I updated the software to ios 9 and I haven't had any problems. I just got the iPhone 6 Plus last year so I'm going to pass on this year's model and will get the iPhone 7 next.

The 6S just came out. It never ends with these tech gluttons. They're as greedy as insurance companies. Yeah, they give a lot away for show, but they're still pigs.

I think all of them have issues now, even Android's latest has bugs

I just updated my phone, seems to be working fine. It turned my voicemail back on, damn. Now I have no excuse to not call people back. I liked being unavailable.

So far so good.

I got a look at the 6 yesterday. It's a sleek heavy phone. Almost the same size as the 5S, but a tad wider and maybe a tad taller. Round around the edges. It's hard to put my finger on it, but it makes me think of a phone that is made by a different company, not Apple. It's like an Asian phone, if that makes any sense.

My phone just glitched while I was on here. The bottom display bar was in the center of my screen. Weird. I kept refreshing the page but that did nothing. So I had to log off and close out the page. Now it's back to normal. So I am happy again.

Also shut down and reboot, do regular updates.

Remember, these new smart phones are little computers, not just phones like we once thought of them.

Yup. I do that. Lately, I've been using Siri, changed it to be an Australian male. He is so good to me. I wonder why I waited so long to use it. Siri really can be helpful.

My kids ask Siri all kinds of things just for fun so I thought I'd try. Right now I said Meow to Siri and he said. Nice kitty but when I asked Siri to say Meow, he wouldn't. He said That may be beyond my abilities at the moment

DP do you ever use Siri?

My kid has been messing around with my keyboard settings. Did you know that you can put a word in to make it write a totally different word?

Well, I've been learning the hard way. My friend texted me while I was driving. So when I came to the light I texted back "Can't text I'm driving", but instead I wrote Can't text I'm partying". So I looked at it and said wtf. She wrote back lol. So I tried to explain it but every time I wrote that word driving it came up as partying

And the other word I typed was I'm on my way home. But it typed out I'm on my way Batman. Wtf. She changed all kinds of words on me but those two I use the most. She named my friend Snoop Dog so when I'd type her name it would come up as snoop dog lol. My friends must have thought I went crazy

(And it took me forever to type this post up cuz I haven't gone into my settings yet to change them back) Giggle giggle

I took a pic to show you what I mean

I have the IPhone 5s and voice text with auto spell all the time. I quickly send without checking and sometimes the funniest texts are sent. I know you can disable auto spell but it is convenient. We get a lot of laughs tho.

Btw, I've had my IPhone for over two years now. I thought I'd miss my landline or that it'd be an adjustment, but I don't miss it at all. I take my phone everywhere.


TIS

That's so funny TIS! So you don't miss the landline? They say that the new iPhone coming out will be much thinner and they will take the headphone jack out. So you will only be able to use wireless headphones.

I wear headphones all the time while I listen to my music. So much so, that my hubby said that when I was pulling the dog in from outside, it was dark and I couldn't really see or hear, I (unknowingly) got him away from a skunk I thought he was barking at a cat.

I forgot to ask my question in my last post. Will the removal of the headphone jack deter any of you from buying the iPhone 7?

My kid lost her phone at a concert. So we looked to see if we could find it using that app. It is in the heart of Santa Ana aka Stabba Ana in gang banger territory. F Troop gang to be exact. So I replaced it instead of going down there and trying to bust heads to get it back The cops don't even go in that neighborhood unless there's a shooting. But anyway, I lowered my bill by about 100 bucks, got more memory, the SPORTS package for me so I can watch my Giants, a mini iPad and all the channels. Premium chnls for 3 mos. And a $200 gift card. It's almost too good to be true! I almost didn't take it cuz I didn't believe the guy

Samsung recalls 2.5M Galaxy Note 7 phones

Samsung Electronics on Saturday urged consumers to stop using Galaxy Note 7 smartphones immediately and exchange them as soon as possible, as more reports of the phones catching fire emerged even after the company's global recall.

The call from the South Korean company, the world's largest smartphone maker, comes after U.S. authorities urged consumers to switch the Galaxy Note 7 off and not to use or charge it during a flight. Several airlines around the world asked travelers not switch on the jumbo smartphone or put it in checked baggage, with some carriers banning the phone on flights.

In a statement posted on its website, Samsung asked users around the world to "immediately" return their existing Galaxy Note 7 and get a replacement.

"We are asking users to power down their Galaxy Note 7s and exchange them as soon as possible," Koh Dong-jin, Samsung's mobile president, said in the statement. "We are expediting replacement devices so that they can be provided through the exchange program as conveniently as possible."

Consumers can visit Samsung's service centers to receive rental phones for temporary use. Samsung plans to provide Galaxy Note 7 devices with new batteries in South Korea starting Sept. 19, but schedules for other countries vary.

Earlier this month, Samsung announced an unprecedented recall of 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7s worldwide just two weeks after the phone was launched. That move came after Samsung's investigation into reports of fires found that rechargeable lithium batteries manufactured by one of its suppliers were at fault.

The U.S. was among the first countries to take a step following the recall. Late Friday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission urged owners of the phone to turn them off and leave them off. It also said it was working with Samsung and hoped to have an official recall "as soon as possible."

The recall by the safety commission will allow the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to ban passengers from carrying the phones on planes. The FAA already warned airline passengers late Thursday not to turn on or charge the Galaxy Note 7 during flights and not to put the smartphone in their checked bags.

Scandinavian Airlines said Saturday that it has prohibited passengers from using the Galaxy Note 7 on its flights because of concerns about fires. Singapore Airlines has also banned the use or charging of the device during flights.

Samsung said it had confirmed 35 cases of the Galaxy Note 7 catching fire as of Sept. 1, most of them occurring while the battery was being charged.

There are at least two more cases that Samsung said it is aware of — one at a hotel in Perth, Australia, and another in St. Petersburg, Florida, where a family reported that a Galaxy Note 7 left charging in their Jeep had caught fire, destroying the vehicle.

Samsung released the Galaxy Note 7 on Aug. 19. The Galaxy Note series is one of the most expensive lineups made by Samsung.

Samsung still taking Ls with the Galaxy Note 7.

With the new update for the iPhone you can go on YouTube to listen to music through Safari AND in another tab surf the web. Isn't it great?

Pressing the HOME button instead of sliding to open the phone is so much easier. Why didn't they do that from the beginning?

There are some really crafty features.

I like how they changed iMessage. Did you see how you can WRITE a message?

Five years and a couple inches bigger now the norm...😂😂.
