iphone app
 

yeah I said it I think we need an iphone app I'm sure there are a ton of members that just dont have the time to sit on the computer all day and post threads reply etc.

tapatalk maybe?

there's an android app, but that doesnt really help you does it.

sorry bud

u bought the wrong phone :P

but here's the link for android guys

What wrong with using the iphones web browser? :dunno:

haha of course I did and just my luck I just made the droid to iphone switch

lol i love my droid,

bought the torque pro app (with obd2 bluetooth thing, cost me like $50NZ all up) so when im driving i have a REAL temp gauge and i can clear and read cels (when i get my midpipe)

Works fine just using a browser like Safari or Chrome on a 4S.

Iphone = Hype. Android ownz joo.

Ummm actually there are
:suspect:

iPhone's have an amazing ability to stir the shit pot of Android users whether intended or not. :lol:

Just downloaded app from google. Not bad. Also use google reader and I can browse every post!


Posted from Rx8club.com App for Android

I have no idea how I missed that rx8club app for android! Time for download... The mobile site isn't that bad if stuck with it.

Is thag working pretty good for you? I just found the app so im going to order the obd2 bluetooth adapter on the 1st. But it seems pretty legit, it have ths agency power midpipe and want to clear that code akd would really like all the other co stuff it has like the temp readers and torque and hp readers. Does it all work for you?

The Android app would be ok if it had a way to just look for all new posts. Since it doesn't, the browser is still better, IMO.

silly android users shouldn't let an inanimate object get them all riled up unless they understand deep down where they can only hide their shame from everyone but themselves that they did in fact choose poorly when selecting a phone.

kinda like buying an RX8 with an automatic... "But it's got paddle shifters!!! /sigh... damn... i suck..."

:lol: The iphone is done. The body bag is waiting already.

I went with the iPhone due to the fact there were no other smart phones at the time, this is back when the 3g first came out and just stuck with it. Once you jailbreak it's even better. And honestly with all the complaining my friends do about battery life and freezing on the andriod phones (EVO4, Epic) I'm happy with my choice. Now apple needs to get off their ass and make the 5 cause I'm bored with the 4 and ready for an upgrade.


But I'm still wondering why the op feels we need an app for this, I mean I'm on here on my phone all day with no issue, I don't see how an app would make it any better..

Yeah, Android has a bit more power, flexibility, and is a little more complicated than the iPhone. Your comparison to RX-8s and automatics is spot-on, unfortunately it seems that you have reversed it. :evil_laug

It's funny because all I hear from the iphone users I know of is that it is slow, locks up, and the battery life sucks. I do hear that from Android users but those users are generally running lower end phones running older versions of Android.

My last phone was an HTC HD2 that was rooted to run Android and that is what turned me on to the capabilities and reliability of Android.

Never had a droid so I can't really say I know how long the battery last, just my friends complaining about wanting bigger batteries. And it really depends on how you use the phone as far as battery life goes. I mostly surf the web and do e-mails with my phone, battery will last about 2 days with out a charge. As far as locking up goes, it could be the app they are running, some apps are just garbage (read:facebook) and slow the phone down a lot. I have experienced some freezing before while running crappy jailbroke apps, but nothing to really complain about.

Yeah it seems the more apps you get on an iphone the slower it gets. I can understand sticking with a platform and if you are a Mac user then having an iphone makes sense from a sync and integration standpoint. And yeah how you use the phone definitely affects battery life. My phone has a great battery life but when I use it for my radar detector (Cobra iradar) it dies in a few hours if I don't plug it in.

i never have slowness issues or lock ups or battery life issues. Hell i'm even asking for it by running the beta ios. I have about 6gb's of apps on my phone as well and it's an iphone 4 and not even a 4s

I can see where 3GS users would have slowness issues, because it's a 3 year old platform, but anyone else is doing something wrong. :dunno:

But you are a IT genius, so you are probably running some custom app that you control with your guitar that makes your phone run smooth as silk.

oh and tapatalk has been shot down multiple times for our board by IB, even though it's free to implement, allows advertising and is in use by other IB forums.

It's a way better mobile experience and the app is available for almost all mobile platforms.

:rofl:

I don't even jailbreak my phone. I've never really found a need to. I just make sure to delete shit that i don't need and close apps that i don't need open. Any OS needs free space. Most people fill their phones up with useless free apps, music, pictures, and everything under the sun. Then they leave everything open so it's constantly looking for an internet connection, gps signal, or whatever. All this does is use up all available RAM and scratch disk space. I'd imagine it's not just an Apple user issue, but the same for any mobile OS that allows background apps. Users are too dumb to close shit down, then complain that their battery doesn't last for shit, their phone is slow, and their data usage is ridiculously high. Stupid users are what give any mobile OS a bad name. :lol:

I got into jailbreaking back when we were not allowed to do sms's. And since I'm so damn lazy and never want to "re-jailbreak" for a update I usually stay a few behind. Currently running ISO 5.0.1.

well said.

