When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Do you guys experience the same thing if you use Paper instead?

Yes. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it either.

What's the current best ad blocker for ios9? I wanted one that would block ads on youtube as well, ads on there are getting pretty out of control.

Why are my Verizon voice mails showing up as garbled text Messages? I swapped my Verizon SIM from an Android device if that matters.

I've been pushing 1Blocker in this thread since day one. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I haven't given them money or anything even though those stupid social share widgets grind my gears.

Do you manually close the app when you're done? I was having massive battery issues with Facebook (like 10 minutes on screen and 10 hours in the background).

I found by closing the app afterwards it has limited the issue.

Because you're not provisioned for iOS visual voicemail. The Android VVM app uses those goofy looking SMS messages to notify your phone you've got a new voicemail.

I've found the easiest way to straighten this out is to go onto your account and turn Advanced Calling off and then back on. Doing that will cause your voicemail to get re-provisioned for iOS.

Thanks. Does Advanced Calling need to be fully activated before I try disabling it again? It looks like might have some old features on the account that are preventing it from activating, not sure where those are located. Also, let me know if this issue should be taken to the Verizon thread instead.

After using Wifi calling on AT&T for the last week or so, I've shut it off.

It was too buggy for me. It would constantly switch while mid-call which would cause a 3-4 silence and I was missing critical part of sentences.

Oh well, I'll try again in a few months, maybe it'll be better by then.

Alright, since I am having a hell of a hard time finding something like this, and i don't really know where to ask, i'll ask here.

I have the thule X3 case for my iphone, and the audio jack hole is pretty narrow, so I am trying to find an adapter like this: http://amzn.com/B00ZK43S4Q but with only 2 rings instead of 3.

I found and ordered this one: http://amzn.com/B00LWV7PEA but it ended up being too wide still. It is the only 2 ring one that I can seem to find that isn't 4 feet long (And even then, the one that is 4' long looks like it may be a bit too wide as well.

I need the adapter for my car cassette player adapter, which is way too big for the case audio port hole.

Anyone run into trouble like this? Are there any 2 ring adapters that are like that 3 ring adapter I linked above, where it is actually really narrow near the plug? Or maybe a cassette player adapter that has a narrow enough end?

You may have friends with tools. Or you could buy a tool.

But yeah, I don't know the measurements of 3.5mm jack extender plugs. You could also just use a steak knife or nail file or brick wall to file down the edges of the ones you already bought I guess?

Swapped my 6S with a faulty backlight for a new one at the Genius Bar. Got a TSMC one this time. I know it's probably the placebo effect, but I do seem to get better battery life in the couple of days I've had this new one.

Also liking the Apple (black) leather case. I hate the feel of the rubber and plastic cases, but this one feels nice.

Ah, yeah. I took an xacto to the cassette jack and now it fits. Guess I can return these adapters now. Can't believe I didn't think of that...

does it have to be 2 ring? if you plug a two ring headset into that it should still work properly I think

it really is a problem though. I couldn't use a new headset I bought because when I put it in my pocket the jack would jiggle and trigger voice control. thread on apple support re: that problem on the iphone 6 is pretty huge

I don't think you can do this in the dialer, but you can do this in the home screen search by pulling down to expose the search bar, then just start typing their names. You'll get shortcuts to phoning or texting them.
