Endless Mike posted:As soon as you started talking about flashing ROMs, I'm out. I've got better things to do with my time than janitor my car stereo. I just want something that I can turn on and it works, which is why I'm only even considering it, since the stock Bluetooth works perfectly. Pick literally any pioneer out there and you won't hate it. Just make sure it has Bluetooth and is a 2015 model. Beyond that, if you want extra subs and poo poo make sure it has sub preouts. Just be a normal adult and buy it from crutchfield and get your free install gear and tech support. Hell they overnighted me a free replacement dash kit because the one I got had a tiny crack in it. Also gently caress best buy. They disabled contactless payment a while ago. Used to be able to buy tvs with my phone. Now? Can't buy a loving soda. Best buy can eat a dick.

Contactless payment is dumb because everyone has to carry both their wallet and their phone with them basically no matter what, so why not just use the card. Everything you can get at Best Buy is way cheaper on Amazon . Best Buy is a total misnomer.

uninterrupted posted:30-pin or lightning port will work, the headphone jack won't, that's why. Unless something has changed in the past 24 hours since I looked at it, the iphone has a TRRS jack with mic in support. The included earbuds even have an inline mic. So I'm pretty sure that's the exact opposite of a straight answer to, "why wouldn't I connect a microphone to the mic input on the iPhone's TRRS jack, with an adapter or otherwise?" moron izzard fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Apr 28, 2015 |

Yeah, this is weird. They sell lavs, crappy condenser mics, even XLR adapters. They all go into the headphone jack. There are some actual quality ones from good brands that plug into the Lightning port. I assume it has a higher bitrate or something like that?

Does anyone occasionally receive MMS messages instead of iMessages in some group conversations? I don't understand how I'm getting these despite having my email as an iMessage recipient. Thoughts here?

Here's one that takes batteries and feeds phantom power back to the mic. http://www.amazon.com/TASCAM-iXZ-Instrument-input-iPhone/dp/B005NZ05J8 Or maybe you want just one of these. http://www.amazon.com/Rode-SC4-inches-Microphone-Cable/dp/B00L6C8PN0/ It's got this picture next to it which looks pretty legit to me that it works.

Yeah Amazon hasn't been cheaper for normal brand name stuff for a while now. I've been shopping at Best Buy more in the last 2 years than I have in the previous 10 before that.

I'm actually trying to pull audio in from an ancient Bell land line telephone (yes this doesn't make a lot of sense DONT ASK WHAT THE PROJECT IS). I was halfway through writing this post when further testing revealed that my current setup was working (this startech adapter and [url = http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0034I75IK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1] this loving thing[/url]) but the audio levels are just way, way, way low. If there is a suitable usb or lightning adapter this will take a 1/8 mono plug and preamp it or whatever, I'm all ears (or possible other more economical solutions)

I was having trouble with the ring/silent switch on my launch day 6 going haywire and ringing when I had it on silent and vice versa, so I brought it into the Apple Store today and they gave me a new one for free  That's the second time I've gotten a brand new replacement phone for free from them while in warranty (I think the first one was my 4) and it rules just as much the second time.Apparently my front camera on the one I was having trouble with was misaligned too? Which I never even noticed, but the new one I got has one that's supposed to be more accurate, so that's rad.

edit: ^^ I have the misaligned camera too and it's gotten a little worse since I got the phone on launch day. Hadn't affected image quality and been too busy to take it in.^^ I don't know what you're recording with appwise but maybe try one that lets you set the input gain higher too (maybe at the expense of distortion). I don't know what iOS sets the default to be, but the SDK looks like an app that's better than the free sound recorder could adjust it. kitten smoothie fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Apr 28, 2015 |

If it doesn't increase gas mileage, they don't care. (no hate, Mazda3s GT owner) The only company I can see adding it in a future patch would be Ford as they have been providing software updates to MyFordTouch constantly over the years.

They replaced the screen with no trouble, it just took them an hour to do it. My new front camera is already showing the same issue again after only 2 weeks. From what I found it is actually a tiny piece of foam that is slipping out of place between the camera and the glass, and it can't move far enough to affect pictures. Still annoying though.

I just noticed this on my 6 today. I though I was imagining things. does yours also have a wobbly screen? When I press on the corner of mine it has some give. Maybe that's causing the issue It's my second one. The first had something wrong with the headphone jack (I actually dropped it and there was a nasty scratch on the screen) they replaced it without issue. I am thinking of holding on a replacement until before I flip it for the 6s just_a_guy fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Apr 28, 2015 |

It was $200 off a Surface Pro 3 before there was basically a firesale on the thing. I just told them I was aware of their policy and totally understood if they didn't want to price match an amazon third party but I thought I'd ask them and see before I just bought it off the internet. I'm sure it's different when you're buying a $1500 machine (and the cost) vs. a $50 video game but I'm glad Best Buy is starting to get their poo poo together and compete vs. fade away into nothing like Circuit City. fake edit: I worked at Circuit City in high school and it was the most fun job I've ever had. Sad they tried to be Best Buy (at the time) and went out of business.

So I'm kind of confused about this: I got a new router today, a Netgear AC, because my previous router died, and that one was also a Netgear and also an AC I think, but it was a couple years old and not as fast as the new one I got. My previous router had 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ functionality, and I know the 5GHZ network was set up correctly because certain devices in my house were able to find it and connect to it, but my iPhone never did. I get this new router this evening and set it all up and suddenly my iPhone is able to connect to its 5GHZ network and is now running way faster through WiFi than it ever has before. What gives?

Consumer routers are universally poo poo these days, if you manage to find one that actually works it's probably got some gaping unpatched remote vulnerability. You really got to get into the enthusiast area to find any quality. Or spend thousands on enterprise stuff.

Apparently iOS 8.4 is available as a public beta but when I enrolled on the Appleseed public beta site (http://appleseed.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/) it's only mentioning OSX after I log in. Did I read wrong about iOS betas being publicly available a little while after developers get them?

Anyone else having a weird volume issue? I can be actively using my phone, going in between apps, listening to music, etc, and out of nowhere the volume will reduce drastically. Without the volume bar moving. It turns itself down so much that when I do turn the volume bar up all the way, it is not loud at all. Usually volume all the way up while wearing EarPods will hurt my ears. Not when this happens though. A reboot always fixes it. Any thoughts?

I just had that happen in Century City, except just that game has muted volume and everything else is fine. But I'm okay with it because the sounds in that game are annoying.
