I tried various way's compile and update the firmware on my CC2650 Sensortag, more or less failed that.
Now I want the original functionality back. So I went to where I installed BLE 2.02 (simplelink\ble_sdk_2_02_01_18\examples\hex) and fetched the cc2650stk_sensortag_rel.hex. Programmed that with SmartRF. Now the Sensor tag is back in "near" normal operation. If I detach the programmer, remove the battery, then attach battery. The Simplelink on my Iphone can see a Sensortag 2.0. It notice when I push the buttons, but I can't see anything when using/pushing Sensor view or service explore. What can I do to get it back in it's original working state?
I don't know if I somewhat bricked the device trying to go over to Zigbee OTA and then trying to build/debug the IT resource explorer CC26xx Bluetooth Smart.
This is embarrassing. The SensorTag was working all along, a very important step was missed. Since I already tried uninstall/install the iPhone app I didn't think of switching off/on my bluetooth. The last step fixed the issue. Somehow settings where cashed there.

I like the idea behind bump, and I am using it in an application. However, I'd prefer it if I would be able to make a connection between 2 phones (in close proximity) without the users having to bump.
I have tried simulateBump which works pretty good for that purpose. However I don't want the Bump framework to be activated when it thinks the phones are bumped.
So, how could you disable 'bumping'?
Also, one extra questions: Can I stop the bump framework from triggering a vibration on the phone when the phone is bumped?
Just so others know what Andrei is talking about - Bump allows two smartphone users to physically bump their phones together to transfer contact information, photos, and files to each other over the Internet.
Now that the context is clear, These are the exposed API's by Bump - Bump API for iOS. According to this -
When phones are bumped and if you have included the Bump SDK in your app complete with delegates, Bump framework will be activated when 2 phones bump. If you dont want bump to be activated then remove bump handlers (like configureWithAPIKey etc.) and implement you own. Although I see a BOOL flag called bumpable. This is defaulted to YES. Maybe if you set this to FALSE and see how it works out.
I dont see any API to turn off vibration when bump happens.
I am purely basing this on my observations of their header file. Not tried this in xCode. So I might be wrong.
Also, if you are interested in peer-to-peer data transfer you might want to take a look at GameKit, its a cool piece of tech part of iOS framework..
How can I find nearby iPhones and iPods running the same application and index them into a UITableView? Then how would I go about pairing with the selected devices over bluetooth to carry out an undisclosed process?
GKSession is the easiest I've seen, although it took me about 4-5 hrs to do and that was not messing around just straight typing you will need a client model
A server model hostTableView and a joingameTableView and not to mention quite a few delegates to transfer the info back and forth between the server model and client model and back and forth between the host and the client(joingameTableView) they all talk back and forth to make that happen. You can use bonjour and other methods but I haven't used any other. I will try to post an example that compiles to git sometime soon, there is just way to much logic involved for me to explain in a post! Hope I helped at least guided you in the right direction.
I'm trying to figure out a way to mirror an iPad screen to other iPads. This doesn't seem to be supported on the platform though.
Basically, a teacher would have an iPad, then the students would have iPads and see everything that is happening on the teachers screen, but on their screens.
Thoughts?
I have been attempting to find a solution to this problem myself. I have not found any apps that can mirror exactly what is happening on another IPAD, but some come close.
RabbleBrowser and Ideaflight both had potential. Ideaflight appears to be more for business. RabbleBrowser appears to allow the mirroring, except it only works as a browser and a file/picture mirroring.
Both iPads are linked to the same wifi and when you join a session, they will mirror the iPad that started session. Also allows chat (controlled by session starter).
It does NOT continue to mirror if you move out of browser and into another app however. I had dreams of leading a class through a a lesson on google earth, but no go .:(
Another option is attaching a laptop to a projector. Then you download Airserver on the laptop. Go to the menu bar at bottom of iPad and turn on AirPlay. The laptop will mirror the iPad perfectly and project it! It's wireless and works well. I tried the HDMI connector to laptop but it gives a poor quality, shaky image.
Hope they allow mirroring in future updates. The capability is there, don't know why they don't! Guess trying to sell more appletv!
A similar question was asked on the Apple forum (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3118281?start=0&tstart=0), and the following app seemed to help them or answer their question.
Have a look at Replicate Pro on the app store:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/replicate-pro-for-ipad/id363286515?mt=8
One feature listed in the notes:
Share files between two iPads/iPhones that are running this app. (Pro
version only)
I'm not sure if this will cover multiple devices or simply between two, but it may be worth a look. Sadly, the only way to try would be to spend $5.99.
You'll need to create an application for the student iPad that emulates the screen of the teachers iPad. I would suggest that, although i dont know if its possible, the teacher somehow starts up and app that emulates their entire iPad. Meaning, from within the app named "teacher share" (or whatever it is), they can access the music, settings, notes and other apps found on their ipad. Then that information could be sent over a network to the students.
Nearpod is an app that will allow you to mirror a presentation on several iPads. I have had up to 9 at one time. Through the Nearpod program you can make a presentation similar to PowerPoint, and also incorporate interactive questions, which can be multiple choice, short answer, and even drawings. The only drawback is the full version costs $10/month. The free version is still good, you are just limited on the size of the presentation.
After doing lots of research, I found one app which shares iPhone device into another iPhone device. Really great logic they have applied for screen mirroring.
No idea about detailed how they have implemented but after installing and checking the app I came to know that I think they have used iPhone Screen Recording and broadcasting it on to their server and then on another device they are syncing from the same URL.

I would like to profile a running app without a computer attached. Pretty much what the sample command does on Mac OS X. Is it possible ?
I would like to do this without any computer attached because my app gets into an endless loop only at certain GPS locations. I tried reproducing the problem by faking GPS fixes but I couldn't. Yet the issue is 100% reproductible in the field…
You can try logging suspected method and loop entry/exits to a file, and recover the file later using iTunes Document sharing or Xcode.
No - I'm pretty sure it isn't, as Apple does not allow developers to use any iOS-development tools on the platform itself. You might be able to build analytical stuff into your own app (RAM monitor etc.), but not by using another app.
Anyway, your computer is much better suited to the task than a device - so sick with it.
Maybe some day Apple will let us test/write iPhone apps from iPads...
I have a requirement in my iPhone app that I know when somebody running the same app is close by.
I'm thinking that GameKit using Bluetooth would let me do that. GPS location is not precise enough in this particular case.
However, if the user closes the app then the function won't work anymore. Even under iOS4, the task switching will close down the BonJour services so I can't have the app run in the background.
Seems to me I can only have this function if the user leaves the app up and running. Would you agree? Or is there a different approach I can take?
People are very concerned with privacy, so they would naturally expect such privacy invading functionality to be switched off when they close down the application.
If they choose to have this feature enabled, then it's a different matter. Then they expect that somebody else may locate them.
You might however consider implementing some sort of opt-in offline service, where the latest gps position is stored on a server including a timestamp. When somebody else (with the app running) moves within a certain distance of this location while it's still "fresh", then you send off a notification to the first device. That way the user would be notified that somebody may be close, and can then switch on their own device.
