iPhone 5.

[Munson]

Well yes but only paupers buy phones on c**tract.

 

[Goodj]

This is true

CS won't even let you type it, it's that 3rd-world

 

[C.J]

I tried a reboot/reset, and I'm still getting the purple lines

When I have time, I'll have to take it back to Apple.

 

[SC03OTT]

Booked into the Apple store for Saturday afternoon. The power button is properly doing my tits in now, as is that assistive touch nonsense I'm having to use.

I quite fancy a white iPhone 5 though. Is it cheeky to ask to replace my black one with a white? Will they tell me to jog on? Might ask anyway, they can only say no.

 

[Tom]

They will. (say no)

 

[SC03OTT]

I see what you did there.

 

[Gavin.]

They will say no, I tried when I went in.

 

[George182]

I get the purple lines too! But infrequently - let me know what they say!

 

[Owen92]

Has any tried the non Apple charging leads? If so, are they ok?

 

[Matt26]

I used to get purple lines, but only when I was in the App Store. A recent software update cured it from what I remember.

Yes and yes.

 

[imprezaworks]

Any ideas after i changed my password to my email account on the phone why i cant view and inbox/outbox/sent messages?

 

[Chapppers11]

Some of them are. Others are pap.

 

[imprezaworks]

Also says that its trying to download the emails but nothing happens after a time. I cant read sent emails etc either

Try deleting the mail account and readding it from the Settings app.

 

[imprezaworks]

yeah done that mate. Had an issue with my password so had to get it reset, seems to working ok-ish now.

 

[VeinAST]

Got either a camera fault or dust behind the lens! Would they whip the back off and clean it or would it be replacement? (I don't want a replacement btw)

Whip off the back how?

 

[Deeg]

Yes and yes.

Got some from Amazon without issue.

 

[Tom]

Charging cables aren't a problem, its the adaptors that dont work.

 

[Tim.]

My £2 adapters work perfectly - they charge fine and I can use them to hook up to my Alpine H/U in the car with full display and control on the H/U, the dash display and via the stalks. No fires either..... yet.

 

[Tom]

Link me up. I've tried about 5 and none of them work properly.

 

[Tim.]

According to my Amazon order history it was this, however, the ones I received don't have either of the 'CaseGuru' graphics on them, nor did I get a pen with them. Sorry Tom.

 

[VeinAST]

Whip off the back how?

I'm not an Apple tech hence the question Tom I'm sure there's a way to remove the back without smashing the thing on the floor

 

[Goodj]

The genuine ones mostly work fine

Mostly

LOL f**king kripton factor

 

[Sym0n]

Good news is that replacing the screen is a s**t load easier on the 5 than it was on the 4. But the back...naaaaaar I'm never, ever, giving that a go. Ever.

 

[Andy.]

I've just made an appointment to get my 5 looked at as the camera has black marks all over it and every photo that it makes. After a quick google it sounds like a fairly common issue. Hopefully they'll just swap it for a new one.

 

[Goodj]

Hopefully they'll just swap it for a working, refurbished one

That's more likely.

 

[Munson]

Still loving mine. Hasn't got a mark on it and isn't bent.

 

[Jaff.]

Lol mine bent at the top left corner.

​Dropped on a tiled floor flat on its back and it's straight know! B-)

 

[ColinG]

Taking mine to genius on Sunday as its now just about impossible to get it to charge, have to put the cable in one way only and wiggle it about for ages till it connects, not the cable either as I have 2 genuine leads and it's the same in the car

​

 

[Jaff.]

Mines getting silly hot latley too, gonna have to take it back

 

[Munson]

My 5 is the opposite. Always pretty cold.

 

[ColinG]

Yeah mine never gets hot, been pretty pleased with it since launch, yes it's chipped and has a few marks etc but it's a phone I'm not bothered about it being mint condition it's there to do a job..

 

[VeinAST]

Well that's fair enough!

My camera is now like this permanently:

 

[ColinG]

Help!!!

got my replacement iphone today from the genius bar, the guy in the shop erased my old handset back to factory and then swapped my sim into the new one,

have just got home and tried to activate the phone, and it keeps saying "we are sorry we are unable to continue with your activation at this time"

So at the moment i cant do sweet FA as i have no phone or anything...

 

[Tom]

How are you activating? on device or through itunes?

 

[Poopensharten]

My new 5 has been great, not that impressed with the battery life though?

Fantastic phone though, browsing on the internet is so quick. Quicker than the laptop i'd say lol.
