Apple Released iOS 6.1.2 (10B146) to Fix Exchange Calendar Bug

Moments ago Apple release an iOS update for iPhone/iPod/iPad to fix the known Exchange Calendar bug that could result in increased network activity and reduced battery life. This update of iOS 6.1.2 was heavily expected to arrive later this week because Apple was working on a fix for this issue since last week. It was told by Apple that an update of iOS 6.1.2 would debut sometime before February 22 to fix this issue of exchange calendar caused in iOS 6.1.

Therefore today, promising update of iOS 6.1.2 with build number (10B146) arrived for iPhone/iPod/iPad. This new build of iOS 6.1.2 is available by an OTA update spacing 107MB, where as regular build takes a space of 700MB- 1GB for iPhone/iPod/iPad.

Fixes an Exchange calendar bug that could result in increased network activity and reduced battery life.

Other than the fix for exchange calendar bug, Apple also promised to fix the security vulnerability that was spotted by JailbreakNation few days back. However, that vulnerability doesn’t seem to be fixed in this update because Apple hasn’t described or stated about the fix for that issue in this build. We can expect the security vulnerability to be fixed in an upcoming iOS 6.1.3 update that will replace iOS 6.1.1. Apple has already seeded iOS 6.1.1 Beta 1 to Developers a week ago and we can assume the arrival of next beta would be done in the upcoming week as iOS 6.1.3.

As far as the Untethered Jailbreak is concerned, Apple hasn’t patched it because it is a minor update and Apple released it to fix the issue Exchange Calendar only. At this moment, the status of Untethered Jailbreak would be broken on iOS 6.1.2 and we wont recommend any one to update to this latest iOS 6.1.2 because there will be no Untethered Jailbreak at the moment. All you need to do is just wait for some time or hours, so the Evad3rs can work on to fix the Evasi0n Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 6.1.2.

In other words we can say that HTC has started to copy Apple and Samsung because the forthcoming Smart Phone of HTC, HTC ONE M7 has been leaked in wild. The leaked didn’t happen today, it happened months before the official release, but today an affirmation of the preceding leaked images were done. We all know that today HTC will be taking the stage at 10:00AM EDT to announce the upcoming flagship of their supposedly called HTC ONE M7.

Before HTC could take the stage and unveil the upcoming member of the family called HTC ONE M7, we would like to remove the suspense that HTC has been teasing for past few days. In order to remove this suspense, we got some HTC ONE M7 Hands on Images shared to us by our folks at MobileGeeks. The images shared by MobileGeeks show complete hands on upcoming HTC ONE M7 that is only few hours away from the release and confirms the authenticity of alleged leaked images of the smart phone as legit. This means the previously leaked images of HTC ONE M7 were legit and not fake.

Below you can see a complete Gallery of HTC ONE M7 hands on side by side.

After seeing the hands on images of the upcoming HTC ONE M7, we can say that it will be a good competitor of the iPhone 5, Galaxy S3, and Galaxy Note II. Moreover, we can see a bit imitation of the iPhone 5 design is being done by HTC in its forthcoming HTC ONE M7. However, copying and pasting in smart phone industry has become a fashion or you can a rule. Every one can imitate each other without any hustle.

Samsung to Announce Galaxy S IV on March 14 to Beat HTC One?

The competition among Smart Phone vendors has started to emerge to a completely new level. The era of kingship to rule the smart phone market seems to be ending with the start of 2013. The year of 2013 is packed with full innovation from different smart phone vendors that have started to arrive from the passage of time. Leader of this innovation would be HTC and following HTC; it is believed that Samsung will be the second one to join this competition. Those of you who are not aware of the innovation about which we are talking and starting it from HTC as the leader, we would like to acknowledge you that HTC has sent out Media Invites the day before yesterday teasing the word, “Save the Date.”

This simply means that HTC is planning to Release a new Smart Phone called HTC ONE M7 that is schedule for Tuesday, February 19 release. Following the release of HTC ONE M7 on Tuesday, we got Samsung lined up for its Galaxy S IV release scheduled for April. The release date of Samsung Galaxy S IV in April is not confirmed because the nothing is official yet. Everything about Galaxy S IV is skeptical. Earlier this month, the release date of Galaxy S IV jumped a month back from April to March claiming the date to be March 15.

The rumor pointing out the release of Galaxy S IV on March 15 was denied by an Industry Insider called Eldar Murtazin claiming the release of Galaxy S IV to be done a day before the rumored date that is March 14. The reports of Galaxy S IV release date on march 14 comes from a Tweet sent out by Murtazin on his Twitter account stating that HTC ONE M7 will miss the sales on this date as they missed the sales in 2012.

The chances are high for Samsung to unveil its new Flagship on March 14, but we wont suggest you to put your faith into this news because manufacturers often move the production date from time to time depending on the situation.

At the moment, lets not concentrate on Galaxy S IV more because HTC is coming up with a real competition this Tuesday. HTC has planned to unveil something big and innovative that will for sure give a tough competition to existing market leaders.

How to Backup your iPhone/iPod/iPad Before Updating or Jailbreaking – Like a Boss
These days to back up your iPhone/iPod/iPad have become a difficult task to attempt. All the credit for making it difficult goes to Apple for releasing a new iOS version after few months and then the credit goes to iOS Hackers who are releasing the Jailbreak for that iOS from time to time. In this game of Cat and Mouse (Apple and iOS Hackers), the public that is affected is the users of iPhone/iPod/iPad because some update to latest iOS and some wait for the Jailbreak to arrive, so they can update to latest iOS version.

However, 99% people prefer iTunes because it is safe and easy to use than other free software’s present out there, but for us, the thing is different. We don’t rely on iTunes because it is not worth it to be used for backing up your iPhone/iPod/iPad. According to our personal experience, we wont recommend any one for backing up their iPhone/iPod/iPad via iTunes because in iTunes 11 (the latest version) we faced some issues like Apps were gone away while restoring from the backup, although the contacts, messages, and previous settings were restored. However, the main thing is that the Apps were gone and weren’t restored back to our iPhone via iTunes. There might be some issue with the iTunes or on our end, but still the thing that is gone is gone.

When iTools opens and your iPhone/iPod/iPad is recognized by iTools, it will show you a screen like this.

Step 4:

Now it’s the time for you to decide about what things you need to backup from your iPhone/iPod/iPad.

In order to do that there will be a list of things shown by iTools that can be backed up easily. The list is as follows:
- Apps
- Music
- Movies
- Photos
- EBooks
- Info
- File System
You are only interested in the above-mentioned features. Rest don’t touch them because they are useless.

Step 5:

Now, you have to play with two buttons for backing up your iPhone/iPod/iPad via iTools and restoring them back after Updating or restoring the Devices. The buttons in which you are interested are Import, Export, and Backup.

Step 6:

In order to back up the Apps, go to Apps section in iTools.

In order to back up contacts, go to Info Section in iTools.
