Maybe I'm just lucky, but so far so good with iPhone

First let me say that I feel badly for all who have had issues with their phones. I'm beginning to think that I just lucked out and there is no rhyme or reason for it.
Stood in line for 4 hours June 29th to get my iPhone 8 gig. Took it home and activated at 7:30 P.M. that night. No problems (was an existing customer). 2 minutes to activate, another 5 or so to synch, and it has worked as advertised ever since. No syncing problems either way from or to phone (calendar and contacts). Email has worked fine. I learned much from everyone here how to manage my battery life, and that has been fine too. Today lots of emails, a little web browsing, lots of calls, Blue tooth on, some wifi, but mostly off and got a little under 4 hours "usage" and total time of around 8 hours. 2/3rds battery left.
I don't think I've gotten the elusive "green glow", but the battery has always charged fully (plug icon). I have noticed one thing. If I plug the phone in to the ac charger for the night while it is still on and power off when the phone is locked the wheel spins for a very short time after the slider is turned to off. If I do the same with the phone on the home screen (unlocked) the wheel spins for a MUCH longer time. Almost like a reset. Not sure what this means, but again so far so good.
Having said and posted all this I hope I don't turn the phone on tomorrow and all **** breaks loose, but I don't think it will. I'm also confident Apple will address most if not all of our concerns in the next software update.
Good luck to all and thanks,
CD3

"Syncing" is another way of saying "transferring" or "connecting" your iPod to iTunes. So no, you cannot put anything on the iPod without syncing it.
However, I think what you need is to set the iPod to manage your songs manually.
This will allow you to transfer songs and videos to your iPod and not erase anything that is currently stored on it. If you are going to delete everything from your computer after you have transferred it to the iPod ( a very bad idea), then this is the setting you need.
"why cant i play songs off my ipod while its connected to my computer, thats crap"
Again, "manual song management" is the answer.
Not crap at all really.

  • Hi! I've just purchased a new iPhone 5s but whenever I text people with iPhones it's always sent from my iCloud account. This means that my email show instead of my name/number which is really frustrating! Does anyone know how to stop this?

    Hi! I've just purchased an iPhone 5S but whenever I text people with iPhones it sends from my iCloud account. This means that my email comes up for other people not my name/number which is really frustrating! Does anyone know how to stop this?

    Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive> Is your phone number checked there? If you do not want your email used, then tap on them and remove the checkmark. If there is no checkmark by your phone number, then turn iMessage off, perform a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Turn iMessage on. When it activates, check your settings again under Send and Receive and make sure the number is checked and the emails are not.

  • IPhone 5 will not be recognized by iTunes or charge while on but when turned off the iPhone will charge just fine but still won't sync with iTunes what should I do?

    Was charging my iphone 5 for about an hour or so after charging unplugged and went to playing games phone was at 5% so I grabbed my cable and plugged it into the wall nothing happened tried three different chords and blocks and sockets afterwards I plugged my phone into the computer and it wouldn't charge or sync with iTunes it acted as if it wasn't even plugged in so I shut the phone off and though I'd give It a break and try again later. As I got ready to go to bed I though I'd try to plug it back in and see if anything happened nothing did so I just left it I went to mess with it this morning and come to find out it was at 100% I continued to mess with it and i came to the conclusion that it only charges when turned off. I can't get the phone to reset and would love to restore with iTunes if it would sync with iTunes I don't know what I need to do but really need my problem resolved since its a hassle to have to turn off my iphone in order to get it to charge

    Is that a new iPhone? Bring it in to Apple for a replacement.
    But do this first:
    hold the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time, keep holding, ignore everything on the screen, keep holding until you see the white Apple logo appear, then let go and let it start up.
    It should charge both when on and off, unless you connect throug a hub and there are current eaters also on the hub: connect directly to the usb port.

  • My message on my MacBook Air is sending and receiving messages just fine, but it's not syncing with my contacts... how do I fix it?

    I've synced my contacts with my iCloud and the messages are coming through just fine on my Mac and iPhone but on the mac message app, none of my contacts are there. Not sure if it has to do with iCloud or the message. Can someone please help?

  • Its working just fine but does it look good? Take a look and give me your advice!

