It joins them even if that’s selected. It just doesn’t notify me.

Is it possible this is Japan specific stuff? I heard that both the hardware and iOS are slightly different in Japan due to local regulations and stuff.

Samurai Sanders posted:You mean....every single public WiFi network I ever walk or take the train through? I just got home from a trip to the store and I was watching it connect to wifi networks left and right. if it's connected to them before then it'll auto-connect to them again until auto-join is turned off or they're "forgotten". unfortunately, you can only turn off auto-join or "forget" the networks if they're actually in range and appear in the list of networks so that sucks. i guess resetting network settings would also work but that clears everything. if you turn off wifi from settings (instead of control center) it shouldn't reenable itself the next day at least.

Only if you turn it off in the command centre. If you go to settings it should stay off.

I didn’t know the switch in the options menu was different than the one you get when you swipe up. These were all things that I couldn’t figure out how to google at all. It seems like no matter what keywords I chose, it would come up with 1 million pages about what to do if your phone DOESN’T connect to public WiFi, so I was getting really frustrated.

Samurai Sanders posted:Jeez. So I need to do that really fast over and over again while I whiz past each WiFi area on the train? sorry, i keep ninja editing crap in; Reset Network Settings should nuke all known wifi connection details (along with any other custom network config you've setup, so beware) and let you toggle off the global auto/ask-to-join stuff before you head out again. it's a heavy-handed approach, but it might work for you. also, the wifi toggle in the control center only temporarily disabling wifi was a real dumb change apple did a while ago and it confused the hell out of a lot of people.

I turned off my Wi-Fi in the options menu and about a minute later it immediately told me that I should turn it back on to improve location accuracy. Is it going to ask me that periodically forever? Edit: is Apple responding to some series of complaints from people who turned their Wi-Fi off and then forgot about it, burned through their whole data plan by accident and then blamed Apple, or something like that?

Nope. Most of us don't have every wifi in the country in our connection history. I only have five networks in my list and those are the only ones my phone automatically connects to.

In the states most people have unlimited data but we still use Wi-Fi. Get the apple support app to search their knowledgebase or read the iPhone user guide since you aren't great at googling. It will answer all of your questions dude. Android allows you to toggle off WiFi from the drop down completely but iOS does make you go into settings

i'd be shocked if most people in the us had "unlimited" mobile data, even among iphone users. but yes, the design decisions make sense when you consider that they are intended to ensure that people are connected via the "best" channel as seamlessly as possible. of course the world doesn't always operate the way apple thinks it should. this is obviously a fault in the world.

I do think it’s not uncommon to turn off the WiFi for some random reason (like the ISP is down) and then forget to turn it back on and burn through your data accidentally.

If I were to put a loaded shotgun in my mouth and pull the trigger whenever there's a free Wifi hotspot, I'd probably live to the ripe age of 120. Even the loving McDonald's here only gives you an key, that lasts an hour, if you order something. Also, I'm sure glad Wallonia delayed 5G deployment indefinitely because of some radiation woo-woo.

Don’t some carriers set your phone up to auto-join their public WiFi hotspots? I seem to remember back when I was on AT&T that the “attwifi” hotspots were set to auto-join without me having done anything. Maybe it’s something like that?

Last time I checked attwifi was still a special hotspot but you could go into the settings and it had a special toggle to tell it not to connect to it.

This is a WhatsApp question, but it involves iPhones, and I'm in a weird and suboptimal spot and I want to know if there's theoretically an optimal outcome or if I'm just gonna have to lose a week's history somewhere. The situation: 1) iPhone 11 had my complete chat history on it. It has never used WhatsApp's iCloud backup. 2) I got an iPhone 12 mini. It rules! I set it up using phone to phone. Now the 12 has my complete history and is my current WhatsApp phone. The 11 is no longer current but still has its data. Neither phone uses WA iCloud. 3) It is a week later. Irritatingly my 12 mini has (???????????) which caused moisture(?) to get under the camera lens somehow. It must go in for repair. I do a full backup of my 12 mini to my Mac and wipe it. Possibly this was the point where I should have done a WA backup, but I didn't. 4) Now I'm back on my 11 and everything's as it was. It's now current again but that week (week 1) is missing. I'm about to be without my 12 for presumably another week (week 2), depending on how fast Apple turn around whatever it is they're doing. 5) I am currently doing a WA backup from my 11. It is stuck at 8%. This is infuriating (I am signed properly in to iCloud. I have enough space in my iCloud. I am connected to power and WiFi. I've used various blunt hacks to cancel and retry the backup and it always gets stuck at the exact same point every time. Ideas?). 6) Eventually my 12 (or a new one) will come back and I will swap back to it. If I do a phone to phone, I will lose week 1 forever. If I restore from my backup, I will lose week 2 forever. I am not a huge baby and will survive losing one of these weeks, but I would like, somehow, to consolidate the two WA states. Is it possible? Even if it's a *slight* pain?

