Stop me if you've heard this one before. When I learned that Multitasking was for iPhone 3G S and up, I assumed my ancient 3G was being left out in the cold. Then I upgraded to iOS 4 and strange things began to happen. I can't access the task switcher (or whatever you may call it) but, to my surprise, one of my apps is sending me offline notifications when it is closed. Was this advertised? Did anyone else know about this? Shot in the dark: is this notifyd at work? Are there any other processes allowed to run in the background?
You now...all iPhone have multitasking but it's only for apple apps for example you can download an a podcast while doing other things......but as for other apps....I'm not sure
The app I am talking about (NotifyMe2) is from the App Store. I wrote to their support and got this reply:
iOS 4 introduced local push notifications to compliment remote notifications. NotifyMe2 appears to be compatible with iOS 4 only now, and states that it takes advantage of local notifications.
Until the next OS update comes round... I used to jailbreak faithfully. I eventually got fed up with constantly waiting for new JBs, redoing all my JB apps (or backing them up) and all the rigmarole involved. Though there are a few things I wouldn't mind using from the JB scene, I'm frankly much happier without the hassle.
Okay, you can stay. But I will remind you this is not a jailbreaking discussion. I would like to know what Apple is allowing developers to run in the background on my iPhone 3G.
Then I suggest you change your thread title to something more descriptive, by putting ' iPhone 3G' and 'multitasking' next to each other, you're just begging for a jailbreak discussion.
This is not posted in the jailbreaking section, derek. Also, there is no confusion if you actually read my first post.
I never said there was any confusion in your first post. I stand by what I said earlier though, your thread title isn't descriptive. Jeezus don't get butthurt.
Same here, I unjailbreaked a week or two before iOS 4, and my iPod Touch ran MUCH smoother and didn't lose as much battery (until iOS 4 came out that is) and those things overweighed 5 icon dock and 5 X 5 icons and themes of course.
