Now it shows slide to unlock and went to emergency call menu.
And says "would u like to restore ur previous backup" i press yes..
Iphone prompted restore in progress.. and iphone is activated..
am i at the right way..?
*
yes. you are on the right track.

erm, i would recommend that you start up as a new phone.

but if you reckon that you have a lot of important information previously, you might wanna use your backup


Added on March 31, 2010, 12:26 pmbut not to worry, your iPhone is already out of the 'loop' and ready to be use upon completion of the restoration process.

Hello guys.  Super duper iphone noobie here.  I bought a 3GS iphone from a fellow LYN recently and was told that its an AT&T locked iphone from US. It has been JB and running on 3.1.2.  The seller also told me that his friend who took it home from Malaysia told him that its still under warranty and if anything goes wrong, can send it to any Authorised Mac shop in Malaysia and they will fix it. Now you can call me silly and I did not check that they do not take any iphone for repair unless its by Maxis ( and now including Digi).

Everything works perfectly a coupe of weeks after that until my trip to London early March.  Don't know what went wrong but during my stay there I could not get hold of any wifi signal, even if I'm standing next to it.  Came home and tried getting on the internet via 3G but a message came up that says "Cannot Open Page - Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet".

I have tried so many things, shut down, disable EDGE (through SB Setting and from the Setting function-but the "E" keeps appearing once in a while, disable and enable 3G, WiFi etc.  Can anyone help me, please?

BTW, I'm on Celcom network. icon_question.gif
*
contradiction.

i can assure you that if your unit is from AT&T from the states, no one in malaysia (or outside the states) will honour the warranty.

but i truly need some 2nd opinion.
since im goin to buy the iphone tomorrow.

erm, for me, i was thoroughly impressed by the maxis 3G network speed.

and i need to be connected to the net perpetually.

hence given a choice, i will still stick to maxis, albeit the more costly option

Let say i have a lot of applications total of 10 pages.. what's the fastest way to go to page 10 (last page)? I saw there are 10 dots at the bottom of the screen, I thought pressing the last dot will auto get me there.. very time consuming to flip through 10 pages le..

no such feature AFAIK.

tough luck

my advice would be arranging the apps/icons according to priority

dear all fellow iphone users,

can i know for Iphone 3gs, how can I:

1. transfer documents - microsoft application (words,excel, powerpoint) from Iphone to Laptop, Laptop to Iphone?

2. possible to take iphone as Mass Storage where i can store some file/laptop software/documents/etc?

thank you so much.
*
1. i usually just email the documents to myself (you can view microsoft files within the mail app itself) or if i need them perpetually, i will just store the files in my mobileme's iDisk.

2. don't think it is possible. however you maybe able to harness the digital camera folder (accessible when you plug in the USB cable to the PC/MAC) even though i'm not sure if that will corrupt the folder.

alright. i will try to be understanding and attempt to help because you are a gal you seem to be in dire. maxis or any authorised service providers in malaysia will not and never honour your warranty. period.

if your unit is indeed from australia, i would say you are in both bad and good luck.

bad luck, is because you need to find a way to bring the iPhone over to australia.

good news is because apple australia is extremely lenient with their one to one exchange policy (i know because i have done this and helped others as well). if you can justify your case well, an instant one to one exchange will be granted. no questions asked provided your iPhone falls within their warranty policies (no drops, water damages et cetera). since you have mentioned that your iPhone is the 3GS variant, it should still fall within the one year warranty cover.

hence that one problem brushed aside.

instant one to one exchange can only be done at the following locations:

i will not attempt to preach on how you can bring your iPhone to these locations, but i'm sure if you start asking around your friends/relatives/acquaintances, you will be bound to find someone who is travelling to australia; my personal experience.

i got a question
how do i know if i am in a 3g or 3.5g network using iphone?
*
no way.

besides i reckon that it shouldn't concern you so much (if you are in malaysia) because the HSDPA (or so eloquently called the next 3G generation) isn't supported by most of the local carriers.

even in australia, only telstra has it.

they do have it (the technology)

but the GSM frequency bands are not supported.

seriously just do a quick research online.

for starters

This is quite weird, because when I use Nokia, I can see the icon below signal strength sometimes switch from 3G to 3.5G, I thought Maxis have 3.5G already, but actually no?

can you try to scrutinise what i have just said earlier? gosh...

your nokia phone obviously supports that GSM frequency spectrum.

however, iPhone doesn't in some countries (for obvious reasons, if your network doesn't broadcast in the range of GSM frequency supported by the iPhone 3GS, surely you cannot use it?)


Added on April 12, 2010, 9:08 pmlet me quote from the article again and this round point out some hints.
QUOTE
The most common 3G frequencies in Australia are 850Mhz and 2100Mhz which are both supported by the new iPhone along with a third 1900 Mhz frequency

QUOTE
Telstra, Australia's largest mobile operator, have not yet offered the iPhone its customers despite the device being compatible to its high speed Next G 850Mhz network.


QUOTE
"It's important that consumers understand when they are choosing their mobiles that some of these new phones simply won't work properly on other frequencies like 900."

"Just this week Singtel Optus' CEO was claiming a new mobile would operate on its proposed 3G network but failed to mention it was on the wrong frequency. It's like someone claiming they can get cable TV without a cable."

i bought the cygnett car charger but when I use it, the phone saying this device is not supported, etc.

anybody have any idea on what is it bout??
*
just try it for another few more times,

if your iPhone still pops up that statement, then it is likely that it is not supported.

you shouldn't push your luck too much when it comes to chargers; it may damage your unit.

1 question la. Why has my bills boooooooooomed up so rapidly recently? Does using EDGE takes up my data instead of 3G? Or u have to pay for using EDGE? My bills rocketed to MYR300 for the past month and this month's bill havent been issued yet so I dont know whether it will b the same. Oh and does sending or receiving emails have to b paid? Cause I have been sending n receiving emails alot recently. Is that the reason as well? Thanks in advance. smile.gif
*
GRPS, EDGE, 3G, HSDPA are just terms to describe a cellular's connection speed and reliability.

at the end of the day, if you are using data i.e. sending/receiving emails, you have to pay for it regardless of the acronyms.

don't be so stingy and a cheapskate (since you can afford a 3G/3GS) and subscribe to a data pack if you are not willing to pay 300 bucks again.

Just for your info bro. This iPhone im using is not afforded by me. It has been given to me by my bro. I am a stingy and a cheapskate person. I personally applied for the data on Maxis. So I dont know a thing or two about this. My data plan was RM50 per month with 500mb of data. I dont know whether I have used over quota or what and I just need some clarification. That's all.
*
don't take it personally and i do apologise if you were hit by that.

just have a quick search on this subforum alone and see how many 'queries' we had on that. i'm perpetually here and have the first hand experience.

it's better to be a little harsh and get this sort out once and for all.

Some people would get offended by what u wrote. But anyways thanks.
Yes I do know that 500mb isnt enough but I dont really use the data other than mailing. The thing about Maxis is they really didnt notify customers or users that you're reaching the limit. Thanks for the info.

my take at this? you will meet all types of people on the internet and if you are only expecting unrivalled help and kindness, you are obviously in the wrong place.

so pardon me for blowing my own trumpet, but if i'm considered rude, you may be in for a few surprises from the rest.

if a person (not trying to imply you) wants to enjoy a VIP/lavish/spoon-feeding, then he/she (not trying to imply you) should be prepared to pay for such services/treatment.

hence for something free and literally plucked from the sky, he/she (not trying to imply you) better learn to compromise a little.
