On IOS7/8 is there a way to get to control center (or at least some way of controlling the currently playing music) other than to swipe up from bottom twice? Also, is it still possible to use a fake carrier profile to get rid of the carrier name in the title bar? Unfortunately I'm on "vodafoneAU"

carry on then posted:If the app has gone "full screen" where it hides the status bar (most games) you have to swipe twice, once to bring up a little arrow and the second time to show control center. For what it's worth, it only takes one swipe from the app switcher screen. Thanks, that's probably a more reliable way of doing it and practically the same as the IOS6 action then.

fleshweasel posted:Hey Siri just started giving stupid answers? It started saying things like "a watched iPhone never boils" when setting a timer and stuff. I can really do without Siri trying to be clever. Next time she gives you lip say "That's not funny" and she'll go back to the stock responses.

fleshweasel posted:My silly friend never upgraded his 4s from 7.0 to 7.1, let alone to 8.1. Is there a chance for him to update to 7.1? I kind of doubt it. It sucks that you can't incrementally update to the version that reduces animations and improves performance on old devices. You have to upgrade all the way to the software that reportedly makes the phone run lovely. You're right; you can't.

smackfu posted:It's just the lovely soft-touch plastic they use. It loses elasticity when it gets fatigued enough, to the point where I can touch my bad cable and pieces of plastic flake off. The controls on my earpods stopped working after being flaky for a few months in the connection to the 3.5mm minijack, but at least I got 2 whole years of use out of them before that happened rather than the month or so before the lightning cable frayed away. Plus the Apple Store guy replaced the earpods for free. Brock Landers posted:If you pull your cables out by the hard plastic connector, that won't happen. And why are you bending the cables over and over enough to cause that? I'm sure this is a factor too, but it's definitely a problem with the plastic combined with the actual hard plastic connector portion of the cable being incredibly tiny/slippery compared to a chunky 30 pin connector. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Nov 20, 2014 |

kitten smoothie posted:You can do a group MMS, which is what iOS falls back to if one or more of the parties in the group don't have iMessage. It's just been only relatively recently that other phone manufacturers treated group MMS the same way as Apple has. Can you do this without sending a pic or something? I'm surprised it's not automatic. (Case study: I sent a message to three of my green bubble "friends" and found out that I had three separate one-on-one conversations going after that.) obi_ant posted:Is there something that I can buy to make my iPhone into a tripod without it being "obnoxious"? I really want to use the lapse timer, but I can't seem to find anything to prop up the phone somewhere nice, without it being like some sort of case / stand hybrid. GPS mount comes to mind. When you unclip the phone clasp from the gooseneck it's not much larger than a bumper case.

I don't mind Siri saying dumb cutesy things back to you if you ask it something silly in the first place (ie. will you marry me, etc.) but it gets a bit old when you're trying to be matter of fact. I asked it something, I want to know if it parsed the request correctly and did what I want, not to hear a joke for the 100th time.

While a class action lawsuit is dumb, it would be nice if Apple would a) warn you how much space is going to be lost b) let you downgrade OS versions when they inevitably push the latest half-baked release out

BrandonLakeTruck posted:Don't buy the 5s though. I think you'll like the the 6, I just have a problem that is very specific to someone with small slippery pockets and I refuse to change myself to accommodate a phone. I disagree; I think the 5S is a pretty decent upgrade over the 5. I didn't want a phone any larger so I decided not to get a 6, and for less money I get a phone with more storage space. The OP in this case sounds particularly like someone who doesn't want a hugephone and does want 32GB so I say go for it.

banana allergy posted:Software updates exist to make your phone better. A phone will usually handle several major updates until it starts to suffer, and by then it's essentially no longer state-of-the-art hardware and you need to decide whether you want to pay for the new fast thing or hang onto the old one until it gives out. I agree it's a bit funny to have a iPhone 6 and not upgrade to 8.3; he probably has a jailbreak he doesn't want to bring up for whatever reason. That said, your statement is completely wrong. Software updates exist because it would involve more effort to support multiple different OS versions. An iPhone will in no way handle "several" major updates before starting to suffer. 2 at most. Keeping your phone on the old OS is a perfectly cromulent strategy if you're happy with its current list of apps.

Kaizoku posted:I've never seen someone misuse 'cromulent' until now. Good job. It's an intelligent strategy because updating is a risk every time. And let's face it, most updates don't actually add much of note to old devices. The primary "benefit" to users is that they allow you to run the latest versions of apps. ---- Apple is lazy about supporting old devices. Developers are lazy about supporting old OSes. Certainly Apple doesn't make their job very easy. We have a situation where a large number of apps will only support the latest OS major version. A lot of the time they only support the latest OS minor version. The only way this will change is if a larger proportion of devices are running older OS versions. This is starting to change for a couple of reasons, although it's probably due mostly to a lack of free space on people's phones. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 02:52 on May 22, 2015 |

Michael Scott posted:Having said that, it's hard to see why you would choose to get a 5S instead of a 6, even given the cost savings, particularly as someone who wants to keep their phone a long while. Not only is the 5S basically the same speed as the 6, it's also not novelty-giganto sized and doesn't have weird bands or a camera wart...

You *might* be able to do it if you jailbroke your iPhone, connected the iPhone to the company Wifi, connected the laptop to the iPhone using a USB ethernet adaptor, then SSHed into the iPhone as a SOCKS proxy. In theory this would work. But that's pretty insane.

As if you're going to write 'call me on xxxxx if found' rather than revelling in spite. If you put a nice message on your phone then you might get it back when a passerby picks it out of a trash can that the thief chucked it into.

Does anyone know if there's any way to download multiple devices .ipsw as a "combo update"? Each file looks to be encrypted or at least incompressible so probably not, but here's hoping.

So we turned it off in Settings, and now if they send a message to me, they show as green SMS, so that's good. But if I send them a message, my phone still thinks they have iMessage and the blue message just goes nowhere. There is a form somewhere on the apple website to dergister your ID from iMessage.

Quantum of Phallus posted:5s is fine. It was slow enough after the update but seems better now. The Awful app is actually one of the worst offenders ... You should probably just got with a 6 at this stage though If he wants the big screen then he should go for the 6, but it's barely any faster than the 5S and has no more RAM. (Arguably less due to the bigger screen.) It's doubtful that the 6 will have any longer practical working life even if it does get one more OS version than the 5S in say 2 year's time. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Sep 22, 2015 |

I remember the last time I used the scheduled DND mode I kept missing calls and texts from people asking me where I was sitting at the bar or whatever. Now that you can choose what the silent switch does I'm surprised that one of the options isn't DND.

I feel like if it's always listening that would be a battery life killer, but I don't know how the feature is implemented, maybe it only listens in certain situations? If you have a 6S it is not meant to use any extra battery life, if you don't have a 6S it only listens when plugged in anyway.
