Homenagem Ana Picasso

Agora parti-me a rir com pessoal na Zwame que está a experimentar a Beta do iOS6.

A Apple parece que retirou a possibilidade de escolher 2G ou 3G. Fica sempre em 3G e pronto.

Acontece que algum pessoal que estava no iOS5 em modo 2G, ao actualizar para o iOS6, continuaram em 2G, e o Toggle para mudar já não existe :lol:

[Perks]

Se o pessoal é capaz de instalar uma developer version, também é capaz de fazer um restore, acho eu

[jr_cardoso]

Óbvio, é o que dá, afinal, é uma beta para devs mas a comunidade JB arranjou logo uma forma de ultrapassar isso (para além de já ter feito JB ao mesmo, incrível), mas o Rev acha que isto é tudo bom para tentar deitar abaixo, lol...

Onde é que é para deitar abaixo? Eu sei muito bem que basta fazerem um restore, mudar para 3G, e voltar a instalar o iOS6. E foi o que fizeram.

Apenas achei piada à situação. E um pouco de piada igualmente a mais uam vez a Apple obrigar os utilizadores a usar algo, neste caso o 3G. Que por acaso, não percebi o que ganham ou perdem se deixarem o utilizador escolher.

[jr_cardoso]

a versão é beta, só tem algumas features, provavelmente para aquilo que foi disponibilizado aos devs foi apenas com o 3G, logo, não vejo qual o problema.

[PunK_BoY]

És de cagar a rir Rev.

[Perks]

Por acaso agora percebi o que o Rev quis dizer, era um enorme tiro no pé, tirar esse toggle, mas não acredito

Supostamente isto sai amanhã, certo? Pode-se fazer o update sem qualquer problema ou é necessário aguardar primeiro que seja jailbroken? E ao fazer o update, o que perco?

Se queres jailbreak para o 4s vais esperar uns meses. Amanha deve estar disponível ao final da tarde mas os servidores devem ficar logo todos entupidos, se queres ir já para o iOS 6 aguarda mais 1 ou 2 dias. No update se fizeres copia de segurança( nem tenho a certeza que seja necessário, mas por precaução é sempre bom) não perdes nada, a não ser o jailbreak claro e tudo o que tenhas a ele associado.

Ou seja, não vale a pena fazer o update enquanto não houver JB.

Pá depende, se o jb é mesmo indispensável para ti, sim, aguarda porque pode demorar bastante! Eu já ando ha umas semanas com iOS 6 e estou a sobreviver bastante bem :lol:

[JP--]

Ou seja, para quem anda a querer fazer JB easy, façam-no hoje!

Neste momento com o redsn0w 0.9.14b2 mesmo um 4Gs é só ligar ao cabo e clicar em "Jailbreak", é uma questão de minutos e nem restore é preciso fazer.

O meu problema é com algumas apps que uso com alguma frequência e o SBSettings.

Será que já dá para enviar emails com anexos? :trollface:

Para as apps não há solução, eu vou comprando as essenciais sempre que aparecem promos de 79cent para poder não estar tão dependente do jb. Já no iPad as apps sao mais caras, esse fica com 5.1 até sair jb.

O sbsettings é uma questão de habito, da jeito, mas no iOS 6 o Bluetooth por exemplo ta logo no 1o ecrã das settings, já ajuda.

Bluetooth mal uso. Queria mesmo era os outros toggles. Vou ter que aguardar.

[Revenge]

Mas porque dizem que vai demorar meses a sair JB? Normalmente costumam ser rápidos a hackar isso. O iOS6 beta já não tem JB?

Há tethered, até ao iPhone 4. O untetthered do iOS 5 demorou vários meses, e só nessa altura foi possível para o 4s, iPad 2 e 3.

New Apple maps app under fire from users

Inaccuracies and misplaced towns and cities in Apple's new map software have provoked anger from users.

In June Apple announced it would stop using Google Maps in favour of its own system, created using data from navigation specialist TomTom.

