Be Excellent To Each Other

Stop cropping all those screenshots

Mine has been normal. I'd say great after a long pokehunt, many many messages and loads of pictures.

I updated my mum's ios whilst she was here and she spend the 2.5 hour drive home sending me messages with random effects

Is it safe?

It's awaiting download on my Air, but I wanted to wait until everyone was sure that the Russians hadn't embedded some naughtiness in it that would bring The West to its knees.

A friend at work updated her phone over the weekend but it seems that iOS10 has bricked it.

She went into a shop this morning (not an Apply shop) and they quoted £600 for a new phone AND she was ready to pay it! Is this really a thing? I know Apple would be well covered in their T&Cs against breaking phones but that's a hell of a lot of money.

Surely there should be a way of fixing it? I've had a look online and it looks like plugging it into iTunes could be a start. I've said I'll take it home and try to fix it first as there's better things to spend £600 on.

She agreed with this and said there's a pair of shoes she wants for £495....

She's jokingly agreed to give me the difference if I can fix it.

Firstly you've made a friend at work (yay!)

Secondly this person seems to have more money than God.

iOS 10 seems to have fucked Chrome on my iPad and handily after having a quick look around I seem to be the only person in the entire world who is having this particular problem. Basically every single site I visit Chrome reports as having a security problem to the extent that it won't even let me visit it. Not really tried much yet to try and fix it. I guess uninstalling and then reinstalling Chrome might help.

Check the time and date on your iPad.

Ta Grim... I'll have a look when I get back.

This may be a daft question, but have you updated Chrome to the latest version, too?

It's not a daft question. I haven't actually updated anything since going to iOS 10 so I'll do that too.

Someone at work just paid £100 over the already daft price for an iPhone 7 just so he didn't have to wait a week for one.

James?

This would also be my guess.

This iPhone is well and truly fucked. iTunes is showing an error code 56 which is apparently an issue with the hardware possibly caused by updating it?

Either way, it looks like she's going to have to shell out for a new phone.

Correctamundo.

Has she tried taking it to an Apple Store?

Not yet. That's going to be my advice to her when I take it back tomorrow. I don't think there's anything I can do with it?

Just looked at my phone and there was a Chrome update out 13th September

Worth doing all updates as I had a few apps playing up after IOS 10 that were all fixed by updates.

You know when you're looking at your lock screen and you swipe right to go to your widget view?

Is there any way of having that widget view "stick" when you turn the screen off, so that when you turn the screen back on it's still there instead of needing to be swiped to again?

One thing that I fucking hate about iOS (and it's something that's been there since the start basically, and it annoys me that they still haven't "fixed" it) is that on the default lock screen, you only get a Calendar notification appearing when an event is imminent, whereas I like to be able to see the next two or three things I have in my diary at all times - not just when they're about to happen.

Get an Android

Not without jailbreaking, but you can add it to the notification center for swiping down quickly without unlocking:
You can decide what to show in Settings > Notifications and whether to allow it at all in Settings > TouchID & Passcode

Who are you and what have you done with myp?

Have been considering it, but would mean I'd have to change watch too.

AOSP with no Google Play services, presumably
