cyclone Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 My phone has been acting funny after the beta 2 update. I know the most common is the gap between the top row of apps and the row of info at the top. That doesn't bother me as much because opening apps forces it to fix itself. Now I'm showing wifi and LTE both at the same time. I also have apps that randomly crash now and Bluetooth problems connecting to vehicles.

Vince Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Twice a day? Holy cow. How much background and location apps are you running? Not many. I use "storm" for weather with its "follow me" location feature for alerts. This has used 1% of my battery in 3 days, so that's not a problem. I stream SiriusXM at work, and sometimes Apple Music/Spotify. On a 6 Plus? I have a Note 4 now, but I thought my 6 Plus had excellent battery life.Just a regular 6. I guess I should update my profile. When I had the plus, it was only marginally better than my 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? That's odd. My Plus and my fathers' Plus are leaps and bounds better than my Mom and Sisters' 6's when it comes to battery life. -Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltimehack Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Pretty sure I lost my Apple ID today. Downgraded to 8.4 to try jailbreak and see what hacks they had out nowadays and when I erased my phone to start over clean my phone stopped receiving the verification texts I'm supposed to get. After me being an idiot and trying to create my own verification texts I now locked myself our of my account. Woot! The failed sign in page says it'll be unlocked in 8 hours but from what I've read online it never unlocks and unless you have access to a trusted device and your password you're screwed. Since my phone no longer appears to be a trusted device I'm pretty much SOL. If you have 2 step authorization on your phone make sure you know your recovery key! If you don't go reset it now!

travismheim Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 My battery is just garbage most of the time. It's really the biggest, and maybe the only downside to owning an iPhone. I've just learned to deal with charging my phone twice a day. That was my experience for the few days I was trying an iPhone. The battery life was a little worse than my year and a half old Nexus 5, I couldn't make it through the day without recharging it once. Screen on time might have been a little better, it was hard to tell since battery stats didn't show screen time but stand by was significantly worse. I also had poor LTE performance, it felt like I was back on my old EVO LTE. I wonder if that carrier bundle that broke LTE is contributing towards the poor battery performance by dropping LTE more often. I wouldn't mind an iPhone that was almost twice as thick, with a battery that is twice as large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Here are my current battery stats. I guess it isn't too bad today, but something is causing my usage to always equal my standby, which doesn't seem right. I only have a weather app that occasionally pings my location, and is showing background activity, and 2% battery usage in 4 days. Nothing else is showing background activity. I'm jailbroken, so I wonder if I have a rogue tweak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just call Apple Support. If you can prove that you own the account they'll reset it for you themselves. This used to be a lot easier before the whole iCloud hacking thing. But since this is legitimately your account they'll probably reset it for you after some questioning. Sent from my iPhone 6 Plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife was having issues with both her iPad and iPhone quickly losing battery power and I found that she was using Facebook Messenger. The battery on either device would be depleted in just a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone 6 Plus Only way to prove your account is with your password, verification code or your recovery key. I don't have my recovery key and my verification doesn't work. I have an appt to have them look at my screen today and see if they'll give me a new phone. I'll just ask em about it when I'm up there. Appointment is in a little over an hour so fingers crossed I have good news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltimehack Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Good news. The Apple store replaced my phone since it appeared that the bend wasn't intentional or done by dropping it. (Why would I purposefully bend my phone Apple?) Brand new iPhone without using an AppleCare replacement. Bad news. The store wasn't able to help me with my iCloud at all. On the phone with senior tech support now. I somehow get texts to verify my iCloud sign in but not for the manage my Apple ID website. Doesn't even ask me for my recovery key which I don't have anyways. Ugh. Edit. Advanced tech support tried to tell me there's nothing they could do. Explained what was going on again and it's supposedly something on Apple's end. They're escalating it up higher and I should hear back in a day or so with good news... Hopefully. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalltimehack Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 When I try to run iTunes with the carrier settings enabled it tells me "program" is not recognized as an internal command. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 When I try to run iTunes with the carrier settings enabled it tells me "program" is not recognized as an internal command. What am I doing wrong?I had the same problem. Navigate to c: / program files / on your computer, then I think it's shift or control + right click on the iTunes folder, "open command prompt here." Then, just type "iTunes.exe /setpref (whatever the code is). If it just returns a new command line without error messages, it worked.

MacinJosh Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Dropped my phone in water today. Fully submerged. Put it in a bag of brown rice and put in the sun for a half hour. Hopefully it'll be ok.

Sprint carrier is 20.6.17I love the WiFi assist setting, especially when my phone connects to the xfinitywifi networks scattered along my area, as well as my company's wifi once I go in the elevator or stairs.

smalltimehack Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Part of me wants to update to it so bad but I just can't. I tried beta 2 on my new phone and whenever I tried to change a ring tone it would force quit. Restore didn't work so I went back to 8.4. #firstworldproblems 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
