    Apple should offer an oleophobic service for iPhones

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 05:35 PM PST

    I just picked up my iPhone X last week after having the 6S+ for a couple of years and I forgot how nice it is having a smooth screen that doesn't get smudged when you look at it. Is it not possible to quickly reapply the coating, or is there another reason Apple doesn't offer this?

    Keep Going Back to Stock Apps

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 07:24 AM PST

    I've been using iPhones since they first came to Canada. Now more than ever, the App Store is filled with great apps from great developers. But my two most frequently used productivity apps have always been Mail and Calendar.

    I can't count how many mail apps I've gone through. Spark, Airmail, Polymail, Edison just to name a few. For calendars, I've tried Fantastical and Tiny Calendar. I've also tried combo apps like Outlook.

    Somehow, I keep coming back to the stock apps. When it comes to Mail, it's the stability and background stuff that only the native app can provide and it's the only one I've found to give me a stable enterprise/Exchange experience. With Calendars it's the locations. Other calendar apps just simply don't auto recommend the address/place as well as the native app does.

    I'm open to trying other apps. Anyone have any other recommendations to replace the stock Mail and Calendar apps?

    Help! My alarm won’t work. (iPhone 6s Plus)

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 06:45 AM PST

    I've tried everything. It's becoming really annoying.

    For the record: Yes, my sound is on. Yes, my volume is up. Yes, the alarms themselves work when you get a preview when you choose an alarm in the settings. Yes, I've tried resetting the app. Yes, my phone is up to date. (I think it's 11.2.5?) Yes, I've tried resetting my settings.

    And, finally, I tried restoring my phone last night. Still won't work. Anyone have any ideas?

    iPhone disappeared during USPS shipping, what can I do?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 07:54 AM PST

    I recently sold my used iPhone on Swappa. Before shipping it I wiped the phone, removed my SIM, packed it up, and sent it USPS priority with signature confirmation. Despite this, the phone was never scanned once I dropped it off in the USPS secure drop off bin and the package has never been seen since. USPS has no idea where it is and won't let me file a claim since it was never scanned.

    My question is: Given that I have the phone's ESN (and maybe IMEI), what can I do? Obviously there's no "find my iPhone" tracking since I wiped it, but is there any way to find out whether the phone was stolen and somebody is using it, or if it's simply lost?

    Will reporting it stolen do anything aside from me having the satisfaction of knowing that a thief is not using it?

    If I report it as stolen and the buyer gets it 2 months from now, will the buyer be able to use the phone? Can I even report it as stolen given that I don't technically own it anymore now that the buyer and I exchanged money and I transferred ownership to her?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Why is my iphone X rear camera focus bumping around when I try to re-focus?

    I posted the $5 Silicone Case rip-off few days ago. This is the costlier $10 case and it feels a lot nicer!

    Running List of iPhone X Tips & Tricks

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 08:38 AM PST

    Decided to start a running list for this subreddit for all new and existing owners

    • Swipe down from the upper right "ear" of status bar to invoke Control Center (there is a line on the lockscreen below the battery, cellular signal and Wifi icons of some versions of iOS 11 to indicate the relocation of the control center)

    • Swipe down from the notch or upper left "ear" of the status bar to invoke Notification Center

    • Double click the side button (formally known as the sleep/wake button) to invoke Wallet or authorize purchases when prompted

    • Screenshot: Volume up button + side button (formally sleep/wake button), tapping and holding on the thumbnail activates the share sheet and swiping left will instantly save that screenshot

    • Volume up (release), then volume down (release), then holding side button give you "Slide to power down". (Continue holding side button until Apple logo appears for force restart)

    • Settings, general, accessibility to enable Reachability. Swiping down on the home indicator will enable this. Swipe up or tap in blank area to cancel. You may also invoke Notification Center and Control Center easier this way

    • Swipe left or right on the home indicator anywhere except the lockscreen to switch from app-to-app

    • Some people find that swiping up and then right (in an arc) invokes multitasking faster. Takes some getting use to but it is a decent tip. Swiping up with a pause on your screen then releasing also invokes multitasking.

