It's going somewhere...How do I find out how much space my photos are taking up?

iTunes with your phone plugged in

HOLY SHIT!! How is Yelp and EverNote taking up that much space? That is strange. 146 MB for Facebook? WTF did it do, DL the whole website? I don't know what Blokus and some of those other apps you have, but I don't understand how they are using that much storage. ANy of them!

Try adding movies at 1GB a pop. My wife also has A LOT of pictures and videos on her phone. She had a 32GB iPhone 4 and it was close to getting full. She now has a 64GB iPhone 5 so she should be good until the iPhone 6. 🙂

Well can someone else post up their stats so I can compare? I'm sure I'm. OT the only one with those apps...

Still can't figure out the photos but I also have 1400 pics on my phone.

That's cool, but I'm sure you don't carry an iPad wherever you go. I think of an iPhone as a swiss army knife. It has anything you want to access as a moments notice. If you are in a doctor's waiting room, hook up some earphones and check out some shows.

Just open iTunes with your phone plugged in and select your phone. Its right there on the bottom of the screen with a meter bar and each category of items is color coded

Agreed. The doctors office, and the drivers license office and so forth, thats where you have your phone. You take your iPad or laptop when you're getting on a plane though and use that instead.

To each their own. I HATE pulling out a laptop on a plane. WAY too cramped. Before the iPad I used a PSP for movies with some sound isolating earphones and it was great. Now with an iPhone or iPad, even better. I'd never use a laptop on a plane for entertainment. Horrible, just horrible experience. If that was the only thing I had, I'd rather just sit there or take a nap instead.

That's where I got the above pic - Can't figure out how to figure out photos from that screen though. (and now I'm at work with no iTunes)

Pre iPad I would use my MacBook Air for that sort of thing, but the iPad is better. And no, I don't take my iPad with me everywhere, but if I am waiting around somewhere for a while, i would just read and listen to music instead of watching a movie/show, but that is me.

Yeah, I am 6'4" and so in most instances it just isn't practical for me to use a laptop if I'm flying coach. For me travel is when the iPad comes into its own. I really don't use it much at home, but on the road it's an unbeatable package for movies, reading books and magazines, the Web, email, games, and light work.
 
Anyone have a weird bug where your data signal just will not send or receive anything at all, even though you have full bars, all connections just time out. Toggling airplane mode on and off fixes it instantly.

That would happen to me often on AT&T.

Anyone else getting hand cramps from the 5? 😛

Yea, still getting used to the bigger screen and its sometimes hard to reach corners of the screen even though I have big hands. I wish there was a swipe function for web browsing so you can go back/forward web pages instead of going for the upper corner (Chrome) or bottom left (Safari).

Atomic Web Browser has that (and other gestures), but unfortunately, I'm stuck with Safari right now, because AWB hasn't updated for the iPhone 5's resolution. It just looks too awkward to use it as I definitely notice the fact that the app doesn't use the whole screen.
 
It seems like my home button is kind of loose, its a little annoying, im not gonna lie. Also, i saw a scratch so tiny i dont think human eyes could see it (and its only visible in the sun), but im not happy about it (i dont really care either lol). Prob call em or send an email or something letting them know in case i want to exchange later.
 
I went to put on a screen protector last night only to find that there is a very fine scratch on my screen already, luckily it's so small I can't see it at all unless I hold my phone under a really bright light at a certain angle but it's kind of annoying knowing it's there.

Put on a skinomi protector for front and back and then slapped it into a Poetic Case. I hope there isn't a scratch on there.