Apple is yet to comment on the complaints about the software, which comes already installed on the new iPhone.

TomTom said it provided only data and was not responsible for how it worked.

The software is packaged with iOS6, the latest version of Apple's operating system, which runs on the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

Previously, the system had an app running mapping software from Google.

But users are now forced to use Apple's new maps once they upgrade or buy the latest iPhone - which goes on sale on Friday.

There is not currently a Google Maps app available in Apple's App Store, although Google's system is still accessible via the phone's web browser.

Museum in river

Among the user complaints regarding Apple's maps sent to the BBC were:

Users have complained about the quality of satellite images in the new software (bottom)

• Some towns appear to be missing, such as Stratford-upon-Avon and Solihull.
  
• Others, like Uckfield in East Sussex, are in the wrong location.
  
• Satellite images of various locations, particularly in Scotland, are obscured by cloud.
  
• A search for Manchester United Football Club directs users to Sale United Football Club, a community team for ages five and above.
  
• Users also reported missing local places, such as schools, or strange locations. Another screenshot showed a furniture museum that was apparently located in a river.
  

TomTom, which also licenses data to a range of other mobile manufacturers, defended its involvement.

A spokesman told the BBC that its maps provided only a "foundation" to the service.

"The user experience is determined by adding additional features to the map application such as visual imagery," a spokesman said.

"User experience fully depends on the choices these manufacturers make.

"We are confident about our map quality, as selling 65 million portable navigation devices across the world and more than 1.4m TomTom apps for iPhone in the past two years reaffirms this quality."

Prior to the release of iOS6, several developers had expressed concerns over the capability of the mapping app, in particular its ability to find businesses via search.

"This is incredibly different from using Google Maps," one Denver-based blogger wrote on 13 September.

"It's a tremendous step backwards and something that cripples iOS for Apple's customers.

"I [searched] 'iPhone Repair' and 'iPad Repair' since that's relevant to our business. The results broke my heart.

"All of the work I've put into our local recognition is completely gone."

Apple’s Maps App: Just How Bad Is It?

Apple’s iOS 6 update is almost a day old, and for iPhone and iPad users, there’s much to love about this newborn. Despite a few odd glitches, it’s a solid update. Everything seems to run faster, use less battery life, and there are all sorts of easter eggs (such as the delightful Panorama feature) waiting to be uncovered.

But if you’re still waiting to upgrade, chances are it’s for the one reason I heard over and over from iOS users Wednesday: you’re reluctant to let go of the Google Maps app.

Google Maps is replaced as the default in iOS 6 by Apple’s own Maps. (Google has indicated it will bring out its own iOS app, though it doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to release it.)

Condemnation of Maps was swift and fierce. The lack of transit directions irked many. Entrepreneur Anil Dash unleashed a blistering attack on his blog, pointing out how many addresses in New York the app either got wrong or couldn’t find (such as Bloomberg HQ).

A parody Twitter account, @iOS6Maps, was created, and just as swiftly removed by Twitter. Though screenshots remain:

I really hoped I could say this criticism was unwarranted. Maps is a beautiful-looking app, with 3-D buildings and satellite imagery to rival anything in Google Earth. Turn-by-turn directions are provided by GPS industry leader TomTom.

Apple bought three mapping companies to make this happen, and has had years to refine it. How bad could it be?

The answer, I’m sad to say as an Apple fan, is very bad indeed. Almost unusably bad. Maps takes all the trust Apple has built up among its users over the years — trust that its products just work — and squanders nearly all of it in one go. SEE ALSO: Top Transit Map Replacement Apps for iOS 6

Case in point: the screenshot at the top of this story. The first time I saw this, I thought it must be New Orleans, not downtown San Francisco.

Did you know San Fran had a French Quarter? It doesn’t; it’s an overambitious nickname for one alley with a bunch of French restaurants in it. Yet when you zoom out, the more important surrounding names, Union Square and the Financial District, vanish.

The French Quarter remains, writ large — along with other neighborhood names that are rarely used, such as “Intermission” and Showplace Square. Was Apple this desperate to be different?

