Here's an Idea...
The Suit Jacket needs to be redesigned...
We noticed a problem with the Suit Jacket when we saw Stephen Colbert suits...
Here is a guy that has enough money to buy any suit he wants, of course he wasn't able to because they wanted to relate to the millennial so they tried putting him in a fitted suit which looks like SHIT!!!
He of course felt the same about it and started customizing the suit a bit to get away from the skinny look...
Since we're on the subject, the skinny suit leaves the legs so short it's what most people call out, what, you waiting for a flood...
They ride so high they almost look like Capris, absolutely horrible, but that's not why we're here...
The Suit Jacket's button is in the wrong place and the lapels need to be extended to hide the end of the tie...
If you look at the jacket at the buckle it fans out and shows the end of the tie, the tucked in shirt and looks like crap...
Plus with the button as high as it is it looks like they are getting choked out and wearing a little jacket, it just doesn't look right at all and we can't believe that look has lasted this long...
No one ever uses the second button and if they do it looks even weirder, so no one buttons that button, but that's where the lapels need to come down to...
That's why the double breast suit looks so much better than the standard business suit jacket, because it's a finished look, the business suit looks...wrong...
Think about it, because it's just an idea...

The 11.1 udpate from Apple...
Well we have updated our phone to the latest iOS which is 11.1 and we have updated our iTunes to 12.7.1.14, we updated iTunes first, did a backup then updated our iOS....
We have already noticed a significant battery loss on our device which concerns us about the upgrading process for iOS...
It looks as though we may have to reset our phone and install as new then restore from iTunes, but we're holding out just in case...
The update is 2.46gb and takes about 10 minutes to download and install...
There has been an issue with the update with the letter I which we didn't encounter, but know about a fix Apple is recommending...
If you type I you might get a Capital A instead, kind of weird, but the workaround is this:
Go to Settings/General/Keyboard/Text Replacement, once there put a Capital I on the left and a smaller case i on the right, supposedly this fixes this issue...
A little recap for you...
In our last post we mentioned that we lost our music from iTunes and on our Phone, we have since solved the mystery to why this happened...
When we reinstalled our computer we backed up our phone first, then we reinstalled and once we were done we backed up our phone again on the new OS, however, we relocated our music...
We moved our music to a second drive and when we did this, iTunes lost the path to the music and didn't backup our music on the phone, which is strange to us...
Music is Data, Apple, believe it or not, but music is considered Data, and as such, we thought was being backed up...
Apparently not, if you lose your music on your computer, you'll lose your music on your device as well, that's not good Apple...
sidenote: What is the definition of Irony, a Music Program that has the ability to backup that doesn't backup the music, now that's ironic :-D
Thankfully we are the King of Backups so we were covered in the case of a shotty backup program...
We relied on one backup once, but once burned, twice shy, but in our book, thrice shy...
Backup, Backup then Backup up again...
We'll let you know what we find out about this latest battery issue we're experiencing...
**UPDATE**
A new problem has been discovered with the 11.1 update and Emoji's...
We noticed that Apple has added some new Emoji's to our list and none of them work, they just come up as a ? that's a question mark...
You gotta love Apple's sense of humor, we do :-D...
Not all phones are experiencing this Emoji issue...
Battery issue is happening on multiple phones...
**UPDATE**
Okay, iTunes and this 11.xx update is a Glitchy little B-AHHCH, so we have figured out the best way to reset your phone...
BACKUP YOUR PHONE FIRST, connect it to iTunes, click the Phone icon in iTunes, go to summary, then on the right in the Backups Box choose backup now...
Once you have backed up your phone, UNPLUG IT FROM YOUR COMPUTER/DEVICE...
Reset your phone from the phone, DO NOT, connect it to your computer or device and use iTunes, just reset it on its own...
Choose Erase All Content and Settings and follow the prompts...
When the phone reboots you'll choose your language, and blah blah, but importantly, make sure you choose "Setup New Phone" connect to your internet, set your password blah blah...
Wait until all the Apps load on your phone first before you go to the next step...
Okay, everything is loaded, looking good, now NOW, plug in your phone to your device/computer and start up iTunes if it doesn't pop up automatically...
Once iTunes recognizes your phone you'll be presented with two questions, one is Setup as New and the other is restore from Backup, choose Restore From Backup...
What is the difference between “restore backup” and “restore iPhone” in iTunes?
Answer:
Restore Backup: restores the contents of an iPhone backup performed sometime in the past. It restores content and stored data such as app settings, home-screen layouts, etc. Saved account login information is restored if the backup was encrypted.
