Why can't I send texts or iMessages to DD. I can to everyone else ;(

Just get a new phone then and stop fucking moaning Hmm

This is why I like Android! I didn't like the Android keyboard, so I downloaded an alternative one; also wasn't too impressed with the texting functions, so I don't use it, I downloaded another text app instead.
Having got used to the customisable nature of Android, I don't think I could ever make the switch to Apple now.

What is it about Apple phones that makes people keep buying them? There must be something about them that some people prefer over Android. What is it?

A HA! For those who think the quick search or spotlight whatever is gone then think again..unlock screen then hold and drag down and search bar will appear.Grin
Accidentally found after a few beers

Sthelen I knew it was still there but it no longer searches the internet. Stupidest update so far IMO.

EhricLovesTeamQhuay · 20/09/2013 22:32

How do you block numbers?

GeeTeeEff · 20/09/2013 22:38

GeeTeeEff · 20/09/2013 22:39

Sorry. Settings, phone, blocked.

Too much wine.

EhricLovesTeamQhuay · 20/09/2013 22:42

Thanks that's handy.

DD downloaded it on her phone yesterday. She likes it I think, though she was having to figure it all out last night.

My phone says I don't have enough memory so I need to do some deleting first. Not done the iPads yet either.

Mind you - got a new laptop this week and spending time figuring it out Windows 8 so maybe that's enough for one week!

Snatchoo · 20/09/2013 23:39

Those of you that don't have enough memory - download it in iTunes then you don't need to delete anything from your phone.

It's grown a lot on me. I can't seem to find many of the new things so I need to find an idiots guide I think!

Snatchoo · 20/09/2013 23:43

This review on The Telegraph is pretty good.

What's the deal with Siri? Mine sounds like shit.

NoComet · 21/09/2013 00:50

Seems to making polyvore throw a tantrum.
DDs been on there all night I'll be in trouble for not admiring her latest creations.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 21/09/2013 07:44

This thread is mad. It looks different but essentially does the same things. If you were happy with the way your iPhone worked before then there's no reason why you shouldn't be happy with it now.

My apps are working fine, including the ebay app, Siri sounds just the same, it all just has a few more neater features.

Glittertwins · 21/09/2013 07:48

Most of it I have no problem, but what is this new Safari all about? I kept getting logged out of websites, even when reading threads! This didn't happen before and I can't find where to stop it from happening. I've been all over the settings and searched online but nobody else seems to have this problem

Yonionekanobe · 21/09/2013 07:59

Argh! Half way through update!! How do I stop it?

SoupDragon · 21/09/2013 08:04

When I message via is message it says I'm sending from email, why is that n how can change it

Try Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive -> "You can be reached at" -> uncheck the email addresses.

Mine only sends via my mobile no.

barabara- could that be because it was downloading updates to your apps all night? They can now download automatically without you having to OK it.

KatoPotato · 21/09/2013 10:04

Siri does sounds wonky...

NoComet · 21/09/2013 10:16

I'm just wondering if my phone will ever let me up date my aps, I've turned auto off.

I'm suspecting apple's end is realy busy, I don't believe the all up to date message.

This kindle fire updates it's self and I hate it. Things change without warning.
