Anyone else struggling with iPhone 5 battery ?

iPhone 5 bought direct from Apple on release, set up as a new phone out the box, I have pretty much everything turned off, and the battery life is still struggling to get me through the day, and that is without what I would consider excessive use. No gaming, no movies, no streaming, just texts and a few calls, manually retrieved emails and an amount of sporadic browsing whilst at work.
My iPhone 4 coped much better than this.
Anyone suffering the same symptoms ?
Should I take it in for replacement or is this the standard iPhone 5 experience ?

Call me crazy..but I've actually experienced better battery life with my iPhone 5. That's one of the features I've liked best. If you haven't yet, I'd follow up on all of the stuff here

If that doesn't help, an appointment and trip to the Genius bar wouldn't hurt.

Anyone else struggling with ITV Player via the new...

Started using the ITV Player at the weekend, having had the new box for a few days. The quality is terrible - picture stopping and starting, sound dropping, etc. I've tried it on two evenings, and the same results both time, across a sample of programmes.
I spent ten minutes sampling programmes from the other catch up services, and they all seemed to play fine, so it *seems* like its just the ITV service I sturggle with.
Anyone else have similar issues or could test to see if they have the same?
cheers
mike

Hi mikef
There have been a few reports over on the Youview Community forum with regards the ITV player.
Not tried the ITV player yet but had problems trying to access the on demand players, kept getting error code YVM104 have to turn the box off at the back to rectify the problem, 4OD player then started buffering and stopped stating that my connection was not fast enough ( I have BT Infinity 62.72mb) or there was a problem with their servers?
Since delivery of the BT Humax Box Friday 12th October the Humax Box as froze twice!!

My laptop got wet - battery icon now has a X inside and it is not holding any charge at all, anyone else dealt with this scenario?

The battery is not detected, so it means that the battery or the battery connector are not working, which is a serious problem.
Turn off your MacBook and take it to an Apple Store or reseller. It will be an expensive repair if your logic board has to be replaced. Read > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5511

I cannot receive MMS over WiFi- anyone else struggling? (2nd post)

Original post:
I cannot receive MMS over WiFi- anyone else struggling?
Apparently, it's not the settings. Tech told me I need to just return the phone b/c they don't have a clue what's wrong with it. They've done everything they can on their end and nothing works. I posted about this earlier just before I spoke to advanced tech support and thought they'd fixed the issue, but it's not fixed.
If someone finds a fix for this, please post it. As of now, my plan is to return the phone to the store tomorrow.

UPDATE- A tech-savvy friend took a look at my phone this evening at work and couldn't fix the problem. He's a former tech support employee for another major wireless provider. He said his best guess is the problem is somewhere in the APN settings. It seems like LG's default settings are fighting (for lack of a better word) with Verizon's settings. He couldn't fix the problem and ended up suggesting I download the texting app "Textra" because it's one where the settings allow you to change the APN.
I was dubious because we've already tried changing the texting program to the two others that come on the phone and neither worked. But neither allow you to edit or add to the APN settings either.
I'm not sure how it is on anyone else's LG G3, but mine doesn't allow you to change the APN settings at all. On every single walk-through I've found for setting up MMS, I've followed it to the letter right up until it says, "Click the 'add' button in the upper right corner..." because that isn't an option on my phone. I imagine it's prob the same way for many others as well. I don't know if it's just on Verizon or if it's a product-wide problem.
My tech friend said the only way I can change the APN settings on my own (without speaking to Verizon's tech folks again) would be to "jail break" the phone first, which I really don't want to do.
I downloaded Textra and was surprised to find that it comes with a check-box for "MMS WiFi fix" under the setting "go here if MMS isn't working." I clicked the appropriate boxes and sent myself a MMS using my husband's phone. I also asked a friend who has another provider to text me a test pic. Textra turned off WiFi, downloaded both pix, and then turned WiFi back on... exactly the way the phone's default settings should behave. It took a minute or so longer than a typical text but I'm okay with that so long as pix come through.
I've been fighting this issue for nearly 2 weeks now. I've spoken to 7 different people at Verizon as well as several friends who are extremely knowledgeable regarding cell phone OS (KitKat in particular), and this is the only thing that has actually worked. I'm going to give it 24 hours though before I say the problem is truly "fixed."
Hope this works!! (crosses fingers)

Has anyone else had an iPhone 5 that's only been dropped once accidentally and smashed the screen? Mine has done that and as I don't have mobile insurance it'll cost a fortune to replace it through Apple!!

