[The Dutch Slayer]

so used apple maps for the first time last weekend.
Was in the part of my home town that I was not that familiar with and used it to get home by car.

Worked perfectly ! :O to my amazement no screw ups and I even had 3 choices for a route to get home.

The only thing is that the English voice is terrible at pronouncing Dutch street names but that is understandable.
But the point to point voice stuff was awesome and worked 100%.

For about 20 min of drive time I lived in the future from my phone.

Anyone got any screenshots of improved Maps for Japan in 6.1.1? Curious to see all the changes.

my iphone decided to not connect to Wifi anymore and the button is now greyed out apparently this is happening a lot from IOS6 phones and this is the first time I have ever had this issue. I have tried resetting network settings, turning airplane mode off on on,resetting my home modem and now im trying to do a backup of my phone

I'd take it to the Apple Store. Could be a possible hardware failure.

 

[hEist]

So glad that I wasn't the only one experiencing this just recently.

somehow the jailbreak helped me. After jailbreaking it runs better here for me.

Is there any reason an iCloud backup on a 16GB model should take 8 hours over a good wifi connection? It has been awhile since the last backup, but good grief.

No. If you're sure your connection is good, clear/close all the apps and reboot. Try it again see if there's any improvement.

Might want to check what the next backup size is (Settings -> iCloud -> Storage and Backup -> Manage Storage -> Tap your phone).

Still having map problems? My brother noticed that Maps managed to reverse all of North Carolina...

 

[Particle Physicist]

Looks fine on mine:

Strange haha


EDIT

Uh, I just noticed the compass on your picture in the top right. Looks like your brother rotated the map and is pulling your leg.

 

[sc0la]

Red is north on the compas. That person rotated the map

Edit: beaten

 

[numble]

Red means north on the compass. He must have turned the map orientation. Press the compass to get back to a normal orientation.

 

[CrankyJay]

True...lol

How come my iphone4 doesn't show the compass on the map?

 

[LyleLanley]

True...lol

How come my iphone4 doesn't show the compass on the map?

Doesn't it only show the compass if you turn the map?

 

[CrankyJay]

Doesn't it only show the compass if you turn the map?

/sigh

yes...I don't even know how to use maps...

Just did it. My brother is an idiot, or was trying to fool people.

Looks like Mailbox has sped up invites. Down about 30,000 over the last day.

Can neogaf tell me what problem\s are currently with the IPhone 5 using it for work purposes like email account is on a Microsoft Exchange Server.

We getting them for some staff just want to be aware of the problems..

As I am not an Iphone user myself.

Nothing really I can think of. We have three companies with Exchange Servers and various employees with iPhones with no real issues. Even Office 365 has been seamless. Primarily just email though.

 

[Maninthemirror]

Thats not how a search engine is supposed to work

And that result doesnt work properly. It goes to the right location but labels it amco parking services

Its pretty weird because autocomplete actually has will rogers airport listed.

 

[hirokazu]

Apple is not good at search.

What happens if you just type airport?

 

[Maninthemirror]

Anywhere but that airport in the middle of the screen

Exchange emails work fine, but there's a bug in iOS 6.1 that drains resources when accepting meeting invites or anything that interacts with your Calendar.

"Devices using the latest Apple IOS 6.1 are consuming a large quantity of Exchange resources when a user responds to a meeting invitation or update from the IOS 6.1 device .The IOS 6.1 device continually retries a response command, which impacts the overall company email system as it consumes Exchange resources."

It doesn't break functionality but it could strain your corporate network a bit I guess.

No fix from Apple about this yet, iOS 6.0 works fine and if necessary you can turn off Calendar hookups in the iPhone's Exchange settings for your account while its an issue (you can receive invites etc but they don't copy to the iOS Caldendar app).

 

[MasLegio]

6.1.1 is now released and mainly targeted towards iPhone 4S fixing reliability and efficiency issues

Mainly targeted, or ONLY targeted?

 

[Number45]

Mainly targeted, or ONLY targeted?

On mine it says "This update fixes an issue that could impact mobile performance and reliability for iPhone 4S", so I'm assuming it's only the 4S at the moment. Not that I can get it to actually install on mine.

 

[Tunesmith]

Mainly targeted, or ONLY targeted?

Only. This was a bug fix for some carriers so that their 4G networks could be used properly.

This is not the same 6.1.1 that was seeded to developers last week however, that one will probably now become 6.1.2.

 

[Number45]

Didn't seem to install for me (just kept telling me it had downloaded and giving me the option to install), so I rebooted the phone and it installed then. Weird, definitely didn't tell/ask me to restart.

Thanks Tunesmith, I will keep a eye for this issue when we setting them up as we haven't received them yet. Fingers cross there fix the issue before we get them with IOS 6.2....

 

[Espresso]

I wasn't sure if 6.1.1 was intended for Vodafone subscribers only or what, but I still went ahead and installed it. The evasi0n jailbreak works for this particular firmware by the way.

Word is Microsoft and Apple are working on a quick fix for this so it wouldn't surprise me if we get another unannounced super-quick 6.1.2 out just for it like we had for the 4G problem fix in 6.1.1 (which was for all 4S devices, regardless of carrier).

PhoneClean 2.0 reclaims storage space on your iOS device (Cnet)

The website

Just another warning for this program, using it and removing certain cache file can screw up the iTunes database files if you're syncing with it. iTunes will think it's a new device that you'll have to restore to start syncing again.

There's an adhoc work-around though, deleting the following database files via iFunbox/iExplorer:

Go to: /var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control

Now within the above directory you will find two more directories

Music
Under Music, delete the following directory - .itunes_db_checked

iTunes
Under iTunes, delete the following two files - iTunesDB and iTunesCDB (only one might be present.

Reboot the device and iTunes should pick it up as if nothing ever happened again.

 

[McSpidey]

I'm probably really LTTP on this but I just noticed in safari if you touch and hold the tab "+" icon it brings up the recently closed tabs list. I've accidentally closed tabs so many times and wished this existed...

Someone halp, please.

I have gmail set up via an exchange server for the Mail app...it used to work fantastic up until last week.

Symptoms include:

1. badges not clearing even after I read the emails online...I could swear these used to sync between using the web client and the phone
2. emails don't reach my phone until minutes after they arrive in the mail client

Is there a problem with google's servers lately? Should I re-set up my mail app?

Pretty sure Google have dropped exchange support recently.

You've been Scroogled!

Should have seen that coming once the official Gmail app was released.

 

[Particle Physicist]

Screws up the way I have my calendars synced as well.

Any idea if this fucks with the mailbox app? Once they add exchange support I guess this wont matter to me.

Actually, Exchange ActiveSync will work as long as it was setup prior to January 30th.

So no new users, but old users are fine?

 

[LCfiner]

only until they get a new device, then the exchange sync will stop working.

 

[Particle Physicist]

So if I upgrade my phone to an iPhone 5 or a newer one, I'm screwed?



yay google.

Presuming you're talking about Google Calendar, use the CalDAV method instead. Works perfectly.

[Noema]

Yeah, this has been known for a while. Google simple doesn't want to pay MS for ActiveSync support anymore.

No choice but going back to IMAP, CardDAV and CalDAV folks. It used to be pretty horrible a few years back, but it might have improved since then. We'll see.

 

[giga]

Use Mailbox if you want push notifications. The notifications won't clear until you open up the app though, if that's an issue. (iOS limitation for third party apps)

Use CarDAV and CalDAV for calendar syncing, though I've switched to iCloud for that.
