Team Avatar Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I don't remember if I said it, but custom vibrations!!!! The iOS 6 seems to be the reason people AREN'T upgrading to an iPhone 5. I almost think Apple messed up in allowing the iOS to be available for everyone. The only real things you get from upgrading to a 5 are a lighter, longer phone with a smaller charger. Not really enough reason to spend extra money on upgrading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 This time travel fix for Passbook isn't working for my wife's 4S. Not impressed with the Map's lock(although looking at theme parks via 3D is cool). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushbacktosquare Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 My upgrade isn't available until 07/23/2013 Might as well wait for the next gen iphone, Whatever. I'm down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventangent Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 This is my first iPhone. my wife has a 4S. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the engineering of this thing. I can't stop holding it, looking at it, and playing with it. That's what she said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 What cell phone service provider are you guys using? I'm using verizon and I have had the unlimited data plan for over two years now, the guy said to me if I upgrade to an iphone 5 i will have to get rid of the unlimited data plan and do a single gb package. With my monthly discount I'm paying $85 a month for 450 minutes unlimited text and unlimited data does anyone know of any better plans with any different providers? yeah, verizon wireless is trying to dick everyone over who has been with them for more than a couple years. ive had them for 12 years now, and in order to upgrade my phone to anything, I have to get rid of my unlimited data/450 min plan to get unlimited minutes/2 gb data plan. some months I barely use data, other months I go way over that. oh, and I never use more than 200 minutes talk because most of the people i talk with have verizon so its all free minutes anyways. I pay $89 for my plan... oh, and I cant even add my wife to my plan without losing unlimited data. we both have that right now, but if we combine our plans, we lose our data plan and HAVE to get one of the new restricted data plans. so lame... this might push me away from Verizon when I am up for an upgrade in January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetJerryWine Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I've had mine since release day. Anybody have any advice for battery life? I like the phone, but the charge is god-awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjb2k1 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I've had mine since release day. Anybody have any advice for battery life? I like the phone, but the charge is god-awful. this is what i do on my evo 4g: task manager app (things like to run in the background), gps off unless i'm gonna use maps, keep wi-fi/bluetooth off. no idea if that will help. or maybe you got a bum battery or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 my friend who just bought the 5 is already complaining about battery life. im blaming ios6, because like i said earlier, its been destroying my battery too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventureIsOutThere Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I, personally, expected more from the battery life of my iPhone 5 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 i called apple, and the help guy told me that I was the first person to complain about battery life. I have to charge twice each day at minimal usage. apparently I just need to go make an appointment at the apple store and they will replace it then and there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 if you are on iOS 6 and hate the maps, the bing app is pretty fantastic. runs pretty much like the old google maps app. transit directions and everything, but it has a windows phone design vibe going on, which i kinda like. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bing/id345323231?mt=8 check it out (don't worry, it's free.)

I have to charge twice each day at minimal usage. apparently I just need to go make an appointment at the apple store and they will replace it then and there Do you consistently get the triangular 'GPS' icon in the top right corner of the screen? My gf's 4S was doing the same thing and her battery was constantly running down after upgrading to iOS6. My 4 wasn't doing it as much as hers, but I also noticed it on mine sometimes, even with no apps open. I would go into Settings > Privacy > Location Services. Check which apps are able to access GPS and disable the ones you don't need. Facebook and Instagram were the ones that were killing hers, and even after closing all the apps the GPS icon still was at the top of the phone. Only after disabling location services for most of her apps did the GPS icon disappear for good and her battery went back to normal. Personally I don't check in anywhere and don't care if my photos are tagged on a map, and the only time I use GPS is with the Maps. So I just disabled everything except the Maps and a couple others on mine. Don't know if this is your issue, might be worth looking into though.

Team Avatar Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Turns out I actually had push mail on, so I turned it off and will see how much it helps. I also disabled half of my location services, but it kind of bothers me that full functionality isn't possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Mapquest app you obviously haven't tried the bing app. the mapquest app is great if you like blurry maps, buttons for every hotel that throws them a dollar, and have no need for transit directions.

kyacrash Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Does anybody have a new iPod yet? I preordered the new nano, but haven't received shipping notification yet. I think when I ordered they said expect it around the first week of October . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
