Software update for iphone/ipod touch issue

[DaveUK]

Don't suppose any of you guys own an iphone/ipod touch, connect it to your car stereo with an adaptor and have recently upgraded the OS to v3?

I have, and now when I sometimes change tracks (more often than not), there is now a lag from when I change tracks on my stereo and the track actually changes. The lags gets worse if you try and skip through a few tracks at once!

Usually, once a track does change, I can get through a few tracks before the display on the stereo updates to reflect the currently playing track!

I've tried resetting the ipod to factory, then resyncing, but the issue doesn't seem to want to go away at the minute!

Any ideas?

[somebody]

Sorry I have no Ideas. But will speak to Staff of Apple I have to meet in the course of my work if an opptunity arises.

I have learned never be one of the first to upgrade software or firmware

Seems quite a few are suffering the same problem which in a way is good news and means there be an update soioner rather than later what with the samsung,nokia and palm rivals making the market a little more competive

But I was given a goodie bag from Apple a while back(We are in the middle of a big Deal at the moment) but chucked it in my laptop bag (a dell:D) and now its sitting in a box awaiting to go to phill. So I may have owned some i wotist for a while:rolleyes:

My mobile is absolutely fantastic, I can actually make phone calls with it.....:omg:

[maria_and_matt]

hi dave, both me and my son updated the software and it corrupted our itunes, we called apple support and they admitted the the version 3 is a bit buggy, they told us to save all our songs and reinstall itunes.. my son did that and now it works perfect.. i just kept on synching and it seem to work now too... moral of the story is dont be too quick to update:bigcry:.... when i updated some of my apps wont work too... which is highly annoying... but iphone i think is still the best phone in the planet :icon_lol::icon_lol:

I was hoping the resync would work for me too, but sadly not.

I had an issue with 2.2 where even if fully charged when I went to bed, the ipod would be dead by morning. A quick factory reset sorted that problem though!

I was hoping the same would work this time. Damn that age old cure of rebooting failing me! It always works so well in work when I have to fix someone's PC! :)

Cheers for the heads up. I did have a search myself to see if anyone else was having similar issues, but I obviously didn't try hard enough :)

In a twisted way, I'm definitely happy others are experiencing the same issue. As you say a patch I'm sure will be on the way which is enough for me for now!

When I were so much younger than today, we didn't have mobile phones and computers, and we all survived. If you told someone to send you a text in 1981, they probably thought send the written pieces of paper through the post. If someone said "I'm on Twitter" back then, they'd probably laugh at you and call the police. Any mention of surfing the net would bring howls of laughter and "dont you mean surfing the waves in New Quay?"

As for MP3 players, I will NEVER buy an I-prod or anything made by Apple, Creative do excellent media players, and a much cheaper cost. Iphone 3G unlocked for £900 over on Play, need I say more.

Fair point fella, but then how can you clarify your point on brand choice of MP3 players by quoting a price for something that's primary function is as a mobile phone? :)

i think that i am saving a lot of money with my iphone, with it i have an excellent mp3 player, a phone, a camera, it is also my gaming machine and a mini laptop :) i can connect to the internet wherever i am :)

As for mp3 players, I-pods are always more expensive than other brands with similair specs, this is plainly obvious. With Apple products your paying for style over substance.

Maybe I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to technology, but reliance on one product such as I-Phone for phone calls, music, contacts and calendars is crazy - what if that device fails or its lost or stolen?

[vbkelly]

i would like to buy an iphone but we went on the shop in town last saturday iphone is to dear £400+ 8gb it is to much, i tought it was £165 but the £165 is an ipod hmmmm i was gotted lol

Greetings Rob Sir.

Of course new Technolgy comes along, some of no use and others useful.
I know you are a keener user of I.T products as well.

Many technolgies im sure many on here have noticed are intended by the makers for one purpose but people find other uses. Alot of them so vital to many people on here.

Take the Webcam that made LDR's for many so much easier.

Human Kind surely is all about progression and dare I say it on this site evolution?

Even the MP3 (and many other formats) has changed the Wife and I's lives.
When the Wife was in Phill I was able to send mp3's, mp4 and jpegs.

To have sent audio,video and pictures to phill before computers would have taken weeks possibly longer.

It had many uses including helping my Wife have the chance to study spoken english for her Ilets. She had studied and taken the exam before possibly the media would have got to her.

Having an ipod/smartphone as well as for music she could study english wherever she was. Text books would not have helped and the portable wax cylinder most likely would have melted out in phill:D

Videos and pictures were taken of our local area in the UK so she knew it before she came here.

Not groundbreaking or crucial but helped my Wife:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Twitter however bizzare the orignal use is, personally bloging is a bit sad to me if its just about your life but people have written diarys and even recorded personal events by carving into things for generations before that bloke to was born who gave me the mid winter and spring festivals off:xxgrinning--00xx3:
But the actual technolgy is very useful in various ways ie for news as it happens even very local events or things happening thousands of miles away. As my Wife now keeps up with news in her local town:xxgrinning--00xx3:
Twitter also is like a subject file in many twitters i recieve so if i want to read more i can go to a webpage or media hosting site.
Of course the best way using the gateways she can text with her family and friends for a fraction of the amount it would cost. While the missus can use her smartphone which untill sent over those in phill mainly cant afford they can communicate using a phone they can use with whats now simple sms on a old phone which costs 10 or 20 pounds:D

Many people in the UK have free texts and even data plus can afford the technolgy to use these as cheaply as possible. But many in developing nations cant so i celebrate Technolgy being adapted to make their lives just a little easier/better/less costly:)

The Wife wonders why i always provide her with smartphones (not iphone they cant multi task and the cameras a bit :NoNo:) rather than some poser phone or crackberry. As others have mentioned they are cheaper than all the indivudal parts. My wife also is not going to want to carry around a mp3 player, camera, pda, netbook,dvd player plus a phone just on the off chance she needs one or many of these for a short while.

