i heard 4.3.3 got problem. Not sure why.

Using 4.3.3 now, so far there is no issue with wifi or location

Good. But some people got problem. Selinix mention it in the link I provide just now. Suddenly can and suddenly cannot.
Even Ozak also got problem.

Soo.............................................. ipad2 wifi location service is quite weird because it depends on Skyhook data base. while 3g one
have GPS. No depend on Wifi. Can lock location even that place no wifi or 3g.

MobileME found my Ipad wifi at home and I tested sending message and sound to my Ipad and it works as claimed.

Have been try 2-3x in my office. Using streamyx line. Pin point accurate my location. I guess after I switch ON again, it reset and renew the address again.

Will try at home this evening see it work or not without switch it OFF/ON. Home using maxis line.

My safari in iPad unable to create a secure connection? How to enable so that I will be able to browse secure connection?

I just try again using Mobileme. It can found your ipad even your ipad in sleep mode. It can pin point your location. Once I send the message out from pc, the ipad will wakeup and display the message. Even email to you that the message have been display on your ipad at what date and time.

Is this mean the ipad don't need to be wakeup/ON to be track? As long as in the range of wifi.

I will go back home and try again without wakeup/ON the ipad at home but between the wifi range. See my home pc detect it at what location.

Very interesting experiment.

I didn't do anything to my Ipad and mobile be can track the Ipad under sleep mode. I want to try it again at Phnom Penh Starbulk next month to see it work or not. Have you try the YES Live yet ?

No. Didn't try the YES live. Few it abit expensive with the plan.

Try the MobileMe at home. It can locate during sleep mode after take back from office without wakeup/ON at all. A few second, my pc can pin point the iPad location. Pretty accurate too.

Watchout thieft. Don't ever steal my iPad. I can track you down.

lol..if you have ipad 3g then mobileme's find my ipad will probably come useful but if you got wifi only and if got stolen, just pray that the thief is stupid enough to use wifi all the time
Anyway, it is somewhat useful app though.


NOTE: Can anyone give me a copy of VLC for ipad? I mean, it was dropped by apple a few weeks back but I'm sure one of you got it still right?

Read back carefully bro. You don't need to use wifi all the time. Once your iPad around any wifi range, MobileMe will detect your iPad. And do whatever you instruct it to do on your pc. Even the iPad in sleep mode.

And don't tell me the theft never try to online once with the iPad. That is really stupid.

Wonder if any1 know about this n can help me?

your ipad is in sleep mode, but did you switch off the wifi? I wonder if ipad will connect automatically to the network that it recognize..

if ipad didn't connect to wifi then it will not able to transfer any data to "mobileme" server..

No. I didn't switch OFF the wifi in the setting. Switching it OFF of course impossible for the iPad to network.

This function is just like your phone. Once it connect to network, MobileMe will send the instruction to your iPad and detect it whereabout.

Don't tell me you get a phone but not using it to call. That is stupid to the max.

if the thief wipe out everything , such as doing a full restore, before he uses it do connect to the internet (3g or wifi doesn't matter), it won't be any use, am i correct?

well for 3g one, if u switch off the wifi, you can still find the iPad. Another reason to buy 3G version. Unless of course u switch to airplane mode.

I m not sure how to perform the wipe out everything. What I m not sure is,

1)Can you wipe out everything if your ipad have been lock and cannot get in?
2)Do you need to connect to itune-->online to wipe out/restore?
3)Is the Mobileme tracking your device id rather your data?

Maybe somebody can do some this experiment to let us know.

Mobileme have 3 instruction for you to choose, what you going to do with your ipad if lost or misplace.

1) send a message and sound to tell the sucker return back your ipad and track him down.
2) lock the ipad and prevent the sucker from use it.
3) wipe out the data and everything in your device to prevent the sucker from getting it. (if you can't get back your ipad)

When one first registered his ipad to his Apple ID, the serial number/mac address will be registered as tracking source. So, wipe out or not still can be tracked. I think.

BTW, not only one can track his Ipad from a remote PC, Mobileme enable Ipad Wifi to perform a self location function by signing in to MobileMe Map with your own Ipad at any public wifi AP. Though somewhat limited but useful when travel overseas for occasional self location map service at the Starbucks.
Another reason to buy 3G Wifi version. Hehe ! Gogo sure tak boleh tahan wan

yeah, same. i wonder if someone restore the ipad liao, can i still able to trace it or not

we need to online to mobileme to lock/wipe out ma

No la, how dare me I just poke some fun only ma....
