iOS 8

[Keyboard Magic]

Typing this on iPhone 4S /iOS 8 on Safari. Works for me. Not using Chrome etc. Have experienced annoying little glitches. Can't shut off ringer without powering off phone etc. Ghosts in the machine, I suspect.  I really prefer the iPad or laptop to type. It's a pain in the "old eyes" to type with such a small screen.

Folks would probably be better off using the TapaTalk app to read this forum - give it a go .

Hi guys

I am finding different forums run better on safari or chrome or vice versa, my biggest problem is remembering which ones, lol

Watching the bendy phones on sky news, incredible

They will still sell loads though,

So as most of you already probably know, iOS 8.0.2 is available for download, to replace the 8.0.1 bug fix fail. I'm gonna try it on my old iPad 2 and make sure everything works okay before testing with the school's DL and AirPlay etc. But first a complete back up thru iTunes on the laptop in case it turns the iPad into a paperweight.  Fingers eyes and toes crossed! 

Apple recommends to do any updates with iTunes on your computer on wired network connection. I know, ya'll probably already knew about that too. 

A little while later.... Just finished the update to the iPad. It didn't melt or transition into another dimension. It's working just fine and the audio apps that crapped on iOS 8 work. Master Fader too  Now to try it on the DL next. 

Today Oct 1st : Did a gig with the DL. Everything passed with flying colors. No issues with iOS 8.0.2 and Master Fader.

My Fader works fine on my iPhone 6 iOS 8.00.
The "bendy" iphone thing is a nonsense perpetuated by Apple haters.
No doubt I could bend or damage ANY phone if I put my mind to it and was stupid enough.
Some people have absolutely no common sense.......

It didn't look very hard to bend on sky news,


Apple make great products, I think their policy on repairs stinks, I am pretty confident that if I took my out of warranty 4s in for repair they would suggest binning it?

Hey Kev,
Reality and what's on TV aren't always in sync!
To bend my iPhone 6 I'd have to make a pretty deliberate effort to do so - that's where the common sense bit comes in.
People are drop testing and bending iPhones to gain internet traffic, trying to make some "warped" (excuse the pun) point.
I'm sure the Samsung, Sony and HTC rivals wouldn't fare much better, but then it's not as trendy to hate them as it is Apple.

Maybe not mate

I love apple gear, hate itunes,


I wish Apple would pull me in to design the apple wundamix, have hot glue and Lolly Ice sticks will travel


 

[robbocurry]

Sorry Kev,
Missed a bit! I found Apple warranty pretty good TBH.
If you break your screen, dunk it in water etc., Apple used to exchange your phone for a fixed fee (around £130 if I recall).
This included out of warranty phones. Just walk in to the Apple store and you were sorted. Not sure you could get that with any of their rivals?
In warranty problems equally quick to resolve at no cost too, usually a swap. That's been my experience

When is the wundamix coming out btw? I'm going to preorder it ASAP lol

[Kev tyler]

Hi Robbo

Think I might just try and get it fixed, and come  back to you.

It's perfect apart from no wi fi, no Bluetooth

 

[robbocurry]

A good coat of Ronseal on those lollypop sticks will keep the wundamix going strong for years. Hand signals and paper planes all set for a comeback in 2016

When is the wundamix coming out btw? I'm going to preorder it ASAP lol

Apple wundamix, 1 U rack 6 midas preamps under license, pull out screen like on a DVD tray, fx, and a free copy of Onetrack thrown in, free airturn  pedal for stop and play of playlist

 

[robbocurry]
