Try the just released G board. It's all the talk in the apps thread and is really good so far.

I downloaded GBoard and it's definitely the best swipe gesture keyboard I've used for iOS. Very snappy and nowhere near as many glitches as Swype.

Hell yeah, thanks for the recommend. Google > Microsoft for everything except OS stuff. Wow crap, this keyboard is so good I question why Google decided to make it for iOS. It lessens the reasons to get an Android. The search integration is super cool and means it's iOS wide anywhere there's a keyboard, which before custom kbs was hard to do well.

So apparently phone locking is still a thing that happens? Haven't paid attention to these sorts of things for years, woulda assumed that was gotten rid of by now. Good poo poo. Glad it's still here. I've got a 4S that has I haven't used in a few years, but would like to get back into using. However, I don't want to use Fido  anymore.Apparently the iPhone 3 was still unlockable through jailbreaking, but this model isn't? I read the last few pages and some people recommend going to the carrier and paying the $50 (!!!!) to get it unlocked. Uhhh so with that figure in mind, are those services that show up in Google searches (like this one) ever worth it? Trustworthy? I don't want to pay $50 for this bullshit.

Carrier locking never went away and as long as carriers have a financial stake in your phone (be it by leasing it or by subsidizing it), it won't go away. The good news is that once that stake is gone (phone paid off/contract ended), the US carriers, at least, have no problem unlocking it for you for free. Or you can just buy unlocked and avoid all that As for you, those shady services are just a disgruntled employee at the carrier performing whatever needs to be done, so it should work just fine.

I'm not sure how things work in Canada, but your best bet, if you're out of contact, is to just go to your carrier and get it unlocked. Unlocking via jailbreak is a thing of the past and hasn't worked since... Like iOS 6 or 7 I think.

Took my phone in and with 795 charge cycles my battery still looked good to their diagnostic. But I had that bonus half moon front camera issue and a dim spot on the top left corner of the screen and they swapped it out with another 6 for me  I don't care what their diagnostic said about the battery but now I can use it and record 15 second videos without the battery life dropping from 60 to 13% and then when I charge it, it jumps back up to 54% or something. I know nobody cares but I am happy I can use my phone for more than 3 hours without it dying.

Was there some promotion through either apple or att to trade in your 6s and get the 6se or whatever the newest one with the smaller form factor is? I can't stand the 6s.

Unlock your 6S for $25, sell it for like $600 or $700, pay off the rest of the 6S payments, get the SE.

iPhone data usage question: why the hell would reloading the music on my phone (I noticed some tracks acting up, skipping or ending early, figured a reload would fix) would gobble up 2.5 gigs of cellular data? This is a wired sync. Unfortunately, the cellular data usage stats on the phone are all screwed up because I haven't reset the stats since 2013 and also haven't cared about my usage until today when I suddenly get told I'm at 90% of my data for the month. I have 6 gigs a month, so I'm uhhh...wondering where all my data went. Is this Wifi assist pulling hijinks? EDIT: Aaaannnd just as I post I realize what happened.  I left personal hotspot on...and I think my PC started using the hotspot. Shiiiiiiit. EDIT2: Super weird....Personal hotspot seemed to be stuck on...uhh.."on". I go in, I turn it off, I go back in and its on again. A powercycle seems to have fixed it. Thank GOD today's the last day of this billing cycle. Scary.

My iPhone 6 seems to make a very quiet buzzing noise when I scroll or make long touches to the screen. The screen has a dark spot/line that is about 1/3 of the length of the screen so I think something is obviously wrong with it. The buzzing is new though. I also have the off center front camera. I am out of warranty so I assume it is pretty unlikely to get this fixed by Apple?

Idk if this is still a thing, but Photos used to automatically sync your pictures to iCloud which would then create an iCloud album on your phone that had duplicates of everything.

My father in law called a while back saying his 6+ was doing a weird thing where it was flipping between screens or apps constantly and he couldnt control anything on it. He later took it ti verizon to ask them who had no clue but pointed out that his phone was bent. He pressed it hard against his leg and the phone straightened out and suddenly started working normally again. If he takes this to apple what are the chances they will replace his phone due to bending? Out of warranty / no apple care.

Khablam posted:Jeez. This is ancient history at this point but I did try your advice and sorry, but you're wrong. First, I didn't say this earlier but as soon as she discovered it missing all her friends tried the find my phone app from their iPhones. They got nothing back, because we had not set it up. Second, later that night I went to iCloud. As soon as I logged in it told me to gently caress off, as we had never set up any sort of iCloud functionality. Find my phone data is on by default, but is inaccessable without downloading and setting up the app. I even linked a page on apple's website stating exactly that in an earlier post. I'll post it again, read to the bottom. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201472 For someone who has never owned an apple product ever, this was new information. Only after trying all that did I disable it on my carrier website. I'll say it again: For anyone using an iPhone for the first time, download and enable the find my phone app, then go to iCloud and verify it. It was the first thing we did on the replacement phone. I just tried it again out of sheer PTSD and it worked, it pinged right on to where she is right now. So today her second iPhone stayed in her possession longer than her first one! Wish us luck. Also, the AT&T insurance provider had their own inventory of iPhones so I got an identical replacement overnight even though every apple and at&t store were out of stock in the entire SW Denver Metro area. FYI. And of course, after enabling find my phone, the next thing she did was install Neko Atsume so she could get all her cats back. Yes my daugther is a nerd.

LloydDobler posted:This is ancient history at this point but I did try your advice and sorry, but you're wrong. You don't need the app. You just need to make sure find my iPhone is enabled under iCloud settings and then you can access it on iCloud.com. When first setting the phone up it asks if you want to use Find my iPhone. You may have selected no on her original phone when setting it up, that's why it didn't give you that option.

You want this support page https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205362 The bottom of the page you linked to is for realizing you're SOL if you didn't turn on FMIP in iCloud settings, which you apparently did not.

Okay, so: 1) You don't need the app 2) It is NOT on by default 3) It prompts you to enable it during setup (very similar to having it on by default) 4) It is possible to skip it. I can't remember exactly how it prompted us to enable it but it obviously got overlooked. Very likely one of those "remember to go back and figure out how to do that" things. I mean, we didn't even create an appleID until the second day after getting it, and you need an appleID to use iCloud, so that is the most likely explanation to my chain of failure. Live and learn. Anyway, it is definitely enabled now, and hopefully this discussion proves useful to other newbies like me to double check that it's on if they want it on. I'm also over my hatred of apple, it's a great little phone.

My launch 6 had it. I thought it was from dropping it basically immediately after receiving it because the design is a lovely slippery mess, but apparently its a factory fault. as is the facetime camera not being centred in the window on the glass, or the screen not sitting flush with the chassis. Seriously a loving terrible design and I cannot fathom how they decided it would be at all a wise move to continue on with it into the iphone 7.

It would be fundamentally broken if you couldn't buy and sync stuff from iTunes, or stream and save stuff from Apple Music. It could use a lot of work, and I have a long wish list for Apple Music in iOS 10, but it's hardly "fundamentally broken" as long as you can listen to the stuff you want.

A friend gave me an iPhone 5S from their junk drawer, and I was hoping someone here might have seen the issues I'm seeing and recommend a possible resolution. I'm hoping to use it as a backup, and also as a trial to see if I would like an SE after having a 6.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
