There is a whole sub-market inside the area of the mobile mobile phone sector area related to the jailbreak or unlocking of the cellular phones so that they can be utilised on any mobile network, and current Supreme Court selections in the USA handed down have confirmed that the jailbreak industry is legal and genuine. That is, end-user customers are really inside their legal rights to do what they desire to their mobile phone handset to allow the mobile phone to perform on other network carriers which is normally known as jailbreak or unlocking the network block.

Hi guys,

I ran into this issue running OS 3.1.2, and Apple’s changed the app cache since 3.0. The way I fixed it with 3.1 was to rename these two folders:

* SpringBoardIconCache
* SpringBoardIconCache-small

to:

* SpringBoardIconCache-bak
* SpringBoardIconCache-small-bak

After respringing the phone, the OS recreated the original folders and reset the app icons to the original ones.

I have an easy solution for people who have Mike’s problem (Catergries has hidden the apps and you are no longer jailbroken).
This happened to me more than once.

1) Go to settings/general/restrictions
2) Enable restrictions (enter a code twice)
3) Leave settings
4) Go back to settings/general/restrictions
5) Disable restrictions using the same code

Hi, I have a different problem, I tried to download Dictionary on my iPhone, I used WiFi as the program is over 10mb, half way through the download, I went out of the WiFi range so the download got stuck.

Now I got a blank grey icon with an empty download progress bar below it. I cant delete it, and if I try to re-download dictionary again from appstore it says that dictionary is already installed..

Ive tried restarting/rebooting/re-syncing and it dont work. it dont even appear in my itunes as a downloaded app.

Help?

I HAVE THE SOLUTION FOR REAL THIS TIME!!! I PROMISE!!!!

100%!!!!

1) Delete one of the bad icons on your device.
2) Go to app store and start to re-download the same app you just deleted,…
3) Pause the download before it finishes downloading by tapping the icon.
4) Turn off the device. (do not do a hard reset)
5) Turn the device back on.
6) Tap the paused app to continue the download.

now ALL the apps that had icon errors are back to normal.

your welcome!!

This actually worked just fine on my iPhone.

Thanks a lot.
