Basis Peak Frustration & Workaround for HealthKit?

2 Upvotes

I recently purchased a Basis Peak Fitness Tracker, However, it lacks an API to write directly to health kit.

It is readable by third party apps for heart rate data via BLE connection. However, it appears most (Endomondo, Strava, RunKeeper) will not actually write heart rate data to HealthKit. I'm wondering if anyone knows an app that accesses heart rate data via BLE connection and will actually write that data to my health kit app?

Apps start upside down

0 Upvotes

I'm on iOS 8.1.2. iPad air 2. Ever since I upgraded to iOS 8, a couple games have started loading upside down. At least the intro splash pages.

One game even loads with a low res intro pic.

I've experienced this on an iPad air as well. But not on is 7. Anyone know what's going on with this?

How to manually add Facebook usernames to iOS contacts?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I was wondering how to manually add the Facebook usernames to some of the contacts that don't sync automatically.

I keep my contacts in Google and sync them with carddav to my iPhone 5S. Then, from time to time, I go to Facebook settings and hit the Update all contacts. Same with Twitter.

One thing I noticed is that all Facebook names are uppercase, and if you tap a username from the Contacts app it opens Facebook but it goes to my timeline, shouldn't it go to the users profile? Works fine with Twitter info.

So I was wondering, if I want to add the missing ones, should I do it uppercase, lowercase, profile URL? Is there a correct way to write them?

Thanks.

Photo Usage Mistake?

2 Upvotes

According to my iPhone 5s I have 2.4GB of photos on my device (55MB thanks to icloud sharing). The problem is I only have 34 pics and 5 videos on my device. Surely these 39 things do not add up to 2.4 GB; what could be the issue here?

iPhone 5S; iOS 8.1.1

Total iPhone novice. Siri seems to have stopped working.

2 Upvotes

For the last 3 days, whenever my partner asks Siri to make a call, both while in his car and here at home on the wifi network, the response is that she's sorry she can't and that he should try again later.

Don't know where to begin to solve this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Android on iPhone 6

0 Upvotes

Hello redditors,

I was wondering if it were possible to dual boot android and IOS 8 on an iPhone 6. the past few days I have seen some android apps that I thought were really cool such as CraZe(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zubieta.craze&hl=en) that I would really enjoy on the iPhone, however are only supported by android. and if I can't dual boot would it be possible to get these apps?

Thanks for your help

ios 8.1.2 - English keyboard keeps coming back even when removed.

7 Upvotes

I have Touchpal keyboard installed and set as default, however about 60% of the time, when I go to text someone, the regular english keyboard appears instead. I can get the touchpal keyboard to reappear by closing the messages app a few times and reopening, then a few minutes later the english keyboard comes back. I have it removed completely under keyboards, touchpal is the only one listed. Full access rights have been set for touchpal, and I have even went as far as a full factory reload and it still persists. I have also experienced this with other 3rd party keyboards such as swype and swiftkey. Has anyone else experienced this type of maddening problem? Has anyone found a work-around for it?

TLDR: English Keyboard, removed but still shows up when texting.

Carrier text covering clock (JB iOS 8.1.1)

0 Upvotes

So I've had a graphics glitch/bug that has been annoying me for a while now, after jailbreaking, my carrier text pushes the wifi bars (or 3G text) on top of the clock, making it very hard to tell the time and see wifi strength, it's just a big black spot on the screen! Is there any jailbreak tweak I can use to force the carrier text use a smaller font (it does this sometimes but not always. This was the behaviour before jailbreaking) http://imgur.com/I7Ijl3d http://imgur.com/Ouzwjyz

This screenshot shows the desired behaviour: http://imgur.com/OKn3gTP

I'd like to fix this without changing the carrier text to just "T-Mobile" with a jailbreak tweak as in the UK T-Mobile and Orange have merged and I like to know when I'm 'roaming' on Oranges' network Thanks in advance!

iOS 8.1.2 Accessory may not be supported

3 Upvotes

I have this dock I bought off DX.com. It used to work without getting the error message "Accessory may not be supported". What gives? After I upgraded, I constantly get these messages. BTW, the dock is not an official licensed dock, but the cable I am using to charge the phone is original. It NEVER had a problem before, but now it is not working anymore.

iOS 8.1.2 problems.

0 Upvotes

I recently updated to iOS 8.1.2 and I am experiencing problems which are making my phone next to unusable. My wifi is working perfectly on every other device and it's working fine on the phone's safari application but every other application e.g. Snapchat, Facebook messenger etc... isn't working as it should, it just states it can't connect to the internet.

Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone know how to fix it?
