I've had reports from somebody using Squeemote complaining of the same problem (could even be the aforementioned poster).

Re: [slim] iPeng, Squidgy or Squeezemote?
Thanks Luke Pippin for your replies. I have investigated this a bit further. I see the wifi icon disappearing on the sqeezemote as well as on another remote application called Touchpad Elite. However, I have no problems running the safari browser on the iphone for hours and hours. It never looses connection and the wifi icon remains there at least for the 3 hours I have tried to stress test it. I have tested on two different access points, one from linksys and another from d-link. The behavior is identical - safari works perfect, but the custom installed applications are victim to drop out of the wifi icon. Could it be that there is some system call that the custom build applications will have to do to prevent this?

Re: [slim] iPeng, Squidgy or Squeezemote?
I have an iPhone 3G and purchased the squeezemote application. I like it very much, but I am experiencing random wifi dropout where the wifi icon disappears from the iPhone and obviously then I loose connection to the server. Hence I am unable to use this as a remote control due to the unreliability of the wifi connection. I was wondering if any of the other iPhone remote application users are experiencing similar problems? My dropouts come randomly, and can be while I am in fact using the application. It can come 5 minutes after I start the application, but will appear within 30 minutes for sure. I have tried with two different wifi access points and two different kind of remote control applications (squeezemote is one of them). Could this be a hardware problem on my iPhone 3G? -- nanckekr nanckekr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16502 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57225 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iPeng, Squidgy or Squeezemote?
I read through the provided links and from all the information I understand that all three are good applications with their pro and cons. Since iPeng in the oldest application I guess this is also the most mature application. It has gone through the initial bug fixing phase. This is one of the reasons why I choose to purchase iPeng. The application works very well, is very nice, and has an easy to understand and use interface. From the couple of days Ive playing around with it I found that it would be nice to have some additional features: 1) Add the capability to shuffle songs. This is the mode I use mostly with my SB in the living room. 2) Add the capability to configure the alarms. I use that in the bedroom. 3) Add an option in the settings to disable auto lock. This way the remote wont switch off all the times.

I have one specific update in mind that would require an additional payment since this would involve purchasing a certain license which I can not stem myself, but that's probably a while off if it comes at all. This is also the general policy on the App Store. Currently you can NOT take additional money for upgrades, if you want to do such, you will have to sell the update as a different product.
