What’s the proper way to initiate a FaceTime-Audio call from Contacts?  I carefully press the handset 📞 icon on the right and like 75% of the time, it initiates a video call instead. No screen-obscuring case or anything. It’s been an issue for a long time.

I’m sitting here looking at my old 7+ with full bars/cell signal and my new iPhone X activated yesterday with only 2 bars of service. What gives?

Cool. I can initiate Hangouts calls from there too. Near trick, but I wish the other button worked right.

Does anyone know when they usually release the unlocked versions of the iPhone? I want to grab an iPhone X but I have T-Mobile. The T-Mobile versions don't have CDMA compatibility and I wanted to have the option to switch to Verizon if I need too. I was going to see if I could order a Verizon one and use my T-Mobile sim but you have to have a Verizon account to purchase one

A buddy came over last night to hang. He asked for the WiFi password. Just as I unlocked my phone(to send him the string), I got a prompt asking if I wanted to automatically share the WiFi password with him. I confirmed it and he instantly connected to the network. I was pretty shocked at how seamless the process was. Felt like the “just works” slogan, but with sincerity. Apples to oranges, but it makes me wish the UI in iOS had that magic. Nothing really seems intuitive anymore, especially when we’re taking shortcuts, and every couple pages someone figures out something they had no idea existed for years. I know the answer to this is “use the Tips app/3D touch everything/longpress everthting” which I can certainly do on my own, but I’d like to see my friends and family similarly using iOS to the best of its ability.

io_burn posted:lmao, I talked Joe into posting that. Apple has been so open and honest with the fact that facial similarities between siblings/twins will likely fool Face ID, but sure enough, that post is getting shared like a MOTHERFUCKER. Few things bring more joy to the internet than a perceived chink in Apple's armor. Yeah those bros might not be twins but might as well be twins for how closely they look alike.

What does the iPhone do better than Android? Sorry if this is a common/irritating question. I have never not had an Android phone, but I'm butthurt about the lack of support I've received for my defective Nexus 6P, and considering a switch.

I compared my Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6s a few months ago in Google Maps navigation and the Android phone seemed to be running at about 12fps while iOS was super smooth.

bartkusa posted:What does the iPhone do better than Android? What does the iPhone do objectively better than Android? Well, it certainly integrates with other Apple products and their ecosystem (iCloud, iMessage, AirDrop, etc.) better. Timeliness and guarantees of security and OS updates are certainly more consistent with iOS, but that can be helped by buying a Pixel. Customer service is generally better, though again that can be helped by buying a Pixel. You still won't have a Google Store to walk into to get a same-day swap/repair of a device if needed, but I believe Google's support is supposed to be decent and better than the other Android OEMs. If you choose the lowest common denominator, then yeah it's easy to argue that Android is still trash. But that's probably not the device you're comparison shopping against. Star War Sex Parrot fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Nov 4, 2017 |

Hardware wise, Apple tends to be as good or better than the top line Android phones for quality but often lags behind in terms of spec sheet features (the System on a Chip of the last couple generations of iPhone being notable exceptions). So Apple gets wireless charging later than Android, big phones later, OLED later etc etc. But when it comes it's generally more fully integrated into the hardware and OS and tends to work better. (Not always! There are plenty of bugs and annoyances to be had on Apple devices.) Software wise, Apple tends to go for opinionated consistency over user customization. There are a lot of power user moves that are common on Android but missing on iOS (notifications and laying out widgets/home screens are common complaints - iOS's notifications are not as full featured as Android's and there aren't quite widgets the way there are on Android). Because Apple controls the full iOS deal, there is less bloatware pre-installed and less malware for download. Generally, if you are a new Apple user one of the harder adjustments is letting Apple be Apple and going with what it wants you to do instead of trying to force it to behave the way you are used to. Most of the time, you will find the Apple way works fine for you, once you learn it. iOS tends to be renown for better polish, stability, and security though the Goon consensus seems to be that iOS 11 was a kind of janky release. Because Apple controls the stack, you get frequent security updates and Apple has over the past few years moved from an annual major update approach to annual updates plus fairly regular point releases with new features. Like with hardware, many features show up in Android first but they tend to be less well implemented than when Apple gets to them. If you are all-in on Google's ecosystem, Android is clearly more integrated and on iOS it's merely fine. If you have a bunch of Apple products, then there's a lot of great integrations across the ecosystem. If you are near an Apple Store, Apple's support for broken products (your fault or theirs!) is second to none. Lots of repairs can happen while you wait, or they just give you a new device.

