• short battery life
• iphone becomes very warm
• it takes ages to charge the battery

The problem is the new (or changed) “Push” Mail setting. After switching this service off, restarting the iphone the problem was fixed. I hope this might be useful to someone having the same problem, drop a line if this fix worked for you as well.

Here is how I did it, I hope it might help someone of you:

1. You need to get the following software:
   • Latest Version of Nokia PC Suite
   • Nemsis Service Suite
   • Nokia Software Updater
2. Product code of Nokia E66 (look for it on the web, if you are located in Europe the following is fine for you): 0552844
3. Install Nokia PC Suite
4. Install Nemsis Service Suite, choose “Virtual USB Device” during setup
5. Connect your mobile phone to the pc using the original Nokia cable, start Nemsis Service Suite and click in the top right corner on “Scan”
   
6. Details for your phone will be displayed:
   
7. Now you get to the important part. Click on “Phone Info”, then in the field “Product code” insert the code for your device (in my case 0552844as mentioned earlier):
   
   Make sure you have flagged also “Enable“, then click on “Write“
8. Now the product code is modified, so the phone is no longer branded as a Vodafone firmware model, but now it is a original, no-branded Nokia Version.
9. Now you have to start up the Nokia Update Manager.
   
10. Click on Start, you get to a second window which reminds you that you should have fully charged your mobile phone battery and that the phone memory shouldn’t be encrypted and that you should have done a backup:
    
11. Click on “Next”, then you have to confirm that you are ready to start the upgrade process (in the image below, in my case it says the the firmware is already up-to-dtae, so I’m asked if I want to reinstall the latest firmware:
    
12. Click “Reinstall”, after about 20 minutes you have a original, latest version firmware on your phone and can enjoy it.

Please remember: doing this, you might lose your warranty, so think twice before you do it. I’m not responsible for any damage which occures on your mobile phone during this operation. I’m happy to help you if you have question, just post your comment here.

P.S.: This instructione might work similar for any other Nokia mobile phone!

Before installing any app from Cydia, all apps from AppStore (Spore, BrainChall) started up with no problems, but soon after installing biteSMS, NO app from AppStore wanted to start up anymore. They just crashed 2 seconds after starting.

So, biteSMS must be the app which blocks any other app. A short look at the bitsms forum (http://forums.bitesms.com/forums) revealed that I was right: Kimcha wrote in a post about that. He also posted a solution, which didn’t work for me, but if anyone wants to have a go follow this 2 steps:

1. SSH into your iphone (using putty)
2.

plutil -c xml1 /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.SpringBoard.plist
vim /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.SpringBoard.plist

3. remove ”/var/mobile/Library/biteSMS/biteSMSsb.dylib:” from <key>DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES</key>’s <string>.
4 reboot

As I wrote already, this didn’t work for me, so I did remove biteSMS. The guys over at biteSMS promised a updated for tomorrow, monday!

Actually I have made it to get biteSMS to work!!!!
Here the steps you have to do:
1. Get Erica Saduns iphone utils here: http://ericasadun.com/ftp/EricaUtilities/EricaUtilitiesBeta-13.zip
2. Copy plutil to your iphone “usr/bin” folder using WinSCP
3. Using putty, SSH into your iphone, and chmod plutils to 755:

cd /usr/bin
chmod 755 plutil

4. Then execute

ldid -S plutil

5. Then execute

plutil -c xml1 /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.SpringBoard.plist

6. Then remove ”/var/mobile/Library/biteSMS/biteSMSsb.dylib:” from DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES’s .
7. Then reboot your iphone

However, to create a ringtone from a mp3-file, just follow this easy steps:

1. Choose your song and upload it (takes about 2-4 minutes, depends on your bandwidth)
2. Once uploaded, use the flash interface to choose the part of the song which should become your ringtone.
3. Click on “Create Ringtone” to start creating ringtone
4. Input the songs name, once done, you can download it either as a mp3 or m4r

That’s it! Easy, no?

smtp server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465
Secure Connection: SSL
Username: Userid without @yahoo.it

And this works again.

