Does googletalk auto log you out after so many hours? I just set my inactive time to 24 hours but I wasn't sure if i gotta relog into it every once in a while with beejive because that would suck :(

I got a notification that I was logged out of Google and Facebook since I set it for an hour so I think it will tell you when you're logged out.

So, does anyone know if I can get my Google Maps locations stuff synced with iPhone Google Maps?

Quoting this for the new page, and while I'm at it I'll throw another related question. Is there any real, seamless way to take a photo with the camera, and be able to pin it's geotag location in Google Maps? Say, if I wanna remember a location to come back to with my real camera or something.

Every photo taken with the iPhone camera is geotagged (if you didn't disable that). If you have something like iPhoto 09 with the Places feature you'll be able to see them on a map there when you import them. I don't think you're able to do anything like that on the phone itself though (at least not without a third party app).

Actually you could use AirMe to upload iPhone pics to Picasa and then access those via Safari and see them in Maps. Pretty sure I've done this.
 
Woo hoo!! AIM with push is a godsend... I wish the notifications used the user nickname as opposed to the screenname. I don't even recognize or know some of my buddy's screennames, haha...
 
Does anyone else think that the iphone single handily brought mobile gaming out of the gaming ghetto? The reason why I ask this is because I have bought more mobile games from the app store, along with apps than I have with any other phone. I remember buying a bowling game for my Sprint phone years ago and played it about 4 times then forgot about it. Now you heard about people making a simple app or game for iTunes and making a killing with it. I'd also like to add that I haven't had much fun with mobile game before the playing them on the iphone.
 
Did they ever get push gmail fixed up?
When are they going to fix the 'slide to view screen' so that it can also display reminders and so forth?

Gmail still doesn't support push-imap, and the Google exchange servers only support push contacts and calendars...come on google, just flip that switch!

I just had someone send me an IM and it pushed right through to my iPhone home screen. Fuckin sweet!

EDIT: Weird, I've got my iPhone IM app and Pidgin open on my desktop right now and IMs are going straight to the iPhone but not to my desktop. Shouldn't it go to both? Must remember to turn Push off when I'm at my desk :D

It all depends on your status.

If you were Away at your desk and Available on your iPhone, you only get them on your iPhone
If you're Away on the iPhone and Available at your desk, you only get them at your desk.
If you're Away at both, or Available at both, you get messages at both.

Best way to do it is to have AIM set you as Away, and just toggle your status at your desk to determine whether you get repeats on your phone or not.
 
I migrated from Gmail to Ymail because of this. It's really disappointing that Gmail isn't push but I found that I like Ymail on PC a bit better and that the push is pretty good so I'm ok in the end, the migration process was just annoying.

It's bullshit, Yahoo mail has supported push almost since day one.

Yahoo's push blows, however.

edit: well the above poster had a different experience but mine wasn't that great, maybe they've improved it now.
 
I'm getting disconnected from AIM in BeeJive a lot within the last hour. Anyone else having issues? I hope this stuff smooths out cuz right now I don't have any faith in the reliability of the app. I just want to be logged in all the time and not worry about if I'm on or not or if my messages are coming through or not.

Everyone's mileage seems to vary. I don't have any issues with it but others say it takes 10 minutes to never to get an email.

Push doesn't seem to work on my aim client are yall using the free one or the paid aim app? Do you have to be on AT&T for it to work?
Click to expand...

I don't use AIM, but did you update it to the latest version from the App Store? And are you running OS 3.0?

I haven't been using it recently, but I was using it earlier tonight (about 4 hours ago?) and everything was rock solid.

yeah on 3.0, deleted old app and downloaded from app store. checked settings too and push is enabled for aim.
 
OMG.

My girlfriend decided to surprise me today with a shiny new 16GB iPhone. She happened to be in an Apple Store, and snagged the last two! The downside-I have to wait until Thursday when I get back into town to play with it. :(
 
Sean said:

Click to expand...

Ya, I'm running 3.0 for both the OS and BeeJive. It's just been really flakey since the update. Push IM has been a pretty important feature for me so I'm a bit disappointed with the unreliablity so far. I'm willing to chalk it up to launch rough edges since it just got released but I really do hope it smooths out over the next few days.
 
