Re: How long did it take for your 4s to arrive??

For all of you that have ordered a iphone 4s either online or via phone, how long did it take to arrive at your door??

With everywhere being out of stock and being told by orange it will arrive between 2-4 days, im wondering when realistically im gunna get it, as 10 days after ordering it via phone i still dont even have a text message to tell me its been dispatched.

Looks like my 14 day cooling off period will run out before i get my phone

Please can everyone post 5 things, was it....

1, ordered by phone or online
2, network
3, colour, black or white
4, gig, 16gb, 32gb, 64gb
5, How long it took to arrive??

My girlfriend ordered her white 16gb with Orange over the phone and was told 2-4 days and she received it 2 weeks after the order date.

I ordered my 16gb black from the apple store 2 weeks ago and they're still 'processing'.

 

[Dave Hester]

Not on really, that your 14 day cooling off period expires before the phone even turns up!

 

[MaLicE]

It will be 14 days from when u get the phone lol will be sent registered post they will know when u get it and it will be 14 days from then, come on you can't be that dense???

I wouldn't say there's a problem with it.

Seems the same, if not better than the 4.

 

[Tom]

Well 5.0.1 is out to developers. So it didn't take weeks.

 

[Sym0n]

And all the devs that have installed it and posted about it are saying that it's drastically improved the battery life, although I'm unsure if they are all on 4S' or differing models. iOS5 has always given me worse battery life than 4.X, but as 5 does so much more I have put it down as an excusable reduction. I still get a full day of hammering my 4 without it going flat, it's usually just hitting ~20% about the time that I'd normally be putting it on charge anyway.

 

[AK]

I get half a day, lol.

FML.

 

[Truffs]

Im having to charge the 4s on the way home, 3g would last until 8-9 before i needed juice

Re: How long did it take for your 4s to arrive??

Can the mod that moved this new thread into here please put it back in a seperate thread as it will get no reponse on here?? Please?

Lol, i knew it wouldnt be within 2-4 days, she just said that to get you to buy it.

It doesnt warrant its own thread as well, hence why it was moved.

 

[C.J]

I get half a day, lol.

FML.

I just hit 3 days.

 

[Dave Hester]

I just hit 3 days.

Having no friends ftw!

That's usage, standy is more.

 

[AK]

Lol.

 

[C.J]

I joke. But it's still pretty much the same each day.

 

[Coby.]

I know how to take a photo of the screen but how are you uploading them on here?

Also.... Emails, for some reason I have the number 2 beside my trash in mail but it is empty? I had a 1 there the other day but it's now a 2.... Anyone able to tell me why?

 

[C.J]

Either I upload to Photobucket, then paste the link, or when on TapaTalk just add the file.

 

[Coby.]

I had a look on tapatalk but maybe I need to look harder

 

[Rob]

Honestly, there's nothing quite like having a brand new iPhone in your hand, just so fresh.

 

[Coby.]

Agreed.... I just pick it up and flick through it and then put it down, So quick compared to my OLD 3G

 

[Jaff.]

had my 4s a few days now and upgrading from a BB i can honestly say ive been living in the dark ages! the only thing i do miss is m blackbery messenger!

anyway since having the phone i drained it and fully charged it the first day i had it and the batery has bee OK at best. but i have put this down to me picking it up and playing with it every 5 mins so i was going to wait untill i can leave it alone to see the true sate of the batery, only now its on 89% after being charged to 100% from 13% last night. so since 8 o clock this morning after taking it off charge, ive harldy used it and its down to 89%... this cant be right?

also wondering if the hardcore can help me... on the blackberry to close any app o feature i had open i clicked the BB buton then "close" and it closed the application so the batery lasts, how do i o this with the iphone? does the home button do the same job? because ive pressed the home button then gone back to a game 10 ins later and its still running?

and with safari, how do you completley close it down? because if you leave a page running then press the home button, when you press safari later on the page os still there...

this cant be good for battery?

scuse my inoobness im still getting used to it, havent had an apple product since the original ipod mini!

This should help mate.

 

[Jaff.]

BRILLIANT! thanks for that i litterally had EVRYTHING running lol. hopefully bettery life will imporve somewhat now haha

 

[MattW]

Look like you're saying that it dropped 11% in 3 hrs - I'd say that's fairly typical tbh.

Makes no difference.

Unless it's something like the iPod actually playing music etc, then the background apps aren't using any battery.

 

[Tom]

Beta 2 has tripled my battery life. 16 hours 51% remaning.

 

[AK]

Sounds promising.

 

[Rob]

Extremely!

When I first got it I discharged it fully and charged it to 100%, then repeated.

I'm happy with the battery life, so much better than my 3gs!

Worth saying i've only used it for phonecalls, texting and a little browsing, mainly today and on william hill. Oh and sky sports app today.
I purposley stayed off apps to see what the battery life was like without using them.

 

[MattW]

Is anyone else having real grief with Contacts - I suspect related to the cloud?

Seems that if I modify a contact, I get 2 of them. Then if I delete one of them, they both go.

Mines being delivered on Tuesday, shall i open it or wait for a jailbreak? i.e can you jailbreak after registering it?

 

[Coby.]

This was my battery on 1st day of receiving so straight out the box with no charging

 

[Josh220]

Ah not as long a wait as I'd feared. My iPhone 4s is on its way!

 

[BatFastard]

Just bought a 4s from Apple on an impulse. Enjoying it do far!

how is that possible? if theyre running in the background they must be taking up some juice?

still not receiving a good run out of the battery. i use it a fair bit but by 5 o clock this evening it was on 4% after being charged fully overnight (it came off charge at 5 in the morning) so realistically, whatever the stats on the phone say im getting 12 hours use out of it using it as normal... my BB's battery used to last me all day at least (granted it didnt have as many apps or fun things to do on it, but i was using BBM and the internet all the time!)

 

[Revels]

It isn't running.
