Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite Beta (Formerly iOS 8 Beta/Mac OS 10.10 Beta)


Recommended Posts

Why? I don't use it that much.

Firstly illegal abuse of the network is a banned discussion here. Secondly it's usually going to have a negative affect on the network for other customers.

That's better than what most people use it for. The reason it's such a touchy topic here is that most people who say they tether illegally, abuse the hell out of the network. I'm talking 100's of gb's on a wireless network that isn't made for that. There's a big issue with a lot of TMO customers doing that because they say they can.

 

Dictation still uses data, even on the beta. :(

 :( . I guess it makes sense. Give it a few years and we might be able to do that without internet...

They probably don't want to increase the size of ios8.

My brother suggested that if we had good service when we moved we could also do this. Then I informed him of how wrong he is, and how detrimental that is to the network and he said oh...didn't know that. You'd be surprised on how many people have no idea that what they're doing impacts the network negatively.

Mac OS X Mavericks got offline dictation, and the download was to the tune of 960 MB or so to do it. To increase iOS that much to bring offline dictation to the iPhone would be bad for the 16GB & lower models.

Well the iPhone's/iPad's/iPod's all have a specific portion of the Flash Storage partitioned off specifically for the OS. I think it's around 2 GB, at least on the 5S. iOS 8 beta 4 is around 1.8 GB on the 5S, so 960 MB would be more than is partitioned, which means less user storage.

1.8 GB already? Wow.

Plus the iphone has a lot less processing power and RAM.

RAM? Yes. Processing power? That's a little complicated. I recently found an article about the A7 chip that says that it can actually hold its own against the Intel i-series processors. When Apple says the A7 chip is a "desktop class" processor, they're not joking.

Hey, maybe the iPhone 6 5.5 will have 2GB RAM or more and support offline dictation.

When will Apple make iTunes on Windows less of a turd? I was a Mac user for years, but just switched back to Windows because I like the idea of paying less than $1000 for my desktop and being able to upgrade the RAM when necessary. iTunes is horrible on Windows. Slow and crashes often.

Whenever Apple ditches XML for storing library information (Among other things).

I doubt XML is the issue. It isn't on Mac OS; it runs flawlessly on OS X. On Windows, though, it takes a few seconds to react to my mouse click and freezes when syncing sometimes.

 

We have enough RAM now that my entire XML library file can be stored in RAM, along with a sizable chunk of my music files. I hate to think Apple purposefully hobbles iTunes on Windows, but it kind of seems like that considering how pokey it is. If it weren't for my iPhone, I would have ditched it long ago. None of my music is DRM anymore.

I would just like to state that, god, I love Apple. My phone was doing this weird popping noise and the screen would push in and out and I was just annoyed with the fact that it's happening. I took it to apple, they took a look at it, (there was actually an option on their iPad for screen is making popping noises so I know that it's not me being crazy), and they got me a new one and I restored from iCloud and was on my way. No hassle. It's nice. Keeps me as a loyal customer TBH

Had this happen with my iPhone 5c. The longest part was waiting for my device to restore from iCloud.

Was the weird popping noise happening when making calls/using the cellular radio?

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No specific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
