Haven't kept up with this thread for awhile, but since 8.1.3 (at least after then sometime) my 6 Plus seems to be having WiFi issues again. I am connected to my home network (Cisco Meraki MR18) but there's no or very slow connectivity to the device. I reset network settings a week or so ago and it worked fine for a few days, but it's acting up again. My iPad Air 2 on the same iOS release has no issues .. anyone seeing this? Running a ping from the Meraki dashboard to the device nets me 400+ ms pings. Edit : Looks like this has been covered very well here : https://medium.com/@mariociabarra/wifried-ios-8-wifi-performance-issues-3029a164ce94 mAlfunkti0n fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Feb 17, 2015 |

For what it's worth the wlan on my iPhone has been poo poo too, though my computers are unaffected.

Are the Iphone 6 displays weaker than previous Iphones? I got my iphone 6 a week ago. It fell off my desk in a protective case and the front screen looks like it has been hit by a hammer. My Iphone 5 was dropped many times with very little damage ever done to it.

It's glass, it breaks randomly in mysterious ways when it takes an impact. Might be fine a dozen collisions, might spiderweb at the first stray glance. On average the screen should be just as durable as the iPhone 5.

To be fair, larger pieces of glass to break easier than small ones. I'm certainly more careful with my 6+ than I was with my 4.

I was wondering if the rounded edges make the glass easier to break? Googling around it sounds like phone 6 is very likely to shatter if it lands face down, even if the glass doesn't hit anything and the phone is in a protective case.

Anyone have experience with DIY battery replacements on iPhone 5? Where can I get a reliable battery to put in it?

It doesn't qualify, unfortunately. I would be more willing to consider Apple's price if I didn't have to mail it in and not have it for that time. They're too far away to do it conveniently and the AASP in town wants to send the phone to another depot to do the job, which is frankly retarded. There is a guy in town who replaces phone batteries but the vibe I got off him was really sketch. There are replacement batteries being sold with 3 month warranties for around $15. They all seem to have a few bad reviews--people getting sent duds--and a 4 star or so average.

I bought one to replace my wife's battery and it was around 85% of capacity which was fine for me considering the price. http://stores.ebay.com/gadgetfix

Hi guys, bought an iphone 6 today. I have been on android for the last couple years so all my contacts are on google. Is there any way I can transfer them to iphone? I tried signing into the mail app but it didn't work, the gmail app I downloaded worked just fine so I am not sure why it is giving me "wrong password" when I try to sign in with the apple mail app. Is that the only way to transfer contacts?

I'm sure this is covered ad naseum, but I just had my first cracked (destroyed) glass on my 6. I made a reservation, but I don't have AppleCare+. Will they let me come into the store for my reservation, add AC+ then and then replace the phone for $180 total or do I need to buy AC+ beforehand? I tried earlier but it deleted itself out of my cart on the app because I didn't have a qualifying product also in the cart. Thanks.

Soul Glo posted:I'm sure this is covered ad naseum, but I just had my first cracked (destroyed) glass on my 6. You must buy Apple Care plus within 60 days of the purchase of the phone. Assuming you're in that window, call Apple and add Applecare plus. They'll run a diagnostic on the phone. I have no idea if it can somehow detect a cracked screen. If not, you'll be in the clear and your phone will magically have Apple Care Plus. After that, make an appointment at a genius bar. I would strongly advise against doing what you suggested as they will most likely not let you add it if they know the phone is already damaged.

It is also highly likely that buying Applecase separately after the purchase involves you confirming that the phone is undamaged either verbally or by clicking an "I agree" button somewhere (in addition to whatever diagnostic they do remotely).

So what do they charge out of pocket to fix a screen/replace a phone? Unsubsidized price? e: Never mind, I have AppleCare on the phone. I was confusing it for my MacBook Air, apparently, which isn't covered. e2: Wait, they don't differentiate between AppleCare and AppleCare PLUS do they? Isn't it just Plus now?

Yeah, the only warranty you can get on iPhones is AppleCare+, the + just means accidental damage program.

Thanks, I also just confirmed that on selfsolve.apple.com if anybody else needs to do that. First good news of this poo poo-rear end day. The phone slipped out of my pocket at work, fell three feet onto concrete face up. The irony is I had it out of my case because the case was too grippy and I was afraid I'd fumble it one day pulling it out of my work pants.

How do I turn off vibration for alarms? Its really unpleasant for waking up as the vibrating is often louder than my alarm music.

There's no real way to do it but you can turn off vibration on ring/silent depending on your preference and if you phone is switched to that setting when the alarm goes off it won't vibrate. Kind of an annoying workaround but that's the easiest way as of now.

Has something changed with Siri recently? I've noticed some names and things are being pronounced differently in let's say the past 2-3 weeks. Haven't updated anything in that time.

My gf has an unused verizon iPhone 4 16gb. It has the power button failure that they were prone to. We were wondering if it was worth opening it up and fixing it to sell or not. Everything is pristine on it because it lived in a case.

iPhone 4s in their best conditions aren't worth that much anymore, honestly. The money spent fixing it (to assumedly perfect condition) and then selling it would only net you $60 to $75 bucks if you manage to save money on the repair of the home button.

I manually manage my music and such on my iPhone 6 Plus (current version iOS whatever). Plug it in every night, usually to add a few videos through iTunes. Roughly once a week, after doing so, for some reason ALL music/audiobooks are deleted. I have a few gigs of audio stuff I just keep on there at all times without changing it, and this happens without my even touching the audio content menu. I just pull the music app on the commute, and *poof* it's all gone. It's really loving annoying when I haven't so much as breathed on those menus. Any help?

What is everyone's opinion of credit card cases? I was think of getting this case but was wondering if there are any more recommended ones, plus the practicality of one. I only use one card, plus my ID.

The only dock she found that would take the phone with the case on it was a 12 South HiRise, which turned out to be pretty cool anyway.

I've got the same case and it's awesome; I never carry my wallet anymore. Keep in mind you can keep three cards in it, but it's going to be a pain to take individual cards out. I keep an ID and one credit card in there.

Plus it's expensive as a lot of the price is leather plus it being "Twelve South" BookBook is more of a complete wallet replacement with a detachable iPhone shell.

You could fold it back with two hands or do some weird wrist twist to swing it back and catch it, but all in all, it's just not built for it.
