Milestone BT Transfer to PC not Working

Milestone / Android BT Transfer File to PC not Working

After updating my Android to the latest 2.1 SW, somehow I could no longer transfer files from my Milestone / Droid to my PC and laptop. I CAN connect to my Laptop, but when I try to transfer file it fails. It seems that somehow Google / Motorola dis-abled this.

I started asking asking around, but most of my friends somehow just prefer using the cable or SD card to transfer.

Anyway, after some googling, it seems the best option I found and WORKED was Bluetooth File Transfer. Yes that is the name of the App itself. The

After installing it, it now works well. When you select a picture (or file) to transfer, you still get the default BT transfer with an additional option to to send via BlueTooth (Different icon).

This app Bluetooth File Transfer is available from the Android Market. All the best in transfering files from your Android Droid to your other phones and PC.

ps- I read also that it might not work on 2.2. Anyway for now, I'm a happy fellow again.

TM Call Number - besides the 100

Few weeks back, my friend asked me how to call TM for help / report problems / lapor kerosakan? Well our typical answer will be dial 100 from your house phone. But then, what happens when your house phone is the one with the problem. The line is dead! So naturally we'd use our mobile to call. But, dialing 100 thru our mobiles here, doesn't really get you to Telekom Malaysia's Helpline / Hotline does it? Going back to the story, I told my friend, "Hmm, sorry no idea".



Guess what? Just a week later, my house phone line broke down. So, same question arises. How do I contact TM about my 'kerosakan'? Well, what I did is call my parents and ask them to help call TM from their landline to make a report of the issue.

Well, story of the day is, if you have a landline (which probably you have if you are using Streamyx), is to save this number :

TM - Contact Centre
03 - 2241 1290 (can be used calling from mobile and overseas)

Come to think of it, doesn't TM have significant control on the numerical values of a phone number, wouldn't it have been 'cooler' and easier if they came up with a number like 03 - 22 100 100 or something?

ps - I remember they having a 1800 or 1300 number but not sure what's the number. Anyone any idea?

Is iGoogle Smokin' Somethin?

iGoogle

I tried out iGoogle, which is like a My Yahoo. Interestingly, there's still some bugs to work on.

I set-up to see the weather for my hometown, which is in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia. It was encouraging to see Georgetown, Malaysia appear on the list. But somehow, I recall we stay in the tropical equatorial whether, where mostly it's hot and humid. Yes, H&H. I was surprised to see the weather forecast. What's happening?


It seems Google put another countries town named Georgetown under Malaysia instead of the correct Georgetown for Penang, Malaysia.

Look closely at the 'observed at' at the above picture.
