but it did prompt me to download before i check manually, i accidentally pressed No doh.gif

btw, just wanna ask another question, if i right click -> backup, i will be backing up everything including contacts, sms and configurations for the phone? so after installing new firmware i just need to restore from backup to get back my stuffs?

This will be my last comment regarding video in facebook app. I dont know if you notice this but video playable in facebook app will have a big thumbnail (refer to pic 1) while video not playable in facebook app will have a small thumbnail (refer to pic 2). Where do you think the picture you post above belong to which category?

icon_rolleyes.gif  cheers!!!

actually mine used to be able to play, dead serious, and dunno what happen suddenly it cannot played anymore....since bro makaveli mention that jailbreaking is not the culprit behind it, then maybe it's some system bug that prevented me from viewing it again..really sad that the facebook app is that buggy after all..and we still cant "Like" comments

cos on youtube app, if you are on 3G, u see blur video, if you are on Wifi, you are viewing in HD, which normally our internet is too slow to handle, and i recall someone told me before that if you go youtube page on safari you can choose the quality that you want to view, pretty cool if u ask me, and i do think we need to have that option in our youtube app as well...

plus, i don think he meant that too, i think what he mean is lile LYN for instance, when we click on a youtube video, it will automatically play the youtube video from safari, and his issue is what i have faced on my facebook app, the Alert thing, whenever he wants to play a youtube video from safari browser

@BBXiong 

So your problem is that cant comment on status and page.Its not due to the iOS.Nothing related to iOS.iOS just doing a part where scripts working together with Facebook apps.
Have you click the ( + ) button after the status order ?

Of course,the data transmit via celular uses 3g are not really strong unlike wifi.Im talking about the bit rate transfer between 2 technologies.
You tube from Safari you can choose HD or HQ or Worst quality ? Ehh,i thought most of the video from Youtube are not playing by default on HQ ?!! rclxub.gif
Highlite :  when we click on a youtube video, it will automatically play the youtube video from safari (from where you start the apps ? Safari or Youtube ?)
*
no, it's not cannot comment on status...is cannot "Like" the comments on status/pictures..now facebook u can like one specific comment geh...but iOS Facebook app havent put in that function yet


i am not talking about transmit signal lar, is the default youtube app will limit to give u the lowest quality video when u watch it with 3G connection, but on Wifi, it will choose 720p as default, if the video don have 720p then it will choose high quality. What i heard from a friend is that Youtube on Safari can allow u to choose exactly which quality you want. To answer the last question, it plays on Safari, when i click on "Done", it will return to the page where i clicked on the youtube video, not the video details of the youtube app

Hi all...was wondering if any of you guys here can help.

I'm on Maxis btw, using an iPhone 4...and I've been experiencing 'Cellular data network could not be activated' errors since noon...the 3G/Edge logo are there though and there's an average of 2-3 bars but I can't seem to surf or do anything.

What could be problem? Sorry for the extremely noob question >.< Thanks in advance...
*
i got that a lot too, what i do is turn on airplane mode then turn it off again. it will turn off your antenna and turn it on again, and reconnect to the telco network

I've tried it, but the problem's still not solved though...
Sometimes that works for me, for this time it doesn't seem to work. I have no idea why...  rclxub.gif
Thanks for the suggestion...tried it but doesn't seem to solve the problem. Then I turned off the phone, turned it back on and put it on airplane mode and then turned it off...it's still the same. >.< But I've noticed that the signal for 3G seems to be a bit unstable? The signal seems to decrease to one miserable bar..
*
how long do u wait until u turn off airplane mode again? normally i switch to airplane mode for around 5-10 seconds, then only turn back to normal mode again, it will then take another 5-10 seconds to search for signal geh
sometimes is just your signal is too weak to establish any data connection...

Around 5-10 seconds too...I see, I see...but even if I don't turn on 3G, there's still EDGE right? And EDGE doesn't seem to work either, though the signal for it is strong.

I think I'll just wait and see what happens...or wait til I get to somewhere with a strong signal and try again.
*
i think ur case would be, signal kinda too weak, kick back to EDGE, then signal burst, try to connect back to 3G, connect fail, back to EDGE, until connection time out, then the message...
