iPhone Tips And Tricks: Bluetooth audio


SoundGate iOTALK1 2-speaker Bluetooth audio

The iPhone is already assured to be one of the best-selling Apple products of all time, and its launch is being awaited by millions of consumers around the world. Even though the iPhone has not actually been released yet, there are a number of iPhone tips and tricks that will come in handy learning now.

iPhone Tips and Tricks

When it comes to iPhone tips and tricks, one of the best involves how you can make the low ringer on the iPhone louder. This is important because in fact one of the most common complaints about the iPhone is that it has such a low ringer volume. If you are one of the many people who finds this to be a problem, then at least there are iPhone tips and tricks you can use to do something about it.

You can easily resolve this issue by using a custom ringtone rather than those already available on the device, and make sure that the ringtone you choose is a loud, high frequency audio.

Another great tip involves how you can watch Google videos over your iPhone, and the process required here is incredibly easy as well. Since the iPhone’s Safari browser did not support Flash, the Apple Company therefore had to come up with a new application for the device which would allow streaming video to play on it, and yet it does not work on Apple’s new application.

You can however find various YouTube videos that give you step by step guides of the trick that is required to watch Google videos right from your iPhone.

Another of the best iPhone tips and tricks involves streaming audio from your iPhone to your Bluetooth headset. This is another important issue because many people were very disappointed when they learned that Bluetooth’s A2DP profile was not included in the iPhone feature list. In order to use Bluetooth, the device must be compatible with certain Bluetooth profiles.

To achieve this you will need to pair a Bluetooth headset with your iPhone, switch on the headset so that it can perform the handshake with the iPhone, and once you have done this you will need to go into the Visual Voicemail screen and tap the Audio button in the upper right hand corner. You will then receive an audio selection dialog, from which you select the Headset option, and then you switch over to the iPod and begin playing your music or video.

Bluetooth Motorcycle Helmets

Bluetooth Motorcycle Helmets

Keith Barrett asked:

Have you ever wondered how motorcycle riders manage to stay in touch while they are on the road? Bluetooth helmets mean that communications have never been easier.

When it comes to attempting to communicate from a motorbike, there are a number of issues that make things difficult. The largest of all is that of noise.

If you’ve ever been on a bike then you’ll know that it’s a noisy place to be. You feel as though you’re very close to the engine, which can generate quite a roar, particularly on high specification models.

You then have to take into account the noise involved in moving at high speeds, plus the added difficulties caused by weather conditions. Those of us living in the UK know that the weather can be a real pain!

Once you put all of these factors together, it becomes clear that talking to others is not easy.

This is quite a problem, since you may wish to have a conversation with a passenger, someone in a sidecar, or maybe with another motorbike rider.

This is where bluetooth technology is starting to come to the rescue. A bluetooth helmet includes a headset, that is basically made up of a set of headphones, with a microphone attached.

Riders using these devices can communicate with other owners of similar gear. Although the basic devices only work over realtively short distances, this is fine in most cases.

For those who want even more out of their communications kit, the helmet comes into its own when used in conjunction with a bluetooth compatible mobile phone.

Using the two together, a rider can make and receive telephone calls from anywhere in the world.

An amazing use of technology and one that is transforming the way in which motorcycle owners view their machines.
