iPhone Episode II: Attack of the Phones

happycow  said about 1 year ago  or at  9:59AM on Wednesday, June 23 2010 in chat

Because the old one is devouring posts. Last night I made what I believed to be a hilarious post likening the 12 slot app folders to WOW/Diablo style item bags last night but the post is now lost forever.

Anyhow, OS4. I had a quick and easy upgrade via my work PC. Faster scrolling makes a huge difference. Love the 12 slot bags, but will probably be wishing they were 32 slots soon.

yep, I have a games satchel now. does anyone know how to auto-scroll to the bottom of a webpage in safari? like if you hit the top of the browser it auto-scrolls to the top, but getting to the bottom is a lot of finger swiping.


dub3000  said about 1 year ago:

if you multiple swipe in ios4 the scroller speeds up heaps. way better than os 3.

awesome call.


happycow  said about 1 year ago:

Yes, Stanza is great, I downloaded some free Phillip K Dick books and lots of H.P. Lovecraft.

Another new feature of OS4 that I discovered a few hours ago is how much faster the camera is. You click and it pretty much takes the photos straight away, rather than waiting around a few second while your hand moves in the meantime and makes the picture blurry.

Just wondering if my current 3G iphone can be used as an ipod touch when I update to the new 4G or does it need a sim to operate? That would be handy for my son to play with, and keep him away from my newie.


mallblimps  said about 1 year ago:

so apple had put the ability to rotate photos in the developer beta and then removed it from the final 4.0 release.

they are reaching magical and revolutionary levels of lameness.


tenzenmen  said about 1 year ago:

google android looks good to me. is it better than the apple os do folks here think?


happycow  said about 1 year ago:

Wow , that really sucks about taking out rotating photos. Would come in handy, why the fuck would they take it out? mallblimps, do you want your set from the Fall night? I have a copy on CD.


mallblimps  said about 1 year ago:

heck yes. mssg sent.

think i'll get hipstamatic, but also want an option for a timer for pics. any apps do that? also do burst shots?


outoftheaircrash  said about 1 year ago:

So.. Has anyone got an iphone 4 yet? Worth it? Anywhere better than others as far as getting it?


flukazoid  said about 1 year ago:

yes, it's worth it - the screen and speed alone make it worth it for me.

it pretty much costs the same where-ever you get it, but if you're up for getting a contract and are interested in telstra's plans, jb hi-fi offers $100 to $200 gift cards (for $49 p/mo and $79 p/mo plans respectively) when you sign up through them.


outoftheaircrash  said about 1 year ago:

Hmm. I'm selling my 3gs to my Dad for the cost of the early plan termination fee thinger ($500 or something) and just signing on for another two years with flOptus..

Wish Strathfield or someone dodgey did Optus so I could get a free playstation or something..!


outoftheaircrash  said about 1 year ago:

oh wait they do!


postergirl  said about 1 year ago:

My iPhone 4 is taking ages to activate – reckon it's been about 2 hours. Is this normal?


happycow  said about 1 year ago:

Anyone having trouble with alarms since daylight savings began?

All my alarms going off an hour early. I even deleted them and did them again and they're still going off an hour early. The only solution was to put all my alarms forward an hour, for example, I had to set my 7:30 alarm to go off at 8:30 so it goes off at 7:30. iPhone 3gs with the latest software update


Godzilla  said about 1 year ago:

With my Ipod touch the time kept jumping an hour ahead. I change my time zone to Brisbane yesterday and it now seems ok (even though if I was in Brisbane it would be an hour fast)


happycow  said about 1 year ago:

The strange thing is the clock on the phone is displaying the correct time and automatically adjusted to daylight savings time, but the clock in the alarm still thinks its non daylight savings time


Godzilla  said about 1 year ago:

but the clock in the alarm still thinks its non daylight savings time

If the alarm was on non-daylight saving time, it would be going off an hour late for you, wouldn't it? you are already getting up an hour earlier but the alarm is going off and hour before that.
I think this bug puts your alarms going off 2 hours earlier than they used to.

I want more Game Center budz.


Sunnyboyz  said about 1 year ago:

whats your Gamecenter moniker?


happycow  said about 1 year ago:

user: hullcrushdepth

Yo Gamecenter, how does it work???

Apparently flight control is compatible but it doesnt show up in my list of games


happycow  said about 1 year ago:

Godzilla, you're right. I don't know WTF is up with it.


anok  said about 1 year ago:

a fix is coming in... november? apparently it only happens with recurring alarms, so set them daily and it'll be fine.


the power of 666  said about 1 year ago:

One cool thing about gamecenter is that you can view your friends games and it shows how much they are, and links to get them. Sure, just cheap marketing, but is kinda handy.


radiotron  said about 1 year ago:

Is that alarm problem ios4?
On ios3 and my daily alarm is fine


Sunnyboyz  said about 1 year ago:

I'm Sunnyboyz17

but I only have Poker on it so far.


the power of 666  said about 1 year ago:

I think my alarm is fine.


postergirl  said about 1 year ago:

Oh, I need to upgrade my operating system. Wonderful news. Thanks for telling me. As if things aren't difficult enough. FML etc.
