you can change the recording length in settings, but thats about it

12/6/2008 1:20:05 PM

^does that help with identifying songs? Or do you guys leave it on the default length?

12/6/2008 3:02:24 PM

mine has always been fine on the default length but i would think the longer it listens to more accurate it would be.

Lately my NCSU email on my iPhone has been acting up. I can get the mail, check it and everything, but it will not delete mail when I tell it to. It will tell me "unable to move message". It used to work fine and I haven't changed any settings that I'm aware of, what could the problem be? Maybe when I upgraded the firmware?

12/6/2008 4:58:28 PM

12/7/2008 11:22:21 AM

how much are these things used?

12/7/2008 12:01:40 PM

more than what you can get them w/contract

$199 w/contract

12/7/2008 12:04:25 PM

I've never had a problem with shazam...it's picked up every song that I've thrown at it...

same with mine. If you choose to move them to your trash folder it will delete them.

hijacking this for a sec... can anyone recommend a good FM transmitter? I want to buy one for my buddy, his is starting to fall apart. I use a Monster brand and it has been solid for years but now that I have been shopping around online these things are way more expensive than they should be.

12/8/2008 10:25:01 AM

FM transmitters are going to suck no matter what

wire it up to your aux input

12/8/2008 10:31:54 AM

^what useless post, no where did he say that he cared about the quality, just that they are too expensive and that the one currently is falling apart. of course aux is going to be better, but some people dont really care to do it.

^^have you checked http://www.ilounge.com reviews, they're generally well written and pretty spot on. the issue will be getting one that for sure works with your iphone

12/8/2008 12:47:21 PM

okay so I got a 60 day trial of mobileme but when I add the account it says that it will sync my contacts with my computer but all of my contacts are on my phone..what do I do?

12/8/2008 9:16:04 PM

it puts everything on everything, basically

so yea, it's not going to erase anything. if you're that paranoid, back everything up first in iTunes

12/8/2008 9:22:21 PM

um I definitely just lost all my phone numbers doing that..I hit sync and it took all my names off. argh

12/8/2008 10:04:33 PM

eh..def shouldn't have. hope you backed it up like i said

12/8/2008 10:05:28 PM

luckily I had everything in outlook except for the few numbers I've recently got...but thats not many

12/8/2008 10:16:30 PM

...if you have exchange sync, why do you need mobileme?

12/8/2008 10:19:40 PM

who the hell said anything about exchange?

[Edited on December 8, 2008 at 10:23 PM. Reason : exchange!=outlook, dur]

12/8/2008 10:23:26 PM

I don't....I have outlook on my old computer but now that I have a mac which will be my primary computer I wanted to try mobileme

12/8/2008 10:24:22 PM

outlook on mac or PC?

12/8/2008 10:26:44 PM

PC...I never really used exchange right when I got my iphone I thought it would be a smart idea to add all my contacts into outlook just in case..

12/8/2008 10:31:28 PM

yea, i was gonna say there's a mobileme app you can use that will sync everything and would have eventually sent all the contacts from outlook to your phone (after it apparently erased them lol)

again, back that shit up in outlook before you mess with it. def not worth losing all your contacts over but that's one of the coolest thing about mobileme or exchange to me. i can just add whatever contact info i get from someone in an email or something to my contacts in outlook and it sends it to my phone. same thing with the calendar.

[Edited on December 8, 2008 at 10:33 PM. Reason : and by coolest i mean pretty much the entire point of it.]

also, question for everyone else: do you have to have the business data plan for exchange to work?

Not at all. I use it daily with the regular plan.

nope, works fine for me

i think you only have to have the enterprise data plan if your service is being paid for by your company

12/9/2008 1:30:44 PM

cooool. in that case i'm gonna start usin that shit soon son

12/9/2008 4:18:28 PM

Another stupid question- is there a way to edit contacts in your phone through iTunes?

12/11/2008 9:33:18 AM

no

you can do it in outlook though if you have that. if you don't have it you can download a free trial from microsoft.. or PM me and i'll eh, make sure you get a "working" copy..

