Also unless you were wearing yoga pants while pointing your phone at the reader, then you could still be whiter. I used Apple Pay at a Walgreens yesterday; the clerk said he had never seen that before, and asked if I was Canadian because he heard they had that up there.

the kawaiiest posted:It's phone wide for me as well (also on a 5s). In fact my wifi dropped last night while I was watching YouTube videos on my phone and I only realized it when I got a message from T-Mobile saying that I had gone over my data limit. I have phone-wide wifi issues as well on my 5s.  Jose Oquendo posted:I'd agree with you on that. For those of you with wifi troubles, have you tried the basics for troubleshooting? That's not really fair to say. I never had wifi issues until I downloaded iOS 8, but the difference is night and day. It's obviously something with the software causing it, and there are obviously multiple people experiencing it, so whatever it is they did it hosed it up. The home router I use is one of those verizon fios ones and while I could fiddle around with it, I really shouldn't have to when everything was working perfectly fine until I downloaded an official apple update. And I can't just request a new router because my phone is working weird. Sorry, but it's just frustrating to hear people dismiss these issues, too. They're obviously real and at this rate, unless they actually fix it, I'm going to have to live with much shittier connection, get a new data plan (I don't have unlimited data to counteract this bullshit) or get a new phone. Great options.

So per the Slow-mo artifacting discussion, here is one example and probably not even the worst. Now, naturally, it gets compressed being uploaded to Vimeo, but even then, if you look at his legs around the 20 second mark, you can see evidence of like pixel/artifact smoothing/ghosting. Like focus on the grass in the spaces his legs are leaving as they move. https://vimeo.com/110084963

Clocks posted:I have phone-wide wifi issues as well on my 5s. Do you have issues with other wifi networks? Also, if you're leasing your modem/router combo from your ISP (which are usually giant pieces of poo poo in my experience) you can pretty easily get a replacement from them. I'm not sure what the process is for this when dealing with Verizon. I know when I leased one from Comcast, I could just take it to the nearest Comcast store and say 'hey this thing don't work' and they'd give me a new one with no hassle. I know it's frustrating. I'm just relating things to you that I've observed and fixes I've found. I understand how it feels.

Whirlwind Jones posted:The thief who steals your wallet agrees. So you would just leave your credit card at home so you don't have the incredibly onerous task of pressing the cancel my card button on your online banking in the incredibly unlikely event it gets nicked? And be completely unable to use ATMs? That makes literally no sense, if my wallet gets stolen that costs all up around $40 of replacement cards - the card will be cancelled by the time the thief gets a few blocks away. If my phone gets stolen that's like a grand straight up.

Jose Oquendo posted:Do you have issues with other wifi networks? I only ever connect to my home network so I don't know, but I'll talk to my husband about the router. I hadn't thought of that. Unrelated: I woke up this morning to a warning that my Apple account had been disabled "due to multiple failed login attempts". I had to restore it using the recovery key. I have a super secure password that I don't even know by heart (super long, randomly generated) and two-factor authentication enabled, but I went ahead and changed my password anyway just in case. Is there any way I can find out the IP address of whoever tried to access my account? I'm asking because I've been dealing with a stalker for the past ~7 years and he has tried to hack my email/google/etc accounts in the past. I thought I'd gotten rid of him but now I'm worried that he might be after me again.

He probably just tried to log into your iCloud account via iCloud.com and used the wrong password too many times. If your password is super secure then I wouldn't bother changing it. Also 2 factor authentication should rule out anything even if he's able to somehow get your password.

If the attempt was from an iDevice it would likely show the name of the device like "An iPhone named Adam's iPhone recently attempted to log into your iCloud account" but I'm not entirely sure maybe they only send that email if it successfully logs in.

Yeah, I think he was probably just trying to log in via icloud.com or something. Ah well, I'm pretty sure it was him anyway. I keep telling myself he's given up but every few months he comes back. Thanks for your help.

What is the defacto recommendation for car mounts? My wife and I started driving Uber, and the hands free setup would be super convenient. I remember there being one many many pages ago, that seemed to be well liked, that went in the air vents. Any recommendations are appreciated!

We've had verizon over about 6-7 times in the past year and a half we've lived here because of building issues so the last thing I want to do is fiddle with it. I mean, that's unrelated, but I'm not the most technical and motivated person so getting new routers in an attempt to fix a phone software issue is troublesome.

I love my 6+, but man, it's so utterly apparent that the design of iOS is not meant for large screens. I think Apple will eventually redesign the OS with large screens in mind, but it's probably going to take at least a year with iOS9, which sucks. I wish they had done more than the reachability thing to prepare the OS for a 5.5" screen. I hope by next year that the main functions in Apps are moved to the bottom of the screen from the top. I don't expect to use this phone 100% of the time with one hand, it's just too big for that. However, if they concentrated more buttons and functions in the bottom right/left of the screen (depending on your dominant hand) you could do a hell of a lot more with one hand than you can now.

Do you guys use your dominant or nondominant hand to hold your phone (obviously 6+ users need both, haha!)? I'm right handed but holding it in my right hand feels very awkward.

I think I could deal with the drawbacks of the size (I tried it today and the 6+ fits in my pocket), but I just don't see the benefits for me in day-to-day operation. In the rare instances I watch a video or use navigation in the car, I'll probably be wishing I got the plus. Maybe next time I upgrade I'll be ready for a big phone.

fordan posted:So apparently while Apple Pay worked just fine at CVS and Rite Aid in those stores that had NFC terminals, they've decided to disable it corporate wide. Because their Merchant Consumer Exchange solution is better than Apple Pay/NFC because it uses QR codes. And lets them track you and your information even without requiring shopper cards. Or at least it will be better when it's released sometime in 2015. The weird bit is the lights at the top of the readers are still green at my CVS so nothing indicating that they're off. Couldn't say if they work, though, as I have a 5S. CVS still runs on 90's era Javascript, though. so what do you expect?

So awhile back I mentioned that I was gonna get this Ebony case from Carved. It came a few days ago, and I like it. It's very thin, about as thin as Apple's leather cases are. The wood backing gives it a really cool in-hand feel, though because the edges of the case are plastic it feels a little less secure in my hand then it did in the leather case. It still feels more secure than the bare phone does, though. Protection wise, the case isn't great; it leaves most of the top and bottom of the phone uncovered, though it does cover enough of the corners that I don't feel like I have to worry about it getting dropped on the corner and smashing the screen. The sides of the case are very nearly flush with the screen itself, so while I do lose the very nice curved edges of the phone it is easier to do swipe gestures from the side than it was with a the Apple Leather case, whose edges are raised up just enough to make swiping from a few apps (most notably the Awful app) unreliable. I'll take some pictures tomorrow if people want--I think that the gold showing through the clear portion of the case contrasts with the black ebony nicely. The clear case is also handy if you have LED alerts enabled, it shines through and you can see the light flash even if it's screen side up on a desk. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Oct 27, 2014 |

My iPhone 6+ 128gb does this great thing whenever I sync new music to it through iTunes where it redefines all my music currently on there as "other" and only shows my purchased music in the music app, forcing me to restore from back up and resync. Awesome. Only takes about 3 hours.

I have a Linksys E-1000, and the latest firmware was released in March, so after updating and having a small scare,because it took a few minutes before working normal, everything is normal, and the wifi issues seem mostly over. I always noticed it worked better on LTE once I switched to iOS 8, so it was never my hardware. Update your firmware!
