Headset extension

is there such a thing as an extension, because the case doesn't let the headset sit in properly so I don't get sound. or should i try to expand the hole around it (without ruining the case - suggestions - it is a pliable material.

Yes. This is an old problem, and there are adaptors and extension cables available. I don't remember where. Google, Bing, or Yahoo!

If it doesn't say "what" it's three times faster than then it is very basic marketing hype.

Three times faster than the fastest possible connection on any network anywhere or three times faster than some guy in the middle of nowhere who only gets a signal when standing on the roof of his car and extending the phone as high as possible.

I don't know what device you were using when you typed your response Sanjaya but if it was an iDevice with auto correct on, did you notice auto correct wants to correct every love to live?

iPhone 4S Cache Clearing

Posted by: "Mike" michaelkchurch@gmail.com   indianamikey

Fri Mar 16, 2012 8:26 am (PDT)



I just noticed on my new 4S that you can no longer clear the cache like you could on the 4. Is this a good or not so good thing. I used to do this from time to time on the 4 and it seemed to help it respond better.

I've never heard of clearing the cache on an iPhone. How is it done?

I know my iPhone 3GS is getting long in the tooth, and it has recently begun to hang. I'm using iOS 5.1, but this started before that.

I read a similar article at Gizmodo the day before. So Whitson reads Casey. Casey had some doubt about the wisdom of changing to a minimal plan. He called his doubt future-proofing. That is the exact argument that I had with myself when they made the change, and the one that I review every month, because I stayed with the grandfathered "unlimited plan".

http://gizmodo.com/5893743/do-you-really-need-an-unlimited-data-plan-spoiler-no

With the new streaming services, cloud back-ups, and social networking (which I use the bare minimum of, but some of my real friends use a ton of) keep driving up the amount of data I use.

I used to travel for work, and sometimes watched movies on my iPhone. My meager data usage at that time was between 1.7 and just under 3 GB. Right in the sweet spot for throttling, but before they began throttling. So I opted to keep the plan. Right now I don't travel for work and my usage is between 80 and 300 MB. The problem is I know that a single day of driving using the iPhone for directions can rack up 200 MB just to put the maps behind the location indicator. I'm looking for a job where I travel again.

If there were a reasonable "pay for what you use" or a roll-over plan for data, I would drop to a lower plan in a heart beat, but there isn't. But the pricing structure is currently "pay us to much each month or change a ridiculously huge overage usage charge" plan. Commonly known as price gouging or "hose the customer, since we have them locked in".

If there is ever a class action suit about the monopolistic actions by AT&T, then I may one day be vindicated for staying with the "unlimited plan", and will be able to say AT&T got what they deserved. The denial of the "merger" with T-Mobile gives me a sliver of hope in this regard.

I made the decision about 9 months ago to drop down to a metered plan from unlimited. I figured I would save money and even though I could see the argument for future proofing, the contract says plans can be changed at any time so there wasn't any benefit for keeping unlimited. I dropped to the 200Mb plan and when I travel I just go online and upgrade to the 2GB plan (now it's 3GB). If you do it online, you can get it for the pro-rated period as few as a couple of days.

Takes a little bit more active management but saves money and now allows me to use the Hot Spot option which wasn't allowed with unlimited (AFAIK).

I highly suggest Moneydance. It easily imports from Quicken and is much better. Apps for Mac, PC and iPhone!

What Am I Doing Wrong?

Posted by: "lwr32" whiterabbit32@gmail.com   lwr0032

Sat Mar 17, 2012 1:44 am (PDT)



The new iPad was delivered today. I backed up my iPad 2 through iTunes to iCloud and activated my new iPad. I did a sync from my latest backup. All went well or so I thought. When I went into my journal app on the iPad all my journal entries were gone. It was like starting from the beginning. What am I doing wrong? Shouldn't the information in all apps be backing up to iCloud since I have iTunes set to do that?
