You might also know that natively Safari cannot open AVI or any other file format except QuickTime and MP4 files. If you navigate to your Google Docs account via Safari and click on a video file in MP4/Apple native format it will begin to stream!!!
Google limits the amount of free space for your Google Docs to 1GB. This might not be a lot. What I have done, is that I signed up for extra storage.
Shattered iPhone 4 screen
So… its been a while since I posted anything on my blog ( I apologize about that) but here is something. I broke my iPhone 4’s screen!
I dropped it on the concrete and the screen simply shattered. This happened about 5 days ago and I’m still debating if I want to get it fixed professionally or if I would want to do it myself.
Pro repair will cost anywhere between $150-$199 and fixing it by myself would cost about $68 or so but there is always a huge risk of messing the phone up…
Another solution that I’ve been giving some thought recently is getting a new phone. For the last couple of months I’ve been kind of obsessed with the Samsung Galaxy S II. It is not out in US as of yet but it is available in Europe. Samsung is actually going to announce it tonight (8/30/11) so I can’t wait to see how much it is going to cost. I am not available for an upgrade until next year so I would have to buy the device at full price :(
AT&T Detected my unauthorized tethering
So after little over a year of Tethering on my phone I finally received a text message from AT&T regarding the unauthorized tethering.
For over a year I’ve been using TetherMe tweak from Cydia which allows you to use native tethering on your iPhone 3G and iPhone 4 without paying additional fees.
I think the reason why they found out was my very high data usage in the last two months (about 5GB or more ) a month compared to my regular data usage of about 4GB.
From what I’ve seen online, this txt msg is followed by an email telling you about different plan options for tethering (fucking expensive!!!!) and how your unlimited data plan (which I have) will be replaced with a 4GB tethering plan or something like that. I got the txt from AT&T yesterday but I still haven’t received the email…at least not yet.
I’ll post updates as stuff happens.