smackfu posted:How are people feeling about the MagSafe puck after a week or two? Any meaningful difference from Lightning cable or a Qi charger? The issues I have are with the raised rubber ring around the sweet spot, the friction of it makes it harder for the magnets to slide the phone into place. Like if you’re close enough it’ll work, but it’s definitely a struggle against the friction. The other problem is the size of the puck vs the camera bump, it makes it a little harder to tell where the center is cause the edge is overlapping with the bump (might not be an issue on the regular/Max 12s though). The magnets are enough to give you a feel for where the sweet spot is, but those two little details make it a little more annoying to get into place. Got a bumper case coming in soon which will probably change the dynamics a bit cause the ring and the camera bump shouldn’t matter at that point.

E: On closer inspection, I cannot restore the 12 onto the 11 because the 12 was running 14.2.1 and the 11 is running 14.2, and for reasons known only to Apple that update doesn't seem to be available to non 12 iPhones.

Three weeks with my SE and I can say l love downgrading from my 6s+ sent back my 12 pro What a great cheap phone. Now I want to be on the official SE train. If they release an X size SE I’ll buy it happily in 3 years (my guess is it will be iphone 12 size, but still.) For 99% of what I think people use phones for, this device for $450 is just such a good value.

astral posted:That sucks even more. DFU mode time? Looks like that about pulled it back. No idea what happened. So yeah I'm stuck with the 11 I have until Apple deign to release 14.2.1 for non-12 iPhones. It looks like my simplest case will be, if that happens promptly, to restore that to the 11 if the update ever comes out, otherwise I'll be picking whichever week's messages I value less, unless there really is a good way to consolidate WA backups, which I'm given to understand there isn't unless I'm missing something.

Has anyone gone from the SE 2020 to the 12 mini? How do you like it? I think there's a good chance I finally switch from google fi after I learned they throttle you to 0.2 mbps if you hit the cap and I might as well take advantage of a black friday offer if I do it.

I went from an iPhone 11 to a 12 mini and love it. Every day, the smaller size and weight offer me some convenience that went out the window when phones stopped fitting in the palm of your hand. I don't need a screen any bigger than this on my phone, but that's subjective. Battery life has stabilized on the lesser side of normal after the first week or so.

Hey all, so in a wild turn of events, my grandfather is taking my old 11 Pro Max. He has, notoriously, been bad with breaking phones. I'm looking to buy him the best Otterbox and then, I guess, just power out with the best glass screen protector I can get. What are my options here? Planning on just making a trip to BestBuy since I'm going to see them tomorrow, but if it's something I have to order, I can just put it off for a few days. I was also thinking of one of the Otterboxes with a PopClip, but I don't know if it'd be good for him. His hands are monstrous. Like, they make apples look like pop rocks. Would the PopClip be useless for him?

These are my exact thoughts as well. I was worried about the battery as I have been working from home and use my phone as a phone a lot. I have had no issues. No need to top off as of yet. Usually end the day around 20%, and with “heavy” use. Form factor is amazing. I will never go back to a bigger phone. This thing is perfect.

Based on the longevity of a typical pop socket, I would be concerned with breakage. A new pop socket is pretty cheap, but those style cases are pretty expensive to replace a few times a year...

Just ordered an iPhone 12 mini to replace my iPhone 7. Was wondering is there a way to backup my settings without having my photos on iCloud? I use a different service for that but the description for iCloud backup says photo library but when you turn it on it only has an option to back up now. I just want all my apps and settings so I don’t have to mess with that when I get the new phone. What’s the best way to do this?
