There is a huge number of users who facing “Blue Question Mark” when trying to download an app in Installous. Unfortunately mine is working fine so it’s hard to bring a solution for it!

Randy upload the following screen shot on our Facebook Page  showing the blue question mark when he try to download an app!

Any idea about that?

Update: It seems that this is because of heavy load on download provider websites such as Mediafire.

Apple just released “iOS 5.0.1 beta” to developers. It will bring “Multitasking Gestures” to iPad1 users. There is also some battery issue fixes in this new release.

I will put the links whenever it goes public.

Jeff on iDB posted an article about the differences between Untethered, tethered and Semi-tethered jailbreaks. You have to fully understand these aspects to be able to jailbreak you iDevice in way you want.

Here you find a brief description of these words

Untethered Jailbreak *The Best*

The most desirable jailbreak of them all.

SemiTethered Jailbreak *Good*

Better than nothing. You can boot your device every time you want, but you get limited functionality. It means that you will not loose your phone in emergency cases such as battery drain.

Tethered Jalbreak *Bad*

The least desirable of the three. With a tethered jailbreak you cannot reboot your device at all without doing a tethered boot.

If you can’t send message via iMessage try the following solution hope it will fix the problem.

1. go to cydia and add repo url for the application SAM (“Subscriber Artificial Module”), google “Subscriber Artificial Module”; you ll find the repo URL
2. install SAM and SAMpref
3. Click ”Revert Lockdownd to Stock” in Settings>SAM (its unactivating your Hacktivation)
4. Go to Settings > SAM and touch “De-Activate iPhone“
5. Connect with iTunes and activate it (ifs there a problem, google SAM homepage or tutorials for further instructions)
6. If you already have “iPusher“ app -> delete it
7. Navigate to Settings » SAM » Utilities » tap on Backup Activation and then tap on Restore Activation label
8. Reboot your iPhone and then sync it with iTunes
9. Install iPusher App
10. Reboot your iPhone and then sync it with iTunes. Make sure your iPhone is connected to a Wifi with an active internet connection
11. Open iPusher app and tap on Test Push Notifications button. If you see a pop-up saying Yay, push notifications work fine! then it means your Push Notifications are working          fine
12. Deactivate iMessage (if its activated)
13. Restart iPhone
14. Activate it, it should work now.

I think Apple reaches the end, what do you think?