    • To force kill apps in multitasking you must tap and hold on an app card until the red minus icon shows up to swipe up (recommended to only do this if an app isn't acting as it should however your preference)

    • Force 3D touching on the flashlight or camera icons on the lockscreen activates these features, swiping up on the home indicator takes you back to the home screen from the quick camera

    • Raise to wake your screen and so does single tapping on your screen

    • Settings → Camera → Record video allows you to take advantage of different recording formats. (4K at 60 fps is the sharpest however the most heavy in size)

    • Settings → Camera → Format allows you to take advantage of the new HEIF/HEVC format of your photos

    • keep True Tone enabled as well as auto brightness and night shift to activate at sunrise/sunset

    • Enter your passcode everytime FaceID "fails". It registers the failed attempt.

    • Settings → Control Center → Customize Controls allows you to add more controls to the Control Center such as Screen Recording

    • Turn off Attention Awareness: To unlock your iPhone X with your eyes closed or without having to stare at it directly, go to Settings → Face ID & Passcode and slide the toggle Require Attention for Face ID to the OFF position. Pro tip: this will also increase your Face ID success rate.

    • Control which apps use Face ID: Go to Settings → Face ID & Passcode → Other Apps to see the list of apps installed on your iPhone X which have asked for permission to use Face ID, then enable or disable individual apps.

    • Show battery percentage: Due to the notch, there's no room to permanently display the battery percentage indicator in the status bar of your iPhone X. However, you can get a numerical readout of the remaining battery power when you connect the phone to power, enter Control Center or ask Siri how much battery you have remaining.

    • All 3D touch features on the iPhone X

    Battery Life Tips

    • Darker wallpapers on lockscreen and homescreen can preserve some battery

    • Even with auto-brightness enabled it is best to adjust your brightness accordingly in the control center

    • Smart invert can be found in Settings → General → Accessibility for a pseudo Dark Mode

    • A combination of Apple's USB-C to Lightening Cable and Apple's 29W, 61W or 87W USB-C charger enables fast charging

    • Pro tip: save at least $74 and use your iPad charger instead.

    • Here is a great list of Qi Wireless Chargers for the iPhone under $30

    • YOU CANNOT USE A COMBINATION OF A WIRELESS CHARGER AND USB CHARGER TO CHARGE FASTER

    Gmail push notifications with Mail app

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 08:04 AM PST

    Hi guys,

    I have a new iPhone X running the latest version of iOS. I'm having an issue with Gmail notifications.

    I'm currently using the default Mail application, but I've noticed that I'm not getting real-time notifications for new emails on my Gmail account.

    I have enabled "Push" (Settings>Accounts & Passwords>Fetch New Data) and have selected "Automatically" under "Fetch," but I don't see a "Push" option for my Gmail account, only "Fetch." Whereas my iCloud mail account has options for both "Push" and "Fetch."

    Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks!

    Why does brightness always change on iPhone SE?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 09:12 AM PST

    Hello. I've been having the problem where the brightness on my iPhone increases after I bring the bar thing all the way down.

    The brightness also changes when I don't touch the brightness bar.

    I also want to go back to IOS 9

    And how can I stop the update notifications?

    Thank you!

    Podcast Apps and Bluetooth Headphones

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 09:09 AM PST

    Apologies if this has been asked before (I've searched and I'm not readily seeing an answer)...

    Are there any bluetooth headphones that allow you to use Skip Back/Skip Ahead functions within a podcast? Not skipping entire tracks, but jumping ahead and back, say, 15, 30, 45 sec, etc.

    I use Overcast, and I'm able to jump around within a track using the wired earpods, but not with either of my two bluetooth headphones (Anker and Taotronics).

    Is it app specific? Does bluetooth just not allow this in general, perhaps because of the wireless lag?

    Thanks for your help.

    Cool non-cringe ringtones?

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 08:44 AM PST

    I need a new ringtone. Something chill that isn't crazy or cringy. It should be tolerable without getting a cringe attack on the bus.

    I can’t download new apps

    Posted: 31 Jan 2018 08:20 AM PST

    Every time I try to download a new app and then enter my password the thinking circle comes up and then it asks for my password again over and over again.

    This doesn't allow me to download any new apps.

    Anybody have any idea why my iPhone is doing this or any solutions?

    Apple News CNN Notification About Hawaii Missile Repeating

    Posted: 30 Jan 2018 02:14 PM PST

    Anyone else experiencing this? I'm on iPhone X and iOS 11.2.5. I keep getting an alert and top down notification about the Hawaii missile story over and over from the News app. I've closed the app but still I get notifications. Driving me crazy.

    Edit: how coincidental that news about an accidental notification went out causing accidental notifications.
