Hi all..

Thanks to all of you, now i am a happy owner of an Ipod Touch 16G (OTB 1.1.2), jailbroken to 1.1.3 with all the extra apps. Have been experimenting with all the wonderful things that can be done with this ipod for the last 2 days.

All is working well, except for these few things that i hope the sifus here can help me out (or point me to the right direction).

1. The mail apps works fine on the first day, but on the second day i notice whenever i want to fetch my emails it just stuck to "Checking for emails.." and nothing happens. This happens to all email accounts that i have (pop, gmail). Have tried to delete the accounts, create a new one with different emails but still the same. Any clue why is this happening?

2. Installed today the latest summerboad for 1.1.3 (Ver 3.1-1) from the installer but i cant see any way to activate it. The status at the bottom keeps stating "inactive". How do i activate it?

3. I have notice that i have to reset the clock twice already because the clock is showing the wrong time.

4. How do i disable the auto suggest mode when using the keyboard to type something?

Others than that, i'm pretty much a very happy ipod touch owner, and would be glad to help any other new owners..

Thanks again.

1. Never encounter such a problem. Tarak tau lah boss...

2. This apparently is a common issue with Summerboard on 1.1.3. Many suggested to completely reboot your iPod and it should work right after.

3. Mine kept resetting to Cupertino. I reckon it is a bug. It's gay. I hate it.

4. There isn't a default option to disable it but there's a fix for it. There's a package called 'KB Fix' or something available in Installer.app under 1.1.1 Tweaks.

Thanks zc_squash for the info. Appreciate it.

I guess Summarize can wait, the default is good enough for now. And the KB Fix thing works, except that you will lose the double tap space for the dot (period). Maybe a new version will fix this later.

I'm still annoyed by the mail apps problem. Well the gmail thru safari works great though..

@Merang,

for the summerboard problem. Just hold down on your power/sleep button and turn off the ipod. And then turn it on again and summerboard should be active now.

Thanks Gilthoniel, but i've done that (restart with the red slider thingy) countless times already and it just doesnt activate. Not a very big deal to me, but its a nice thing to have i guess..

@Merang, which jailbreak method did you use? I'm wondering whether that may have an impact on the Summerboard compatibility.
*
Yeah that's exactly my thought also.

Was jailbroken to 1.1.3 using the ipodtouchmaster guide (video guide here) - Dev. team version + iphone apps.

Btw, mine is Ipod Touch 16G (1.1.2 OTB).

ok, then it was the same one i used too.  i read forum postings that those who had summerboard problems seems to have used the iptm's method.  using the Dev team's original jailbreak seem to work better with summerboard 1.1.3.

Ok.. i noticed that too. Most with IPTM jailbreak also seems to have the mail problem too, which is what i really want to use.

Well, i'm currently halfway thru jailbreaking using the official dev team 113 jailbreak.

Does this method includes the extra 1.1.3 apps (mail, map etc)? If not what is the best way to add the apps later on? IPTM has it in his repo, but i'm afraid i will still have the mail problem. Thnx.
