I have to say I'm pretty surprised at how few leaks or stupid rumours about iOS 9 have been floating about. Pretty much all I've heard so far is that it'll be mostly about bug fixing and tidying up code for speed improvements, and that Spotlight is getting replaced with an equivalent of Google Now.

japtor posted:I got a Tech Armor one just cause it was cheap and they have free lifetime replacement. Not as fancy as that BodyGuardz one but eh it works. Tech Armor is easy to put on, and the ballistic glass feels a lot better than the flimsy platicky ones. Its not very durable though. I've been through 3 of them in the last 7 months. At least Tech Armor keeps sending me free replacements.

When I had an Android phone I thought google now was kind of obnoxious, especially since it tended to serve me "recommended articles" about stuff I had googled maybe once out of curiosity rather than about things I was actually interested in.

I never really tried using Google Now through the iPhone app, but for someone who doesn't drive and doesn't live in a country with Google Maps transit support, what does it really do that's more useful than just glancing at your calendar in the morning?

Don't bother using Now if you're not on Android. Many of it's best features require deeper integration with the OS than iOS provides.

Any wallet case is going to add some bulk, but it's pretty minimal and most of it is attributable to the cards I have in it.

My Arcadia screen protector for my 6+ feels good and doesn't suffer from the chipping that the Tech Armor ones seem to suffer from. It's pretty cool how glass screen protectors in general seem to practically install themselves. You just have to align it properly and let it do the rest.

Before I settled on the leather case, I was very close to buying this one e: Their Fletch case is pretty cool too. If you get either, let me know how they are.

My favorite Google Now features had to be: 1) Listing my home weather from some Korean named home weather station. 2) Assuming that because I was going to the mall every other week, that it was my place of employment. No option provided to declare that I am a pasty NEET bastard. (Same story with Facebook, though. Site would not loving quit asking me who my employer was until I gave them an answer. I used to go with NoWork, INC, but then some fucker in Los Angeles registered a page with that name and Facebook helpfully linked it to my profile. I have since changed my employer to None and deleted the employer page, but they still helpfully provide me with a permanent coworkers Facebook category, which I only recently renamed from "NOWORK INC" to something else. Can't delete the hard coded categories, though.) 3) Offering to pop up directions to Costco on random days it guessed I was going back there, under the assumption that I would not be able to make it back on my own accord like I did the first N times. Not like I used the navigation feature the last N times, either.

How often do you travel? I can't live without Google now, inbox and calendar. Together they figure out my trips including itineraries and reservations and let me know when to head to the airport to get there on time. It feels like magic.

Google Now saved my rear end yesterday when it reminded I needed to leave then if I wanted to make it to a meeting I had forgotten about that was an hour away. Google Now is incredible because of that.

Tacking on to this to ask if anyone knows of a passable wallet replacement/stand for an iphone plus. I'm about to order this because it seems like the only thing that does all 3 with a clear ID slot, but drat, it just looks so dorky. https://www.twelvesouth.com/product/bookbook-for-iphone-6

I think the bookBook looks nice and I'd probably buy one if I could use it one handed. As far as slim and stylish goes, there's the Vault http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Wallet-Case-Protective-Midnight/dp/B00N3K42BM But I don't think there's one with a clear ID slot yet. I mean, if you wanted to be adventurous, you could email a bunch of no-name Amazon manufactuers and sellers to see if they could make a slim case that holds 3 cards and some cash, but have the slot be transparent so when you 1st card (your ID) goes in, it can be seen.

Is there any way to get an m4r ringtone onto an iPhone without using iTunes? I have a friend who wants me to make a ringtone for her but doesn't own a computer (!!!) to sync with via iTunes.

You have to plug in to a computer and transfer via iTunes (or some sketch third party app), or be jailbroken. Is she able to use someone else's computer?

Last time of tried one of those apps it exports an m4a for you to put into iTunes. I've just told her she needs to get access to a computer with iTunes she can use. Come to think of it, I wonder if Apple Stores would let you do small phone admin jobs like that since they pushed the whole "post-PC future" thing before.

If she only wants to get one ringtone on there, one time, it's probably OK. But, let's say she gets the song/sound she wants, gets it converted, loads it onto a computer with iTunes somewhere, syncs the iPhone to that, but then later wants to add another ringtone? If she did it from an Apple store, there's just about no way she's going to be able to sync with the exact same computer again. In the iPod salad days, syncing an iPod with a different computer than the last sync would first wipe all the songs from the iPod. Does iTunes still work that way with iPhone ringtones?

Okay, so I'm starting to get really pissed off now. My iPhone 5c isn't charging. I thought it was a software issue at first so I restored my phone. That didn't work so I then changed the charging hardware it's self and it's still not working. It keeps saying "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work with this iPhone". I really am at my wits end. I am using a brand new Apple cable and my Apple socket but it's still not working... Does anyone know what I can do as I've been without a phone for 6 days now.

If there are no other solutions to the problem I will as a last resort. That's the support model. If your phone has a physical issue the only effective way to get it fixed is have Apple look at it. All you can do without voiding the warranty (and once that warranty is void you're hosed, Apple will never touch it again) is swap the wall outlet, the lightning cable, or clean out the lightning port with a toothpick.

My warranty is already void, hence me changing the port myself. I just don't understand what the problem could be, I've essentially done everything I can bar changing the battery however I don't think that'd going to make a difference unless I am mistaken.

It could be a failed component somewhere else in the power circuitry. Without being some kind of electronics expert I'm not sure what else there is to try, unless you can buy more replacement components and just keep at it until it works. Even without a warranty Apple will replace it, they just charge more for it. But if you already opened it that option is gone.

Lol what kind of bait-and-switch post is this? You're pulling your hair out over something you yourself did to the phone? You had to have known people would just say "Take it to fruit stand" if you left out the details of your tinkering initially, which you did.
