Samsung Galaxy S II by DiGi: Is it worth it?

2011-11-02T21:21:00.000-07:00

DiGi has just released a promotion for Samsung Galaxy S II. You might be thinking what the heck am I posting this thing to a page that is specific to iPhone. Well, I'm open-minded person and didn't close my eyes something that is different that what I'm using now (iPhone 4).
Is this Samsung Galaxy S II by DiGi a good offer? Lets see what DiGi promotion really works in real life:

1. The price is RM1767 if you buy it online from DiGi Online Store with 24-month contract using the DG Smart Plan 68 or 12-month contract at RM1867.
If you choose the DG Smart Plan 48 for 12-month or 24-month, the price is RM1697.
2. It doesn't matter whether you choose black or white SGS II since the price is the same.
3. That price include the Advance Payment and Misc Fees, but all this amount will be credited back to your first month bill. No worries about that.
4. Does SGS II from DiGi really worth it? For me, the answer is yes. I have been using iPhone 4 from DiGi with iDiGi plan. I only need to pay monthly at RM65 maximum with unlimited Internet. Even though the iDiGi plan only give 1GB of bandwidth, iDiGi never charges extra for extra bandwidth that I use. iDiGi will limit the speed to 128kbps for the extra bandwidth that I use.
5. So, is it really worth it? Yes, if you are a frequent Facebookers, blogger, Flickrer or plain Internet addict, this might be the best plan to you. But, if you are a frequent downloader (or torrenter), this is perfectly NOT good to you. Hehe. This is based on my opinion only and I'm not yellow or related to DiGi.

Solved: iPhone 4 apps can't launch and crashes after updating to iOS5

2011-10-14T00:45:00.000-07:00

I have updated my iPhone 4 that I have bought from DiGi few months ago to iOS5. At first, it works well, but after a while, I notice that I can't launch some of the apps like Remember The Milk, Facebook and CF Mild Elements. All the apps are my commonly used apps that I really use everyday. Not able to use it might kills my productivity.
Also, I can see the audio, video and photos on my iTunes that is read from iPhone 4, but it is NOT showing or available on my iPhone 4.
So, this what I do and yes, it SOLVED the problems:

STEP 1: Backup your iPhone first. Connect your iPhone, wait until it appears on iTunes and right-click on it and choose 'Back Up'.

STEP 2: Click 'Restore' on the iTunes info page about your iPhone. Follow the instruction. iTunes will also ask you whether you want to back up before restoring your iPhone. So, please back up a little bit.

STEP 3: After the restoring process is done, right-click on the iPhone on your iTunes and choose 'Restore from Backup'. Usually there is an iTunes info page about your iPhone that asks whether you want to restore from backup or not. Please check the date of the backup data and make sure it refers to the backup that you have made in the step 1.

My iPhone 4 works perfectly after I do the restore. iOS5 really rocks!

Note: I'm writing this just to help if you guys encounter same problem with me. I'm just sharing. I hope, if there are something wrong somewhere, you guys can just share along with me in the comment section.

You are invited to comment and hopes it will be helpful to others.

How to Buy iPhone 4 from DiGi if you already have Postpaid Plan from Celcom or Maxis

2011-01-18T22:37:00.000-08:00

I have recently bought an iPhone 4 from DiGi at DiGi Center in BBT One, Lebuh Batu Nilam 2, Bandar Bukit Tinggi, 41200 Klang, Selangor. The customer service there are very nice and they have well enough information about the iPhone 4, the plans and how to get it.

This is the steps needed to get an iPhone 4 from DiGi, if you currently on other network provider. In my case I port my number from Celcom to DiGi.

1. You need to go to the DiGi Center to book your iPhone and port your phone number using MNP.
I recommend you to go the DiGi Center BBT One early in the morning (9am) on Tuesday, because that is the day when the fresh iPhone 4 16GB and iPhone 32GB arrives.

2. Fill the form of MNP to port your phone number and you will be given a new sim card from DiGi. At this stage you don't have to pay anything. Also, you don't have to change your sim card straight away, but you need to wait until your phone show no network available. This might takes up to 48 hours as told by DiGi representative, so, you can go home and wait. In my case, the porting only needs less than 10 hours.

