Ok, So since the release of the Absinthe Jailbreak tool for the Apple Mac, I thought I would give it a shot and see if it really was as simple as they said it was.

At first glance, it was the fastest Jailbreak I have ever seen. However, after a couple of days use, it was apparent it does do more harm than good.

I do a lot of driving during the week, so I rely on my iPhone to keep me entertained listening to my playlists. I got in the car stuck on my favourite playlist and waited for it to start. After 30 seconds of silence, I was trying to figure out what was wrong with the phone/car. I unplugged the phone and tried to play the playlist on it’s own and it wouldn’t play, it would flash the album art up on screen and then take me back to the track listings in the playlist. I repeated the step and it eventually started playing a song, however, it wasn’t the song that I had asked it to play…. I plugged it back into the car and started listening to the music. I tried to change track and it would skip a whole bunch of songs that it would normally have played.. GREAT! As there wasn’t much that I could do while driving I put up with the random tracks. Finally when it changed tracks it suddenly stopped playing, and played a strange noise and stuck on 2:47 seconds on the display in the car.

I am not sure if this is 100% to do with the Absinthe Jailbreak, however I am going to do a iPhone restore to see if this brings it all back.

iPhone users be weary! Make sure you do a backup of your iPhone BEFORE doing the jailbreak..

Let me know if you experience the same issue with your Apple iPhone 4s

Thanks,
Chris
