IPhone - Support for wired remotes

I have been looking all over the place for a wired remote for the iPhone 3G with no luck (and yes I have looked through this forum for an answer before asking my question).
I have attempted to use three wired remotes from my previous iPods, but two of them do not work at all and the third is completely unreliable. It is an Apple branded wired remote for the iPod video with similar design to the iPod Shuffle and allows you to connect your own headphones. It will only function after a hard-reset of the iPhone 3G, and strangely it takes about a minute or two for the buttons to work. If I unplug and replug the remote it will no longer be recognised and will not work again until the iPhone 3G is restarted.
I cannot see any wired remote products in the Apple store and I keep getting blank stares whenever I take this question to sales persons.
I use my iPod extensively and the only reason I bought an iPhone 3G was because I was tired of missing calls whilst listening to mp3s. I consider the wired remote as being essential for satisfactory use when out running, driving the car, etc. Without it the iPod functionally is all but useless to me.
Is there a wired remote that the iPhone 3G supports?

All those views and no responses, eh.
Thanks Apple.
For continuing to throw your loyal customers under the bus and forcing them to buy new accessories with each generation of iPod/iPhone I will never, ever buy another Apple product again.

Is there a wired remote that the iPhone 3G supports?
Additionally, are there any iPhone 3G compatible bluetooth devices that essentially perform the same function and allow you to attach your own headphones?

I've been looking for a decent remote for exactly the same reasons since I bought the 3g iPhone on release day. I settled for the Griffin SmartTalk as it allows you to answer calls, play / pause and skip (forward only meh!). Its cheap as chips (and it looks and feels as such) but it kinda does the job. Still waiting for a decent remote though. And A2DP for crying out loud! Its been long enough already. Then I could get this... http://www.foneshop.com/accessories/description/2486
which I feel is the best solution I've seen!

DMA from host to FPGA target is not supported for this remote system.

I am trying tocommunicate with my FPGA (on the cRIO 9002) from the RTOS. I setup up anOpen the correct VI reference with no error but as soon I try to access thefifo I receive error -63001 and the attached message says:
Error -63001 occurredat Open FPGA VI Reference in target - multi rate - variables - fileIO_old.vi
Possible reason(s):
NI-RIO FPGACommunications Framework: (Hex 0xFFFF09E7) DMA from host to FPGA targetis not supported for this remote system. Use another method for I/O or changethe controller associated with the FPGA target.
What other I/O optionsdo I have to move data asynchronously from the RTOS to the FPGA. I triedcreating memory but it appears that I can not write to the memory from the RTOSside.
We also have a 9012sitting around will using this cRIO instead solve this problem.
I am very very greenwhen it comes to LabView so I apologize if this is an easy question.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As stated in the NI-RIO driver readme,
DMA is not supported from the host to the FPGA on the cRIO-900x series.
The cRIO-901x controller supports DMA transfers from host to FPGA and
FPGA to host while the cRIO-900x series controllers only support FPGA
to host DMA transfers. Therefore, LabVIEW returns an error if you try
to transfer using DMA from the cRIO-900x controller.
The 9012 looks like the ideal solution, you are very lucky to be having extra hardware laying around

No 3G iPhone support for Greek language/keyboard!

Last Friday, the very first day of appearance of iPhone in the greek market, I bought, from a greek Vodafone shop, a 16GB iPhone 3G.
It was quite a bad surprise and disappointment to me, when i realized that greek language was not included and supported in the international language and keyboard package of the device! That makes it the first mobile phone Vodafone provides to the greek market, without supporting greek language! When I mentioned that to Vodafone people, here in Athens, Greece, they blamed Apple for that problem. They said that a new firmware update is expected by Apple, and probably then the problem will be solved!!
So, ladies and gentlemen, is there any information about the availability of greek language/keyboard support for the 3G iPhone?
Thank you for your time

