i will be more than happy to be corrected, if your friend can actually produce a URL originating from apple stating that.

AFAIK, there is no such thing.

it has always been stable for me.

firmware upgrades have always done good for me (with the exception of OS3.0 with the slight heat build up issue)

Dutch Hacker Holds Jailbroken iPhones Hostage For Ransom



Many of us have jailbroken our iPhones, but did everyone remember to change the default root password? Those guilty of that oversight are vulnerable to the simple intrusion method this guy used to hold iPhones hostage in the Netherlands.

Apparently all that it took to terrify many dutch iPhone users was a “trivial” port scanning technique and “a modicum of networking know-how”. After the hacker gained access to the jailbroken phones with unchanged root passwords, he sent the pictured message which led to a demand for a €5 ($8) PayPal payment and words of caution:



This particular gentleman was almost kind. He didn’t inflict any serious harm, only demanded a small optional payment and limited his activity to the Netherlands. Whoever learns from his approach might not be as nice. The lesson, my darlings? Change your root passwords if you’ve got a jailbroken iPhone. I finally did.

well, the main point being highlighted here is ignorance.

everyone wants to jump on board to jailbreak their iPhones but have no clue with regard to it. even worse to precipitate the problem, they refuse to research further.

hence to be honest, for work and P & C related e-mails, it is better dealing with a blackberry

this is what i did, for both my MBP and XP (via bootcamp):

transfer your songs to match at least 95% of the original contents in your previous windows to the MBP - crucial to ensure that iTunes doesn't erase the contents on your current iPhone.

then synchronise the iPhone once. iTunes should make a new backup on your MBP now.

do-able, but requires jailbreaking

yes.

yes.

erm, all the four iPhones i have had, still have the saved games and applications well (for example, i didn't have to re-log into my beejive)

anyway if it does backfire, you can always restore from your windows iTunes no?

tunggu i balik kat KL dulu lerrr...

maklumlah aku ni the unofficial TT organiser! ha ha

seriously, such polls are a waste of time and space TBH and i'm relatively an open minded person.

every human being is unique and how they perceive "nice" and value differ greatly.

depending on taste and criteria; some might prefer a translucent case? leather? synthetic material? bling bling approximate? fabric?

whilst i'm at it, perhaps i ought to contemplate opening a poll asking LYN males' preference with regard to female hairstyle; dyed, short, shoulder length, bleached, fringe-less et cetera. you get my drift...

for text messages, you can opt for the periodic-buzzes feature for unread messages.

PC?

in my computer, locate your iPhone and explore.

copy the desired videos and paste accordingly.

not sure about the rest, but i'm inclined to help girls (no exceptions) everyone who requires help.

hmm do you know that, in order for iPhone browser to work, you have to jailbreak your unit beforehand?

if it is genuine, then yes.

Added on November 16, 2009, 3:32 pmboy it was such a fiasco in the maxis TTDI yesterday (and this problem of mine, actually involved a few forummers here )

touched down in KLIA and bought the hotlink 500MB for rm68 and i could never get it to work! i even got the confirmation text from hotlink, informing me that payment has commenced and the duration period.

tried everything on the book (network reset, dial *100# to active gprs et cetera) and keeps generating "could not activate cellular data network - you are not subscribed to a cellular data service).

rang up hotlink and was told because my unit is not from maxis, that explains the problem. unsatisfied, after that she told me to go maxis TTDI to get the "gprs settings" (???!!!)

patronised the branch and the dude (who happens to be a regular in LYN) suggested that we manually change the APN (via the website).

tried booting up the phone a few times (home and silent simultaneously) and it just will not go through the apple logo.

so i had to restore my phone as a new phone in the maxis TTDI (and lost partial of my data!) and only to find out, they can actually enable "something something" on their system for me to experience internet on my iPhone.

all that shenanigan for nothing!

i don't know la. but it was done through their system.

so when it was feasible for me to get online on both his iPhone and mine, i proceeded to ask him, "so, all of our previous attempts were not necessary, if we have done that first?"

he sheepishly said "possibly"

nevertheless, i appreciated his help and his company as he was explaining how things work in maxis et cetera throughout the ordeal

i believe it is only applicable to hotlink users.

because like you and the rest, postpaid users don't really face such qualms.

oh? i was waiting for stringfellow to come back dulu. from his profile, i reckon 19th? takpa, nanti i PM dia jap.

it was fine la. i'm not blaming him or anything to be honest. even with apple, it is recommended that you backup your unit before leaving the house.

if it was anything more, i actually have myself to blame because i should have known better (since i'm the allegedly experienced one) before heading to maxis TTDI. i thought it was just a simple procedure.

my entire collection of flirtatious, text messages sent by numerous female acquaintances are now gone! nothing precious inside my iPhone as i did subscribe to the mobileme plan and restoration was painless and quick.

that aside, i'm more than happy to be connected 24/7 now and i could never imagine myself without data after getting "addicted" to it during my tenancy in australia.

yeah. i'm trying la... psyeo is also keen on coming and he is not from the klang valley region

open your mouth and i shall spoon-feed you

just purchase a universal adapter converter (or if you have the dough, purchase the complete set from apple)

erm, not sure how is the system now, but during my 3G days, when i purchased a xpax (celcom prepaid) pack and the bloke manning the counter was quick to spot that i was using an iPhone and told me that i'll be needing a "special and out of ordinary" sim card for the data connection to work.

he said that it is recommended since this maneuver has proven to be beneficial for iPhone users on celcom.

i have used the blackberry pearl before and the iPhone since the first generation.

i could only advice if e-mailing is imperative to you, i suggest that you opt for blackberry instead. the push service by blackberry is one of its kind and respectable.

for you to enjoy such a service on the iPhone, your only alternative is to subscribe to the mobile me package.

the default push service on the Yahoo! mail is unfortunately regrettable and its performance fluctuates.

hence i typically use my mobile me e-mail as a forwarding mechanism on my both my Gmail and Yahoo! mail.

that way, my e-mails are purged instantaneously albeit the fact, i get two identical copies of the same e-mail once i open the mail app.
