I just tried to turn off the iShitYlouNotPhone and it would not allow it. Every time I pressed the on-screen button, it ignored me. My goodness, this is just taking sulking a step too far! The Bright Side: I have to keep my temper and not fling It out of the open window. Keeping my temper is a stated object in my brain damage recovery, so If the phone gets it, I suffer a black mark.
If you turn it completely off -and have previously (unintentionally) changed some settings- you might not be able to turn it back on...
Do you know how frustrated your making us. Please get someone to show you how to use the phone please pretty please I'm begging you TIA
Not easy in Spain and when home, I'll treat myself to submit else. Although I might just put this phone on divert and retire it. I don't know as if I go abroad again, I don't want to divert to another mobile that's in a different country. It's difficult as although the camera is good too good for this sight as the pictures create too big a file to upload. Anyway, the phone did well with Cater Allen, although I never got any money out of the bastids. That was not the phone's fault. It was also my fault for forgetting to turn down the resolution when I took the piçs. Does anyone know if I can turn down the camera resolution permanently, so its one less thing to remember?
It's not resolution, or even revolution! It is just zooming in more. That reduces the size of the resulting picture. Now that I know. . . . I'm going to persevere. I have been on too much Apple-sussing to just leave it now.
It’s very simple to alter the resolution, ie file size, when you want to upload a photo taken with your phone - well, for most people. As someone said above just search on YouTube, there’ll be a video on it. Or just ask Google AI and it will explain all to you (without getting frustrated).
TECHNICAL SHIT: R U supposed to be able to send pictures on 3G? And wasn't 3G meant to be consigned to the bin several years ago? Mobile phones are a big thing in Spain, so I struggle to understand why I was forced to take It today. Women in tight jeans always have a phone in their back pocket. Do they have a delicate way if sitting? If I try to sit down with a phone in my back pocket, things would get very messy!
The solution is to just suck it up and be prepared for strange shit. I MUST BE ACTIVELY AVOIDING THE GETTING OLD AND GRUMPY THING. I have got the darn thing now (using it now) and it’s not the phone’s fault that I don’t like it and neither does Spain. I won’t take both phones to Madrid (if I go later in life year) but just one, I just don’t know which one at this moment- swings and roundabouts. Did I fall to mention that I am getting a BSA Gold Star when I get back to England? I am excited! i don’t have a reg number yet so I cannot find out how much my insurance premium will go up by, since it is a done deal, I will just smile while my ass is reamed out. Although I do not know for sure what will happen. My insurance was stuck up last year because they said that I failed to inform them of a car accident that was all my fault. “Err, you mean where my car was repaired at the other side’s expense and I was provided with a £15,000 nearly new VW hire car at the other sides expense? That one where I paid nothing and the other side paid for everything. That one? Could possibly, just possibly, your records be wrong?”
Why not just "jailbreak" your iPhone? That's what I did and it massively improved the functionality and customisation options that were otherwise locked out by the all conquering (though shall do as we tell you) Apple corporate monster, who prey on customers warning them that would invalidate their Draconion warranty terms. Saying that, I stopped using iPhones ten years go, as I hate being dictated by them as to what you can and can't do with their expensive "ornaments" and went over to Samsung. Never looked back and never want an iPhone again. Overpriced garbage.
Nope. Maybe they were overpriced ornaments (I don't think so) but they certainly aren't now. "Jail breaking" your iphone really isn't a thing anymore, more of a niche topic methinks.
Mr Tolerance has come to town. I will not forget why I impulsively bought the thing and just accept that things are different between Android and iPhone. Keep calm and carry on. if I do travel anywhere, then I will just take this iPhone. BE PATIENT
My iPhone 16 Pro Max was a beautiful object, a gorgeous thing. A marvel. It passed the travel test - when there is no laptop to use, and use is more critical on a single device - hotel bookings, maps, banking, emails, texts, whatsapp, pictures, videos, tickets, secure WiFi, cell coverage, battery power - all in one device, with no laptop to turn to. Aced it, and great to use. The current Samsung S26+ is just a machine. A competent, but soulless machine.
Cancel that! The phone just let me down BIG-TIME. Took some pictures whilst out and tried to post one. It would not let me. Iwas on Movistar 5g with five out of five bars for signal strength. After turning off and on, it would not connect so I tried changing provider to another one, even if it would cost me. Made no difference. What is more worrying, is that I was stopped from using the Lloyd's banking app. I have Wi-Fi here in my hotel and although I have not tried yet, it will probably be fine. So, Ieven though I don't know if it was the phone. I can't risk that. So If I do go to Madrid, later in the year. I will have to take two phones as I don't trust the iphone. That makes the slimness of it irelavant. In the UK, it has no chances left to redeem itself. If it fails me even once, I go back to a physical SIM and stick with Android. There's nothing about Apple IOS that has impressed me to want to continue the experiment.
I would say that I am going for a walk to cool off, but it's hot here! That's good And there isn't a cool, or cold, wind blowing in from the sea ⛵. Finally got there on the weather front (or lack of fronts) and now it's just nice!
Err, yes it is, You can run it untethered or semi-untethered, The phone reboots back into the stock iOS and you can then employ Dopamine or Unc0ver to re-trigger the jailbreak at will, and in doing so free up the choked restrictions and functionality they deny you by default. I ran mine untethered for 2 years with zero issues. It is not the product per say that irks me. It's the "Apple say Apple do" mentality of the company I hate. Like I said, I wouldn't touch one with a bargepole. Each to their own I guess.
I don't know - I am just done with the iPhone Air. I took the phone for a walk and NOTHING as it would not connect to anything. I then tried to call my other mobile that's at home in England. The phone might be switched off, so the call should go to voicemail. Nothing Nada, Zilch. I had a very strong signal here. That means that it's not worth taking the phone abroad again, waste of time. Next time, I will take an Android Samsung. I think that there is someway of checking voicemail remotely. I will look at It later. VERY UNIMPRESSED. It may be light and thin, but without Wifi that it can connect to, it's useless!
