The MMS settings for T-Mobile on iOS 5 are the exact same as iOS 4. Currently the easiest way to get MMS working on tmobile is to jailbreak and install the fix from our repo.
Now what happens if you have an unlocked iPhone 4S running on T-Mobile like I do? Well, right now there is no way to jailbreak the iPhone 4S and so you can’t get MMS working. Don’t worry, LEI Mobile has your back. If you have a factory unlocked iPhone and DO NOT want to Jailbreak or cant’t Jailbreak but want MMS settings for T-Mobile I have a solution.
First off here are the correct MMS settings for T-Mobile on iOS 5.
Jailbreaking Required Settings:
Please add our Cydia repo to find the iPhone MMS Fix for T-Mobile.
Our Repo is http://beta.leimobile.com/repo/
To install our repository you will open up Cydia. Click on Manage at the bottom. Click On Edit in the top right. Click Add in the top left. Type http://beta.leimobile.com/repo/ and then press Add Source. Then Click on the LEI Mobile source and install the T-Mobile MMS Fix or the Simple Mobile MMS Fix if you have Simple Mobile.
Once you install the fix you will need to reboot your phone and go into Settings->General->Network-> Cellular Data Network and make sure the APN is correct for both your data APN and your MMS APN. All other settings should be filled in. Depending on your plan you may have different settings. If you don’t know the correct settings try them all. The most common is epc.tmobile.com and wap.voicestream.com. Others include internet2.voicestream.com and internet3.voicestream.com
Here is a video to help out:
Now if you have a factory unlocked iPhone and do not want to jailbreak to get MMS working on T-Mobile you can do some tweaking to your backup files.
1. First things first. Make a full backup of your iPhone in iTunes.
2. Download the program iBackupBot. Make sure to select Mac or Windows. You may use the free trial, but it is best to purchase!
3. Launch iBackupBot and just hit OK to all of the messages that may pop up. It may take a while to load all the device information if you have multiple backups saved on your computer.
4. Once loaded you will want to find your most recent backup on the left had side and select it.
5. Next you will see a list of files show up in the righthand box. Scroll down until you see Library/Preferences/com.apple.mms_override.plist.
6. Double click on the mms override.plist and it will pop up a box to edit the file.
7. Download this com.apple.mms_override.plist (mirror link here) and paste the contents into the box or manually write it out based on the picture below. Then Save and Close the file.
8. Now put a checkmark in the box next to Library/Preferences/com.apple.mms_override.plist and then click on File at the top and select restore.
9. iBackupBot will restore this new edited file onto your iPhone.
10. Bonus: Get a FREE $100 iTunes Gift Card!
How To Delete Photos From iCloud Photo Stream
So you turned iCloud on when you upgraded to iOS 5 and also switched on Photo Stream only to find some embarrassing pictures syncing to all of your devices including iPhoto. Now you want to delete that picture but cant figure out how? Currently Apple has no way of deleting a single photo. All you can do is delete all of your pictures from photo stream.
In order to delete a single photo one must log into their iTunes account at iCloud.com.
1. Click on your name in the upper right hand corner and it will bring up your account options.
2. Click On Advanced and you will see the Reset Photo Stream button. Clicking this button will remove all your Photo Stream photos from iCloud. Once removed, they cannot be recovered, but you can re-upload any photos you’d like to restore to your Photo Stream from a Mac or PC. It will not remove any photos that have already been downloaded to your iOS device or computer.
3. Now if you want to remove the photos from your devices you have to go to Settings -> iCloud -> Photo Stream and turn off Photo Stream and then turn it back on.
4. If you want to remove them from your Mac in iPhoto, you will need to go to preferences -> Photo Stream. Turn it off and then turn it back on.
5. If you want to remove them from a Windows PC, you can delete the photos from the default folder location: C:\Users\Apple\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream

First things first. Go to http://jailbrea.kr/ to determine if and how you can jailbreak. In this guide I will show you how to jailbreak an iPhone 4 running iOS 5 via Windows. This will be the same exact procedure on a Mac.
Please note that this is a tethered jailbreak. This means you will have to hook your iDevice up to the computer every time you reboot. Also note that this guide WILL NOT work for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2. You will also need to make sure that you have iTunes 10.5 installed.
1. Download RedSn0w from the iPhone Dev Team: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/redsn0w-iOS5 You will want to choose Windows or Mac. The current version as of writing this is redsn0w_0.9.9b6
2. Open RedSn0w and click on Jailbreak and install Cydia.
3. You will then need to make sure your device is plugged in and powered off. Follow the onscreen instructions to put your iDevice into DFU mode.
4. A bunch of code and jailbreaking commands will flash on your screen and eventually your device will reboot.
5. You will notice a white icon that says Cydia. Since we have jailbroken the device we need to boot into tethered mode before Cydia will work. We also have to do these next steps anytime we reboot the device as this is a tethered jailbreak.
6. Hit back on RedSn0w if you still have it open or go into the Extras option.
7. From here you will see the following features:
8. Select just boot tethered right now.
9. You will need to turn your device off and plug it into the computer again and follow the instructions to get into DFU mode.
10. Once it sees you are in DFU mode, RedSn0w will run some code and boot your iDevice in a jailbroken state. Congratulations you have jailbroken iOS 5!

Fabrix Cases just released a case called Fifth October, which is a tribute to Steve Jobs.
The passing of Steve Jobs is a great lost to the entire Mac Community or rather, to the world. He was a true visionary, a great leader and an inspiring soul destined to changed the world. He has connected the world with his passion and his ideas. He challenged conventions and shaped the way we enjoyed technology today. Here at Fabrix, we would like to pay a tribute to him, cause without him, we would not be doing what we love today.
We have hence created a special tribute sleeve to immortalize him. We named this special edition sleeve ‘Fifth October’ because that is the day the world lost Steve Jobs.
Throughout Steve’s Apple career, his trademark look spotting the black turtleneck top paired with blue jeans has garnered a cult following and we figured that is exactly how we would like to remember him as. With that image in mind, we created the sleeve in black and blue denim split into halves and stitched together in ultra minimalism style.
As a form of respect to him, this sleeve will not bear any branding or labels. It will be shipped in a special drawer box in Black and Gold. Each sleeve will come with a random quote card, bearing a message from Steve Jobs that we feel has inspired us.
This sleeve will retail at a non-profitng price of US$10 because we believe that every and anyone who would like to own it should be able to do so without a pinch (we just need to recover the costs on our side).
*Note : Each sleeve is completely handmade in Singapore while each quote card is individually hand printed and stamped in Singapore as well. Hence, no 2 sleeves or quote cards are the same. These sleeve are not made using sweatshop labor nor are they mass-produced in China.
So go and grab your Fifth October memorial case today!
