so basically that if i use the ibrickr, it will spoil the simfree hack is it? stringfellow, u using the stock ringtones right?

I got my iPhone yesterday! Learning to jailbreak it and installing apps on it was HELL! I'm no noobie when it comes to these things but if you have vista-64 bit.. watch out! A lot of things doesn't really work!

Best to use a regular vanilla 32-bit windows XP for the task!

By the way - anyone knows how to set up GPRS/Edge with maxis?

how about call them and ask them ? I think they will activate once u let them know ? I don't know for sure but out of instinct I'll say u have to let them know and they will assist u with that no problemo.

yala .... when iphone come into malaysia that time .... sure must bundle with telco subscription plan 1 ....
so think wat? quick get an iphone now!

So, Any Updates On The Maxis Incoming Calls?

tarpaucase, Post Some Pictures Of Your New iPhone..

iBrickr is just a way to access the internal file structure of the iPhone.You can upload or download files, onto or off the iPhone using this. But the first time you use this, it is meant as breaking into the iPhone and setting it free, hence the word Jailbreaking the iPhone. To fully unlock the iPhone, there are more steps required to be done.

Once you have done the unlock, your iPhone should stay unlocked, even if you do a restore. This is the case of my iPhone, i have restored twice using iTunes 7.3, and im using the old iUnlock/iUnlocker method that requires that 20 minutes baseband patch via OpenSSH. At that time, there arent all this fancy schmancy GUI-based unlocking applications like AnySim yet. I cannot comment on other methods as i have not done so by these other methods , nor if i can comment on the iPhone staying unlocked if you use these other methods.

Im still using iTunes 7.3, so the custom ringtones loophole is still open for me. Once you move up to iTunes 7.4.2, that loophole is closed, you cant do custom ringtones uploading via iTunes anymore, but you can still upload them via iBrickr after renaming them. Or use iToner. Either way, read up the posts on Hackint0sh forum, im not really interested in custom ringtones that much, im happy with the default ones.

One thing I must say about using the iPhone.. after so long of suffering the insane "hourglass" loading icon of the MS Mobile Platform.. the iPhone is *FAR FAR* more responsive. Everything just "works".. ya know?

Wifi?.. settings, turn on, pick open network.. works.
Open and closing apps.. no dreaded "loading" icon. It's responsive!
Viewing images and thumbnails.. fast! No silly waiting for ms mobiles to load or all that crap.. 600mhz xscale processors or no.

The mobile safari is amazing. The way it detects the web elements.. when you double tap to zoom in to read.. it's just so intuitive. Death to wap!!!

I'll try to get some pictures up later busy playing with it..

And guys, it's never as simple as "One-step-unlock" as I found out.

You need to "Jailbreak" it.. which might be a pain. new phones will need to download the 1.0.2 firmware which.. to me, was close to 100mb! takes awhile to update.. sync.. jailbreak.. upload a lockdownd file to a certain location, put the installer app inside.. only THEN are you able to go about it.

Man.. was I fooled by anysim so-called "one-step" solution

Anyone got Maxis EDGE working with the iphone ?? I'm still clueless about that

Added on September 23, 2007, 12:00 pmI think Maxis ought to get their act together with regards to the call-in issue. Kuwait's ZAIN managed to resolve it within like 24 hours or so according to these blogs?

It also might be linked to the fact that Maxis's EDGE network is operating on NOM2 rather than NOM1.. something about an established data network will make your line useless ..cannot call in.

Hey wei.. any news from the maxis guy? Since it's sunday.. I don't expect miracles..heh. Probably updating tower firmwares and all that might require applying for permissions, etc etc...

Added on September 23, 2007, 1:43 pmHey.. SMS in works from maxis to maxis btw. Just received and sms from my friend... and I paired the iphone with a sony ericsson HBH-610 bluetooth headset withour any problems - for those who's been wondering.

let's email maxis and ask them how's the fix progress for iphone users. maybe we can pressure them to work a little bit faster. im sending an email now.

btw about someone earlier in this thread that speculated that it could be a NOM2 / NOM1 issue?.. probably not it.

Irwan's on maxis roaming in the states (AT&T is the roaming partner).. can receive calls. he's on NOM2 like me in malaysia.. also checked.. its NOM2.

Disabled Edge.. still cannot receive calls...QQ

here is address to contact maxis

http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/general/p...ck_existing.asp

Forget about the online contact form. You can't even filled it up nicely as there's no Apple & no iPhone listed. Even if you did emailed, all you get its sales rep telling you there's no support because it's not official in Malaysia, blah blah blah.

Just hold on for few more days, I should get update from insider.

I'm contemplating on calling "123" for support..heh heh..heh..

Added on September 23, 2007, 3:35 pmYeah i'm getting pretty desperate.. filled out that form. also filled out a fault form.... lol..

can't wait for the good news wei!

I would e-mail them just to let them know how many users are frustrated!

Hopefully, the more people write in to complain, the faster the problem will be fixed.

I think Navizon will only work if the provider install something on their side... plus they have to work in conjuction with the wi-fi providers

Don't think that's in malaysia yet
