Hi all,
After months of begging I finally got my wife to give in and let me buy the iPhone. She likes it so much I think I am gonna have to go out and get her one pretty soon. I have everything synced with my mac and everything is working fine with my gmail account, things are going pretty good but...
.... How do I get the G.P.S. to work. I know it does not have turn by turn (unless someone put something up in the app store *hint, hint*) but I don't understand how to get what it will do working. Can I S.M.S. (text message) pictures or am I stuck emailing them? Is there still no cut and paste or has then been addressed and I just don't know how to do it. My friend said that there is a light saber app available, I guess you swing your phone and it makes L.S. sounds, I can not find it.
Here is the thing that is bugging me the most. The Remote app. I really want to control my ATV with this thing but I cant get it to work. I try to launch the remote app and it looks like it is starting to open but then it just goes back to my home screen. I don't know if the app is crashing or (this could be my fault) the phone can not see the appletv. Right now I have 2 wirless networks in my house, I have a B/G network for all my game consoles and junk and then I have a N network for all my apple stuff.... MBP, AIR, ATV, TIME CAPSULIZE.... I set it up this way because I was told that if I allow anything other than "N" on my "N" it will drop everything to the slower "B/G" speeds. I need to keep them separate because I stream lots of stuff between all my apple stuff and it was just painful on the slower networks. So here is where I might have everything messed up. The iPhone is "B/G" so I hooked the wi-fi to that slower network while my ATV is on the "N"; is this the reason I cant get the remote app to work?
Thats all the questions I have right now. I love the phone, I got the 16 Gig in white.
Thanks for any and all help.
Any other secret hints or tips that come to mind would also be great.
