Did you just purchase Prowl only to find out that it does not work on jailbroken iPhones? The creator of Prowl is aware that jailbroken iPhone will not properly register and thus push notifications will not work on most some jailbroken iPhones.
Prowl is an application that lets you push pretty much anything to your iPhone. As long as you are using Growl on your mac or windows(in beta) Prowl will push all of your Growl notifications to your iPhone. The possiblities are endless!
THE FIX:
Most people who have jailbroken their iPhones have mobilesubstrate installed and probably SBSettings. In order to get Prowl push notifications working on your jailbroken iPhone you need to reboot your iPhone into safe mode and then launch Prowl and let it register your iPhone.
You can do this by opening SBsettings. Hit Power. Then press Safe Mode. Once you are in safe mode just open up the Prowl app and it will register your iPhone. You can now reboot into regular mode and growl push notifications will be working.
Nice! Now i have prowl working! 🙂
sweet! this works for me now too!
Tried several times… didn’t work 🙁
Not sure what’s up…
M5DeViL do push notifications work with other apps for you?
Worked PERFECTLY thank you so much! Don’t forget push has to already work (great TUT on iClarified) for Prowl to work
Hmm.. mine refuses to boot into Safe mode. Any ideas?
Thanks!
nevermind this did NOT fix it. it works for a bit. but then something else seems to reset it again and your phone becomes unregistered with prowl once more.
I push mail setup with nuevasync and it works perfectly. Beejive email alerts work as well.
So far Prowl is the only app not responding, mainly because my device is not detected when checking online.
Tried all possible reported fixes, just no go.
What other apps can I test with to check if push notification work or not?
Thanks
Prowl/Growl is the only Push app that I find not reliable. BeejiveIM and AIM work perfectly. I find it works when I load it in Safe Mode but only for a while. Not sure what’s the cause.
I have just did this, and it made prowl notifications work!
However, other comments say it doesn’t last. I will see if it does or not.
Still working great for me! Thanks for the tip.
It works 🙂
On iOS 4.2.1 this trick doesn’t work for me… Am I doing something wrong here?
