Galaxi fit troubleshooting - twlauncher

Saya pakai Samsung Galaxi fit.
Tiba2 tadi malem pas mau setting alarm, saya baru ngeh kenapa tiba2 home screen awal saya bisa ada 9 page?
Pas mau saya edit, tiba2 keluar pesan :

The application Samsung Home (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again 

Nah lo? kenapa nih? Perasaan, pemakaian normal. Cuma buat sms doang. Hm.. kemaren sempet sih dipegang temen kantor saya yang baru banget punya samsung galaxi mini. Masih probation dengan HPnya. Perkiraan saya, mungkin dia ada pencet apa gitu sehingga home screen saya sampai 9 page.
Padahal biasanya cuma ada 4 page.

Akhirnya saya browsing2 di internet tentang problem ini. Kebanyakan nyuruh untuk reset ke factory setting. Duh... engga deh... saya paling males retrieve data2, walaupun data saya cuma phonebook yang bejibun itu.
Pas jam istirahat, saya terus baca2in jawaban2 di forum ini.

Dan ternyata berhasil dengan cara ini :
Uninstall semua aplikasi yang ga diperlukan, hilangkan juga semua shortcut2 di home screen. Tenang aja, nanti bisa balik lagi kok.
Setelah itu :

in order to fix the "Force Close" problem with Samsung Home. Go to Settings --> Applications --> Manage Application --> All --> Samsung Home. And push the Clear Data button under "Storage". This will clear all your settings but it will fix the problem.

Akan ada alert kalo data kita akan hilang.Ya saya pede ajah. Tapi setelah melakukan langkah tersebut, ternyata phonebook saya baik2 aja tuh (entah apa karena sebelumnya sudah saya export juga ke SD card ya?!), sms2 saya juga baik2 aja dan yang terpenting HP saya sembuh seperti sediakala. Alhamdulillah...
Senangnya hatiku...

Tak Tik Foto

Quinie is back... hohoho *emang darimanah?*

Okay... hari Selasa tgl 7 juli kemaren, sayah dapet kiriman buku GRATIS!!!
Begini ceritanya, beberapa hari sebelumnya, sayah dapet message FB dari Angel, si penulis buku untuk mereview buku ini kemudian posting di blog primary sayah.

Hm... kalo review buku, sayah posting di sini, secara blog primary itu cuma untuk ngeember..xixixi. Beliau sih setuju2 ajah dan sampailah buku itu di tangan sayah. Makasih ya Angel atas bukunya :)

Taktik Foto

Panduan Mengolah Foto Online.
Tidak perlu install apapun, cukup 1 klik, langsung publish di facebook

Maksud beliau yang udah malang melintang di dunia desain adalah menginformasikan beberapa web yang menyediakan online photo editing & memberikan beberapa panduan/contoh2 cara pemakaiannya.
Yang berarti juga, ga perlu belajar photoshop dan software2 photo lainnya yang rada ngejlimet untuk bisa nambah2in efek di poto2 yang mau kita pajang di blog, pesbuk or other socialnetwork.
Hihih... secara, untuk photoshop, sayah cuma bisa resize, adding text doang :D. Kalo yang lainnya langsung contact genial. Xixixixi.

Okay, ada beberapa sites yang beliau bahas dalam buku ini. Yaitu picnik, Lunapic, fotoflexer, loonapix, magmypic & logo creator (khusus untuk bikin logo).

Barusan sayah mencoba membuka semua sites2 di atas, tapiii ga semuanya bisa sayah coba2.

Picnik luama banget loadingnya, fotoflexer kayanya udah raib entah kemana, magmypic juga tak bisa diakses, sedangkan logo creator bikin sayah bingung.
Jadi, langkah2 yang dijelaskan Angel di bukunya untuk site2 di atas ya ga bisa sayah aplikasi kan :((.

Yang bisa sayah akses cuma Lunapic & Loonapix doang.
Btw, lunapic itu juga rada lama loading poto ketika kita upload poto dari diskdrive kita, jadi ya sayah udah bete2 ajah nunggunya. Alhasil sayah cuma sempet narsis dan bikin 3 poto sayah di dipajang dalam 1 cube. Huahahaha... jangan heryan kalo sayah narsis :D.
Tapi sayangnya ga bisa diupload kemarih... hiks.

