iPhone apps S/D

I tried but I handnt texted you before so I was fucked basically

you get another text in while you were texting him? shit

this makes perfect sense to me, cos on my old Nokias the shortest possible way to send a new text was to open address book, find their names, and hit "text". It makes sense on the iPhone too, because this way you don't have to type in their name/find it in the book, which is faster.

I think the iPhone methodology only works for people you text constantly, though; if there's someone you only text occasionally, especially if you send out a lot of texts, it feels faster and (more importantly) more intuitive to start a new text and type the person's name.

If you could type a name or number to scroll down the conversation list or resort it into alphabetical order, most of my issues with it would go away, btw.

(and none of that really addresses the breaking of multi-recipient texts, which is a much bigger issue IMO)

tbh i didnt even know that it was possible to send multi-recipient texts where the ricipients could see that you sent it to a lot of people and could respond in kind

I put the klondike number test thing on twitter too and got a text from a twitterer = Twitterers are smarter than ilXors.

Neither did I, Max.

That might have been a use for spotlight but it doesn't search SMS. Useless.

Xp am surprised how many people use these. I just use em to broadcast info/dates/etc and expect single replies.

xxp, anyone who knows this is using texting wrongly anyway, so don't feel bad

(basically if this thing didn't have an iPod and games on it, I would have ditched it years ago)

xp: The multitext thing was one of my favorite things about my Treo; I know my mom's and brother's phones support it (and my mom's phone is OOOOOOLD) because of a 3-way conversation between us where all of their responses went to everyone and mine only went to whomever I was directly responding to.

i got a reply from nick. but while typing my text i discovered there's no caps lock! you have to hit shift for every letter! FUCK APPLE!

double-tap the shift

Haha, I nearly made a joke about the shift thing (I know about the caps lock).

What I want now is a ctrl-f function for text docs and web pages.

seriously, if it wasn't actually an iphone i would have ditched mine too and gotten an actual iphone

so wait dan what happens on their end? it just says, "text message from dan that is going to you and your mom"

^^^^ iCab does this for web pages, and has an a+++ scroller for long ones

Scik, for Find In Page using Safari go here (no hacking required) - http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/complete-tutorial-video-extend-functionality-your-iphone-web-browser

It lists all the recipients and, IIRC, you can choose to respond to the sender or to respond to everyone.

(so yes, it does treat the messaging like email, although probably the better way to look at it is a wholly integrated IM/chat room setup)

now im worried that "personal" texts i sent to tons of people did not look "personal" on their end

"thinkin about you"

SENDING 1/118

"god i love yr tits"

SENDING 1/118

"my fingers still smell of yr clunge"

SENDING 1/118

That was a line, wasn't it?

And I trotted over it.

i love that i started this argument

anyway NEW QUESTION, how come a bunch of the apps i downloaded don't work, they just drop back to the home screen after 2 secs? Shazam, Stanza, NetNewsWire, Urbanspoon...

u have to save the apps in a draft folder

What os + have you reinstalled them?

The way to find out what's crashing them is to read the console log and crash reports. You can do this from XCode (hook the phone up, go to Organiser from window menu, choose Console tab) but this might need a developer certificate sry

"version", i assume it means os, 3.1.2. yeah guess i'll try reinstalling although damn annoying it's happening on so many. including tubemap, wikipedia...

misread that as "tubmap"

Something's really fucked there, Ledge. Backup and restore, wld be next step

this thread!

Does Tubmap show you the gps location of that Japanese girl in the bath?

also lets you know which direction from due north the effluvia is being expelled towards

This is maybe not the best place for this question, but: does anyone with an iPod Touch know the simplest way to be able to use the volume buttons as media controls (forward and back) while it's in lock mode, in your pocket? (It's insane that this isn't just built in -- that all relevant buttons are only on the crappy earbuds -- but everything I'm reading suggests it's possible, somehow, somewhere.)

the apple in-ears are nice and have the same inline control (they are expensive though)

Ha: on every forum I turn up, people say things along those lines. Here's the thing: I do not want to use earbuds or inline controls. I want to use the perfectly good cans I already use, and I want to be able to advance to the next song without pulling the thing out of my pocket and looking at the screen. I know this is possible somehow. (And if it's really not that's just demented.)

tape the earbuds to your cans

How much have you spent on apps?

http://wetfish.de/software/app-store-expense-monitor/

Takes the current price of all your apps, which will be a bit off since I use BargainBin to get a lot of them on sale. Regardless, it says I've spent $366.86.

!!!!!!

$77.89

$0.

I'm really cheap.

A fair number of mine were purchased on sale/introductory prices of $0.99, but in total value now: $329.16
