Every time there is a new release of iOS by Apple, we for sure came across many new numerous bugs. Those bugs are acceptable sometimes. When the bug becomes personal, so it becomes privacy threatening. If you are a proud owner of an iPhone on iOS 5.0.1 , so you are one of them who is affected by this bug. We are sure that you must not be aware with all of the features of iOS 5 added by Apple.

Special thanks to Canadian Tech consultant,  Ade Barkah, for exposing this bug. The bug allows any one to view your Photos, Videos from your lock screen of iPhone.

lockscreen bug on ios 5

In iOS 5, Apple didn’t made your life easier but also a bit miserable. Apple made a convenient button on your iPhone lock screen which appears after double tapping the home button. The button is not any than a camera button. This was made for the ease of you, so people can take pictures without unlocking their lock screen.

So, we did a video on it to see if this is real or not. See the results below:

This bug really works.

During Ade Barkah’s trip from Canada to Argentina, he found this bug. Some how he managed to update his iPhone on iOS 5.0 during the trip and found out this new iOS 5 glitch.

According to his findings, the bug is based on iPhone’s system time. If you are travelling some where in the world and connect your iPhone to any system with an earlier time zone, so you can easily access your Photos from the lock screen. This bug is purely based on the changing of time.

The change of time occurs by some software glitch or when you connect to any computer with previous time or incorrect time.

This seems to a small bug which can be patched easily by a software update. The iOS 5.1 is around the corner, so we can expect Apple to fix this bug in the next released of iOS 5.1.

If you need a Temporarily solution to get your self secure from this bug, you can put on a passcode lock on your iPhone.

We putted an passcode lock on our iPhone and we were safe. See the video below.

Video Bug Found In Skype App For iPad

by Absar Abdul Rahman - on Aug 21st 2011 - No Comments

Skype has been ruling in the world of free calls since it’s launch. There have been no bug or either any problem identified in the Skype for any device. Well that’s the main growinfg point of Skype.

Few weeks back Skype launched it’s Skype application for Apple’s iPad. It was another hit but don’t know how, we got around a bug in the app. It’s not the first time that we came around the same bug, we have identified it a lot of time. This bug is a Video bug. It simultaneously occurs when you are having a video call.

If I call a person, even he has an iPad the call will run fine but when I add another person into the call who is holding an iPad his Front facing camera will turn on automatically and you will be able to see the other side and it’s not even the Video Call it’s a normal Call.

As you are seeing the rotating wheel, after that the video of the other user turns on. Well this bug is kinda dangerous according to us because it automatically ditches the privacy, so we can hope that Skype in an updated version of it’s next app for iPad will remove this bug rather should remove this bug.
