Welcome to my iPhone mobile blog

Hello all,
My name is Adam, aka "Dr-Adam" and I started this website iWishItDaily.com to post my daily rantings and ravings about the iPhone. I'll be publishing them live from my iPhone to this website, for you all to read and comment on, or complain...or call me an idiot if you wish...
it still won't slow my propeller hat down any. heheh
Oh, and I
plan to also include daily screenshots of different apps and such as well.
Hope you enjoy it!

iPhone Screenshot problem - blinking screen with black bars

This Screenshot application has completely messed up my phone.
When I go into applications the touch screen stops working.
When I try to put the phone in standby the screen only
dims instead of going off (wasting the battery).
When I put it on the charger the screen starts blinking with
black and white stripes. (Looks just like this:

)
This last one makes me think this is some kind of joke
related to the phrase "jailbroken".
Even after attempting to reboot the phone the madness doesn't end.

Someone else (iphonecrazzy) summed it up perfectly:
"phone booted...Eureka..everything normal but strangely still
the wicked screenshot icons where still visible...
as if laughing at me saying didnt we screw ur happiness??..."

My thoughts exactly. You can read the rest here:

Someone needs to put a stop to this bad app..

How this lousy Screenshot app messes up your phone:
1. Sleep/wake button doesn't work right. Screen only dims for me
2. Power off with the sleep/wake button doesn't stop the
screenshot application from running. It is still running when you
power back up. This is not right. It is almost like it is only
faking a power down with the apple screen somehow.
3. Sometimes when using the sleep button you end up with
a black blinking screen (which you can only tell it's doing that
in certain light). Another battery waster for sure.
4. Hard reset by holding the sleep button and the home button for
a number of seconds can cure most of these goofy hangups....as
long as you are sure it is all the way off. Once it is off completely,
leave it off for 10 minutes before rebooting.
5. After rebooting the floating screenshot icons should be gone.
If they are gone then you can safely go to Installer and uninstall
the Screenshot application.

If you are anywhere near as annoyed as me, please contact them at:

And tell them Dr Adam sent you.

iPhone Screenshot program sucks

The iPhone Screenshot program sucks.
The iPhone Screenshot program sucks!
Let me make myself clear....
The iPhone Screenshot program by Robota Softwarehouse sucks!
It will freeze your phone up and make it useless.
You will have flashing black and white bars/lines with the apple
symbol in the background. You touch screen will stop working in
applications.
Screenshot flashing screen of death. You can see it here:

iPhone voice recognition

Now that's what I was wishing for... Voice recognition for the
iPhone.
Still a little buggy but it rocks already!

iPhone Listen music recognition app

I sure wish this app would work. It never manages to connect to its
server. Never has. Bummer. Maybe because I don't use Edge???
The iPhone Listen app is an awesome idea if it would only work.
