Iphone 4 signal problem fix

iPhone 4 Signal Problem VerifiedBeing an Iphone fan, yes I’m interested in getting the new Iphone 4 (in white in case anyone is interested in giving me!), despite some rantings against signal troubles.

You see, the Iphone 4′s flat silver metal edge wrapped around the side are actually broken down into three separate strips which are antennas covering one for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS and the other for UMTS and GSM (telephony data standards). By placing a sweaty or oily finger across the thin gap between the two antennae, you bridge them, thus introducing ‘attentuation and detuning’, which drops your signal strength.

AnandTech says that the problem could have been avoided had Apple used ‘an insulative coating atop the stainless steel. Perhaps even use[d] diamond vapor deposition (like they did with the glass screen atop the iPhone 3GS) to insulate the stainless steel from users.

Iphone 4 jailbreak now available

With Apple Iphone’s latest phone model unit Iphone 4, comes the latest operating system iOS4, which can also be used for older models 3g, and 3gs.  The jailbreak for these older models can be found in this site of devteam, and this redsnow site.

However, the one click user friendly jailbreak for iOS4 for the actual new Iphone 4 unit has yet to be made.  Sources say that hackers already have root access to the Iphone 4 firmware, and actual software for jailbreak is only just a week or two away.

Ipad versus IPED, the china clone (also called apad)

Ipad too expensive for you? Not impressed by the feature loadout for Apple’s big tablet device? Well, if you’re travelling abroad anytime soon, you’re in luck. The iPed has just been released in Shenzhen, China (the place where original Apple Ipods and Ipads are made) and it’s only going to set you back a cool $150 or so–quite a discount compared to Apple’s asking price of $500 for its lowest model of iPads.

So, what exactly is the iPed? Well, for starters, it’s not a counterfeit knock-off of Apple’s iPad per se. Though it might look fairly identical on the outside, the iPed is actually a wee bit heavier than Apple’s 1.5-1.6 pound device.  The iPed comes with an Intel CPU and runs Google’s Android OS, rather than the iPhone OS. It could, in fact, be a preview of legit Android tablets to come.

How to unlock your huwaei usb modem for use with any globe smart or sun e160, e1553, e220 3g provider

So you bought a globe tattoo, smart bro, or sun 3g usb wifi dongle, but are only limited to the provider that its labeled for?  Not to worry, unlocking is easy, it’s finding the unlock code that was hard.

To unlock, all you need to do is remove original sim, and replace with another sim.  So if you bought a globe one, replace with sun or smart, then of course it won’t work at first, and ask you for an unlock number.

Looking behind your huwaei stick, you will find an IMEI number like 55565758231.  You will need this number to calculate for an unlock code.

Now there’s no need to buy three separate usb dongles, since each provider has their own deadspots!

Apple tablet islate or itablet to be announced soon?

Not even out yet, Apple's new product to be launched this month is the new topic of speculation, even sending Apple shares surging.  Apple’s stock (AAPL) on Thursday surged $6.94, or 3.4 percent, to close at a record high of $209.04. That topped the previous closing high of $207 on Nov. 17.

So what would the name of the tablet like device be?

MacRumors has found the historic record proving Apple ownership of the iSlate.com domain to be that of Apple's as of 2007.

The pictures depicted in this blog are just concept ideas of what the speculated islate may look like, which would be priced in the range of $800-$1000.

Best Alternative Sites for Mininova

Now that mininova has gone bust, a lot are asking where to get their favorite torrents: updated and organized in the mininova way?

Mininova disabled access to over a million torrent files when it partly shut down its website after 5 years of being online, partly due to the negative ruling on thepiratebay.

The most glaring reason for this change in format was last August a Dutch court ruled that Mininova had to remove all links to ‘infringing’ torrent files, with disastrous consequences.

Since it is technically unfeasible to pre-approve or filter every potentially infringing torrent file, the Mininova team decided to throw in the towel and only allow torrents to be submitted by approved uploaders. This move resulted in the deletion of more than a million torrents, many of which were not infringing any copyrights at all.
