Aphrodite posted:I think you're safe as long as you don't do dumb things like drive for 8 hours with your giant phone in your pocket. C'mon maaaaaan! Sitting with a phone in your front pocket for extended hours is a fair use case. "don't sit with it that way" is even more ridiculous than "don't hold it that way." If he sat with it in his BACK pocket for 8 hours I'm with you, thats just dumb, But to have it bend while it is sitting on your lap is bad design. Its a phone for fucks sake. (again assuming the guys story is true) thepokey posted:How do you turn that off? Shouldn't that be turned off when notifications are turned off anyways? Yea one would think if notifications are off then it wouldn't repeat. Either way you can set the repeat notification function to "never" in notificiations-->your specific app

I just store my phone in the front of my pants right over my dick. As long as I keep my boner up, I can be sure that my phone will be safe and sound and won't bend. If you are a chick I guess you can't have a 6 plus.

XyrlocShammypants posted:Anand tech benchmarks are out and let's just say the Android patrol is in hiding I'm on the edge of the fence with Android and iPhone but I can't be the only one to not give any shits about benchmarking, especially across two very different OSs? I believe they do it just to for the clickbait because they know it'll leave fanboys frothing at the mouth seeing their phone have 2% performance in a bullshit benchmark. The battery life though, that's pretty impressive.

My new phone is asking me for the password to an appleid for my college email address that I stopped using multiple years before the first iPhone came out. I can't figure out what the password is and don't have access to the email account. It can't be for any apps, and my phone has no music on it but I'm guessing that's what it'd be for (I think I bought some iTunes songs a long time ago with that email). How can I figure out what wants that password and stop this? I don't care if I lose access to whatever that is.

ShoogaSlim posted:Any time I've had a ton of "other" stuff on my phone I would backup to iTunes, restore the phone to factory settings, then restore from that same backup and that storage space would magically return to me. My unconfirmed guess about this is that it's either podcast data or album artwork.

Does it happen to be the icloud account listed in the settings > music? You can try iforgot.apple.com . The recovery tools are pretty good now, although unfortunately that won't help you much if you set it up long enough ago.

I deleted the wrong email in the pop up I was getting when I unlocked my phone and typed in my appleid and password. That seems to have fixed it. No idea why it did that, hope that fixed it for good.

My 6 just arrived, this feels real nice coming from a 4s, should be even better once I get used to it in the hand. Build quality seems great but it has a slightly rattly camera (pretty sure the 4s was like this too actually), I'm going to go ahead and assume this is a non-issue but is anybody else's phone like this?

I always thought there would be many 6 Pluses suffering from cracked screens due to people sitting with them in their pockets; something similar happened with my Handspring Visor in high school. But given the phone's materials and construction, bending seems like the logical result. Bendgate will absolutely be a thing once some bored social media correspondent picks up on it.

ScarletBrother posted:Non-snarkily: is a screen protector necessary anymore? Eh maybe not for common use but I work in an environment where there is a nonzero chance of it getting exposed to stuff that isn't easily cleanable and may be worth chucking a protector if it gets exposed. Plus I store a work phone in the same pocket as my personal phone and I want to avoid scratching as much as possible.

Santas Ainol Elf posted:Apple recommends you fully discharge your phone at least once. It may not be about conditioning the battery so much as calibrating the battery power meter for the OS. No, they do not. Cycling the battery to recalibrate the meter was specific to one generation of notebook battery. iOS devices and newer notebook batteries do not use the same electronics and do not require recalibration. Use it, charge it when you need to, live life.

Not sure about you guys but my phone rests on my leg in my pocket and not in a pocket covering my balls. Also I'm guessing it's bad to wear pants in direct sunlight because it'll make them heat up and kill my swimmers.

SourKraut posted:I remember seeing studies that cell phones placed in the front pocket could impact sperm but am not sure if any more has ever come of it.  One of my buddies was saying something a while back about how he always puts his phone in his back pocket and I couldn't believe it. That can't be easier to reach than a front pocket, and you run the risk of breaking it a lot easier.
