Setup Push Hotmail on your iPhone [Guide]
Microsoft has finally announced that starting today Hotmail will support push email, calendar and contacts with Exchange ActiveSync (EAS).
Hotmail users will be able to sync their email, calendar, and contacts to their iPhone using Exchange ActiveSync. So any changes made on the iPhone will be reflected on the web interface, and vice versa.
Dick Craddock from Windows Live Blog explained this briefly :
Hotmail is making it easier for you to stay up-to-date and be productive on your phone. Starting today, you can get your email, calendar, and contacts pushed automatically to your phone using Exchange ActiveSync (EAS). EAS keeps everything in sync between your phone and Hotmail, so whatever you do on your phone, like delete an email, add an appointment, or update one of your contacts with a new number, will also be reflected on the web, and vice-versa. If you use an email client on your PC that already syncs with Hotmail, like Outlook with the Outlook Connector or Windows Live Mail, what you do on your phone will show up there as well, delivering a seamless experience for managing your stuff between your PC email client, your browser, and your phone.
These are instructions on how to setup push Hotmail using ActiveSync on your iPhone or iPod touch. After doing this you will automatically be notified when a new email arrives rather then waiting for a scheduled check.
Step one :
Tap to open Settings from your iPhone springboard.
Step two :
Tap to select Mail,Contacts,Calendars from the Settings menu.
Step three :
Tap Add Account.
Step four :
Select Microsoft Exchange from the list of account types.
Step five :
Enter your full hotmail email address for the Email and Username fields then fill in your password. Tap the Next button at the top right of the screen to continue.
Step six :
Input m.hotmail.com as the server address and tap the Next button.
Step seven :
Use the switches to select which items you would like to sync and tap the Save button.
That’s it, you’re all set for push email, calendar and contacts for your Hotmail account. As always, do let us know how it goes in the comments section below.

Read MoreDowngrade iPhone 4, 3GS from 4.0.2 to 4.0.1 : SHSH Blobs Not Required
After the 4.0.1 jailbreak release, Apple pushed out iOS 4.0.2 to patch the exploit which helped iOS 4.0.1 jailbreak. Dev-Team announced not to update to the latest firmware release. For some reason, some people still got updated one way or the other and were stuck with no jailbreak & unlock.
Well it ends here. The folks at PwnMyI posted a guide on how to downgrade your iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS (new bootrom) from iOS 4.0.2 to 4.0.1 without having SHSH blobs saved for iOS 4.0.1. This will of course allow you to jailbreak and unlock your new iPhone with JailbreakMe, and patch it with PDF Patch so that you are safe from PDF vulnerability in iOS 4.0.1.
Today I found something that the iPhone Devs told me “impossible”. I also spoke with iH8Snow, telling me that this sounds impossible. He also mentioned to me and one of my beta testers that this is possible if you allowed Cydia to store your SHSH/Blobs since Cydia will cache your firmware along the way.
Well, I’m pretty sure I proved them wrong.
So the story is that I have possession of clean (never before jailbroken) iDevices, and I managed to downgrade one of them and upgrade one of them to iOS 4.0.
The step by step instructions for downgrading new iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS without having SHSH blobs saved are posted below. Follow them at your own risk. I am not responsible for any loss of data, or malfunction of your iPhone.
Step 1: Download iOS 4.0.1 ipsw.
Step 2: Extract it with WinRAR or WinZip to a folder on the desktop. You may need to rename the firmware file from .ipsw to .zip to do this.
Step 3: Open the buildmanifest.plist with the Notepad if you are on Windows, or TextWrangler if you are on Mac.
Search and replace all – 8A306 with 8A400. Save. Repeat the same with the file restore.plist.
Step 4: Download iOS 4.0.2 ipsw and open this with WinRAR or WinZip.
Note: Do not extract it. Just open it and leave it open. You must use this exact file and not create a new one. If you have to create a new one for reasons like you are on OS X, then use zip command line not explorer or finder to make the zip. I will assume you are using the original file opened in WinRAR for the rest of this guide.
Step 5: Take all the files from iOS 4.0.1and drag them over to the iOS 4.0.2 zip archive that you have open.
Step 6: Delete all the .dmg files that have 002 at the end, leaving only the 001 files left.
Step 7: Save the archive, and rename it back to .ipsw if you changed the name to get WinRAR/WinZip to open it.
Step 9: Put the device in DFU by following the steps below:
- Connect your iPhone to your computer.
- Turn iPhone off.
- Start iTunes.
- Hold Power and Home buttons together for 10 seconds or so.
- Release Power button but keep holding the Home button until your computer recognizes a new USB device.
- iTunes will now recognize your iPhone.
Note: Your iPhone screen at this time should be blank (black in color), if not, then you are most likely in Recovery Mode, not DFU mode.
Step 10: Now simply open iTunes and restore the firmware you changed.
This is it, you should now be able to jailbreak and unlock your device on iOS 4.0.1 with JailbreakMe.

How To: T-Mobile iOS4 MMS Fix
Many people are having some issues with iOS4 and getting the T-Mobile USA MMS to work. This is something that I did on my own phone and worked for me. I hope it works for you also.
First thing, you are going to need to add a new repo to Cydia. Add http://cydia.pushfix.info, this is the repo that has the needed fix for T-Mobile MMS.
To add this repo to Cydia, get on Cydia go to Manage, tap on Sources, tap Edit, tap Add. Type in cydia.pushfix.info. Allow Cydia to reload the sources.
Go to Sources and find PushFix.info, scroll down and you should find ” T-Mobile US MMS Fix for iOS4” install that. Once you have installed the fix, you are now going to go back to the iPhone settings.
Under Settings to go General>Network>Cellular Data Network. You may need to fill-in the “APN” for MMS. If its blank add wap.voicestream.com
Everything else should already be filled in. Close everything out. Restart your iPhone and Test out your MMS.
