Section 'K' : Tethering :


1. Using iPhone as a Modem [Tethering] [Carrier Settings needed] (2G Phones not applicable)

iTunes 8.2 and above is required for tethering in all desktop/laptop.
Tethering works over the cellular data network; you can’t share a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. If you have a 3G connection, you can make and receive phone calls while tethering. Set up a tethering connection: In Settings, choose General > Network > Internet Tethering. Slide the Internet Tethering switch to On.


Connect iPhone to your computer:
USB: Connect your computer to iPhone using the Dock Connector to USB cable. In your computer’s Network services settings, choose iPhone:
On a Mac, a pop-up window appears the first time you connect, saying “A new network interface has been detected.” Click Network Preferences, configure the network settings for iPhone, then click Apply.
On a PC, use the Network Control Panel to select and configure the iPhone connection.

When you are connected, a blue band appears at the top of the screen. Tethering remains on when you connect with USB, even when you aren’t actively using the Internet connection. NOTE: Additional fees may apply. Contact your carrier for more information.

Celcom
Below are 2 options. You can choose either files to use.

A)For the tethering, Krux provided these files:-

To get this on your phone, you either need to click the link using MobileSafari or email it to yourself and open it in Mail.app on the phone.
USB Tethering is instantaneous on the Mac OS X 10.5.7. [credit: stringfellow]

B) For Celcom users to enable your tethering. Use at your own risk, I have tried it, if you do not like it or does not work you can remove it.
Install << THIS >>. Make sure you open this link on your iphone. It will ask you to install this Profile, there is a warning about the authenticity of this program, just hit Install Now, once it is done, hit the Done button. Go to settings->general->network->cellular data network and remove the celcom3g on both Cellular Data and Visual Voicemail APN settings. They should be left blank. Hit the network to go back. Now you can turn on the Internet Tethering option.

If you want to remove this profile, just hit General and scroll down to the Profile, click on Enable Tethering on Celcom 3g and you can see the a red remove button icon.[credit: icebrew]

2. Bluetooth Tethering
Bluetooth: On iPhone, choose Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth. Then refer to the documentation that came with your computer system software to pair and connect iPhone with your computer.

Bluetooth Headsets Recommendation: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1074876 [credit; stringfellow]

Mac
Bluetooth needs updating. I had to use System Update to get the "Bluetooth Firmware Update" for the MBA, apply it in, and restart the MBA. Turn both the MBA's and iPhone's BT on to "discoverable", initiate discovery from the MBA's side. Pair them together and let the OS X discover the available services on the iPhone, which would add BT connection as a network port. Finish the process and quit.

Next, you need to enable Internet Sharing via the Preference pane. GO under "Sharing" and tick the box labelled Internet Sharing. Share the connection from Bluetooth, and tick the Bluetooth connection that has just been created when you did the pairing initially. Voila! Internet tethering via BT!

Windows
Turn on iPhone bluetooth. Go to vista control panel -> bluetooth devices, then select add. After detect, pin verified, it connect to my phone. Then, go to network set up and add PAN.

For pairing with your computer (Bluetooth) I went to my notebook's (VIsta) Bluetooth Devices and clicked Add. Windows will detect as a phone. Select to add. The screen will show you some pin no. Key in that no into your iphone. Once you have keyed in, your phone will appear in the list of Bluetooth devices.

Next step, go to Network and Sharing Center. Select Setup a new connection. After that a dialog box will appear, select Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN). After you click next, it will ask you which device. Select the device that you have added earlier. Then Click Connect. Wait for few seconds and your tethering is up and running. Well at least for me. Hope this helps.

Facetime Guide

Q: How to Facetime? Do i have to pay or is free?
A: Yes is free. Go to Contacts. Scroll down to the person you wanna Facetime with and tap on his/her name. On the next menu click Facetime. And you're done.
If you want to just talk without video, stop video then just tap on the power button on top. you got yourself voice call. also free. JUST MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON WIFI.

Q: How to Facetime on iPhone with iPod Touch users?
A: Dummies Guide to Facetime on iPhone 4 and iPod Touch

You have to activate FaceTime
To do so, go to Settings > FaceTime > On. Depending on your country, it might take a few minutes to actually activate the feature. I suggest you reboot your iPhone after turning FaceTime on.

iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 only
FaceTime is only iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 for the time being. That means that your FaceTime buddy must have an iPhone 4 with FaceTime activated. FaceTime is opened to developers so it is very likely that some applications like Skype will use FaceTime in their apps, thus allowing you to FaceTime from an iPhone 4 to a desktop computer.

Wifi only
FaceTime can only work on wifi for the time being.

FaceTime is free
Because it works on wifi only, there is no cost associated with using FaceTime. No matter what, when, how, and where you use FaceTime it is completely free.

Making a FaceTime call
There are 2 ways you can initiate a FaceTime call.

