As we went over in the Android thread, try Paper. It's a different interface for FB, but it's developed by FB themselves.
Facebook has been a major battery drain on every device I've used. Read that on iOS, it makes the OS treat FB as a VoIP so it can be "always on" and pulling data even if you disable background app refresh.
Interesting about the FB app. I really hate it. I've got a 50/50 chance on the app crashing when I load.
And then it takes a good 1-2 minutes to load the news feed.
And then I got another 50/50 chance it'll freeze my entire phone for about 4-5 minutes. Completely unresponsive to anything but a force reset or if I wait it out
The Paper app is interesting, but I cant get used to it.
Yeah, it doesn't have the same full functionality as the standard app. But I'm used to apps with swiping gestures. Anything to not deal with how shitty the regular FB app is.
The app to find out which chip you have has been taken down from the app store. Speculation is that hush money was involved
From the developer's Facebook page:
Dear users of Lirum Device Info,
We are aware of some serious issues or our Apps with the latest iOS models (iPhone 6S and iPad Air 2). Changes on the requirements for a new update to be approved are also delaying the development process (and our team is very small).
In face of such events, in 24 hours, we will take Lirum Device Info down from the App Store - until we can release a decent update. That will take a few months however - but then we promise an entire new user interface, faster updates when a new device model is released, and a lot of new features.
Until then, the app will continue to work on models equal or prior to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
Are you 6s/6s+ guys having the issue of the phone mysteriously turning off? I read it about it online and it happened to her this morning. Wasn't her battery because she left it charging in her car since the 2 button start wouldn't work and it turned on after 5 minutes by itself with like 53% battery.
I took my 6 off the charger at 6:30 browsed a little FB and IG. Currently sitting at 78%. I must say my battery life is a shit ton better then my S5.....
So if you have an unlocked phone from Apple, then you need to call to have them enable LTE over voice and WIFI calling. Im waiting for a case now to get it working.
It happened again but now won't turn on. It's been off for hours. She's making an appt
Scheduled appts are a freaking week out but we went to the Apple Store and they offered to switch it out. Funny thing is they have phones there that aren't marked in the inventory so it shows out of stock but they really have them so yes you have Plus phones in the back you lazy fucks. Anyways with ATT Next, you have to return the phone/void the contract/reinstate the upgrade eligibility. The problem is that the upgrade eligibility doesn't kick in instantly nor within an hour (yes we waited and called ATT both my gf and the Apple staff). So basically if she didn't have her old 5, she would be phoneless until it's available which they say could take 24/48 hours I've always HATED the idea of Next and this further solidifies my fear. I remember back when I had the 3GS they swapped it no questions asked thanks to the old subsidized plans back when I had unlimited data and shit was better. Way to devolve ATT.
No they can't give it to her. The upgrade won't show. She can't re-sign until the Next is available on her account again. Even the ATT rep says it should be there. It's a system limitation apparently.

She called ATT again today. Now they're saying they shouldn't have canceled it and it should be ready today. Terrible service.
Honestly it's customer service EVERYWHERE. So much incompetence. I had issues with Schwab today as well and don't get me started at Comcast. Even on Twitter 3 different ATT gave me different answers when I posted that apparently you can't swap phones instantly while on Next.
For the first six months of 2015, Apple averaged a daily net profit of $134.7 million, which means the judgment will account for approximately 42 hours of profit. Apple has said it will appeal the ruling.
No idea why, but I just noticed yesterday Siri wasn't working. I would press the button and the little Siri lines would show on the screen as if she was saying something but she wouldn't say anything and no words would display on the screen. Only worked again after I turned the phone off and back on again.
Siri sucks, i wish it could be replaced with the google search. I get pissed when I can't get what I am looking for and then realize that I'm talking to siri and not google.

This is one of my top reasons for switching. Google Now is awesome and I miss it from my N5.

Google now is just loaded with extra stuff. Sports information, travel plans, tv information etc. are all just there for view. Apple is trying to implement it, but it's just not there yet.
However, my Siri is an Australian Male, so it's a lot more fun.

Maybe I should have stuck with Android.
It says "background activity" for music and mail 
Wi-Fi calling for AT&T just went live!