Has anyone else had an iPhone 5 that's only been dropped once accidentally and smashed the screen? Mine has done that and as I don't have mobile insurance it'll cost a fortune to replace it through Apple!! I don't think the phone is fit for purpose as any other phone i've had has been dropped and been fine and surely they expect a mobile to be accidentally dropped at least once!!

Yeah, sad to hear of your accident:
If you dropped it on concrete- that is the hardest material and chance of damage goes up tremedously. Actually you are fortunate not to have mobile insurance because then you have to trust your insurance provider to provide you with a quality replacement or repair.
Apple is always spot-on you know what you're getting. They can always attempt to replace JUST the display on an iPhone 5 for $149 + tax is what I've heard them quote others. But they said it's $229 to replace your phone with another whole new iPhone 5. Get the AppleCare+ because two of these incidents will only cost you $49 + tax in the future!

Is anybody else struggling with an intermittent connection when using the Magic Mouse/Trackpad ONLY on Boot Camp?

Hi,
I've seen thousands of posts about Bluetooth connection issues and interference and stutter/lag for both the Magic Mouse and Trackpad (affecting both Mac OS X and Windows under Boot Camp) but my problem is different.
To summarise my setup, I use:
- Retina MacBook Pro (lid closed or open, doesn't make a difference to this problem)
- Thunderbolt Display
- Wireless Keyboard
- Magic Trackpad (have also tried a Magic Mouse and experience similar issues to the Trackpad)
And in Mac OS X, everything works perfectly. The keyboard and trackpad work smoothly when I'm 6-7 metres from the machine, whether or not the laptop lid is open or closed, and whether or not the Thunderbold Display is connected.
But on to my problem: the bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
But during usage, the cursor stutters/lags frequently, and tap to click (when enabled) seems to get triggered by mistake all the time (even when I'm not touching the Trackpad or even at the computer, clicks get registered).
The Wireless Keyboard is perfect, and works well 5 metres from the machine. The Mouse and Trackpad, though, don't even work reliably when they are 6 inches from the machine. The built-in trackpad on the laptop works perfectly too, in Windows and Mac.
I spent a week assuming I was suffering from Bluetooth interference, so I tried:
- using the laptop with the lid open
- removing the Thunderbolt display completely and trying the Magic Trackpad
- repositioning items on my desk
- disabling wifi
All of these adjustments made minor differences to how good/bad the Trackpad was, but none came close to fixing the problem or making it work as smoothly as under Mac OS X. It was only after doing all of this that I realised perhaps it was just a Apple driver for Windows issue, so I booted into Mac OS X and tested everything out, and sure enough, it's all perfect. But back into Windows, the Trackpad doesn't work reliably at all.
Obviously, the hardware is not at fault, and I assume the signal strength doesn't vary between operating system (why would it?) so I'm left believing this must be a driver issue. The TrackPad and Magic Mouse drivers have been out for a couple of years, so I'm surprised they can still be this bad. I tried both the latest driver from Boot Camp 4.0 (3.2.0.0) for the Trackpad, and also the older one from Boot Camp 3.2 (3.1.0.7) and both are equally bad for me.
So my question is: has anybody else struggled with using the Trackpad (or Magic Mouse) with Boot Camp 4.0 and Windows 7 64-bit, whilst finding it to be perfect under Mac OS? I haven't found many posts complaining about the Windows driver, which is why I assumed it was an interference issue. But I'm almost sure it isn't, having spent 2 weeks investigating.
Any thoughts/suggestions/answers much appreciated!
Kyle

SOLVED!
After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
I really hope this helps others trying to use Bluetooth devices under Boot Camp. All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
Cheers

Anyone having problem with iphone getting not delivered message after sending picture and it really is getting delivered to recipient.

Anyone having problem with iphone getting a not delivered message after sending pic and it really is getting delivered to recipient.

