Siri can’t remember who your mom or dad is?

October 15th, 2011

If Siri can’t remember your relations you are likely syncing your contacts with Google  Apps, Gmail or Exchange Server.  This is a limitation of Microsoft Exchange Sync, a protocol that google licenses from Microsoft to support their Google Sync service.

You tell Siri to remember that your Father is John Appleseed, she acknowledges your request. Siri remembers your relations by adding their name to your contact info in a section called relations.  But the Exchange Sync protocol does not support these “custom” fields so when the phone tries to sync with the server this info gets lost.

You have two options:

A: Find your Fathers contact info and write Dad in the nickname field. Some have had success with this but I haven’t gotten it to work. Also this does not solve the problem of Siri not being able to store the info for you by telling her My Father is John Appleseed.  Siri will also not know that Father = Dad.

B: Set up a free iCloud account and move all of your contacts there.

C: The iPhone does not limit you to the number of address books you can sync. So set up a free iCloud account and enable address book sync.  Create a new contact in the new address book and add your info.  Go to Settings > Siri and assign this contact to the My Info field.  Now Siri has access to an address book that she can modify with extra relations.  This contact is independent of your main address book. You can continue to use Exchange Sync for your other contacts.

Sonic Burn – Headphone and Speaker Burn In Tool iPhone App

January 28th, 2011

Our latest iPhone app just got approved. Your brand new high quality headphones require a burn-in period prior to achieving their high fidelity audio potential.  Think of it like a brand new pair of shoes that need to be worn for a while before they start getting comfortable. This app will break in your headphones and make them sound better.

The idea behind the headphone burn-in process is to play specific sounds that will loosen the diaphragm of the speaker.  Thus making it more flexible and allowing it to vibrate more freely.  In turn, allowing it to produce the best possible sound for the particular design.  That does not mean that your $15 headphones will sound like a $1,000 set. It simply means that your headphones will sound better than they would if you didn’t break them in.

Headphone and speaker burn-in is not a secret, audio professionals have been doing it for years.  And now we have made it simple enough for everyone to do.  This app has everything you need to burn-in your headphones.  Simply plug in your headphones, start the app and choose one of the special sounds to play.

Playing pink noise is arguably the most effective methods of burn-in because its energy is distributed equally throughout audio spectrum. We recommend doing most of your burn-in with pink noise.  If you feel that your headphones lack in a particular are of the spectrum. You can hone in on the details with low, mid and high sweeps.

Description of the available sounds:

White Noise – Random audio noise.
Pink Noise – Random noise uniformly spread through out the audio spectrum.
Quick Sweep – Fast sine wave sweep from 10 – 22,050 Hz
Quick Pulsing Sweep – Sweeps low, mid and high frequencies 3x each.
Frequency Sweep – Slow sine wave sweep 10 – 22,050 Hz
Low Frequency Sweep – 10 – 200 Hz sine wave sweep.
Mid Frequency Sweep – 200 – 5,000 Hz sine wave sweep.
High Frequency Sweep 5000 – 10,000 Hz sine wave sweep.
Ultra High Frequency Sweep 10,000 22,050 Hz sine wave sweep.
