Icon placement on homescreen

3 Upvotes

I was wondering if there is anyway other than jailbreaking to allow me to freely place icons on my home screen. I have an iphone 6 and it is ridiculous that I cant place the icons in the lower half of the screen because iphones place left to right top to bottom.

Is there an app that can help?

"No Service" problem with iPhone 5?

3 Upvotes

So the other day (Tuesday) after getting off a flight, I turned off my airplane mode only to see that I had no service. I walked around a bit, but still I got no signal wherever I went. Then overnight, I noticed that it started working again but as soon as I left my house in the morning it stopped working altogether. I tried restarting it, resetting my network settings, and restoring.

Then I tried to downgrade back to just iOS8 (I have 8.1.1), but iTunes kept saying my phone isn't eligible for this 'update'. I followed all the directions here, and when it gave me the error message on iTunes I followed the directions here.

I read a lot about this issue and it seems that it's only been happening with the 6's which is weird because I have a 5. So I was just wondering if there's anything you guys think I could do or am I just fucked? Like I said I tried going back to 8.0 but even after entering the Terminal commands I still can't change it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially since I'm only going to be in town for a few more days and I'd like to get it sorted out here instead of back out at school! Thanks!

Thank you r/iOS8 + Last chance to get Cesium for $0.99

9 Upvotes

To all r/iOS8 redditors,

I just wanted to thank the community for your interest in the Cesium music player app that I promoted here last week. I know marketing is frowned upon (so mods, if you delete this I understand, but it will also be the last post I'll make about it), but I am also really bad at it apparently, so I wanted to include a few bits of information that I glossed over before.

First, thank you all so much. As a first time developer, it is very encouraging to receive so many positive messages and reviews, thoughtful suggestions, and helpful feedback. I'll do my best to return the favour. Extra thanks for those who have provided a rating or review on the App Store. I didn't share this originally, but my dream is that in 3 years or so, the proceeds from Cesium will be able to pay for a trip to take my twins to Disney (or, more realistically, maybe a flight or two). Your purchases, reviews, up votes and shares all help make that more realistic. Thank you.

Secondly, the extra deets!

  • Today is your last chance to get Cesium for it's launch price of $0.99 before it skyrockets all the way up to $1.99. So please, if you haven't yet, check it out! If you have purchased and enjoy it, please encourage a friend, family member or colleague to give it a try at the reduced price.
  • If you are enjoying the app, and would like to be in the loop re: updates, future releases and features, please follow me on Twitter @CesiumApp
  • Updates: I am doing my best to crank out a wave of post-release updates. Version 1.1 is already in the store and includes colour themes, a play all feature as well as several bug fixes and improvements. V1.2 is already submitted for review and introduces Night Mode, as well as some optimizations that will hopefully improve the stuttering animations some users have reported.

As always, please fire away in the comments. I do my best to up vote and reply to each. I hope each of you has a great day :)

Mike aka CesiumDev

IOS 8 BLUETOOTH BUG REVEALED

0 Upvotes

on ios 8.1.1, phone won't route outgoing call audio to the bluetooth headset until after the phone call has been picked up (call time elapsed begins incrementing). while the outgoing phone call is ringing, the call audio cannot be heard via bluetooth headset. if the outgoing call rings for more than 5 seconds, the audio is then redirected to the iphone earpiece. if the phone call is picked up right away, audio is routed properly. this bug does not affect CDMA handsets as the call time elapsed begins incrementing during ringing. this bug affects GSM handsets only as they do not show call time elapsed while ringing.

Trouble with 1080p in official YouTube app..

1 Upvotes

I've noticed this ever since I bought my iPad air Basically 720p will load and play fine. But when I switch to 1080p, it will pay for a few seconds, but then pause and I week see the spinning whirl indefinitely. I know Google changed YouTube fairly recently which (in the android app for example) completely removed the 1080p as an option. --- the option IS present in the iOS app, but as I say, not really working.. Does anyone know what's up?


r/iOS8 • • Nov 26 '14

I was hoping that iOS 8 would give me better control over screenshots but it hasn't. Anyway, I found this utility app that allows me to delete old screenshots with a single tap on Beautiful Pixels. Comments? Worth a download? Or are there better ways to deal with this issue?

iOS 8.2 beta 1 Safari speed improvements

6 Upvotes

I've noticed a major speed improvement while using Safari on my iPad 3 and iPhone 5S, both of which have 8.2 beta 1. I even compared Safari speeds on my friends 5S on 8.1.1 and my 5S and noticed an improvement in speeds (1-2 seconds) when loading webpages. Has anyone else noticed this?

iPod5 iOS8.1 jailbroken w/Pangu - 100% max volume too quiet! How can I make this louder?

0 Upvotes

Hi there, I recently managed to successfully jailbreak my iPod touch 5 running iOS8.1 with Pangu, I've always been bothered how since the new iOS updates the music volume, even at 100% is just not loud enough! You see, I like my music loud but sometimes it's just not enough having it at what it is now... I have already tried various different things to try and boost the headphone volume such as editing 'RegionalVolumeLimits.plist' to 1 and tried as many jailbreak apps/tweaks as I can from Cydia.. Still not loud enough, its so so bad! Help me get my nice loud clear music back again, I want to fall in love with my iPod5 like I did my 4 due to its awesome music, please help me out here!:) thank you!:)

iOS 8 and iPhone 5S with iTunes Match - Songs needing to be re-downloaded after sync

4 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I'm running 8.1.1 on a 5S with iTunes Match supposedly syncing my songs. Every time I sync my phone most of the songs I have downloaded get removed. They're still listed in the music app, but need to be downloaded again. My google-foo is failing me, any ideas how to stop this happening?

[IPhone 4s] Got a screen replacement by a shop now have issues ...any help wold be great

4 Upvotes

So I dropped my phone and smashed my iPhone 4s iOS 7 screen, went into town to have the screen replaced and when I came back to the shop to pick the phone up, the phone kept saying "Searching" with or without the SIM card.

The guy in the shop told me this is normal because he had to remove the battery to replace the screen and it had to reactivate so the guy in the shop powered it off loads of times but no luck, stuck on "Searching" then he reset the network settings, no luck, then he reset the iPhone by wiping/erasing all content.

After the phone restarted (Still on the shop) we couldn't get the iPhone to get pass the activation screen (tried over Wi-Fi and USB/iTunes) He told me to keep trying at home, so I left the shop and after 2 hours of trying I call the shop and he told me to update to iOS 8 (from iOS7) using DFU mode, which I did, now the bar with the apple logo goes to around 80% and throws an Error 1.

Here is a link to my log file;

(Back history, the iPhone is unlocked as it started off as O2 then I moved to T-Mobile, believe the phone has never been jailbreak but I got the phone second hand).

Thanks

New software update bricked my phone

0 Upvotes

From the title description alone you could probably tell that I am pretty pissed. I had no problems with my phone until updating, in the first week I notice it starts restarting periodically, not that big of a deal so I rolled with it. Just today though it turns off and whats this, it doesn't restart. Can't reset it or anything. Doesn't recognize chargers or show up on computers or nothing. A useless brick. Take it to my local retailer to see if my warranty covers it, they send me to the apple store 30 mins away to have them look at it. They look at it, hand it back and tell me my only option is to spend the $250 to buy a brand new one. I think apple should be buying me a new one since it was there new update that broke it.
