i actually get tons of people who try to jail break their phones and end up bricking it. And they are clueless on how to fix it. and they expect ATT or Apple to fix it.
Not to mention the large amount of users who went to IOS6 and their phones bricked...
Really, i am an escalation manager for ATT in a call center for ATT. My last few weeks since the Iphone 5 release has been about whiney bitches complaining that their phone does not have good battery life or connection to the network. God forbid Apple lied about a shoddy product.
Yet I rarely get a call from a CM user bitching...
Wow you do not know the history of computers.
When Wordperfect was tanking the mormon church made Novell buy them. I still have a CD that says "Novell Word Perfect".
I worked for an ISP called Verio, now owned by NTT, and the majority of our servers in Orem Utah, the church gave us hell because of internet porn, so we got the hell outta dodge.
Really? As an old network engineer the mantra was if there was not something in a service pack, update, that you specifically needed, there was no valid reason to update the os, software package that was working fine, unless you needed the untested specific bell and whistle. Especially if you are using your computer/device as an integral part of making your living or running a business.
Updates should be vetted for a period of time to make sure there are no anomalies which could cause issues.
Talk to me when you have a client who updated their software on their phone and suddenly all their contacts went to shit, and they did not have the sense to back up to the Icloud or Itunes, and a senior Vice President at Gulf Strean is screaming at you because of his stupidity.
It is not a question of what a client wants, it is a question of proper procedure.
You need to find yourself a new job if you think IT is about the latest and greatest.
i work for ATT, as stated in a previous post, and the carrier does let you fuck with your device software, like ATT customers cannot use Facetime over the network unless they are are on certain data plans, which is flag created by apple, because they get a percentage of the cost of the data plans, and stand to make more money... not the US but Apple...
And Apple rules at ATT is that if you want to upgrade before you contract is over, you pay 250 bucks plus the cost of the upgrade.
But then I know shite about Apple...
i work for ATT which arguably has the largest number of Idevices, and as an escalation manager, I have to handle problems from both platforms. IOS6 has caused me quite a bit of headaches since its release, since the majority of Apple users are non technical users and do not live by the mantra if it aint broke, dont fix it. So they update from apple and it suddenly is the carriers problem.... when in reality any software, hardware update should be shunned for at least six months.
As far as vendor support, when something goes wrong with an iphone that is an inherent problem with ios, the apple geniuses blame it on the carrier.
Apple always gives a resounding fuck you to the carrier because they do not like to admit they are wrong. So in my daily workload I have to explain the "geniuses" are not geniuses".
I run jellybean on a 2 year old Motorola....
Iphone users will update to whatever, not realizing that something is a beta needs to be fully baked. I took 40 escalations today over I)S 6...
maybe you would remember the first phone with Itunes, the Motorla Rokr, that apple severely crippled when they realized they should get into the phone business and should cut Motorola out of it after they had seen all of motos r and d, this is the real reason moto hates apple.
i have been a member of the CWA for years, and about the only thing i have ever gotten out of them was a bag of popcorn, a pen that doesnt work, and dues taken out of my paycheck. Also union stewards who always agree with management.
Back when I worked at Bellsouth we had 3 minute toilet breaks, and they had a speaker in the fucking bathroom and if your dump took over 3 minutes they would call out to you.
They can do like they do in Argentina, anything negative about Argentina, mainly Hand of God Maradona, Google has removed from local searches, because there is a lawyer in Argentina who keeps them tied up in court.
Hmmm, do I see a pattern, Germany not wanting to remember the holocaust, Argentina, large German expat population, doesn't want their dirty laundry in public...
Que pesar.
As a tech support manager with AT&T Iphones require more reboots than androids to maintain, regain, or have signal strength, the Iphone is the worst smart phone for seeing the network...
You have obviously never used an iphone.
My bio dad is Colombian, he hit the road when I was 2, but I lived in Colombia for 8 years on and off, and my spanish is better than most american latinos, punctuation, grammar, abstract concepts, and technical.
I took spanish in high school as well, but it no way prepared me to dumped into the ass end of Latino America.
I started speaking spanish when I was 20, and at 42 I will bet dollars to donuts I will outclass people who grew up in latino households in the states.
Apple dictates what apps can and can't be installed on your phone, but they don't control it. Jailbreak to install whatever you want and they've never removed an installed app from a device. They do control what's in the App Store but that isn't part of the discussion.
They might not have removed it but they disabled Siri's server connections for iphone 4 users who had already downloaded so it no longer functioned. So stopping an installed app from functioning, is just the same as removing it.
As someone who is a dual citizen with Colombia and the US, and who has worked all over Latin America.
An Americano generally means someone from the US, a gringo is a Canadian, a US citizen, and even in many cases white europeans.
Candadians are always considered Gringos, despite what they think.
As a Colombian, do not post anything Colombia Reports posts, while some topics might hold a grain of truth, they are just regurgitated articles translated by the owner without giving credit to whomever wrote the article originally.
And as a US citizen, we have done much wrong, but as a personal friend of the DEA boss in Colombia, we are doing much right.
Colombians are quick to sell out their own, it is hardly the Unites States' fault.
Well,
I am US citizen and a Colombian citizen, and a fairly liberal guy who has probably been higher on most substances in my life during my younger and wilder years.
A coke head in Colombia or in the US is equally dangerous, I have seen the dangers of cocaine in both countries, and have had to deal with potential muggies in both countries due to crack heads.
Weed, booze, E, is fine, but cocaine is a truly evil drug.
Removing the profit from it will not change it. Cheaper cocaine will just lead to addicts who do not have to pay as much to get high.
You have no idea how cocaine really works.
No, windows 2000, does not need a hardware decoder card.... i have a windows 2000 box here, that doesnt have one that can play a dvd.... and just checked for sure. You really need to get your facts straight...
And like most apple users I support as an AT&T employee you are clueless. There has never been a stop on the the ipad 2.....
Just the Iphone 4 because it was crap, and still is crap.

Actually, I live in America and work for ATT, everyone knows about Samsung and many Iphone users have jumped shipped for the note and the s3.
And looking around in a building where a 1000 people work, the majority have moved to android.

my two year old moto defy is running jelly bean. I mean it is a hacked mod, but this is /., are we not supposed to be the least bit techie?

The ATT Iphone 4s is not a 4g phone... Never was and never will be... No matter how hard you wish upon an apple star.
Que pesar means, what a shame, or what a burden. Pesar has more uses than weigh.
