iBooks 1.2 error bug on iPhone or iPad

There is a problem with the configuration of your iPhone. Please restore with itunes and reinstall iBooks.

I just received this error after I directly download a new ebook from appstore in my iPhone (see screenshot above). I currently using iBooks version 1.2, IOS 4.2.1 jailbroken by redsnow 0.9.6b6.

So here is what I do to overcome this: "I just click OK from that warning window, and I tap again the same book that I want to read, and if I encountered the same error warning window I re-click the OK button again. I do that several times until the warning window gone and the Book is opened."


So just be patient guy :-) and most of all, Apple should update this bug in their new version of iBooks.


G'lak and have a try!!!

How long does it take to Ship an iPad from San Fransisco-US to Jakarta-Indonesia?

Ok, this is actually for my personal reference. I often buy electronics from ebay such as blackberry, iPhone, psp, and also couple of action figures :-)...well you can't blame that "in every man soul lies a  boy spirit" :-P.

Last month I bought an iPad (16GB 3GS) for about 650 USD (item= 600USD and shipping cost is around 50USD) using the USPS Priority Mail Service. Well, to be honest I would recommend to all of you that you better use USPS Mail Service besides the price is fair, the shipping time is also reliable. See below picture for my iPad shipped to Jakarta from San Fransisco.

It took 5 days from San Fransisco to Jakarta so I think its fair and acceptable... :-).

Feel free to comment though :).

PS: For US Priority Mail usually sent with the tracking number with "C" as the first character.

BuzzPlayer vs OPlayer Ipad Apps, which one I prefer...

The case is like this: I have video file (*.avi) with resolution 1280x720 with the file size around 200-250 MB and I want to play it in iPad.

BuzzPlayer and OPlayer can run most of video types without having to convert to mp4 or m4v types (as itunes friendly format).

First, I played it using BuzzPlayer and try it. The result was quite flaky, the video ran not so smooth and creating bad resolution with a lot of "noise" in the picture. As if you see a broken video and not thehoo HD video.
So i will give " :( " for BuzzPlayer.

Then, I tested using OPlayer with the same video file....and voila!!! The result is significantly better then BuzzPlayer! The picture was not flaky and the video ran smoothly. Overall OPlayer is much better than the BuzzPlayer.

So far I choose OPlayer than BuzzPlayer for playing HD video with any format with size less than 500MB.

Have a try!!

Buzz Player Apps: How to transfer files manually without using iTunes Sync

Ok, yesterday I've been playing around with my iPad and installed the Buzz Player HD, personally I think this is a good Video Player for your iPad and overall it can run the *.mkv files so there you go you can see the HD Video from your iPad without have to convert the mkv file to the mp4 first.

But when I want to transfer the file from my friend PC into my iPad, i encountered a problem. I already have so much apps, photo, and video in my iPad so if I want to sync the file via my friends iTunes then I will need to sync all my current apps/photo/video into my friends PC...err if that's the one that I need to do then it will doomed me since I have so many private photos and videos that i keep it secretly hehehehehe *devils laugh*

So I come out with the solution as below, how to transfer your video file directly to Buzz Player HD apps in your iPad. Here are the steps:

1. Make sure you already jailbreak your iPad and installed the iFile from Cydia - sinfuliphone repo
2. open iFile and go to settings
3. in the settings window please set "ON" the Application Names
4. after that browse to var\mobile\Applications\BuzzPlayer 
5. please make a note the Hexadecimal of the BuzzPlayer folder names (for example : 0FBA32.....)
6. Now install the iphone folder in the PC
7. After install the iphone folder, connect your iPad into the PC using USB cable
8. and then browse your iPad using iphone folder and go to folder var\mobile\Applications
9. and select the appropriate folder (remember: it is using the hexadecimal names so you need to make sure the name in step 5 is the same with what you have select it to browse)
10. And then inside that folder you will find the Document Folder
11. There!! transfer the video file that you want to play in your iPad to that Document Folder
12. Once its done, open your Buzz Player HD and you will notice the file is already there and ready to be played :)
