iOS 11.4 Jailbreak Tool Available from Richard Zhu Developer

Apple is doing its best to keep hackers from cracking iOS, but this isn’t stopping the jailbreaking community from developing tools. Apple is so adamant about making it impossible for hackers to create iOS jailbreak tools that it’s even giving out cash rewards to developers who manage to find exploits in the operating system. Although, developers such as Ian Beer keep discovering exploits and unveiling them to the entire jailbreak community.

iOS 11.4 Successfully Jailbroken

Despite Apple’s best efforts, hacker Richard Zhu who is famous for creating jailbreak tools managed to open up iOS 11.4 The hacker posted a short video in which he showed an Apple-made machine running on a jailbroken iOS 11.4.

The device used by Richard Zhu in order to provide proof that he managed to crack iOS 11.4 is an iPhone 7 that featured Cydia. Not just that, but the iPhone 7 had root access via Terminal. The interesting thing about this jailbreak is that Richard Zhu doesn’t want to unveil what exploit he used. On the downside of things, Richard Zhu has yet to announce if he plans to launch the iOS 11.4 jailbreak to the general public.

Electra iOS 11.3.1 Jailbreak Tool

Even though it doesn’t seem like Richard Zhu will launch the newly developed iOS 11.4 jailbreak tool anytime soon, Apple fans should be happy to know that CoolStar is currently adding the finishing touches to an Electra iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak tool.

The Electra iOS 11.3.1 jailbreak tool is supposedly going to be launched in the upcoming days and CoolStar already posted a couple of pictures which confirmed that the tool is working. The reason why CoolStar has yet to release the tool is because he is saying that there still are a couple of bugs that need fixing.

Android GPS Not Working? Here’s How to Fix It

The GPS is a key feature of all Android smartphones. There are endless uses for the GPS such as setting navigation routes when traveling to unknown locations or finding interesting places. Therefore, the GPS is quite important and no one likes it when it malfunctions, but this doesn’t meant that the GPS signal will work at all times.

There are many reports from Android smartphone owners which show that their GPS randomly started malfunctioning. The worst thing about this issue is that the GPS doesn’t stop from functioning and it shows wrong locations instead. Fortunately, we know just the right methods of fixing this issue and we are going to list them right now.

Airplane Mode

The first thing that we advise all Android fans to do whenever their GPS starts acting weird is to activate Airplane Mode. This feature can be easily enabled by pulling down the notification menu and tapping on it. Airplane Mode needs to be disabled after a couple of seconds and the GPS signal will come back.

Big Phone Case

People love to cover their smartphones in phone cases because it protects them against scratches while making them look cooler at the same time. However, what many people don’t know is that big phone cases will interfere with the GPS signal. With that said, Android smartphone owners might want to remove their phone case and check to see if the GPS signal is better without it.

Google Maps Software Update

Android smartphones rely on Google Maps in order to provide users with navigation routes and location information. Therefore, Google Maps needs to be constantly updated so that it works properly and this can be easily done by accessing the Google Play Store and allowing Google Maps to automatically update itself.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Leaks – Improved Storage, RAM and Better Battery

With the launch of Galaxy Note 9 expected sometime in August, the amount of leaks and rumors keeps growing. Thanks to some reliable reports, we can now take a closer look at the possible improvements that will make Galaxy Note 9 a much better phone than its predecessor.

In this article, we will focus on the most important upgrades of the new Samsung phone that were leaked by Ice Universe.

Improved storage

Compared to Galaxy Note 8, the new phone will have twice as much storage space with 512GB, which can be extended even further using a microSD card.

More RAM

With 8GB of RAM, Galaxy Note 9 will be the first Samsung phone with such a big amount of RAM.

Better battery

Thanks to some design changes related to camera positioning, for the first time in Samsung’s mass-market phones, the capacity of the battery will be raised to 4,000 mAh.

Bigger display size

According to The Bell, with Samsung Galaxy Note 9 we will see a small improvement of the display. Compared to the 6.3-inch screen of Galaxy Note 8, the new 6.4-inch display doesn’t seem like a big change, but still it’s going to be the largest screen of a Samsung smartphone produced so far.

Larger front camera

Unlike Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note 9 will have an improved front camera, the biggest of all phones created by Samsung so far. This will allow users to take better pictures in low light environments.

Unfortunately, it looks like Samsung decided not to modernize Galaxy Note 9’s design, which is one of the very few disappointments one can possibly have after purchasing the phone. Still, all things considered, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is an obvious improvement on other phones created by the Korean company and it clearly shows the direction in which future smartphones will go.