    I got to say that this is my first finnished labview program, and  it's working fine, almost no problems. But i'm not that shure about
    this huge while loop with all its instructions. Normaly a while loop takes 1 ms to iterate once, but this loop takes more than one ms,
    I'm using another subVI to catch data up to 5 ms. / sample as output from measurement device to  the while loop in this Sub vi, and then from this sub VI i'm initializing the data value read from the Measurement device, to a global variable that i read in this huge while loop.  I belive that the subVI while loop iterates several times before the huge loop iterates once. Meaby thats why my graphs for the data are plotting more than one data at a time.
    Take a look and give your advice, it seems that all the measurements are well. And I don't really got problems with the program when running, exept from small delays when I switch the sample rates.

    I agree with Titou.
    Wow!  That's an eye-full. 
    There are some functions like setting audio On / Off that may not need to be in there.  Or do they?  You'd have to describe what the loop is supposed to do.  Same comment for the indicator display settings on property nodes.  Do you intend to turn them on/off a number of times during an iteration of the loop?
    You should "divide & conquer".  By that I mean, use sub-vi's that are function specific.  As mentionned by Titou, you should have a look at the development guidelines.   Basically, now that you have a working loop, you can improve it by creating some sub-vi's, revisit some items that may  not need to be in the loop.  As a matter of fact, you could create some control & indicators and maybe transform the loop into a sub-vi as well. 
    There are many Case Statements that you could convert to sub-vi's and that way, you could eliminate the global variables by using indicators and wiring directly to them.
    However, I would have to say that the value for "Write Flow Data" might become unpredictable due to race conditions.  Revisit how the value(s) are set for that one.
    But it does look like you had some fun doing this one.  Which is the most important thing.  To have fun implementing solutions with LV.
    Happy wiring!

  • 6280 on O2 - so far so good

    Well I finally got my Nokia 6280 upgrade from O2 yesterday.
    So far I am pleased with the phone - charged it up, uploaded my contacts from my old phone. Have also bluetoothed a couple of mp3 ringtones that I made c/o Audacity from my PC. Have played games on that came on the phone, sent loads of texts and made a few phone calls and the battery is coming up for nearly empty.
    I know I have only had it for 36 hours but so far so good (touch wood). Im glad that I went ahead with this phone, it certainly lives up to expectation.

    JCLouis, 
    We saw your story and are very worried about what we read! This isn't like us at all and we are here to help sort it all out. We recommend calling the Rebate Center to check on the status. Their number is 1-800-457-0864.
    We can help you right here with your phone! How often does it turn off? Is it just that the screen goes black or does it completely power down? Also, does it start back up by itself if it does power down?

    What a horrible way to treat customers. I was due for updates on my phones and thought I should maybe check some other prices but have been with Verizon for 20 yrs so ended up there. I got 2 new IPhones 5s and the wife couldn’t decide what she wanted so she stayed with old phone but this locked me into a new 2 yr contract . Within a wk one of the new iPhones started turning on and of like 10 –15 times a day. Wk 2 it turned off and would not turn on again . It was my sons who was in college at the time so we talked and he took it in to a Verizon store where he was told I need to come in since the account was in my name. He was away from home , Verizon could see on account it was his phone they said it was not abused, they could not even turn it on , they sold me the phone give him another phone maybe even a loaner till he gets another. So now I need to go to store and explain to 3 different people this is my phone and my son has it and I need a new one. what a waste of time after about 2 hrs and talking to different people and yes they said there were notes on his account from other person he had talked to from different store. So I finally walk out with a receipt in hand and being told I would have a new phone in a couple days. As I sat in my vehicle thinking this is stupid I looked at my receipt and noticed it said droid on it so back into Verizon I went. The salesman said that’s what your son has on his account. My son had activated a friends old phone so he has one since VERIZON REFUSED to give him one. Another hr 3 people and yes they can see he had a new iPhone and notes on it from other store. Sometimes sorry just doesn't do it. I was now late for a appointment . Now I walk out and have been told I will get a new iPhone in the mail in about 2 wk Yes 2 wks   again I bought it there just give me a new one and you send old one back. I will also get a new droid that I have to send back because they said they cant cancel it  . In about 3 days I get the Droid and sent it back Verizon mistake and a waste of my time . After waiting over 2 wks and not receiving a new iPhone back to Verizon I went . I am now bitter at Verizon after doing 20 yrs of business with them. 3 people 1 hr later I was told it got delivered to my post office . I got the tracking num called the post office and they say o yes that was the droid. Go back in to Verizon another hr of explaining I walk out being told I will get a new iPhone in a couple of days, We’ll see . Once again I got the phone in your store just give me a new one . Do you realize how much of my time you have wasted ? do you care? O what is Your Policy ? How many Billion did you make last year ? I am Locked into a new 2 yr contract . Why don’t you just release me ? After 20 yrs do you think I will ever renew my contract ?

