Does anyone know how to stop iMessage from dissociating with a phone number when you change the SIM in the phone that had that number? When I travelled to Spain last month I got a local prepaid SIM for cheap data and to save money vs roaming, but when I swapped the SIMs my permanent number got removed from iMessage and the prepaid SIM's number was added. Going to be traveling again next month and hoping I can prevent the issue when I do the same thing again. fordan fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Oct 11, 2015 |

The sure fire way I've seen to do it is as follows: grab another iPhone, and keep your home SIM in it while you've got the foreign one in your main phone. Then iMessage won't drop the home number. If you're on a GSM carrier and have no other iPhone handy I'm sure you could craigslist yourself an iPhone 5 with a busted screen for cheap. After all it doesn't have to actually do anything but boot up and let you sign into iMessage.

For that matter, a 4 or 4s and a SIM adapter will be even cheaper and work just as well for this purpose.

Anybody else not getting any service? I lost service around 9.0.1 and have been carrying a wifi phone for the last two weeks Apple says it's my carriers fault (Rogers), Rogers says its apples fault. I've done all the moves: switch sims 4 times, factory resets, old back ups, diagnostics, reset network sim with Rogers tech, tried the beta, tried to quit smoking, have done hard and soft resets, airplane mode, reset network settings... Edit: it's an iPhone 6.

Today I came home and decided to play around with my phone while putting my kid down for a nap. Everything was like 10 seconds delayed. But to. Presses. Physical button (home and sleep) presses. Typing my name took over a minute, letter by letter. I took a demo video of it with another camera and then restored my phone. When I came home my phone has a pop-up that said the restore was incomplete and connect to iTunes for remaining apps but I *was* connected. That was where I restored from. I don't mind just deleting most of the apps but a couple are games I have some unfinished progress in. Any thoughts on the best way to proceed? [edit] Nevermind. Just plugged it back into iTunes. I was afraid I would have to delete-re-add so I was afraid I'd lose data/progress but it was just ready to install the rest. Feenix fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Oct 12, 2015 |

virinvictus posted:Anybody else not getting any service? well try a sim card from another gsm service/roger line and see if it works? if either of those work its obv your sim card/line/rogers carrier settings (although if it was the last one im sure lots of rogers subs would be complaining), and if another rogers sim works its def your sim card. either get another from another carrier or ask rogers to get their poo poo together alternatively if neither of those work its your phone and you should ask apple to get their poo poo together

virinvictus posted:Anybody else not getting any service? For what it's worth I've had noticeably worse reception (both cellular and wifi) since switching from a 5 to a 6S - right now I'm sat at my desk and have no service where I've never had problems before, sometimes at home I can be one room away from the router and have wifi time out. I'm pretty sure I upgraded my 5 to 9.0.1 without problems before I switched devices, but not certain. I've also had the 6S replaced for an unrelated problem and nothing changed there, so it rules out an individual hardware fault. This is in the UK with Three. Can I be the first to coin signalgate?

Question Mark Mound posted:Decided to pick up Dark Sky because on the one-hour notification. Since it needs to be regularly checking on my location and picking up on the weather report from there, can anyone comment on what it's like for battery and data usage with the one-hour notification switched on? It’s fine. Your phone constantly knows your location anyway for various reasons, and I’m sure Dark Sky hooks that location data to figure out where you are.

I never close the app, and it shows 1% over 7 days on my battery panel. It doesn't light up your GPS like say Runkeeper would, instead it passively looks for your location via location services (much like asking siri to remind you to do something when you get home). iOS defines a lot of classes of location information apps can call and it doesn't seem to nail you to a particular precise spot until you open the app and are using it in the foreground.

I'm still in the habit of the iOS 5 or whatever says of anything location related being a battery-killer and thinking that if I can see the little location arrow in my status bar, I could practically count the battery percentage falling.

Left field question, but my wife's Facebook App looks different than mine when she looks at comments or likes. Mine  Hers  Same iOS version and same Facebook version (I checked). There has to be a setting I am missing to get mine to show up this new way. Any ideas (I have deleted the app and reinstalled it)?

Facebook does continuous integration in a neat way, they push out changes to random groups of people. So it's common you'll see a slightly different Facebook UI than someone else, until they put out all the fires and roll it out for everyone. Not sure that's what's happening there though. As far as I know their big day is Tuesday, I doubt they'd make big changes before a weekend. Regardless, mine looks like yours, not like hers.

Ok that makes sense. Just to be clear she first noticed this when we upgraded to the iPhone 6 in late August. So it has been over a month now (maybe some long term testing). We are getting 6s' this week or next, so maybe that will flip her back to the normal version. Hopefully the app ends up doing the way hers is, because I like it more.

That I have not experienced, but I don't use Siri at all. I have had to slow down in typing my passcode because of the update, though, and I have noticed no improvement in battery life. I suspect we're being forced into obsolescence and eventual updating, but Apple can sit and spin as far as I'm concerned.

Can I view iOS notifications anywhere once I've unlocked my phone? Due to the speed of Touch ID on my 6s I've woken the phone, seen there's a notification about iCloud or something, but it unlocks before I can read it. These notifications aren't shown in the notification centre either.

If it's part of their CI it'll be tied to your account, not your device. Regardless, if they decide to go with it, you'll get it eventually. Don't worry too much about it.

My iPhone 6S gets noticeably warm after maybe 10-15 minutes of light use. I mean like playing candy crush or browsing the web. This has never been an issue for me on my previous iPhones. Has anyone else run into this. I plan on taking it to the Apple Store but appointments are booked until next week so it'll be a week or so. It also seems that battery life is total garbage on this phone. Like I get the 20% notification an awful not now and I don't remember getting it that often in the past.

These notifications aren't shown in the notification centre either. Probably either set them so that they do show up in the notification center or start learning to turn on the phone screen with the lock button or with a non-TouchID finger. I agree this is not ideal and I'm definitely still trying to get used to it.

I had occasional similar issues before and it seemed like it was a system process run amok and a reboot resolved it. That was several generations ago though.
