That's a great tip, Aneip! Jchin should be jumping with joy now.  Don't know about others but my iPhone kinda wakes up even when it is on Aircraft mode when it detects an active cell tower. Had to turn off the iPhone instead of leaving it on Standby Aircraft mode twice while making the approach in Charles de Gaulle at 2000 feet. Not that I'm asking everyone to start turning on their iPhones while in flight, but just a reminder that the Aircraft mode may not really disable the network.

guys just to ask about the maxis things. Just now I tried to call to my iPhone using maxis I get the message saying the number you that you dial is currently unavailable. You guys get this too? Last time I tried it just disconnect. If true then got some progress. If this discussed before then sorry, just testing posting with iPhone. Hehe.

Anything but 7.4.2 and above. I used 7.3 to unlock, and now have moved to 7.4.1 so that i can get the iPod Touch to sync with iTunes (iPod Touch only syncs with iTunes 7.4 or later).

They just managed to get access to the file system of the 1.1.1 firmware - via symbolic links.. gawd! http://www.tuaw.com/2007/10/05/livebloggin...one-1-1-1-hack/ <-- more details as Erica Sadun does the hack No, Ipod touch users are still screwed as this method relies on a 1.0.2 version being jailbroken first to be able to place those links  Nice work btw wei!  edit : for thos who doesn't know what this means - it's a huge breakthrough in unlocking 1.1.1 For sms batch send this application is supposed to work - asms http://code.google.com/p/iphone-sms/My own comments on the thing.. maybe you ought to add more things to the first page.. 1)Never do the cracking on Vista or 64-bit operating system, it doesn't work - somehow. 2)People who never own iPods before might wanna consider using 3rd party apps like Mediamonkey to do their album-cover-flow collection if they have time  (been dying to do cover flow ever since I got it) 3)Jodix/Videora are both good converter applications to convert your videos to your iphone/ipods 4)GPRS/EDGE settings for all providers ought to be added  5)Bluetooth headset compatibility? 6)Highlight in BIG RED BOLD LETTERS that Maxis does not work with call in. and put in the thread subtitle to read first post FIRST.

I can add on point # 3 and # on that list. Videora or PSP Video 9, i have tried, gave a so-so PQ (picture quality) compared to the solution using Quicktime itself. Remember Quicktime and iTunes works hand in hand, so much that they are paired together for the installation download. Therefore, it is only logical to think and surmise that a video export using Quicktime will give the best video result with minimal pixellations and artifacting. I am very picky (read:anal) when it comes to video, and am willing to wait for hours upon hours for videos to finish encoding to see if they give the best result. If they dont, im more than willing to do the re-encode again, with other different sets of parameters, or change to different encoding solutions altogether. It is through my findings that, the MPEG Streamclip + Quicktime combo gave the best picture quality for movies encoded for the iPhone. In fact, latest version of Quicktime/Quicktime Pro even provide video export tab for "Movie to iPod/iPhone" for easy one-click movie exporting/conversion.
Personally , i have tried Videora and PSP Video 9, both gave very noticable pixellations and artifacting (that ugly blockiness due to inefficient compression used by these two programs). The solution im using, the "MPEG Streamclip + Quicktime" avoids this mess.
Why im using the MPEG Streamclip is so that i can have my movies RECOGNIZED by Quicktime as Quicktime .mov file extension. I find that the export/conversion from Quicktime-to-iPod/iPhone to be seamless and troublefree if you do it this way. Also take note that on some occasion , if you do direct export from within Quicktime itself, WITHOUT changing it into a .mov file format, you will lose audio. This is because Quicktime cannot demux and reencode audio properly, other than the recognized .mov format. This is the reason why i use MPEG Streamclip, this program enables me to export any movie file extension into .mov so that the conversion within Quicktime to an iPhone-compatible movie is seamless.
So basically:-
Any movie file format ==> MPEG Streamclip===> .mov Quicktime===>"Export Movie to iPod/iPhone" single click in Quicktime = pixellation/artifact-free movie for your iPhone.
As for point #5, I have tested the Garmin Nuvi 660 which i use as my GPS device AND Bluetooth answering receiver + speaker when im on the road. It pairs nicely, and im able to answer phone calls via the Nuvi itself without any complication. All my other SE, Jabra and iClip BT headsets works as well, so it is safe to say most if not all BT headset works.
EDIT: The shortcut to enable the Voicemail SingleTap have been posted on the 1st post of this thread.