i sen this to support under enhancement request in case anyone is bored of typing:
Hi,
I recently signed a contract with vodafone Greece for 46 € plan (one of the more expensive from the countries that the iPhone is available) in order to get an iPhone 3G 16GB for 430 € (also one of the highest prices of iPhone with a contract) only to find out that there is no Greek Keyboard. This is unacceptable. I don't care for which other countries you have made keyboard or not (although you make sure to rub it in my face) but the essence of the iphone is that it is a tool to have with you all the time and if the is no ability to right in your native language it is rendered useless. The think that is more frustrating is that those who bought the iPhone from abroad (at 1/4 of the price) and jailbroke it have a Greek keyboard, made by Greek hackers/programmers.
Today comes, as i am told the 2.1 firmware update and i sincerely hope that it has the Greek keyboard in it otherwise my (and many other i spoke with that bought the iPhone due to its features and not due to the Apple brand) loyalty to the Apple brand (which is already in bad shape due to the Greek retailer Rainbow) is going to be in jeopardy.
please fix this
thank you

BUSINESS QUESTION - iPhone Support For Advertising

1. As a developer, can I build in support for advertising on the iPhone 3G?
2. If I build an iPhone business application, can I support ADs today? Future?

I think Google should be able to locate ad networks that serve ads in a size supported on the iPhone. I know Google AdSense does but I have a feeling it wouldn't generate many clicks.
You have to have an account with an ad network in order to use their code in any web based application. If you aren't accepted into a network that supports iPhone sized ads, you won't be able to include code beyond a placeholder until you are accepted into a network.

IPhone support for H.264 with B-Frame

Hi All,
In the iPhone documentation, it is mentioned that iphone supports:
- H.264 Baseline Profile Level 3.0 video, up to 640 x 480 at 30 fps. Note that B frames are not supported in the Baseline profile.
Are there plans to support B-frames in the near future ? Do you think iPhone 3G will have B frames supported ?
Thank you very much,
kusno mudiarto

As noted in the above article, support for H.264 in the native HTML5 player on Windows 7 launched 7 weeks ago in Firefox 21.
The forum software detected your Firefox as version 18. Is that correct?
Version 18 is not secure; Mozilla discloses [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html security flaws] after each new release. Is something holding you back from upgrading to Firefox 22? Please let us know so we can suggest solutions or workarounds.

How many playlists will iPhone support for iTunes? I seem to have hit a limit.

I seemed to be capped at 35 playlists in my iTunes on my iPhone. Is this the limit - does anyone know? Thanks.

I don't think so. The iPhone will support more than hundred of playlists. Don't know the exact number.

ITouch / iPhone 3G wired remote???

Does anyone know of a good simple remote available to control iPhone/iTouch? I have seen the Griffin Navigate which has had terrible reviews, iLuv IEA15 which I can't find any reviews of, only pre-release info (and iPhone 3G isn't supported), and there are a handful of other very cheap products all of which have had awful reviews of poor sound and build quality. I have had 7 iPods over the years and have always been able to control them by remote, yet now with my iPod Touch, which I regard to be by far the best iPod, I can't even get a decent remote for it! What is that about?! I know apple headphones come with them now (I have a pair and the remote is perfect - exactly what I'm looking for) but I want to use my superior Bose headphones!
I'm sure if apple released a wired remote it would fly off the shelves. So many people use other headphones.
Any ideas people?

Fandang, Thanks so much for posting your reply ! I cleaned the socket with a cotton swab but that did not fix it. I then took a closer look at the headset socket. On the side you can see 3 tiny metal balls stick out. I carefully used a small pin and pushed each ball in a bit and that fixed it
I bought my iPhone from Italy (all are SIMlock free there) and it would have been a ***** to ship it back to Italy to get it repaired. Thanks again!

I am at Ramstein AB Germany. My iphone screen was smashed badly on the flight to Germany this morning. WHEN I access apple support for this subject it gives me 3 options call now, call me now or call me later. As I am in Germany with no coverage and no working phone none of those options will work. Can you get this e-mail to someone who can help. My iphone serial # is C38xxxxxx. 1) I need to know where and how I can get a replacement somewhere nearby in Germany 2) If 1 is not an option I need to set up an appt to get a to get a new iphone at an apple store in Atlanta GA in the evening of 11 July.
Thank you very much, Phil Edelen
<Edited By Host>

