If you find yourself having to repeatedly enter in your log in credentials on mobile websites like Google Reader or Facebook when browsing with your iPhone or iPod Touch, you may have a problem with the Safari browser not keeping your cookies around long enough. The fix can easily be remedied with a simple Installer app called iRemember. The iRemember app will make an ownership and permissions modification to your cookies file which will fix your iPhone’s short term memory loss and save those cookies.

From iRemember’s developer iSpazio:

iRemember is an utility that will fix the Safari Cookies on 1.1.4 Firmware. There is an huge bug on 1.1.4 firmware (and possibly 1.1.3), for some iPhone setups. In fact after you log into a website from Safari (as Gmail, Facebook and all the others) when you get back after having closed Safari, it’ll keep ask you to login again. This gets quickly extremely frustrating, and, as you suspect, it’s a common bug. To Fix it we only need to run a command called “chown”. And this is exactly what iRemember does. The own will change from “root” to “mobile” and Safari will save our cookies, and will not continuously ask to log into the same website.

To install iRemember on your iPhone or iPod:

  1. This only works on jailbroken iPhones so jailbreak it if it is not already.
  2. Launch the Installer app
  3. On the bottom, click the globe icon “Sources.”
  4. Click the edit bottom on the top right, then click the “Add” button on the top left.
  5. Add http://repo.ispazio.net to your list of sources.
  6. Install the iRemember app by searching for “iRemember” in “All Packages.”
  7. After the installation iRemember notifies you that the change is complete and you can actually uninstall iRemember as the change will persist even after it is uninstalled. And it doesn’t really make sense to keep this app around since it’s a one-time act.
