Windows Phone 7 “Jailbreak”/Unlock ChevronWP7 is Out – Download now!

Sunday, November 28th, 2010 2,958 views

Wow… ChevronWP7: Windows Phone 7 unlocker released! Do you know that you can actually jailbreak your Windows Phone 7 as well just like what other ppl did to their iPhone for more apps!

Windows Phone 7

ChevronWP7 unlocks your Windows Phone 7 to allow side loading of applications that wont be allowed in the Marketplace due to access to private APIs. This unlock works for every WP7 device out there and even reverts it back to the locked state making it safe for the end user.

I’m so gonna Jailbreak my HTC HD7 from Maxis10 Reviewers Programme to test it out whether it’s workable or not! Hmm or should I wait longer and see what’s Microsoft is coming out to encounter this?

ChevronWP7: Windows Phone 7 unlocker / jailbreak

Windows Phone 7 unlocker released

Today we have an exciting breakthrough for the Windows Phone 7 homebrew community – the ability for anyone to unlock a WP7 device without a Marketplace developer account.

Unlocking allows the sideloading of experimental applications that would otherwise can’t be published to the Marketplace, such as those which access private or native APIs.

We’ve taken the pain out of the process involved and put together a super simple executable that will allow anyone to unlock any WP7 device on the market using a USB cable and just a couple clicks.

This tool is completely safe and reversible for the phone. (The app even allows you to relock the phone.)

v1.0 download mirrors:

* http://walshie.me/ChevronWP7.exe
* http://www.multiupload.com/4T7AYFWLSZ

If you’re encountering a connection error

* Try download/install the following registry key and restart your machine then try again
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]
“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
* Try disconnecting, reconnecting and restarting the phone device
* Try closing Zune and restarting the “Zune Windows Mobile Connectivity Service” service (WMZuneComm.exe)
* Close any applications that might be using port 443, such as Skype or Trillian
* Please ensure your device has a “full sync” relationship with the Zune client, not a “guest” relationship

Notes

* Minimum supported OS: Windows XP SP2

As this is our first release, you may run into issues. Please let us know in the comments if this tool worked/didn’t work for you (with relevant system information).

Expect more goodies/tools to be released in the near future.

We look forward to what the broader community can do with this.

Maxis and Digi launched the most wanted phone of the year – iPhone 4. Will BlackBerry® Torch™ 9800 get such response when this smartphone launching? Let’s wait and see… Haha.

When I reached The Gardens, there’s already crowded with the crazy iPhone 4 fans waiting for their turn to grab the iPhone 4 and want to own them 1st. I can’t believe if I really queue up just to grab this iPhone but I don’t. Some told me that the crowd started queuing up from 5pm and ended at 7am. Crazy kan?

Check out the crazy crowd who’s waiting for the launch of the iPhone 4 so that they could grab theirs too!

I’ve got my iPhone 4 on my hand!

While most of you still waiting for the iPhone 4 to be launched by Digi or Maxis this Thursday, 23rd September 2010, I already got my iPhone 4! Don’t be jealous k coz this is my bro’s Singapore iPhone 4 set not mine… Singapore iPhone 4 16GB only SGD888 / 32GB SGD1,048 without contract.

iPhone 4

Waiting part and guessing game is a paint. Finally Maxis is out with the iPhone plan and rates and able to pre-register but now still pending for Digi. Not to worry as it will be out in just a couple of hours and the iPhone 4 will be yours.

Digi iPhone 4 Ads Apple + Kambing
Check out this Digi Ads posted on Digi Facebook… It’s kinda creative too. Can you interpret what’s the ads message? I would guess “4 Apple” = iPhone 4 “Kambing” = Coming on 24.09.10

Anyway I will be going to the Maxis iPhone 4 launch at The Gardens Hotel, Midvalley tomorrow to check out the iPhone 4 and maybe grab one for myself since Digi is yet to show the details yet. =)

My BlackBerry Curve 8520 is smaller than iPhone 4 a little but I prefer iPhone 4 because the screen size is bigger and in HD! My BlackBerry Curve 8520 cannot fight with this iPhone 4 and I love the iPhone 4 camera with focus which my BlackBerry can’t do it. I need a better camera phone so that I could just snap some food photo or some events photo in a better quality way.

iPhone 4 Bigger Screen

See I can surf in bigger screen and facebook in a bigger touch screen too!

Are you planning to get iPhone 4?

Maxis and Digi to Offer Apple iPhone 4 in Malaysia Soon!

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010 3,969 views

Yes, finally Maxis and Digi website is up with the iPhone 4 registration or interest page now. Both telco are now fighting to promote and push for iPhone 4 now and getting their users to submit their email for the latest updates of the iPhone 4 availability. There’s no pricing of the iPhone 4 and the new data rate plan but I believe they will come up with more idea how to compete between this two telco.

Apple iPhone 4

The registration of interest does not treat as iPhone 4 per-order. You may also wait and see which telco could provide the best rate and best iPhone 4 package but I recon it will not be much different. Maxis registration page required much information compared to Digi page and Digi is using GoogleDoc to collect data, they are really smart and cost saving. =)

Maxis iPhone 4 Pre-order / Registration

For Maxis register here.

Digi iPhone 4 Pre-order / Registration

For Digi register here.

