    Sorry, I want my battery issues fixed. If that means no jailbreak for a while, SO BE IT! Having 60 hours of battery life is just pathetic.

    Likewise. I'd much rather a tethered jailbreak with normal battery life than an untethered jailbreak with poor battery life.

    I'm still on 4.3.3 on my iPad 2 that's jailbroken. I wonder if this means I should update to 5.0 ASAP?

    Is it possible to restore app/settings using a different computer?

    Im currently on jb 4.3.3 and abroad (so away from my sync computer).

    I know i can backup everything using pkgbackup but i cant tether jailbreak due to travelling so i need another way to restore the os but backup/restore all apps an settings for Ofw.

    Also, if i were to upgrade but decide to go back to 4.3.3 will i have baseband issues besides the initial itunes error?

    I decided to just update.. i never reboot anyway.. but umm is it really safe for use to stay on a firmware with an exploit? Will it be able to plug the hole it came in through like jailbreakme?

    Great, now I'm stuck between an untethered jailbreak and poor battery life and a tethered(I don't know that yet)jailbreak and good battery life. I'll probably go with the latter.
