IPhone 5 - black model paint problem

Dear apple community!
I have iPhone 5 black model and edge color was chipped off after very carefull usage! If the paint chips this easy now what's my phone gonna look like in a years time after being in and out of my pocket, car keys, kids getting hold of it... It looks like anything could chip the paint. So my question is what kind of paint or marker I can use to repaint the edge of iPhone and hide that paint chips. I tried with black permanent marker but it comes off easy. Plase give me some advice because I'm desperate sad and disappointed. My new black iPhone 5 looks like trash with that silver dots. Thank you apple once again...

In the same location as on the white model, just to the left of the front facing camera.

IPhone 6 Model A1549 problem

Hi to all! I just want to ask for a clear explanation of this unexpected thing happen with my iphone 6 model A1549. I purchased iPhone 6 model A1549, an open line unit. I travel back here in the Philippines using my purchased iPhone 6. I used sim card (GLOBE) in my iPhone 6 and found it works. My problem now, though my iphone 6 model is not supported model for the philippines which is supposed to be the model A1586. Why my phone can still detect Globe Networks though the signal always changed from 3G to LTE then LTE to 3G. Also my signal always dropped. Can someone help me to understand the use of frequencies per iphone model which is dedicated only for each countries.

Hi mac_kutingting,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are looking for more information on which iPhone 6 models and LTE frequency bands are supported by which providers in which countries, you may find the following page helpful (apologies if you have already seen it):

i have problem on my iphone battery model A1457 battery finish fast withen 1 hours

When did you first notice this issue?
you have to isolate the issue if its a hardware issue or a software one
if its hardware you can probably let apple check it and have it repaired, as you mentioned its a brand new phone
its probably under the warranty
if its software, try doing a restore, - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
if you have contacted apple and request for a repair, they are probably gonna restore your device first.

Is black screen for iPhone hardware or software problem

Is black screen for iPhone hardware or software problem.

Don't know until you troubleshoot. First step is a reset:
hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

If my iphone 5 has a problem within the first 30 days will apple replace it with a brand new one or will i get a refurbished model.

if my iphone 5 has a problem within the first 30 days will apple replace it with a brand new one or will i get a refurbished model??

If it is replaced under warranty, it will be replaced with a unit from the "replacement stock", which either will be a refurb or new (no way to distinguish these) and the S/N will indicate a replacement unit.
The "30 day" rule varies from county to country, and applies only to returns, not replacement.

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 that all share the same iTunes account (apps, music, etc), but I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps?

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me?? Please?

Why itunes recognize my iphone 4s model like a iphone 4?

Why itunes recognize my iphone 4s model like a iphone 4?

I'm having this same problem. Did you ever find a solution Robyn?
I tried all the recommendations with AMDS and uninstalling itunes and then reinstalling it. Is there a way to install an older version of itunes that works?
What was I thinking in upgrading an Apple product? There is always some issue.

I have an iphone 4S model with IOS 7.1.2. Do I need to download IOS v8.0?

I have an iphone 4S model with IOS 7.1.2. Do I need to download IOS v8.0?

Craig,
Your analogy is excellent! Perfectly captures the opinion I have heard from many. The reason that I have encouraged you to update is because really I, personally, have never experienced an issue with an update, and neither has my signifiant other. Call us lucky! I will not lie to you and say that that means that all updates are going to flawless -- far from it. Many people, as you described, find themselves in the exact situation described by your analogy, and they take to the internet to describe and outline these problems. It is unfortunate that iOS 8 has been such a buggy release for so many, and disheartening that Apple has not yet found a solution for some of these major bugs.
I do ask you to remember though that most of what you find when looking for opinions on iOS 8 will be people having problems with their device -- those whose update went through perfectly have no reason to question it, and thus it can make it seem like everyone writing on iOS 8 is having a problem. There is most definitely a large amount of people with problems after the update, but most likely an equally large amount of people who did not have problems and simply didn't post about it.
My significant other is not a heavy user. She uses her phone an average amount, but she most definitely does not rely on it as much as you have outlined above. I do not want to deceive you into thinking that just because she had no problems that means that you will not encounter any either. To answer your question, she updated about a week after each release of iOS 8 (iOS 8.1, iOS 8.1.2, etc.)
I also do not want you to think that I am a completely neutral party either. I am a fan of Apple, I will admit to that, but trust that I try to speak from as unbiased a position as I possibly can.
As far as your concerns with Apple go, I hear you. Many people would agree with you. Apple markets itself with the concept of flawlessly functioning devices, and that means that for some, when issues do occur, it is even more than just a bug because they bought the device on the promise of it flawlessly functioning. Yes, the functioning factor is part of the reason behind the higher prices of Apple products, but remember you also get a one year hardware warranty and over the phone assistance, access to the Apple Store and Genius Bar (both of which have excellent customer service, a fact that is widely agreed upon), as well as features such as iCloud storage. Widespread bugs like the ones that have occurred with iOS 8 are uncharacteristic of Apple, but in the end they will make mistakes, it is how they fix them that characterizes the company.
From everything that you have stated, here is my solution for you: If your phone works right now, it works. It will continue to work if you do not update, that is guaranteed. What is not guaranteed is that if you update, the phone will function even better. Both you and I are aware that iOS 8 has caused just as many issues as it has resolved -- updating here is a gamble, if you rely on your phone as much as I am thinking you do, it is probably better to take the safer route that guarantees the phone will work. Keep in mind, iOS 8.2 is right around the corner. More bug fixes may be introduced, and that may be a better time to update.
You bring up some excellent points. In the end, this decision is all up to you. I'm just a guy on the internet with some strong opinions!
Nick.

