My favorite iOS 8 feature is continuity because now I don't silently judge people for making me have to go pick up my iPhone anymore when I get an SMS message. I can respond from my iPad or the desktop.

Sms relay is awesome. Unfortunately my "old" MacBook Pro can't do continuity with apps and what not. Thad alright though. I like answering on the computer. Very nice when I'm in class. And it even works with normal "texts." Gah

Almost everyone I know has an iPhone. I think 1 person I talk to has a moto x.

Shhh!  Don't tell AJ that...

 

Why not?  Go ahead and tell me.  It basically supports my point.  The iPhone is everywhere.  It is the hoi polloi phone, and its ubiquity/influence is a big part of what makes it annoying.  Popularity is not a moral good.  If anything, it is a manifestation of low culture.

You guys are going to hate me, but that sounds a lot like Google Voice integration.  Handset, tablet, laptop/desktop.  Not a new feature for Android users on Sprint.  It has been around for years.

Don't take the bait guys - just let it go!

 

It is not bait.  My arguments are rational.  Good grief.

The google maps update today is phenomenal. It's beautiful looking. I was comparing it to the version on my m8. Google has made the iOS version nicer than their android version. That's sad, but great for us.

Rational?  This is from just the last few posts of yours in this thread...

 
  • "What is with the pandering to and popularity of the iPhone?  Seemingly, every user is either a so called expert or a wireless moron."
  • "Come on, the iPhone deserves the dislike it receives."
  • "The iPhone is everywhere.  It is the hoi polloi phone, and its ubiquity/influence is a big part of what makes it annoying.  Popularity is not a moral good.  If anything, it is a manifestation of low culture."

 

 

It's a shame that the ignore feature doesn't work on Tapatalk.

You have done nothing to show that my arguments are not rational.  They are supported by facts, observations, and reason.  That is, by definition, rational.

 

Despite what many think, S4GRU is not an Android worship site.  But it is not going to be an iOS support group -- especially with the damage that Apple's iPhone policies have inflicted upon the wireless industry and Sprint, in particular, over the years.

 

S4GRU does not host Sprint complaints.  But no rule prohibits Apple negativity.

 

(And this post is being written on a MacBook Air; not to mention, I own an iPad mini.  So, do not tell me that I lack the requisite perspective.)

AJ is being rational. Look what the iPhone did to AT&T's network, and the 4S did to Sprint. Not to mention the industry in general. The iPhone's popularity is the biggest nightmare for networks that can't handle the traffic. Even I admit the iPhone has been detrimental in ways.

 

Nothing is flawless in technology. NOTHING! And that's fortunate reality. When technology becomes flawless, then the machines will rule the world and we will be their slaves. We don't ever want to get to that point.

There is nothing rational about saying a product deserves to be disliked. It's just a phone.

 

I used to have an Android phone, but that doesn't give me carte blanche to go into every thread about them and talk about how Google is ruining privacy or whatever.

 

 

Anyway, this is far enough offtopic as it is, and since apparently disagreement can be a bannable offense, I'll drop the matter and move on.

Ok, lets get back on track. 

 

Question. With the iPhone 6 and 6 + being much bigger than previous iPhones, have any of you put them in a case or kept it naked because you feel its already big in your hands.

So far everyone I've seen with an iPhone 6+ has it without a case.

 

Fire away.

Case. Good thing too because I've dropped it a few times already.

Its best not to annoy AJ. He has strong opinions and will back them up endlessly with well reasoned statements. Mix that with opinions that vary and all the fun of arguing dies.

I totally agree, I just wish there was a way to use Google Maps as the default Map though.

I want to hate my case, I really do. But two of my friends dropped their phones and cracked their screens. I have AppleCare, but they stupidly did not buy it even though I told them 10 times to get it. No insurance either.

 

So it scared me to putting one on.

Request for opinions, I read the iPad 2.1amp charger charges a 6+ much faster but do you think the battery life will be better with the standard charger? I mean the time before the battery needs replacing not how long one charge lasts.

It will not damage the phone or effect battery life.

 

I am actually using the iPad charger right now and prefer to use it when I need a quick charge because it'll charge me up to 90% from 5% in about 90 minutes or less, depending on if I am still using the phone.

Everything I've read about lithium ion batteries in smart phones, 2.1 amp has no negative effect on your battery. It's all I use anymore because it charges soooo much faster and I haven't noticed any negative ramifications on any of my phones / tablets.

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
