Iphone

I live in California, using at&t. In my case, recently I got a new iphone 4 to replace my old iphone 3g. The transition has been smooth even though I lost all settings from my individual apps. But, the one thing that caught my attention is google voice. Now, I am not blaming any party here, since it’s always technically challenging to have two companies involved in one device. btw, I am referring to the phone service, not the gv app. When some people call my at&t number they get a “phone not in service” error message, same error when calling my gv number. However, some other people are fine calling me. Strange… ...

Since my iphone OS got upgraded to iOS 4, I had to upgrade my Xcode as well… I just installed the latest Xcode 3.2.3 from xcode_3.2.3_and_iphone_sdk_4__final. It took out my previous SDK versions, and now I only have 3.2 and 4.0 left. It took me a while to fix all the framework paths. For your convenience, right click on a red framework, then choose General, for Path Type choose Absolute Path, then navigate to the following path to re-select your framework paths. /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS3.2.sdk/System/Library/ ...

This happened to me while debugging an iphone app with CoreLocation. I got crashes consistently. Then I started paying more attention to the console output, here is the error message: ERROR,Time,290362745.002,Function,“void CLClientHandleDaemonDataRegistration(__CLClient*, const CLDaemonCommToClientRegistration*, const __CFDictionary*)",server did not accept client registration 1 WARNING,Time,290362745.005,Function,“void CLClientHandleDaemonInvalidation(__CFMessagePort*, void*)",client 1035.0 has been disconnected from daemon That doesn’t make much sense… ^^; Then I realized I kept saying no to the pop up question “Would Like to Use Your Current Location”. I tried saying “OK”, then everything worked. No more errors. ...

For some reasons, this app hasn’t gotten much publicity. If you ever wondered if it’s possible to view your app sales data without going through itunesconnect, this app is probably what you want. You will need to download the latest source at http://wiki.github.com/omz/AppSales-Mobile/ using git. Afterward you will need to compile it yourself onto your own device.

Just got the news that dropbox now has an iphone app! So besides sync’ing between your pc and mac, now you can also see your files on your iphone!

There’s been a lot of buzz on iphone and palm pre. Well, let’s look at the numbers. Apple says it sold more than 1 million iPhone 3GSs. Palm has sold 150,000 Pres. Of course, I am sure there must be loopholes in getting these numbers. But hey, that’s still quite a big gap between 1,000,000 and 150,000 !!! I think it is fair to say that, the app developers will flock to wherever having a bigger customer base. According to our numbers, iphone is the winner for now. ...

applematters.com Boy… don’t they look similar? Meizu is apparently a cell phone company in China. Here is their official site and the eng version of it. I wonder how they got away with the copyright laws. Check out this comparison list from applematters.com: Dimensions: iPhone = 115 (h) x 61 (w) x 11.6 (d) mm M8 = 105 (h) x 57 (w) x 11.5 (d) mm Screen Size: iPhone = 3.5 inches M8 = 3.3 inches ...

If you want to use custom message on your iphone screen with Server Lock Example, here is how you do it. (My phone is 3G, firmware 2.2.1) First download a Terminal app, then download vim (or any text editor). Assuming you have Winterboard and have Server Lock Example turned on, we are now ready to go! Run Terminal, then cd /Library/Themes/Server Lock Example.theme/ Run " ls -l", you will see that there is a file called LockBackground.html. However it is owned by “root”, and you are “mobile”. So, let’s su as root then. The password is “alpine”. ...
