iOS "must have" apps

Re: iPhone AppStore must haves?
No it's a direct connection to my Alpine X001 Headunit. I plan on resetting the HU this weekend to see if it cures the problem, I've also been told that rebooting the iPhone before using it in the car may help.

Re: iPhone AppStore must haves?
I've found the sequence I turn on the apps affects wether it works (same hu as you).
Best way I've found has stopped all issues.
1-Turn on ipod and get track playing
2-Go back to home screen
3-Then connect to stereo
4-Then turn on bluetooth etc.
Not had any issues running it this way.

Re: iPhone AppStore must haves?
Thanks I'll give that a try. Were you experiencing the same sound loss problems? It does not always do it so I knew there must be some way of avoiding it. I've just remembered I do use Bluetooth but not via the hu.
Are you rebooting the iPhone before using it in the car each time?

I've been needing an iPhone for months, now waiting on flipping Natwest to send me my new card so I can use it with Paypal to pay poor Matt

Re: iPhone AppStore must haves?
Sometimes it wouldn't play at all, sometimes the sound would sort of crackle. Not rebooting, just sticking to the same sequence and it seems to have sorted the issue. Spot on with copilot, with the instructions coming through the stereo.

Well, I got sick of waiting for the 'tards at Cupertino to approve the iPhone client. Luckily, there's a free open source client available on Cydia (requires jailbreak, obviously) called 'Spot'.
You'll still need a premium account (£10pm), but it works perfectly. The one thing I've yet to work out is how to do playlists, but I only sorted it this morning.
The other benefit is using Backgrounder, you can keep it playing whilst you're doing other things.
Perfect!

Re: iPhone "must have" apps?
Is there an App/way to count how many text messages i have sent? I only got my iphone 2 days ago and know i'll go over the 500 if i'm not careful.

DrawRace is good fun and pretty darn challenging to get really good at.

Re: iPhone AppStore must haves?
Where can you see what the new updates will be? Live Traffic is there but greyed out for me, is this a future update or additional cost?
Bought it yesterday as I had a 4hr drive, really really impressed apart from the bit where the A421 was closed overnight and it struggled to find a new route, used the detour option but I had to delete the A421 off the list about 15 times.

Re: iPhone "must have" apps?
i can't see how this satnav can be any good.
Even when walking in london with the google maps directions feature it struggled to keep up with my walking (and I am no fast walker lol).
how does it keep up with 80mph? and doesn't it rely on a constant data connection, something you don't get everywhere? Or am I missing something?

Re: iPhone "must have" apps?
GPS is a separate technology from your phones data/phone network. It calculates your position based on the satellite it can see.
The GPS unit in the iphone is not the specification of something you'd find in a standalone GPS unit, its compromised because its in a multi-functioning phone.
However when the TomTom cradle comes out you'll get the accuracy of a standalone SatNav but on the iphone - but at a cost.

Re: iPhone "must have" apps?
Yep, can confirm navigon is f**king ace. Picks up and connects just as fast as any of my sat navs and performance is amazing (for a phone!)

Re: iPhone "must have" apps?
Ah yes, cheers. They pretty much cover everything that annoys me about it (particularly the lack of QWERTY)
dk - I actually find the GPS unit in the iPhone more accurate when driving than walking. I use Motion GPS when walking and although it's very good, it struggles much more than CoPilot has for driving so far.
£26 for SatNav that good is a steal, imo. I would never have considered a full stand-alone satnav as I couldn't justify the price, but this offers everything I need at a quarter of the price.

Re: iPhone "must have" apps?
Not sure specifically how CoPilot works, but most GPS apps seem to use a combination of:
•Cell tower triangulation.
•GPS.
•Accelometrics, using the accelerometer data to process speed/direction of movement.
Navigon works well, but lack of 7 digit postcode is a glaringly obvious omission.
