iPhone not charging? Read this! | Willy Dobbe

Broken iPhone (by Jeffery Simpson)

The other day I used all the power of my iPhone and wanted to charge the iPhone in its doc. When I came back a couple of hours later, I noticed that the phone was not charging! In fact, I was unable to turn in on in any way! And yes, all cables were connected in the right way. But the iPhone became a brick. I was unable to start the phone by pressing the upper power button, home and also the well know "two finger salute" (pressing power and home for 10 seconds). The phone didn't react on anything. Even when connected to my macbook, nothing happend My Mac didn't see the iPhone and the iPhone still was not booting or even displaying anything on the screen.

Now I cant imagine anymore being without an iPhone so I was already driving in my head towards Belgium were you can buy simlock free phones. Yes my iPhone is jailbroken, iPhones want to be free ! Smiling

After some googleing I found an answer that was odd but worked! In case your iPhone seems to be bricked and doesn't charge or react on anything perform the following voodoo:

  1. switch the mute switch 4 times (up, down, up down)
  2. now press home and power for 6-10 seconds

And see your iPhone come back from a perma sleep. It worked for me, do not through your iPhone away when this happens to you!

Wow! This worked! :-)
My iPhone is now BACK!!!!!!

Decision may be any day now

Help stem the flood of Corporate Personhood!

Begin forwarded message:

From: Public Citizen <action@citizen.org>
Date: November 13, 2009 11:01:06 AM PST
Subject: Decision may be any day now

Dear Keith,

Any day now, the Supreme Court will issue its decision in a case that could unleash a flood of corporate money into our political system.

A corporate titan driving a giant steamroller that is about to crush the U.S. Capitol building, showing corporate influence in elections.
Don't Get Rolled!
Haven't heard much lately about the Citizens United case? That doesn't mean nothing is happening. In fact, a lot is going on behind the scenes at the Supreme Court:

1.) The justices likely decided how to rule within a day or two of the September argument and are now writing it up;
2.) Justices frequently argue with each other through their draft opinions, finalizing them only when someone lets someone else have the last word;
3.) The justices are probably hurrying to get the decision out in time before the 2010 congressional campaign season gets under way.

Public Citizen attorney Scott Nelson, who represents former and current lawmakers in the case, tells more here.

Right now, there are three things you can do if you think more corporate influence in our politics and policy-making is a bad idea:

1.) Sign the petition and pledge to protest.
2.) Check out our blog posts on CitizenVox.org to get the latest updates and join the discussion in the comments section.
3.) Spread the word: Tell your friends about the Don't Get Rolled campaign.

The court could overturn a century of modest limits on corporate influence in our elections. Corporations already have far too much leverage over lawmakers -- a large contributing factor to the lack of oversight of Wall Street that resulted in our current economic crisis. But it could get much, much worse.

Help Public Citizen fight back -- go to www.DontGetRolled.org and tell a friend today!

Thank you for all you do!

May or may not be going to U2 in June...

Woke up this morning with my exclusive U2 Fan Club personal presale access code hot in my hands... no internet. Work for a half hour to get router reset, finally get onto Ticketmaster site, browse for best tickets, enter credit card, hit Submit... tells me "Please enter a gift card number and click the Apply button..." ...There IS no "Apply" button! So I hit "Redeem Gift Card" button, tells me "To redeem a gift card please click the Apply button..." This is proving to be more challenging than I thought...

I was lost between the midnight and the dawning
In a place of no consequence or company

I must really want to go to this concert. Cancelling today's chiropractic appt. On hold with Ticketmaster now for a half hour...
