Apple Apps Aggervate

By harold on in iPhone. Permalink.

I have been trying to sort out the mess of many things technical and logistical this week so it saddens me most that the iPhone App experience still suffers from it’s toxic new car smell.

I have had to Restore and or delete/resync all 3rd party Applications twice since 2.0.1. My problem is known according to searchs. Apps start and run for a second then exit. If you are lucky a hard reset will fix this issue and you are ok. My experience since 2.0.1 has been that more drastic time consuming measures are needed as outlined above.

There was a commonality surrounding both incedents. I think that the Twitter client Tinkle and failed attempts to query my location followed by a hard reset created the situation. Right after Twinkle breaking down the map app can no longer get any sort of fix.

If the issue reoccurs it will not be Twinkles fault. It and many others were deleted completely in tonights restore,sync,setup drill. I will say that short of having to XML hack the disable backup button. The process is maybe a little neater then formatting Microsoft or RIM devices if I was looking for something good to say.

Which is not a good thing. My Apple IPhone experience has been a kin to my Windows Mobile since 2003 and more recent Blackberry OS adventures.

Things are more awkward and painful then expected. Apple really said something when indicating copy/paste was low priority; there are major bugs and issues yet to be solved in it’s micro-computer code platform.

  • About Me

    In the 1980′s I discovered computing and began tenaciously typing in BASIC programs from the back of magazines.
    After nearly thirty years a computer has rarely been out of my reach. The focus of my work has been in software programming evolving from QuickBasic through VisualBasic, C++, and in the 1990′s as the Internet exploded into the mainstream I began a career working with HTML, CSS, PHP & Javascript. Along the way I graduated from college, worked within the government for a decade and assimilated a wide array of knowledge and experience.

    While I work primarily as a web developer my continuing interest in problem solving keeps me current in many areas of computer and consumer technology. If you have a problem with a computer, device or just want to learn more; it is assured that I can help you find the answers and solutions you seek. It'a a great thing for me to help people get beyond their technical trouble.
