Does it work with 3G only or do you need the wireless to be on?

It is the same as watching YouTube. Wireless ideal, but 3g works.

Hi there,

Having a problem with the WunderRadio app. When I try to access the list of stations I get an "unable to connect. Touch to retry" message. However when I try to run the app on my iPod Touch the stations come up and plays no bother. Both devices are connected to the same WiFi network with the exact same settings.

The iPhone is running the 3.1.2 firmware while the iPod has 3.0. Could this be the problem?

Jelly sms. Uses your meteor/02/vodafone free web text account and contacts list to send free texts. There's free version with adds.

If anyone is looking for an addictive game, download Tilt To Live. I can't put it down!

Linoge · 07-04-2010 2:15pm

My Fav apps:

Non Jailbroken
Angry Birds - Highly addictive!! 79c
QuickOffice - ca €10 - Very powerful app for creating and editind word and excel. Great upload over wifi utility too
Facebook - free
WhatsApp - Send push messages to friends with same app for free. Some very good features. ca €2
Remote - free - Control iTunes from your iPhone
Monkey Island - Absolutely classic game - ca €7
Sky+ - free
IrelandsCinemaTimes - 79c

Jailbreak Apps
Last App***** - Shake to instantly go back to your last app. Worth jailbreak for this alone!
Backgrounder - Allows you to run an app in the background. Eg. Use Today FM/ Last FM and check your emails
Winterboard - Change the look of your Springboard and Icons
MX tube - Download YouTube videos
SMS Helper - main thing on this app is that it counts your charactors on your text. Something glaringly missing from iPhone
Wififofum - Finds all wifi networks, even hidden ones.
Android Lock***** - Unlock your iPhone by a patterned slide. Brilliant!
SB Settings ***** Shortcut to turn on and off a host of stuff eg. wifi, 3G, BT. loads of other great stuff too. Should be on factory software.

How do we get it in ireland? I cant find it on google...

Just got a free App from Cydia named "LastApp"

It's exactly what the iPhone is missing.
Are you fed up with having to close one App to go back to the last one you had open , then back again ?
(e.g) You are in Safari but wanna open your mail quickly , means you have you close Safari , open mail , close mail , back into Safari.:(

Well "LastApp" will allow to quickly toggle between 2 of the last Apps open , or set certain buttons or motions (great addition) to toggle between certain Apps.

I have set it up so if I'm in Safari I quickly shake my device and it will open my mail , another shake and I'm back into Safari .

it's bacically CTRL ALT for your phone

Well worth the 0c price .

I find Backgrounder & Insomnia work really well for that... you can have multiple apps open at once, drains the battery & slows everything down but it does work... great for social networking or something like skype...

I got the Empire movie guide app too, but was a bit disappointed with it, some of the movies I was looking up didn't appear in App, rotten tomatoes and IMDb are much better, even though I do love empire will stick to the mag instead of the app for now

and reading back over this thread to get ideas for some apps.

I see a lot of recommendations for the Sky+ recording app - does anyone know if there's anything similar for the upc/ntl recordable digibox?

I think i rebooted my phone (not just a respring). Works fine for me

darsar · 10-04-2010 6:25pm

Guys

A long shot but I'm looking for a way to lock individual apps. Basically I know i can password lock my phone but my nephews love messing with my phone for games and that which is fine but I wouldn't want them opening up my Ping or texts seeing things from my pals!!

I'm normal 3gs and probably chancing my arm here!

Dman001 · 10-04-2010 6:26pm

Ya I restarted the phone and it works. Great App.

Backgroundr
ProSwitcher
Volume Extender

3 must have Jailbroken Apps.

got it, and very dissapointed - it seems to only have about half the articles as in the print or web version - it's not good enough compared to the guardian app which has oodles of reading every day

Yeah, it's crap. No way should they be charging for it. And given that they've returned to the subscription model, I doubt they'll improve it.

+1 the Guardian. Fantastic app.

RonanC · 12-04-2010 3:06pm

Thanks, I'll stick with the Guardian for the time being so.

Mini Driver · 12-04-2010 5:27pm

Think there was another one called "yearbook yourself" too. This is hilarious... if theres a few pints involved when you use it on your mates prepare for people to start wetting themselves!!

dinneenp · 13-04-2010 12:40am

What app has scores from the widest range of sports? I want it for checking sporting results for bets...
I have livescore (very good), Sky Sports (slow to load).
I'm looking for one that'll give as many sports as possible- soccer, rugby, F1, rugby, horse racing, boxing etc.

thanks,
Pa.

dublander · 13-04-2010 11:08am

Angry Birds is a must have, well worth the 79c, I can't stop playing it!

Very effective if the signal strength is around 60-80%

Vim Fuego · 13-04-2010 4:10pm

I like dessid, it does what it's supposed to do. I'm certainly glad I got it. It's got me online in Dublin Airport (for free), a pub in Westport, my granny's house and so on. You pick up quite a few signals in Dublin city centre too.

jonny_b1 · 13-04-2010 9:09pm

Ok I'll go ahead and get it so.well handy tool to have I suppose.thanks for the feed back

L5 · 13-04-2010 9:12pm

just google "eircom wep"

exact same thing

Opera Mini was released yesterday. Can't see the point myself, as Safari does me fine, but some may prefer it.

Also, Bird Strike is free today/yesterday. Very similar to Doodle Jump but is great fun.

Unfotunately, this is where it gets messy. You'd need either a Credit Card based in the US (with a US address), or you'd need to be able to get your hands on an iTunes card from the US (these are hard to get, unless you have friends / family over in the States - you used to be able to buy online, but there was a massive fraud problem and Apple tightened controls).

You can download as many free Apps as you like, it shouldn't ask for CC info.

Dont go straight to create an account. Go to download a free app on iTunes (US Region of course) without an account. It will then prompt you to create one> Create one at this point and click on No Payment.

Trying to use Eirtext but when I try to send it says "App requires internet access. Please ensure that WiFi or cellular data is enabled and try again".

Can this only be used with wifi?

no you should be able to use it using your service provider cellular data, i had the same issue i deleted the app & reinstalled & works fine now

Linoge · 15-04-2010 12:07pm

For those of you who have Jailbroken phones, download MewSeek. I downloaded it ages ago but never used it. I dont want to go in to details but it uses P2P and is brilliant!

I've bought a couple of apps for my iPhone, -iTreadmill and iMapMyWalk. I wanted a pedometer style app so I got iTreadmill. It seems decent enough although I'm not 100% convinced about the accuracy of the distances it says I've walked. Especially as yesterday I bought iMapMyWalk and walked the same route home and the distance was less and pretty much matches what the clock says on the car when I clocked the distance.

The iMapMyWalk shows you the route you've walked on a map, the distance, how long it took, calories burned. Apparently you can also take pics on your walk and it uploads them to a website so you can see the route you walked and the pics you took. I haven't tried that aspect out yet though.
