Turned my phone off and back on, reopened weather underground and still getting server returned error 400. I have enabled the phone to find me in the app. Any other ideas or other ideas for good weather apps that are free? Going to look in applevis, but I did not want to pay for an app right

There really isn't anything wrong with Weather Underground; I'd wait a while before I buy another app. Even if it didn't cover your town, it would still cover something nearby. Do you have location services turned on? Even if not, i think it would ask if it could use your location. But I'd be a

Hi Phillip, You know, I have heard so many people say that they used to drop their glass finished iPhones. In fact, the web is replete with such complaints from all over the world. To date, I have yet to drop my glass finished iPhone. I am clearly the odd-man out on this issue. (smile).

Amazing iPhone 5 Call Quality

2012-10-01 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone, To date, I have had no fewer than 10 conversations with 7 people via their new iPhone 5s. I am amazed at the outstanding voice call quality of the iPhone 5 as heard from my end. Simply stated, I was unable to tell that they were not on a land-line. Regardless of the hardware

Mark, I am just wondering if you actually feel this way or just wanted to start a topic of conversation. In my opinion the 5 beats out the 4s hands down. Having the phone just that little bit lighter is heaven! I really did not think that it would make that much difference, but I was wrong. I

The only way I have gotten Netflicks to behave after the first page is to turn vo off, flick the screen up, turn vo on and read the links on that page. If you just keep swiping to the right, vo doesn't follow the cursor, it follows the screen so the movie stays at the last one on the beginning
