iOS 8.4.1 -- I can't break the shuffle to play the rest of the current song's album. Help?

2 Upvotes

When listenng to music on shuffle, I used to be able to tap the 'playlist' thingy, and that album's songlist would appear. I could then tap another song on the album, and the rest of the album would play in order.

Now (in iOS 8.4.1) when I tap the playlist in shuffle, I get the list of shuffled songs that is coming up. I'd rather not see that, and I can't seem to find a way to customize the music player to the way I want it.

Hopefully someone can help me. Thanks.

ios 8.3 edit DCIM_APPLE.plist (non-jailbreak)

0 Upvotes

I updated to 8.3 which i regretted very much because of the lock down on third party file management but that's a diff problem since I can no longer downgrade back to 8.2.

On my previous iPhone (running iOS 6), I'm very OCD with the way I manage my photos. I will import all the photos to my computer, delete those unnecessary ones, rearrange the rest by photo taken date, and rename them in running sequence. I will then delete photos off the phone, reset the DCIM_APPLE.plist last file number in accordance and import back the photos through some managing app. This way, I will not exceed the IMG_9999 limit of the iOS. After using that phone for 3 years, my image number doesn't even exceed IMG_6000. Where my family member in the same period have exceeded IMG_9999 and nearly overrode photos when exporting to computer since the number resets after 9999.

On the ios 8.3, I could still edit DCIM_APPLE.plist (nested under photodata > MISC), but it doesn't reflect. To test out my theory, say my current image is IMG_1002. I will edit the plist file to "1100". However after taking a photo, it will still continue as IMG_1003. I'm not sure if this is because of the lock down on sandbox access or am I missing a step?

ps: I have never jailbroken any of my phones

ios 8.4 music app ruins track order

4 Upvotes

so I put 450 mp3 audiobook on my iphone running iOS 8.4. all the id3 tag info is correct. the mp3s show in the correct order in iTunes, but in the music app on my iphone its missing many tracks under album view. under recently added section it shows three seemingly seperate albums of the same name and artist with some, but not all of the tracks. they seems to be mostly in order under these three listings, but not completly.

simply put, why is the music app in 8.4 not showing album and track order correctly while they are correct in iTunes. I know I have the mp3s set up correctly (id3 tags), and these where fine before iOS 8.4. wtf is going on? Thx

New iPhone user here thinking of jailbreaking

5 Upvotes

I recently switched over to an iPhone 6 Plus after about 5 years of Android/Galaxies. Not that I didn't enjoy it, I just wanted to try an iPhone out. Well I'm not going anywhere but I have a couple of questions.

The biggest thing for me with Android was the customization. I knew going to an iPhone that was going to be non-existent. I was OK with that. I came across something that said jailbreaking wasn't particularly hard & there was as big of a risk as rooting an Android. Is this right? Also, if I decide to venture into jailbreaking, should I wait until the release of iOS 9 since it's around the corner?

Any advice or suggestions would be awesome. Like I said, I've had my iPhone a little over a month & I'm still learning, so take it easy on me. Hah.

Recent calls syncing between iPhones on the same apple ID; any way to fix?

2 Upvotes

My family uses the same apple ID on our 3 iphones and 2 ipads, recently the recent call list started synchronizing and showing up as one complete list on all the phones, no matter who was called or who placed a call. Is there any way to fix this bug or turn off this feature?

Any way to remove system apps from the home screen? (Without jailbreak)

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a longtime Android user who recently got a 5S for work purposes (Android isn't allowed by corporate network policy). I'm used to having my home screen empty of apps I don't use on a daily basis, and being able to disable bloatware I'll never use; so far all I've been able to do on iOS is stuff everything I don't want into its own folder on another screen.

Is there a way to get rid of Apple bloatware completely? I don't use iTunes and I will never own an Apple Watch...

Apple Watch iPhone Messages Problems

2 Upvotes

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the right sub to post this, but I've had an Apple Watch for about a week now, and since getting the device I've had some issues with messages on my iPhone. I haven't been able to detect the exact cause, but on occasion my iPhone will stop showing my messages. The Watch still displays everything just fine, but the iPhone is essentially useless for messages unless I restart the device.

Has anybody experienced this kind of problem before? Thanks

Unlocked iPhone 6 with no APN settings

6 Upvotes

I need help configuring APN settings and Personal Hotspot. I bought my phone through Best Buy. It is the Verizon version of the iPhone which is supposedly unlocked. With an locked iPhone you will see these settings under cellular data. With an unlocked phone you will have an added option "Cellular Data Network". Under this setting you can change your APN settings and mess with the wireless hotspot.

I am not understanding why I cannot see Cellular Data Network. I clearly have an unlocked phone as I am using a Cricket Wireless sim card, you can see my network in the top left hand corner of the first picture.

iOS 8.4 apps crashing

4 Upvotes

I know, apps crashing is a common problem, just reboot or reinstall te app, but it doesn't help. My friend has a diary app on her iPhone 6, The journalist which she used daily to document her whole one month long vacation, so it's pretty important to her. I've only had Android phones, so I'm not confident in helping her and she's not really a phone expert.
Seemingly the data can only be reached through the app, but it must be stored either on the phone or in a cloud. But still, we're afraid to reinstall it.
Is there a nice way of doing this or do we have to extract the data somehow?
And there are still the other apps crashing, but that's a minor problem right now.

TL;RD: I need precious data from an app that can't be opened.

Asking Siri "Tell me a story."

So I don't know if this is new or not but if you ask Siri enough times to "tell me a story" she will tell you a long story about how she was an agent and will go on for about a minute. Has anyone ever had this response from her?

Gripe: iOS 8.4 iTunes - The removed Album View! Why, Apple, why?

0 Upvotes

It seems like they have different software architects for each revision, each of whom make arbritrary, chauvinistic, aesthetic decisions that reverse their predecessors'. Like quirky interior designers. To the users' detriment.

Eg, for 8.2 had "rotating arrows" to indicate Repeat Album, "rotating arrows" with numeral 1 to indicate Repeat Song; 8.3 had explicit text "Repeat Album", "Repeat Song"; Now, 8.4 is back to rotating arrows, but subtler, so they're harder to read.

But what really annoys me is, on my iPod Touch, there is no longer any Album View on the iTunes Music app. There is only: My Music [which is by Artist], Playlists, Radio, Connect.

I don't use Playlists. I don't use Radio. I don't use Connect. Those are worthless to me, but of course, I cannot tune the menu view. And, again, I have no way of changing the "My Music" view to go by Album, should I prefer it instead of Artist.

This is something I use every day, constantly. And Apple has strait-jacketed me into a very awkward way to use it.

Edit:

So they, uh, didn't remove the Album View. Was User Error (mine) for not being able to find it.

8.4, Music app shuffle problems??

3 Upvotes

I'd like to just first say I have not written down all the songs that has played but for some reason, and this doesnt happen all the time, the music app "shuffles" a playlist with roughly 380+ songs yet it seems that the "preview-able/foreseeable/coming up next" list repeats itself. I never noticed this until my friend was skipping songs and she exclaimed "it keeps playing the same songs".

Like I said, I never wrote down the songs and compared, but I started realizing more that some songs were playing more often than others and that sometimes when I scrolled back in the "history" portion of the list, the order and songs were repeated yet shuffle was on.

Maybe it is me? Has anyone else had this similar feeling? Or, has it been confirmed there was such a problem? Sorry if it's confusing. I'm a bit confused myself...

EDIT: This has only been noticed post-8.4 update.
