What is the difference between unblocking and jailbreaking a cell phone. (I have an iphone 4s). Is there an advantage? and if for some reason I find that I don't need it, can I reset it to its original factory setting?
Answer
Unlocking (rather than unblocking) is a term used when you remove the carrier lock from a phone. What that means is a AT&T iPhone will only work on AT&T service however if you unlock it, it will now work with other gsm carriers like tmobile or foreign carriers.
Jailbreak is the process of hacking into the phone to allow you to clstomize it to your liking with out the restrictions that the phone was produced with. It basicaly give you access to cydia which is like a third party app store. Some common reason people jailbreak would be to customize their phones icons and to instal mods and tweaks to add cool features to the phone that apple didn't want on it or to even get some official apple apps that usually cost money but instead for free. And lastly if available one of the mods would be to unlock the phone. That's where people get confused.
An unlock may be available through the jailbreak (Cydia) but the jailbreak itself is NOT an unlock.
Typically if you jailbreak and decide you don't want it you should be able to restore it through iTunes but occasionally you may run into problems "activating" it from the activation process that you need to complete after you restore an iPhone. That process was introduced when iOS 5 was released. There's a lot of factors that pertain to whether or not a simple restore would fully clear the jailbreak and let you activate it normally after the restore. If you're having someone do it for you then it's best to ask them that question. I kinda stopped keeping up on jailbreaking news and stuff about a 8 months ago and things may be different now but what I explained above regarding the definition of unlocking and jailbreaking is still true.
And lastly (sorry I know I'm rambling) you ask if there's an advantage, of course there is. If you plan of switching carriers but wanna keep using your iPhone then an unlock would be required.
As for the advantages of the jailbreak, that's endless. Anything from small tweaks like having a five icon dock rather than four to being able to remap your hard keys to do different actions such as using you volume button to snap a photo (i know its available on stock iphones now but thats been possible through the jailbreak long before apple made it a feature) to even having the ability to download 5 dollar apps for free (keep in mind that's still considered piracy). I personally love having a jailbreak but there are downsides, for example it does make your device a bit unstable if you don't know what you're doing and go download happy and download tweaks and stuff that may not be compatible with your firmware version and also you can't update the firmware without losing your jailbreak and having to rejailbreak it.

What is a good android app to hide photos and download them?
Ken
OK we all have Those things we don't want anyone to see. My phone upgrade is coming up and Instead of another Iphone I have decided to get the Galaxy S4. Now on my Iphone right now I have an app where I have "business" stored, hidden in it. I know there are a ton of apps that do that in google play. But Something that I have come to love about my app is that it has a browser built into it. I download anything from the browser and it is saved, hidden in the app. That is a must because I want to be able to have my normal internet browser and my "confidential" browser with there own bookmarks and history. I have one more thing that app will need. For the photos/videos I need to be able to have folders in folders in folder...ect I like to keep it all organized. Thanks for the help.