Thanks, my wife is the one serving I am retired and trying to follow her as much as I can.
I will schedule an appt for my next time stateside. I have spent too much time on many Apple web sites trying to get an e-mail to communicate with anyone at Apple to no avail, only phone numbers. I guess if you are overseas with no international access you are out of luck communicating with them. I did find one e-mail address but the reply was computer generated and provided useless links.
If anyone has any e-mail address for anyone at Apple I would appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Phil

Netflix and lack of support for iPhone

Is it just me? I've been trying to stream a movie via netflix on the iPhone 4, however, every time it starts saying Loading Movie... it sort of "crashes" back to the video selection screen. Of course my first thought is to search every support and search engine known to man but that yielded no results. Netflix has no support for the iPhone app on their website at all, why release something when there's no support, isn't that called a beta? Please help if anybody has experienced this problem. Thank you in advance.

I have the same exact problem on my iPod Touch 3rd gen 32GB. On my iPhone 3GS however on the same wifi network everything works fine.
When the iPod Touch first boots up I get the Alert: "Cannot reach netflix.com. Please try again later." (subsequent times, this error is not shown, but the movies still do not play) Pressing ok continues to launch Netflix and shows movie "Like"s and selecting Instant Queue menu has no problem showing my own Instant Queue. The problem occurs when you attempt to Play a movie. Pressing Play results in a message "loading...", then for a brief second the Netflix landscape red screen appears and returns back to where I pressed the Play button.
Tried updating to 4.1 and tried reinstalling Netflix without any luck.

OK, as always I waited before downloading a new OS and I sure glad I did. On the APP store I sorted comments by most critical...and WHOA...what is Apple doing? No support for Logic 9, MS Office? Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP!

Is Apple only trying to reach the iphone/iTouch crowd? HELP! I was going to buy a new Mac pro & two 27" monitors but until I see some real problem addressing by Apple...I'll keep what I have and see how everything pans out. If anyone has any comments to ally my fears, I welcome them. I've been a devoted Mac user since 1993. 7500; G4; G5; and my latest Mac Pro...Where do I go? Again...HELP!

Hi there,
If you look through ALL the reviews, they are mainly good. I feel that Lion is an excellent upgrade, although not essential.
There have been some issues with MS Office, but right now, it is up to Microsoft to issue a Lion compatible update, which will come in time. Saying this, MS Office has been working fine on my mac, it seems to be an isolated issue.
Logic 9 seems like a strange issue. Again, an update looks to be coming soon, with Lion support.
I do not feel that apple only focusing on the iPhone and iPad user base. There are many features carried along, but the machine can still be used for pro tools and use just as well. It still is a fantastic, reliable, fast, easy to use OS, which I have had very few problems with. Some additions you may not use, but they don't get in the way. You will love the new Exposé, Mission Control, as it is great for pro users who have many windows open at once, and the new spaces. You may however, never use Launchpad, but you don't have to, just drag it away from the dock!
I really reccomend buying a mac with Lion, although if you are worried about bugs, wait a few months for the issues to be ironed out, and updates to be given. Because the update is so very cheap, I really think you can hardly go wrong. Try it out with your current mac, and if you like it, go ahead and buy your new ones.
Lion is fantastic, albeit maybe rushed.
Any other queries, just ask,
Nathan

Does the eBooks created by iBooks Author support for iphone now?

I have been read some blogs discussing that the iPhone could gain new support for ebooks made by iBooks Author. And now, I wanna know whether the prediction is true or not. I can' t find any annoucement from Apple to confirm this point. Does anyone answer my confusion.

With the current software ..books created using iBooks Author cannot be viewed on iPhones.
iBooks Author creates books that can only...be used with iPads and on Macs with Mavericks installed, by using iBooks.
Thats it...no rumours. Blogs or to be more accurate...some of those who contribute to them seem to either be totally stupid, or like to make themselves look as if they have inside knowledge.
Apple created iBooks Author to allow self publishers create and publish books to the store. But not just novels or text only type books. iBA made these books allow audio / video ..and much much more than any novel. That being so....most interactive multi media books will not really display well on a screen the size if the iPhone.
Apple are more concerned in getting iPads in use more by business and education at all levels.
The only rumour that may well become fact is a larger sized screen for a bigger iPad mid to late 2014.