    Simple process. If an iPhone go to the Apple Store and not Verizon
    the phone from Verizon will be a refurbished device and not new unless under the 14 day worry free guarantee
    good luck

  • Hello hi, i just won't to ask, if there has been any changes on how to find a stolen phone, did some one come up with a fare and good solution. as it is not fare at all when some one could use it for free and there is a lot of things could be done to this

    hello hi, i just won't to ask, if there has been any changes on how to find a stolen phone, did some one come up with a fare and good solution, new Apps. as it is not fare at all when some one could use it for free and there is a lot of things could be done to this condition, no one seem to care,
    i have a story about my sister, am talking on her behalf, she got stolen her phone at a caffee when she just come from a horeble exam, she was very mad and having haedace for not doing well at the exam, i ask her if we could have coffee before we go home, once she sate; while i was getting the coffee for her, some one snicked to her pocket and took the phone, immidatly she feelt it and went on to searching, but nathing was hopefull. what makes it more heart braking is that she worked day and night just to buy the phone and pay for her books and so on as a student. she use to work 16 houres a day before she had to start school. 8 houres in one place and then to the other place. and she was always demanding for more houres to work; one day her boss saw her on her other job and she was serprised to see her and saied OHhh my God Milly if you work like this, i wonder if you servive, how could you also ask for more houres, My sis had to do it she has no parents or any thing, well the phone was taken after only two months of having it. the sad thing is she stile dream having it even though she can't think of buying againe. well me i have tryed a lot of things but i know some were out there there is a solution for people like this, it is not always fare for some one who has payed up to 800 to just loose his ......  
    Thnks

    I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
    I hope she gets her phone back.
    Best of luck.

    And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
    I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
    The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
    And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

  • In my photo stream my sister in law shows up as my brothers name? Even though I dont have John Smith anywhere in my contacts, I may have just John but no smith. So everytime she likes a photo it says his name for some reason??

              In my photo stream my sister in law shows up as my brothers name even thought her contact card says just Kim and no Smith ? Even though I dont have John Smith anywhere in my contacts, I may have just John but no smith. So everytime she likes a photo it says his name for some reason?? Her name is ]corrrect on other peoples phone that are members of the same photo stream. I have looked into both contact cards and cannot find anything anywhere that would make her name show up as John Smith when I send the invitr to her email or phone muber. I even went as far as changing her name to see and deleting her from the group and readding and still no luck.BTW I am using an iphone 5 with the latest update.

    Hello,
    It is my understanding that the name displayed here will be that which is (in Contacts) associated with the email address for the Apple ID registered with the iCloud account of the person on the stream.
    In other words, check to see if the contact entry for your brother in your iPhone has an email address. If this email address in his contact entry is also associated with the Apple ID that your sister-in-law is using for iCloud (which is responsible for Photo Streams), this could be the cause of the delemma. I believe this is a programmed feature and not a bug, but I'm not positive about the methods iCloud uses to display that name.
    In order to troubleshoot this, delete that email address in your brother's Contact entry and add it to your sister-in-law's Contact entry. This could correct the issue. If that works, you could then add the email back to your brother's entry (so that it is in both of their entries) and see what happens.

    Since all Intel i3 processors have at least 2 cores, your specs are well above the requirements; see http://ark.intel.com/products/family/75025#@All
    I have some computers with far slower processors, and Flash Player 14 works perfectly well on them too.

  • Looking for an effect that I thought was in Audition, or maybe I am just crazy haha

    For whatever reason I cannot find this effect (then again like I said, maybe I am just crazy because I might have seen it someplace else). Anyway, it is the effect that makes your audio come to a stop like it is playing on a turntable (losing power quickly). It sort of fades out while slowing down the audio.
    I looked through the effects and didn't find it and I could of sworn I have seen it before. I tried recreating the effect from the FTT filters options but it just didn't sound quite right. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated.

    Effects / Time & Pitch / Pitch Bender / 'turntable losing power' preset
    It is a really cool preset it is!
    Only works in Edit mote, quite naturally.
    (This doesn't mean your not crazy after all)
