[Help]Ringer switch is not functioning properly

gstoh — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 12:28:30 +0800

The ringer switch for iPhone 3G has little problem. It cannot switch between silent and normal mode properly. When I switched to silent, there is no logo showing the bell with slashed. And sometimes, it will automatically switch between silent and normal, when I just touched the ringer switch and not even switched it yet.
It seems this problem is caused by the circuit contact inside the switch.

The warranty of iPhone 3G is expired. How do I fix this problem?

My iPhone 3G is with iOS 4.2.1 with jailbreak. But this started to occur before jailbreak.

explorer.exe eat up all the ram

gstoh — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:22:15 +0800

I am not sure whether you know about the chkdsk /r in cmd will cause chkdsk.exe eats up all the ram?
this bug is same as the chkdsk bug in win 7

i found another way to trigger the problem, which is easier..

just select any non OS partition and click properties > tools > check now
it will prompt the user small windows, and check " scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"
then your pc ram will be eaten up all by explorer.exe

ok the main point is ... do you guys know how to fix this problem ? is there any patch or method to fix this problem?

network connection could not establish

gstoh — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 23:09:29 +0800

my network port(integrated in Asus AMD A8N-E nForce 4 ultra) could not establish a network connection with my router
when i plug in my lan cable, it shows acquiring ip after a few MINUTES.. the ip resolved is a weird ip, however,i was still unable to access to router console page after getting that ip
at first i thought it was setting problem.. hence i changed my ip to from manual ip to DHCP ip... let my com to auto assign an ip.. but still the same problem occured
hence i doubt it was driver problem, so i reinstalled my nforce ethernet driver, i try again.. the problem still existed...
... after that.. i used LINUX ubuntu live cd to boot my com and tried to connect to router using ubuntu... the result was still the same, my com could not establish a proper network connection
when i plunged in the cable at the Ethernet port, i saw the LED light at the port lit up , that means my port is still working right ?but somehow , i still cannot create a network connection
Finally, i took my old intel 100mbps network card to install on my A8N-E mobo ... and i booted my pc and the calble was plugged into the intel 100mbps network card port, and it worked!

so what is the main problem that makes my nforce integrated port malfunction? is it my integrated network port dead?!
now i am using intel NIC to connect to router.. sometimes, i plugged the cable back to nforce NIC, it worked again but most of the times failed........
did anyone here face this kind of problem before?

hope lowyat users will help me and solve my problem!
thanks in advance

gstoh — Sat, 06 May 2006 09:33:47 +0800

i dono u guy know about "xunlei" ? a download manager tht better and faster than flashget

so this is when gigaget comes in,
actually gigaget and xun lei are the same, jus tht gigaget is international version, another saying, it is english version + 100% free, no adware and no spyware.

i think the developers are also same if i am not mistaken, bcos the interface is almos 95% same, jus tht gigaget does not have advertisements

Gigaget uses technology that is a bit different from other download managers like Flashget, Free download manager, DAP, or wellget.It is bcos other download manager jus can splitter the thread to increase download speed from the same source.Well gigaget does it too,but gigaget can also finds alternate links itself and conect to alternate links for downloading.(somethings like P2P concept)
