iOS 11.4.1 Jailbreak Solution May Not Be Possible Yet

The tech world is very complicated. Normally, upgrades are a good thing and bring interesting features which arises the users’ curiosity. With iOS the story is different. Every update will fix bugs and create new security patches that have the role of protecting your iPhone and keeping it up-to-date.

On the other hand, upgrades are not good news in the jailbreak world. In some cases, they can mean certain death. We saw that recently, when Apple announced they stopped signing iOS 11.4. For that matter, we understand that users with upgraded versions of the operating system, like iOS 11.4.1 won’t have the possibility to jailbreak their iPhone.

What does it mean to stop “signing” a software?

When Apple does that, iTunes won’t recognize it, therefore won’t be able to install it on your iPhone. People don’t usually tend to go back to previous OS versions, but jailbreakers need time to exploit iOS, so they have to be one or two steps behind Apple.

Until now, the most recent jailbreak was presented by jailbreak developers working on iOS 11. Thanks to them we were able to see a semi-tethered jailbreak for iOS 11.2 through iOS 11.4 beta 3. In this case, if you upgrade to 11.4.1, you don’t have the possibility to go back. As you might have figured out by now, you’ve lost the chance to jailbreak, at least until someone discovers a way to perform it on 11.4.1.

There are a few ways to revert the update

If you haven’t upgraded to 11.4.1 yet, but you are ready to perform this operation, here’s what you can do. You have to save your SHSH2 blobs in order to revert the iPhone to iOS 11.4. The blobs can be saved even if you are still using this operating system. Keep them as insurance policy, in case you’ll update to 11.4.1.

If you performed the update without saving the blobs, don’t lose your hope. Developers will find a way perform jailbreaks on iOS 11.4.1 for sure.

Samsung Gear S4 Release Date Available with New Specs

According to ZDNet Korea, the highly anticipated Samsung Gear 4 is set to be unveiled on August 9. Thanks to recent reports, we already have some idea about the specifications of this new smartwatch developed by Samsung.

Gear S4 will be one of the stars of Samsung Unpacked 2018

The South Korean source stated that Samsung has decided to present Gear S4 to the world during the Unpacked 2018 event, which will take place in New York City on August 9. On that day, the new smartwatch will make its debut alongside Samsung Galaxy Note 9. Following the event, the company based in South Korea will start taking preorders on August 14, then 10 days later Samsung Gear S4 will become available in the markets.

What do we know about Gear S4’s specifications

When it comes to the expecting operating system of the upcoming smartwatch, we do have some contradictory reports. We have heard from many sources that Gear S4 will be based on Samsung’s Tizen OS, most likely its Tizen 5.0 version, which debuted in May. However, a respected tipster, Evan Blass, predicts that Google Wear OS will replace Tizen. It looks like we will have to wait until August 9 in order to find out which operating system will Gear S4 use.

It is expected that the capacity of battery will be increased from 380mAh to 470mAh. The device will also include LTE connectivity.

Samsung Gear S4’s main theme will be health and fitness, therefore we might see not only some fitness-related apps, but even a built-in blood pressure sensor. Additionally, the smartwatch’s design will be characterized by a thinner face and lighter form-factor. Users will be able to choose between two variants of Samsung Gear S4: Classic and sporty-looking Frontier.

OnePlus 6 Gets Android P Developer Preview With New Changes

A preview build of the next version of Android was made available on OnePlus 6. This is the first time when users of devices other than the Pixel phones by Google can test the newest version of Android.

The first developer preview for a non-Pixel device

The update that includes the upcoming Android P is called Developer Preview 3 on OnePlus, but it seems like this could be the same version as the fourth developer preview that Google released at the beginning of July. Since the first developer preview for Android P was available only on Pixel phones, the difference in numbers is understandable.

What comes with the update

On the changelog provided by OnePlus we can see the list of improvements and fixes that come with this update. The Developer Preview 3 will include the most recent security patch and it will improve system stability, the quality of the camera, and the compatibility with third-party apps. On the other hand, we might experience certain issues while testing Android P, which is expected with every preview build. Amongst the potential problems listed by OnePlus there are some issues with power consumption, Bluetooth connectivity and the functioning of some apps.

How to get the Developer Preview 3 update

In case you own a OnePlus 6 and want to test Android P to see how it works, you should visit the OnePlus website where you can find the instructions on how to download and install the Developer Preview 3. Once you install the update, be aware of the fact that some additional issues might occur, which were not mentioned by OnePlus.

According to some reports, the fourth developer preview of Android P could be a suitable candidate for an official release, which means that the rollout of the newest version of Android should follow soon.

Google Maps for Web Download Available with New Improvements

With the growing importance of the Google Maps app on mobile devices, no matter if it is Android or iPhone, it is easy to forget that this app was first introduced on the web, where it is still an irreplaceable tool that helps us plan our trips. The web version of Google Maps has seen many new features added recently, and especially one of them would not look out of place on your smartphone or tablet.

With Google Maps you will avoid being late

The new feature, which most of us probably did not notice, will notify you when you have to leave, if you want to make sure that you are not late at your chosen destination. This option, even though it was just introduced on the web version of Google Maps, is something we have already known from the mobile version of the popular digital map.

According to Android Police, it is not known exactly when this feature became available. In January of this year, the notifications related to the Local Guides contributions have started being offered on the web version of Google Maps.

A second feature added to the Notifications toggles

A feature called “Time to leave” is now available in the Notifications toggles in the settings of Google Maps. All you need to do before using it is to simply activate it inside the side menu. You might also get a prompt letting you know about this new option.

Of course, you must be signed into Google Maps in order to use these features. Additionally, you have to agree that Google will have access to your location, otherwise these options will not work. After all, Google has to know where you are to help you travel effortlessly.