Call your friend like you normally do. When both of you are on the line, simply hit the FaceTime icon on your iPhone. Your friend will receive an invitation and if he accepts it, it will drop the call and start connecting you both on FaceTime. This is the best way to start a FaceTime conversation as it allows you to check that your buddy is on wifi, thus available for FaceTime. Note that although FaceTime is free, you will have to pay for the call time. Once you hit the FaceTime icon and the call ends, you will stop being charged.
If you know for sure your friend is on wifi, go to your contacts, tap your friend’s name and tap the FaceTime button. It will ring on the other end of the line and if your friend accepts the FaceTime invitation, it will start connecting you both.
Switch between the front and back camera

The front-facing camera is the one used by default when making a FaceTime call, but you can also use the back camera. Tap the camera icon at the lower right of the screen and you’ll activate the camera on the back of your iPhone. You’ll then be able to share what’s around you. To switch back to the front-facing camera, tap the button at the lower right again.

Use another app without leaving FaceTime
While on a FaceTime call, you may have to go do something in your iPhone. For example, you may need to look up a contact, or check emails, etc… Simply hit the home button during your FaceTime call and you will be taken to your home screen. From there, you can do whatever you want. The FaceTime image will be frozen on the other end of the line but the sound will still works. That means your friend won’t see you but you’ll still be able to talk to him. When you’re done and you want to go back to your FaceTime video chat, simply hit the green bar at the top of your screen.

Mute FaceTime
You can mute yourself during a FaceTime call. Simply tap the “mute” button and your friend won’t be able to hear what you’re saying although he’ll still be able to see you. You will still be able to see and hear what he says. Tap the button again to unmute yourself.

FaceTime in landscape mode
FaceTime doesn’t only work in portrait mode. You can turn your iPhone to a 90 degree angle and have your conversation in landscape mode.

Move yourself around
When on a FaceTime call, there is a little window on your screen showing you what your friend sees (usually it’s your face!). You can move this little window around by tapping it and moving it to another corner.

Facetime usage:
iPhone 4 (using phone number)
iPod Touch 4 (using email i.e. Apple ID)
Mac (using email i.e. Apple ID)
iPad 2 (using email i.e. Apple ID)

iPhone 4



iPhone 4: http://www.apple.com/iphone/
iPhone 4 features: http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/
LYN iPhone 4 Q&A: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1466267

Available in 16GB or 32GB, black or white.

The new features:

FaceTime - basically videocall, but between iPhone 4 to iPhone 4/iPod touch 4 only for now. Also for now, only by using WiFi. The reason is because AT&T will struggle to support the bandwidth, but we'll see if Apple and Maxis can arrange it for us here Also, this is an open standard, so we can expect phones from other manufacturer to support FaceTime as well. Both front and back cameras can be used.

5 MP camera, LED flash, Backside Illumination Sensor, Front Camera - you should probably know more megapixels equals more noise, but the camera sensor in iPhone 4 has also been increased as well, and paired with backside illumination technology. BIS and LED flash should result in better low-light photos. Front camera can also be used for easier camwhoring!

HD Video & iMovie for iPhone - self-explanatory

Retina Display with IPS technology - our beloved 3.5" Multitouch display now has a resolution of 960x640 (4x iPhone 3GS), so that's a stunning 326 pixels per inch! 800:1 contrast ratio and oleophobic coating for both the aluminosilicate glass screen and back panel. Also, IPS technology gives better colours and viewing angles…should beat AMOLED anytime.

Gyroscope - iPhone reinvented mobile gaming with the accelerometer. This is the next invention.

Bigger battery - Hey, it's Apple.

And of course, iPhone 4 is powered by the Apple A4 processor.

Read more about the new features: Engadget has a nice review on iPhone 4.


iPhone 4 Q&A

1: iPhone 4 uses microSIM? Any news from Maxis, Digi or Celcom?
A: Maxis already have microSIM, for both voice and data. You can bring your current SIM and exchange for a micro SIM for RM25.

Digi will surely have microSIMs available if they will bring iPhone 4. No word on Celcom, but rest assured. Our local telcos aren't stupid enough to bring in a phone that can't be used on their network.

Else, you can always cut a normal SIM to the size of a microSIM, since the chip is exactly the same. At your own risk, of course.


2. What is Retina Display?
A: It is just Apple's fancy name for a high-resolution screen. The 960x640 resolution certainly isn't HD (which is at least 720i), but it's higher than any phones in the market right now. It has a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch, which Apple claims is higher than the limit of what the human eye is able to perceive at a distance of 1 feet. Wired magazine said that the technical 'human eye limit' would be closer to 477ppi, and that the name 'Retina' display is misleading.


3. Is 16GB or 32GB better? I'm confuse..
A: Use your own judgement, You're an adult and not a kid. The more space you, the more you data you can store. The less space you have, the less you can store.

A2: This is a very subjective question. All I can say is 16GB is enough for me. But 2 months later, I may say not enough. Therefore, please list down what you will do and store in the phone.

e.g. Store 5 hours movie in 720p format. Store 5 hours of music in 128k bit rate. etc. It is the same ask asking, is Seagate 7200.11 500GB SATA sufficient ? Or should I get 1TB ? [credit cute_boboi]


Q: How to cut? Any tutorial?
A: Sim cutting tutorial: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1466267/+2360


4: Is iPhone 4 white availble now?
A: NO. iPhone 4 is not availble yet. We will update you when we have any updates.
