My 7+ is fucked. Lasted less than 24 hours. Keeps flicking between no signal and occasionally a bit of signal. Tried multiple networks, gonna be fun in the apple store in the morning. Can't wait for Quentin or tobias to tell me in a really cheery voice that there is no stock to replace it.

Brain is not working today, some of the above was gibberish, but hopefully people get the drift - basically it allows you to have the phone you want in your cart from the store you want ready for when the stock goes live. And I mixed up left and right! lol (f**k fatigue!)

Try again tonight, Wednesday night there was loads of stock added (No Jet Black, but that looks crap in the flesh anyway) and there was good availability for 20+ minutes on most models across the country. There's a bit of a glitch that I noticed on their site which will speed things up, from...

10pm tonight, select for pickup. New stock becomes available to buy online and pick up at a store.

Yeah, just ask Nokia, blackberry, Motorola and Sony Ericsson their thoughts on that. They all laughed at apple when that said that they wanted to gain 1% of the global phone market.....

I have a black and the LCD screen and never use the screen because it's s**t and wastes battery.

I can save you the bother. The A14 will be fucked. It's always fucked.

Anybody else installed the marshmallow beta? f**k me it's swift. Fingerprint seems pretty flawless under it.

We had one last year where inbetween prototyping and production a 2GB eMMC was replaced with a 4GB eMMC but nobody told me, when the first batch of production boards turned up the eMMC didn't work at all. We use a commercial FAT filing system which supports journaling and stuff, but it's closed...

Yep. If they start going down this road then they're starting to behave like a PC. Keep it fixed, make the devs work for it and push the hardware, figure out tricks, but for god sake don't fragment the platform! You only have to look at the the fact that they initially shipped Xbox ones with...

Which is exactly what you don't want to happen. Games will be targeted at the higher spec (because it looks nicer and more flashy) and then half arsed to run at acceptable rates on the lower spec machine. As dave gorman says "not in game footage"

This. Fragmenting a console platform is a really f**king dumb idea.

People are moaning like f**k about it over on the virgin forums! The 2 had terrible WiFi issues, they were fixed in the 2ac though.

BBC model B. You can thank that computer for your fancy mobile phones. Got a model B upstairs, I need to refurb the psu as it's a bit "smokey" lol

I bet your local service has been oversold. If you go onto the virgin forum and make a post asking if there is a problem they will check and respond. Do not be tempted to bump your message as it takes 2 or 3 days for virgin to respond, and each time you attempt to bump it you move back to...

It's supposedly craptastic. Lots of bugs. I was one of the original testers for the 2 and currently have a 2a which is the best of the bunch.

Yet for all its "shitness" you can still remove the stock apps from your home screen. [emoji1]

I'll be the first to ask. How the f**k did you manage to dremel your screen?

Screen is pointless and s**t. Use the app. I picked up a black for 260 in November from Amazon Italy (was actually delivered next day from Amazon uk)

The only thing I miss is the led notification light not working with Lightflow. Even Carl is coming up against this issue now... So maybe it might get fixed sooner rather than later now.

I've not used access for 20 odd years...... I assume these days you write .NET code in a form?

I use the F2! Although we did stick some F4's on some boards because they have DSP instructions, but the overall power consumption went up. (our product uses ~4 mA) in normal operation, so microamp jumps in consumption are bad for us, let alone milliamp. We use C++ though mainly just...

Sadly I think you're going to have to bite the bullet on that one!

It's something you've got installed or a setting, compare your "awake" vs "screen on" to mine. See how little my awake is on. Your screen if off and then the phone remains awake for ages after (like 30 mins to an hour). Can you charge your phone at work and then leave it overnight on battery...

And on a completely factory phone does it do the same? (I.e no apps installed) It's got to be an app or some setting. This is my graph from yesterday, ignore the red bit, it's a lie as I'd switched off my second sim at that point which was active all day until that point. Greenify was...

You don't have voice search enabled from any screen do you?

Everything but the one I wanted! Lol Click on the graph and it shows you another screen, post that one. (it basically shows you what was active at a point in time)

Screen on time? What does your battery use page look like where it shows the battery level against screen/sleep/GSM state etc?

What mail client are you using and what mail service are you using? (i.e gmail, icloud etc)

On the most complex one I have zero bytes free. You won't believe how long I spent optimising stuff and hand tweaking pieces of code to make it fit in. Worst of all the stupid linker doesn't tell you how much ram you are running over by, just tells you that you've run out of space. Helpful.
