White Noise 4.0 problem

[dludwig33]

I have an iPhone 3G running iOS 3.1.3. I just upgraded to the latest White Noise app last night, but immediately ran into a problem. I use a Bose dock, which is compatible with but not made for the iPhone. As a result, the connection to the phone is occasionally interrupted by a message saying that this device is not designed for the iPhone, do you want to turn on airplane mode. I can usually safely ignore this and the White Noise app would continue playing. Even if I removed the phone from the dock, it would continue playing.

With the new version, though, when the connection is momentarily interrupted (by this message or by removing the phone), the new default is to stop the sound instead of continuing. This doesn't seem to be a user-controlled setting, but rather a set behavior based on the current state of the phone. As of right now, it has rendered the app virtually useless since this message can come up at any time. Last night it happened sometime after I fell asleep, and I was awoken at 3am by a noise outside that would have otherwise been masked. Is there a reason this was changed and can it be changed back?

Nobody has replied to your post, so I thought I'd give you my unorthodox solution.

First, jailbreak you phone - this is perfectly legal now so you are NOT breaking the law. Plus for the iPhone 3G it's incredibly easy and thoroughly tested - just download a program called blackra1n from blackra1n.com - make sure you back up and sync your iPhone to iTunes first, because if you decide you don't like your iPhone being jailbroken you can restore it back to normal through iTunes later

Once your phone is jailbroken, you'll have a new icon "Cydia", which is just an alternative "App Store" for apps you can't usually get from apple's app store. Open cydia, and search for an app called NoAccessorySplash. Once it's installed, you won't be bugged by that "not optimized for iPhone" dialog box, and that should solve the problem.

While your phone's jailbroken, I suggest looking up SBSettings, which almost everyone with a jailbroken phone downloads because it's so irreplaceably useful. I can't live without it.

Dear haters, don't flame me for this post - it a perfectly legitimate and not illegal solution to this problem.
