New Backgrounder & SBSettings

**sysrage** · 07-08-2009, 07:58 PM

New Backrounder and SBSettings just came out. Backgrounder works smooth as butter now. Returning to Pandora after pushing to background doesn't have screwed up album art and player buttons. Many apps that were crashing before no longer crash. (Yay for background FlowChat) Working real nice. So sad Apple still doesn't just do this by default. Would sell so many more phones.

SBSettings update is fairly minor, but the processes toggle now has a 'Free Memory' button that automatically frees up some of your RAM without closing your backgrounded apps. Very useful. People should be able to keep their 3GS' running for ages without a reboot now.

sbsettings free mem.. is good but pity the iphone 3g has only 128 mb ram... im still thinking should i get the 3gs as the reports of overheating and white iphones going brown kinda put me off!

your lucky you got 5mb i only got 2mb free lol... arrggh i want the 3gs... do you think i should go for it? or wait?

**StealthBravo** · 07-08-2009, 10:51 PM

I would go for it before they start shipping with 3.1 OTB, after that you might have to wait awhile for a jailbreak

**Zwayne** · 07-08-2009, 11:02 PM

Mine increased by 3mb....

**shabz_de_don** · 07-09-2009, 04:10 AM

true... ill have to pre order it as the 32gb is out of stock... but then again.. i could just go for the 16gb...

This is good stuff. Im going to have to check it out.

**kwall** · 07-09-2009, 04:29 PM

a little off tangent but look at apples release pattern. iPhone -> ipod touch 1g -> 3g -> ipod 2g -> 3gs -> ipod 2gs? id love a crap load of memory and speed in an ipod

thanks for the background update the pandora glitch rele annoyed the crap outta me