I'll add one more key issue based on my experience owning Android and Apple phones

Make sure you NEVER depend on the service provider to provide the phone OS upgrades. They have little to no incentive to upgrade your current hardware with a new version of OS because they want you to buy a new phone.
Most Android users are stuck in this position while iPhone users are not. Android's success depends on Google addressing this well documented issue.
But iPhone users are limited to one hardware platform choice. I hope Apple addresses form factor choices but it does not seem to impact sales.
As long as you are able to pull updates anytime they are made available by the manufacturer then either system should provide good service for the typical three year contract period. Practical upshot... Buy Apple or "Google" product for the best support/eco system experience.... no guarantee but a good precaution.

I was on Android but for now I'm on an iPhone 4S

I've had an android phone since evo 4g, for the time it came out it wasn't a bad phone. I then had a nexus s 4g and that was a big improvement from the evo and the battery life was amazing. Now I have a Samsung galaxy s3, and sorry no iPhone gets close to how good this phone is. No battery problems at all, my phone can easily last 2 days if needed. Battery life was a problem with older android phone and dumb users who leave GPS, blue tooth, 4g, WiFi... on all the time. If I wanted to I could buy an extra battery for my phone and actually use it. I can buy a micro sd card for more space, I have a 16gb sd plus 16 gb internal. I could have bought a 64gb or 32gb sd card and keep my same phone, no bs with upgrading phone like iPhone. And I don't have to go through rooting or jail breaking my phone to download any app I want for free. Does iPhone have Swype? C'mon. ;)

people still use iPhones?! :dunno:
seriously?
that's soooo 2008

Android still leads the pack in terms of pure penetration — as of this past June, it accounts for 51.8% of smartphones in use (up from 50.4% in Q1 2012) with Apple’s iOS right behind it at 34%.

Don’t feel too bad for Apple though, as they still have the highest smartphone manufacturer share by far (34% in Q2), with Samsung at a distant second.

NetMarketShare’s June report, meanwhile, showed the combination of iPhone and iPad give iOS a peerless position among its mobile computing rivals: 65.27 percent of all mobile phone and tablet computers combined use Apple’s operating system. Android took a distant second place with 19.73 percent.

NetMarketShare’s report also demonstrated the challenge ahead for Microsoft as it prepares to take on the iPad with its new Surface tablet: The company’s two mobile operating systems – Windows Phone and Windows Mobile – combined for just 0.69 percent of the market

We live in interesting times! Blackberry(RIM) and Windows(Microsoft) relegated to the past and a fight surprisingly similar to MS vs. Apple; two computing models but this time in the mobile environment.

Of course Apple could just take over Google with cash on hand... :eek:

Silly question (from an Android user)... how do you close apps on iOS? I thought it basically did that by default when you went back to the home screen on iOS?

Background process are a double edged sword... Obviously many apps run background process to wake up the main process upon some event such as messages or mail or phone calls... but almost every active app will simply drop to background when you press the home button.
It is up to the user to close unwanted apps... Just like it works for OSX, Unix and Windows machines.
Advice to users: Read the manual and stop bitching!

To close any app:
Double click home
press and hold any of the icons shown
tap the red circled minus on the icons you wish to close

I'm running an app called Sys-Activity to track processes, memory use and battery performance.
As configured I have 31 processes running on my iPhone at the minimum. Phone and mail always run plus update processes for latitude, inrix, WiFi, notifiers etc.
Stand-by as configured is 200 hrs
Talk time 14 hrs

Damn guys all I was doing was making some suggestion and this just blew up didn't realize that bring a point (knowing it probably won't happen) would make so much talk but hey keep in going I'm just a teenager and I don't know half of this stuff so I'm learning a lot haha... Keep it up guys

Yeah, phone threads are like oil threads...

Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!

Go Blackberry!

I love my torch

I just upgraded from my curve

awesomeness

:yelrotflm:fruit:

Yeah, right

If you're on a forum you most likely enjoy "discussing" (arguing) about things. :)

:rofl:
I hear the New Blackberry is due out ANY day now... :uhh:

I moved to from a BB Curve to a Razr Maxx. One hell of a learning curve.

:lol:, the Torch should have been named the Turd.

lol what? :icon_bs:

Apple has well over 100 Billion dollars in cash which is more than enough to buy controlling interest in Google
