USB ADB connection
As mentioned in the FJ software forum website
I initial not able to find the USB connection to the MyPhoneExplorer software drivers
later I found it under the CD partition that appear when connect to the viewpad 7
Furthermost I notice there is a different in the ADB driver in ViewSonic and HTC
With the HTC sync there is possible that a USB and HDD storage connection can be
appear at the same time
While in viewsonic , once the storage mode is chosen
Those programs or data stored in SD will be locked not able to be accessed
So interestingly to check to check those in the phone memory
Once in this mode, are those applications appear in the all program

recalibrate battery ?
ViewSonic viewpad 7 seem to be problem with battery reading
However, I just want to record when I try to charge the battery and saw a highest of 4202 mV
This is after I done the recalibration excercise After turn on after full charger and left the charger on I run the overcharge only and saw that record
While I wrote this blog during the Channel 8 news the reading go up and down and may for example stay at 4188 mV Other the old battery software
There is another integrated software mini Info It has a dashboard that show all system infor Furthermore, when press on battery chart then the battery infor will appear. Most of all, it contain almost all system settings that need to display and to be configured on one mini screen

one day with iphone 3GS
Remember Eric has brought a Dell streak so he lent me his old iphone 3GS hp only
I have to find a iphone charger at home and so I left it charge for 3 hours
In the noon time I start explore to play with it.
Here goes small of the problems
1. I need to search on line on how to take out the sim card
I have to improvise to use a safety pin
2. The speaker was working fine but I try to call to iphone but no sound
I change the setting and it sounds ok
After some struggle and call my friend who keep telling me to adjust the volume button
After half and hour, I suspect and toggle the "switch" on top of the volume button
and it works !
Apple actually create a mute button. As compare HTC use more inovative to flip
the hp over to mute
3. With one button, I was struggle with the back button
just like first time play with MAC looking for right option button
It take me a while to understand the whole IOS application screen layout design too
However, it remind me of old nokia menu system where you need to down or up the application selection
And the screen must have a back and forward option to end the selection
so there is waste on top header and bottom footer. Screen will be limited.
4. I still locating font and size for the display
as I struggling to see web content
missing again HTC auto sizing of web content as I zoom up the size
While wiki web page was also not able to enlarge in size
5. at 3pm the apple drain out all battery.
Apple is very accurately and the power disappear after 3 %
while I half way in writing reply to Eric
During the five minute I struggle to power on again
but iphone refuse for 3 minute to power on after it was about 5% charge
This is unacceptable for emergency purpose
Similaryly, iphone is same power hungry as HTC desire
BUT I like the simple battery % on the notification header
Android win by able to modify the notification header
6. The keyboard I have not figured out how to turn on the CAPS lock
7. Apple still require Google Map for the free map
but I was not able to find a free Navigation software on apple store
I think I write too much and it is old new as there are other complaints
on the Internet already.
With point 4 I think I need a bigger physical screen due to my
老花眼= old-sightedness (presbyopia)
My choice is seem to be only viewsonic viewpad 7

how to reconfig HuaWei (SingTel) wireless dongle
Last PC show or CITEX, I met this guy
and he explain about why so wifi tablet not able to use USB 3G dongle
Simply because those dongle when plug in will be recognize as harddisk
rather than modem
This clearly explain why some HuaWei modem stick will work and some dun
This time I met the maybe the same guy again at IT Show
even thought this time there are no other China or India ShanZai hp vendor
Abiko still bring in four models of ShanZai tablet
one of which will on clear ICA custom by today
He share again on this concept and show me online
With the hint, I do a search and found
http://3g-modem.wetpaint.com/page/executing+AT-commands+under+Windows
I am going to try on my dongle to see if it can be reconfigured
as most important I try on Viewpad 7 with the unconfigured dongle
and it is fails
so I going to prepare before I test on Sunday before I purchase
If not I would have to purchase the ShanZai tablet Freescale A8 instead
Daniel is also using a HTC Hero where he jail break to 2.2 and even 2.3
He show me that he overclock it too
I believe that vendor like viewsonic or Palladine should employ this kind of people
(there is rumor in the Net that saying Palladine buy off selve ShanZai tablet
and brand it under its name and so does not support further)
It is the value added service that differentiate for a ignorant company
As an example, this is so simple
I download PUTTY and figured out the com8 that being used
Just connect via Singtel Broadband on Mobile software that store in the HuaWei E180 CD flash memory
and follow the instruction inside
Then REMEMBER you have to disconnect Singtel broadband
Start Run D:\temp\download\putty.exe
Follow the instruction to select to COM8
At the blank DOS screen type ATZ
if there is OK response
try ATI
or other like in http://3g-modem.wetpaint.com/page/common+AT-commands
But just Lastly do the following for this model
AT^U2DIAG=0
OK
(check out http://3g-modem.wetpaint.com/page/Huawei+AT-commands)
Safety Remove Hardware DRIVE that is for HuaWei
If dun understand just reboot and remove the dongle
The PC will recognize the HuaWei again with new configuration
(This will be explain later)
Then after that re-insert
Then open explorer and you will not find the CD Drive for HuaWei anymore
Now the HuaWei will start up as a modem and PC UI interface (UI)
and no more NAND-flashmemory drive (CD)
This is the configuration that will be work for E180
This blog can end here, the following is just further discussion
I double confirm by going through the process
On my PC, the new configuration is using COM24
then I try
AT^U2DIAG=1
Which turn on modem and CD
In the window explorer I can see the singtel CD drive on HuaWei again
So this confirm
n=0 is seem that best configuration for me now
I can use the re-configured E180 to test on viewsonic and A8 and palladine on Sunday !!
and he explain about why so wifi tablet not able to use USB 3G dongle

