I finally succumbed to the "Fruit Vendor"... haiz... but according to my bestie, Starry, I am the only 1 she knows who is *%I*&%*&^$#@^ the fruit vendor's products, the fuji Apple iPhone.
Ok, I got it cos of some promotion, also managed to "squeeze" some discount off my Sunshine Service provider... I actually had to resort to using this statement:
"How long have I been your customer?"
"Erm... 6yrs, 4mths and 23 days..?"
"Great, 6yrs, 4mths and 23 days AND this is ALL that you can do for me?! C'mon!"
So.... was I the unreasonable or tyrant customer?! I said it in a decent tone, I wasnt even sounding pissed - ok, mayb a little sacarastic... but I meant no-harm-asking what!?!
So, it was delivered to my house & little did i know this was the start of e nightmare I have been experiencing for the past few days since Thursday.
----------
Thursday: Got the phone delivered to my doorsteps.
Frankly, I was alittle thrilled n excited but after I poke it with the USB, it kept prompting me error "syncserver has stoppped working" etc etc "itunes is not able to load sync provider blah blah blah" repeatedly.... error, pissed.
I troubleshoot the problem till abt 3am...
------------
Friday: Good friday public holidays, so cant do much, tried again, accidentally erased all my contacts in the phone from previous sync (gmail). Luckily for me, I actually spent 2 weekends cleaning up my contacts n migrating them to gmail - getting them back in my phone was seamless. but still that created abit of HooHah at my friend's place (where we were having a great time playing wii). I had to borrow the computer & google how to "fetch or Push" it back to my Mephone.
I troubleshoot the problem till abt 4am...
----------
Sat: Morning jog - 20km but feel very naked jogging at ECP cos dun have phone with me, my fav armband cant fit the MePhone in. Damn. I wished I could use the MePhone app with GPS to track my workout & pacing!
Needed a cover/protection badly, after getting jellied legs from running the 20km, i tramped the whole of TampOne, Tamp Mall, push cart btw Tamp bus int n TampOne, back to TampOne n finally decided on this cover. I considered to settle for those Push cart ones, but Screen protector is $10, badly manufractured chiong silicion cover is $10, that makes $20. I could get a better Made-In-China one from Challenger!
I had wanted something GREEN or ORANGE in colour. in the end, I got both my wishes: Tadah!
I hate the Mirror Screen protector though, but since it comes with the package (2 free somemore!!), dun complain!
Anyway, still having problem sync-ing with itunes. Everyone tells me it's idiot proof, just plug in the USB, itunes will detect n viola! Well, then I am beyond idiocy...
I troubleshoot the problem till abt 3am....
-----------------
Sunday: Restored most of the stuff, tried again on Sunday morning. Alas, still same error though my virus n IP address hijack problem is resolved.
Bo bian, called M1 tech support. Ding Dong for at least 8 call backs (IT help had to call me back several times as they cant resolve the prob. In the end, advised me to go dwn to Paragon M1 to find the those Sunnny pple....
I shower & piah down to M1 , waited 1.5hrs for my turn, another 2 hrs for the trouble shooting-left my lappy there while me n starry went for desserts (she claims that Chocolate has got soothing effects n can calm my troubled soul....)
After a cool 3.75hrs, the problem still cant be resolved. argh.
I am down with an operational NOT-ready Orange MePhone. Says who it's idiot proof! The Sunny pple read all the articles that I read online & still cant resolve my problem! argh!
My conclusion: It's Windows Vista Home Basic 32bit version that is having some glitch/bugs. I have encountered similar cases like this with my old phone. But it's a gd lappy!
So now, i managed to work ard the problem, unorthodox method - catch the sync before it prompt the error & sync most of the impt stuff.
------------------
I am currently down with some feverish feeling & cold sweat so resting... enough troubleshooting...
I still have to learn how to do these things, somebody teach me if you know k!
1) Read word, excel, PDF doc attachment on my Orange MePhone .. All my recording, recipes are in these formats! Help!
2) Sync some photos over!
3) Learn how to change tunes for ringtones, I am paranoid now cos I cant wake up (different alarm tones), cant hear my phone calls n sms! HELP!
4) Back up all the apps I downloaded.
YEP! that's all I can think of now....
please... i need help.... for now, it's just me n my Orange MePhone....
I have succumbed to the fruit vendor!
