Why, when i select an individual song in Apple music, does it then add the next half dozen loving albums in their entirety to the queue? I just want the loving track that's playing, and whatever I add through "play next/last" and that's it.

so after a few days on spotify its absolutely a better service for finding new music than apple music. it also is missing some songs/versions of songs that Apple Music has :struggle: to add insult to injury spotify no longer allows you to import local music for playback within spotify on iOS. subscription services loving suck and Im going to go back to piracy and bandcamp purchases I think.

Thanks for the replies.xzzy posted:Nope, Apple's shuffle isn't actually a true shuffle, it thinks it's being smart and clever. If you shuffle a playlist it picks a finite number of songs with a bias towards stuff it thinks is "similar" or you like a lot. How annoying. If I want to listen to a certain limited set of songs over and over again, I'll make the playlist myself. That is a thing you can do. If I want to listen to a specific song, I can select it myself. I don't need some idiot's idea of smart deciding for me what I want to listen to. Minidust posted:If you have any other music apps try starting a shuffle with one of those. I've found that if a playlist kicks off outside of the actual Music app, shuffle behaves more like you expect it to. Does anyone have recommendations for music apps which will actually shuffle a list but play each song once. I don't want or need any music streaming, I just want it to play the MP3's I already have on the phone.

Soul Glo posted:My phone worked correctly last Thursday, Friday and this past Monday and has been showing this problem again all day yesterday and today. My GPS is still finding me, but not tracking movement at all in Apple Maps or Google Maps, occasionally warping up to where I am then freezing again. I’ve done everything short of restoring your factory settings, but I’m not sure what that would do that Reset All Settings wouldn’t. Factory reset last night, set up as new, redownloded only essential apps, updated to 13.5, problem still happening today. Looks like I get to loan Apple $1000 for them to send me a new phone next week.  I just want my three month old fancy pants phone to Just Work

I also like SongOwl for reference/library navigation (it lets you view metadata like year, grouping, date added etc), and Stezza for when I wanna leave my phone screen on and just use it as like a touchscreen jukebox, but I think both of these only have a paid version.

Is this a recent change? The status bar info is moved into the middle of the screen with control center open.  They fixed the reply indentation in Mail. Paste still inserts a space when trying to paste next to existing text, though.

Given how relatively disappointing the Pixel 4 was, and the potential for pixel 5 to be even more disappointing and/or delayed is a definite chance, I'm considering a switch. Is iMessage lock-in as bad as it used to be, or would I be able to switch back to Android if/when Google gets their poo poo together?

T-Mobile is doing a free SE with trade-in and 24mo bill credits.quote:Starting May 22, 2020, for a limited time, well-qualified customers who purchase an iPhone SE (all colors and memory variants) can save up to $400, via one-time trade-in credit and 24 monthly bill credits, when they trade in an eligible device. Specific rate plan not required but line with qualifying EIP must be on a voice rate plan. (Please remember to qualify as a trade in the device needs to be paid off and in good working condition.)

Buff Hardback posted:As in the "oops I switched back to Android, Apple still thinks I have an iPhone now I need to go borrow an iPhone to turn it off and have everyone delete all their text chains with me" They've made it a little better. If you remove your SIM, starting from iOS 12 it will automatically deregister your number from iMessage, or you can use their web portal to turn it off. Once you deregister, 1:1 messages fall back to text okay, it seems. But afaik group messages are still a clusterfuck if one person no longer has iMessage.

I can live with that, I hardly group text anyone, and if I do it's through over the top apps. At this point though, as tempting as the 11 pro is I'm going to be patient and wait for 12 1. I'm unemployed thanks beervirus 2. Buying iPhone now when I don't need it will just result in buyers remorse in like 3 months

And from second hand experience you do have to follow very specific steps to deregister your phone number otherwise messages can disappear into the ether. But if you’re aware of that it’s not a problem.

Minidust posted:Miximum is an app for making smart playlists, I believe the free version limits you to 1 app-generated playlist at a time but you'll have access to all your existing playlists. So you could initiate a shuffle there and then go back to the standard Music app for playback controls and library navigation. That'll work fine, I'll just make a playlist containing every song on the phone. ... But can you change the single playlist afterwards, to add or remove songs? quote:I also like SongOwl for reference/library navigation (it lets you view metadata like year, grouping, date added etc), and Stezza for when I wanna leave my phone screen on and just use it as like a touchscreen jukebox, but I think both of these only have a paid version.

Out of Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, which has the best iPhone trade in deal? I’m with Verizon now. I have an iPhone 6s Plus. If I was to go with T-Mobile it seems that I would be leasing the iPhone 11 and paying $200 spread over 24 months. With Sprint, you pay nothing for 18 months and then pay the remaining $175 for 6 months. So sprint seems like the better deal, unless I didn’t get all of that right.

Verizon’s estimating $34 for a 6 Plus, T-Mobile estimated $28, Sprint estimated $30. Apple says up to $100 on their website. Sprint has good deals on phones but you’ll probably figure out why they’re practically giving them away very quickly. But while their network sucks they are merging with T-Mobile and I think they’re planning to switch over some of the towers this summer, so it could be a good way to go honestly.

Yeah, def look at the promo prices, and essentially phones are somewhat like cable companies now, you get a better deal switching whenever you need to upgrade your phone. Sprint phones in theory have access to T-Mobile service now ? Sprint as a company is gonna be killed by end of the summer. Anyone with promos and deals will keep them for at least the run of the promo. That said, unless it’s a killer deal, I would lean T-Mobile. I’m assuming they’re gonna be really nice to sprint customers , but if you have issues, you’re gonna have at least consistent customer service.
