iPhone 3G Earbuds’ inline mic, controls not working

2010-01-27 by spike Leave a Comment

I’ve just solved a rather curious problem with my iPhone 3G S and since previous posts on this site with troubleshooting information have gotten some hits and seem to be of periodic use to people, I though I’d post my solution for posterity. I used this method on an iPhone 3G S, but I’m confident … [Read more…]

On AppleCare vs. Vodafone

2008-10-03 by spike Leave a Comment

My iPhone was gimped, but not yet dead.  The problem was with the “home” button, and being the only button on the front face, you can imagine it gets used frequently.  It had lost the crisp, original clickyness and trying to press it was like using a sausage to play a snare drum.  Sometimes I’d … [Read more…]

Photosynth of Oriel First Quad

2008-08-26 by spike Leave a Comment

I couldn’t help but put together a nice “synth” of Oriel College’s First Quad in Photosynth. My main camera is down at the moment, so it was the trusty iPhone to the challenge.

2008-07-11 by spike Leave a Comment

Just a quick post to share some excitement. After a bit of a struggle, I pulled down and installed the iPhone 2.0 software last night and added some apps.  There are some good ones, which I’m sure you’ll hear described all over the intertoobs if you’re so inclined.  My favorite so far is called Midomi.  … [Read more…]

iPhone Activation

2007-11-27 by spike Leave a Comment

So, I bought an iPhone over the weekend. There’s been plenty of praise for the iPhone out there on the web–hell, it came out in the US months ago. Since other sites have pretty much said most of what there is to say about how nice it is, I’ll just say that I love it, … [Read more…]
