@ frozzbyte
inititally, i thought that the service is not available here too, but i checked the coverage map and also call their customer service, seems that i live somewhere smacked in the middle of the 3G area. Thanks for your input. Appreciate it.

@ tinkerbel
Thanks for the links. Appreciate it.

@sembilan
Maybe you can try the sim with other 3G enable phone and test? Just to eliminate the possibility it's caused by iPhone.

@ frozzbyte

Yeah, thats what i am trying to do today. Hehe.

tunggu i balik kat KL dulu lerrr...

maklumlah aku ni the unofficial TT organiser! ha ha

yea yea jom! kita tunggu rabbit balik dulu
organiser ma hahaha, mana big boss davidgary?

I just bought a iphone 3gs last week, and then i went to apply the screen protector in the EPIC at pavilion KL, is a zagg invisible shield. The technician "accidentally" cover the protector over the dock port, i did not realize on that time, i bring my iphone back home and start to charge, when i plugging in the dock connector, i wonder why the connector is hard to be plugged in, once finish charging, i just realize the there is the protector cover half of my dock port, any know what will happen to it? I am extremely worry about it as this is my new iphone, anyone can help me?

i have jailbroken my iphone and replaced the default message tone with a customized tone...
sometimes when i receive a msg...it doesnt ring at all... its like every 10 times i receive a msg, 1 or 2 times my message will be like silent mode...although its not in silent mode.
Anyone facing this problem? or know how to fix it?

@Shine_cy,
If it doesn't bother you then just leave it; or if you have just done it then quickly see if it can be undone, otherwise i guess you've just wasted your iShield. Having said that, U probably use the iShield for a couple of months; once the dirt starts sticking to the side/edges and when it turns yellow you're gonna peel it off

if it makes u feel any better, im facing tat prob since a long time ago,,,
regardless of how many times i restore, customized tones or nt, still like tat...
i tend to ignore tat redi now

yup

i never experienced it when i was using iphone 3g...but when i use 3gs..this problem occured...
you're using 3gs also?

Erm guys. My iPhone3gs gps seems to be not working... I tried to press the small button down left of the maps to obtain location but it tells me "your location could not be determined" WTF? I on enable locAtion services d.. I'm on os3.1.2 official unlocked.

sometimes it's so difficult to send mms. keep failed. CNET has provided a fix for this but i feel really lazy to reset my phone.

any work around on this? thanks..

@LYW,
Are you one of those who put a fake APN to stop data services? If so, disable that to enable data services.

First iPhone worm discovered - ikee changes wallpaper to Rick Astley photo

especially for those who at Oz

Better start changing the root password for those who Jailbreak their phone before your IPhone get rick rolled..

hi im using an iphone 16gb under maxis plan but i dont understand ppl trying to call me but cannot get unless till i call them then maxis will send me a message saying that u have 10miss call etc etc at what time...even if i restart my phone it will be the same ...

First iPhone worm discovered - ikee changes wallpaper to Rick Astley photo



Apple iPhone owners in Australia have reported that their smartphones have been infected by a worm that has changed their wallpaper to an image of 1980s pop crooner Rick Astley.

The worm, which could have spread to other countries although we have no confirmed reports outside Australia, is capable of breaking into jailbroken iPhones if their owners have not changed the default password after installing SSH. Once in place, the worm appears to attempt to find other iPhones on the mobile phone network that are similarly vulnerable, and installs itself again

On each installation, the worm - written by a hacker calling themselves "ikex" - changes the lock background wallpaper to an image of Rick Astley with the message:


What's clear is that if you have jailbroken your iPhone or iPod Touch, and installed SSH, then you must always change your root user password to something different than the default, "alpine". In fact, it would be a good idea if you didn't use a dictionary word at all.

The worm will not affect users who have not jailbroken their iPhones or who have not installed SSH.



SophosLabs is analysing the worm's code, which suggests that at least four variants have been written so far. One of the attributes of the latest variant (labelled the "D" version) is that it tries to hide its presence by using a filepath suggestive of the Cydia application.

The source code is littered with comments from the author suggesting the worm has been written as an experiment. One of the comments berates affected users for not following instructions when installing SSH, because if they had changed the default password the worm would not have been able to infect them.



Presently it appears that the worm does nothing more malicious than spread and change the infected user's lock screen wallpaper. However, that doesn't mean that attacks like this can be considered harmless.

Accessing someone else's computing device and changing their data without permission is an offence in many countries - and just as with graffiti there is a cost involved in cleaning-up affected iPhones.

Other inquisitive hackers may also be tempted to experiment once they read about the world's first iPhone worm. Furthermore, a more malicious hacker could take the code written by ikee and adapt it to have a more sinister payload.

iPhone users may rush into jailbreaking their iPhones in order to add functionality that Apple may have denied to them, but if they do so carelessly they may also risk their iPhone becoming the target of a hacker.

My prediction is that we may see more attacks like this in the future. Indeed, only last week we saw hacked iPhones in the Netherlands being held hostage for 5 Euros.

Who wrote the ikee iPhone worm?
The source code of the worm says at its start:


A quick trawl of the Whirlpool forum where users are reporting that their iPhones are unexpectedly displaying an image of Rick Astley, reveals a user calling themselves "ike_x".

According to ike_x's user profile on the Whirlpool forum his nearest city is Sydney, Australia . Further searching on the internet reveals other pages seemingly related to ike_x of Wollongong, New South Wales, using the name "Ash" or "Ashley Towns". For instance, here is a MySpace page and this appears to be Ash/ikex on Twitter.

The worm's author appears to have realised that people might be interested to learn why he wrote the worm, and posted this explanation inside the code:


There is a certain irony in the notion that a hacker who says he was trying to expose sloppy security by the owners of jailbroken iPhones has done such a bad job of covering his own tracks..

Is this old news?

@kennysan,
It's not suppose to be like that; go into a Maxis centre and let them know the problems you're facing; it could be due to your SIM card.

@bryanyeo,
No it's not old but it's not "news" either since it was oredi posted up about 12 hours earlier

ooo so is not about the phone? is about the sim... i get it now will do ill try to ask maxis then instead of complaining the phone thx tinkerbell
