Probably not, since your iPad line will show up as a tablet line, not a phone line (despite having a number assigned to it), unless you're paying a full phone line cost for a tablet, which seems silly.

I posted a while back about issues I've had with the headphone volume randomly reducing itself, where even if volume was turned up all the way, you could barely hear it. The consensus was that reboots were the best way to fix the issue when it happened. I have now found that the Facebook app is the culprit. The volume reduction can happen at any time, either when the app was launched, when scrolling the newsfeed, or if the app is in the background. Swiping up to close the Facebook app is fixing the problem for me. Relaunching the app after closing it does not seem to cause the issue again.

I'll try to sum this up succinctly, but it's the most insane issue ever and I can't figure it out. It's a long shot but here goes: iPhone 6, Bluetooth audio produced crackles at all volumes. Nothing I did (and I did a lot) fixed it, so Apple replaced it with a new one. Loaded from an iCloud backup, and the crackles are back. I get frustrated and do a full restore, and set it up as a new phone. Crackles are gone. What the gently caress? Issue with my backup? Whatever. Cut to a few days later, slowly adding back my apps and whatnot, and the crackles come back. Reboot doesn't fix it, network reset doesn't fix it, etc etc etc. Is it possible for an app being installed to cause an issue like this? I suppose I could restore it again and test the Bluetooth after changing anything on my phone, but that seems insane. I'm not expecting much help, but I'm just completely baffled at this point. And I tried all the obvious and not-so-obvious things (resets, different Bluetooth devices, turning off wi-fi, testing with other people's iDevices).

I thought there were people with the original $30 unlimited iPad packages who were able to somehow use an upgrade from that iPad line to use on their phone purchase, but I don't know the mechanics of how it worked.

It's possible I've never noticed this before, but on my iPhone 6, when I press the sleep button, the screen goes to black for a second, pausing before the backlight goes off. From what I recall, it used to always be one motion. This might be easier to notice if you're in a dark room and the brightness is set all the way down.

Seriously, it's the oddest thing.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Will a Verizon phone work on ATT? Or are there LTE band restrictions that will get me? Specific Answer: All Verizon LTE phones are unlocked. For iPhones specifically: the iPhone 5S (and 5C) and newer has all the same bands in it, so it would work fine with ATT. The Verizon iPhone 5 does not have all the correct bands, so it would work on ATT, but no LTE. Since there is no reason to be buying a 5 now a days, you should be fine.

I'm trying to help my mother with syncing photos from her iPhone to iCloud. I don't use any of iCloud's photo services so I'm a bit unclear on one aspect. If she has either iCloud Photo Library or Photo Stream turned on, is it redundant to have "Photo Library" turned on in Settings > iCloud > Storage > Manage Storage > Device? Or is that automatically turned on when you select one of iCloud's photo services? When I turned on Photo Stream on my iPhone just to test, the Photo Library setting in Manage Storage was not activated, so I'm not sure if she needs that on as well. I'm not about to turn on iCloud Photo Library as that will remove my synced photos. Is that confusing or clear?

Duckman2008 posted:Specific Answer: Thank you. One follow-up question: I am the one currently on ATT. My work has 3G repeaters inside the building, so I don't get LTE when I'm here. If I get a Verizon phone, will it also be able to use ATT's 3G bands? And just to clear up the why-the-hell-are-you-buying-a-Verizon-phone question, my girlfriend is on Verizon. She has a piece of poo poo 4S with a dying battery and needs a new one badly. I'd buy a 6S using her Verizon account, then give her my 6 and do the SIM swapping. I am on ATT unlimited data, so I still have to wait 2 years to upgrade my line. So I guess my ATT 6 would have to work on Verizon, and the Verizon 6S would have to work on ATT.

Honestly, I would skip that and just get her on Google Photos (or Dropbox if she just wants them on her computer easily). It's free, super straightforward, and she can download and share her albums and individual photos very easily, unlike with iCloud. I don't think there's any reason to leave Photo Stream off, unless you're so short on space that having 1000 photos on your phone all the time is prohibitive. Photo Stream is a different service from Photo Library. Photo Library uses iCloud storage (that 5gb you get for docs, backups, and everything else for free). Photo Stream is just a syncing option for your iCloud connected devices, it doesn't use your iCloud storage. With Photo Stream, you can take a picture on your phone and it'll show up in the photos app on your iPad, and technically on your Mac but I've never gotten that album to work in Photos. It's also not a storage or backup option because it only stores 1000 photos, after which point the 1001st oldest photo is deleted from the stream.

Well what sparked this whole thing is I just bought her an iPad and she wants the photos she takes on each device to show up on the other, and she currently uses Photo Stream, but no photos she takes will show up on the other device (same iCloud account and settings match on both devices), not to mention her historical photos. From what I have read she will need to switch to iCloud Photo Library. I'm still unclear on the Manage Storage setting deal..

Or OneDrive I guess? She's not going to be able to troubleshoot the opaque Apple hiccups herself, right? She'll just have to go into another app instead of the photos app, and a webapp on her computer. But it'll work!

If she actually wants them stored somewhere she should use iCloud Photo Library or make sure she's backing them up somewhere.

I recently updated to Win10 and was commenting how gloriously painless OneDrive is compared to iCloud. Clips saved on my xbone pretty much instantly show up as available on my PC. If I want to let a friend download something I just go to the onedrive website, click the share button, and send them the permalink. I haven't yet been hassled about using too much space or poo poo not syncing or password changes causing all my devices to have a conniption. I sure like the concept of iCloud but Apple's implementation is laughable.

Minidust posted:What's this about 30 days? I've got a full 1,000 pics in my iPhone photostream, and they date back to April of this year. Your devices will still cache those last 1000 photos, but on the server they're gone after 30 days. If you were to say disable photo stream and re-enable it stuff >30 days is gone. Basically the way to think about photo stream is it's an easier way to get photos from your phone to your Mac/PC without using a wire, where you have hopefully copied them somewhere else before they expire. iPhoto for example had an auto-import from photo stream option. AFAICT for it to work as intended you basically had to have the right combination of checkboxes on different devices. iCloud photo library is at least more straightforward - it's one library and they're either in the cloud or they're not, and it all takes up storage space ($ >5 GB)

Will there be any real way to play h.265 video on a 6S? Every google result I see for HEVC iphone app looks like a Belorussian scam, and I thought that phones depended on a hardware decoder for that anyway. The only thing really pushing me to get a 64 over a 16 is that I have a couple dozen hours of video I would like to have available on my phone at any time, and if h.265 playback will be possible on it then it may not be worth the extra $100.

*Technically* the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus have h.265 support already, but only for Facetime. I imagine it's an OS-level implementation at that point, but I haven't heard anything about iOS 9 supporting it beyond what's already there.