Same problem here with and I've done everything shy of a total reset which I also find unacceptable. This problem exists on all iMessage platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) so I don't see how restoring my iPhone would help the problem.

(error code -50). Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

When I try to copy something from my desktop to an external hard drive I keep getting this message: The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50). Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

That is a pretty strange message. Have you had a chance to reach out to Windows Live?

HT1222 Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1

Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1?

Yes. I had an iPhone 3G and when upgraded to 6.1 the bluetooth connectivity failed progressively and eventually the phone just wouldn't connect. I broke and reestablished the pairing am few times and each time it would work for a while then disconnect to the extent I thought the bluetooth hardware in the car was failing. I then got an iPhone 5 and the same issue remained. In the last few days I've paired an old Blackberry with the car kit to rule out the BMW hardware. Blackberry is fine so it has to be iOS incompatibility.

Does anyone have problems with iPhone 5 getting hot?

Does anyone have problems with iPhone 5 getting hot? I just bought a new iPhone 5 & it's gotten hot twice. Once when I was on FaceTime for 30 min it got hot about 15 min into the call. & once when I was downloading some apps.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101?viewlocale=en_US
It is normal for it to get warm when it's being used, especially if it is hot outside. It can even get uncomfortably warm. As long as it is not causing you physical harm (as in giving you burns) or displaying a temperature warning, then it's normal behavior. It's like taking your laptop outside and using it. Except the laptop will probably burn you.

Anyone having issues with iphone 6 camera with purple colors and it freezing?

I'm not sure if this is iOS 8.0.2 related as I didn't take many pics with iOS 8 when I first got my iphone 6 activated this past Sunday, but my camera app has been acting up. Usually, when I move the camera around to take pics and it tries to focus, sometimes the screen will freeze or there will be a purple haze. It is worse in the slow-mo or video options. I've searched online and seen articles on chromatic aberration on previous iphones, but I think what I have is beyond that. I haven't seen people posting about my same issues, so I'm wondering if it's hardware related. Anyone else experience something like this? If I take it to the Apple Store, will they replace it? I haven't dropped my phone or anything- everything else seems fine, but it's been less than a week so far.

Has anyone else noticed that Iphone 3G tray is larger than AT&T's sim card?

Hello,
Just a brief history of my iphone to start. Purchased in December of 09 via Best Buy. About 3 months ago I started to have connectivity issues with the Iphone. I would not receive notices of people calling and my text messages would come 12-48 hrs later than when they were sent. I called AT&T first regarding the issue. They pointed the finger at Apple and said it was their issue, I felt that it was their issue. I blamed their 3G network for the issue, as well as stating that they do not keep their end of the bargain regarding the best 3G network. I threatened a class action lawsuit against them regarding the false claims of their cellular network in Wisconsin being available to my area. That aroused someone because before I knew it I was being told that I would get a new phone. I received the new phone within 5 days. The phone I received is no better than my previous iphone. Same issues as stated above, as well as searching for service, showing one bar with the edge symbol, and having the phone remove the edge symbol when making a call. It's ridiculous to say the least. So one of my questions is, can Apples hardware or software be the issue or is it a case of AT&T network being non compatible with Apples hardware or vice versa? Let me also state that its not just me with these problems where I live(Area code 53559) but others as well with the Iphone 3G. Here is the funny part, one of my friends has the 3Gs and his phone does great where I live, 4-5 bars constantly to my one or none. This brings me to believe that the 3Gs hardware is different some how? Antennae?etc. Is this true? I'm at my ropes end trying to get my phone to work like it should. I'm also exhausted dealing with the blame game between Apple and AT&T. If anyone has any answers or advice I would appreciate it very much. Regarding the Subject of this post, does anyone else's card come up short of fitting(Could this contribute to the connectivity issues?) the tray perfectly front to rear?

I'm not sure that I followed everything, but you got a replacement phone and continue to experience problems? It sounds like a logical move would be to have AT&T replace your SIM card. I would doubt that the size/fit is an issue, these things are a standard size, but replacing the SIM will have an impact on the network set-up that might be the root cause.

Now on Fourth phone replacement. Fed the same bull. Anyone else deal with this?

