I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
Is there a more generic authorization form for UPS to leave my package where they usually leave them than the one in the email link? As in one that looks less Apple-y/"THIS IS DEFINITELY AN IPHONE" for all my neighbors to see? I mean I'm 99% sure it'll be fine but you never know.

If you're that paranoid, call UPS and they can redirect your package to a UPS store.

I only got three! Ugh, I have a 12:30-1 appointment but then I have a dentist appointment at 1:15 in the same neighborhood, which I totally didn't think about at 4 AM when I made this reservation. I think I'm gonna get there around noon and see they can be nice and accommodate me a little early.

We've Got To Go Back

azzenco posted:

Yeah seems like it freezes a lot when scrolling a webpage and I scroll to an ad. It also crashes FB a lot. At home, I deleted my network from the phone and added it back and now it freezes a lot less. As in, once every ~30 mins instead of once every five minutes. Rebooting my phone seemed to have it working well for about ten minutes but that gets old.

Will test the network deleting thing at work.

Yes same here. FB freezes several times a day, and sometimes it causes my whole phone to freeze (nothing works) for a minute or two. Just now I was searching Apple Music when a text came thru. I tried to pull down the notification bar, but my screen went black. I couldn't make the screen cut back on (I could hear Siri, but no screen), and I even called myself from my work phone, but it never would ring. Finally I had to hard reset it. This becoming such the norm that I am having Android flashbacks from back in the day. It is a crap shoot of what kind of experience I am going to have.

What do you mean delete network? Like 'reset network settings'? I just did that just in case.

I am on a pretty new 6. I've thought about reinstalling everything, but I plan to get a 6s in the next couple of weeks.

Anyone have any empirical advice as to upgrading from an iPhone 5S (16GB)? I've historically used my previous phone to pay for and even make a few bucks when upgrading. However, with companies no longer subsidizing, all of these new plans are throwing me off.

I currently pay around ~$53 for 1GB of data w/ unlimited talk/text on Verizon through a legacy plan. Between data warnings when I'm off wifi and storage concerns, I realize its going to cost plenty more for a 64GB 6S with more data.

tl;dr I'm not married to any one company for service since I live in the city, and am debating whether to buy the phone outright or pay each month. My contract is over on 10/22.

You should go to one of the new plans, 3GB of data w/ unlimited talk/text is $55 before device financing.

Paying for the phone up front is really a personal choice, but you can pay "nothing" up front for a 64GB 6S and pay ~$30/mo for the device over the course of 24 months at 0% interest (assuming your credit isn't poo poo). The new plan structures are way better than the old structure because if you choose to keep your phone longer than 2 years or pay for it up front; you have a cheaper monthly bill. If you decide to finance You pay less money up front ($0 other than taxes in most cases), your bill is about what it was under the old structures (not so in your case, but true for most people).

Money now is worth more than money later as well, so if price is your only concern and you can pay no interest, please opt for the monthly payments. :ohdear:

If you have the cash now you can even put it into a savings account or something and withdraw the $30/month and collect the negligible interest!

I just tried with dropbox and it seems extremely hit or miss. The only file I could get it to bring up in search is my favorites.xml that Transmit syncs, no other file or folder names did anything.

If I lived and mostly stayed in the city I would just buy whatever phone you want outright and switch to T-Mobile. Their plans are cheaper and seem to be pretty good service inside of major cities. However when we travel, my friends with T-Mobile usually lose service where on Verizon, I'm still going strong.

I was on TMO for ~8 months and I live in a fairly major city (Raleigh, NC) that on the coverage map should be great, but the service here was poo poo, back on Verizon now and won't go back.

Seems that the actual searching within IS borked. It will find things that I have opened from dropbox, but if I have not opened them they do not show up in search results. I searched for a part of the filename and it returned results for stuff I've opened but searching for 'resume' returned nothing until I opened it in Dropbox.

Wondering if this is an issue with the use of the API or something else? Mail app returns results as expected ..

Okay, so I usually wait in line for upgrades, but I finally wised up and got in on a pre-order.

When you swap out phones at home, do you have to pull out the sim card from the 6+ and put it in the 6S+? I was so tired last year I don't remember if the Apple sales guy did that part or not.

Also, if I want to give my 6+ to someone on another carrier, should I call AT&T to see if they'll unlock it, or should I go through a third party?

Thanks!

When I have ordered from Apple the phone came with a SIM for the line it was ordered on. The activation ONLY worked with that line's SIM but after you could swap the SIM if you needed to.

If your 6+ is paid off and still carrier locked just submit a request here : https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/

It is painless and is done very quick in most cases (same day for me last time).

For what it's worth, the Dropbox update notes explicitly state that Spotlight can only search documents you've viewed recently or have saved for offline access. I'm betting that Spotlight only works on data actually on your phone and can't search non-Apple clouds (since I assume that would require that app to open their cloud to Spotlight).

Think I'm having issues with Mail in iOS 9. I've barely used it (1 minute on screen in last 24 hours) yet it's used so much background activity in the last 24 hours it's the biggest drain on my phone, despite me using it a ton.

Also it's saying that my usage and standby are exactly the same amount of time, which is obviously wrong.

Well I think I figured it out, although it's real dumb. If your Exchange accounts aren't part of the apple mail/calendar/accounts section, apparently Sunrise can't connect to them any longer, but will still display the outdated calendar entries :confused:

I guess I didn't realize it was remora fished it way to calendar support by that.

Go to a Cricket store and get a nanoSIM? Or just cut down the microSIM.

The "deep search" doesn't seem to work for me. Everything is turned on for all apps under spotlight search and I've been on 9 since the GM came out. I just updated to 9.0.1 and it still doesn't work. I've rebooted and also gone down the list turning search results off and back on for all apps. Any ideas what else I could try?

Anyone else in here using google contacts and calendar with their iPhone?

I did some googling and apparently only changes you make on your iPhone are pushed instantly to your Google account. The other way around though, if you make changes on the web or from an android device, push doesn't work. So far so good.

I set fetch to manual because I'm pretty much adding calendar events and contacts 99% of the time from my iPhone. Calendar events sync as soon as I open my calendar app.
The problem is contacts.app. No matter what I do it just won't sync. The refresh button in the upper left corner does nothing. The only way I can force a sync is when I change something else on the iPhone. For example when I add another contact the little spinning wheel appears and it pushes the change to Google and at the same time it seems to fetch the changes I made on the web or on my android tablet.

I honestly can't remember if it has always been this way or if iOS 9 broke the refresh button in contacts.app

Deep Linking/Universal Search: I was complaining about Dropbox above in this thread. Turns out it's only recently viewed items. I tested it by launching the Dropbox app and OPENING a file on my phone. Then I searched it in the Spotlight Search and it was the first hit.
