• iPhone Unlocked

  I bought an iPhone 4 a year and a half ago when I was in US. I thought I could unlock it easily to any telco. However after a few months, no one is able to come up with an unlock app. It was really sad because I couldn’t use it in Malaysia. I wonder why Apple wants to sell locked phones.

  After 2-3 months, someone release Gevey SIM and I could use to connect to my local country telco. At least, I can phone with it. I was happy again!

  A few weeks back, I heard that I can unlock the iPhone using IMEI code. I found someone in the internet that can do it for me. If I fully unlocked the phone, I can either sell it or give it to someone to use it, if I choose to use my free Samsung Note.

  Finally, my iPhone is fully unlocked and I can use any telco on it. *grinning* If you want to unlock your iPhone 4, let me know. I know someone who can do it for small fees.

  
  
  

• iPhone: Angry Gran

  Finally after months of playing Angry Gran, I collected enough virtual money to buy the Light Saber. I like this game because it releases my stress. Just whack the things virtually but don’t do it in real life. You get money every time you whack something. You can buy new tools for whacking like a bat, Christmas tree, rubber chicken and of cos the Star Wars Light Saber.

  If you want a stress reliever, you can download this app.

  I am a fan of Hong Kong radio. RTHK was the first internet radio I discovered years ago. Now it has an iPhone apps and you can listen to Hong Kong radio using Wifi. How cool is that? To install, go to your appStore and search for RTHK. The icon below would appear and just click install.

  
  
  

  Whenever I am working from home, I would switch it on. Some of the DJ is really humorous. Humor does relieve me from a stressful workday.

  
  
  

• Upgrade 2G iPhone To 3.1.3

  06.01.10 |iPhone| Permalink | 1 Comment

  I wanted to install the camera applications for a long time but it needs 3.1.3. I procrastinated until my iPhone performance deteriorated. Maybe I installed too many apps.

  First step was to Google for instructions. I found a couple but I was looking for the easiest way. There are no posts that gave end to end instructions. I tell you, I made a couple of mistakes but finally got it working.

  So here are the steps:
  1. Install the latest iTunes. Click here.

  2. Backup your current iPhone. *Important step if you don’t want to reinstall all your apps*

  3. Download 3.1.3 firmware for iPhone 2G. Click here.

  4. Set your phone to DFU mode and launch iTunes. iTunes will asked you to restore your firmware. Press Shift and click Restore button. Browse for iPhone1,1_3.1.3_7E18_Restore.ipsw (downloaded in step #3). Wait for it to install 3.1.3 firmware.

  5. Follow the rest of the step here. Take note, only select “Install Cydia” and “Unlock”. Do not select “Already Pwned”

  6. After jailbreak, you can launch iTunes to restore your backup. Everything will be back to the original setting. You don’t even need to rearrange your icons. The only apps that are missing are those install through Cydia.

  All the best!

• iPhone: Ice Tycoon

  Do you like selling ice-cream? Well now you can do it virtually on iPhone with Ice Tycoon. This is another game that I like because it tests my memory and speed. I have to remember all the ice-cream combinations of the customers’ orders.

  

  Your mission is to get the targeted sales for each level. Each time you sell an ice-cream, you get money. If you make the wrong ice-cream, you need to throw it inside the bin. That will cost you money. You also need to refill the ice-cream or the toppings if they run dry. That will also cost some money, so only refill when you need it.

  

  Believed me if you want to fill young again, do exercise your brain. This is a simple game that allows you to do that.

• iPhone: Farm Frenzy

  This is another cool game, some of you may have seen this in Facebook. Now it is on iPhone. It is a game where you are given a mission on completing some farming task. It is also testing your time management and cash flow too. If you beat the clock, you get a gold or silver medal.

  I like the graphics and any kids can have fun with it. There are different animals given to you like the chicken that lays the egg, sheep that produce the wool and cow to produce the milk, of cause. The cat is to help you pick the products in the field and the dog is to prevent the big bear from killing your stuff.

  Besides the above, you need to buy equipment to turn your produce to something else. Like egg to make flour and later cake. Milk to make cheese. Wool to make thread and later cloth. Each end product can fetch you lots of money. The ultimate goal is to beat the clock and get more money.

  Oooh, I heard now iPhone has Farm Frenzy 2. Need to download this….

• iPhone: Finger Piano

  04.05.10 |iPhone, Uncategorized| Permalink | 1 Comment

  I always wanted to learn to play the piano when I was young. I took classes when I was 13 but the teacher was not good and he failed to teach me. Or maybe I do not have any music talent. My gal has been attending classes and I am learning from her.

  Every time I played a new song, I get the satisfaction. Of coz my gal coordination is better than me.

  Yesterday while I was surfing iTunes Apple store using my iPhone, I found this finger piano. I download the free version. I like it after playing with it. It allows me to learn play song using on a digital music keyboard. It is cool. It is easy but only thing is it uses finger. They have the PC version too.

  
  
  

  The music key will fall and you play the key on the music keyboard, the note on the keyboard will be highlighted too. You can play the entire song with your finger. Pretty cool. The lite version is free and you want more song, you have to pay USD$1.99. A good way to learn how to play music too.

  The best is that you get a full piano keyboard on your iphone to play any song you want or created. Download it to create your own music.

• Tethering With iPhone 2G

  02.13.10 |iPhone| Permalink | Comments Off on Tethering With iPhone 2G

  In lay man’s term, I can surf the internet on my notebook using Internet connection from my iPhone. How cool is that? Yeah I am in KL now, no free broadband available. I have to make do with my iPhone internet.

  After researching I found a very simple solution using PDANet software. PDANet will make my iPhone into a router. Cool eh?

  First step is to create a adhoc wireless network. I am using Win XP wireless. To do that, go to Control Panel -> Network Connections, select Wireless Network Connection & View Wireless Connection. Go to Change Advance Settings -> Wireless Network -> Add. Create a SSID, uncheck “The key is provided for me automatically”, create a network key for security purposes, check “This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network; wireless access points are not used”. Everything else is default. Now connect to the newly created SSID.

  Once you have done that, go to your iPhone & install PDANet using Cydia. The phone needs to be jailbreak first if haven’t done so. Next go to your wifi and select the newly created SSID and key in the password. Run PDANet, it should detect your notebook. Finally open a browser and start surfing as you are CONNECTED.

  Very cool!

• iPhone Transformer Theme

  I just upgraded my iPhone firmware from 2.0 to 2.1 My friend sent me a link from iClarified and instructions were clear. The only mistake I made was I didn’t upgrade my iTunes before doing the upgrade. Result, my latest backup didn’t work. Sigh.

  Thank goodness I have a July backup. However some of the photos, SMS and notes I took vanished.

  The reason I wanted to hop on to 2.1 is because it is more stable and I wanted some applications that is on 2.1. Hey 2.1 also come with a installer.app

  The best part I can have transformer theme and other cute themes.

  
  
  

  In order to install these themes, I need to download the themes from www.spaziocellulare.com. It has the most collection of themes. You also need to install WinterBoard from Cydia, the other installer. Lastly you ftp the themes into iPhone using WinSCP.