wireless access point
After I have finished my recce on every floor of IT show
I call Eric and he happen to be at IT show too
I went down 2 floor Starhub where he is on queue for his broadband
(too bad he can not wait any longer for Fibre broadband)
After half an hour with him
(he alread on queue for half an hour)
I being ask to search for UTP to wifi devices
or some vendor know as wireless access point
Eric got one at $60 but he sold it off at $50 as power adaptor too heavy
He need it when he go hotel offer freen room LAN connection
but he only got wifi devices with him
(same sceario that I always face too)
I found the Aztech 3G wireless N router interesting as
it meet all requirements even with support for 3G dongle like a Mifi
But Eric want even smaller and ligter
So I find another products at the other end (will tell you later)
and the rest of TPlink, Belkin has those devices but too bulky and expensive
He took the brosure as by time I go down and queue up with him
It was pass 10pm when he done the payment
He also brought Dell Streak instead as
He just thrown back ipad today to apple after 3 days
as Apple got this 14 days return warranty services !!
(I was tempting to try one of these ipad or ipad2)
He complaint there are so many applications not able to run on ipad eg whatapps
He still saying ipad 3G can not use to 2G voice call...
So he get rid of it even though apple offer compensation as ipad 2 is out soon
Eric has a iphone 3GS and iphone 4 before
(We buy and sell iphone 4 recently until market now too low for profit)
We went for dinner and he was fasinate by Dell streak
almost that I can trick him to buy me steak ... ha ha
Instead we went for LaiLai beef noodle and it is very nice
as I miss the $1 burger King offer today

与谷歌Android接轨 日手机商要进军国际市场
我希望中国山寨手机也可以，趁机转型
以下是我看到的报道有感而发
http://www.zaobao.com.sg/gj/gj110306_010.shtml
与谷歌Android接轨 日手机商要进军国际市场
符祝慧
（符祝慧报道）去年全球销量超越苹果手机iPhone的Android开放式系统，备受日本手机厂商的青睐。夏普（Sharp），索尼，NEC以及京瓷（Kyocera）等都忙着与这一软件平台搭肩，准备乘其顺风车向国际市场迈进。
日本手机花样多，用途广，不但可作为信用卡使用，还可看电视，一些还装上了太阳能。但令人感到奇怪的是，日本手机这么多年来一直无法在国际上打响名堂。
专家指出，这主要是因为日本制造的手机软体平台繁重，网路服务不广，用户无法下载其他国家的方程式，结果阻碍了它们在国际市场的发展。
不过，如今有越来越多日本商家与Android接轨，这或许将成为日本手机厂家在国际上大展拳脚的一次机会。
Android的东家是著名网站谷歌。2005年买下当时默默无名的Android技术后，这几年已超越在市场上称霸10年的苹果iPhone。
谷歌的Android全球合作部门主管拉格林，对于同日本厂家的合作表示看好。他说：“日本拥有优秀的手机产品、良好的设计，以及优秀的工程师，现在，他们将有最好的软体！”
索尼推出的最新款高档手机Xeperia智慧型手机，已摈弃传统平台，改用Android。京瓷也发布，计划在不久的将来，在美国市场推出新款Android手机。NEC的手机产品也在加速转型，要进军中国等新兴市场。
夏普手机开发主管白石直木表示，日本的技术足以媲美欧美，搭配Android进驻国际市场更有看头。
