iPhone 5 Bluetooth problems pairing with BMW
Got my new iPhone 5 last week. Need to test my apps on the latest device…..
Couldn’t get it to sync to my wife’s 1 series. Looking on internet loads of people seem to have the same problem. Some suggest its a naming problem, some a bug that needs fixing. Have to admit i was quite annoyed for a while – it would just hang at the passcode stage. However I decided to try the old turn it off and on again trick – actually i did a hard reset – and whoa it worked first time. Paired no problems. I remember when the first iPhone came out a load of people said it was worth rebooting it every now and again but I got out of the habit. Bizarrely Ive been having a problem with printing on my iMac that rebooting cured. That hadnt been rebooted for about 6 months. Perhaps i should do it every now and again!

iMCQs for London market essentials 1 uploaded
Just spent the day finishing LM1 questions written by Peter Thomson-Glover
Uploaded to Apple this evening.
Over 500 downloads so far and more bugs fixed….
Thanks to Australian Doctor M.C. Schieb, FRACP, Sydney, Australia, who posted detailed notes on minor bugs/typos on our existing questions – I pulled the upload that was waiting for review – and have uploaded a new version thought still called v1.1 with all his spotted bugs removed. Largely my fault – in that some of the copying and pasting of questions and answers into the database went wrong in places and after a while you get word blind to errors and need a third party to review them.
v1.1 Prep4Finals uploaded
ive just uploaded v1.1 to apple.
it included 20 new Qs, 10 in derm and 10 in psychiatry.
It also has a few bug fixes to layout and formatting and takes on
229 downloads day 1 & bugs found and fixed!
The good news is Prep4Finals had 229 downloads on day 1!
The even better news is ive found and fixed the menu bug but Doh! it was a stupid mistake.
Because i added the code that showed how many questions you had got right and had answered at the last minute – i forgot that on the menu items that dont have it – you cant just say nothing – you have to clear it.
so my fixed code becomes:
switch (indexPath.row) {
case 0:
cell.textLabel.text = @”Instructions & Introduction”;
cell.detailTextLabel.text = @””;
break;
case 1:
cell.textLabel.text = @”About Us & Release Notes”;
cell.detailTextLabel.text = @””;
break;
case 2:
cell.textLabel.text = @”Courses & adverts”;
cell.detailTextLabel.text = @””;
break;
default:
break;
}
with the bolded lines being added to clear the cells subtitle on the row that don’t need a subtitle.
Ive also fixed a couple of other formatting errors on a couple of pages.
I plan to upload before the weekend the new version to Apple – however i will see if I can get some extra questions added first. If not then I’ll do those next week.
Prep4Finals out!
Yes Prep4Finals is out!
I’ve downloaded it toa fresh machine and it seems to work fine…..
However I’ve noticed a couple of little bugs…
Why the front menu has gone wrong I’m not sure and will look at later…
There are a couple of text formatting errors that need correcting but they are minor.
Basically for speed I did the text in a UItextview which is simple but doesn’t allow much formatting.
My ultimate aim is to move It to a UIWebview so I can use full HTML formatting. I. Might just correct the little errors first though…..
Prep4Finals approved by Apple!
After 10 days in a queue Prep4Finals has been approved by Apple.
I’ve set launch date to be tomorrow Friday 19th hopefully to catch people for the weekend.
The guys have set up a Facebook page and a twitter feed both under the name prep4finals
Hopefully it gets a load of downloads
