Byline RSS app for iPhone gets new interface

by Peter Cohen, Macworld.com

Phantom Fish on Thursday announced the release of Byline 2.0, an update to its RSS newsreader software for the iPhone and iPod touch. It’s a free update, and costs $3.99 from the App Store.

Byline helps users stay abreast of the latest happenings on the Web by providing Really Simple Syndication support — you can subscribe to Web site RSS newsfeeds, then read the content offline from your iPhone or iPod touch.

The 2.0 release adds a new streamlined interface for browsing folders from Google Reader. Also new is a built-in Web browser for online and offline browsing, and the ability to create and share notes.

From dev team blog,

Update warning!

Now for something a bit more serious,  we’ve explained about the pros and cons of applying Apple’s updates in the past and we’ve warned against the immediate installation of these updates without knowing what they do to your device.

This is indeed true of the iPhone 3G’s upcoming 2.2 release. Installing ‘2.2’ straight away on the iPhone 3G using the iTunes auto-updater could affect your chances of any software unlock in the near future (should one be found and released), so when you see an update in iTunes await our instructions first!

Please don’t blindly install the update and then complain about it later  ;-)

anybody got ideas for my question 1 ?
any ideas how to disable the gprs?
*
You can only disable 3G. GPRS will always be there unless u switch to airplane mode (in which it doesnt have network coverage as well). So as long as u dun open any app that uses internet connection then u wont be using ur GPRS. If there is a dot inside the circle, it means ur GPRS is active now, if there is no circle, it means it is inactive. And if u really want to turn off ur GPRS, 3G or edge, kindly edit the APN setting, just change to whatever u like, without a correct APN setting, so ur iphone cant online. But make sure u put in the correct setting if u want to use internet. Cheers. Btw generally we dun really answer iphone theme questions bcoz there r too many themes out there, unless one of the members here is using the same theme with u, then he might be able to help u.

Hi Sifus,

I am using official unlocked iPhone 3G, 16GB white. Just got 2 questions;

1. Does the phone download data using Wifi when it's turned on or does it still use 3G/EDGE? I am asking this because my maxis bill for Data has suddenly increased after using iPhone to RM400+!! Been playing a lot with the phone but most of the time I connect to Wifi.

*
When u turn on ur wifi and u r connected to ur wi-fi, u would be able to see the wi-fi icon on top left of ur screen, so theoretically speaking, it wont use GPRS and 3G.

1. GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
2. Read item 1 again and again.
3. At the bottom of this post are the bittorrent files for the latest versions of PwnageTool and QuickPwn.
4. These are suitable for the recent 2.2 release.
5. Please read all parts of this post before downloading and using these tools.
6. The ‘late 2008’ MacBook/air/pro line of computers have an issue with DFU mode, it is possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> 2.2 but going from stock to Pwned does not work, if in any doubt use a different machine.
7. Choosing the correct tool is crucial. Be warned!


NOTE: ‘Simple Mode’ in PwnageTool currently only works for the iPod Touch. To use PwnageTool for iPhones you will need to use ‘Expert mode’. This is a workaround while we make an update and fix this issue. In order to do this you will need to navigate to the ‘General’ window and change two things: Deselect ‘activate’ ONLY if you are normally able to activate through iTunes (but if you wish to ‘hacktivate’ the iPhone using PwnageTool then leave it selected). You will also need to change the partition size to about 1000MB (type in the value or use the slider).

‘Hactivate’ means to activate the iPhone yourself without Apple. This is used if you live outside an officially supported region and cannot activate the phone using iTunes.



Baseband 101

The ‘baseband’ is the generic name given to the internal components of the iPhone that handle the phone calls and Internet access. This ‘baseband’ is a tiny and unique independent computer system that runs inside your iPhone, it is separate to the main system that handles the applications (such as email and google maps) and it talks to the main part of the phone over an internal communications network. Think of it like a cable modem or other peripheral that is attached to your home PC that needs occasional updates. When a software update is released and presented to you within iTunes the baseband is sometimes updated (to fix bugs or add new features). The 2.2 update for the iPhone 3G contains such an update, so running the vanilla updater straight away with iTunes will reprogram and update the baseband. This could be bad for certain people, depending on your ultimate aim.

SIM Free/SP Unlocked/Factory Unlocked iPhone 3G

This applies if you bought your iPhone 3G for $$$$$$$. This model of iPhone 3G doesn’t have an Service Provider lock (aka factory unlocked) and you are able to put any SIM card into the phone and get service. Your phone is already unlocked so you do not need to worry about baseband updates, simply upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and then use QuickPwn to Pwn and Jailbreak. This will add Cydia and Installer too.

Locked iPhone 3G - Preserve Baseband

This applies if you have a locked iPhone 3G and you wish to update to 2.2 but preserve the iPhone’s current baseband software. Preserving the baseband will give you the maximum chance for any upcoming software unlock. To upgrade your phone to 2.2 and preserve the state of the baseband you need to create a custom .ipsw with PwnageTool. This custom .ipsw will not contain the baseband update but of course will still allow all the cool new stuff from 2.2.

There are plenty of tutorials about this process on the web, but PwnageTool contains intuitive graphics and easy to follow prompts that should have you up and running in no time at all.

Locked iPhone 3G

If you are using your iPhone with one carrier and have no interest in the possibility of an iPhone 3G unlock in the near future then just restore or upgrade to 2.2 using iTunes and use QuickPwn to Jailbreak and add Cydia and Installer.

Locked iPhone 2G (1st Generation)

Restore your iPhone 2G with iTunes then run QuickPwn to do the magic, ‘nuff said.

iPod Touch 1G (Original iPod Touch)

Update to 2.2 with iTunes and run QuickPwn.

iPod Touch 2G (New iPod Touch)

Sorry, no support at this time.
