It's gonna be interesting if they do let them release the app as it goes against the long standing policy of "replacing features already included" like when Swype wasn't allowed on the app store.

apologies, it appears i read an article based mostly on rumor yesterday

ios6 wifi issues
http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/09...-issues-ios-6/

currently a client's firewall policy prevents wifi devices from accessing internet, so as a result no ios6 devices can connect to wifi (because it fails the new 'wifi connectivity test')

pretty fucken retarded

Nah, Apple just fixed the ping page (which was 404'ing). I presume they were shifting things around web-wise in preparation for the huge flood of iOS devices hitting their site - but forgot to put the ping page up.

The grief now is handling an iOS device which attempts to hit the page, and gets a different response. I would wildly guess that it seems like the iOS device does different things depending on whether the response is a 302 (redirect to login page) or immediately presents the login page. I guess if it's a 302, it seems that Safari is launched and you go and put in your creds? If the ping request immediately gets the login page, I don't think it can handle it. I'm probably completely wrong, but that would kind of makes sense why it's "broken".

Seems strange that if DNS issues with Apple.com or connectivity issues to Akamai (hosting apple.com) means you can't use your device via WiFi.. but meh..

[sky_]

Trigger: if the devices go through a web proxy, can you add a rule to serve a local copy of http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html upon request?

[Trigger]

I've worked around it, but it is just absolutely retarded that you cannot use wifi unless you can access a 'success' webpage as a result...

there are plenty of 'internal only' wifi connections, which will now mean you have to do various workarounds to fix shit that was never broken

[sky_]

Oh totally.

In fairness, I see what they were trying to do with their captive portal detection - and in a lot of cases it'll help rather than hinder. I just think it's a broken design and it's a bit inexcusable to not have any native override functionality.

I humbly withdraw my vituperative remarks and beg the Honorable Poster's pardon.

IP5 is going to be very hard to get hold of on launch day.. Work ordered 4 from Vodafone about 3 weeks ago, got a call today to say we are only getting two on friday.

I heard for the 4S launch T/com got round 14,700 this time for the 5 only 4,200. Hope our two others turn up within 2 weeks

My Push message setting is set to "Service Loading = prompt" (I don't remember changing it, so I guess that's default), so does that mean if someone tries this on me, I'll be prompted if I want to load the service command?

[BaM]

Or you could just go to ... any web site with that tag in it and not have to worry about changing your push settings. Convenient.

Auto-executing USSD codes is an Android bug that was fixed in Jelly Bean
https://android.googlesource.com/pla...da28fedb80c388

In before Ab or Cyberbob makes yet another comment about the install base of JB

[Ab]

I'm sure that bugfix will be a source of great relief to the 0.01% of the... fuck!

I'm confused, is this a TouchWiz bug or an Android bug?

[BaM]

Android, apparently: https://dylanreeve.posterous.com/rem...t-just-samsung

[Ab]

Awesome. Oh well, I'm sure the manufacturers and carriers and Google will be super-ultra proactive in ensuring that Jelly Bean is pushed out to every possible handseBAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sorry.

You can buy external batteries for them. Some are cases. Not a bad idea.

I know it's a bit of a cracked record. But you gotta admit, 'we fixed it in the latest version' is only really a valid solution to the problem when the majority of your users can actually even USE the latest version.

[DrTiTus]

Or if you haven't heard of the concept of "backporting" a bug fix.

[p01s0n]

aside from maps, ios6 owns bones across the board, phone is faster for sure (ip4) and new white dialer is great.

"'we fixed it in the latest version' is only really a valid solution to the problem if you haven't heard of the concept of "backporting" a bug fix.

Well, I feel enlightened. Thanks DrTiTus.

[doppelgänger of someone]

Some people are stuck with Gingerbread because their phones' hardware simply can't run ICS or JB fast enough, not just because carrier/manufacturers are lazy.

Android: 1. OS for the poor, or 2. OS for the mass. You choose.

If you choose 1, turn to page 1 of this thread.
If you choose 2, THE END.

um android is the OS for that demographic where 'poors' overlaps with 'idiots'

Hence why logic.

[DrTiTus]

I run Froyo you insensitive clod.

FWIW: I tested the vulnerability using *06# (displays IMEI), and it worked. Tried running the 2 Degrees balance code, and it prompts. Installed exDialer which gives an option to prompt before running USSD codes, however the IMEI code still runs automatically. Not sure if they whitelist particular codes to auto run.

By installing exDialer, I had two dialers, so by not choosing either as the default, I get prompted regardless of whether it's the IMEI or a potentially unsafe code.

Thanks for the timely bugfix Google!
