There may always be blind spots in coverage.. Ma’s house was one example.. 100m up or down the road and there was coverage.. or go to second floor and stand at west side at window to try erratic coverage. Reason.. tower pointed at her but house just below hill. Bro’s house (other place) has coverage but very bad.. reason.. tower one pointer at his direction too far away.. tower two was closed but seems to be pointed away from his house.

Their solutions? Ma moved into city.. Bro was just happy work couldn’t get a hold on him 😬

Worth mention.. different providers uses different bands.. and different bands has it’s + and -.. High freq bands = faster (more data) BUT towers needs to be closer. Great for cities. Lower freq bands = slower but reach longer.. great for outside cities.

Try restarting the iPhone.. usually it fixes it..

It’s a fuck up from Apple.. when re-downloading an offloaded app, and the latest version of the app demands a later firmware, it doesn’t download the latest compatible version nor does it ask to do so. It just “download” and then doesn’t install.

If you go to App Store, search for the app and redownload it from there, it will ask if you would like to download latest compatible version , yet, it flunk to install it..

The solution is.. Download those apps via your Bought History list instead.. it will ask to install latest compatible version.. and NOW it does download AND install latest comp version!

No one knows until June.. in best case.. when the iOS 17 beta program is released.. but we can’t be certain until September..

I wouldn’t be surprised if iPhone 8 would get iOS 17.. but not iOS 18..

Yet, even if it wouldn’t get iOS 17, you would still get security updates on iPhone 8 for a couple of years more so you’ll still be safe.

If you would like to get a newer iPhone but still keep it cheap, an iPhone SE 2020 is the next best and cheap iPhone to go..

In history list, press i on right and the above pic you posted shows up..

Then press and hold on the phone number and menu with copy (the number it is) will show up..

And by the way.. the number you posted seems to go to James D Dietter, ~36y from 9 Overlook Dr in Danbury and working at Realtor.com..

Any iPhone and iPad with an A12 processor or newer..

If you also used an Apple Adapter, then escalate it on Apple support, meaning they should request you sending the cable to them (they’ll pay postage) including photo copy of the iPhone box with the manufacture labels so Apple can pinpoint what other cables may be defective..

Do note, if you didn’t buy the iPhone new (unboxed), it may not be the original cable. I have had non-original-Apple cables getting hot when using with 2A or iPad adapters. I can highly recommend IKEAs cables! Best yet by far both in price AND longevity!

Secondly, many power adapters are hazardous.. if even a short power surge occurs, these adapters are not made to handle it but either damage the power adapter or forwards the surge, damaging the cable and or the phone.. that is why it is a very cheap insurance getting a power supply/adapter that is certified.. like this Belkin 2x USB-C that can fast charge two devices at once..

Maybe..

Up to August 5, 2022 at least it was possible by using an R-SIM and changing the ICCID.. I don’t know if that exploit has been plugged yet..

.. but think of following:

it’s not a permanent unlocking solution. You’ll need to repeat the steps above if the device is restarted.

To update to the newest iOS, you have to manually enter the ICCID code for you to update the software.

Apple keeps on changing the operation of its activation algorithm blocking all the devices using the R-Sim adapters. This makes all devices using the R-Sim chip dead and you have to wait for the newest version of R-Sim to unlock your device.

Incorrect operation of the chip can lead to problems with the SIM card tray, errors when installing software patches, network errors, or internet problems.

R-Sim drains the battery faster due to the increased power consumption of the iPhone device.

Carrier updates will often pop up on your screen from time to time prompting you to update the patches which can have issues with your unlock code

Scammers: Getting a trusted dealer to buy the chip may be difficult. You need to be very careful when getting the R-Sim chip to avoid being scammed.

And yes, at least in Europe the ops shares the blacklist..

Unfortunately there isn’t an easy way importing others ringtones.. the EASY way is starting iTunes Store app on your iPhone, search term “ringtone minions”, listen to them, pic any you wish, pay a buck and then the ringtone downloads and installs correctly on your phone..

Ringtone Minions

The app may have been compromised but their homepage has been hacked to installing malware (affecting android/win) so it sends your wallet to a third party who then transfer your coins..

The company have now filed something something as it seems they are going bankruptcy..

Pic is some screenshots I made of interest in the subject..
