    Can my deactivated iPhone 5 be fully used with iMessage continuity?

    FWIW, I know two people who lost the ability to use iMessage to or from their cell phone number when they upgraded their device to iOS 8.they could send and receive messages from their iMessage registered email address, but not from their phone number. The solution was logging out of iMessage...

    iOS 7.1 is out, do not update

    If I'm on 7.0.4 is it too late to Jailbreak? I can't remember if it was a 7.0.4 OTA update, which is said to cause problems.

    Apple cancelled my 5S order :(

    Just trying to be helpful here, but if it's battery life that you care about, check out the HTC One. A friend got it and the battery lasts a crazy long time. The Samsung Galaxy S4 looks to be the battery king, though. Check out this link for more...

    Sprint LTE limitations

    I can't say whether you will definitely see improved speeds, but Network Vision is designed to increase the backhaul bandwidth as well. This means (at least in theory!) you should see improved speeds on 3G as well. In addition, more users will be enjoying the LTE connections, they will not be...

    Google talk

    Yeah, you might be right, Hot. I seem to remember it working, but it's hard to know if you're not getting notifications unless you get feedback from your friends.

    You might give imo a try. I've had good experiences with it.

    Cellular Network Data vs. Tether Data

    I should add that I'm not worried about the tether data since it doesn't show up on my Sprint account.

    Cellular Network Data vs. Tether Data

    Mine as well. The amount varies wildly. I also am curious about why phone has a few days of usage when it was supposed to be new!

    iMessage only: Anyone NOT have an unlimited texting plan?

    What carrier do you have? I have sprint which includes unlimited mobile - mobile and unlimited texts, but it sounds like you're talking about something different.

    iPhone won't charge after battery drained!!

    I want to echo the suggestion to try a different charger and charging cable. if you're not even getting a charging symbol, this sounds more likely to be a charger or cable issue than a battery issue. Alternatively, you could take a look at the charging port. Perhaps one of the pins isn't lining...

    Best Gmail Settings?

    Hmm. That's a bummer. I didn't have that happen, but after all the excitement I went back to IMAP. I'm almost ashamed to say it! Exchange was quicker loading and checking, but it didn't always push very fast. Sometimes it would take ten minutes for a message to arrive, at which point I may as...

    How does iPod Touch 4G "feels" compared to iPhone 4/4S?

    Actually I disagree. The iPhone 4 has better viewing angles and is brighter, making it more clear unless viewed from straight on.

    Can I use my old Palm Pre wall charger adapter?

    This is a great question. I wish we had some engineeres who could speak to this issue as it comes up a lot. If the charger has the same voltage and amp rating and the polarity and pins are aligned, I will say with 95% certainty you're good to go. (you may ask what that's worth -- well, I'd...

    "other" data

    This is probably obvious to you, but what do you mean by "everything else is under a gig"? Do you mean there are several items that are each less than 1 GB (say in the 500MB to 900MB range)? Or do you mean there is 1.2 GB of music, and the total of everything else adds up to less than 1 GB? Just...
