What's the program that puts the mail, text, and phone icon in the top status bar?

I'm reading that if you didn't do a fresh restore before the jailbreak, you'll lose MMS and Facetime after rebooting your phone.

wow, it killed my ATT service...

I went from 5 bars at my house to no service >.> Restoring now and seeing what's up.

Yepp, I lost MMS.

Debating whether to restore or not.

[DAKPluto]

Well, did a restore and that recovered my AT&T service.

Dunno if I want to attempt to break again now....

[AOPWarrior]

MMS works for me. gonna check to see if facetime works, too! 4.0.1 Beta here.

[Boyiee]

Did you reboot your phone yet?

[AOPWarrior]

Yeah, but i did it after i had jailbroken my phone.

reboot and see if you still have it

[AOPWarrior]

Just lost Facetime. ;(

If you lost facetime/MMS, try this:

Go to itunes and right click on your iphone, select restore from backup (it doesn't wipe your phone, just go back to previous settings), and select the backup from before your jailbreak.

Edit: Comex tweeted about the facetime/MMS issue so maybe we should just wait for him to fix it ;o

[Boyiee]

Here is the solution:

Basically the JB loses the MMS and FT settings, so what you need to do is restore form a backup (a backup that was not JB) and after the restore, the settings for MMS & FT will be recognized again.

It's just important that you don't have your JB iPhone do a backup first, or else when you restore from backup it'll be restoring from that JB backup which already lost the settings. If this does happen, then you'll need to completely restore.

So what you should be able to do is JB your phone, connect to iTunes and cancel the sync and then restore from backup.

This second part is the OP that figured it out. Should work regardless.

1. RESTORE FIRMWARE
2. SETUP AS NEW PHONE
3. JAILBREAK
4. RESTORE BACKUP
5. TRY RESTARTING


make sure your backup is from BEFORE you jailbroke the phone! You may want to just try restoring the backup without everything else. If you dont have a non jailbroken backup youll most likely have to restore the firmware and back it up BEFORE jailbreaking.



I've done this on 2 phones so far and have installed alot of cydia apps restarting the phones numerous times and both MMS and FACETIME are still there and functional.

How do you stop the phone from always syncing automatically? >_>

I just unplug the phone after it says "phone activated"

[Boyiee]

or just slide your finger across the phone where it says "cancel sync"
