Wow. I had a MAJOR crash today. I have a feeling I know what caused it too…

I’m beta testing some apps, and I installed a new provision file—a file that allows the app to be run when it hasn’t been downloaded from the app store—along with the new beta version of the app. I set my phone up to sync overnight, since it had to do a full sync and backup for the new provision file to work.

I started to use my phone this morning, and crash. Crash. Crash. Apps failing all over the place. I couldn’t even get into the settings; it just displayed a blank screen. But not ALL the apps—the new beta version of the program I was testing worked. So I hooked it back up to iTunes to take that off. And it hung iTunes and never was recognized. Disconnecting if from iTunes brought up a flash of the iPhone info screen, and released the hang, but I had to finally put it into recovery mode and do a restore.  I decided to set it up like a new iPhone and in the process of syncing back my music and apps, which will take a couple of hours.

Hopefully that will solve the issues.

UPDATE: Three hours and counting. The first sync is STILL going transferring over. The install of all the apps (probably about 30-40) took 2 hours by itself.

Crash and burn. Bad bad app. 

My main complaint with Audi A4 Driving Challenge is that it’s not point of view driving! WTH? If you’re a car company making a game to tout your A4 line, at LEAST make it a driver’s seat experience. This looks down from above, Like it’s a toy car. I can’t drive toy cars. I get turned around and don’t know the car’s right from it’s left. So I can’t steer properly and run down small children and old ladies. Anyone without the good sense or ability to get out from in front of the car. No problem with sitting in the driver’s seat, however.

As a minor quibble, there’s no sound effects. Hello? I can’t rev the engine? Is this an electric car or what?

The acceleration is WAY to quick also. There’s no way to drive slowly that I can tell, so I can even learn the steering and get used to steering from above. To complicate that, there’s not enough track showing to anticipate what’s coming so turns come out of nowhere.

It’s maddening and I quit after 5 minutes.

At least it’s worth what I paid for it. Nothing. So that’s something. Don’t even bother with it.