Restore iPhone: wipes the iPhone of all data & apps and reinstalls iOS, leaving the iPhone reset to factory settings. The iPhone is left with just the latest iOS and the Apple default apps.
The phone will reboot and will give you a progress indicator of its status as it restores your data and won't take too long...
You're done, that simple, however, our music didn't come back again...
The path to our music was remembered in iTunes, but for some reason iTunes will not backup your music...
We really don't remember having this problem when we saved our music on the local drive and a few iTunes versions ago, but now it just won't restore the music...
It'll be in your iTunes profile so just drag it into your device, you're done...
For some reason, we had a problem with using iTunes to reset the phone, it really screwed up, we had vertical lines on our phone, we thought it was ruined, we did it three times and it finally finished, but it was ugly and we were not confident with the load so we reinstalled it with the process above and it was perfect, with the exception of the music, everything went well. Our Battery is working well and all of our emojis are working properly...
There is something wrong with just updating to the new OS and the only way things would work properly, is doing what we did above...and that's a fact!
sidenote: Make sure you go to the App Store to see if you have any updates for your apps...

Our Call To Apple...
Was a much different experience than that of the call we made to Microsoft...
In order to talk to Microsoft you need to be a Gold Reseller of their products, in order to talk to Apple, you just need to be a customer that buys their products...
We were quite pleased with our experience we had with Apple and their attempt to resolve our battery issue...
Without any adieu, we'll just let you know that our Battery is working properly again, but what we did to fix it is still a mystery...
First they wanted us to note where the battery was currently and note the time, then they wanted us to put our phone into Airplane mode from "Settings" then put the iPhone into sleep by the Sleep button, DO NOT let it go into sleep...
Must be left in sleep mode for 4 hours, then they wanted us to take screen shots from setting/battery top to bottom for the last 24 hours then the last 7 days with the Clock Icon Toggled...
sidenote: we really don't know what they meant by toggling the clock icon, we just assumed they wanted it enabled...
Come to find out, it didn't matter, because they never asked us for the screenshots, so all that was for nothing...
They did ask us for the Battery Usage and the Standby in setting/battery...
They mentioned to us that Apple has changed the way Google Maps searches by using Satellites and your settings need to be changed to "While Using"...
In fact they wanted to make sure that all apps were changed to either While Using or Never, but when we went to change our settings only Google Maps was set to Always, the rest were While Using or Never...
So right there, just by changing this setting could be the reason our battery was being used much more after the 11.0.3 update, however, we didn't stop there...
Then we were told that we we're going to reset the phone back to a new phone which meant we were going to do a backup...
Well we thought twice about it, and told them that we already have a backup and we really didn't want to overwrite it, but we did anyway, just to be non-objective...
iTunes by default only saves one backup, in order to have multiple backups you need to copy the backups to ~library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/...
We only had one backup, so we overwrote our backup and are regretting we did, but will explain later why we regret that...
We of course connected our iPhone to our computer and after we did our backup we reset our phone and set it up as a New Phone from the iTunes menu...
You will be given two options from iTunes, restore from backup or Setup as a new Phone, we chose setup as new phone...
This way you don't have any apps loaded on the phone, only what the iPhone comes with, so you won't have your contacts, email, text messages etc etc...
We were now allowed to charge the phone, which was fine with us because we had no one to contact or reply to because our phone was empty, so it sat and charged...
We came back to the phone in about two hours and our battery was charged, so we unplugged and stared at the phone for a few minutes just staring at the battery symbol...
We decided right then and there that the battery wasn't going to go down, because we weren't using it :-D ...
The screenshots we made before the reset...
Messages is the highest usage of battery hands down, 44% is what we noticed in the 7 day view, Chrome was 2nd at 11%, and we don't even use Chrome, Safari was 9% our primary browser and Google Maps was 4%...
On the 24 hour view Chrome was at 33%, Messages 25% and Google Maps was 13%...
Currently it makes more sense, Messages 71%, settings 18% Safari 3% no Chrome, no Google Maps...
We went all day on Monday with nothing installed on our phone and the battery didn't dwindle down, but we didn't use it, so hard to tell...
So that night we did a restore from Backup which put all of our information and apps back on the phone with one exception, we lost all of our music...
When we looked in iTunes all of our playlists were gone and all of our music was gone off of our phone as well, but we didn't have time to troubleshoot...
We used the phone all day, made sure settings were set to never or while using, but we didn't have to change anything, they were already set to that...
We went all day, texted people, called people and the battery was hardly touched all day...
Now don't worry we have all of our music still on our computer, but it's all gone from iTunes and iPhone, which means we have to add it all again, fun fun...
sidenote: We just want to note the Advisor backed up our phone, not us, when WE backed up our phone all of our data came back, which means...we're still the Backup King :-) ...
