FiXing a new iPhone 6S!
Filed Under Daily
Malika came with a big smile showing me her new Iphone 6S, 64Gb and, of course, she asked for help to transfer all her SMS, contacts, phone numbers and other little things from her old Iphone 4S to her new fancy toy.
Luckily, I’ve spent some weeks ago hacking my own Iphone 4S with the latest iOS 9.0.2 so it only took me 2 simple clicks to do the recovery. Malika was very impressed because the technician at the Apple store tried to do the same thing unsuccessfully for 4 hours. To be fair, it was not the technician’s fault and it did take me 2 weeks to fully look into the same subject myself.
Malika was very happy finding all her data back on her new toy. I was a bit disappointed because the new Iphone 6S looks much nicer and it is very smooth but it does not give me an impression of being really different from my Iphone 4S. I shall wait a bit for a good deal and I might grab a Samsung 6S Edge instead and learn about Android since I never had the chance to own one. I did use it few times while helping other people though.

All we do by Oh Wonder…. so sad but so nice ! The lyric is a wonder!:
Lyric:
All we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is lie and wait
All we do is feel the fade
All we do is play it safe
All we do is live inside a cage
Chorus:
I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Can’t find paradise on the ground

There was a beautiful song on the radio yesterday in the car when I was on my way to the market. I am trying to find it but no luck so far. It was so sad therefore I am trying again today.
I finally understand why I cannot help people with their internet/phone, gas, electricity or even car insurance bills. Indeed, they only have a small “window of time” in the day to dedicate to these matters. Also, they never tried to cancel a current deal to get a new one so here are the list of their fears:
- cancellation fees
- no connection during the transfer
- loosing their current phone number
- ignorance about their existing contract (12/24 months or no cancellation fees)
Nowadays, I simply told them where they can get the information about the existing cheapest deals and how much I pay for each of them. Maybe someday, they will find time to optimize their bills.
Most of them pay in a month what I pay in a year: meaning 6 to 12 times more! I also discovered that they do not even use the most valuable of their resources properly: Internet to gather information or to compare. They only use Internet for few things: Facebook, emails and maybe some administrative matters.

These exercises are quite hard if you follow the program seriously and the Kinect + Xbox 360 is doing a great job at detecting your body frame. The weather is rainy so I have less opportunities to run or to use my bike daily but I like Autumn with the change of the colors all around me: the trees and the leaves.
I also accidentally hit my right foot hard on the stupid rowing machine that I sold two months ago and I can still feel a little bit of discomfort. I went to check with the doctor and it is some minor inflammation of the tendon or joints. The doctor gave the regular stuff I already used and some extra local cream for a massage. Nothing really serious and i barely felt it nowadays but I do not want to run again while I still feel something.

A clean jailbreak of iOS 9.0.2 has been released (Download Pangu 9 1.0.1 for Windows): LINK
Now, I need the latest Tomtom Western European, version 1.21 for it! I am downloading it now. It looks like that Free.fr is loosing its “relay” deals with other internet providers. I do not get the 4G strong signal from my studio anymore on my hotspot. I guess all good things come to an end!
Do not to play with the above instructions if you are not a professional and that you enjoy a nice looking Iphone 6 or Iphone 6S with a perfect iOS 9.0.2.
Since I am a geek and a weirdo, I always enjoyed tricky things that only I can manipulate and it takes hours and hours of tweaking that not many people enjoy doing!

I talked to Malika from midnight till 1:20 am yesterday! The conversation was mainly about her friends and our own respective quest for happiness in life and … taxes. She told me so many weird stories about her friends breaking up or cheating on each other. In the end, we had a good laugh.
She concluded that we are “loners” but, at least, we avoided the other types of problems that couples have!

I went to “Paris 13ie” to get my regular Vietnamese sandwich and I had a haircut. Very well done without much hair cut in the end! I liked it.

iOS 9.0.2!
Filed Under Daily
This iOS 9.0.2 upgrade gave me a huge headache. I’ve been trying to jailbreak or downgrade back to iOS 8.4.1. All this time reading on internet is really P-A-I-N-F-U-L-L. I managed to tweak and to use many useful applets for years in the jailbreak mode and now many of these things are blocked! What a shame!

It is priceless but it requires so much mental energy to fully use it:
- find the information
- understand its implications
- find the time and the energy to use it.
My neighbor asked me about his internet and all the problems he encountered at the beginning to get it. I explained to him that it was normal because we were not physically connected. Then I asked him what kind of phone deal he had?
He had the 19.99 Euros / month deal that would allow him to have 4G access and 50 Gb Download/Upload. I explained to him that, all he needed, was to get a phone that had 4G connectivity and to share that phone connection with his computer.
He told me that there was a meter on his 3G phone and he was limited to 3 Gb. I repeated my explanation a second time: His internet provider, Free gave only 3 Gb for 3G bandwidth but 50 Gb for 4G bandwidth: therefore he needed a 4G phone or a hotspot with 4G to have almost free/fast/unlimited internet (for his personal usage).
I hoped that my explanation got through his brain but looking at his facial expression, I think that I wasted my time one more time
Such is my life ….!
