In all truth, I thing the 6 is more touchy and less stable, and maybe that
is due to its being so fast. While in the sound settings it kept popping me
back to the home page when I was looking at the settings for airdrop. I
don't even know what airdrop is. I think I heard something that said quit
and maybe I lightly touched that? There is an odd soft almost breathing or
very soft air poof sound that the phone makes and I think it has to do with
the home button and lock button. I might want to turn whatever that is off.
I can't find my sister's purchased page in I Cloud either. Her name
shows as the organizer and mine as me, and it appears we are in sync but
there is nowhere to look at her purchases - I did this on the old phone with
no problem. All I see is her info and e-mail. I went to the app store to see
if anything would show there but all I got was the list of available apps
and nothing more. I don't remember if there are buttons or tabs on that
opening page to set it to a different view but I bet you I looked for them
and they were not on the page that came up.
I have not backed up this phone from ITunes on the computer but I did find
the setting for syncing devices again and told it to share everything. Now I
have old phone messages on the new phone. Can I assume that the apps won't
be transferred automatically without plugging the phone into my backup on
the computer? I thought I saw that and told it ok, or hit on apps. Do you
have to choose I Cloud over I Tunes or can you use both. Presently the phone
is using I Cloud. I hope to get to the shop today to get clarification on
many of these issues.
I'm hoping I get more comfortable with this new phone soon cause now
other than the speed of it, I am not happy with it. Like I said before, the
speaker quality alone is worse than on the 4S. Could that be due to the
case? I only recorded one thumbprint with someone's supervision and the
recognition with that isn't reliable either. Now I have all passcodes and
locking off. I lock manually when I know I won't be touching the phone for a
while and when I travel I can turn passcode on again.
Lastly, am I correct that with the 6 you can no longer do a double 2
finger double tap to answer a call but must hit the accept button?

That does seem kind of weird. I have a 6 and a 4s though only the 6 is
functioning as a phone. I am not using iCloud on either device. I can read
email and send messages on both devices just fine. Try turning off iCloud if
you don't need it and see if that helps.
