QUOTE(v1n0d @ Jan 13 2015, 10:01 AM) Does jailbreaking solve issue #1 and #3? These are the more pressing ones at the moment. #1 not sure but #3 you could do wonders.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPSuLByT0G4 check this out, also you can refer to jailbreak thread for more info  |

QUOTE(v1n0d @ Jan 13 2015, 09:08 AM) Morning guys. I have some questions/rants as a new user who migrated from Android. Please do share if you have a solution for the following gripes: 1. Not an iOS user here but read this - https://developer.apple.com/app-extensions/1. Why is it so hard to share pictures from Safari/Chrome to WhatsApp? On Android, I could long-press the picture and a menu would pop up allowing me to share directly to WhatsApp. On iOS I can't seem to find an equivalent action. I tried using the share button on the toolbar, and even then there's no extention for WhatsApp (yet Viber has one). I've now resorted to saving the picture then sharing it from inside WhatsApp.  2. SwiftKey for iOS sucks! The Android version was freaking awesome, and most of the nice stuff hasn't been carried over. There's no support for Malay, and even the "tap spacebar to insert prediction" feature has been replaced with the iOS standard "double tap to insert period". To make things worse, 3rd-party keyboards are automatically disabled in password fields, causing it to switch back to the default keyboard whenever a password is required.  3. I find double-click for task switching and double-tap for Reachability a bit annoying. It would be nice if I could double-tap to open the task switcher, at least then I wouldn't feel so guilty about wrecking the home button in record time. A friend of mine who's using a 4S told me that the home button tends to get damaged easily, and recommended that I use the little floating box that's part of assisted touch. I'm doing that now, but I often find myself unconsciously double-clicking the home screen as it's the more natural action.  This is something need to be made by the app developers, as iOS doesn't have this feature built in the OS itself, which Android have since the beginning. 2. This is known, so yeah. wait for updates~ 3. This is preferences i guess. I hate it too. But my friend using 6 plus said its useful. idk but its meh for me. they should think other implementation method. |

QUOTE(attw @ Jan 13 2015, 09:50 AM) Coming from a guy who went from iOS to Android and back to iOS again: - Just to let you know this is one of the things which I hate about iOS. The sharing feature is really bad on iOS. Enough said. 1 - I think eventually Whatsapp would incorporate this into their software update. It took sometime for them to release an update for iOS 8 to fix the ugly interface on the 6 Plus, so it'll probably be a matter of time. That said, ya, it's a little annoying that you have options to share in Twitter, FB and even Flickr but not Whatsapp  |

QUOTE(silencer5089 @ Jan 13 2015, 10:33 AM) #1 not sure but #3 you could do wonders. Just saw the video, and I think Activator alone is more than enough reason to give it a try (at least then I can double tap the home button to activate the task switcher). I read that I can restore via iTunes before sending the phone back for warranty, so it's not a one-way road.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPSuLByT0G4 check this out, also you can refer to jailbreak thread for more info Since extensions are now a part of iOS 8, I'm guessing I'll just have to sit back and wait until WhatsApp gets updated to make use of it.  |

At least its possible now! haha previously no options of getting the sharing option if Apple never introduces Extensions.Since extensions are now a part of iOS 8, I'm guessing I'll just have to sit back and wait until WhatsApp gets updated to make use of it. |

QUOTE(attw @ Jan 13 2015, 09:50 AM) 3 - I never did like the virtual home button on my screen so I'm pressing the home button all the way. If it wears out before my warranty period is over then good, I'll claim. But if it wears out after the warranty period, err, well, we'll figure out something. That said the home button on the 4 and 4S was problematic but I think the one on the 5 and 5S was better already. I maybe wrong though, I had the 4 for 2 years and the 5 for 1.5 years and both were still OK when I sold the phone, although, the 4 did feel a little dodgy towards the end. I still have & daily use ip4,4S,5 & 5S. So far only my ip4 needs the home button replacement, infact i already replaced it 3 times. Battery too, replaced 3 times for that ip4. For other iphone versions that i have as stated above (ip2 & 3G i still keep it but didnt use anymore), so far no need for any corrective action...Never fond to use the 'distractive' assistive touch. So besides ip4, the rest iphone version home button didnt have such problem. At least for me  This post has been edited by decavalera: Jan 13 2015, 11:21 AM |

Yeah, I do agree the assistive touch really is a distraction, especially when you are playing games or using WhatsApp (it shoots to the top-left corner and you have to swipe the button back down, when you want to go "back" to the previous screen). Never fond to use the 'distractive' assistive touch. So besides ip4, the rest iphone version home button didnt have such problem. At least for me That's why I prefer to use the home button as well, and only using the assistive touch when necessary! |

QUOTE(tonyang @ Jan 13 2015, 11:33 AM) very hard to find nice iphone6 plus cover... What about the lifestyle-oriented Mac Studio Live! in Jaya Shopping Center, Section 14? Maybe you can find what you want there? many only sell protection cover nia  I'm thinking of heading to that shop after work as well (my office is only 5-10 minutes from Section 14), to find a better transparent case than the Air Jacket I'm using now!
