I'm guessing it was addressed in this thread and I missed it, but 11.0.2 is complete dog poo poo. My phone works maybe 50% of time. I tried to take a picture today and gave up because the video was always black. Apps crashing and things locking constantly.

I had some trust (maybe incorrectly) in Apple QC. That is completely out the window.

I did a complete backup and restore now, it didn't help at all and maybe made it worse.

I haven't had any issues since the initial ios11 release - the worst that happened was an app closing when I got a text and that hasn't happened more than once. Have any of you gotten serious problems like this? I might have just missed them too but I haven't heard any big gripes like those and mainly see stuff like battery life and UI complaints.

Try backing up, DFU/recovery mode, and then set up as new and see if things work. It sounds like the update got messed up.

What is a "smart quote" exactly? I saw two quotes at the beginning of the number, like this - ""#########" - so I deleted the first quote but it just shows the extra quote again when previewing the message.

It's a setting in iOS 1'1's keyboard that alters your punctuation depending on its usage, similar to the way Microsoft Word does. E.g. surrounding text in quotations uses the right-curving quote on the left and the left-curving quote on the right, instead of two vertical quotations, and converts two consecutive hyphens into one long hyphen.

YOU RESENT?
There was a big change in spotlight (now just called search) in iOS11:

I used to have every aspect of this turned off other than searching apps, so I hold use it as a spotlight style app launcher - launch search, type a couple of letters, hit the app.

In iOS11 they've changed things: there is no separate set of toggles to decide *what* to search (it used to be: contacts, apps, emails, safari history).

There's just a per app toggle.

Rather than just toggling searching data inside the app, if you turn these toggles off, it actually prevents the apps showing up in search at all (at least until you've typed the entire name correctly).

Is there any way around this?
I don't want Siri/search to search in inside the contents of any of my apps (or maybe one or two).

I do want them to show up in search results as soon as I type the first letters of the app name.

If you find one, let me know, but as far as I can tell the answer to your question is no.

Edit: you can still say “open app name” to siri, which is the weakest of workarounds because enabling type to siri disables talking to her (keyboard microphone not withstanding)

Aux cords are still cool because I can listen to my digital audio recorder on the way back from gigs. But since you can plug a lightning cable into the car (and Bluetooth or course) I haven't used an aux cord in a very long time even though my car is a 2000 Accord because the previous owner put a new stereo in it (which is what I assume everyone has done since the prices are so low?)

Now I'm using the stock head unit to play MP3 CDs. I actually just bought a 50-pack spindle of CD-Rs the other day. Ask me about the turn of the millennium, we're taking callers.

Dude how can you stand that, get yourself a head unit that has Bluetooth or iPod control. It’ll cost you like maybe $100. Heck, you can get CarPlay-compatible ones for like $400ish.

I was contemplating it, but I can't be hosed to install a headunit myself (in an apartment parking lot,) so that $100 Bluetooth headunit turns into like a $200+ headunit after bracket/harness/install fees. I figure I'll probably be trading this car in just a few years, so I can't convince myself to throw any money at it unless absolutely necessary.

I’d imagine with a civic it would be easy enough to get plug and play harnesses and installing the head unit would be a matter of unscrewing and then screwing a small amount of screws.

And if you plan on owning the car for years (I thought you were going to say months) then it makes even more sense. I was playing around with the aux cord comment but god drat no one should be burning cds to listen to in their car.

I once had an 02 accord that I put a BT headunit in for less than $100. It was simple. That was four years ago, likely only cheaper now.

Crutchfield's

They would be my first choice. They sell their head units in kits with the correct harness for you car model, mounting brackets/adapters, tools, a model specific installation guide and access to an 800 number for installation assistance.

I use a bluetooth speaker because this car came with only a CD player and radio in 2008. Replacing it involves removing multiple pieces of trim and spudgering the thing out, as well as trying to find a replacement faceplate if I don’t want the new unit sticking out and shouting BREAK IN AND TAKE ME WITH YOU. fite me

My car is old enough to drink and would have a cassette deck if it hadn't broken years ago. I listen to music on a portable bluetooth speaker turned up way too high so I can hear it over the sound of the air rushing past the windows that don't close.

I leave poo poo in my car all the time with zero fear of it getting stolen because no one is going to see opportunity in a sad '92 Explorer.

I work in EMS, and two of our ambulances have aux inputs, as does the stereo in the garage. The other two ambulances have USB inputs, but they don't work. If I can't use an aux cable, I can't listen to music

I also can't switch to a non-IPhone because the building has a steel frame that acts as a faraday cage for the frequencies that ATT uses, so iMessaging on the wifi is how I stay sane on 24s

I’ll admit that taking out trim isn’t ideal, but it’s often easier than you’d think. Usually it’s just a matter of removing a couple screws and then pulling the trim away. As for the faceplate, all but the cheapest aftermarket stereos have removable ones that you can pop on and off easily if you’re worried about theft where you live.

Seconding Crutchfield. Various family members have had to get replacement car stereos over the years and all of them ordered from Crutchfield. They give you all the hardware you need and clear instructions.

To be fair I wouldn’t have it either except Kia updated my 2014 Soul’s radio to add it for free, which I was pretty happy about. Most car makers don’t offer feature upgrades like that for previous model years, and if they do there’s a charge associated with it.
