Deactivate Delete off Maxis 3G Internet connection on Nokia 5800 !!

My goodness!! My maxis internet usage blown up extra 100% without noticed by me!!!

I found out in my Middle White Hardware  Key >> Settings >> Connectivity >> Connection Mgr. existed  TWO connection  one which is my WIFI and another is Maxis 3G internet connection,
I try to disconnect Maxis 3G connection and thought everything will be fine.

Yet, it will auto connect back and I don't know how to disable it at first.
Reading through some articles and forum to ask me deactivate Maxis 3G service by sending *136*4# call.
The status replied from Maxis successful and need to wait for 2 Hours for the process.
After 2 hours, still the same, connection is always activated and bytes keep uploading and downloading!!!

You can check how much data sent or received which all is your $$$ by clicking the activated Maxis 3G connection at Middle White Hardware  Key >> Settings >> Connectivity >> Connection Mgr.

Finally, I discovered there are priority can be set for your connections under
Middle White Hardware  Key >> Settings >> Connectivity >> Destinations >> Internet  !!
Well, you can change your WIFI connection to be more priority ( smaller index ) than Maxis 3G connection

and to be safe, You can delete of Maxis 3G connection, Maxis WAP connection and Maxis 3G MMS connection then key in *136*4#  then press call button to deactivate 3G services!

You have to disconnect all connection then click back to the Destination >> Internet menu and delete it off, then you are safe and still able to receive mms because Destination >> Multimedia msg still got your Maxis 3G MMS connection.

I wonder, how come Maxis can't process the command within min, yet after 2 hours, still not working...Disappointed me and not even notice us a limit of our internet usage!

Search Own Twitter History Item

Hmmm... been long time using Twitter, yet not found any convenient method to find history of my own Twitter item.

Finally found a way:

Just key in this URL:
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=ethanliew+flash
( where ethanliew is my own Twitter ID + flash my search keyword )

Now I am using Plurk.com + Twitter.com + facebook.com + Blog with Plurk Widget.
Once I start Plurk-ing, my items will be added to Twitter, Facebook and Blogroll.
Make my life easier =)

And now I would please to Plurk and Tweet all favorite links instead of bookmarking it =)
since it is easier for me to search the url back and at the same time can share the goods to public

Using Digital Camera As Scanner

I wonder whether there are no software or method to replace bulky scanner with digital camera.

Now days, everyone having a digital camera, probably every phone have digital cam features, so how we can use it to make the world paperless or help to protect our world ?

I just subscribe 350.org and try to help as I can to save our earth for next generations.

Here my issue while using digital camera:
Pro:
1. fast and easy to snap one
2. macro mode allow me to snap a very clear documents
3. lower resolution, easy to attached to email

Cons:
1. lighting issue ( always need to photoshop leveling the image )
2. paper document always moving / flipping / shaking due to wind or ceiling fan
3. need to bluetooth or unload those photos to my pc
4. macro mode might not available for phones camera or some of the old version of digital cam
5. cam lens have to always flat aligned with paper
6. after scanned, the images always larger if you print out
( always need to photoshop adjust to the actual size )

Finally, I found this software
Snapter
http://snapter.atiz.com/

for iPhone guy you may like this

I am still learning how to operate those software.

Really wish it able to ease my job to resize those digital photos.

You may download and have a try. Hope it helps to save your penny for a scanner to scan simple documents.

Disable Search Engine to Index Your facebook Information

If you don't know, as of today, Facebook will automatically index all your info on Google, which allows everyone to view it.

To change this option, go to Settings --> Privacy Settings --> Search --> then UN-CLICK the box that says 'Allow indexing'.

Facebook kept this one quiet =)

Information might be good to be indexed as marketing or distribution purposes.
For personal photos, you probably don't like your face been view or searched by search engine =)
