Eh ??

As it was , I took it in 1 month after warranty was up ( 13 months old), he said it he'd do full reset and maybe it would be all right

2nd time took it back , he said it was clearly fubbard - wasn't even picking up network in shop

And that ANYWAY even it theyd discovered something wrong with it first time I brought it in they wouldn't be liable cos it was out warranty

JackClark

You need to brush up on your consumer rights.

dpb

If I'd bought the phone from Apple sim free , it would be indeed be straight fwd claim

But I didn't , I bought through third party with 24 month contract

dpb

What do you make this then

yesterday , I got the best network 4g reception- inc music streaming ... , in place I usually have to move phone around judiciously to get anything

Today from middayish , absolutely zero, No service

its not the network cos put sim in another phone and its ok.

done iPhone network reset - but doesn't alter anything

JackClark

It's the network.

dpb

I don't understand how this could be the case if that particular sim works ok in another phone.

There's also nothing showing on my network EE as problematic.



It really is as though the phone had a * Tough* day Saturday , and now it's exhausted lol

Just totally capricious

dpb

Only works on home Wi-Fi presently

JackClark

Phones don't self heal.

dpb

yeah your right

must been brief flurry before it finally keeled over ( all bit bizarre though )

I suppose ill carry it around along with 50 quid android until this sim only contract is over

then start again

dpb

Popped sim back in iPhone out of curiosity .

Made it find networks rather than automatic , and its back working now.

I did all the same fiddling over the last few days before giving up

It'll drive me mad this thing.

JackClark

Bad sim.

dpb

Sim is fine in other phone

I Spoke too soon , it's mucking around again . It'll be fine 30 mbs download , flick from page to page on internet, then put in your pocket/ turn it different direction for couple minutes and its completely lost - No signal

I believe it's designed for 4g signal, and if it doesn't get it then no use
Also that it has fault switching wi-fi to mobile signal

ffs dpb the iphone is fubar, its obviously an intermittent fault, probably with the chipset or another hardware component.

dpb

yes I wont bother anybody again , but it was only really 3/4 way through this thread that its been established it actually Was the phone not any particular network

JackClark

Should have spent more time telling Apple and less boring us.

dpb

Why is it iPhone wont allow you see details of photo you've just taken , unlike Android,
Without plugging into your mainframe

JackClark

iPhone 6s with a real hardware issue, instant replacement.

dpb

Bought off Apple themselves

JackClark

Not sure that matters if it's a hardware issue.

It was quite funny, there was no bluetooth, couldn't even turn it on, restored to new device, same issue, restored back up, same issue. Went to store, waited for Genius - who was OK - bluetooth was available!!! WTF! Looked at me like I was swinging the lead then ran the diagnostic scans anyway, which came back with a hardware fault... phew!

Took longer than expected but overall a good experience. Some nice new home security products in the store which I almost bought.

dpb

I thought you had a 6 plus ....

JackClark

i do and it's still great. This was a friend's Mum.

dpb

Is it possible a phone is set up/sold on premise working on 4g best , solely ? , maybe American market

Havnt thrown it yet - it works as you'd hope with 4g

JackClark

Not really, there's a problem with your local mast, same as I said on page 1.

dpb

Id like think that was the case, but its happened other places too - maybe they also had bad masts . Iv also swapped networks btw !

I can hardly believe I wouldn't have heard other people in the area complain also !

Wow are you still harping on about this, are you a masochist or something? Which bit of its more than likely got a hardware fault didn't you get?

JackClark

The bit where they tested the hardware in the store and found it was fine.

dpb

Well the first guy found it was fine , then second guy 6 months later said was totally fubbered! - I'm not sure if we even got down to whether it was hardware or software with the second guy pretty irrelevant anyway

I Had planned to keep it way beyond the contract , on sim only deal.

No jack its fooked.

JackClark

And the replacement is the same, no way they just told you "tough".
