iPhone 3G GPS not working for you?

by Neil Middleton 9:36 pm Wednesday, 30 July 2008.

Here at Monochrome towers we’ve all been having great fun with the new iPhone 3G launched a couple of weeks back.  It’s an interesting little device that brings a whole new side to rich internet application development – a truly portable device that supports 3G and location based services, all wrapped up in a really slick UI layer.  I’m sure it won’t be long before we start experimenting with it fully.

However, we did have an issue with one of the units we had where it was not recognising it’s location via the built in GPS.  We’d hit the little target button in Maps and nothing would happen – not a sausage.

After a fair while of tinkering we hit upon the solution.  We’d done plenty of reboots and restores with no avail, ad finally managed to solve it by pure fluke.

What we found was that if we hit the target button in Maps and left the phone just sat outside for a good 15 minutes, it found us, and from that point on worked like a dream, tracking our position to within a few metres reliably.  Apparently Apple are resolving this issue in a 2.0.1 update that is coming within the next couple of weeks, but if you’re having trouble now – here’s your fix.

Feed-Squirrelr?

by Neil Middleton 3:39 pm Thursday, 24 August 2006.

What is it with this current trend with dropping the “e” in web app names such as Flickr and Frappr?

Is there any point to it at all or is it just “cool”?

Voo2do

by Neil Middleton 4:30 pm Friday, 11 August 2006.

I just thought I would post a quick note to “big-up” a site that I have been using today (and collegues for a while) that really rocks my boat in terms of Web 2.0 being useful.

Basically Voo2Do is a task management tool in the same sort of vein as ta-da et al. I won't go into details about how it works and what you can do as thats all on the site, but I can wholeheartedly recommend signing up and trying out.

…and before you ask, No, I'm not being prompted to say this, I'm doing it off my own back…
