Has anyone actually experienced anything close to the Up To Battery life stated on the Tech Specs???

The battery is supposed to be so good that it would:
Standby time: Up to 225 hours
Internet use: Up to 8 hours on 3G, up to 8 hours on LTE, up to 10 hours on Wi-Fi
I have 4 chargers scattered around my life spaces.  I went out for 3 hours today, made no phone calls and did not eMails, and still lost 60% of the battery life.
This phone is a work of art but simply not practical!
Anyone found solutions?

Being my first, can only compare with my old Nokias, last one being an N97 with features I still miss. However, after hours of studying the thing, reading all the manuals, including David Pogue's and studying it some more, I have managed to stretch it to 4 days without touching the charger, provided I turn it into a dumbphone for standby (all off except 2G voice) and selectively enable what I need while I use it. And NO Facebook. Subjectively, I felt a very modest improvement with the 6.1 upgrade, contrary to many irate forum posters.
Must confess being the main cause to limited battery life. With all the goodies and gadgets it has, it is simply too much of a temptation to resist dragging out instead of the Mac.

  • EBuyNow - has anyone actually received anything fr...

    Hi everyone,
    In early October I purchased the Freetalk camera for a Sharp Aquos TV from ebuynow. At this point they were showing out of stock with an expected delivery date of October 13th. October 13th my EBuynow account said "At warehouse - Will ship shortly".
    On October 17th asking what was happening - at which point I was told the cameras will only be in stock on November 5th (so why did it say at warehouse?) and received $2 skype credit as a gift. I was a bit annoyed, but could cope with another 2 weeks wait.
    November 1st, I receive an email saying these devices will only be in stock on November 20th. On the 20th, I tried to logging into my account to see what was happening, only for their system to say it didn't recognise my account. Even trying to reset my password returned an "account not found" message.
    As a result, I emailed them asking what xxx xxxx was going on (I've been waiting a month for this camera and keep getting dicked around) only for them to reply stock is now arriving on December 5th. Went on their website to confirm and their website says stock arriving on December 6th - so I have a feeling I'm going to get screwed over on this again.
    Has anyone actually received anything from ebuynow? Or should I just ring my credit card company and get them to reverse the charges? For me it seems the only thing this "global logistics company" does well is take your money.

  • EOS 7D Mark II - Has anyone else experienced compatibility problems with the Tamron SP 70-300MM?

    Has anyone else experienced compatibility problems with the Tamron SP 70-300MM?

    Is the lensora report based on actual testing... or merely theoretical?
    I'm wondering ... because there's a well-established history of 3rd party lenses that should be compatible based on the mount, but have problems anyway when a new camera model is introduced that did not exist when the lens was designed.
    At the same time, if you contact the lens vendor for support, they may be able to provide better data and sometimes they can re-chip or re-flash firmware into the lens to upgrade it to a compatible state.

  • I have tried to order a photo book.  Both times it uploaded images etc and then after payment details a message pops up saying this album couldn't be processed. Please try again. Has anyone else experienced this? Can the photo books be printed in store?

    Your screenshot is not visible.
    Anyhow, try a different browser. What were you using?
    Firefox is known to work well with the download manager when other browers fail.

  • Has anyone actually used PS CS6 with the new Macbook pro?

    There has been an awful lot of discussion about how the new macbook will work with CS6, mostly talk about the UI, but has anyone used it?  How does it work with the retina display (other than the UI)?  Yes, Adobe is going to make it retina compatible and we don't know if they will charge for the upgrade or not.  But I'd like feedback from someone who is using the new Macbook pro with CS6.
    Thanks!

    Thanks.  I have scoured the forums and nobody has used it - or if anyone has, they haven't said squat.  Anyway, I took the plunge, downloaded the app and it is absolutely stunning on my rMBP.  Even though, as you say, it is at the pixel representation I've always had.  I can't wait until the update and full retina representation.
    It is fast as blazes, sharp as a tack.  A beautiful thing.  I'll play with it some more to see how it performs.  But so far with some short tests, the rendering is almost instantanious and the colors are brilliant. 
    So far, so good.

  • Has anyone actually received a replacement in the nano recall?

    I have heard a lot about emails being sent but nothing about anyone receiving a replacement yet.  My repair status says, "Product Replacement Pending" and has my address listed.  Has anyone else seen this status?

    I received notification via e-mail from Apple on November 13th.  I submitted my repair request the next day, and didn't even receive an acknowledgment from Apple until November 20th.  Now I realize that this is affecting a LOT of people, but I thought I would have received at least this precious BOX I have been reading so much about...haha. 
    Have you at least gotten to send your old nano into Apple yet?  Just curious as to how your claim was proceeding.
    Thanks,

  • Has anyone else experienced an issue since the newest update that when you try and minimize your firefox, it freezes up and then refueses to even respond?

    This issue happens to me randomly at times. I'll be using Firefox when I try to minimize something, this causes any tabs or multiple pages of Firefox I have up to automatically freeze and won't even respond. They don't even turn a faint color and tell you (Not Responding). The only way I get it to do anything is by opening my task manager and have to forcefully shut down Firefox and then restart it. The problem is, when this happens, Firefox never tries to bring back the pages I had up, so anything I had up I have to personally go off and find again.

