Reminders not showing up notification as widget? Used 'edit' and reminders arent there? Set a couple and I would really like to see them. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

If the phone is by my ear and the proximity sensor turns the screen off and I push the sleep/wake button, nothing happens.
If the screen is on while using the phone's earpiece, pushing the sleep/wake button will end the call.
If I am on speaker phone, pushing the sleep/wake button will end the call.
Edit: on speaker phone, the screen will turn off without ending the call. I swear yesterday it was ending the call. I guess you can't turn the screen off when not using speakerphone?

When on speakerphone, or using a headset or some sound system (wired or bluetooth), then the sleep button should just turn the screen off, when the regular earpiece is being used then it will end the call. The idea is that the screen will already be off when you are using the earpiece because the screen will be by your ear and the proximity sensor will turn it off on its own.
Ahhh!! Thank you so much! It was driving me crazy not seeing the times!
I've been absent from iOS for 2 years so it's been a little bit of a learning curve.
do i need apps? shouldn't it just work? my old note3 just worked again what am i missing or better yet what do i need??
Android has a built in app to play mkv files. Unfortunately iOS does not. You need to get an app that can play mkv files, you could search for mkv in the app store.
Hi,
How can I access a picture I have saved in Finder on my iMac to iCloud Drive from my iPhone 6 Plus?
It won't show up in Pictures on my iPhone.
Thanks.

Locking the phone...

Number Password?
Letter Password?
Pattern?
Fingerprint?

With the 5s and above, you can use your fingerprint (Touch ID) along with either a four digit password, or a longer alpha numeric password. Pattern passwords are Android, not iOS.
thanks i will give that a try and post my findings tomorrow
ok that worked. so now i have another stupid question for the members.
i have an adapter that plugs into the charge port of my iphone6 and the other end has a usb port. but when i plug in something to that port like say a memory stick. my iphone doesn't see it. so i ask the members again what am i doing wrong or what do i need so that i can read the memory stick?
also i would like to transfer files back and forth from phone to memory stick.
We really cannot do that directly on iOS, but the workaround is to download an app called Transfer.
Transfer allows you connect your iOS device to your desktop and transfer files back-and-forth and you can then transfer from the desktop to your USB stick.
I have had great success with pictures I'm not sure about other files.
Automatic Downloads question
I have automatic downloads turned OFF, for everything. I used to have them turned on, but then I got an ios update downloaded using my mobile data (on my ipad, via my personal hotspot, blowing my data limit out of the water!!)
My phone doesn't do this, presumably because the phone knows it's using mobile data instead of wifi, but when the ipad is connected this way it does not.
But, even with auto updates all turned off on my ipad it still downloads ios updates automatically when it's plugged in and on wifi. Regardless of where it's getting it's "wifi" from.
Is there any way to stop this? Having to turn off my personal hotspot all the time relies on me remembering (not very reliable) and is a pita.
I would much prefer a setting to be able to control this for me!
thanks in advance

Oh... I would also love a way to be able to not allow my computer to use my phone data, just because I connect it with a cable! Is there a way to block that?
thanks

Didn't find a mention of this in this thread and I must be blind because I cannot find the setting for Siri raise to activate/talk (or whatever that feature was called) in iOS8. In iOS7 I used to be able to just place the phone up to my face and siri would activate, it was handy for places where having siri over the speakerphone was inappropriate... any help is appreciated.
Thanks and that's too bad.
Yeah, it's not really a replacement, at least not to me. Also 'Hey Siri' can only be used while plugged in.
