Has anyone tried using one of the services that refurbish and resell iPhones? Are there any particular recommendations and\or pitfalls, I'm after a refurbed iPhone 7 or 8. Thanks Rob

Hello guys, We are currently using Bromcom's Win-folder for e-reg, we are having problems with our PE department as they need to be able to take reg on the field. WiFi coverage is sorted but its not a good idear to take a 17" laptop in the middle of a muddy field. so we got some of bromcom's useless xpda's but i have had enough of them not working properly. as all of our PE staff have Iphones I thought we could use that, is there "an app for that" or a secret web interface Thanks, Pete,

Brand New iPhone 3GS 32GB on O2 in black. Not even opened yet. Im after £525.

Hey everyone, i have been asked to look nito creating a school planner application for both android and ios, I was wondering if anybody had any experience in doing so or if anyone could point me in the right direction. I have read into both XCode and Eclipse, but don't have a clue where to start. Hope to hear from you soon Cheers Edugeekers.

Anybody else using this: https://www.reflectionapp.com/ Just tried the demo and was frankly amazed. Very simple to install, no app needed for the iphone as just uses airplay and connected to it straight away, even using the camera was pretty much lag free! Be great as a wireless document camera. Certainly cheaper than AppleTVs for each classroom. The demo is only 10mins though so couldn't fully test it, I'll probably get a licence or two and test but just wondered if anybody else using it in classroom? Any known issues etc? Cheers Gaz

Help needed... I have an iPhone and mobile me. At home it works great but I got it to sync my work outlook and contacts to my phone and home as I forget things if not reminded all the time... My pc at school has the software installed but when it tries to connect it can't. I assume it's something to do with the pc being on the schools network. We run server 2003 and on yhgl. Could this be filtering, the Internet access or ??? Any ideas please as I've not heard anything back from our tech guys.

I've been using plusnet mobile for several years without any issues with my iPhone 8. Until a couple of weeks ago when I noticed that I was unable to use mobile data. I can make/receive calls but no data. The phone shows 3G next to the plusnet logo on the top left, where it used to show 4G. When I open an app that requires data it brings up the error "Could not activate mobile data network. Turn on mobile data or use Wi-Fi to access data." It works fine when connected to WiFi. I've tried various things based on recommendations from various google searches such as: Removing and re-inserting the SIM. Force restarting the iphone. Resetting Network Settings. Updating to iOS 15.7. Erasing all content and restoring from backup. Erasing all settings and setting up as a new phone. None of the above has made any difference. I was starting to think that there was something physically wrong with the phone when I tried my Wife's (SMARTY mobile) SIM in the phone and it worked straight away. So I tried contacting Plusnet support who, although being pleasant to talk to, follow a limited script which leads them to say that the phone must be faulty, even though I can prove it works fine with a different provider's SIM. I've run out of ideas so have ordered a Lyca mobile SIM to try. If it works, then great I get data back but I'd still like to know what the reason for it not working with Plusnet is... Any edugeek ideas?

Teams meetings that were recorded in the last 2 days on IOS they play without video (Safari) and crash and do not play in the Microsoft Stream App. although recordings still work on the desktop. Meetings recorded last week play on IOS just fine. Anyone else getting this, Microsoft asked me to try it in Chrome on IOS! (lazy, stupid q&a)

Hey guys! we are just about to order 20 ipad minis which will be booked out in groupes of 10. Any know of a flight case that would fit these in nicely? Also same for ipod touches... Appreciate any help, I have been looking but up until now I havent found anything I think is suitable.

