Bluetooth Image is an application that allows you to share images from your Photo Albums over Wifi. In order for this application to work, both devices (iPhone or iPod touch) need to have the app installed and open.

Once you have the Bluetooth Image open, it will search for other devices in range. When it finds them, it will add it to a list where you can choose which one you would like to connect to. After that person has accepted… it will connect to their device. You can then go into your Photo Library and choose an image to send to them over Bluetooth.

Here is the skinny on the app. I never actually got it to work. Twice the connect failed before it finished sending the image, once it finished sending the image (though it said it sent it to Chris’s device and I really sent it to Doug’s… freaked me out a little) but the image didn’t display and once it crashed. Also, the images transfer extremely slowly!

Personally, I’m not sure I would download the app yet… it seems pretty buggy. If it gets an update, it might be worth a download. You can get Bluetooth Image via the BigBoss source.

Syptoms

    • iPhone or iPod touch appear to be connected to a Wi-Fi network but cannot use Wi-Fi for checking email, surfing the Internet, or other data transactions.

    • On the device, when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi and then tap next to the network, no values or entries for IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, or DNS appear.

    • The device shows no Wi-Fi address (Tap Settings > General > About and scroll down to Wi-Fi Address).

This can happen if, during the initial setup of the iPhone or iPod touch, no Wi-Fi address was registered. So while the device can attach to different Wi-Fi networks, it will not be able to retrieve an IP address because the Wi-Fi router doesn’t see a Wi-Fi address from the device.

Resolution

First, sync your iPhone or iPod touch to iTunes in order to backup your user info, Contacts, Calendar, and other data. Then, try the following steps in order.

Step One
On the device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Check to see if the device now displays the Wi-Fi address (tap Settings > General > About and scroll down to Wi-Fi Address). If there is a Wi-Fi Address, then you’re done with these steps and can resync your settings and your media using iTunes.

If there’s still no Wi-Fi Address, then continue to Step Two.

Step Two
On the device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Check to see if the device now displays the Wi-Fi address (tap Settings > General > About and scroll down to Wi-Fi Address). If there is a Wi-Fi Address, then you’re done with these steps and can resync your settings and your media using iTunes.

If there’s still no Wi-Fi Address, then continue to Step Three.

Step Three
    1. Restore the iPhone or iPod touch software (this erases all data on the device) using iTunes (see article 305744 for additional assistance).
    2. After the restore is complete, sync your previous settings (mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, etc.).
    3. Now verify if your device shows a Wi-Fi address (tap Settings > General > About and scroll down to Wi-Fi Address).

If there is a Wi-Fi address, then you’re done with these steps. If there is no Wi-Fi address, then continue to Step Four.

Step Four
If there is no Wi-Fi address listed after doing the above steps, then your iPhone or iPod touch may need to be repaired. See the iPhone Service FAQ or iPod Service FAQ for additional service information.

Note: If the device shows an address in the Wi-Fi Address field and you are still having issues using Wi-Fi, refer to article 305715 for additional Wi-Fi troubleshooting tips.

aTimeTool is an application that allows you to set a timers that allow the ability to turn on/off your iPhone or iPod Touch’s Airplane mode, Bluetooth and WiFi. It is a pretty simple application. Once installed you have four options; Airplane Mod, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Settings.

In each option (Airplane Mod, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) you are able to set timers in which you can control when each will be turned on/off. When you add a timer (using the + icon) you have the option to make it a repeating timer…say you want your Bluetooth to turn on from 6:30am -7:30am every Mon, Wed and Fri. You can also set up multiple timers….say you want your Bluetooth to turn on from 6:30am -7:30am every Mon, Wed and Fri and from 4:30pm -5:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You could create two timers to do that. Or, you can just create one timer that does not repeat.

You do have to be careful when setting up the timers, if your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are always enabled, you will have to put the off time before the on time. So, if you want your Wi-Fi disabled between 12:00pm -1:00pm everyday, you will have to set the off time as 12:00pm and the on time as 1:00pm. It feels a little backwards but, that is how it works.

In the Settings, you are able to activate/deactivate the entire Airplane Mode, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi options. This would work great if you have a few timers for, lets say the Bluetooth option, but today you want your Bluetooth on all day…you could just completely turn off the Bluethooth option for today so that none of your timers would be active.

Overall, a pretty simple application that is easy to use and does what it says it is going to. I had no problems at all with this app. Whether it is worth $5.99 (USD) I’m not sure, that’s your call.

You can get aTimeTool via the iSpazio source.

On a side note, you won’t really need a bluetooth keyboard if this is ever released:

SweetTooth is a simple bluetooth stumbler application. When you open SweetTooth, it will scan for any Bluetooth devices in range. When it is finished scanning, it will display a list of all the devices that it has found (if it does not find any, the list will be blank). You can also have it rescan for devices by selecting Rescan in the upper right corner. That is basically it. It doesn’t seem like you can select a device from the list in the application and pair it to your iPhone. However, this is slightly difficult for me to test because the headset I tested was already paired to my device. So, as far as I can tell, it just gives you a list of local Bluetooth devices. However, I did notice in the package description that they are going to be adding more features to the app later. Let me know in the comments if I missed any functionality of the current version of this application (2.0.0-1).

Video Demo: This video is of version 1.0, therefore does not include the festures in 1.2 of iFastSwitch.

Note: SkrewCommon was updated to version 1.40 to support iFastSwitch. You will want to update SkrewCommon before installing iFastSwitch.
