Re: Data usage discrepancy (sidetracked)

I was checking the ATT site, which I know does lag some time behind in posting.

I haven't been using the MobiShield one long, but your post got me to looking a little more. It accesses the UDID, so I've trashed that one. It wasn't really doing much that DataMan doesn't already do.

Both of them show me with a different number than ATT shows right now, although I think MobiShield (about 10mb higher than ATT) may be closer to right than DataMan (about 65mb lower) due to the lag time on ATT's report.

I was going off the data from the AT&T site which I realize does lag a bit
on the posting.

And your posting about the mobi app got me to looking a bit more at it. It
does grab the UDID. I hadn't looked closely enough at it. After examining
it a bit more I opted to delete that one. It's duping the data an stuff
anyway. Probably better to be safe on it. Another good tip I've gotten
from the group. Thanks.

A bit of an eye opener wasn't that. And don't worry, I have to remind myself to check the reviews and developers out, too.

FACE TIME ISSUE - NOT CONNECTING DESPITE IN A WIFI ZONE

Posted by: "Michael Moloney" moloney.icloud@gmail.com   moloney_mj

Wed Mar 28, 2012 3:10 am (PDT)



Hello

I am trying to contact a friend on facetime. My friend has the iPhone 4 and I have the iPhone 4S.

When I ring the cell-phone number, it rings but my friend doesn't receive the ringing on their end and vice-versa despite being in a wifi area.

Any suggestions?

Is Facetime turned on on the phone you are calling? Default for Facetime is
off.

How many places is your friend logged in facetime from? One with him could
be off.

Also, "being in a Wifi area" does not necessarily mean the iPhone is logged into the Wifi network.

If you're calling and he's not getting ring and he's calling and you're not
getting ring that means you're calling either wrong numbers or their
different FaceTime account which is not logged in.

Calendar List Display messed up since update

Posted by: "oklahomajamie" JamieCody@gmail.com   oklahomajamie

Wed Mar 28, 2012 7:53 am (PDT)



Is anyone else having problems with the calendar? My monthly and daily views are correct, but my list view is all off. It shows Sun April 1 2012 and the items for that day are actually this Thurs March 29. As I was typing this, I entered another item on tomorrows calendar, and it changed the date to April 10!