3. When your phone shows no network available, change the sim card to the sim card provided by DiGi. From the moment I went to DiGi Center, registering for the MNP plan, waiting for the port-in and replacing the sim card, I have never missed out any call or having difficulty in using my phone to make calls or send messages. Everything works seamlessly. One more thing, using DiGi network are great since there are no annoying 'Call Forwarding' pop up messages that I have encounter when I was on Celcom network.

4. After the port-in is successful, you need to go again to the DiGi Center that you have registered earlier to get your iPhone 4. This is due to the fact that this specific DiGi Center have the iPhone that you have booked earlier. In my case, I went to the DiGi Center the next day on 12pm and to my surprises, iPhone 4 16GB and 32GB are sold out already! Hehe, but I have booked an iPhone 16GB earlier, so, my phone is there kept in safe place.

5. To get your booked iPhone 4, you need to pay RM2090 for the iPhone 16GB or RM2490 for the 32GB using either cash or credit card. In my case, I asked to pay RM1000 using credit card and RM1090 using cash, but, this is not accepted. Luckily, there is Maybank branch in front of the DiGi Center BBT One. So, I just credit my cash to my credit card and the payment for the iPhone 4 16GB successfully done at the DiGi Center.

6. After payment has been done, your DiGi representative will go to the store and pick up your iPhone 4.

7. Activation needs to be done on-the-spot, so, there is no chance that you can get your iPhone 4 with the plastic package unopened.

8. After the activation has done, you can take your iPhone 4 and smile on your way out from the DiGi Center. Remember to remove the front plastic cover on your iPhone 4 face as the speaker hole is being covered with it, so you can't hear any sound from the earpiece hole.

9. iPhone 4 from DiGi are great! I'm one happy DiGi customer and I'm not related to DiGi marketing team. Also, I'm not yellow.

Questions that are in my mind before buying the iPhone 4 from DiGi:
1. Do DiGi have ready-stock iPhone 4?
Yes, they do have it every Tuesday. Other than that day, it is going to be sold-out.

2. How much do I really really need to pay upfront?
Just RM2090 for 16GB and RM2490 for iPhone 4 32GB. No other payment is needed. This is true as this is what happens to me. I just pay RM2090 for the iPhone 4 16GB and I don't even have to pay the 4% credit card charge when using credit card to pay for it.

3. Is iPhone 4 plan from DiGi better than the iPhone 4 Maxis plan?
IMHO, yes. No bill shock if you exceed the quota. Even though the Maxis iPhone 4 are much cheaper upfront, there will be subsequent charge of 10sen/10kb if you exceed the quota. The good thing about Maxis is that it is, 'Broadband without Speed Limit'. Means that there are no throttling down the speed like what DiGi do when you exceed the quota to just 128kbps. DiGi, on the other hand, provide DiGiMusic app from the iTunes store whereby you can download unlimited amount of music with just RM5/month with free 1st month trial. With just RM58/month (if you opt for auto-debit), DiGi is definitely the cheapest iPhone 4 plan with the iDiGi plan. Anyway, the contract is for 24-month and RM400 if you decide to cancel the plan after registration.

4. Is iPhone 4 better than the HTC Desire HD?
IMHO, yes. Everything about the iPhone is high quality and I'm very surprised with the fastness of iPhone 4 camera. The HD video 720p are also amazing compared to my previous Nokia X6. HTC Desire HD are also good, but, my preference is to the iPhone 4. Your taste might differ and you can beg to differ.

*IMHO = In My Humble Opinion

iPhone Newbie: What Are The Most Essential Apps That You Need To Install

2009-01-02T17:09:00.000-08:00

The very first thing that you need to do is to jailbreak you iPhone. When you have done this, you will have Cydia and Installer icon in your screen.
So, here are the most essential apps that you need to install:
1. Boss Prefs
This app is the combination of all toggle that you can think of including 3G toggle, EDGE toggle, AutoCorrect toggle and much more. So, you don't have to go to Settings each time you just want to switch of 3G or others.

2. Caller ID Fix 2.1 or 2.2
Depends on your firmware, you need to install Caller ID Fix 2.1 for firmware 2.1 and so on. What this app will do is to correct the phone number so that when somebody calls you, you can see their name on the iPhone.

