tweaks are a welcomed asset to your iPhone arsenal; due to unfortunate incompatibility issues, though, you are limited to using only one or the other.

To re-enable your picture messaging you must go into WinterBoard and deactivate 3GS Battery. To use 3GS Battery and inadvertently disable MMS, open WinterBoard and re-activate 3GS Battery.

Download Youtube Videos on Your iPhone

Posted in How-To by meebz. Published July 28th, 2009

MxTube and Pumpkin are names synonymous with the iPhone Dev scene. MxTube had all but disappeared, when Pumpkin, one of the contributing creators, reinvented and released an enhanced and integrated version of MxTube aptly named YourTube.

YourTube allows you to download YouTube videos on your iPhone directly from the YouTube iPhone app. This tweak adds additional download icons in the app where you can download, track progress and play downloaded videos.

This feature greatly benefits those who may want to watch YouTube videos and are lacking connection through edge or wifi in dead zones (subways, airplanes, trains, your mama’s house - where they still use dial up, etc) .

Available in Cydia Store (on Jailbroken iPhones) for $2.

Open YouTube and select a video, at the end of the video, click the icon in the top right hand corner (by “More Info”) to download