SEE ALSO: The World According to Apple Maps

And that’s the least of the problems on this particular map. Check out the traffic. Google gives you four levels of it on every street: red, yellow, green for clear, blank for no information. Apple gives you a scant few red dotted lines.

Maps does a great job of alerting you to traffic accidents and roadwork, to be sure. Google doesn’t do that. Score one for Apple. But that information is useless without a more granular display of what these events are doing to traffic.

We look to real-time traffic to give us the full picture of our options when plotting a route. By omitting the orange traffic (which, for all we know, could be clogging every other road downtown), Maps takes essential information out of the driver’s hands.

This is one area where the Apple design aesthetic — remove as much as you can — does more harm than good.

SEE ALSO: iOS 6 is Out Now: Here’s What to Do First

The integration of Yelp reviews is a nice touch, though a little useless without the search functions of the actual Yelp app. It’s nice to know there’s a cheap 3.5 star Thai restaurant on the corner, say, but wouldn’t you prefer to know that there’s a cheap five-star Thai place two blocks away?

It’s also odd to see which Yelp reviews are visible when zoomed out. Potrero Hill, for example, is a neighborhood dotted with fantastic restaurants and stores. What’s the first thing Maps wants to show you? A local GP called the House Doctor.

Getting Lost

The more I look at the map, the more errors and odd choices I see. Here’s a biggie: the Walt Disney Family Museum, a hit with tourists, is shown downtown — instead of where it really is, seven miles away in the Presidio. Whoops!

Something else that’s a hit with tourists: proper orientation. When I pointed my phone at the Ferry Building and double-tapped the locator icon, the map swung around as if I were pointing away from the Ferry Building.

You’d laugh, but for all the iPhone-toting tourists who are likely to get lost this way it’s no laughing matter.

Turn, Turn, Turn

Then there’s the turn by turn directions — which are going to be very useful, for a certain kind of driver. One who likes to be constricted and instructed, one step at a time.

Personally, I’d gotten used to skipping one or more directions ahead in Google Maps, especially for those tricky freeway exits. With directions and pictures together, I stood a good chance of memorizing the route and being able to put the phone away altogether.

Maps, bizarrely enough, has divorced the directions from the pictures. You can either get a list of the turns, or see the whole map without turn descriptions, but never the twain shall meet.

When Siri reads you directions on the phone, you can’t skip forward until you’ve physically reached the next location. (You do get the option to skip ahead on the iPad version of Maps — but not on the phone.)

SEE ALSO: How Google Builds Its Maps

This is Apple, of course, a company that likes to iterate until it gets a product right. So I have absolutely no doubt that Maps is going to get better. I can’t wait to see how it looks in a few updates’ time.

It’s just that the problems are so numerous, Maps may never have a chance to prove itself before Google comes back strong. The search giant will soon release its iOS version, probably after just enough time has passed for us all to try Apple’s Maps and pronounce it DOA.

When it comes down to it, this was an odd area for Apple to try to compete in. Google has a head start of about a decade when it comes to mapping technology, not to mention Street View (which is nowhere in Maps).

And if you doubt how obsessively the search giant tweaks its own maps, probably more than any other Google product, read this story. Neither company is sitting on its laurels here.

Parece que do iOS 5 para o 6, existe um grande downgrade. A substituição do Google Maps pelo Maps da Apple.

[JP--]

Já se estava a espera, a Google nisso está anos à frente.

Vou continuar a dar uso ao belo do TomTom

[X-static]

A TomTom tem mapas brutais. O gps do carro dum colega meu até os acessos aos lugares de estacionamento daqui do trabalho tem.

Ainda assim, a nível de mapas o Ndrive(TMN Drive) está bem à frente em Portugal.

E tem uma coisa muito boa que falta no TomTom(Ou faltava quando testei a ultima vez), a Ex-Scuts, para o TomTom não têm Portagens.

[systemoff]

DEsde que saiu o Tmn drive nunca mais usei outra coisa.