(Not always! There are plenty of bugs and annoyances to be had on Apple devices.) iirc the iphone chip has been considerably better than pretty much anything on android for literally years. the main thing that's changed recently is that now it's not even remotely close fewer features and ways to customise is the main pitfall but honestly given the updates to ios over the last few years there's really not much i'm hankering for from the other side. it was a pisstake that it took them until 2014 to add a share option, but they did it and did it well. honestly, when i had an android phone i found myself wanting to customise the gently caress out of the interface and strip out bloat it, purely because of the frankly poo poo state that it shipped in. there's not that much to 'fix' in ios relative to android tbh. and the apple specific features they add more often than not actually loving work i'll tell you what sold me on the iphone: loving scrolling. the iphone is so embarassingly better than every android phone on the market (i am told the pixel comes close but i haven't tried one) at scrolling that it frankly boggles the mind. there are people in the android thread right now complaining that their phone with 4GB RAM that could run the apollo program a million times over cannot scroll without stuttering or lagging. when i had an android phone i literally overclocked the cpu in order to try and improve the responsiveness; didn't really help. i can go into more detail but at this point i view 'can scroll properly' as a pretty reasonable requirement. even loving windows phone managed it Generic Monk fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Nov 5, 2017 |

Endless Mike posted:Not really sure I'd agree with this. Have you seen a brand new install of iOS? Full iWork suite, Garage Band, etc. are all on there. They can be easily removed, but comparing it to a Pixel it's not really any better. (It's probably still better than Samsung that insists on putting the bad Samsung version of every Google app on their phones so you get TWO email clients and TWO browsers and TWO text messaging apps, etc.) pretty much any preinstalled bloatware on any android phone is part of the system image and cannot be removed in the course of normal use iirc. even before apple gave you the option to remove most of the preinstalled apps (which are mostly pretty good honestly, at least if they aren't utterly irrelevant to your needs (hello apple watch)), putting them all in a 'bullshit' folder was better than the option on android, where if you opened the app drawer they're all there in an alphabetical list

I got two of the Samsungs that the wirecutter suggested and they have a horrible pulsing blue light. Why the gently caress is everyone so hard for blue lights. Blue is the hardest fixing color of light to focus on and fucks up your night vision. Why the gently caress would they put a light like that on something that’ll be used in a bedroom. loving rear end in a top hat design.

Blue and green are the two acceptable colors of "successful interaction" light out there. Red is fine for cameras, as it's meant to be a warning, but not for anything else. Red-green is the most common type of color blindness, last I knew. This leaves blue.

bartkusa posted:What does the iPhone do better than Android? You need to determine whether what you do on your phone can be done on iOS. If it can all the arguments for/against above are perfectly valid. If you run into things you want / need to do and can't, there's largely no workarounds literally possible and apple fans will double down hard where ever you ask and call you an idiot for wanting to do it at all. If you just want a phone that's well supported get a pixel, as Google are tilting hard to matching or exceeding apples support. They've been giving pixels for free to 6P bootloopers, so are you sure you've exhausted the support avenues?

Didn't see these responded to but you can change it per app. Settings>Notifications>[App Name] and down at the bottom is an Options section where you can change "Show Previews" to one of "Always", "When Unlocked" (default), or "Never".