    Try this:
    Go to System Preferences - Bluetooth. Delete the keyboard from the list of devices by pressing the "-" button. Take the batteries out of the keyboard and reinsert them. In Bluetooth Preferences press the '+" button to add the new device. If the keyboard begins to pair, click the word "pair" and type in the passcode. Press return. The keyboard is now paired.
    If the mouse is not pairing, try this: shut down the computer completely, unplug any USB mice, then turn off the power to the bluetooth mouse.  ONce the computer starts up again, wait for the pop-up looking for a mouse.  Turn on the power to the bluetooth mouse.  It should work normally now.

  • Hi, I have just purchased a new Macbook Pro. Whenever I try and buy anything on the internet (via Safari) on any website it will not allow me to add products to checkout. Has anyone else experienced this problem or can suggest a fix? Many thanks!

  • Has anyone else experienced the iOS going into recovery mode after the latest update?

    I had a notification stating a update of iOS 6.1.1 was available. I started to install the software OTA. after about 10mins, my phone turned off, and when turned back on, showed a picture of a cable and the word iTunes.
    I plugged it up to my computer which told me it was in recovery mode. its reinstalled the new software but I've lost everything. Photos, Videos, Apps, notes, Music, Messages.
    I back it up regularly, but when i tried to restore the backed up file, Ive still lost a 80% of my photos, no videos have been readded, and all my Apps I have had to redownload from the App Store.
    Needless to say, it's things like this that make me really wish I had re-upgraded to an Android!
    Has anyone else experienced this issue with this update?

    I am also experiencing the same problem, but strangely only with my iMac!
    iPhone and iPad running iOS 7.0.6 working OK
    MacBook Air running OSX 10.9.2 (and Intel HD Graphics 5000 1024MB) working OK
    iMac running OSX 10.9.2 (and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB) working NOT OK
    Not sure if this may be a problem with NVIDIA graphics after upgrading to OSX 10.9.2?
    When I try to connect to AirPlay Display via my iMac, it says it's connected, but my TV goes into a full black screen mode. Despite it says it's connected to AirPlay display, I cannot actually change from Extend Desktop (my default) to Mirror iMac for example, as it doesn't allow to select it. Also, if I "open display preferences" I don't have any "Arrengement" tab as I have on my MacBook Air where it is working ok.
    Thanks.

  • HT4914 I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

    I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud via Match, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

    I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!!  (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
    Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
    Solution for the problem:
    1 - go to your IPhone settings
    2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
    3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
    4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
    Should solve your problem :~)

  • Has anyone ever experienced the situation where plugging in the USB connector to the charging source (high-power USB port or Apple charger) halfway, then pressing it in firmly, results in the iPad not charging?

    Has anyone ever experienced the situation where plugging in the USB connector to the charging source (high-power USB port or Apple charger) halfway, then pressing it in firmly, results in the iPad not charging?

    It's highly likely that there is a poor connection in the phone - either a pin in the dock connector or internal wiring harness.  No software fixes or "tricks" would work, but I would recommend restoring in iTunes, first using a backup and if needed restore as a new phone. 
    Otherwise, opening and repairing the phone takes some tech knowledge that can't be relayed here.  Apple doesn't repair phones other than replacing batteries (not inconceivable that you have a bad battery), but offers "out-of-warranty" replacement (refurb) phones for $149 (US).  3rd party iPhone repair centers may be able to fix it for less.  Google to find them,
    Tried soft and hard resets
    FYI, there's no such thing as "soft" or "hard" resets in iPhone terminology.  There is only one phone reset. You'll see those terms thrown around by technically ignorant posters, but they mean different things to different people and are actually archaic, 1980s PC terms that have nothing to do with iPhones.

  • TS3581 iPhone 4S - The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works and it plays Albums or Genius Playlisys only (not self-made playlists). Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Previously, the iPod function enabled one to see the track that was playing and control playback (such as repeat or shuffle) via the iPhone screen. Now all I see is an "Accessory Connected" message.

    Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

  • Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work?

    Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work? I've been trying for about 8 hours, absolutely no success. I have followed the iMovie Help instructions and the examples on the internet, over and over again. I've tried every imaginable variation on the instructions. Nothing from my green movie shows up. The green in my video is pure green - 100% green, 0% red and 0% blue. Yet the non-green images in the video aren't getting displayed at all. Several other people have mentioned a similar problem on these forums and they are all "unanswered". Is that because this is an unsolvable problem? Is it an iMovie bug? Sigh. I'm a big fan of Apple but stuff like this gives them a bad name.

    After several more hours of diagnosis I have identified some conditions which can make Green Screen slightly work (but not much). The condition is as follows. The green screen clip must be carefully dropped at the beginning of a video clip, such that at least the first two seconds of the green screen clip (no less, but no more or the clip will become attached to the previous clip and then it's broken again) are displayed over the PREVIOUS video clip. But the green screen will not work on the previous clip, only on the second clip. So you will always lose the first two seconds of the green screen video. It took me a lot of experimenting to discover this anomaly.
    Clearly this is a bug, but since not all users on the internet experience this bug, (some online videos shows that Green Screen actually works as advertised) it's most likely related to the video card driver. My video card is an ATI 4870. If you have such a card, there's probably no hope that you can get this feature to work unless Apple fixes the driver or possibly the iMovie application, or you use my tricky workaround.

  • When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    When I got a new iPhone5, I experienced short battery life, and system sofware issues were not the cause. The camera also takes a blury picture regardless of lighting and I have the black one. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

    What makes you so sure it isn't software?
    The camera can be focused by take the point of focus on the touch screen.
    If it is new as you said, it should be under warranty. Make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple with a repair request.

  • Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again while  playing music in iTunes.  It was fixed but with the last update it has started skipping again.

    Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes.  It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
    it started skipping again. 

    Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your  phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!
