New Malaysia

techhuan — Thu, 10 May 2018 07:11:15 +0800

Good morning my fellow Malaysians,

I may be short-sighted, but this very moment I am damn proud to be a Malaysian. I have thoughts racing thru my head because we finally had a chance to mend some things. I must say I am not seeking revenge but hope to find the truth about a lot of things.

I wish to get to the bottom of :

1. Teo Beng Hock case
2. 1MDB case
3. The rare earth plant deal
4. .....

Calling app that support call forwarding

techhuan — Sun, 22 Apr 2018 11:07:17 +0800

I was looking for an calling app that rely on wifi or mobile data to allow calls to Malaysia. I need this app to support a Malaysia number so I can call forward my other telco number to it. I wouldn’t consider roaming as my trips last for months. So far this is what I found.

1. Yes life app by YTL. Cheapest call rate at 9cent per minute. But sadly this is only for those legacy non LTE accounts. In fact the app for IOS and android has been pulled. If you still have an account that is non LTE, pm me. I want to take over the account.

2. Tapp Connect. Call rate at 20cent per minute. Still in beta, only for android devices. App drains battery quite fast.

3. Voopee (I haven’t tried it yet)

4. U mobile WiFi calling (seems very promising but might not work on all phone)

Please if you know of any other calling app that can do call forwarding, please tell me.

Iphone no service, call ended & call failed

techhuan — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 09:42:37 +0800

Iphone OTB firmware 1.1.1, Modem firmware 04.01.13_G, Itune 7.5, unlock with Anysim 1.1. Tested with Digi and Maxis.

The phone works normal, only the system SMS unreadable. I tried the "SMS fix" program and the SMS from Maxis is now readable. But the phone became unstable and keep losing signal. In the end there is no signal at all. No incoming and outgoing call available. SMS also dead.

Did some research on Internet, some suspect the modem (baseband) firmware corrupted. So I attempt to restore the iphone. Unfortunately, the restore actually upgraded the iphone to firmware 1.1.2 + 04.02.13_G. I was stuck with 1.1.2 and had done some extensive research on the Internet.

I tried to revert back 1.1.1 and even downgrade the baseband back to 04.01.13_G. But the phone functions never work again.

I tried to upgrade to 1.1.2 + 04.02.13_G, downgrade 1.1.1, unlock with Anysim 1.2.1u, install Oktoprep, upgrade to 1.1.2. But the phone functions still never recover.

I was quite sure it is the modem firmware problem because when a non AT&T sim is inserted, after a while the modem firmware info disappears from "setting-general-about" page.

My question to all the experts here are: -
1. What did I miss?
2. Anyone with similar experience?
3. Did Apple alter my iphone in anyway when I do the upgrade to 1.1.2?

Thank you for reading this, any constructive info is greatly appreciated.

========Update 08DEC2007==========
Sorry for not updating the post. Been busy lately.
My iphone problem still not solved. I deleted the baseband of 04.02.13_G and restore down to 1.0.2 and virginize the phone. I the restore to 1.1.2 and restore down to 1.1.1, unlock, oktoprep and updated to 1.1.2. The phone function returned for about an hour then cannot call in/out again.

New question:

1. Does the jailbreak of 1.1.2 do the patch of lockdownd already or do I have to manually replace it with a patch version?

2. My itune is 7.5, could that be the cause of failure?

BENQ Joybook 8000 keyboard

techhuan — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 12:22:18 +0800

Dear Grand Master/Sifu of Lowyat,

I have a BENQ JOYBOOK 8000 with a keyboard problem. The keyboard "full stop" key is stuck press in. I need to find a new keyboard.

I call up BENQ and they say they do not sell spare parts. They insisted that the laptop had to be send to their service center. The downtime will be more than one month if they have spare and currently they don't. Price will be RM150 for the keyboard and RM100 for labor.

Anyone can tell me what other options I have? I know how to remove and install the keyboard.
Anyone can tell me where to find spare if BENQ don't sell the spare?
Anyone have contacts in BENQ service center that can help out?

Please help.