Yang rada cepet & seru adalah loonapix. Hm.. inti dari site ini adalah naro poto kita dengan background yang bermacam2, atau dikasi frame, atau dibentuk jadi trim dengan shape seperti clover, heart dsb. Tapi secara backgroud & framenya adalah template, maka ya rada pasaran gitcu deh. Dan sayah sempet bereksperimen dan tradaaaaa... jadilah seperti ini :D

Well, ga perlu bisa software2 yang ngejlimet itu kok kalo mo publish poto2 di blog atau fb. Site2 di atas, bolehlah dicoba. Or kalo masih kurang jelas, dibuku ini dijelaskan step2nya untuk edit poto dengan banyak efek :D.

National Monument (MONAS)

Few days ago, I visited Monas, The National Monument of Indonesia.
It's on Central Jakarta, near Gambir train station.

The entrance gate is underground and it's marked with TUGU MONUMENT NASIONAL. You might find some souvenirs to be bought, such as T-shirt, Pen, Key holder. Go downstairs, pass the marble tunnel then you'll find the ticket box on the end of the tunnel.
The marble tunnel is wide and it's Air Conditioned :)

There're so many photographers offering their service to capture you with the good Monas background, if only you didn't bring your camera. If I'm not mistaken, it costs Rp. 20,000,-/shot and you can wait the ready-picture in few minutes (kinda polaroid).
I was courius about their technic to shot the good angle, since i've tried and the pics weren't so good. And i was thinking maybe their photo paper was already stamped with Monas background and they just capture the people :D.
Tips : You can capture the photo using digital camera as me, with Monas background and you're in good-clear position. Better you do this before you enter the Monas area or when you're leaving. I was taking the angle from the entrance gate from Pertamina office side. I was standing near the photographer (my friend) and the background was Monas in a full. I love the pic :)

It's opened everyday include the holiday & weekend and closed on the last Monday for each month.
The tickets is Rp. 7,750,-/person for adult (but it's rounded to be Rp. 8,000,-) and Rp.3,750,-/person for students & children (but it's rounded to be Rp. 4,000,-).
It's already included insurance.

On the base of the Monument, there's Museum of Indonesia National History.
There're alot of 3D miniatures of Indonesia Historical & Moments on around its wall.
The Miniatures are completed with explanation text in Bahasa & English.
Tips : The lighting is less, therefore you might use special mode on your camera if you want to capture on it. I'm using the high sensitivity mode without flash on my digital pocket camera.

Then if you want to go to the top of Monas, you should queue to the lift.
Better you prepare yourselves for it, since you might queue for 2 hours. There's only 1 lift and only for 11 persons (included the lift operator).
Tips : Prepare yourselves to queue with removeable chair, mat, snack, good friends to chat, games and other things otherwise you'll be exhausted to stand queuing.
I wondered if there's wifi, I would bring my notebook and connect to internet while waiting for my turn. But, unfortunately, the wifi is not available :(.

On the top of Monas, the area is not so wide. There're binocular telescopes on each corner and they will be worked once we insert the coin. Each coin costs Rp. 2,000,- for 5 minutes usage.
After inserting the coin, you'll be able to use the telescope to see the buildings/sites/places around monas. But I could not see my dorm on Menteng nor my office on Cikini :(

Once you wish to go down, you'll queue again... xixixi... I called it as queuing tour :D.
The lift will take you down to the 2nd floor (not on the same floor as you go up) and go downstairs manually. I was out of Monas area using the same tunnel.

Also I rent a horse carriage to go around with route to istana Negara, Istiqlal Mosque and back to Monas [It's not a whole circle :(]. It costs Rp. 20,000,-/horse carriage and takes 15 minutes.
Tips : Choose the small rubber tyre horse carriage, it's more comfortable.

Hope my info is useful. Have a nice visit to Monas :)
Wait for my next visit review... xixxixi
