Ipod Touch / Iphone

[EdipisReks]

i use my old USB pocketdock to charge my phone sometimes, but i've never actually tried the lineout. i'll give it a shot sometime. i do get a little popup when i plug it in saying that the pocketdock wasn't made for the iPhone and that there might be extra noise present, or some such. charges fine, though.

I've got an old SikDin, I've never even tried it.

Okay, it has to be entirely in software, because it's the same exact cables.

The Sik Din works with my Touch, but doesn't with my iPhone unfortunately (audio wise).

As for current cables working on all models, I thought the cables were backwards compatible (not past cables not forward).

The iphone wants there to be something "authorizing" it to work, basically.

Yeah. Feel bad for those iPod speaker owners including a couple friends. One of the moves lately I don't agree with Apple on.

For those looking, it appears the SendStation PocketDock USB is setup for iPhones.

Okay, so maybe the resistor is "cheating" by sending it this signal from one of the power lines? Maybe it's just a single DC signal...well, it has to be something simple like that, if the AV cables work with it, which apple says it does.

my old sendstation pocketdock kinda works as a line out (i just tried it). kinda works in that it passes sound, but it makes everything sound like really low bitrate MP3s played back in a fishbowl. neat!

Interesting, if uncorroborated, article about the hardware differences between the latest iPhone and iPod Touch. Apparently the Touch processor runs significantly faster than the iPhone.

has to be because of battery life, and if needed, i'm sure a firmware update is all that's necessary to give it a bump

wat are u people talking about? line out or charging?

line out is when you connect pins 1 and 11 together i think, there should be a thread on how to make it here or a post in this thread linking you to HEADFI talking about it.

its easy if you want to make ur own connector, or if your lazy like me have Germania make you one. I listened to her lod on my iphone at the event and it seemed good enough to me.

as far as charging the 3g is a question. some docks do and some docks don't. i have a cheapo dock at the bar that will play the line out but it wont charge it.

as to why you get the yes and no screen..
it acts just as a warning to you that the iphone may cause buzz threw the speakers, wish there was a way to finally turning it off in settings but i understand completely why apple does pop it up every time you plug it in.

i have the ihome alarm clock that i use to charge my 3g by my bed at night and it always asks the question, yet the bastard is approved for iphone 3g..wtf!

Checked out the wireless podcasting functionality on the 2.2 update last night. Pretty cool. I've recently put Sirius/Stern on hiatus as I'm giving various Podcast shows (This American Life, The Moth, New Yorker, Onion News Network, Selected Shorts, TEDTalks) a try for daily commute and this option, even with some requirements on wifi use for >10MB files and an unusual workflow, is definitely a plus towards keeping the iPhone/Touch filled with content. Great to grab a show for the road at the last second without starting up the computer. Give it a try if you haven't.

Even if it is a rather appropriate substitution.

[Icarium]

It's not even a good auto complete. It is more like an auto correct that is mega lame. I hated it. My only beef besides shitty 3g coverage.

[Sherwood]

I disabled 3g on day 4 and never looked back. Thanks god I found "remote" or I would have broken this thing and used its parts to start a life-giving fire long ago. As it stands, I love it endlessly. So, in short, remote is wonderful.

[grawk]

If you've turned off 3g, why not sell it and get a 1st gen and pay $10 less a month?

[naamanf]

3G works so much better than the Edge. Why would you turn it off?

[grawk]

Apparently 1 in 10 3g iphones has SERIOUS problems in 3G. If you call AT&T they can do an OTA update that may fix it.
