Realized there's a battery usage by app tracking now in iOS8. Now I never have to wonder what's killing my phone. :slick:

Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage

Also, it was Facebook... Time to change some permissions...

Yeah this thing is going to be hugely useful, mainly so people realize how much battery life they're giving away by using Facebook with the default options. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple's motivation behind this was primarily Facebook because it's insane how much power it uses even if you don't open the app.


The key is to realize you don't need to swipe the whole mail to open the menu. A quick flick will show you the options, a full swipe will do the default option (Trash/Archive). But yeah, I'd expect a setting for this to come in a future update (or a fix for the "ask before deleting" setting).

I've had background refresh turned off for Facebook since iOS7 came out and it was still top of the chart according to the usage. It's ridiculous.

Just be careful when judging apps based on this list because it doesn't do any kind of adjustment by usage. A single app could be using a huge percentage of your battery if you use it for a huge percentage of time. It's not necessarily bad for some apps to be using more battery than others. That said I definitely adjusted some Facebook settings after seeing how much it used during the betas.

Yep, but considering that Facebook was using at like 3 times more then lower apps, it was a safe bet.

I do like that it differentiates on usage if it's because it was in a bad area with low signal.

Oh yeah and a heads up for anyone using the new keyboards llike SwiftKey and having issues with the regular keyboard coming back: you can just remove the old original keyboard in the settings and rearrange SwiftKey to be the first option and it will always default to it.



The old keyboard will still come back for when you have to enter a password but otherwise it will always come first.

Dunno about SwiftKey, but the problem I have with Swype is now a known issue with all 3rd party keyboards.

This is the correct answer, apparently. After adding my local store as a favorite in the app it shows "Your Starbucks Card will appear on the lock screen when you arrive" and now in Passbook the option to "Show On Lock Screen" is on.

Although even after doing all that and even restarting my phone - jack poo poo shows up on my lock screen :shrug:

Is Location Services turned on for Passbook? It relies on that for it to appear on your lockscreen.

Is there a decent way to sync music that is sitting on my NAS (running FreeNAS) to my phone? I keep reading that if I use iTunes with a network share, I run the risk of losing stuff.

Edit: Through library corruption that is.

I can't think of any way this can happen without it being a general problem with FreeNAS, where are you hearing this?
If you map the share to a drive letter and keep a regular backup of the library file [itunes library.itl], there shouldn't be any need for concern.

Most of the Google results lead me to years old Apple support threads, so I wasn't sure if that was still a thing. I'm good now though.

Thinking of skipping AppleCare+ this go around after 2 generations of iPhones with no real problems outside of stuff that was found during the first year of ownership.

Been waiting the past couple of weeks for some cases I ordered to show up but as it turns out they're being shipped through the Royal Mail and I'm in the US. Got a little fed up on waiting (and already dinging the back of my phone) and FCKGW hipped me to Amazon's Slim Case that is pretty much a bootleg of the Apple leather case. I got it today and it... feels pretty good? The side buttons are tough as hell to press in now but otherwise seems to be pretty solid.

Nah, Bose is poo poo. Their home theatre line is absolute overpriced garbage paper that I could set on fire if I had thousands of dollars.

Their aviation gear is top-notch. The QuietComfort series is too. I had QC25s but they were purchased by a company I left, so unfortunately I had to leave them, but I loved them. They are competent, and do good things, but make most of their money to do those good things by screwing over people thinking their drat speakers are any good. Bose is both good and bad, and why I think they're evil is because they know they can be good, but choose to be bad in certain markets because they can. They're riding on the brand. They just know people buying expensive headphones or buying headsets for aviation aren't exactly the type to get sucked in by hype, so they actually do well there, but then when selling the average idiot... they ride on their brand.

Funny to say that in an Apple thread. We could say that about a few Apple products over the years, too.

My post was limited to the QC line. I have no opinion one way or the other regarding their other product lines.
