iOS5's split keyboard's keys are too darn small for my thumbs. Better stick with normal keyboard in portrait mode.

No obvious lags compared to 435. Can't enable camera button @ lock screen. I guess it's only for iPhone? Nothing much to shout about. If you chat a lot, upgrade now to remove the annoying pops up notifications. smile.gif

I have tried the double press on Home button, it shows only the volume and soundtrack controls.

You can only send messages to another iMessage user. iPad CAN'T send SMS.

My 3g ipad2 is not displaying the 3g signal. The No Service message is displayed instead. I cleaned the sim card but still not successful. Does anybody know the cause of the problem ? My iphone also on the same carrier is working fine. So it is not a network problem on the ISP side.

Hope somebody can help me  notworthy.gif

Thank you

iOS4 or iOS5?

I remember the first time I put in a 3G sim card into my iOS4.3.5, it can't get connected to mobile data. Added the name Celcom3G into the APN, it finally works. But from time to time (seldom), I had to reboot the pad to get connected again into mobile data again.

While on iOS5, it works immediately when I had the sim put into another ipad2 with iOS5.

I thot I read somewhere u can do it thru viber. Unless u meant specifically SMS to normal non smartphone.

I'm updating ios5 now, anyone had problem updating thru iTunes?
*
SMS in this context would mean the ordinary telco/carrier's kind of Short Messaging System service.

If you are referring to Viber, which requires user to authenticate themselves to Viber server, it's practically the same thing like iMessage, except iMessage has smaller group of people, which restricted to iOS5 users only, while Viber is cross platform.

Don't get me started with WhatsApp next. Unfortunately, there's no way to get WhatsApp working on a non-JB iPad. Even Viber was running on the phone app for iPad.

Nope. I managed to find a solution to that issue. An app was trying to update itself but connection was lost before it was completed. What i did is to resume the update and it works. biggrin.gif

Another thing. Is there a way to turn off USB charging? Every time i connect my ipad to my laptop the battery status is "Not Charging" but in fact, it is charging.
*
I guess not.

By the time the battery spoiled, you would have already bought iPad4. biggrin.gif

Harddisk, I am on iOS5. I hope there is nothing wrong with my ipad  sad.gif 

I am wondering what are the APN settings for Maxis Hotlink prepaid  icon_question.gif
*
For Hotlink, do you have to activate the daily data before you can use the data services?

If that's the case, you can't active from iPad as it has no dial pad. You will need to put the sim card into a phone to activate it. Not sure if you can do it from the website.

If not mistaken, BB can't host mobile hotspot.

As for setting hotspot on your iPhone, please refer to the proper iPhone thread. tongue.gif

hi.. want to ask.. i got ipad2... i want sync over wifi.. dont want use usb.. i already tick sync over wifi at itunes.. then i plug out the usb from computer.. then the itunes dont want to sync anymore... how is it..
*
I just experimented with it. I think you have to click "Sync" from your iPad to start the synchro over wifi.

I'll try again tomorrow and enable the other 4 units to sync over wifi.

Your AP got any Isolation mode enabled? Hope you are doing it over your own wifi network instead of public/office wifi setup.

Sorry if someone else asked this b4. I bought an iPad2 from an authorize dealer in KL. It's sealed in the box and brand new.

But when I opened it at home and went into iTunes, they prompt me a password with someone elses login name. Some other guy like ahmad.xxxx@hotmail.com.

I know its no big deal I can just hit cancel and login with my name. But my question, is it possible for something like that to happen for a new iPad? Or the iPad I bought is actually second hand or a diplay set?

Thanks.
*
For a brand new iPad2, if you tried to power it up right out of the box, it will show you the USB cable to iTunes image on the center of the screen. It's meant to be activated via iTunes.

Did you see that screen or you connected straight to a PC with iTunes without even trying to power it up first?

Unless it's below iOS 5.0, since iOS 5.0 you can directly power it up without activation from a PC or Mac.

Never had a hands on on brand new iPad2 with iOS5 straight from a sealed box.

Not sure wat format is that, but its downlaoded using some free apps, and its not tranferable to PC. Not sure if we can do it via JB, i dun have a JB ipad since it was delivered in iOS5.0~ sad.gif

I can only share my opinion, hopefully no one flame my ass out.
3G version PROS:
1) u can connected wherever you are with a good 3G broadband,e.g : waiting for someone at the roadside or when get stucked in jam. You can check other discussion thread for the best 3G suitability which we will never discuss here.
2) You get A-GPS chip build in biggrin.gif Its a good thing for traveller.

3G version CONS:
1) JB is harder for ipad2 3G.
2) Without JB, u can't use ur ipad to tethered other device, or use it as a hotspot.

Wifi version PROS:
1) Cheaper and more affordable biggrin.gif
2) Still work the same regardless of the on-the-go online biggrin.gif
3) Can alwis use MiFi devices to replace the on-the-go online style with extra budget biggrin.gif

Wifi version CONS:
1) Not sure if it have JB(regardless of tethered or untethered) at this moment for the latest iOS.
2) Not so convenient for online as you have to bring extra device around to go online(very subjective and depend on owner preference).
*
Not exactly a cons, even with JB wifi version, it doesn't do wifi tethering/hotspot. tongue.gif

*
Heard from many iOS users that the home button might malfunction prematurely. Perhaps the display units was abused at the Home button.

You can still charge iPad from PC USB. It's very slow and you have to off the screen.
