i believe you will need to consult the IT dept of your uni. i was required to set up a proxy too to connect to my uni's WLAN. handed my i3G to the IT dept for that purpose. smile.gif

I found my iphone chrome got many scratches even I'm using a cover all the while... anyone experience the same problem as mine? I heard some covers will make iphone scratched... is it true? so which model of cover u guys recommend? how to remove the scratches? *sigh sad.gif

thanks
*
get the Brasso metal polish, cost less than 10 bucks and did the job pretty well to remove the hairline scratches. and on question why there still scratches even though you're using a casing? well, there are times when dusts and particles managed to slip into the space between the phone and the case and thus causing the scratches.

try to opt for restore. if that does not solves your problem, you'll have to send in for warranty then.

Thanks..there a mouth full for me to digest....it may take awhile.
I do have one question though....I had my phone fully charge for
8 hours for the first time and it only last me no more than 3 days.
Bare in my I am not a heavy user (at this moment). I am used no
more than 5 minutes call, 3 ~ 5 SMS, about 25MB of network internet
and the rest was sleeping. It this normal?
*
well the standby time for an average user is around a day or two. so, since yours is able to last up to 3 days on minimal usage, i would say that's normal.

Here is my problem. The credit in my iPhone runs out in a couple of days (RM30 prepaid). I have BossPrefs and have turned off the EDGE mode but it still keeps deducting my credit. It has already been the 3rd time. Any solution? Thank you

BossPrefs is old! get SBSettings, disable EDGE/3G and place gibberish words in APN columns.

Hi guys, i just bought secondhand I phone 3G 8G. I just install i tunes to my pc and everything goes well with my i phone. suddenly the i tunes ask whether i want to upgrade from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3. I choose to upgrade, however when the process finish, i cannot log in to my i phone. when i connect the phone to the i tunes, it said that "The sim card inserted does not appear to be supported". and the display at the i phone just show the icon i tunes and usb cable. Anybody could help me because i really need to use this phone urgently....

looks like you got yourself a locked phone. there's no way back for now except to wait for an unlock solution for 3.1.3 (BB 5.12.01), which i doubt would be out that soon.

Hi guys, i got a problem trying to MMS. Can anybody teach me how? Thanks

well, if you're looking for help, it would help if you can at least try to explain what your problem is, eg.

"i can't find a camera icon next to my SMS template"
"my MMS is unable to be sent out"
