Look into on campus Apple support. They're "part time" but you can work up to 40 or more depending on how much they need you. I know around Milwaukee they have it for one of the main UW campuses.

Ive heard getting hired at Apple is harder than getting into Stanford lol

That it is. Just for a specialist position I went through 4 interviews and didn't make the last one. And then they still have to decide after that to hire you. And you never talk to the same person twice. So it makes it difficult to nail down how you should talk to who and say what when.

I did a fresh install of 8.1..3 a few days ago, and rebuilt my phone from scratch. My battery seems like it's back to normal now. 50% remaining: 7:14 usage, 12:34 standby.

Had this weird thing happen. I guess when I turned on iCloud photos beta on myiphone, it decided to delete my iCloud backup...so I turned it off and checked my back up from last night and it was only 1.6 gb, which obviously doesnt make sense because I have like 7 gb of photos. 

 

So I turned it on and off and I think? its now backing up my photos...that's pretty annoying because I would be very irritated if I had lost those since I don't regularly sync to iPhoto. Anyways, we will see.

iCloud photo backup is fantastic. I've been using it since its inception. My backup used to be around 8gb including photos. Now it's 1gb and 7gb. It just splits it up, but it lets you view the photos in real time on any iDevice that you have linked up. Edit a photo on your iPhone, and it's instantly fixed on your iPad, etc..

 

Edit: it also is constantly adding/deleting from your iCloud account. If you leave the house and take 20 pictures, delete 4 old pictures, and take 2 videos, the changes happen immediately upon returning to wifi instead of only changing when your backup occurs. You'll see the changes pending in the iCloud photos tab, just waiting for wifi.

I saw it uploading 1200+ photos from my Mac. I don't want 1200 photos from my Mac on iCloud lol. I'll have no iCloud space left. Unless there is a way to set it to where only the photos in my iPhone are uploaded?

Kind of like how Photo Stream works/worked? Where photos you shoot on your iDevice make it into iPhoto as a one-way delivery?

Hoping we get wifi calling soon!

 

About that. My contact with the executive team talked to people in network, and they said they are still working with Apple. They do not have an estimated time to release. They are keeping very tight-lipped about it.

 

Also, they are saying that Apple has to approve PRL's too before they are pushed to the iPhone, but I'm not fully sure that that is right.

Dang! I was hoping very soon since they said back in December 30-60 days.

 

Oh well. I honestly need it while I'm at school other than that my service is perfect everywhere else

That sounds like an Apple move - don't want to bust the user experience.

Thanks for this. Been wondering about flicking that Beta switch. Now there's no way. 8,300 photos and counting.

Thanks Josh.  Reads as most of the deploy will cover health apps and a few stability fixes.  I know the 8.3 release has been discussed.  Any major updates coming in that deploy that you know of?

Hopefully by freak chance we will finally get wifi calling on Sprint, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm thinking it's primarily being released for Apple Watch.

I see nothing about a WiFi fix. I have a 5, a 6 and an iPad Air. While all on the same WiFi network, sometimes a device will just not pull anything unless rebooted while the other devices are fine. It never happens on my laptop, Nexus 7, or Lumia so I'm having a hard time believing it's my router. Frustrated and tired of waiting.

Before my current router I had a Lynksys EA3500 and I used to have the same issues when any of my iDevices were connected to the 2.4 band; I wouldn't have the same trouble with 5 ghz, but that wouldn't cover my entire house like 2.4. If you search around you'll find there's a known issue with that router and Apple device usability (it would connect just fine, but both download & upload would get severely limited, sometimes to the point that data services were unusable). I replaced it with a refurbished EA 2500 and no issues anymore (and I've since replaced that with an AirPort Extreme which has performed even better than the 2500).

I've tried whitelisting all my devices, extending lease time to 9999, giving everything static IP's...nothing works. My old iPod Touch that is stuck on iOS 6 never has WiFi problems. I'm starting to think of iOS 8 as a semi-polished turd. I guess I was hoping that I wouldn't have to spend any more money on equipment and Apple would just "fix it"

I used to have router problems all the time; constantly needing to be power-cycled, dead WAN connection, etc.. I went and bought an AirPort Express 2 years ago, and haven't touched it since. It's crazy how well Apple routers work. They're the best, in my opinion.

Apple routers are nice, but with him only having problems with devices running on iOS 8 it makes me wonder if there is an underlying bug that isn't playing nice with his router firmware/hardware. I've dealt with similar problems over the years with a few different devices (windows, android, game consoles etc). With all the endless combinations of equipment and software versions out its bound to happen.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