3. iBlacklist
You can switch off SMS preview here. But in firmware 2.2, you can switch it off in Settings. For 2.1, you need to use this app.

4. ACToggle for Boss Prefs
This is Boss Prefs addon so you can add one more toggle to Boss Prefs that will enable you to turn off AutoCorrect, but in firmware 2.2, you can turn it off in Settings. For firmware 2.1, you need to use this addon.

5. SBSettings
This app enables you to quick open settings toggle by swiping your finger from top left to right. Then you can turn off and on any toggle without leaving your opened app such as Maps.

6. LockDown
I use to lock my phone using Passcode. But each time I slide to unlock, I need to enter my passcode and that is a hassle to me. So, by using LockDown, you can lock certain app that is available on your screen individually.

7. Swirly MMS
Some people say iPhone can't send and receive MMS.

Less essential:
1. Winterboard
This app will enable you to change the default iPhone theme to wide choice of theme available in Cydia.

NOTE: All this apps are from Cydia, that is only available if you jailbreak your iPhone. This apps are valid for iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G.

How To Remove iPhone Call Forwarding Notification When Making A Call

2008-12-27T04:20:00.000-08:00

One thing that I hate when using any handphone(iPhone included) is the pop-up message about the call forwarding notification. On my previous phone that is Sony Ericsson, the pop-up is dismissed after few seconds but for the iPhone, you need to press the 'Dismiss' button.
So, how to remove this Call Forwarding Active notification?

1. Download and install 'iBlacklist' app from Cydia. Use search from the bottom Cydia menu.
2. Open iBlacklist, scroll down and click 'Extras'.

3. In the Extras menu, turn on Call Forward Privacy.

4. That's all.
Note: After you exit by hitting the Home button, iBlacklist will respring your Springboard. Wait a moment and you are to use iPhone without Call Forwarding Active notification anymore!

How To Install 2.2 Apps to 2.1 Firmware

2008-12-25T02:02:00.000-08:00

Some apps are made to be only available for the newest 2.2 firmware. But don't worry, you can get it to work in 2.1 firmware using the method I'm going to tell you here.
NOTE: PLEASE FOLLOW THESE STEPS CAREFULLY OR YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO REBOOT YOUR IPHONE!
1. Download the FWChanger from Cydia. Use the search menu then write "FW".

2. Then, open the app.
3. In Firmware section, write "2.2" and in the Build section, write "5G77".
4. Then, click "Set Custom Firmware".
5. If everything is ok, you will be able to install 2.2 apps to your 2.1 firmware.

iPhone Error 1600 after Firmware 2.2 to Firmware 2.1 Downgrade

2008-12-20T02:23:00.000-08:00

Just a moment ago, I have upgrade my iPhone 3G to firmware 2.2. My iPhone is the jailbreak version. I thought everything is okay when I upgrade it, but when I upgrade to 2.2, my iPhone can't detect my network which is available when I'm using 2.1.
So, this is what I did:
1. Downgrade it to 2.1 again, but then I get error 1600 when I try to restore from DFU mode. This is crazy.
2. Next, what I did is to remove my SIM PIN lock(using another phone) and try to restore using normal method(recovery mode) without DFU mode. Note: if you are stuck in DFU mode, hold Power+Home for 10 sec and them power it on again normally using power button.
3. Then, I restore it to the backup that is date that dated before the 2.2 upgrade. Now, everything is fine!

Here is what I can deduce after my research on the net about iPhone error 1600:
1. This happens only to iTunes 8.0 and later.
2. This happens to jailbroken iPhone with the custom firmware(whether 2.1 or 2.2).
3. This happens when you try to restore your iPhone using DFU mode.
If the reason are like above, read below.

The solution that can be done is:
1. Downgrade iTunes 8.0 to iTunes 7.7. Here is the torrent link for Windows XP
2. Get a custom firmware (torrent this) or make your own custom firmware using Pwnage Tool for Mac.
3. DFU your iPhone the restore using iTunes 7.7 that you have DL'ed.
4. Even if you are on Mac OS X, you can just boot camp your Mac, then install the iTunes 7.7.

That's all. Hope that can solve your problem about iPhone error 1600!