To get rid of this messages, I had to do the following:

root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# postfix check
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: /var/spool/postfix/public
postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by group postdrop: /var/spool/postfix/maildrop

SOLUTION:

root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# /etc/init.d/postfix stop
root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# killall -9 postdrop
root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# chgrp -R postdrop /var/spool/postfix/public
root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# chgrp -R postdrop /var/spool/postfix/maildrop/
root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# postfix check
root@gandalf:/var/spool/postfix# postfix reload

 Starting web server (apache2)...(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
failed!

This is what I did to fix the problem

netstat -lnp | grep '80'#output
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN     18712/apache2

In my case the output showed that apache2 was already using the port, although no sites was working and it was not even possible to stop the apache2 daemon. I ran the following to learn more

ps 18712
PID TTY      STAT   TIME COMMAND
18712 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start

I killed the apache2 process, which was blocking everything

kill 19712

and restarted apache

/etc/init.d/apache start

and everything was working fine again. Hopefully this is useful for someone..

• Akismet >> The most common spam fighter plugin. It comes already shipped with wordpress, you just have to get your API-key on wordpress.com and you’re done. This plugins works great for my sites, on some of them I get more them 200 comment spam a day, and just imagine how much time you save by turning this plugin on and not have to go to such a lot of comments to find a few good ones.
• Digg This Reloaded >> This simple plugin adds a “Digg this” button/link to the post. Easy configuration, no need to edit the theme files. This plugin has to be on my list, I’m a “digg” addicted!
• Feedburner Feed Replacement >> This plugin forwards all feed traffic to feedburner.com, where you can get a lot of statistic about your feed readers. A plugin for a statistic addicted like me.
• Google XML Sitempaps >> This plugin creates a sitempas.org compliant sitemap of your whole wordpress site. Sitemaps are supported by Google, MSN Live Search and Yahoo and one of the key factors to get traffic from search engines to your sites. This plugin is pretty straightforward to use, nearly no configuration needed, the sitemaps are generated on the fly.
• Google Analyticator >> A simple plugin which adds the needed javascript code for the google analytics statistic tracking service. Nice configuration page, you just have to copy and paste yout Analytics UID and your pages are ready to be analized.
• Installer >> This is not a very famous plugin, but I love it so much. This is a one click installer plugin for plugins and themes, sounds a bit confusing, but the usage is so straightforward that you can’t do wrong. And the best is, you can search right from your plugins page on wp-plugins.net for new plugins and install them with one click! And a great (but yet not much useful option) is the “Update plugin” option, which installs updates for your plugin if you’ve them installed using Installer. Obviously, always if the plugin author is using some syntax definition in there plugin description.
• Related Posts >> This plugin can show related posts for the post entry you’re reading. It’s using a keyword list to find related entries. It seems that the developer is not longer supporting this plugin.
• Sidebar Widgets >> If you’re using a widget enabled theme, then you definitely want this plugin. This plugin adds the “Sidebar Widgets” option under the Presentation menu where you can drag and drop your sidebar(s).
• Tags in the head >> A simple plugin to use UTW tags as meta keyword to get some more search engine friendly posts.
• the_excerpt Reloaded >> When a post does not contain an excerpt, this plugin displays the content of the post, which can be customized on the length and filtering type. You must call the function in your theme, so this plugin requires a bit of modification of your theme file.
• Tidy Up >> This plugin runs a HTML Tidy on all of your posts and comments. You need this plugin, if you want to create XHTML complaint web sites. A good administration web page, but not always that easy to use.
• Ultimate Tag Warrior >> A must have plugin. Tag your posts, create tag clouds, create links to flickr, technorati and a lot more. This plugin is so easy to use, and so much worth. You can’t run a blog without this plugin.
• WP-PostViews >> Enables you to display how many times a post had been viewed. A nice gimmick.
• WP Admin Bar 2 >> This plugin adds a small admin bar to the top of every page (you probably know it already if you have an account on wordpress.com).
• Youtube >> A sma ll plugin which adds a filter for displaying youtube videos in your posts.
• zooomr_RSS >> Well, this is the plugin I created for displaying photos from a zooomr rss feed. It is based on the flickrRSS plugin, similar option page, and if you’ve a widget enabled site you can set it up even without the need of modifying your theme files.

Well, this list is not intended to present the best wordpress plugins, but imho some of the most useful ones. If you’ve any suggestions, if you like some (other) plugins, just leave a reply here and write why you like them. I hope to hear from you