I started writing this as a comment to the article linked below, but it got very painful really quickly, especially with no preview, so here it is in it's own thread: OK So initial feedback from showing the BETT video (EduGeek.net - BETT 2010 - Capita and Stone Computers Demo) of the SIMS app to staff and management has been very positive and i've been doing some digging, asking some questions of my account manager (who checked some things with Groupcall) and i thought i'd share the responses for anyone that is interested. Answers have been reworded slightly. I'd like a demo on my phone to test. I was hoping for this at BETT, but it was not offered. Is it possible to try it out? -> Demo link to follow Contact your account manager for info. If i install to my personal handset then decide to leave, can it be remote disabled? -> Each device has a unique installation and can be remotely locked/disabled. Follow up: I'd like for it to auto disable if not synched for x-days. It appears from the settings the different DBs have expiration times but i think that just controls when it next synchs. At secondary pricing I'd need 28 units minimum before it's worth getting a site licence, but i only want to try it out with 1/2/5 initially, how will that work if i later add many more? [secondary: £299 1st device, £99 after that. £2995 site. Primary: £195 1st device, £99 after that. £1995 site.] -> Once a number of individual school licences reach the equivalent of the site licence, the school’s licence will automatically be upgraded to a site licence. [therefore cost is capped.] Follow up: What affect if any is there for a dual Primary/Secondary site, where most of my students are Primary (2/3). Usually new modules require installation / training, at additional cost. What is the hit? -> Training is optional since Emerge is so intuitive. Remote training can be provided if desired. On-line training materials are available and will be sent to existing customers on receipt of payment. Groupcall is in the process of creating a range of training videos I'd like the nurses to have access too. When will medical / behaviour be available? -> A number of profiles are currently available, however we can add / create bespoke profiles as requested. The additional of medical information is available now. Groupcall intends to add the facility to write back behaviour information in the next release (due April 11) Assessment information is currently under review, and we’re hopeful that it’ll be added before the new academic year (Sept 11), however this is yet to be specified or confirmed. Can one device be used with multiple logins, i.e. I can have a shared iPad for Heads of Year to use? -> Yes it is possible to set this up using the Emerge management console which will be installed for the school to manage. Any idea on timeframe for other devices i.e. Android, Nokia, etc. -> Not defined yet - but hopefully an Android app will be available in the next few months, followed by WM& and then Java. ============================ Further queries and thoughts posed: iPod Touch 4 is currently around £150 here for an 8GB. I think 3rd gen is cheaper still. Will it work on that? Is the pricing annual? Or is there an on going cost? The demo, appeared to have a limit of around 50 students on a search, but i may be wrong. When searching it finds the character / combo in any part of the name, so 'al' returns 'sally' and 'wallis'. That could be a limitation for me! Can it access UDGs so when used for a school trip all info is in one list? Any recommendations on management software to lock down usage of the devices? On this i'm thinking one of the synch charge cases / racks seen at BETT2011 would do the job. They could all be restored from backup to prevent rubbish being downloaded. Any useful apps though could be added for all. I'll be looking at other threads regarding this, as i'm sure it'll be an issue when kids get given iPads; dont want them playing Angry Birds! (Unless it's in Physics!)

First impressions = not impressed... thoughts?

Evening, I've had a bit of a palaver this weekend. My iPhone updated to 3.1.3 OS but my phone was jailbroken and unlocked so it wiped this out. 3.1.3 OS also updates the baseband so I was in real trouble. I spent ages downgrading to 3.0 OS, flying round the internet working out how to downgrade the baseband which I managed to do with a version of Fuzzyband not on Cydia yet (had to manually insert files using iPhone Explorer). Then upgraded to 3.1.2 using a activated custom image (bypassing all errors with a bit of software)and unlocked with UltraSn0w. Now my iPhone won't sync with my applications on iTunes and if I add an application on the phone through AppStore, they just get wiped off when I try and sync with iTunes. When I tick all the applications I want to sync, they just untick again after syncing is complete. Can anyone help?! Thanks Scott

I am looking at upgrading from current phone in october when my contract runs out. I am torn between the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S5. If anyone can give me any advice on either phones that would nudge me more towards buying. I know the iPhone 6 isn't out yet but I imagine it will just be very similar to the 5s with some improvements and of course the larger screen.

Staff access Staffmail on their iPhones. It does not need a password when accessing it other than entering the phone's code first. But I am asked - is there any way to enforce a Staffmail password to access Staffmail after the phones code has been entered.?
