iphone conflict
2008
Finally I can surf on the iPhone using 3G. Guess what was causing the problem? My home wireless settings. It was in conflict with the device.
Singtel was equally perplexed. The product manager tapped away furiously and was about to give up when she gave it one last shot. “I hope your remember your home wireless settings password,” she said. “I’m going to wipe it out as a last try.”
She did and it worked. First time she saw this problem, she added.
Since the wi-fi surfing at public places is fine, I now have to re-configure my home wireless setting and HOPEFULLY, there’ll be no conflict. I’m crossing my fingers.
As to why I took so long to get this solved… well, I wanted to be sure that I’d tried every avenue I knew first before I went to SingTel. I even hooked up with geeky friend Julian to see what could possible have gone wrong.
For people finicky about leaving finger prints on the iPhone’s surface, there’s a special cloth that comes with the phone. I’m sure many noticed it. I didn’t – I don’t read manuals (if the product can’t be used immediately out of the box, I don’t have the time to fiddle with it) and the cloth was right at the bottom of it. It’s quite useful.