We have no idea why we lost our music and are contacting Apple as we write this to thank them and let them know that our battery is stable, but we lost our music in the process...
We don't want to troubleshoot why we lost our music with Apple, but we think that it's pertinent to the incident that they know this happened...
sidenote: We still have iMessages disabled...
So there it is, that's what we did, and are truly unsure what exactly fixed the battery usage issue, but you can take it to the bank, that it's fixed...and that's a fact!
Oh PS: 11.1 will be coming out soon, basically 11.0.01/02/03 rolled up in 1 11.1 ;-)

It's Time...
It's time to update your iPhone to 11.0.3 if you haven't already...
It's changed a bit, but I think you'll like the new look...
All the phones have had one issue or another or another and another, but it's time...
iPhone 7 has seen a lot of issues, but it's mainly been all the older phones that have had the most of the problems, and like I said, the 5s would feel it the most and it has...
Although, it's not the case anymore, and you can feel confident to upgrade all your devices and you'll be happy you did, because your devices will be a little faster...
We do recommend though, that you tether your device to your computer and NOT use the WiFi connection...
We've heard that the bulk of the problems with the 5s version was due to the WiFi update, so connect your device to your computer...
sidenote: Make sure you check the App Store for installed apps that you have installed that are compatible with 11.0.3...
Remember computers?
Well it's the reason why you still need a computer, for situations like this...
Remember, Backup, Backup then Backup Again, make sure you backup your device first before updating...
Computers are still relevant and so is Apple...and that's a fact!
**UPDATE**
We've noticed a little bit more battery usage than before, but not enough to be concerned with updating...
More than likely they will be coming out with 11.0.4 soon to wrap up the battery usage issue, but just thinking out loud ;-)...
You'll like the new look and the increased speed...
**UPDATE**
Noticed today that the battery usage was higher than usual, our guess is they are collecting data in the background, but again, just thinking out loud based off of experience...
anyway, try turning off your Bluetooth and your WiFi under settings if you're not using it during the day...
Here are some other tips that Apple has put out for you to maximize your battery life:
Maximize Battery Usage
FYI: Apple is saying that people are just using more of their battery somehow, even though they haven't changed their routine...
Really Apple? Okay, just a tip for you Apple, in order to diagnose the solution to a problem you need to figure out what has changed recently...OH YEAH 11.0 CAME OUT :-D DUHHH...
There's your problem Apple, don't blame the end user, that's so tech...
Gordon Kelly from Forbes has a laundry list of end users complaining about all the issues they've had with the 11.xxx update(s)...
The problem that we are seeing that some of these errors are getting pushed into all the updates and now the 11.3 update as well...
The only problem with the 11.3 update is the higher battery usage, other than that the OS is functioning properly, better than it ever has before...
It's fast, and we love the new look, but are a little bummed out about the battery drainage, but we're still confident that this was the update to do...
We're confident that they'll be getting this fixed real soon, right Apple...
**UPDATE**
Well if you haven't figured it out yet, the problem is in the texting...
The biggest drainage of the battery is in the texting, and it's recommended to turn off iMessage and use only SMS...
...go to settings, messages and disable iMessage...
SMS is Green iMessage is Blue which is only writing or touch to make symbols, sketch tap or heartbeat, so nothing special really...
We noticed a significant improvement with our battery preservation...

Uninstall ALL Piriform Products...
If you have been using CCleaner and Defraggler from Piriform you'll want to uninstall them...
"Article"
Avast now owns Piriform and you might not know it but they've allowed their systems to get infected, and they're good at that...
Avast is not a good program and now the proof is in their own pudding...
What's worse, is that it went undetected, that's right, UNDETECTED for a MONTH before they noticed it...
We coined an old saying, "if you give the keys and codes to the robbers, you'll come home to an empty house"
The problem here is that you've allowed the malware to get into your system by a "Trusted" program so, you've given them the access...
At this point it's recommended to reinstall your computer/devices from scratch and change all your passwords, we've already done it...
Don't worry about malware getting into pictures or documents, but you'll want to download all new .exe...
Don't use any .exe installs that were on your system, download a fresh version...
Load only new drivers either from the MFG websites, or from you reinstall disk, then upgrade to the latest...
Your system is compromised, you can count on it, and if you continue to use your system in this state you'll be setting yourself up for failure...
You don't know what information they are gathering, what keystrokes they are recording and if you're logging into bank accounts, oooh, it's just a matter of time, not if, when rule will apply...
Not that reinstalling your computer was a big deal before, but it's even easier now, plus with mobile devices you'll be able to stay online while you reload your system, so really no down time...
