@wen9x88,
iYah.... Just sync with iTunes. Your Notes will appear in your Microsoft Outlook! Which part of the instructions do U not understand ah?!

Hi all,

Anyone experience calling problem as in call a number, get through, then was cut off. Then have to call back again.

This happens when my Iphone 3GS with Celcom 3G sim card.

Other SIM like Maxis and Celcom 2G sim card is fine...

Need some help here please.

Thanks.

@seattle77 & wassap,
On the contrary, when you're on 3G phone calls can come in. Apparently, U aren't able to surf EDGE/3G when you're on a call though.

iPhone Generation : 3GS
Unlocked? (or Part Number): Maxis
Current Firmware : 3.01
iTunes Version : 8.2
Jailbreaking software : No
Problem Encountered : Just wan to inform, i dont have any problem on my phone.

I have noticed that i3GS reception worse on 3g than edge/gprs signal.. the signal bar very low between 1-2 bar.. but full strength when i turn 3g off. Especially when you hold the phone(right hand), the 3g signal from 4-5 bars dramatically drop down to 1 bar in few seconds.. when i put down the phone back, the 3g signal going up again.. however, this is not effecting to edge/gprs signal when u hold the phone.

Steps Taken So Far : Try Maxis and Celcom, same result.. Test at Sg Buloh and Bukit Jalil, same result.. OS 3.0 and OS 3.01 same result..

to be really honest, it would be extremely hard to prove to maxis that you are currently holding a faulty unit (from your reception "experiments"). the onus is on you.

my best bet? to ensure that you are not hallucinating, biased et cetera, is to exchange with a friend who is using the 3G S as well and from a different area.

let him/her to experience your unit for a few days and see how it goes. if the problem still persists, then your claim against maxis would be more believable and substantial.

i have used australian 3GS unit before for a week, same result.. 50% low strength and 50% good strength bar.. try it ur self, put ur phone down and when the signal going tu 4-5 bars, take and hold the phone(bottom to half), use ur right hand and wait for few seconds.. make sure u turn 3g on..

then nothing is wrong your maxis bound unit. you may be unfortunate to be in a network "loophole" (i could only speculate).

for example over here, i have identified a few spots that when the buses/trains go by that area, i lose 3G connectivity immediately.

Yo guys, I have this question for very long edi, today finally remembered to post it up.

Anyone knows how to create a wifi ad-hoc connection from an iphone? You know like, wanna play Real racing with a fren, but no routers nearby. On a laptop we can create ad hoc for lan play, can iphone do that? haha

OK mod, please merge this thread to any thread if you think it is not necessary for me to open a new one..

This is my prob:-

I bought iphone 3Gs from Maxis and jailbreak it. It works find for a few weeks. Then today, after friday prayer, I saw my Iphone cannot get any signal from Maxis.

1- i tried to on and off again many times but still cannot get a signal
2- Take out the simcard and put back in but still no success
3- swap my sim to my friend phone still cannot use my sim to his phone and he also cannot use his sim to my phone. He using Maxis postpaid while im using prepaid
4- reformat my phone still cannot get any signal.

What's the problem actaully? I didn't drop it. Treat it like my wife. So, any ideas? Is it the sim card problem or the iphone itself?

alright. now that it is merged, i can try to help (i didn't report it)

at step 4, did you attempt to restore as a new iPhone or from previous backup?

Added on August 28, 2009, 8:30 pmhowever you have tried using your SIM card on another (another) phone?

because if it still fails, i think you should have the SIM card checked first.

weird because, SIM cards are purportedly to be extremely resilient

Its ok..i also hope that mod merge it. Anyway, after the restored process, it goes back to the old setting cause i already set a backup for this phone. Anyway, thank for reply

you shouldn't use the backup. opt for a fresh copy instead, as shown in the picture belwow

actually i don understand.
after tranfer the note to iphone,then how to open it in iphone and read ?

@wen9x88,
In ur iPhone there's an application called Notes. The notes you have stored in there will be available in your Microsoft Outlook and vice versa. Now U faham tak?!

After using an application, does pressing the home button quit the application completely? As in like it's no longer running in the background.