I'm just curious how many people out there are going through or have gone through the current issue I'm having with Verizon Wireless. I upgraded my cell phone to the HTC Droid Inc 2 a little while back. I had informed the in-store customer service rep that I was in need of a very reliable phone but would like to have all the "bells and whistles". I also informed him of my line of work (I work on an ambulance as an EMT) and that my phone was critical for my job, and that I was also expecting a newborn. He then proceeded to pitch this phone to me as one of the top selling and that there have been "barely any known issues reported". I bought it. That day, had to replace the phone TWICE due to (the first phone) not having any signal, and (the second phone) not having any signal AND screen not responding. Then after a couple months of use (phone has a protective case, screen protector, no water damage) the screen suddenly stopped responding again. Was assured by customer service that this is a very rare occasion and almost "unheard" of. Was sent a new phone in the mail a few days later. Was told that all new phones are "guaranteed" to work fully as expected. Now, that phone's screen has also STOPPED working. Being a dedicated Verizon Wireless customer for many years with multiple lines on my account and having always paid my bill on time and never having a complaint before, I called customer service to explain to them how I could no longer take the risks of having this cell phone due to the possibility of its malfunction either during a critical moment at work, or if anything was to happen while my newborn daughter was in my care. I was pitched the same "this is a rare occasion" and "your new phone is guaranteed to work" lines from the customer service rep. Now I understand phones malfunction. But I would rather take my chances with a new model phone, due to the fact this is the ONLY phone I'v EVER had ANY issues with. And it's not like I was asking for the newest and greatest, just something of equal value, or even less of a value, as long as it had relatively the same functions. For a bill of roughly $200 a month that I give Verizon, I honestly didn't think this was to much to ask for. Does anyone else have anything similar that has happened to them like this? I would love to hear it and find out your outcome.
Thanks and sorry if I rambled, just really frustrated and wanted to get my point across.

Daisy,
Besides hardware issues like the power button that keeps sinking further into the phone and which Verizon has told me is actually a feature of the phone there are issues with a tower that is one mile from my house. In fact I can see the tower, yet I have constant dropped calls and conversations are garbled.
Now, before you tell me to do the *228, a battery pull and hard reset, I've done all of that. This tower is defective. I've had a technical support engineer tell me that. A major interstate runs by and my exit is known as a dropped call area for Verizon. Yet, when I call to ask what could be done they were surprised I was having problems because of the close proximity of the tower. And I was told this was the first trouble report they had had, which I find amusing since I hear people all the time refer to the area I live as the "black hole."
So, what they've done is open a trouble ticket and they were supposed to have sent out technicians to run tests. I was told they would get back to me within 24-48 hours. It's been five days and I've yet to hear anything, nor do I expect to. The support team kept trying to sell me an extender, which won't work given the tower has problems.
I work out of my house several days a week and it is imperative I have a phone that works as advertised. Your coverage maps show this to be your strongest area for coverage. My phone shows 4-5 bars constantly, yet voices are garbled and calls dropped. The support rep had me mark calls and when I called back she said she saw 25 dropped calls. That's unacceptable. I never had these problems when I was with AT&T. Since Verizon's answer is to deny there is a problem and try and push me to buy a cell extender my next step would appear to be to invoke the mediation clause on my contract. I believe I have collected enough evidence to render the contract void at this point.
I appreciate you responding to my post, but I also know it's your job to monitor these sites and offer lip service to customers complaining. But you and I both know you aren't going to do anything to help rectify this problem. I am going to call them one more time and press them for a solution and if none is offered then the next step will be in the legal arena.

Anyone else order their iphone online?

Hi,
My friend at work was smitten with my iPhone and ordered one online, it says an estimated 2-4 week ship. Did anyone else order one online and get any different information from apple on maybe getting them sooner?
iBookvG4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This is bizarre. I also ordered mine on Friday night. And I got an email from Apple stated that it was going to ship on the 13th (Friday the 13th!). However, some people who ordered on the same day, their iphones are shipping on the 6th. Oh well, I've waited six months, another couple of weeks aren't going to kill me. Maybe by that time, AT&T would have resolved the activation problems.