Despite of iPhone 4 antenna issue and screen issue I believe there’s still a lot of iPhone fans out there who’s dying for this. Will you be getting a free iPhone 4 bumper / case to solved the iPhone 4 antenna problem as well? =p

I’ve actually registered myself to both Maxis and Digi so that I could get the 1st hand information and details (e.g. when is the iPhone 4 available to Malaysia and the pricing of the iPhone 4 package) from both the telco.

Tips – BlackBerry LED Status Light Indicator

Saturday, October 31st, 2009 8,089 views

Enjoying your Xpax BlackBerry? Do you know what’s the light blinking in your BlackBerry for? Here is a quick guide and tips to the BlackBerry LED indicators.

BlackBerry Curve 8520

BlackBerry Curve 8520 - LED Status Light Indicator

Blue – Blue is for Bluetooth.

A flashing blue light indicates an active connection via bluetooth. You could enable/disable this feature under “Options > Bluetooth > Menu > Options > LED Connection Indicator: On/Off”

Green – Green is for coverage indicator.

Who really wants to be continuously reminded they are in a service area? I definitely don’t need this, it’s a waste of your batt if it’s blinking all days! Anyway it’s off by default! You could enable/disable this “feature” under “Options > Screen/Keyboard > LED Coverage Indicator On/Off”

Red – This is the good one! A flashing red light indicates a new message is waiting. Check under your messages folder for any unread items.

You can choose to be notified of new messages visually under “Profiles > Advanced > [Select profile you wish to modify] > [Select message the application that you wish to modify on how's the notification] > Repeat Notification : LED Flashing/Off”

Yellow – Yellow indicates that you are running out of battery. Find a charger quickly!

No Light – Nothing happen la! duh. Haha.

Introducing the next new Apple iPhone 3G S

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 1,944 views

Apple iPhone 3G S

Meet the fastest, most powerful iPhone yet. iPhone 3G S features video recording, Voice Control, up to 32GB of storage, and more.

Apple iPhone 3G S

The Fastest iPhone Ever
The first thing you’ll notice about iPhone 3G S is how quickly you can launch applications. Web pages render in a fraction of the time, and you can view email attachments faster. Improved performance and updated 3D graphics deliver an incredible gaming experience, too. In fact, everything you do on iPhone 3G S is up to 2x faster and more responsive than iPhone 3G.

Video
Now you can shoot video, edit it, and share it — all on your iPhone 3G S. Shoot high-quality VGA video in portrait or landscape. Trim your footage by adjusting start and end points. Then share your video in an email, post it to your MobileMe gallery, publish it on YouTube, or sync it back to your Mac or PC using iTunes.

3-Megapixel Camera
The new 3-megapixel camera takes great still photos, too, thanks to built-in autofocus and a handy new feature that lets you tap the display to focus on anything (or anyone) you want.

Tap to take a picture.
iPhone snaps shots with a tap then saves them in the Camera Roll, where they’re easy to enjoy. Rotate iPhone to see a photo in landscape. Zoom in or out with a pinch or a double-tap. Turn any photo into your iPhone wallpaper. iPhone even geotags your photos with information about where they were taken.

Apple iPhone 3G S

Tap to focus.
Autofocus keeps things sharp, and a macro lens takes great close-ups. But you can also tap the iPhone display to selectively focus on anything in the picture — a face in the background, for example.

Voice Control
Voice Control recognizes the names in your Contacts and knows the music on your iPod. So if you want to place a call or play a song, all you have to do is ask.

Apple iPhone 3G S

Compass
With a built-in digital compass, iPhone 3G S can point the way. Use the new Compass app, or watch as it automatically reorients maps to match the direction you’re facing.

Cut, Copy & Paste
Cut, copy, and paste words and photos, even between applications. Copy and paste images and content from the web, too.

Apple iPhone 3G S

Landscape Keyboard
Want more room to type on the intelligent software keyboard? Rotate iPhone to landscape to use a larger keyboard in Mail, Messages, Notes, and Safari.

Messages
Send messages with text, video, photos, audio, locations, and contact information. You can even forward one or more messages to others.

Search
Find what you’re looking for across your iPhone, all from one convenient place. Spotlight searches all your contacts, email, calendars, and notes, as well as everything in your iPod.

Accessibility
iPhone 3G S offers accessibility features to assist users who are visually or hearing impaired. These features include the VoiceOver screen reader, a Zoom feature, White on Black display options, Mono Audio, and more.

Internet Tethering
Surf the web from practically anywhere. Now you can share the 3G connection on your iPhone with your Mac notebook or PC laptop. Tethering is not currently offered in the U.S. and some other countries. See your carrier for availability.

Voice Memos
Capture and share a thought, a memo, a meeting, or any audio recording on the go with the new Voice Memos application.

Nike + iPod
iPhone includes built-in Nike + iPod support. Just slip the Nike + iPod Sensor (available separately) into your Nike+ shoe and start your workout.

Stocks
Stocks on iPhone shows you charts, financial details, and headline news for any stock you choose. Rotate iPhone to see even more detailed information.

Apple iPhone 3G S

Watch YouTube videos wherever you are. Log in to your YouTube account to save and sync bookmarks and rate your favorites.
