My phone is smarter than I am and I am perfectly ok with it.

You know you can like, delete your drafts

T4CT

it wouldn't let me

we had some sort of demon draft situation going on here

T4CT

Demon Draft sounds like a knock-off iOS game

Artreus

well if you still have the thread open in one page, and try deleting it another tab, it will totally just make a new draft

T4CT

I need a new iPhone game

what are people playing right now

MrMonroe

how do you delete drafts?

T4CT

Hey @Nerdgasmic

I know you've already started using my solution I gave you a while ago

but a new solution as recently come to my attention in the form of this

http://www.doubletwist.com/airsync/

I have no experience with it but it seems way better

Tossrock

From the topic list, there's a blue button in the bar above the thread list called "My Drafts"

Nerdgasmic

Thank you for bringing that to my attention, it seems pretty neat, although the notpod works well enough for now

Artreus

I always delete them and check all my notifications right away bcause I hate having those things hanging around

ahh, I knew about that

the catch is that you also have to hover over the draft and have your window wide enough to see that little "x" pop up at the right

One day you should have a peek at how much shit costs in Australia...

Does importing from Asia work out cheaper for this stuff?

Dunno, I just get my stuff from Aussie online retailers for warranty/return purposes, or for big things (monitors, cases, etc.) I go to my favourite computer shop just down the road.

I'd hate to buy something from some little exporter in Singapore and then have to try and return and refund a DOA product.

I used to just listen to the Tested podcast for my mobile podcast fix

which I still do because they're hilarious but lately they do less tech talk

so I just started listening to the Verge Mobile Podcast

if you are as weirdly obsessive about phones as me it's actually pretty interesting to listen to.

Thanks for the tip. It's nice to have some phone talk that isn't "tech specs are boring" and "anything that isn't Apple is garbage".

Instacast, the best podcast app had some very, very nice updates that went live today.

Seriously, you should all buy this app

It would be just super if every time I had to update my iPhone it didn't fail and force me to reset to factory defaults.

At least everything's backed-up.

Tef

Being able to update the firmware via wifi is such a goddamn handy thing to do. No more poxy iTunes on my windows PC.

Blake T

I'm still updating through iTunes.

Jailbreaking 4lyf.

That's not true, I haven't updated in ages, they didn't make an untethered version of 5.1 so I'm still on 5.0.1.

Tef

@That Dave Fella Chris' suggestions are bloody good. Here's an alternative you could look at:

Asus 7970 for 372

Dell 24" 1920x1200 for 336

The 680 is the more powerful card, but I would argue not 100 quid more powerful. The Dell 24" is a higher resolution, which will let you take better advantage of the beefy card.

It is worth noting that the monitor is 3 inches smaller than the Samsung Chris linked. I believe the increase in resolution is a worthy tradeoff.

Tef

I really should at least try a jailbroken phone.

Blake T

Honestly, iOS covers most of what I want now days. I mainly use it for SBsettings. Also my notification centre gets its weather details from the BoM now. As opposed to before when I'm pretty sure it was a guy touching his nipples to figure out if it is hot or cold.

There are probably three or four quite nice things I get as well, but I could live without them.

my 3gs was jailbroken but i haven't bothered with my new one / since 5.0 came out

that is super weird, mine updated this afternoon without any problems at all.

Tef

I just want f.lux and native .avi support.

I mean, fixing the latter was as easy as downloading flex:player but still

Blake T

Also Americans.

There is apparently a shortage of black refurbished iPhone 4 at the moment. So there is a high chance if you take you're in with a problem. It will be swapped out with a 4s.

Oden

I went to the apple store to see if they would replace my phone because of the broken home button, but because its so far out of warranty they want $170 to do it

im tossing up whether or not its worth it because my contract expire in october and Ill be getting a new phone anyway

but on the other hand its only $170

Aneurhythmia

Mine was like two weeks out of warranty when I took it in for the sim card problem, and they wanted 150. For the past month though, the home button has been acting up. Maybe I'll try taking it in again with this new demand they've got going.

Tef

Oh dang, I better hop on it returning my phone. I'm having the home button issue too and my warranty is nearly up I think

Oden

you can check it here

TankHammer

Yeah my home button is also on a subtle decline but my contract is up next month.

Dude, you are awesome.

Tef

hahahahaha

3 fucking days over

e: Thanks for the link Oden, you're the best

Blake T

Once they make the jailbreak untethered I will probably take it in and swap it out.

Just gotta wipe the phone first.

Aneurhythmia

Mine isn't up until like November. Bleh. Thinking about going back to Android.

Look into the HTC OneX or OneS. They're made of aluminum with a polycarbonate bonding process that makes it feel like ceramic.

Skip to 0:24 to check it out.

do any iphone/windows people have trouble reliably syncing wirelessly?

my phone only seems to show up in itunes 1. when I'm not actually trying to sync or 2. when I'm plugged into my computer