Microcell: white vs black models

This is not a question, but just some info for anyone interested. I had an older white Microcell (model DPH151) and just got a new black model (DPH154) and thought I would post some comparisons I measured (other than the physical differences, which are obvious): Power Consumption:I measured the "idle" power draw of both models using their stock AC adapters. By idle I mean powered up, fully activated/online, but with no call in progress (probably the most common condition): White model: 13 wattsBlack model 6 watts This is a notable improvement, although in the scheme of things not really a big difference; in my area that amounts to about $12/year in electricity saved with the black model. I also measured both devices with the same 3rd party 12v AC adapter and got the same results, so the power savings are due to updated electronics in the new model, not any differences in the AC adapters they come with (although the new one comes with an efficiency "Level V" adapter and the old one is "Level IV"). Cell StrengthI measured cell strength at 3 locations around my house. I put my phone in diagnostic mode to test the cell strength. Numbers closer to 0 are better. White model:Position 1: -30 dBPosition 2: -80 dBPostion 3: -99 dB Black model:Position 1: -30 dBPosition 2: -76 dBPosition 3: -97 dB The new black model came out slightly ahead but these numbers are so close I'm calling it a statistical draw. It's possible there are some modest improvements in signal strength but certainly nothing to buy a new device for. (Notes about testing: the iPhone can be put into diagonstic mode by dialing *3001#12345#*. The cell strength is measured in dB, which is a measure of signal loss, so the numbers are always negative and closer to 0 means less loss. Since the phone was sometimes slow to update the display after being moved, I put the phone into airplane mode and then back to regular mode before taking each reading. Also, our property has zero AT&T service... in fact there is no service for at least a mile... so I think the results of this test are not affected by any real AT&T towers, but I can't know that for sure.) Cell Data SpeedI made a few measurements of 3G data speeds (with my phone's wifi turned off), but the results were so inconsistant I won't bother to report them. I assume the data speeds are influenced by the speed of my internet connection, which of course can vary for unpredicable reasons. Hopefully anyone using a Microcell has a wifi network, so 3G data speeds are not relavent. Not Tested:- Activation/startup times. Anecdotally the models seem to be about the same (~5 minutes after the first activation).- Number of call drops- Audio quality while on a call

Keep in mind that in order for cellphone signal boosters to work in your location, you still need to be able to receive a measurable signal (typically at least one bar, some users say two) somewhere inside your house. If you have to walk outside your house to get a cellphone signal, you may not find that a signal booster will work for you.
Using the Cel-Fi Pro as an example, you place the Window Unit where it can receive the best signal from the nearest celltower. The Coverage Unit is placed within the house in a centrally located position to provide coverage for your cellphones. The Cel-Fi Pro is authorized by AT&T and provides 3G, 4G and LTE frequency coverage. It supposedly has a coverage range of 13,000 sq. ft. vs. the Mcell's 5,000 sq. ft. It is a plug and play system with no external antennas to mount.
weBoost (formerly Wilson Electronics) has signal boosters also but they are more installation robust and require mounting antennas outside and inside.
Cellphone signal booster products like these while approved for use on most of the major carrier's networks are still required to be registered with the carrier. In addition, E911 location information may not be provided or may be inaccurate when using these products.
These solutions may work for you but they are expensive, so expect to pay $400 to $900 for a decent signal booster. If you decide to try one, make sure they have a return policy if you find they don't work well in your situation. Cel-Fi offers 30 day returns if you are not happy with their products as does weBoost.

Which iPhone 6 model should I buy to be sure it will work in Europe (Croatia)? Is it A1586?

Which iPhone 6 model should I buy in USA to be sure it will work in Europe (Croatia)? Is it A1586? When I return to Croatia, I'll use it on T-mobile network which has 3G, 4G and LTE band.

Read the post properly and see what he actually said in the post:-
His post actually said "The A1586 is the model sold IN AND FOR CROATIA."
This is not the same as that model being available for sale in the USA and when you go to the US you cannot pick and choose which model you buy. The iPhone is country specific and you will have to purchase the model that is available in the USA.
The USA has CDMA and GSM iPhones, so when you go you would want to purchase the GSM phone and probably the T-Mobile Contract free phone as no unlocked phones are currently for sale in the US.
If you purchase the T-Mobile Contract free phone in the US, then is should work when you return to Croatia, but it will not work on 4G/LTE because of frequency differences in the US. The phone should work okay on 3G, but not 4G or LTE.
Also, remember that if you purchase any phone in the US you will have no warranty cover on your return to Croatia - iPhone warranty is not international and is country specific, so if you have a problem with the phone, you are looking at flying back to the US to get the phone fixed.
The phone will probably work in Croatia, but there is no guarantee of this and it will not work on the 4G LTE that is available there.

Is my iphone 6 model a1586 compatible with gsm networks in myanmar

is my iphone 6 model a1586 compatible with gsm networks in myanmar

bluetooth should be backward compatible
these are the bluetooth profiles supported by iOS devices
iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles
that being said there are many posts about people who have problems with their cars and bluetooth if it's a bug, limitation or
them doing it "wrong" I have no idea my car have a tape deck with a radio and thats it
