I noticed it not playing the lock sound when I locked it, so I though maybe I hit the mute switch but it wasn't flipped. Couldn't figure out out to fix it so yeah, had to reboot to get it to go back to normal.

The volume thing happens to me all the time. I fix it by opening up a maps app and then going back to the home screen, usually works with Google Maps. If it doesn't, try Apple maps, and then finally try Snapchat. For some reason those apps will take over the volume and lower it, like whenever they are giving a navigation direction, even if you have it turned off. It's dumb.

As a runner this happens to me when my running app chimes in with the time or distance. Afterwards the volume of the music just sounds muted. Sometimes when I get a text the chime makes the music go loud again (it can be a shock to your ears if you have it up loud to compensate for the muted sound). Also I use to have that same problem back when I had a jailbroken 4s. Once I got rid of jailbreak, the problem went away until recently (this was over 3 years ago). nate fisher fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Apr 29, 2015 |

I got xfinity last year and they didn't force me into using any of their networking gear. I know the rollout has different phases around the country so it could be a regional thing, but on the other hand sometimes the tech is merely an impatient idiot who will say anything so they can complete the call more quickly. I use a bog standard comcast provided cable modem with an ethernet jack, plug my own router into it and everything works exactly like I want. Just be aware they're handing out ipv6 addresses now and they don't filter it at all. Most routers have separate ipv4 and ipv6 firewalls and some of them ship with the ipv6 disabled so you actually have to turn it on yourself.

I recently got my wife updated to iOS 8.3 on her iPhone 5C, but she now can't do dictation with quick replies from the lock screen. I seem to be able to do that on my 5S on 8.3 though. I looked around in settings but couldn't figure out why, and a semi-quick Google search didn't yield many pertinent answers. Anybody know what's going on?

Yes it is the X1 thing. I came back to Comcast, because they had some 2 years deal of X1 with DVR & HBO + 100 MBS internet for $99 a month. While the price is not bad at all, their customer service lives up to their reputation. The X1 software is buggy as hell. It is so buggy that I use the X1 IOS app (which works great) instead of the remote. & Yes I did research after they told me that the X1 requires their modem/router (it is almost killed the deal for me), and from everything I read online it seemed they wasn't lying. If there is someone using the X1 without their router/modem please tell me. MrBond posted:Yeah his thing sounds like X1. I use a tivo and my own modem and comcast works swimmingly with it. This how I rolled until I left Comcast last time. TIVO + cable cards was awesome. Sorry for derail. I love Apple routers.

Can someone help me figure out a situation? I don't know anything about CDMA and unlocking and all that so this is way over my head. I want to use my madre's 2 year upgrade to get myself a 6 plus, then give her my iPhone 6 and pay her the difference. The trouble is that I have an AT&T 6 and she's on Verizon so her 6 plus would be a Verizon one. Is there any way she can get a V 6 plus, give that to me for use on the AT&T network, and then use my ATT 6 on the Verizon network? The guy at the apple store said it's impossible but there's a few threads out the on the Internet that say it is possible. It's just tough for me to understand all the terms about networks and whatnot. Thanks

A Verizon 6+ will work on AT&T no problem. *Supposedly* some MacRumors people were getting unlocked iPhones 6 working on Verizon, which *technically* should work at least on LTE, but if yours is locked, it definitely will not.

Like I said, there's people reporting unlocked ones working on Verizon. It wouldn't take but a few minutes to swap her SIM card into your phone and seeing what happens before making any decisions to go through with this.

IIRC the unlocked ones worked for voice and data, but they had issues with visual voicemail since the IMEI wasn't listed in Verizon's db as an iPhone.

I looked around a bit but couldn't really find what I needed. I need to mirror my iPhone 6 to a PC to do a demonstration of some things. Where I'll be, I can't guarantee I'll be on wifi so all the solutions that rely on being on the same network are out. What else could I possibly do? Is there a way to do it with a lightning cable or something?

AirServer might work if you tether the computer to the phone via USB. It did for me but that was on OS X (before QuickTime added the feature)

I'm having a really annoying issue in Messages. Every time I start a new conversation with someone, the keyboard defaults to the standard iOS keyboard instead of Swiftkey. Once I change it to Swiftkey, it always comes up again for that conversation. Is there any way to make it default to Swiftkey 100% of the time for any new messages?

Can I take a Verizon iPhone 6+ and use it on the AT&T network, and then give my AT&T iphone 6 to someone to use on the Verizon network? This is in the US.

If you're trying to free up space by removing photos then you could try iCloud Photo Library. several people posted:Messages keyboard Remembering which keyboard you last used for each conversation is a feature for anyone who writes messages in more than one language. I guess it can be confusing now that third-party keyboards exist.

I'm not sure but you might need to have Photo Stream turned on in both. Then you can just delete photos from your phone at will. This won't work with iCloud Photo Library. You'll be stuck with lo res copies of your photos on your iPhone and if you delete them, it gets rid of them everywhere. It's bizarre.

I should have been more specific, but if you use iCloud Photo Library then you don't delete photos. You just set it to “Optimise Storage” and it will automatically delete the full resolution version and only leave a lower resolution thumbnail. Or you wait until it syncs and then turn off iCloud Photo Library, which will remove all synced photos from the phone. Depends exactly what you're trying to do.

I would like to have an iCloud backup the same way as a backup on PC. So if delete a photo on my phone, it will be gone as well on the next backup. It would just a peace of mind for me to have another backup somewhere. I had an accident not too long ago. Forgot that sync is not the same as backup. Restored my phone on a new laptop. Instead of hitting backup, I hit sync. Just glad I was able to restore a backup from my old laptop before I gave it away.
