Globe Billing Charges iPhone 3G/3GS/4 Problem and Solution

I have an iPhone 3G and now a new iPhone 4 that I rarely use for Internet broswsing since I only love the camera, particularly of the iPhone 4 with vastly improved features. I got billed for about P3k when I did a jailbrek for my iPhone 3G but after that I learned how to avoid it.

One time I visited Globe business center in Trinoma and found an irate globe subscriber complaining about Globe overbilling iPhone postpaid account for accumulating thousands of pesos but really using it.

it turned out the settings of her iPhone is not tweaked to disallow instant connection to the Internet when it requires a connection, something most iPhone users are unaware.

I dont' know what happened to the complaint, as far as i know, being ignorant of the fact that the iPhone connects to the Internet and Globe will wither charge you PhP0.12/kB or PhP5/15 minutes (for time based). Leaving your iPhone in default settings can really jack up your monthly bill even you don't actually use.

It's just a case of RTFM, know your new iPhone so you won't get in the same boat as those other people.

How to avoid Globe Overbilling iPhone?
Turn off Cellular data (Settings > General > Network). It should be grayed out (Off)

another iPhone Tip, much better than the first one is to edit the APN entry so as to avoid accidental activaation of Globe cellular data:

Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data Network >

edit the APN internet.globe.ph by adding anything you may desire like internet.globe.ph OFF then deleting the OFF when you need to connect

this is an effective way to avoid Globe overbilling iPhone.

another trick I use at home is to use my laptop, connected to the Internet via Sun Broadband or Globe Tatoo, then configure my laptop as a wifi Internet router with Internet connection sharing where my iPhone can connect.

It's easy and does not need another hardware to do. More on this next time :P

Note: this can also happen even if you're using Smart or Sun Cellular. If you're a prepaid subscriber, you'll use up your load in no time. A similar situation for Blackberry phone users and also for Apple iPad 3G even if it's turned off.

How to Play Farmville on iPhone 3G/3GS/4 sans Flash?

Wifey wants a shiny new iPhone 4, recently launched, to replace her 2 year old iPhone 3G. She wants to play Zynga's Farmville while she's away but since I again researched for a solution, hack, or tips on doing so...

It seems you really can't play Farmville on iPhone as long as Apple won't support Adobe Flash on iPhone platform. You're better off buying a new phone that supporst flash or ditch iPhone.

I still can't find an alternative software for Adobe Flash for the iPhone so I can't help you

iPhone 3G iTunes Error: “We could not complete your iTunes store request,an unknown error occurred (-9808)”

I got a distress call yesterday from an officemate with an iPhone 3G (a
relatively new one even if the iPhone 3GS is already out)

The iPhone had a blank white screen running old firmaware 2.2.1 and after trying to reset it, Id decided to upgrade it to the latest iPhone firmware version to see if it fixes the problem.

As I plugged the iPhone to my notebook and fired up iTunes, I was able to upgrade it to the latest version but an error of iTunes kept popping up that says:

“We could not complete your iTunes store request,an unknown error occurred (-9808)”

After investigation and some logs "forensics" of Windows Vista, I found out it's caused by a certificate revocation error, probably due to my use of an older iTunes version.

Due to lack of time, I just used a workaround solution to "hack" Internet Options (from Internet Explorer Options tab), Advanced and Security to uncheck "“Check for server certificate revocation (requires restart)” then restarted Internet Explorer to effect the change.

When I tried again to access iTunes store, the error did go away.

My officemate was so happy she thought her iPhone's bad and saved her the hassle of visiting Globe business center for local iPhone technical support.
