downloaded it last night. it's ok but the maps at worse no more street view and the directions are rubbish. saying that I have only got a 3GS I think I need a better iPhone to make it worth while :y
-
Looks like you are not the only one with map problems ....

At least my simple HTC has maps that work .... :)

Google maps was the daddy had years in perfecting it, Apple were annoyed as Android always got far superior versions of the app.
Google maps was ultra clean too, zero fuss. It's unbeatable in my opinion :y
-
No update for me yet then.
And possibly no iPhone 5 in that case.
-
Yep... The mapping is a real weak point >:( >:(
Fortunately I use TomTom anyway so have other options and there will, no doubt, be a google maps app fairly soon ::)
-
Full screen view in Safari (landscape) does make the screen feel much bigger when surfing though :y
-
Looks bloody quick though.

Yes, did hers last night.
Seems to like you signed into gamecentre etc, which we never bothered with before.
facebook integration is handy
its fixed the bluetooth not working with her car! :) Still doesnt autoconnect, but it works if you leave it in the bluetooth screen while starting the car, then handsfree fully operational for the duration.
1st attempt at the upgrade failed, but it restored and carried on no probs.
-
Strange about the Bluetooth. Mine connects automatically to the Nokia kit in the car, parrot kit in one van, built in kit in another 2 vans and a portable visor kit. All with no problems, although I sometimes have to do the first connection manually if I haven't been connected to it for a few weeks.

IIRC the head unit that Jimbob has (I had a very similar one) requires the phone to be "discoverable" even once paired with the device in order to first connect; that's (AFAIK) not standards compliant as once paired the device shouldn't need to be discoverable to connect (that's the idea of pairing, after all).. Pioneer fail ;)

Jimbob has a pikey kit in LJ's car ;)
No plans to upgrade before 6.1 comes out - you have to be a real idiot fanboy to upgrade to an Apple x.0 release ;)
-
Yep, never buy into a first release. Be if pfl or otherwise. ;)

I didn't (well I have had an early PFL as my 2nd Omega ;D), I had the utterly superior, near perfection if the tinker didn't rust like a, uhmmm, Vauxhall, MFL. The most superior of the 3 eras of Omega-B's

Google maps will be available by the end of the year, although I s'pose it will be a paid app ::)

It now won't sync to iTunes. Sees mine. But not hers. :-\
-
iCloud sync is off btw.
-
Mine's OK... Try a wired connection and see if it works? :-\
-
Yes, that is via cable, sees mine, hers no syncy. :(
It bongs when connected, but iTunes won't see it at all.
-
Dunno... Just plugged mine in to lappy and iTunes recognised it and started syncy as normal :-\
Worth trying resetting both phone and computer? ???
-
Yes have reset the phone. Re started iTunes. No different.
Lappy went fritz as it has problem with the mother board or sumat, pick it up the wrong way and the screen goes checkered and freezes. But apart from that it's fine. ::)
Switched off and start again in a minute. :-\
Ps it latest iTunes version.
-
stupid as it sounds, might be worth trying a different USB socket too :-\
-
Yes tried that, it wouldn't see either phone to start with.
Changed USB socket. Now sees mine. But still not hers.
Lappy back on. Mine bing bongs when plugged in.
Hers b-b-bongs when pluged in, as if not happy. Still no syncy. :(
-
Changed cable, no syncy. :(
-
Reset all setting. Still no syncy. :(
-
And now Tomtom has gone missing off mine. It was only plugged in for two seconds. :(
-
I'd suggest getting one sorted, then the other. There seems to be a comms issue somewhere.
Do either of them show in the iTunes side bar? If so, sync that one over wifi (if you can) to get it back to how it should be.
-
Device manager showed missing drivers for her device. All sortred.
Well... It's syncing. Ok so far. :-\
-
Trouble now is, we'll have the bag puss we will fix it song on the phone as a ring tone now. Sigh.... ;D

Shall we give it a call then? :-X ;D

I might have to go in and fiddle with it when she's not looking.
The phone I mean. The PHONE. ;D
