F.Lux It used to take me 30-60 minutes to fall asleep. I jail broke my phone to install f.lux and now I fall asleep in ten minutes or less. If I eventually can't jailbreak an iPhone, I'll switch to android.
You could just stop staring at your iPhone before you fall asleep?

I have several to do it. The one that pisses me off the most is not having "Lockinfo". Another one is to be able to share your internet with a PC without begging to your provider. And the list goes on. (facetime on 3G...)
Those things are already possible without jailbreaking.
iPhone on GiffGaff (who use O2 networks) in UK cannot share connection with PC.
So, those things are already possible without jailbreaking if you're prepared to change carrier.

I just installed it and it doesn't work properly. Here's to hoping it gets updated quickly. It may be an issue with MobileSubstrate, as Saurik just pointed out that the evasi0n team gave him no lead on the jailbreak.
Everything's blue for you too? Removing F.lux didn't do anything so I thought it was Mobile Substrate, but removing that didn't do anything until I rebooted the device so I can't be sure. Other apps depending on Mobile Substrate work OK so far, so don't let it turn you off trying things out.
Are you using an A7 device? I've heard those are the devices that are having the most trouble due to incompatibilities.

Yes those were the two choices, jailbreak or not stare at the phone before sleep. Very perceptive, aroch.
I find it hilarious that someone who knows that staring at a bright blue-white screen is going to impact their sleep, continues to do so. It is even more amusing to think that they'd rather drop $400+ on a new Android phone that can run lux/redshift instead of modifying their own behavoir in a trivial way.

#45Finally! I've been waiting for an iOS jailbreak to finally be able to use bitcoin related stuff on my iPhone and iPad. It's been a pain so far. This is the first time that the iOS walled garden approach REALLY started to bother me. The other was to do with emulation but that was filed under 'minor nit-pick'.
I need some help understanding this. So, at my job the way I install iOS apps onto phones that are not at the AppStore is that the developers give me the .ipa file and I do: ideviceinstaller -i /path/to/ipafile (You can get this prog by doing "brew install ideviceinstaller", takes awhile) Is there some reason the bitcoin devs can't upload the ipa somewhere and have everyone do that? EDIT: Ah yes, joshstrange & jreed9…
This is actually my only real dealbreaker issue with iOS. The freedom to install my own software on my own hardware without the permission of a third party seems like a pretty fundamental computing right to me.

Can you elaborate? How can they detect this other than using methods such as looking at your user-agent or TTL, both of which could be controlled on a jail-broken device?
The traffic patterns of a mobile phone and a desktop computer are very different, even if all you do is browsing.
EDIT: I meant to state if you were to override the desktop's user-agent to mimic a mobile device while tethered.

#47I would imagine apps that work on undoing iOS7's visual changes are going to be popular. I personally would like one, at least for those icons.
I very much doubt this. iOS 7 adoption rate was the best so far, that probably means people don't mind the new look.

Additionally, there are lots of apps which only work on iOS 7, so often enough you don't have a choice.

Now, I could do one of the following:
1. Reorder my life so that I never look at my phone after sundown.
2. Jailbreak
I tried not using my phone for 1 hours before bed, still had insomnia. There's no trivial lifestyle fix that would address the issue f.lux solves.Re: New jailbreak available for iOS7 by the evad3rs

Does being snarky make you feel better about yourself? I find it hilarious that someone who knows that staring at a bright blue-white screen is going to impact their sleep, continues to do so.
