S line is a piece of crap cheap case that if your device breaks you only spent £2 so what the hell. I use a Tech21 case and they are supposed to be pretty good.


You could search other cases but these are pretty minimal.

This is what has saved mine:



£2.99 off eBay!

is it just me or is ios nothing like as easy use as android

Ant

Think it's what you are used to tbh, when I've used android I find it a ball ache to get around

I'd recommend a tempered screen protector they're brilliant

dpb

Got one

Shaun

As said.... it's probably what you're used to. I find Android not as slick and slightly cumbersome in comparison to iOS. iOS is my every day and Android is occasional use though.

Personal phone is IP5 and work phone is a HTC android. I lasted 3 months with the work phone before I got pig sick of it. Horrendous phone with an operating system which made me want to launch it out of the window.
The work phone is now a non smart (or even remotely clever) Sony Ericsson which is years and years old from the back of a drawer from home.
Apparently we are going to be given a Windows phone soon. I've never even seen one but surely it can't be any worse than Android?

dpb

Hmm I had Sony Ericsson ray , was great i thought and

And low and behold Apple seem to have pinched the flicking through past and present screens

dpb

Girlfriend had Windows phone , very slick, but not enormously clever

I debated BlackBerry leap , might have gone for it if the possessor wasn't 5 years old

dpb

Wow !

the bubble seems to have burst http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/...gain/77290488/

Cripes , Its a good thing I'm not a heavy user

30% battery by 5pm today ...!

JackClark

You must be doing something, I run tracking full time and use mine a lot, lasts all day easily and it's well over a year old.

Brun

Well we did get Windows phones and I've not even come close to launching it. Way, way, way better than the shower of ****e that is Android. I wouldn't jump ship from IOS but I'd be happy to have one if Apple went bust

dpb

Well I spent about an hour surfing on 3g
Would that have done it?
Probably an hour calling
Otherwise didn't even use Bluetooth streaming like I do during the week for several hours a day

Battery Life improves noticeably by about 5th charge. Probably, cause by then its finished updating all the apps.

dpb

5th month ?
Iv had it since December

JackClark

Bad signal area will drain any phone. You probably forgot to charge it the night before.

dpb

its not a good signal that's for sure

I def did charge it the night before

Same here, great cases!

dpb

i bought a rugged armor in the end


A curious thing - I put phone onto airplane mode overnight ,cos I wanted to save battery /didn't want to plug it in

Every other phone iv had uses no battery at all like this

But this ones used 10% in about 4 hours . What is it doing !!!??

I've stopped recommending those Armoured cases as they drop your level of signal.

dpb

my signal in basement hasn't been good

id put it down to Vodafone , but maybe ill try removing case !

dpb

How is it that cards put into wallet have apparently disappeared whist iv been in France , not that there was anywhere use em

Does this happen everytime theres an update ??

Ive had mine for about a month now,

Overall i like it ,

Still have a few niggles, i miss the functionality of the LLama app on android, it was nice to have Bluetooth turn off automatically at a certain location & time. as well as putting the phone to silent.

Yes we have some of the functions on Ios, but it's a basic time / date no 5 /2 functionality

And itunes, still struggling with it, It still wont pull stuff from other sources that I've ripped from.

I point it to the containing folder and it doesn't see stuff lol .

if i go to the dedicated folder in i tunes, guess what i have two of them, so i either have to duplicate stuff... or cant be arsed...

I use clementine to do my music in , and spotify for playback, as the interface for itunes is so small i either hit other functions or end up playing the same track over and over again

no biggies, its still way better than the Z3

Glad I didn't get the iphone6

girlfriends touch id with finger seems given up already after couple months ! on hers

Brun

Well now the time has come for me.
My current iP5 is nearly 4 years old and has had heavy use, multiple droppings and has never had any protection. It now intermittently turns off then back on 2 or 3 times a day so time to move on.
I've always held back from getting a new one as iOS9 is the same on whatever device it's applied to regardless of what anyone says so I've never seen the point of a new phone.
Tomorrow I will mostly be getting a 6S although I was tempted by the 4" SE but as it looks almost identical to my current phone I figured **** that.

On a side note, it took me 30 minutes and speaking to 3 different Asian Gentlemen just to acquire my Pac code from 3mobile.
I was "Very" clear from the start of the call that I was leaving to try another network and they just rattled on and on and on. I've never experienced anything like it. They even said they would cut my unlimited everything bill from £28 to £9 but my flat no to that saw them dish out the code

dpb

Id have gone with 3 given choice , especially for 9 quid a month !?

my first smart phone had 3.5 " screen , in 2007, but that's too small in modern world

Brun

In fairness it was a good offer but I am just fed up with lack of signal.
In large buildings the thing is simply an ornament so even at £9 a month, it's a very expensive ornament.
Either way, my current phone is knackered so I need a new one anyway so the £9 was never going to happen.

dpb

I wonder if jacks iphone 6 has touch id problems as well

JackClark

Not once. Any time a friend has mentioned it not working very well I've rescanned their fingerprints and all's well.
