March 3rd, 2012Andy’s iPad Upgrade from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 5.0.1 – Restored! – Only took 6 hours!
March 1st, 2012
Finally, the upgrade and restore has completed, I started the upgrade at 23:00, and it finished at 5.00am. 6 Hours to complete an iOS 5.0.1 upgrade, and I also upgraded and moved to iCLOUD as well.
not checked my iPad fully yet, but I knew something would be weird….
The upgrade has reduced the overall capacity by approx 1GB, compared to iOS 4.3.3, and now I have something strange going on because it thinks it’s Over Capacity by 30.1GB.

Andy’s iPad Upgrade from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 5.0.1 – is this any good?
March 1st, 2012Because of this:-
The time has come to upgrade my iPad to iOS 5.0.1, I’m not happy about this, I would much rather stay on iOS 4.3.3 Jailbroken, but in June 2012, Apple are migrating from Apple MobileMe to iCLOUD, and I will no longer be able to use the features of Mobile Me, with my iPad.
I’ve read many reports that the iOS 5.0.1 upgrade makes the iPAD1 slower, so I’ve saved my SHSH blobs, so I can rollback to 4.3.3, if it’s a pile of doodoo! To save my SHSH blobs I use TinyUmbrella for Windows, download here
So Goodbye iPad iOS 4.3.3…………….
Okay, I’ve download the 716.6MB Upgrade and Hit Update
Waiting…………………..

Andy goes for a long walk, and finds his Local Mobile Phone Masts!
February 24th, 2012Never a boring day, today I went searching for my nearest mobile phone masts. The only trouble was I could see them, but had a few difficulties, in finding the access road leading to the actual base transmitter mast sites. I left my car, and went walking up a hill, across fields, and found the base transmitter mast sites, took some photographs below of the sites, and then walked back down the access road from the site, only to find, it was miles from where I left my car. A lovely warm day, and fantastic views, across the Vale of York.
The O2 and T-Mobile transmitter sites, are just inside the Kilnwick Percy Golf Course, as you can see in the photographs, graffiti artists, have already “tagged” the site, it wasn’t me!
In one of the pictures below, I highlight with a red circle, where I live in the distance.
I found evidence of an O2 and T-Mobile transmitter mast, and a Vodafone transmitter but could not see any visible documentation, for mobile company 3. (Three). I suspect one of the antenna on the transmitter mast must belong to 3 (Three).
The reason for my visit, was to check, if I could “beam” a 2.4GHz WiFi signal back to my house, to check line of sight. I could, so I have clear line of sight to errect a new 16 dbi Yagi antenna, to improve my 3G UMTS/HSPDA signal, and improve and hopefully get a better download speed using wireless technology.
