It would be nice if they carried that directory over to iOS. Tunein works pretty good over there, but I kept the old version before they put all that new social stuff in there. - Original Message - From: "Christopher-Mark Gilland" To: Sent: Friday, July 03, 2015 5:45 PM Subject: Re:

I ended up with enough supposedly free music that wasn't U2, almost all bands me, or nobody else would've heard of, that after listening to, I didn't know how I would've purchased. I'm not sure if Apple has pushed no-name bands in addition to U2, or if some bug just made them appear in my purcha

I have found that if we have one of the older ones boot camped, the mic portion of the headset connector won't function on the Windows side, so a USB one might be needed anyways. The way I understand Apple's headset jack is that it is like a normal 3.5mm jack that is a little longer and has one

I have one of the batteries from Ravpower. It has a little short lightning cable built-in. It is either 9000 or 1 mah, so you probably get a few good charges from dead with it. It does charge the phone fast though. - Original Message - From: "Aman Singer" To: Sent: Friday, Septe

I agree. It seems that next to video streaming, location services are the biggest culprit of battery drain. Since we don't know for sure, it's hard to say if Seeing Eye is more of a drain than it could be if maps were in local storage as opposed to maintaining a constant connection to their serv

I think Apple has improved the speaker considerably as compared to the 4S up to the 6. I imagine that the HTC phones are probably considerably thicker though. I think it might be at a point where the only way to increase the quality of the speaker is to make it physically bigger in size. I know

Android tends to do those short vibrations at times when you flick through things, but you can't pinpoint it to any spot on the screen. I think something like this would hit the iPads first though. I heard on some tech shows about touch screen mixing consoles for radio, and for that, making som

I wonder if the phone could learn the key fob thingy one would use to enter buildings? The most annoying thing about the NFC in the iPhone is that the system at the library sets off the payment prompt in my pocket as I go through the door. I'm glad it hasn't succeeded in charging me yet, but I

I think this is another one of those features that has to be supported by the carrier. When I first got my watch, Sprint did not have it, so if the phone was on Wifi calling, the watch would simply not ring at all. If I was away and the phone was on cellular, the watch did ring. Now that Sprint

I don't think the iPhones ever had one. The radio might be part of the chips in there, but Apple disabled it somehow to where we can't turn it on. I think this is something exclusively for Android phones, but it would require headphones or a cable hooked to speakers to use for its antenna, so it
