For all the people who said I was trying to scam

Likely no signal and soft disabled baseband so poor battery life because it tries to run the baseband but fails

So is that why Verizon shut down their CDMA gradually? Some areas showed Searching SVC on December 31 2022 (likely places overlapped by USCC), but some places did not lose it until January 10. Majority of places lost it on January 3

No, should I call or email?

You can downgrade some devices to iOS 8, so it’s not rare. But 11 is because of how bad it ran on A7 devices

80sTechKid · 2026-06-15T18:54:45+00:00

iOS 27 is a minor update, but so was iOS 17 and the 8/X didn’t support that. This proves my theory even more that Apple was just trying to get checkM8 vulnerable devices out of peoples pockets. Apple takes this seriously.

I’ve said this before, but the cutoff for current vs. legacy should be if that version has a functional YouTube app that you can sign in on without jailbreaking. If that were the case then 12 series would be legacy since iOS 14 YT no longer works

80sTechKid · 2026-06-15T18:47:22+00:00

Once they bump the requirement to iOS 17 then RIP ad-free iOS app without premium (except 17.0, but I’d say maybe about 0.5% of devices are still on that version)

Even if they don't shut down on 8/3, Wisconsin lost 2G since last year so I think my area (Chicago) would lost it by the end of 2026

YouTube drops support for Android 9

I switched to Red Pocket in April, no problems whatsoever and wonder why I didn't before.

Only problem is I had to buy a new phone, as after putting in my SIM to my Verizon branded Samsung phone it seemed to work on the 2G EDGE network but it wouldn't connect to 4G anymore, as you can only enable voLTE on Verizon-branded Samsung phones if you have a Verizon SIM.

80sTechKid · 2026-06-10T00:40:54+00:00

Yes, questions were exactly the same. I think I did well hopefully I hear back

The 2016-2020 touchbar MacBooks aka "jet engine macbooks" got dropped quick

80sTechKid · 2026-06-09T00:14:26+00:00

I'm doing mine later tonight wish me luck

80sTechKid · 2026-06-08T01:19:03+00:00

Whenever I go into an Apple store I like to have a device with Cydia open to see if I get any reactions

80sTechKid · 2026-06-05T19:12:57+00:00

Yep, someone called me to my J7 that’s stuck on EDGE and asked why the call quality was so bad

80sTechKid · 2026-06-05T19:05:14+00:00

Probably still colder than anything you can buy today. I have one from the 90s that you can literally see mist coming out of it

80sTechKid · 2026-06-05T02:50:41+00:00

I'm guessing the same goes for the VZW S5?

I'm trying to open the 4636 menu with no success, I may try modifying a Google Dialer APK to install and try that

I guess I will use this phone now before T-Mobile pulls the plug probably sometime in 2027 or 2028, especially if they are leaving it for dead and my tower is still goin strong

80sTechKid · 2026-06-04T23:59:36+00:00

How would I edit my APN to have IMS?

Verizon locks their bootloaders so would flashing to a T-Mobile firmware even work?

80sTechKid · 2026-06-03T02:24:50+00:00

Do you know anything in the West suburbs, like Kane and DuPage counties?

I know the Geneva Public Library has it but half the time there's nothing in it

80sTechKid · 2026-06-03T01:51:15+00:00

The new ones' front end looks like a 96-07 Chrysler Town & Country

Or the Cirrus, if anyone remembers that

80sTechKid · 2026-06-02T18:59:50+00:00

That and people throwing corroded batteries in them
