I think this app might have got me one more step closer to converting him to a blackberry.

Haha that's awesome. That should be RIM's new slogan

"Converting iPhone users 1 at a time"

Anyways I wanted to fix it sooner, but I had to go to class. I don't like releasing things that have bugs, but it happens. Also it's hard to test apps that use the accelerometer because the simulator doesn't support it.

Haha thanks for the app.

If they make fun of you then their not true friends. A true friend would buy a Storm download the app and join the force with you.

If you do throw it through a wall be sure to post pictures. lol

im still getting no sound, the vibration acts as the sound now, when i swing, the vibration acts as if there should be a sound. what do i do? seems like an adjustment to sound profile needs to be made

Same problem here.

This is great! the only thing i've noticed:

-Stops humming after turning on the lightsaber (not the app itself).

-Maybe humming sound louder? or is that on my end....

-As mentioned above, needs swinging sounds.

-I didnt know how to change colors so the sound is no big deal to me

-Different "striking" noises?

-The iphone has music you can turn on and off....i thought it was a nice touch

Sorry guys...i'm one of those Star Wars fans. Not a "go to the movie and dress up holding a lightsaber" kind of fan. BUT still a fan.

Are you running .75?

If you're feeling the vibration that means the method is being called and you should hear a sound. As for troubleshooting it this is what I would do.

1. Battery Pull
2. Make sure your volume is turned up (go to the homescreen and hit the volume up keys on the right side of the phone)
3. Re-Download the app again

If that still doesn't work try plugging in a set of headphones and see if that works with sound. If so it's an OS error and there is no way to fix it unless you upgrade to a leeaked OS or wait for an upcoming official release.

I hope that works for you.

The humming does stop after a few seconds, that's to conserve battery life and memory on the phone. If the sound were to loop it would draw a lot of resources and the swinging noises would be a little laggy.

-As mentioned above, needs swinging sounds.
What do you mean?

-I didnt know how to change colors so the sound is no big deal to me

When the lightsaber is turned on, just swipe your finger to the left or to the right

-Different "striking" noises?

There are 5 striking noises based on how you swing. If you can find some better ones I will surely add those in there.

-The iphone has music you can turn on and off....i thought it was a nice touch

I thought about this but this is just meant to be a simple app. It's already over 200k in total size and adding another mp3 would put it over 500k I would imagine.

Thanks for your feedback it's always appreciated.

Lol that's awesome. When I first bought my wii we had a Christmas gathering over at my g/f's house and everyone was playing tennis on it. One of my g/f's cousins went to get off the couch and got nailed right in the forhead with a strong backhand. It was so funny to watch. That's what that reminded me of haha.
