The Apple iPhone Thread (4 Viewers)

Thing has been just freezing today and/or not letting me even unlock. Or I get a text and I can't access it from the lock screen, and then when I hit the home or lock button, nothing. And then it just took a picture by itself as it lays on my desk.

You want get any real answers here. I'd suggest going of to the iphone-developers site. It is branched off of the xda developers forums. If you want fan boys telling you to get another device or insulting you then you are in the right place. The two or three people that do have discussions get drowned out by them so the thread is pretty much useless.

Have you done a reset - hold home & power? (Just making sure). If that doesn't work, try backing up, then do a restore. :thumbup:

Will a reset delete everything?It's still randomly freezing on me.

No. A restore will so for sure backup before doing anything.

I have seen two things that could be related to this. The first is make sure you kill Safari if your not using it. Second, I have seen a theory that touch gestures are causing some of the freezing issues. If your using these try going a day with out them and see if that solves the issue. This is believe to be related to the scrolling to fast killing touch input for a few seconds.
 
is there a way to get all of my iphone apps to "automatically download" on my new ipad so I dont have to download them again one by one?

Go to settings/iTunes and app storesUnder the "automatic downloads" turn on whichever one(s) you want to sync to all devices - mine has that option for music, apps, and books. There may be more for others, those are the only categories I've bought from apple.

Google maps now available!! :pickle:
Whoa, turn by turn directions. :thumbup:
Welcome to 2009 .... OMG OMG ... /Andoird FANBOY:P
I'm not sure what the differences are, but Google itself is saying that this app is better than what they have on Android right now.
I have no idea but its not turn by turn...
what isn't?new google maps app on iphone is turn by turn.

The differences between the Android and Apple versions is not turn by turn. They both have it :thumbup: I think the difference are Apple has 3D and Android has indoor mall directions
 
Searched for my sister's address, which is rather rural. Of Google Maps, Mapquest, and Apple Maps, only Apple had it correct. So their data apparently isn't always behind the others.

 
I've had the iPhone5 since launch and still haven't seen the Apple maps make a mistake. Even going through backwoods roads in hickville DE it was spot on. :shrug:

 
The funny part of this whole maps debacle is that at the end of the day, Apple got exactly what they wanted. They forced Google to release a fully functional Maps for iOS, eliminating a high profile competitive advantage that Android held over the iPhone. So yes, Apple took some lumps in the press over Apple Maps, but they came out of it in a much better competitive position moving forward.

Well played, Tim. :thumbup:

Wow...just when I thought your iHucksism could not get worse.Your claim now was they made AppleMaps bad in order to "force" Google to do this?

Really? I currently own iphone5 and ipad3, but my feelings towards apple have diminished with the epic map fail and the ipad4 secret launch. I mean had I known apple was going to product cycle like every other company, I would have waited. My next purchase will be more of a decision instead of getting hyped for the next apple iteration.

No, thats not what I said. The fact that Apple Maps was bad is irrelevant. The only reason Apple Maps existed at all was because Google refused to allow turn-by-turn and other functionality on iOS, giving Android a major advantage. Google Maps on iOS hadn't been upgraded IN FIVE YEARS, and in just three months Apple got Google to release a version that by most reviews is even better than the Android one.

And you credited it to Tim and Apple doing it...so yes...what I said...is what you were inferring.Your need to spin everything pro-Apple is nauseating.
 
This is so stupid. The whole world recognizes that Apple Maps is worse than Google Maps except Apple lovers on this forum. It doesn't mean that Apple maps is horrible, but it's just not as good. Here's a real world example I pulled from my iPhone this morning for a forest preserve near my house.

I don't think there's any doubt about that. But like I posted earlier, when searching for my sister's address, only Apple Maps had it. That doesn't make it better, but it does show that in some cases it actually as better data than Google. So I would think that in a matter of a few years they could be on par with Google.

Complete fanboys ruin it just as much.Hard to get real info when you have people like that who downplay every bad thing...and make even mistakes look pro-apple.

Again, no. Creating Apple Maps DID force Google into releasing a superior Google Maps for iOS. Apple's objective wasn't to take over the mobile mapping industry. Their objective was to get iOS mapping on equal footing with Android - to remove an Android advantage. Google had no incentive to allow this until Tim & Apple pulled Google Maps off and replaced it with their own. The fact that Apple Maps was bad is clearly irrelevant; it only had to be good enough to get Google to release an iOS version that's equal to Android.Which is exactly how it played out.
 
So you're saying that rather than negotiating with Google to get an update, they bought a mapping software company, rolled out their own version of a Maps app that they admitted was subpar, faced a PR crisis and fired the guy in charge of this implementation and this was a win?

I only applaud you on this shtick that deftly toes the border of obsessive fanboy and complete BS artist.

I don't think this was Apple's plan, but Goonsquad is right. Without the move, iPhone users are still stuck with the old Google Maps.

Nope, never said that. They most likely tried to negotiate and failed to reach an agreement. Speculation was that Google demanded too much access to iOS user data.

Their goal was not to make Google create a better program app for them.It was to have their own mapping feature work so they did not need to.

Anything else is your iHucksian spin to it.

It's just not a good App compared to other turn by turn. Also just because you have not had issues others have had very bad experiences with it. Then again the new Google version doesn't seem to want to avoid toll rolls on my route regardless of the settings I make.

He's fishing. Let him fish in an empty pond. We all know Apple did not want headlines like this "Apple Maps flaw could be deadly, warn Australian police". Let it go and ignore him.