Maybe to us old :butthead: we dont want to share with our friends the window displays in regents street and where we have been, but the Wife loves the fact she can upload pictures while out if need be. Share her life with loved ones and feel part of the family looking and sharing photos and videos:D

As well as the shared experience it also reasures her family that she is ok and not locked up in a cellar:omg:

Look at skype with the Wife in the UK, her mum in Italy and her bro and sis in two locations in phill. It is tough for them all being apart. But they can have free skype confrence calls while the Bro and sis at present are unable to roam and skpye.
The WIfe and her Mum can be literally anywhere a phone signal is and use a 3 skpyephone (which costs us nothing a week to run i might add with the new free skype to skype calls).

The one not mentioned is GPS. While i dont like all this locate me and let all my friends know where I am 24/7. Like the videophone most people want a degree of privacy.

Its reasuring to know that if the Wife did get lost she does have a way of letting me know where she is or finding her way even if she dont know exactly herself.

If anything Technolgy makes life just a little bit easier for those apart and for that reason alone I celebrate it.

Technology is changing everyday and it is changing how we live our lives.
It is changing our leisure activities and the workplace. Moreover, our ability to use technology directly affects the quality of our lives.

Heard of to many people not happy and even if they clear up the issue annoyed at the time they wasted sorting it.

Quite right there young Andy. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

The point I was making about having everything in one device is that you risk losing everything should that device be lost/stolen/unrepairable. Now, as a retired DJ, I always kept the audio mixer, amplifiers and cd players as seperate units, so if one should fail, I can get a replacement in place very quickly. If however, the DJ has all of this in one unit, and the equipment decides to go belly up during a gig, everything is lost. I apply the same logic to these all-in-one communication devices.

Now moving back to the I-phones, the IT person in me says, well, as long as everything is sync'ed or backed up to external sources, the case for IPhones is quite good.

My Sony Ericsson W610i, being nearly 3 years old is capable of storing and playing music, can handle email via the IMAP protocol quite well, and has calendar functions, etc. It has a strange function where it can make phone calls as well, whats that all about :Erm:

It confuses me why people want to upgrade, upgrade their phones all the time, but whatever floats yer boat.

I have two requirements only for my mobile phone.

1 - A decent camera function, and my C905 does that impeccably.:xxgrinning--00xx3:
2 - Making calls with it.:xxgrinning--00xx3:


It confuses me why people want to upgrade, upgrade their phones all the time, but whatever floats yer boat.

The only time I upgrade my phone is only when Sony Ericsson bring out a mobile with a better specification camera.

Anything else like e-mail, web and walk, video calling and whatever else they do, I am not interested in.

Thats why like your pc you should always back up.
I doubt my wife even realises but her calendar when she uses is sync to her pc via a cloud. She backs up her photos and often has twitpiced or sent off to ovi or another photo storage site. So she could lose the days snaps but that would happen if something happened to your camera digtal or film.
The music is all synced so unless a mate sents a choon to her blue tooth before she resyncs then its still there and of course if the friend sent it via email there is a back up there.

Most people would keep their mp3, camera, organiser on them so if robbed or bag lost or fell in the river well they would lose the lot anyway.
Plus the Wife simply is not going to lug round one of each, but she carries two phones her skpye phone and nokia quite often:Erm:

Fair enough, but I upgrade as if you have a pay monthly contract as i do most of the cost is for the phone. So would be daft not to in our case.

Due to the Wife buying Credit via text message for her calls back to phill and other countries, our provider falls over it self every year to hold on to our two contracts which both make them more than the minimum monthly rental.
She can pick and choose and get every year a even more free mins, sms etc.
Same happens on my Phone

Strangely those in phill seem to love and fully support the yearly contract upgrade:D

Indeed one of the most important tasks is to get the Phones unlocked by the provider as soon as they allow. Always best myself and others have found on newer unlocking via the provider rather than by a market stall etc.

Most provide the service free, but is another factor to consider when taking out a contract i feel. As two phones a year sorts out the little bro and sis plus when they upgrade the work phones and suggest to save on cost and logsitics that we take to a recycle place our selfs:xxgrinning--00xx3::D

My phone has done what the Iphone does for the last 3 years, and much more, works on any network, battery is 3 days (2 if you leave wifi, bluetooth, and the GPS on). In fact HTC have had these phones out for 5 years (previous without GPS), and the new version is even better. http://www.htc.com/uk/product.aspx

At work someone brought in a iphone latest what have you and at first we all crowded round well beats work:D

it can play songs (umm ok) it has iplayer (umm ok), it can browse the interweb (umm ok) we were struglling now to be intrested.

So someone piped up can you multi task (all the major reviews mention this) I thought surely this is just the anti apple people. But its true its unable to run more than one application at a time!

No email,twitter client(that ones for rob) either reading,composing or just runing in the background, music playing,creating a sms, taking pictures/video while browsing the web and downloading torrents (thats for Joe) plus other applications and widgets open.

My year old Nokia can have all those apps running at once and jump between them.
Which you may think why but trust me actually useful in realife.

Now why does the iphone have no easy to use gmail imap client they share board members:rolleyes:
