Does the FBG app not take up the full screen on anyone else's iPhone 5s?

Is it just me ?

FBG app?

FBG app?

Do most of my reading on the app. I'm just not on my computer much any more. I do probably 90% of my stuff on my iphone.

ETA: Sorry, Wooderson, on a 4S, so cant help.

 

[Gianni Verscotchie]

A minor thing, but when you change the volume on a video, the volume box is white now instead of transparent. Really annoying when I'm in a situation where I'm having to actively manage the volume (eg, when the wife is asleep).

This always sucked. How can anyone at Apple not notice how intrusive the volume indicator is when watching a movie???

 

[Billy Bats]

You know if you tap the screen once the bars at top and bottom of the screen disappear, right? Why are yas watching videos with the bars constantly shown?

I really miss being able to search the web from spotlight. Didn't realiE how much I used that.

I have no idea what spotlight is

Not sure if you are responding to the volume thing, but that's not what we're talking about.

the fast picture thing (just hold your finger on the camera button for rapid pictures) is awesome for taking pics of the kids when they're doing stuff

Also awesome for when adults are doing "stuff"

FBG mobile from the App Store. Is there a new one?

well yeah. there was a draft app and a magazine app released this year. I think the magazine was for tablets only though.

it's not just you though. that app (FBG Mobile) was designed awhile back so probably hasn't been updated with the new screen sizes of the iphone 5+. I hadn't checked it out in awhile but went in now with my iphone 5 and verified that there is some black showing at the top and bottom of the screen.

Thanks. I guess I'll just start using Safari.

Not jumping in here to comment on an IPhone 5c or 5s but just jumping in to praise Apple's service.

Cracked my Iphone 5 screen in August went to check if it could be replaced because it had been less than a year. Wanted like $150 for a new screen so I decided to hold out and check with Verizon insurance and they wanted like $180. Got kind of busy and just neglected getting the phone fixed until today when I went into Apple. They replaced the whole Iphone for free. Ended with a new Iphone 5 which I am more than happy with.

Just assuming it was a case of a nice Apple "genius" combined with the fact they have a new iphone out and probably don't mind giving away an Iphone 5. Either way, I am pretty happy with Apple.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

didn't the 5c just get announced last week?

 

[Wooderson]

didn't the 5c just get announced last week?

Yeah I think he's a bit offing his story.

I think he meant the 4c he fashioned in his basement...

ive exchanged two phones at the genius bar with no issues in the past couple months. as long as there isnt water damage and you have warranty they swap it out

My apologies if this has been asked and answered but I'm using the Mint.com app and it's pretty cool but I can't figure out how to add my IRA and 401K info. Can anyone help with that? Post here or message me. Thanks in advance.

mint can choke on retirement accounts. It depends on where they are housed and how you have to authenticate to access them. Mint HATES 2 factor authentication which is all the rage.

It looks like the only way to add an account is if it matches up with one of the banks on its list. So if your bank isn't on the list it can't be added. Is that correct or am I missing something?

Trying to set up my new phone and it's continually saying my gmail password is wrong. I know it's right. Very frustrating.

FYI for anyone using 2-step verification on their gmail account. You will have to create an application specific password for your new phone. You probably needed to do that before but I forgot.

Anyone else having issued with chromecast on ios7?

It really blows that the visual voicemail screen is virtually identical to missed calls screen.

I'm going to agree with this...

 

[DocGonzo]

Anybody else having issues with YouTube links in safari?

Not having this exact trouble, but before the update I was really unhappy with how Safari ran. I started using the Mercury browser instead and I really like it. Might help with your problem if you don't mind trying out a new browswer. I will say that since the update Safari seems to run better on my phone and I'm now using them sort of 50/50.

Yeah, this has caused me a confusion a couple of times. Overall though I'm really happy with all of the changes to the OS.

Wal-Mart always taxes on the subsidized price. That's why I always wait until I can buy cell phones from them.

 

[Mr. Nasty]

Anyone receive their new 5s? If so, how is it? Currently have a 4s and wanted to hear from 'real people' before making the leap.

I also came from 4s. I love it, super fast and the fingerprint sensor is really nice.

Everyone I know who has it is very happy with the purchase.

Thank you for the response and I appreciate the info. What color did you go with?

I got the gold because I was going to sell it, but once it came I couldn't resist keeping it.

If I knew I was going to keep it I would have went with the space gray, but the gold is subdued and not blingy.

It's nicer than my 4s and the fingerprint sensor is great, but I'm not sure I would have been in a hurry to upgrade if my screen on the old one hadn't been broken.

iOS 7 question: is there any way to delete messages from the inbox view, rather than having to go into the message itself and delete it from that view ? You used to be able to swipe and delete from the inbox view, but that doesn't work anymore.

It depends on the provider. If I swipe left on an outlook email I can delete it. On a gmail, I can archive it or move it which takes a few steps.

Ah, it's a swipe left now instead of right. Thanks.

 

[Jobber]

We picked up a 5c for my son the other day. The last green one they had at the T-Mobile store. He's gonna be stoked.

 

[Abraham]

They are going to sell a zillion 5c at Christmas.

Surprised, the pages render FAR faster on the 5s than the 4s and pages rarely reload every time you switch browser tabs.

It's just such a smoother and faster experience than the 4s.

Can't speak about if it's worth it to go from 5 to 5s, but going from 4s to 5s is a huge upgrade IMO

It's an upgrade for sure, but there's no increase in functionality for what I'm using the phone for. My wife might upgrade at some point but isn't in a hurry.

I guess if you don't browse a lot on your phone it's not hugely different. I use my phone to browse a lot and it's a humongous difference for me.

 

[Abraham]

Yeah, I went from a 4 to a 5 a year ago and the speed difference is amazing. When I use my wife's 4s it feels positively slow.

 

[Brony]

Finally upgraded to iOS 7 and while it fixes some things (good bye VIP finally!), it still stinks on other. I'm really getting tired of iTunes too. It just sucks. For a product that used to be all about "it just works", I'm finding this less and less to be the case.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

The update fix any issues of consequence?

 

[Mjolnirs]

I hate pretty much everything about the new os.

Same here. It just looks too cartoonish and the color schemes are awful. I liked the darker backgrounds and color differentiation of areas on the screen.

I have not made the transfer yet. Not sure if I ever will. Maybe for my iPad.
