I can reproduce it quite simple. It happens almost every time I use the volume bar. It briefly flashes once I adjust the volume again, but keeps being displayed. Apart from that, the GUI behaves as if the hud isn't there; items underneath it can still be clicked. pippin wrote: > > How do you play it? By tapping a track or by tapping the cover?

But I've done so for 3 years and I've never noticed this behavior. And I've still got an old 3G with 1.6.1 and on that phone I can't replicate it either, but on 2.0 I can. For the record, I'm using a jailbroken version of 5.1.1 on an iPhone 4, but only have one Cydia app installed, being a bluetooth profile selector. If you want I can update the iPeng on my GF's phone, which is a 4S with iOS6. pippin wrote: > > Hehe... I hear that with _every_ version from somebody.

The amount by which the battery is emptied even after a short amount of using iPeng is much more than it was on the 1.5/1.6.x versions. Always have the "keep server connection" switched on and I have no issues with the server connection or stability. Perhaps you can't see any reason why this would have changed at this time, but as with your first remark: if nobody reports it, then you don't know there might be an issue in this area. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hvb83's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39615 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96749 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
