The iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch circlejerk thread

[goughy]

I use Chrome and Calengoo, instead of Safari and Calendar.
iTunes is better.

You should take a look at dolphin browser, I think they have it for ios. If it's the same as android, they have some nice features for bookmarks etc that I just can't live without now days.

They do have it for iOS.

I used it for a while but didn't find it any better than Chrome.

[goughy]

I just find it better to just slide right to get to my bookmarks etc. I find most mobile browser bookmarks a pain to access.

[AndyP]

I have Chrome on my work PC, home PC and iPad as well, so I won't be change the iPhone.

Just picked up a new iPhone 5s, happy to be back on the iPhone from the HTC.

There is a ridiculous monotony in the amount of times I hear / read this sentence.

Glad to have you back Iain.

What Timah said. Mine seems slower since the v5 upgrade, but I think it is more to do with being 3G still vs 4G. I think that Telstra is allowing the 3G network to degrade whilst trying to push everyone to 4G. So the slowness is most obvious on apps that do a lot of data refreshes.

Slow data does not mean the operating system is slow. Two completely different things. Thats like saying to your mechanic your car wont go any faster but it turns out you only get to drive in Bangkok peak hour.

I've been happy with IOS 7 on my 4S but it's often sitting in a dock so battery life isn't a major issue for me.

I'm having issues sending iMessages to my wife's phone though. Text works fine.

[AndyP]

The solution, Ashes, is to turn iMessage off, reset Network settings, then turn it back on again. Meanwhile, Apple are working on yet another 1 Zigabyte update to fix it.

Telstra?

I've had no problems sending messages to her btw.

After 4 HTCs in less than 2 years, work will be providing an iPhone 5c on Monday. Happy days. I still use my 3s around the house for net access and apps.

It will be 1GB if you purely download that particular software update.

It will be around 50MB if you do so via Delta update over-the-air.

[AndyP]

There is no update yet.

[Ashes]

Serious regret about installing IOS7 now.

Run both personal and work email on my iPhone. Since the update, despite personal email by set as the default account, all emails I send are being pushed through the work email..

You are correct. My concern is that iOS7 will slow the phone down. This combined with the slow data would drive me crazy.

But, if iOS7 is not a problem then I would install it.

Have you tried running your personal email through a separate app?I use the Gmail app for mine for 2 reasons. 1. It's specifically designed for my gmail account, and 2. it provides separation from my work stuff so I don't have to look or think about work emails on weekends etc. unless I really want to.

There is a setting for default mail account. Have you checked that?I found that it is too hard to have personal and work email in the same app, I was always getting it arse about when sending. Now I use separate apps, so much easier.

[AndyP]

I just use a separate phone for my work stuff (both iPhone 4). It's the ultimate separation.

iOS 7 Jailbreak released overnight.

Compatible with all devices running iOS 7.01, .02, .03 & .04

[goughy]

That took a while.

[LeftyHoges]

That took a while.

About as long as it normally takes for a new iOS to be broken the first time. 3 months is pretty much standard now.

Actually a little quicker than it should have been from all reports, with some big money on offer, there was apparently 3 "teams" working on it.

[goughy]

Bugger me! It's an industry in its own right!

Think when the galaxy s4 was released root access was achieved before it hit the shelves!
