Activating 3G of Globe for Galaxy Tab

 
Maybe some globe users can't use the 3G services here in Philippines probably because they don't have correct Mobile Network Settings.

To activate 3G of globe in Galaxy Tab 7", here are the following steps:
1. Go to main screen.
2. Click the word "Applications" - that is in the lower middle of the screen.
3. Look for the "Settings" application and click it.
4. Click the "Wireless and Network" - you can easily see it.
5. Click the "Mobile Networks".
6. Click "Access Point Names".
7. Click the first button at the bottom.
8. Choose "New APN" in order to edit the access point.  You should change the following with the correct input:
Name -> myGlobe Internet
APN -> http.globe.com.ph
Proxy, Port, User name, Password, Server, MMSC, MMS proxy, MMS port -> not set - meaning you don't have to add anything to it.
MCC -> 515
MNC -> 02
Authentication Type -> None
APN type -> internet
9. Save the changes by click the first button at the bottom.
10. Go back to Mobile network settings.
11. Check the "Use packet data" - You should see a symbol of 3G at the upper right that blinks.

Make sure you deactivated your roaming so that you can enjoy your internet.

Android 4.0.4 ~ Ice Cream Sandwich

From Android 4.0.3, I now have 4.0.4 for my galaxy note. I'm glad Samsung considers galaxy note users for software upgrade. I had a hard time upgrading my phone. It's always error. Probably because our internet is unstable or I used my phone while upgrading. I tried more than 10 times. I tried both wi-fi and Samsung Skies. Also, I changed my sim card which I used for 4.0.3 upgrade. It was only successful after I changed my sim and I used Samsung Skies for the upgrade. I received a notification for upgrade last Tuesday morning, but we didn't have electricity that time due to heavy rains.

Pop Up Play of the video while texting/doing other apps

There are two major features for Android 4.0.4. First one is the Pop Up Play. It can be founded on the Galaxy S III. Pop Up Play is so cool. Second is the signature unlock. It will allow users to unlock their galaxy note using signatures via S-Pen Stylus.

Other changes:

The upgrade also fixed the bug for Text-To-Speech Output for message. It didn't work properly when I had Android 4.0.3. It is good thing to know who is the sender of the message immediately without looking your phone because you will know whether the message you received is very important or other way around.

Thank You

Today is not my birthday, but I would like to thank everyone who sent greetings in any way and any time they could.  Before my birthday, I and my close friends ate in UST McDo. Too bad, we didn't have any picture of it. I have friends who surprised me about the gift that has no sender. They just told me at midnight that she is the one who gave it. Next day, I, Julia and stabbers met in SM Manila to watch movie "Magic Mike" and eat dinner at "BonChon". That's my first time to eat there and the food is yummy.

Korean Air & Seoul Airport

Seoul/Incheon Airport

I traveled via Korean Air for four times. Twice when I went to USA, and twice again when I returned here in Philippines. There is no direct flight from Philippines to USA via Korean Air. That's why I had to stay for few hours in Incheon airport while waiting for my next flight. I spent my free time drinking Starbucks, eating in Korean resto, strolling and buying Korean goodies. You can also take a shower or rent a room to take a nap while you are in the airport. You don't have to pay won (Korean currency) just to buy food/drinks or stuffs as long as you have US dollars, but they will give won as your change.

Outside the airport; before take-off

I love the meals of Korean Air. They are delicious and plenty. They offer pasta, bibimbap, chicken, beef, ice cream, and side dishes such as fruits. They also offer tea or coffee. They have soda  and juices, too. Every time that I am done, I am really full and I can't eat anymore the desserts. From Philippines to Korea, there is one meal (breakfast) and snacks. It's breakfast because you will arrive in Korea around 4am. The travel takes four hours. The time in Korea is advance of one hour here in Philippines. That's why you have to check their time because you might miss your flight. From Korea to USA (Virginia), there are two meals (lunch and dinner) and of course, snacks. The travel takes 14 hours. Yeah, it's long and my legs were tired sitting. While you are in the plane, you can watch movies, listen from the music, or play games. During my time, I watched "Breaking Dawn Part 1" and "Blind". "Blind" is a Korean movie. About the flight attendants, they are pretty and tall. They are always smiling.

It is not easy to buy plane tickets here in Philippines because you need a travel agency to book and pay for it. If you live in USA, you can pay online. If you will travel via Korean Air, I recommend you to avail "Sky Pass". It's free and you can earn and redeem miles for your next travel. You can enroll online. Even though booking is difficult, the travel experience is great and fun.
