Jessica, I have a bluetooth Jawbone and use it with my iPhone (5, running iOS 7) and haven't had a problem. But I don't have any fancy buttons either.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Jessica, did you install the drivers for your HBS-730? Maybe that's what makes the buttons work.
eta: Drivers are needed for Android. So far I haven't seen that they're needed for iOS.

I don't even know where I'd begin to do that - I've never had to install driver in iOS before.

I did read cases where the HBS-730 works fine in iOS 4 but the buttons stopped working in iOS 5 and iOS 6.

The call button works (I accidentally called someone testing it) but volume, ff/rw, and play/pause, nope. Boo!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Garage Band for iPad is free. Not sure if it's a temp thing, or forever. But, figured I'd alert folks. Looks like a couple basic instruments (acc gtr, lx gtr, keys, drums), and then lots of in app purchases of other instruments.
So far, app is great! Sounds like I know how to play guiter. Still suck at piano. Eh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What would the components be for coding an "on hover" menu. Say, if you went to hover over "Film and Television" you'd get a hover over stripped down version of the page itself, so you didn't have to navigate to it to see what's up.
I know what the web dev team at work would say: "Hand us a JSON file with the information, and we'll use the appropriate library/libraries (usually jQuery) to create a floating men."
I only know the theory of JSON, and am assuming that for at least this implementation, it's faster to learn than the javascript and jQuery conventions (I can read the former, and "Hello World" of sorts, have only read about the second). Pointers to starting places? Web resources preferred, because lazy, but a good patient book that doesn't condescend to me would be fine, and even finer if it were a NookBook....she yells as she's grabbed off the computer by an unseen force that clearly cares more about a night's sleep than she does.
Oh! And NFS stickers! Anyone know anything about those (cost, flexibility (both literal and metaphorical), ease of use(? Because I could, it seems, slap one in the back of any phone car mount and it would be good to go. Fire up Waze automatically, check and see if it's charging, if so, turn on the WIFi hotspot (actually, I don't think I can do that, sadface--but WAZE for sure!). Hell, maybe I could get Night Vale on the phone and have that autoplay if there are unread episodes. BOUNDLESS.
Good night Gracie.

Ha! NFC stickers, not NFS. I'm looking here [link] and I can think of two applications right away--one for a phone mount in the car for car mode, Waze, etc, and one for the back of my tablet so I can turn on the wifi hotspot on my phone (the Note tablet does not have NFC, sadfacedly).
Anyone out there using it? I'll probably start with Tasker.

Those are way cool.

I am falling down a rabbit hole of theoretical applications. Android limits the functionality to working when the screen is unlocked, but apparently there are workarounds (that involve rooting), which would be extra amazeballs. You can put some in your clothes and they'll survive laundering!
