How did you get Swype on your iphone 8? It's not avail from the app store for US customers.

Thanks! I had to readjust my thinking. I thought it was using 23% of the battery, but it really means that of the apps that used battery, it used 23% of the battery based on the apps that used battery. Subtle difference.

Does anyone know why Messages would be using 23% of my battery over the last 24hours? I mean, I text, but I wouldn't say excessively. Also, I've turned off location services for Messages. Any way to see HOW a specific app is using battery? Thanks!

Is there a way to hotkey the camera app? On my Droid, I could twist the camera and it would automatically open the camera app and get it ready to take a pic. I STILL do that when trying to take a pic. ;-)

Don't knock it till you try it. ;-) 1) My car is hardly EVER quiet. 2) When connected to my droid, Here's what happens. a) Music is playing. b) Text is received. c) Car audio chirps as a notice and music is muted. d) Voice announces "Message received from <Person's name>, would you like to read...

Thanks all. Guess this is just going to be something I will have to get used to. I see there are new Notification options coming to iOS 12 though...

Thanks, but I want it done automatically.

One of the things I miss from Droid is that when I connected to my car, it would automatically read my incoming texts as soon as I got them. Siri can't seem to do this on her own. I was thinking about using IFTTT, but can't seem to find a suitable recipie. Anyone know how to do this? Am I...

Well dang. It didn't work. I flipped the switch to turn the ringer off. Specified one of my test accounts to use "Emergency Bypass" for phone and text, sent an email to myself from one of the test accounts and nada. Does it ONLY work for phone and text? Not email?

NVM. Found the "Emergency Bypass" setting. Hope this does what I'm looking for.

Hmm... I tried that online one and it converted it to an .M4R format even though I selected "iPhone Ringtone.".

Ok, I did all the above. I can now go to Settings and see the custom ringtone and select it and hear it. When I go to Outlook though, it doesn't show it on the list of selectable sounds for a new email alert. What am I missing?

Is there a way to make sure when I get an email on a specific account or text from a contact that even if my ringer is off, I can still hear an audible alert? I've made them a Favorite, but if the ringer is off, I don't hear their custom ringtone. Thanks!

Ok, I installed iTunes. Followed the instructions and got the custom ringtone on the phone. I can see it under "Songs" on the phone, but but for some reason I can't copy/paste or move it to the Tones section. It's just a simple .MP3 file.

Ahhh... I see how Apple's ecosystem is starting its tentacles into my systems. ;-)
