My screen already had some ultra fine scratches but I finally got it replaced for dust so I wanted to protect it. Guess I'll just suck it up though, not worth dropping another $30 just to gently caress up another protector.

RhoA posted:I use the hot shower trick. Run a hot shower without the fan on to get steam built up, turn the shower off, wait about 10 minutes for the mist to bring down the dust with it, and then give it a go. I've done this with every screen protector I've installed and it's worked perfectly. Also try buying a really cheap thick case from Best Buy or something so you can apply it perfectly using the lip on the case as a way to guide how perfect the protector will go on. Then you can just return the case. Or borrow a friend's case. I mean, it really doesn't matter how you go about getting the case.

The glass protector I got actually came with a guide which I intend to keep. It went on pretty drat straight, just didn't matter how much I used tape to remove dust. I'll just buy a shitload of cheap $0.50 ones and practice.

TheBoyBlunder posted:I'm still rocking an iphone 4s on tmobile and it's getting a bit long in the tooth. I'm a bit disappointed to see tmobile has been buying up LTE band 12 spectrum and the iphone 6 does not support it. As a result, I have two questions: The reason the iPhone 6 doesn't support Band 12 is because they only started using it in the second half of 2014, so most phones released before or around then had no need to support it. A lot of major flagships released since last fall, including Nexus 6 and Galaxy S6 support it since they had time to add it, and there's no reason to assume that phones going forward including the next iPhone wouldn't support it.

Just to make sure I'm not missing something: if I'm participating in a couple of shared photostreams, I have to keep them in local storage, right? I'm at a point with my 32GB unit where I'm basically forced to choose between pics or music. I'd like to clear pics off my phone and still be able to view the associated streams on Apple TV or my wife's phone (that's the whole idea behind cloud storage right?), but I'm under the impression that I'd be yanking my pics off the shared stream too by doing that.

I'm relatively sure it just keeps thumbnails on your device for the most part, and only downloads photos when you go to view them but I could be not understanding properly. I'm on a 16gb device and probably have ~1500 photos across multiple shared albums and my photos library is only about ~500mb.

Nope, shared photo streams seem to r separate and don't need a local copy. There's actually nothing anywhere to tell you this so it's very confusing.

Hey all, I have an old iPhone4 I want to give to my 7 year old to use as an iPod and such and would love for him to have a data connection and am considering adding him to our group plan since it's so cheap to do so. Can you disable the phone portion of the iPhone either through traditional means or jailbreaking? We want to lock the phone down as much as possible and don't see the need for our 7 year old to have a cell phone at this age but being able to stream music and videos would be great in our opinion. Appreciate any insight offered.

Just connect his phone to your hotspot and he always has data.

Aren't there SIM cards provisioned specifically for data for tablets? Might that work? Or would it detect the IMEI when it connects and recognize it as a phone?

I'd benefit greatly from having another 2.5gb and if he streams YouTube and burns through it on his own it only punishes him when he is throttled or I'd definitely do that.

Generally carriers will punt you off once they detect the tablet Sim in a phone.

I'm more surprises that you're worried about giving your 7 year old access to a phone but have no qualms about letting him have unlimited access to the internet. What problems do you think hes going to get into with phone access? Edit: I guess there is this. Basically use call forwarding to shut down incoming calls and then hide the phone icon in a useless folder like someone else suggested. http://osxdaily.com/2013/05/08/turn-off-phone-calls-keep-data-iphone/ Keystoned fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Apr 20, 2015 |

I'd be putting the parental controls to full use so that he can't get into trouble with the open internet. Safari would be blocked and he'd be only able to use the apps we decide are safe and fine. Really not that big of an issue. I'll check out that link, thanks! I recall there being some weirdness with MVNOs and the ability to use the call forwarding codes but that could be the ticket if Cricket supports it.

Kind of getting around the original question, since the sim is out now. I want to add cell service so that the phone can get mobile data when away from WiFi but disable the phone. I think the call forwarding option is the best option.

Disable calling directly with your carrier. Most will let you disable incoming, outgoing, incoming & outgoing, long distance, etc.

I have no idea what happened but my iPhone 6 is running at like twice the speed. Apps are opening quicker and games are running faster. As an example, playing Candy Crush in one of those timed rounds of 40 seconds will make the game run 20 seconds. Have no idea what just happened. Restarted phone but same thing. On IOS 8.3 and never been jailbroken

Just got a new head unit with CarPlay capability and it's pretty great. Siri is really good at figuring out what I'm saying quickly, the maps integration is awesome, and sending and receiving texts is a breeze. I can't wait for other apps to come out for it.

Contact your service provider. AT&T its called or was called Smart Limits

Has anyone had issues with screen burn-in on an iPhone 6? My phone has all sorts of burn in and I'm wondering if this is something that's covered under warranty or will it eat up one of my AppleCare+ replacements.
