I think since the iPhone 4s days. Back then, one would go into the Settings > About menu to trigger a carrier update. Is there another way to force this that I’m not aware of? Get a new SIM card perhaps? To do a carrier update with Sprint, you dial ##873283# on the phone. I am not sure what the code maybe there. You can ask your carrier, they may pass that information along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s a carrier update available, you will be prompted to download it. You can also try resetting your network settings as that will force your phone to redownload the current carrier package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacinJosh Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Well, I did it. I ordered an iPhone X from Best Buy this afternoon. I'll have it by Friday. I'm excited. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azimuth Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 So, after 2 months, I’ve picked up a problem and I’m not sure how to solve it. I know there are a lot of knowledge folks on here, especially with regards to radios, cellular stations, cell phones and the relationship between them. To be clear, I’m not sure if the problem is hardware, an iOS bug (I’m on 11.2.6) or my carrier. The nature of the problem is this: I’m on the baby carrier in South Africa and they have a roaming agreement with the second largest carrier. About 2 weeks ago, my phone stopped roaming back to the “home” network and I have to flip the Airplane Mode switch to force it to go back to the home network. I’ve never had this problem before with my carrier nor previous iPhones. The only thing that has changed is the X - although this wasn’t an issue during the first month (unless I failed to notice the pattern because I didn’t run out of data whilst roaming). I’ve reset my network settings followed by all settings when that didn’t work. The only thing I haven’t done is wipe my phone and set it up as a new phone...doubtful if that will work but I’ll do it to rule out all possibilities. What do you guys think? A small but positive update. After ticking over to the new month, the problem basically disappeared. Roaming is working again and I don’t have to use airplane mode anymore. So I guess something is up with the carrier... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimuth Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 On a different note, I came across an intriguing bug today. While in traffic, bumper to bumper, my phone was on the car charger and with a one-handed operation, I accidentally triggered a screenshot. The UI and Face ID were totally disabled. The only way to gain control again was to trigger a shutdown (power + volume down)...and then cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azimuth Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Random update post: iPhone X and AirPods...my digital life is complete.

burnout8488 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 If anyone installs the 11.4 public beta, let us know if the carrier updates to a version later than 32.0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Me and a friend both have the same iPhone X model (256GB), both on the Sprint Freedom Unlimited plan, both under the 23GB deprioritization limit, both even using the exact same model phone case (Spigen Ultra Hybrid), however my phone always freezes up when trying to use data (Facebook, Pokemon Go, iMessages, etc.) in certain areas of town and his works just fine. My solution as of late has been to toggle my phone into 3G only mode whenever I'm in known crap areas. I've taken it to the Apple Store to have a diagnostic test run with nothing found. Any reason why my phone has worse signal? Any suggestions that might help? I've also already reset network settings, twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With air travel for my job, the supplied earphones from Apple, not air pods, did not perform very well. The Bose set does offer noise cancellation and helps tremendously when the cabin pressurizes. Also, I am not as worried having the Bose set causing any hearing damage since I do not need to have them at max volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
