I recently just bought an iphone 3gs and was wondering whether or not the celcom broadband advanced plan for 5gb a month would suffice if i were to use the gps? or tethering.. smile.gif
*
Most of GPSs rely on satellite rather than using 3g or wifi. Should be sufficient if you use it just for normal use (emails, safari, tethering, etc) and not heavy use (download heavily).

I think the jb is fine cox I can get all the information from the sim.. It just cannot get signal, no services.. Possible hardware problem?

You try to restore once over again. If problem still persist you should consult any hardware technician nearby.

bro yez, what shud do when wifi signals turns on and off frequently? i reset the network settings and its still the same? any suggestion?

If reset network settings but problem still there, then you can proceed to restore. Restore does not solve problem still, then might due to your weaken wifi chip. Its time to change. flex.gif

Claiming maxis set iphone(non-contract) warranty need any details from the actual buyer?

By right you can just take the warranty card and claim from any Maxis centre. If its not working, first owner's number is only needed along side with warranty card. First owner present is unnecessary. Just ma 2cents.

Hi, I really need some help with my father iPhone 3GS rite now.
Yesterday, he upgrade his 3GS to IOS4 and after that upgrade his sim has been locked.
I already download IOS3.1.3 firmware and try to jailbreak it but because of lack of knowledge about jailbreaking and the jailbreaker like snowbreeze,redsnow,etc says they didnt recognize or something so I decide to skip that part
So I try to restore back without jailbreaking it in DFU mode but i got 3194 error.
I did the restoration using IOS 3.1.3
There's a picture below that shows what is happening to that iPhone 3GS

[attachmentid=1660217]
Do anyone know how to repair this? He really need this iPhone cause some of his work have to use this gadget.
I'm a newbie in this board so if there is any mistake please let me know...
*
Apple signs 4.0 firmwares now. You cannot upgrade ( or downgrade ) and 3GS to a firmware that Apple doesn't sign anymore unless you tapped on "Make my life easier" within Cydia and you follow these instructions: http://www.saurik.com/id/12

If you never save any shsh before, then you have no choice but to stay locked in 4.0 OS. There is another alternative, you can make your iPhone now function as iPod if you have sim card that locked to your iPhone. For instance, you must have at&t sim card if your set is locked to At&t (US).

Can anyone gimme the clues...
what is SHSH?


Added on July 5, 2010, 10:46 am

My father bought it at Paris...  sweat.gif


Added on July 5, 2010, 10:51 am
This set comes from Paris and do I have to go to paris to get the sim? doh.gif Is there any other sim like universal sim that can be used to unloack it?
Because at first the phone juz said Invalid Sim, but after a while it locked the sim.
What do you mean by hardware downgrade? sweat.gif

Sorry, totally newbie here...
*
When in firmware 3.1.3, did your father saved SHSH into cydia? if your father did, you can downgrade it into 3.1.3 and unlock it back.. you should did it BEFORE os4.0 launched.. If your father didnt, then no choice man..
you only can stick with os4 and it cant be unlock/jailbreak at the moment.. you can activate it with France sim card BUT still, the carrier wont be there... only can be used as iPod..

Hardware unlock charges will be around RM200-RM500..
it required the technician to change the whole iPhone board..

To be truth, my father have zero knowledge about this gadget. He juz use it to communicate n settle his work only sweat.gif
He said when the first time he bought this phone, my father already ask the seller to Jailbreak n unlock it for him. But I dont think that the seller do some saved into CYDIA. Btw, how can i check that this iPhone had save it into cydia?
So do you mean that if I buy as sim from french and insert it into iPhone, I still cant unlock it?
haiyooo nanges already  cry.gif
instead of hardware unlock, is there any software lock or have to wait the Dev-team to find a way to unlock it?
Money money money  doh.gif

You cant check. its either you confirm it with the person who jailbroken your dad's device. Or else, you try to downgrade yourself. If failed, means that shsh has not been saved.

Even you buy a french sim, you only can make it function as iPod. Somehow you need to wait for the latest release of Jb tool.

ok let me understand it hehe..
it means if I buy a french sim, I still cant downgrade it because IOS4 block it? so I'll stuck with IOS4 eventhough I manage to unlock it using French sim hurm...
so maybe if I wait for newer JB it will solve my problem.. rclxub.gif  biggrin.gif
If I do the Hardware Unlock, will it solve my problems 100%
*
yeap... for now just keep it first and wait until the latest JB tool release..
and, if you do hardware unlock, your device will be official unlock.. no need to bother about unlock thingy in the future..

And do find for the reputable technician to do it.. Dont let them mess with your device tongue.gif

IMO, its hardware problem. You could try to claim warranty from Maxis. If worst comes to worst, consult local hardware technician.

Bro, not awesome if you open a tread just for this. Give extra work to Mod sad.gif

I could really use some help.

In the past i could save one number for a contact with the area code included (e.g. 555-555-5555) and the caller ID would pick up the name for the corresponding number if i got a text or phone call, but now all of a sudden the name would only show up for a text if i save the number as (+1-555-555-5555), so i have to save the same number in my contacts like 3 times different ways.

How can I change the settings back to the way they where?

Cant help you much, never encounter this problem before. Read more on this, solution might be in there.

Clearly it is locked again because you had updated firmware thru iTunes. And bear in mind yours in locked set. You are here just like waiting for durian to drop by itself. You said you cant find anything in internet for hours, i type in google within few seconds i got the solution. Teaching you step by step is just like spoon feeding a baby man. Nevertheless i had PM you the solution. Cant discuss it here thou.

Errr .... it said "insert a valid sim with no pin lock to activate iphone" does not mean that the phone is lock.

@rendezvous_pc
Did you activate PIN password for your sim? If so, put it in other phone and remove the PIN password and try again with your iPhone.
*
Seriously? The error "insert a valid sim with no pin lock to activate iphone" pop up on the iPhone as soon after he restored not iTunes. This only can be done by inserting original sim card (locked to which telco carrier) to activate it. It was not about the sim pin or what. If he didnt insert any sim in the phone, the error will still pop up eventually.

If he doesnt has the original telco sim, he can solve this by jailbreaking. In order him to hactivate the iPhone.

Hi guys, i am from stocks tread. I just get my iphones. Need sifus here help. Kinda a super noob here.

1. I can't view stocks price at www.osk188.com & trading platform (it run on Java...) any advise ?

2. What is the best application to view or write Words, Excell from email attachment ? 

Thanks

1) iPhone dont run on java. I had google some source to support my statement.
Source: http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/9731

2) The best application to view excel & words for me is "documents to go". You have to buy it @ iTunes store. Most of the applications enable you to view the file only, but not edit or write.
