I have a number that's a business landline number that's forwarded to my 6 but sometimes when I get incoming calls it rings once or twice on my end and then says I have a missed call, but then about 20-30 seconds later the phone rings again and I'm able to answer the call. I asked someone if they hung up and called again or the call dropped and they said that it just took a while to ring through (until I was able to answer). Any idea what is going on with this?

That sounds like an issue with whatever service is forwarding the number, not the phone itself.

Similar to the above, but does a number have to be in your contacts to block it? A telemarketer keeps calling me from the same number even though I've told them not to, and although the number is definitely blocked the calls are still coming through. (When I go to my call history it says "Unblock This Caller" as if it's already blocked.)

If there is a way to do it without that I'd like to know.

Be aware you will need to restore your iOS in order for any unlock to take effect. p sure you can also remove your sim and put it back in and plug into iTunes and you'll get the "Congrats you're iPhone is unlocked" message.

I don't know about doing it completely without adding them to contacts, but you don't need to create separate contacts for each. I have one contact I named "Zzz Blocked" (Zzz is so it goes to the bottom of the list), and whenever I want to block a number I just add it as an additional number for "Zzz Blocked".

I had success doing that years ago using alternate provider SIMs to trigger the unlock but it didn't work on a 5/5S for me.

I started using the alarm a while back after my alarm clock broke and I hate it. Is there some way to let it override the silencing switch? Sometimes I'll just switch it to silent when I can't answer a call and forget about it which renders the alarm useless unless I remember to flip the switch back. On top of that I think the auto switching from AM to PM while scrolling through numbers is dumb as hell. Nothing about the app seems to be designed for people who are about to go to sleep. I am so overly cautious about it I check to make sure the sound is on a few times every night while I'm dozing off. Missed a couple of important things because of that stupid shot when I first started using it and it still stresses me out.

While I have my gripes about the Alarm functionality/features as well, I've taken to using the 'Do Not Disturb' feature in conjunction with the alarm and not setting the phone to silent mode, which is what I leave mine in for the bulk of the day. It's been working out pretty well so far.

I don't think I've ever had a problem with the alarm clock not overriding the silent switch as I always leave my phone on silent. Is this a new thing with the iPhone 6, because I'm still on an iPhone 5.

Whenever I try to sign into iMessage or Facetime with my Apple ID it says the username or password is incorrect even though I'm sure it's correct and I'm already signed into the App store. I'm in Australia and recently came back from Europe (where I used a UK sim card) which I suspect has something to do with it. I have my Australian SIM card back in the phone now. I'm using an iPhone 4 on 7.1.2, not jailbroken. Any ideas on this? EDIT: Fixed, I needed to generate an app-specific password for iMessage and FaceTime. bigis fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Jun 11, 2015 |

SLOSifl posted:Chip and signature is the one we're implementing first. Card goes in the slot, not swiped*. Then you sign. I'm not sure how that helps, but we're phasing out MSR for payments and all liability shifts to the business owner if they choose not to implement secured payment methods. Chip+signature is supposed to help because the card number is no longer sent "in the clear" between the reader, the cash register, and wherever else before it goes into the payment network. It's encrypted from the moment it leaves the chip on the card. This is intended to stop the way that the majority of data breach attacks have taken place, where a RAM scraper was installed on cash registers or other points in that process and just sent card numbers to Russia as it saw them in the POS software's working memory. No PIN means it's not going to help you if your card's stolen, but you as a consumer pretty much have no liability there anyway other than the pain in the rear end to deal with it. It's intended to put up a barrier against the next Target attack. kitten smoothie fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Jun 10, 2015 |

No. Encryption and EMV are two different things - EMV is not encrypted, and you can still pull a card number off of an EMV transaction. The reason EMV helps with counterfeit card fraud is because the chip generates a dynamic card verification value that, if stolen, cannot be used again. Think of it like an RSA "token."

Pissingintowind posted:No. There are many payment providers and whether or not the POS system actually receives the track data directly and then packages it for the processor, or it all happens in a black box, is pretty all over the place. For example, a lot of keyboard or monitor mounted MSRs are just keyboard-wedge systems. The swiped card literally translates into a string of text as if someone had typed it. Some customer terminals communicate directly with a separate server (often local), so the POS system just says "try to charge this amount" and gets back a result. PA-DSS certification requires encryption for the communications aspect at least.

Don't know how often you leave home or if you want your phone off silent the entire time you're at home but you can use geofencing with reminders if you want it not to be silent at home, or to remind you to turn off silent mode at least. Just set remind me at a location in reminders app and you'll have a notification and little vibration to remind you when you get home.

SLOSifl posted:Yeah. I meant that with Chip and PIN, the PIN is stored on the card and you have to know the PIN to use it - whereas the signature does not exist on the chip so it doesn't serve the same purpose since it's not required to 'unlock' the card. The PIN is verified "online" by the issuer as part of the authorization, not offline locally by the chip itself. Most cards outside of those issued in Europe do not even support offline PIN. Even Europe is moving away from offline PIN because it is less secure (dynamic card verification value can't be verified online if the transaction is offline). But your point about PIN preventing lost/stolen F2F fraud absolutely still stands  It sounds like you also work in the industry - shoot me a PM if you want to chat sometime

I've been using my phone as my alarm for a total of 4-5 years--my phone is on silent 99% of the time. The only time I've ever had a problem is if I've somehow turned the ringer volume down (which you can still do if the phone is on silent.)

My next worry is that my friend that works in computer security has zero faith in EMV systems because I guess cards can still be cloned reasonably easily despite the chip? His big worry is that now "card present" transactions will be harder to dispute because front line support agents are just going to be "nah that's not possible."

That might be true, but that doesn't mean implementing it is a bad idea. Mag stripe cards are hilariously broken and we should have moved on to something that actually implements modern security theory 10 years ago. Businesses have to stay agile with this stuff or they're going to continue hemorrhaging money after break-ins.

Is there any way to completely disable visual voicemail on the iphone? Every time I swap from my iphone to my android phone, voicemail notifications break. According to Verizon, visual voicemail on the iphone is some special snowflake that doesn't follow visual voicemail on any of the other platforms, and the only thing they can do about it is reset my voicemail settings. Each time my sim card is in the iphone, Apple's visual voicemail is re-enabled and I can't stop it.

My iPad broke last week and I decided to upgrade my current sim only in my 5 to a 64gb 6+ as an in between option. I'm floored by how beautiful the screen is. Going back to my 5 to check some app settings and it feels like a kids toy in my hand.

Maybe take your Moto X into a Verizon store and get a new sim card and don't touch the voicemail configuration.

Eventually, though, I learned it was easier to just: Jose Oquendo posted:Stop swapping phones like a sperglord.