12/11/2008 9:43:23 AM

oh man, more stuff to install

this computer is old and tired, im afraid too much more will kill it. i need to pull my music and pictures off of it and wipe it, but things like that arent as easy as they were back in 97 with windows 3.1... i dont even have a windows disc anymore. hell i dont even know what kind of memory this thing takes...

12/11/2008 10:34:38 AM

lol, it isn't gonna kill it

but it sure as shit isn't gonna run fast either probably.

and it's easier to pull music and shit off now than it was with 3.1. really all you have to do is reinstall windows--it won't delete your shit unless you tell it to format that partition. it might move it to a different folder and you'll have to move it back but it doesn't delete music/pics during the install.

also you can just download the CD from a torrent somewhere--if you have a key then your copy of windows is still legal.

12/11/2008 10:43:25 AM

Holy shit warfare Inc. came out!!! Was the best game on palm! Great rts. They're working on 2-4 player multiplayer. If they get it working that's going to be insane. A full-featured RTS multiplayer on iphone/touch! And the add on missions/mods for this game are great.

how come sometimes it sends mail to my phone and sometimes I have to send it to look for mail??

12/14/2008 11:24:26 AM

how often do you have it set to check your mail?

12/14/2008 11:45:51 AM

you mean like Fetch New Data?

Push is ON

Fetch is set to Every 15 Minutes

12/14/2008 12:19:03 PM

hm, should be doing it that often then. i've had mine do some weird things like that before though where if i didn't touch it for a few hours it wouldn't check my mail until i unlocked it then it'd do it

so yea... 0 help from me

12/14/2008 12:32:25 PM

speaking of which, is gmail ever going to push????

12/14/2008 7:22:26 PM

gmail seems to be pretty good about getting through to me, but I really only use it for certian things

Joining the club as of yesterday. Of course posting from it now... I heart pandora anywhere

12/15/2008 2:49:11 AM

iPhone nano?

12/15/2008 12:20:24 PM

^lol i don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing...but i'm sure it won't hurt apple's stock.

12/15/2008 5:01:36 PM

If it had the same specs, I would think a smaller iPhone would do better. For the people who want the slick interface, but don't need the larger screen, that would be perfect.

Considering too they just bought out PA Semi, I could see them being able to technically do it too.

12/15/2008 5:20:26 PM

About to join the club...couple of questions:

Is there a good way to use GPS + maps + speakerphone to navigate yet?

Why do I have to pay more a month to use Exchange?

Is it worth it to get the 8gb or 16gb (my entire music library is way over either of those, and I don't anticipate watching whole movies on it, and even if I did it would only be one time)?

no

you don't. you have to pay more for a "business" plan--aka a business is paying the bill. exchange works on the regular plan though no problem.

i got the 8 and it hasn't been a problem for me although i think i would be happier with the 16--more for pictures than anything really. i can get enough music on there now but would like to keep more pics on there

12/15/2008 7:17:44 PM

^ surprised more people aren't trying to hack together a primitive navigation app, considering the iPhone is equipped with all the necessary hardware...although I'm sure it's being heavily suppressed by all the GPS manufacturers

As far as the rate, I was in an AT&T store earlier today and as soon as I told them I would be using my hospital Exchange account, they said I would have to pay $45/mo instead of $30 (I'm upgrading a line on FamilyTalk). Scammers?

12/15/2008 7:26:24 PM

don't tell them you're using it. i asked the same question either on this page or a page back and everybody said it would work fine on the regular plan.

at worst it doesn't work and you upgrade then.

and yea, a real turn by turn navigation app is def high on the list of things apple needs to get implemented.

yeah.. like 5 posts up

this is awesome. photosynth is already really cool, and now you can do the 2d gallery on the iphone/touch.

12/16/2008 2:49:01 AM

Did I miss something? Since when do all apps that need updating get updated when you go to update just one? I had 10 apps that needed updating and I updated just one.. Then when I went back to the app store it said all apps are up to date...
