How to send SMS from your Desktop to iphone using DeskSMS

By

Well, this could be interesting – sending and receiving SMS texts to/from your web browser, Gmail and GTalk. ClockworkMod, has recently come up with a jailbreak tweak that lets you do this all through the DeskSMS Cydia tweak.
Anybody who stays at his desktop most of the time, dislikes using his iPhone’s touch screen keyboard much, DeskSMS can be the way to go, where your iPhone acts as the go-between your desktop computer and the SMS sender/receiver.

How to Install and Use DeskSMS

The Cydia hack is rather easy to install but has two steps involved. Even before you can setup the hack, you need to download and install a free app from the iTunes App Store, called Notifo.
Now get an account from the service’s official website, notifo.com.
notifo API Key
Once signed up, you get an API key from Notifo under the Settings tab, which you then use in the DeskSMS Springboard app, while it is assumed that you already have a Google username and password.
That’s it. That simple!
The sending and receiving of the SMSes is direct from your Google account, analogous to the native SMS app of iPhone. So you don’t really have to worry about the intervening or spam at the message’s last part.
It’s interesting that the same DeskSMS solution is also available on the Android Market and is getting pretty famous, though it’s totally okay of ClockworkMod didn’t take the official iTunes route, just like it did for the Android platform. But that’s just to back-check that ClockworkMod guys are authentic devs.
This tweak leaves you away from your phone drastically for the reason that texting and apps, is the greatest time consuming thing that you do on your iPhone! Just before you dive in to implement the tweak on your beloved iPhone, we must tell, or we assume you might already know, that since this is a Cydia tweak, it requires your phone to be jailbroken in the first place. We’ve got all the guides for you lined up; just hit the jailbreaksection to get all the step-by-step tutorials, even if you’re using an iOS 5 beta!
DeskSMS tweak is now available on cydia through the BigBossrepository, free of cost.

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

By
Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...