Push and the update to 3.0 on BeeJive is pretty cool but the unresolved bugs in BeeJive are really starting to annoy me. For a paid app it should be a lot better. A lot better.

Not just a paid app, but a high priced paid app.

Pretty sure he was talking about the AIM app there, not BeeJive..
 
Hmm. 3.0 seems a little flakey to me. Sometimes my 3G runs into these weird non-responsive moments, like it missed detecting my finger on a few consecutive unlock attempts, and while watching a TV show it just locked out the tap-to-show-UI function for awhile. Nothing consistent, just feels like burps in the OS.

Anybody else running into stuff like this much?

I had this happen tonight. I closed the iPod app and reopened it and it was fine. /shrugs

Like you said, hopefully just a burp.
 
Christ, this wait for my 32gb is unbearable. I can't even bring myself to look at this piece of shit Sprint phone I have.

I bet I got you beat.

Had the T-Mobile Dash a while ago. It was bearable, and small. Lost it twice in 2 shitty incidents in like, 2 months. Insurance didn't cover it (Why'd I pay for it, again?) so I got a free loaner phone.

I vowed not to make it permanent. I didn't let myself save any numbers, going just on recent calls and texts as a reference. It was horrible.

Luckily the dark days are behind me. :lol

Okay people are experiencing the issues I have been..

I also run into the screen not responding on the slide to unlock sometimes and sometimes my whole screen just becomes unresponsive until I knock it into sleep mode then back out.

Maybe it is an OS issue and not a 3GS issue that I thought it was..

Either way I still have an appt with an apple genius on Thursday about this.

By the way.. My iPhone was around to 60MB free memory.. "Free Memory" app wasn't clearing it up so I rebooted my phone and now its back to 160.. crazy how much memory the 3GS has..

Either way.. 60MB is still more then some instances with the 3G so I was just curious how it'd look if I rebooted :lol
 
Here's a question for last.fm users. For the longest time I was under the impression that the iPhone couldn't be scrobbled, however recently upon connecting the iPhone my last.fm client has popped up with a box asking to scrobble however many tracks I had listened to, which was awesome and unexpected. My problem is that this only seems to happen sometimes, and I have no idea what I did or didn't do to get it to scrobble my tracks.

Any advice?

Yeah it's just an OS issue. I wouldn't bother with the genius bar appointment since that dude will probably just tell you the same thing.

This happened last year too btw - there was a ton of annoyances and quirks with the 2.0 update and it took Apple like two or three months (and several updates) to squash all the bugs. Just take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_OS_version_history#2.x to see the type of stuff that was wrong. Major things like the keyboard hanging, apps crashing constantly, syncing was taking hours for some people, shitty 3G reception, etc. While the 3.0 update may have a few quirks it's really stable in comparison to what people went through last year :lol

Maybe I'm missing what "push" entails, but I have my Pre set to "as emails arrive" on my gmail account and I get my emails instantly...are you talking about something else?
 
So... I updated BeejiveIM enabled push notications. Double checked everything and.... it just doesn't fucking work.


><
I am so fed up with all this bullshit. I am sick of this stupid ass limited OS.

If anyone has problems with their phone activating, try https://www.wireless.att.com/activations/ and then rebooting the phone.

I waited around 10 hours for the phone to activate. Finally tried that site and it worked soon as I rebooted.
Click to expand...

Yeah, that's the site ATT uses for every single other phone besides the iphone to activate. Pop in the phone number, agree to the contract and it automatically swaps the info and activates it in their billing system.

The OS isn't to blame for this, it's Beejive, as several users have push working and there is an unknown variable at play. One of the main suspects is your network dropping to EDGE, but that's not confirmed. Temporarily turning off and re-activating 3G seems to fix it for some. Doesn't help me since I don't have a 3G, but... hey, whatever.

yeah i know this problem. Don't know what to to. But i do once a week a "manual scrobble" of my tracks.

LastFm->help->diagnostics->ipod scrobbling-> "i manage my ipod by myself" ... scrobble.

Dont know, why lastfm messed up scrobbles :/

I forgot to mention I kept postposing getting an iPhone (3G) and then ended up waiting for the 3GS (Well, WWDC). How long, you ask? How long did I have that marvelous piece of technology? Probably 9 months or so. *sigh*

Like I said, dark days behind me. :lol
