Ashley Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Hmm it appears to drain the battery during the night though :/
SPAMBOT4000 Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Do you not plug your phone in at night though? Alas, tis still annoying that they removed it. Wish they'd just let you use any track as a ringtone also. I know it's piss easy to make a custom ringtone in iTunes but it's just the extra hassle. You can use custom ringtones with the alarm clock if that's any help? Also, anyone running out of space for apps? Not in terms of memory, just pages. Apple need to get their act into gear and add folders. Even folders of a single depth would be better than nowt.

In fact as a general rule I don't leave anything plugged in overnight :p I can carry on using my phone as I do (nothing like Louis XIV screaming about sex to wake you up!) but was just wondering if any solutions existed. I'll just carry on being pissed off at Apple for making a fucking huge moronic decision.
Charlie Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 TimeTuner seems to work quite well for me, Ashley. Also lets you wake up to radio.
Shorty Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 You can use custom ringtones with the alarm clock if that's any help? If that works then where's the problem? Making custom ringtones for free is ridiculously easy, you just copy the song, cut it to 30 seconds, drag it to your desktop, rename the extension to m4r and drag it back in, hey presto, ringtone.
Ashley Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 The problem, for me, is that im on the Touch, not Phone :p And playlists would be preferable for those kind of day's off when I have to get up at a time-ish. I can lay in bed listening to music for a while. Not like when I HAVE to be up at a certain point. (That may only make sense to me) Cheers Charlie, will check it out
stuwii Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Fifa 10 rules- but you cannot search for players on manager mode-fail
stuwii Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 If you have already bought an app then buy the same app again, will you be charged twice?
tapedeck Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 GTA Chinatoon is sublime. Controls are wonderfully mapped too! It's like the DS version with PSP graphics. For the price you can't go wrong neither.

It's like the DS version with PSP graphics.For the price you can't go wrong neither. Got it the other day. Basically, its the superior version for a quarter of the original's price.
SPAMBOT4000 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Yeah it was an absolute instant buy for me. Great game. I reaffirm my love for the iPhone as a gaming platform. Just stunning. So many great original games at bargain prices. This is the future of casual gaming fo sho.
dazzybee Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 It's almost too cheap though. DS and PSP (hang on they can't as it is) won't be able to compete!! Other apps by the way. Sleep Cycle. Bizarre app. Kind of love it. Basically you put it next to your pillow and it monitors how you sleep. Your movement. And tells you how you slept. It will even wake you up at the best time around the time you set your alarm. A time when you're not in deep sleep. Did I recommend tunein radio last time? If not, it's awesome. If you listen to the radio that is. Sccop. Not a bad money saving app. Cost just over a quid though. FLight Control. Good little game for not much money!
SPAMBOT4000 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Ah, weird I got sleep cycle recently too. Did you read the Guardian (I think) article about it? Seems good though I keep forgetting to set it up before I crash. Edit: Re Sccope. How do you find it? Saw it when it was featured and looked interesting but I already have Red Laser which seems pretty similar? Edited January 26, 2010 by SPAMBOT4000
Wesley Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Broken Sword has been released for the iPhone! The polished DS version I assume.
Ashley Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Sleep Cycle sounds like a good idea, but I don't know if I want an app to tell me how badly I sleep. Plus "wakes you up when you're in your lightest sleep" sounds great but what if I have to wake up after little sleep. Surely you could easily overstep the intended time by an hour? (unless there's a 'no greater than 10 minute' clause)
SPAMBOT4000 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Not quite sure what you're asking there... but according to the instructions in the app... It uses a 30 minute window to wake you up in that ends at any time you specify. Apparently you go from light sleep to deep sleep and back again fairly frequently throughout the night.
Ashley Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Yeah I know there's varying depths of sleep but I was saying if, for example, you went out all night and needed to get up 3 hours later you would (most likely) still be in a deep sleep until long after your designated waking up time.

Ahhh! Nah, according to the app you go between deep sleep and really light sleep every couple of hours or so. So although you wouldn't feel completely regenerated after 3 hours, it'd still do it's best to make sure you wake in the lightest sleep possible. Actually, let me just screen grab the graph, easier than me trying to explain.
Ashley Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Ah well I don't trust it for when I need to be awake (I also don't trust myself/my alarm clock as I always worry and don't get enough sleep for fear of not waking up which is stupid I know) but I might try it out for days off when I want to get up earlyish, but there is no rush. Cheers.
Eddage Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Ashley, you have an iPod teach yeah? If so then the new version won't work for you anyway as the touch isn't supported. I just downloaded, shall try it out tonight.
Ashley Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 I do. And oh okay then Sleep Cycle. Fuck you! Thanks Eddage
Cube Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Ah well I don't trust it for when I need to be awake (I also don't trust myself/my alarm clock as I always worry and don't get enough sleep for fear of not waking up which is stupid I know) I've suddenly developed an odd habit where I always wake up 20 minutes before my alarm goes off. I suppose that's what I get for having a slightly buggy phone as my alarm (although the alarm does still work when the phone turns itself off).
McPhee Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Sleep Cycle doesn't quite work. You set your alarm and it'll wake you up any time up to half an hour before. Problem is, if you don't happen to be in a light sleep during that half hour window it just wakes you up anyway. A single sleep cycle is, in theory, roughly half an hour. Some times they can be longer, and under those circumstances Sleep Cycle is worse than useless. I noticed looking at reviews that I'm not alone in this, quite a few people have noticed it. Surely it can't be too difficult for them to just up the sleep window to 40 minutes or something?
