鎖 – Suo3 – Lock
The number of ways that Verizon tries to lock me out of using my own phone is amazing. If I try to email an MP3 to myself on the phone, it allows me, but resamples it somewhere in their mailservers down to like 10 bits per second. BUT, the trick I learned from the little kids is: rename the file to .mid! Then the Verizon mail servers let it go through unscathed, because they think it’s just a MIDI file… but the phone still realizes it is actually an MP3 and you end up with full quality! (however for some stupid reason in this case the ringtone doesn’t repeat. also in niether case is the MP3 available in the “tunes” player.)
Another one: the phone has built in GPS. If you enable it, it figures out exactly where you are every time you make a call. It tells this information to the phone company. But it doesn’t tell ME! The only way to find out that information is to go into this debug menu and enter a secret code (the kind of code an idiot would have on his luggage: 00000) and do all this strange stuff.
I wonder if any of these problems would be avoided if I knew how to write code in BREW? Or is that somehow going to be crippled too?
