Iphone playing up since announcement of new IPhone 6 ?
« on: September 14, 2014, 11:18:16 am »
Had the same "playing up issues" when the 5s came out last year and the battery on mine has been running down to under 20% during the day when i am not using it , this happened last year and also emails and messages not working right and other apps slow to work or even open .

Now that was a few days ago and my phone has been on for at least 3 hours , i have turned it off and back on again , i have had emails (100 +)  i have already had come again and also messages . I have also had messages sent 2 days ago coming to me for the first time . But the battery is still showing 100% which was how it was prior to 9th Sept !

Whats been going on and anyone else had similar in the last 5 days or so ? Mine is an iphone4 which has worked perfectly apart from last years around this time just before i go on holiday (same last year)

I swear my 4s has gone weird!!!

Had quite a few app crashes, yesterday my emails totally disappeared. Also the battery has dropped very quickly on a couple of occasions this week. Just rebooting seemed to fix it. Maybe they're trying their very best to push us on to the new model.

Only got to last me until Friday as I've ordered a 6  :drool:


Oh also my imessage seemed to get blocked up until the reboot

^ I'm a 4S owner and whilst I wholly acknowledge that the iPhone is no longer the best phone on the market I cannot be arsed to change my life over to a new phone system. So I too will be getting a 6, well in the knowledge that is won't be the best phone.

In terms of the issues you're describing, I too have noticed my phone has crashed a couple of times in the last few days. Put it down to the fact that it's a 3 year old phone that has been abused tho.

It would be good to hear what Apple have to say about it as two friends have also had nearly exactly the same issues as me . Do they do some sort of updates on the phone without us actually asking for them ? I know some apps update automatically.

Mine's fine.

If you're looking for conspiracy, we all have just been pushed a sh*te album - it'd be easy to package up a mischievous bug within it.
Sideways yo!

Mines fine. You think the grass is greener on the other side? Unless you go for a phablet, they suffer equally poor battery issues. Let us not forget what we are asking these phones to do for us. I hammer my iPhone 5S, usually have to charge it twice a day with an iPad charger for faster charging.

My 4s has been playing up for a month or so with battery drain or when I plug it in within seconds it's gone from 3% to 20% and signal and wifi reception has been playing up but, it is a 3yr old phone so it's to be expected. Especially as it's going to use more battery to run newer iOS versions.

Aren't apple batteries rated for 2 yrs after which you have to replace them?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

How does an ipad charger work faster than another apple charger ? I have never used my ipad air charger .
