new itouch's should make great pseudo-phones for kids..

 

itouch + google voice#/hangouts & facetime + wifi

 

a8 + smaller screen should be awesome for games too

I was thinking about getting one for me... It would be a nice Google burner with Hangouts/Inbox and FaceTime video/voice.

 

I just need to find more public wifi networks.

Has anyone downgraded from 9 to 8.4? I restored last night, deleted that public beta profile, and I have a stuck notification badge over settings saying "iOS 9 is available." It's annoying, and I have no idea how to get rid of it. Google was no help.

I downgraded, but had no problems. Did you set up as a new iPhone? I restored to my previous iOS 8.4 backup.

Sprint used to compress images, that may be what's going on. Sometimes it would be night and day difference, if you connect through a VPN there was no compression.

Do you still have the beta configuration profile still installed? Personally I'm keeping the beta on my phone in spite of some of the minor nuisances.

Same here. I like the working data in weak areas!

For Verizon coverage in my town, it's an essential must have.

I was unaware it was the new new one that was being discussed. Didn't think they had another new one. Sorry. The generation before this one.

 

take it back and get the *new* new one!

I deleted that first, and it's still stuck. Apple support wants me to just recovery mode/restore one more time.

Well then it doesn't surprise me that the two of you aren't impressed, because I wouldn't be either. You basically have a non-cellular capable 4 inch iPhone 4s. Kinda hard to run an OS created in 2015 on a processor that came out in 2011. :)

Had I known it was quite that bad I would have just paid to have the battery replaced in the older one. Grrr. Damn you Apple.

I'll buy one once they hit the apple refurb store. It's the perfect device for the kids to run into the ground.

Decided to go to 8.4 for the time being. I now realize how much laggier beta was...even though I had to restore as new phone and import my photos, (which apparently I can't delete unless I plug into iTunes because the delete button is missing?) I am still liking 8.4 stability better.

 

 

Another thing to note. I hate the task switcher in iOS 9. Like I hate hate hate it. I like the ability to get an actual preview of whatever is on another app, not a 3/4 view of it. I hope they make some changes to that

Agreed. I don't like it either. It jumps around, and swiping up to get rid of them is more difficult than when they're 2D. I sent a bug report about the app switcher. It doesn't put the current app front and center. Instead, it puts it off to the side, and some other app is centered. Maybe that's by design?

    • Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!
    • That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.
    • 417.55 MB September security update just downloaded here for S24+ unlocked   Edit:  after Sept security update install, checked and found a 13MB GP System update as well.  Still showing August 1st there however. 
    • T-Mobile is selling the rest of the 3.45GHz spectrum to Columbia Capital.  
    • Still nothing for my AT&T and Visible phones.
