Nin is amazing and it’s a pity that third-party keyboards are still jacked up. There is a jailbreak tweak that allocates more memory to Nin and other third-party keyboards that helps them pop up more quickly and stay in memory more easily. But understandably not everyone wants to jailbreak.

Any time I install a third party keyboard , even if I'm not using it, it causes problems with Quick Reply in that the keyboard just doesn't appear. I know 8.3 was supposed to fix this but i still had issues so I just stick to stock now.

And for my anecdotal evidence, it works fine for me with just the emoji keyboard turned on, and SwiftKey. Quick Reply never uses that keyboard however, always the stock. And sometimes the phone forgets that I have SwiftKey as my preferred keyboard, but it has never caused a problem for me.

Can someone explain the screenshot message to me? I get that when I switch on the iCloud Photo Library option. I won't lose my photos will I? I'm guessing they'll just be uploaded to iCloud?

It's annoying, only solution is to upload them all to iCloud using the website or photos.app on OS X.

I just cleaned most of the pics and all of the videos off my phone. I'm left with 178 pics, yet when I go into iCloud settings, it says that my next backup requires 6GB of storage for my camera roll. It seems that Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing both doesn't count against the iCloud storage, so I'm stumped as to how I need 6GB for 178 pics and no videos. Any ideas?

Try toggling the photo library backup on then off again to force a recalculation.

Having Root access to the file systemwide iFile, so movies and stuff that I download can be moved to the media folder of relevant apps to be viewed later. Kodi (was XBMC) for watching mkv movies without stuttering. Also great for full HD 1080p and being able to hook it up to the TV with the HDMI adapter. Blocking adverts system wide with host file modifiers. No more pop ups and App Store opening randomly when browsing the web. F.lux to prevent my retinas melting when I use my phone at night. Protect My Privacy allows me to have custom control on an app-to-app basis on what information about me/my phone apps get access to. You'd be surprised at what information some apps try to harvest without your knowledge! Not needing to use Facebook's Messenger app (for above reasons) and using older modified versions of FB to use the in app messenger still. Safari Downloader for saving videos on the fly. Using Reach App so I can run a second app or a video in the 'Reachability' pane. It's important to note that I don't use a desktop/laptop at all so this is my main media consumption device. Being able to download/juggle/delete media on the fly without having to plug into iTunes is amazing.

Went to take my 6 in for a screen replacement, they ended up replacing the entire phone for the cost of the screen repair because their calibration machines were broken. I restored the new phone from my backup from this morning, but like 90% of my apps are just stuck on "waiting...". What gives? This is affecting my ability to swipe people on Tinder so it's very important that I resolve this!!!!!

I have an iPhone 6 and animated gifs have stopped working. Even ones I've downloaded previously, which initially played, are now only viewable as static images. I used to be able to send gifs as mms/imessage and on fb messenger with no problem, now they also send as static images. Anyone else experiencing this or have a fix?

I've been using Amazon Basics for years and have never had a problem. It has like 4.3 stars average after 8,500 reviews on Amazon.com, I'm not sure how perfect you need the thing to be. It's a great value and the connector is solid (more solid than Apple OEM) but still fits most cases.

Well, it's just that the most recent reviews (last two months) are talking about batches of cables coming in faulty. While it's probably a temporary issue I kind of need it now so I was looking at options.

So what are my best options if I want to be able to use my phone while I'm on a 10 day trip in Europe? I have a 6 and its non-jail broken on an AT&T contract. AT&T offers some ridiculously expensive international data plans. Can I buy a month of service from another provider and just pop a new SIM card in, or does my phone need to be jail broken for that?

As long as it isn't subsidy-locked, just buy a cheap prepaid SIM. You may need a new one per country depending on operators. (I think you may need to call AT&T, tell them you'll be overseas and need to remove the subsidy lock so you can use a local SIM. Verizon owners are luckier and can just use local SIMs due to spectrum auction terms requiring Verizon not to subsidy lock.)

My family ended up enduring like a $500+ extra ATT data bill between all of us for the int'l data during a 1-week trip to Mexico. Their prices are absolute highway robbery. I have found that if you don't speak the language in a non-English speaking foreign country, it's difficult to find these prepaid SIMs, and we weren't able to easily do so in Mexico. What country or countries are you visiting? You will need to have an unlocked phone via https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/ to use a foreign SIM.

Back on cable chat for a second. My monoprice cable died a couple of weeks ago after like two years. Sent them an email explaining it wasn't charging anymore and they sent me a replacement. Amazon is pretty cool so they would probably do the same.

Asking for help: I've had an iPhone 6 for about two months. Got it through work. I quit that job, got a new job, so I basically got the phone for free and signed a month-to-month contract with Verizon. I was in Florida yesterday, before getting on the plane was able to play games, had 3 or 4G connectivity, no problem. When I got off the plane at home (in Iowa) it only has LTE, no games can connect but I can still browse through Safari and what not. It's not a huge deal but kind of annoying. Googling around gave me some solutions but none of em worked like resetting network settings, popping out the SIM card and so on. Any ideas? Should I just go to the store and see if they can fix it?

I got that occasionally in the iOS6 days, most often when I went through areas with lovely cell access. Like the signal was technically there, but not strong enough for the phone to do anything about it. So it would just completely wedge the cell link and no amount of fudging with options would fix it.. I had to do a complete power off and let it reboot to get things working again. Hasn't happened in a while though.
