| ![]() I am using an Iphone 5 and installed the swiftkey keyboard on it and have made it the primary keyboard under settings. But nevertheless every now and then I am shifted back to the default apple keypad while using whatsapp. I re-installed the keyboard but the problem has persisted. Any idea why is it happening. The phone becomes laggy and sort of freezes and then the default keyboard appears instead of the swiftkey one. |

Have you tried all the obvious things like using a different USB cable, plugging into a different USB slot, making sure the laptop is powered and not on battery, etc? If it isn't asking you if you want to trust the computer that is most likely why it won't show on the explorer. |

Even when the keyboard works reasonably ok, for certain sensitive things such as passwords and card information, iOS will force you to use the built in keyboard for security reasons. | |

In android, i liked it because of vibration feedback which is not possible in iOS. And predictive text is already present in default keyboard which is much faster and secure. So unless you need swiping (which is nearly useless unless you type only in english), I don't see much use of installing a slow, buggy 3rd party keyboard. | |

However am not using it these days, from the day I noticed it doing analytics on the words I type. In fact I've removed all third party keyboard from my iPhone. Privacy is turning out to be a luxury these days. | |

No its happening with all third party keyboards. I installed Gboard, google's keyboard, and even it started hanging similarly. Tried to re-install it but the problem persisted. Hence uninstalled it. Swiftkey freezes lesser compared to Gboard but still its freezing every now and then. I am not sure what the problem is. The phone is running on IOS 10 and even on the older version the problem was the same. |

With regards to blocking the IMEI number, i don't think Apple can help you with this. All you can do in this scenario is put the device in lost mode using iCloud. You could contact local law enforcement to report the loss, and provide IMEI number, but i doubt they would bother looking for the phone, considering how many devices get lost/stolen/misplaced on a daily basis. Also, they would bring up additional questions such as proving proof of ownership etc, and with you being in a different country at the moment, don't think this is going to help. Whenever someone tries to activate your phone even during the resetting process, it will prompt for the apple id pwd you used on the device for iCloud, so no one will be able to activate the phone and use it. What could happen is the phone getting dismantled to source parts. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I was struggling with my home media setup as I was unable to stream movies or content from my iphone to my TVs. I have a WD TV Live and a PS3 for playing media and a Synology NAS for my media content. I was wanting a way to stream web content to the TV easily from my iphone as I dont have AppleTV. I found some apps from Zappo that finally enabled me to do this. They have apps for sending media content from phones psuedo browser to Smart TVs via dedicated apps for the major brands (Samsung, LG, Sony etc) which are free. They also have another media player app which is paid but that can stream content from almost any source to a smart tv. This makes my WD TV Live Media player redundant for casual viewing/photos/home videos etc. Sharing this incase others have a similar need. |

Quick question for those who've done a screen repair on a iPhone6. Does it really cost 9~12k, (in the US Apple fixes it ~$120) and some service guys like ifix seem to be pushing a new ip6 for 24k. As it's my spouse's office phone, think expensing may work better in this case. Also Apple is completely MIA wrt service policies. When I spoke to Applecare, they told me it was upto each service center in India, to define service charges, replace plans etc. | |
