Robin Bollen // Brussels // October 18 2011.

To tell you the truth, I have been holding off with the iOS5 upgrade until yesterday. In the old iPhone days I was always the first to upgrade but I’m getting a bit more precautious lately. Yesterday I couldn’t wait anymore and because there were no major issues reported by the people around me, I decided to jump as well.

Once the iPhone was finally upgraded, I was looking around if all was set automatically to desirable settings, at least for my interest. The following things I changed immediately, or are at least worthwhile looking at, if it interests you too.

Yesterday I reinstalled iGO Primo on my iPhone because of a long story I don’t want to bother you with. Anyway so far so good, the app was installed and I started the application. After been walking through the initialization wizard I go to > Show Map.

It shows me the map, but instead of Brussels where I was, it showed Paris, which is the application default for not finding your GPS fix apparently. In the top of the screen I saw the message “your GPS receiver has been turned off”.

Hysteria Project 2 is a hardcore interactive movie that is also a 360° live-action, choose-your-own-adventure survival-horror game, with a Hitchcock feel thrown in for good measure. Hysteria Project 2 takes you on a hardcore ride where you are the hero of an entirely filmed adventure. Follow the video clips, keep a sharp eye on what’s going on around you and most importantly of all - make the right choices at the right time, or suffer the consequences and fall pray to your folly.

Domotics or the art called House Automation is increasingly getting more and more popular, driven by energy efficiency, security and comfort needs. Most of these systems have their own set of remote controls, ranging from ugly plastic remotes to high cost programmable LCD screens.

We did set ourselves the goal of integrating our home automation with an iPhone to eliminate again another device at home. The project consists of three main building blocks.

Over the years the iPhone and its OS has evolved fast and stacked with new features. It isn’t so easy anymore to know every little detail of your beloved gem.

Yesterday I was reading a new iPhone tip and that gave me the idea to create a little quiz, to test if you are a real iPhone 3G S Pro User or not.

It takes a few minutes to conduct the test. Afterwards you can see the right answers and maybe learn some things you didn’t know yet. Have fun!

Test me dude!

New York, Tony Karakashian // Dec 1, 2009

In Part One of this series, I talked about how I wanted to replace the built in iPhone E-mail app. I settled in the end on simply using Safari and the Gmail web interface, but Safari has a few shortcomings of its own. The biggest, and most surprising, is that it’s really not designed for the small screen of an iPhone. The address bar at the top and tab bar at the bottom take up a lot of screen real estate that would be better used to show me what I’m looking at.

It has no ability to set a homepage, although you can create a shortcut on your Springboard to the page you want, but that seems so kludgy. Bookmark management is horrendous, and I’ve recently learned that once you launch it, Safari continues to run in the background until you reboot your iPhone. If you find your iPhone is slow or crashy, and you left a number of tabs open in Safari when you last used it, go in and close them to see the difference. I still have a 3G, so I can’t really afford something taking up my very limited memory.
