As you might know, iPhone alarms didn’t work on New Year’s day 2011 for many users.
Apple had acknowledged the iPhone alarm bug and had reassured users that the issue will resolve itself on January 3rd.
But it’s January 3rd and the news is trickling in that the iPhone alarm didn’t work for some users resulting in them being late to work on the first working day of 2011.

iPhone Dev Team had released PwnageTool and Redsn0w that allowed users to update their iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS’s baseband to 06.15.00 along with Ultrasn0w 1.2 to unlock it few days back.
Some users have reported significant loss of GPS signal after upgrading to baseband 06.15.00. iPhone Dev team has also confirmed that though baseband 06.15.00 is capable of GPS, it might require further hacks.
We had reported yesterday that iPhone users who had unlocked their iPhone using a combination of PwnageTool or Redsn0w to update baseband to 06.15.00 and Ultrasn0w 1.2 for iOS 4.2.1 were observing poor battery life.

It tricks your iPhone and iTunes into creating legitimate activation tickets even though you’re unlocked with Ultrasn0w.
