Smartphones & Tablets

Biometrics is neither a silver bullet nor a foolish approach. The trick is to understand what you’re securing, and not pretend you’re getting more than you are

Siri

Just downloaded a new version this morning.

Just in the process of downloading to my iPhone 6 now

I'm scratching my head over this one. My fiancé changed over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S7 about 6 months ago but kept her icloud.com email address. Lately the Samsung email app and the gmail app can't delete messages off her icloud.com. If she uses the icloud.com off her PC it works. I checked the SSL setup of the Android port settings, etc. and it's the same as Apple recommends.

Has anyone use their Smart Phone as a dash cam?

If anybody here is looking for mobile internet, AT&T recently announced that you can get the ZTE Mobely and get unlimited data in their vehicle for $20.00 per month. I didn't realize this until recently, but since most vehicles have the OBD-II port, this ZTE Mobely simply plugs into that for 12 volt power.

In switching our prepaid phone service to a new provider, I found that Consumer Cellular has much to recommend, especially for those who use little talk, text, and data. They are selling to older consumers, and others. Order online or at Sears and Target stores.

I have been given an iPad Pro (9.7" size) by my employer as a Service Anniversary Award. It has a GPS receiver and WiFi capability, but no internal phone. I love the hi-res screen, which started me thinking about the possibility of using the iPad Pro for vehicle navigation.

Has anyone any experience using an iPad like this for navigation?

Garmin just made available a new version of the app. Downloaded but have not yet tested.

I am sharing this in here in smartphones & tablets because most devices that have GPS Location Sharing are either two way radio or cellular based. Anyway, does anybody here have or use any devices for GPS Location Sharing?

I was reading about the Fantom Dynamics LINC today and it lists that feature.

Just went to use the app on my iPhone 6 and the app offered me the ability to download a map update. In the process of doing that now. Long overdue!!!

I’m curious if anyone here has any experience with these relatively new RF / Bluetooth / cellular tracker / locator devices.

Amazon gives it 4.5 stars but it seems to me you have to remember where you put the transmitter fob which is more easily lost than your keys or wallet.

Garmin just released new maps for the iOS App, probably apps.

Get 'em while they're hot.

Are you eager to test out beta iOS release?

I've been testing beta for quite awhile and had no problem with any of the release. I've noticed a performance boost in 10.3 beta 1 if anyone would like to give it a try.

Public Beta: https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/

or download IPSW firmware and update it using iTunes.

If you've got one of the Navigon Apps and have the Fresh Maps option, a map update is available... Fire up your Navigon app and follow the prompts...

I have had AT&T for a while and a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for a couple of years. There is an app that updates every now and then that I have never used as I don't know what it is.
AT&T Drive

I am assuming that it has something to do with driving .

Has anyone ever used it? Does anyone know what it is? Is it any good?

Thanks, Mary

As posted above, I am just wondering if anybody here keeps a smartphone or tablet permanently mounted in their vehicle just to run Google Maps.

Just came out yesterday, some enhancements.

Which way to turn?
