What is All the 4G Hype About? A “trini” Perspective

4g

So, I guess if you live in Trinidad, by now you’d realize that both the carriers (the people who offer you mobile services) are offering a service known as 4G. Now first off I’m not going to say I’m a network genius and know exactly what I’m talking about but I’m tired of people asking the same thing over and over. So here we go. In case you didn’t know, all of this info can be easily read from online and googling but, I’d save you some time. Yes, I may use wikipedia as a source, problem?

So What is 4G?

Unlocking the Digicel Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100 for Trinidad and Tobago with a Bonus

Hello all,

I was given a Samsung Galaxy S II (i9100) to unlock so that it would work on the bmobile network. As you may know, bmobile started of with a huge sale/promotion which had the i9100 for quite a reduced price. Turns out they were selling the i9100g as the i9100 to some people. Digicel also sold the i9100 at a cheaper price and it also came with a trial of 4G for a month and even cheaper if you bought it with Postpaid Smart Plans.
So this is how to unlock the said device (i9100 NOT the i9100g) which is from Digicel. (thanks fallingpixel.com for the image!)

Note, the information posted here is related to the said device and the time of posting of this guide. Links may be broken and information can become outdated. Also, this may void your warranty and you can (though rarely) brick your device. I will update as new information comes to me but you are warned!

Installing a Kingwin 2.5″ Bracket in an Antec 900

If you bought an SSD recently and it was not an upgrade kit option with the SATA Cable and Bracket to mount in your desktop space, you would notice that you’d need a bracket to do so.

I found a cheap one on amazon, a Kingwin branded 2.5″ to 3.5″ drive bracket/mount adapter for $5.99 with prime. But to mount it in an Antec 900, it will take some work. Here is how…

How to Clean a Zalman CNPS-9700LED

Do you have a Zalman cooler? Don’t you ever find it difficult to clean?

20120610-190342.jpg

Every time I had to clean my PC this was the only thing that had remnants of dust when I claimed I finished cleaning my PC as I used to simply use compressed air or even a tooth brush. These never worked.

AT&T Unlocks iPhones.. What it means for Trinidadians and anyone who has a locked AT&T iPhone?

As you may remember AT&T sells its iPhone locked until recently and hopefully you saw in the news that they have now started unlocking these older contract based or off contract non factory unlocked iPhones.

So what does that mean for us Trinidadians or even anyone outside of the US with a locked AT&T iPhone?

Netflix in Trinidad and Tobago is not so Bad

As you may know Netflix came to the shores of Trinidad and Tobago last year. Netflix in case you don’t know is an online streaming service that you pay a monthly subscription for and they provide you with various shows and movies that you will normally see on Cable, Television and the likes on demand. Here are my views on it thus far.

Cool New Activator Settings

As you know iOS 5 brought some new goodies to us and one was twitter integration, system wide. But there was no actual way to send a new tweet without an attachment. There is tweet in YouTube, Safari and Photos no blatant easy “new” tweet method… Until this!
