Forum Thread: New Battery for One Plus One

Hi all, I've noticed that my battery, surprise surprise, isn't what it used to be (the phone is about 4 or 5 yrs old). I've installed acubattery which tells me that it is still 77% which is great but I'm considering buying a new battery to replace the old one. So, my questions are: -is it a good time now that is has degraded a bit (don't be fooled by that 77%, it discharges pretty quickly i have to charge twice a day even if I've done my best to optimize it) -i seem to understand that they do...

Forum Thread: iMessage Profile Pic or Avatar Not Working in iOS 13

I couldn't find an answer for this anywhere, but the iMessage profile pic or avatar is not working in iOS 13. I have followed all the instructions to create a photo or avatar to share with your contacts but it never sticks. After I change it, I'll go back into the settings or via the message app and it's back to my initials. Can't figure out a way to get it to stick. Anyone else having issues with this?

Forum Thread: What Should I NOT Want to See in My Trusted Credentials Log?

My phone (htc desire) is showing all signs of some type of malware . So went to check out my security settings and and found an app that I did not download. In fact the logo of said app was incorrect. They basic design was the same but the color and other small details were not of the genuine app logo. Needless to say, I deleted it. Now I took a look at the trusted credentials and I am not sure if some the certs should be there cause they sound pretty shady. How ever I am a newbie and don't k...

Forum Thread: Battery Life on iOS 13.1.2 on the iPhone 7 !

I know that with every update there are certain things that get added that use more batter life and drain the overall precentage of the iPhone, but this new update is terrible.

Prior to this update i was on iOS 12.(something i forgot) and i didnt have these issues there. Anyone experiencing the same as me ?

PSA: If You're Having Issues Activating the SIM in Your New Phone,

Spent a couple hours trying to activate the SIM in my new phone to no avail. , Try Putting Your Watch in Airplane Mode and Restarting Your Phone. Verizon couldn't figure it out, just saying it could take "up to 2 hours." After getting disconnected from Verizon support, it occurred to me this might be caused by my cellular Watch. I put it in airplane mode and restarted the phone. Within 3 minutes of being on, the phone was activated.

Forum Thread: iOS and macOS vs iOS and Windows Integration: What Would I Be Missing?

Hi! I've been using iPhones since 2013 (5c -> SE) and I'll most definitely keep doing so in the future. Probably going to upgrade in 2019 to the next XS iteration. I've also been using an iPad Air since its 2014 inception — not as likely to upgrade in the short term, but I'm also quite attached to it. 2020 or 2021 should see me getting a new model. I also have an Apple TV. The Watch has remained an unjustifiable gadget for me, but I'm keeping my eye on it. Maybe 2019 or 2020 I'll bite that bu...

Forum Thread: Artificial Intelligence in Sci-Fi: A Double-Edged Sword

Peaceful optimism doesn't sell as well as gritty conflict. Science fiction stories that feature artificial intelligence usually have apocalyptic themes or disastrous consequences for the human characters. Hollywood has a strong selection bias for the darkest visions of an AI-enabled future because that's what makes compelling on-screen moments. These stories don't form in response to reality, and they don't serve to educate the audience either. They are fiction spun for our entertainment.
