Hey Wayne, I thought about doing the reset but read about a non VO issue where users were having a lot of their iCloud documents erased when doing that, so am holding off on doing that. I have an old 4S and am actually using it more and more on IOS7 these days as some of the apps I use have been crashing constantly on IOS 8. Not sure if the crashing issue is an IOS or app specific issue but it has gotten to the point where if I am going to use one of those app might as well use them on the old phone where they work perfectly. Thanks for your thoughts. Best, On Oct 3, 2014, at 12:31 PM, Wayne Merritt <[email protected]> wrote:
