kelkin Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm trying to decide whether to keep or return my iPhone 5 knowing that advanced app mode won't work. I've never used it before and played with it for a few minutes on my old iPhone 4 in Wifi mode... I used to use AHA radio in the past when I was bored but never found it useful and just seemed more like a gimmick.. and I'm wondering if I'd feel the same way about advanced app mode.. in reality, does anyone actually use it and find it useful? I suppose I could live with the bluetooth connection and no album artwork.. though even artist/title info doesn't show up for some reason unless I use Spotify or Rhapsody... Or I guess I could jailbreak and tether off my iPhone 5 and connect my iPhone 4 to the X930BT to use advanced app mode if I wanted.. just talking out loud... So what do you think? do you use advanced app mode? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fatdad Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 The only thing I ever use the advanced app mode for is if I feel like using Waze for GPS rather than the onboard navigation. Other than that, the rest is somewhat gimmicky features. The one thing that I am not crazy about would be losing the video streaming from my iPhone to the device. This is somewhat of a big deal for me. Having said that I am still getting an iPhone 5 and until things get sorted out will use Micro SD and **err** DVD's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I rarely use video on my unit, maybe 5 times a year.. It's sad that I'd lose it.. I wish a jailbreak would come out already so I could try tethering on the iPhone 5 to my iPhone 4 and see if that solution would work for me. Keith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
qitupx Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I thought about using it on my x920 after the new update, but it appears you need all these fancy expensive cables to get it working. It looks cool, but not $150 cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
