iPhone apps S/D

I think it can happen, but the sense I'm getting is that you can only set it up after doing all kinds of modding/breaking/etc., with regard to which I trust neither myself nor directions off the web

There's no legit way to get access to the buttons from an app, and you can't detect shakes while the device is locked/sleeping, so there's no way to write something like this 3rd party, jailbreaking aside

These will let you use your own headphone and 1) control the iPod functions, and 2) use your current heaphones and its microphone to answer the phone!

There are come competing models from other manufacturers that do the same thing, so feel free to shop around. It's not quite using the buttons on the actual phone, and it's another dongle to buy, but it's a good compromise.

so my iphone had started just shutting down randomly even when it had full battery--took it in to the apple store and they were kind enough to give me a new one even tho i a) hadnt enrolled myself in the applecare i bought (i guess i assumed it was auto-enroll, which i dont think is such a weird thing to assume, and now i have to go dig up the box and manually enroll myself, which is irritating) and b) they definitely thought that i was just running too many applications (?) or something

anyway i am in the process of setting this bitch up again and for some reason it wont let me sync my mail accounts--the box in itunes to sync selected mail accounts is greyed out. none of the other boxes are. any ideas why this is?

why can't you listen to your itunes library through an iphone when you're on the same wifi network, is what I want to know

max i like how email not working on your iphone has become like your "thing"

why do you need to sync mail accounts?

that syncs the messages in the account as linked through itunes. you just need to sync the mail account preferences. i know you use gmail so it's either IMAP or gmail activesync whatever...

why can't you listen to your itunes library through an iphone when you're on the same wifi network, is what I want to know

or have your iphone push music out to airtunes and the big speakers, is what I wanna know

if you are near an airtunes setup, your computer should be there too, no?

yes cutty i know--i just thought itd be easier to sync the settings than to re-enter them manually u know

right, but what you are trying to do in itunes is sync the entirety of your mail accounts (all your messages)

don't do that

what you are trying to do, is hold me back

i'm trying to make u stronger

Is there any way to auto reload apps after a restore? I've just lost them all - and it's the second time this has happened. Yes I took a backup. Yes I had 'sync applications' checked.

If they're still in iTunes, you go to the Applications tab and tick all the individual boxes for the apps you want, then sync. It unticks them if you delete them from the phone at any point

They've all gone from itunes ;_; but i'm not sure they were ever there properly, they showed up in the fake iphone screens on the right, but not in the list on the left. do they need to be in the list? how do i get them there?

Are you buying them from the phone? You need to right-click on the phone and choose "transfer purchased items" to put them in your library. This should happen automatically if you've got all-auto syncing on, but sometimes doesn't. If you buy the apps via iTunes they're automatically copied to the library, or should be, so something wrong there.

from the phone yeah, i guess the auto transfer just ain't working. arseholes. thx!

'transfer purchases' isn't even working, man this is some bullshit.

Oh this really is too fucking much. So i reloaded half my apps, still no joy getting them into itunes. Then I notice some of them aren't working, so I delete those. Still no transfer. I do a hard reset, and bingo, the rest of my apps (except the inbuilt ones) stop working too. Including Spotify, which had just spent two hours playlist syncing, for the third time.

This cld be an auth problem. Sign out from the store on both the phone and PC; then sign in on PC and sync

i think zing touch broke my iphone :(

guys my 3G apparently has just stopped working??

^^^

cannot restore ipod, error 1611

err iphone

zing

sometimes that happens to me and I just turn it off/on in the network settings?

no

Don't know much about this stuff, Cutty, but I think 1611 is in some way related to a buggered battery ... maybe try charging it up from the mains first, then connecting it to your computer? Absolutely no guarantee this will work, though :/

i just restored network settings and it's cool

This cld be an auth problem. Sign out from the store on both the phone and PC; then sign in on PC and sync

yeah, my pc wasn't authorised. thanks itunes for not giving me any kind of a clue to the problem! still i, r fool for not realising you could buy apps through itunes in the first place.

I am trying out 'Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock' which claims to track your sleeping cycles and wake you up at the most grog-free time.

just got that one, but the whole sleeping-with-my-iphone-under-pillow is making me nervous

I need that! I think I have things completely topsy turvy at the moment. Get woken by my upstairs neighbour dropping stuff on the floor at 6 am, feel wide awake. Take an hour to get back to sleep. Alarm goes off at 8 and I spend another hour trying to wake up again.

It monitors your movement using the accelerometer! Colour me sceptical, but for 59p it's worth a try.

my iphone updated its carrier settings and now I have tethering! (NB I am not in the US) maybe I'll update my plan to get unlimited data.

have been addicted to using sleep cycle - it's awesome to wake up and then look at the graph showing how you slept the previous night

i think i will have to try this "sleep cycle" business

It really works! Only thing is, it can wake me up 30 minutes early, and then I think it's way too early to get up, so just go back to sleep

That's cool, but I rarely sleep in the same place in one night. I move around all night, couch, bed, kitchen table, where ever.

I still don't get what yr supposed to do with yr phone? Hide under the pillow? Doesn't it fall off?

put it next to the pillow - you can probably duct tape it or something if your bed doesn't border the wall

The alarm on mine always goes off right at the very end of the 30 min window, and sometimes the sleep graph looks as though I've been in a coma for half the night. Perhaps I need to reposition or recalibrate it. Otoh I have been waking up much better. Shame it doesn't make actually getting out of bed any easier.

I set mine to short circuit and shock the bed

Not wanting to be a twat about this, 'cos obviously it's only a bit of fun ... but, er, how the FUCK can it make any claim to say what kind of sleep state you're in based on, umm, the accelerometer? Sure, if it came with an EEG net or something ... :)

Also, I don't think I'm entirely comfortable with the idea of sleeping with my phone, for all sorts of reasons. Mostly practical ones.

I think it operates on the principle that if you're moving a lot you're in a more shallow sleep than if you're staying still

I presume yr tossing (fnarr) and turning frequency must be pretty well correlated to sleep state. Sure there's a bit of guesswork thrown in as well but I think it does a decent enough job, If I wake up in the middle of the night sure enough there's an 'awake' peak on the graph the next day. (xp)
