    Default 6.1.2 headache


    Ok so i finally upgraded my iphone4s to 6.1.2 knowing a jailbreak was available. now i ive spent the last 24 hours regretting my decision! hope someone here can help me out...

    before upgrading from 5.1.1 i took time reading and researching bout the disadvantages of iOS6 over the jailbroken 5.1.1 for the longest time i held off from upgrading due to the maps issue, no jailbreak (meant no bitesms/groupsend/actions/sbsettings/springflash and other essentials in my daily cellphone use), and all those issue many have complained bout. so since google announced release of google maps app on iOS6 and the jailbreak for 6.1.2 which fixed network sync & battery issue i figured most of my concerns are pretty much addressed so i decided to take the leap.

    what a disaster. heres what i quickly found out.
    restoring from backup using itunes somehow prevented my keyboard shortcuts from working. so i quickly made a 2nd restore and did not load up my backup anymore. everything fresh! but then....
    1) google maps apps is NOT AVAILABLE in the philippines
    2) bitesms is buggy on iOS6 i often get a blank screen when i try to create a new msg. so resorting to the native app became a must from time to time.
    3) i used to rely on abcontacts to organize my groups. its not 100% working with iOS6. virtually unusable. why can't apple include a way to manage groups on your phones?

    anyways to these 3 major issues above, can anyone suggest fixes for these. i'd be most appreciative, thanks!

    soln. for number 1..just change ur location in ur account settings to u.s instead of phil.
    google maps will appear back in appstore,,just revert it back to phil. after done installing.

    #2 bitesms, update it to its latest version, its should be compatible, but im on 6.1

    #3 what you should have researched BEFORE updating is the status of all the tweaks that you are using for jailbreak. again this is on the developer to make it compatible

    @crazyfists I tried that but app store will not allow me.
    Is it because I am using a metrobank credit card?
    Should I use my hsbc instead para download ug app na available in US app store?

    maybe bro,but f ever u could choose no credit card that would be a better option and since im not using any,,try ur hsbc bro just change it back to ur local card after done installing,nwz its a free app nothng to worry.

    #1 Create a free account sa iTunes US.
    #2 Update to the latest version or if that doesn't work try their latest beta (add their beta repo http://cydia.bitesms.com AFAICR). I'm on 6.1 and so far wala ko ka experience ana nga bug.
