    Had to unblock this... to see the post, thanks TS. North Koreans, B(b)oston-nuts and Apple. I wrote 'banal responses', like yours, not 'emotional'. Disgusting...

    What company's based in Boston, anyway? Or maybe I'm missing something since he mentioned North Korea. 


     


    Let's see, North Koreans are indoctrinated, he's claiming Apple users are, but… Boston? I don't get it.

    He(?) just picked headline subjects I believe, with 'boston-nuts' probably referring to the bombers.

    No, they don't. No, YouTube isn't a valid example of anything.

    Assimilated? You know, there are some good dictionary apps on iOS (and Android), you might want to invest in one. Otherwise, you know absolutely nothing about me, and have nothing substantive to say, so, why not stay silent?

    By relentless trolling, do you mean "preventing you from lounging in your KoolAid bath"? Just curious. As for the bane, you are the bane, together with TS, with your relentless, nonsensical bullying, and attempting to drive out anyone who does not agree with you 100%. What business are you in? Prison guard? If not, you should know better.

    One person having problems ? Apple needs to reevaluate their hardware and software testing.

    You are lucky to not have problems with the updater (or maybe you only update over WiFi -- the lockups happen when the phone moves during an update to a different modality.


     


    You are also lukcy about the OS not crashing. Mine has required a hard reset a couple of times (as suggested by Apple technical support, which IS quite good). And "my device" is any one of four iPhones and five iPads. I guess I can rent a truck and take them all in.



     


    It's because the different carriers you list are supporting different systems entirely! GSM, CDMA etc… Is there another handset somewhere that will work "cross platform" like that? A truly global and universal handset? I don't know of one...


     


    So, of course, if you brought your VERIZON phone to Europe expecting to use that CDMA phone on a GSM system, then no… it wouldn't work. Not because it isn't "unlocked", but because it's incompatible. Like trying to run iOS software on an android handset, or OSX software on a Windows box.


     


    I have used my unlocked GSM (originally AT&T) iPhone all over Europe AND Eastern Europe using the MOST common carriers there (they are the most common because GSM is preferred pretty much everywhere there and all over Asia as well).


     


    Do you understand how cellular networks actually work? Different carriers have different systems (GSM, CDMA, LTE), that aren't compatible with each other. A phone supporting one range of GSM / LTE won't typically work on a CDMA system. It isn't APPLE that "isn't making a truly unlocked phone". It's that they aren't making a "truly universal" system-agnostic phone. That could be coming, but no-one has one yet that I'm aware of. It's prohibitively expensive and battery-draining.


     


    Again you mention "The Updater" and again, I don't know what you're referring to. iTunes? The App Store app? I still use iTunes on my iMac to update apps, then sync those to my devices… sometimes I update directly from a device, using the App Store app… if I have to change location in mid-download, the downloads pause. It's just a matter of re-initiating them when I've got a WiFi signal again.


     


    It's a feature not a bug. If you initiate a download using WiFi, and leave the range of that WiFi in mid-download, iOS doesn't assume you want to automatically switch and continue using your cell data for the download, which might be metered and cost money to use. So it stops. It may be possible to change that behavior in settings.


     


    There are two ways to resume downloads. One is to simply double-tap the "paused" app icon (I believe this will resume the download for that and all other "queued" apps). The other way is to use the App Store "updates" tab. That allows you to resume your updates all at once, and it will start with any that are already in progress. It isn't an arduous "one at a time" manual process at all.


     


    Yes, I mentioned that I also had a couple of occasions (over the 6+ years I've been using iOS) where the device 'crashed' (required a hard reset). Both were attributable to poorly behaving 3rd party apps.


     


    So, your previous implication of "happens all the time" or frequently, is now "a couple of times" across 9 iOS devices…..? With your experience partly due to clear ignorance of how it's meant to function?


     


    I believe this is a case of "Much Ado About Nothing", combined with "you doth protest too much"………..

    Why is it that ALL Android, Windows, or Blackberry ads always say, "screen images simulated"?? Apple never does that...

    This is just another ad for the uninformed, which is Samsung's user base...

    There's a modern eSurance (e-surance? Esurance?) ad that has an Android device displaying an iOS interface.


     


    They're simulated because the reality wouldn't sell! image

    OK now listen carefully. It isn't just "failing". Most of this is CLEARLY "operator ignorance". All of these "events" very likely share a common pattern that is not so grossly oversimple as "sometimes yeah, sometimes no… *drool"


     


    "Sometimes it works". Yes… probably at the point it has actually started to download, and when you leave the network in mid-download it switches to say "paused" under the app icon. Tapping it will certainly work.


     


    "Other times not". When I update my apps using the App Store app, sometimes there can be quite a few (say, a dozen or more) needing to be updated. When I set that in motion (tap the "Update All" button). iOS queues all the apps for update (puts an empty "progress bar" under their icons), but it DOESN'T start downloading all of them simultaneously. It does them one at a time (or three at a time depending on your settings? I haven't checked this in awhile). 


     


    If you leave the WiFi area in mid-download, ONLY the apps actually downloading (showing some progress in the progress bar) can be "resumed" by tapping them (those are the ones actually "paused"). The ones just "queued" will revert to normal, without a progress bar. 


     


    To resume ANY of those, just re-open the App Store app, select the updates tab, and start the process again. 


     


    It really makes sense when you think about/understand it. 


     


    Declaring that iOS is unstable, unreliable and flaky because you don't understand how it works is… kind of silly, don't you think?


     


    "And what floats?"


     


    "Wood?" "Very small rocks!"

    Does it mean that Apple's screen images are NOT simulated, or that Apple doesn't trouble to say that (I assume that the reason they ARE simulated is that direct screen shots would look terrible due to aliasing problems).

    I did NOT say that iOS is unstable, merely that it is not bulletproof. As for the updater, again, you don't think I have tried? And no, there is no way to turn this behavior off in the settings, even if I do have a 20GB LTE data plan, and really don't care about the data usage.
