I accept the risk...IPhone help please...

Left Seater · Post by **Left Seater** » Mon Jan 13, 2014 9:26 pm

So I have an IPhone issue that the idiots at Apple stores and both Verizon and AT&T haven't been able to fix. If any of you techies can help It would be appreciated.

Over the last 6 weeks or so I have been losing contacts from my IPhone 4. It only seems to happen when I am traveling and my phone shows extended network. The contacts that vanish are the ones that I text or call. Incoming calls don't seem to replicate the disappeance.

Once I text someone from an extended network area the contact is lost and only the number will show. Same for an outbound call. I then have to re-enter the person's name, address, email, etc. It is a huge pain.

One of my employees has experienced the same issue. He also has the iPhone 4. I am on the Verizon Network and he is on AT&T. My wife who has the iPhone 5 and has been in extended network areas with me does not have this problem.

The apple store quacks said it isn't possible for that to happen. Yet it is, but since most apple stores are in larger metro areas I am never in an extended network when it happens. Both Verizon and AT&T have offered to replace the phones for no cost, but since it is happening across providers I don't see how that will solve the issue.

I have looked at a few tech forums, but most of them don't have anything about this and others are above level of tech understanding.

Any of you tech nuts know a solution?

First, back up your contacts.

Then, throw the POS in the river and never buy another inferior Crapple product again.

Problem solved.

Oh come on, Dins...

You're expecting Seater to ditch his phone and then try and go out and find one that matches his shoes and purse?

What a bunch of dorks. One phone does phone stuff, other phones do phone stuff. Some phones do certain phone stuff slightly better or worse than other phones. Louis CK said it best.

The ones that vanish consider you a pompous blowhard. Your iPhone knows this, and deletes them as a courtesy to those people. That's why they call it a smart phone.

A little more "IPhone" help - it's iPhone.

Contacts are backed up. Restoring isn't the issue.

I don't give a crap about Apple vs Windows or Android etc. A phone isn't a statement for me, rather it is mostly a business tool. I changed to the IPhone and IPad a few years ago due to the apps available that help me do my job. Initially the apple devices were far better with things to help a pilot fly a plane. Most commercial airlines today are issuing IPads to their pilots. Same for my company.

The IPhone sucks at calls and when you have to type. I still prefer the Blackberry for such tasks, but it didn't have the charts and calculations apps that Apple did.

Goober, you can take your "help" up with Apple. I typed that word in all lowercase letters and the IPad autocorrected it to have the first two letters capitalized.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Wed Jan 15, 2014 3:52 am

What is it with tards always blaming auto-correct? If you're so bad at getting over on words, just go into the settings and turn it off. Then you can type stuff precisely the way you want it to display. It's like dumping that cunty ex-girlfriend who would never shut up. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

I bought an iPhone a couple weeks ago. My first smart phone. I took it back 2 days later. I only text and call and have no desire to carry the internet or email with me. I love my old Octane and don't know what I'll do when it dies.

I had little interest, until my beloved Sanyo slimline died, and a friend gave me an HTC Incredible.

I don't use internet/data often, but it's sure freaking wonderful on the rare occasions I do. When I was always working out of town, it was a huge asset for finding stuff.

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Wed Jan 15, 2014 5:44 pm

I usually just look at a map before I go, and call it good. But if I'm in an unfamiliar city working, and need some oddball parts/supplies, there's possibly a few hours difference with the smart-phone-for-dummies.

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Wed Jan 15, 2014 5:46 pm

Also, if I'm in an unfamiliar city or even neighborhood, with a couple of buttons I can find the nearest bar. People seem impressed that I have an app for that... b b b but why wouldn't I?

Shlomart Ben Yisrael · Wed Jan 15, 2014 7:35 pm

Trev, the whole point of a smartphone is that you can do more than just calling and texting. Seems you would have established your criteria with the sales person before actually buying the thing. Do you also drive off the lot in an SUV when all you really wanted was a car?

Give her some slack, Mgo. Personal responsibility is a GOP trait that only applies to other people.

Everyone else seemed to have one, I needed to see what all the hoopla was about. I was excited until I actually used it for a few days.

I've had the same car for almost 10 years also.

The size, the monthly fee, carrying email with me wherever I went, learning to operate the device.

In phones, I'd have to say yes, size does matter.

But, I know what you are eluding to and I would not know if size matters because I've been quite happy with one
size my entire life.

I don't punch a clock. I also don't take my work home, for the most part. Lucky me.

Why don't you have any testicles? No surprise you inadvertently flaunt your wealth, you compensate for your small penis, just like Dan Snyder.

Left Seater · Post by **Left Seater** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 4:04 am

The fry guy at McDonalds doesn't take his work home with him either. Neither does the guy cleaning up the construction site. Lucky them. But no matter the profession or line of work at some level you have to take work home with you. The fry guy when he becomes the store manager and the jizz Mopper calls in sick, the construction gopher when he is the lead carpenter and the wood delivery is delayed by 2 days.

We will keep hoping you reach that level some day.

Further, there isn't anything wrong with working hard and having a comfortable life. No one forces you to click on the PETs I post.

If you don't want/have to check your email, you can just like, you know, not check it. Merely having the access isn't a burden.

Let me clarify, dick. I do have access to email on my phone. I access through the mobile sites. I don't have push email. I get hundreds of emails per day. I don't exactly want my phone notifying me when each one arrives.

No shit. I disabled notifications on my droid right after I got it. Now I manually check for email on my phone. Seriously, if there was one ounce of intellectual curiosity in the average American the world would be so much better.
