iPhone 6 thread.

[Rob]

If anyone else happens to need a new screen on their 6, apple charge £79 and it only takes them 45min-1hour to do.

Smashed mine to bits last night. But I'll be paying for a full replacement as opposed to just the screen.

Guy in shop 'uh oh, what happened to that?'
Me 'about 12 pints that's what happened' LOL.

Got something up with mine only just realised. I only have around 100 songs 500 pics and a couple of short videos but my memory is saying its full. I can't even take pictures or download new apps.
Iv been to carphone warehouse this morning and the bloke in there hasn't seen anything like it before. He agreed the total of memory used in 'usage' was around 3gb. Tried a couple of resets with no luck. Tried Apple chat and got told I need to delete stuff or buy more storage!
Anyone else heard of any problem like this. Looks like my only choice is to go to the apple shop which is going to mess up a Sunday as the nearest one is to me is an hour away.
My phone isn't the latest software version as that requires 963mb of data and I would need to delete everything on my phone to do it.

 

[Stay Puft]

I've got no songs, quite a few pictures, about 5 apps and mine says it's full regularly, so I have to delete a few texts then it lets me take pictures. I have the lowest spec one, whatever that is.

I'm trying to work out how to post a screenshot of my useage to post here from my phone..

Lowest spec smart phone? Samsung? Htc?

 

[V6Dan]

Mine is only 16gb as well but so was my iPhone 5 and I had a lot more stuff on that than this one. Iv deleted all old texts and whatsapp chats. I'm convinced there's something wrong with mine

Lowest memory I meant.

I just assumed it was a punishment for picking the lowest memory, but it is crap for £47.50 per month! I had loads more on my iphone 4 8gb aswell, about 50 songs, same amount of pictures etc etc.

 

[Stay Puft]

I've just done a quick google because now i've seen you have the same problem it got me wondering..

''Some iPhone 6 And iPhone 6 Plus Handsets Could Carry Faulty Memory as users reportedly complain about faulty memory. You better need to report in Apple Store.''

91% apparently report this aswell.. worth a read..

[V6Dan]

I tried speaking to them earlier and I just ended up getting frustrated. Ill try again another day. I know there's something wrong with it.
Sounds like your phone could have the problem as well @Davyy as you sound like you've got less on yours than me.

 

[Stay Puft]

Doesn't seem like an error though, it just seems like a 'tough luck' thing, as it seems it's the same with all.

 

[V6Dan]

Well without doing anything today my phone says iv got 7gb of memory available. Fixed itself!

 

[PP200t]

Mine has been replaced for a 'clicky' screen, and my wife's has been replaced for a faulty charging port. We haven't had the memory issue though. Other than that we love them!

 

[CrippsCorner]

Anyone had problems with people not being able to hear you? I can hear them perfectly... only ever happens halfway through a call! Really frustrating, especially when you were on hold for 15 minutes with Homebase.

I bet you move your little finger over the microphone

My boss does it all the time, poorly placed.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Not sure about that! I'll keep an eye on it though. Phoned back Homebase and got to someone else and call completed without a hitch.

Is there anywhere cheaper than direct from Apple for a sim free 6 64gb at £619?

I can get them tax free, but with a german plug, your're local to me to if you're interested?

 

[DrR]

Gonna get myself a 6, is any of the colours less hard wearing than others? I know the gold was less hard wearing on the 5s?

 

[paddymph]

I got my gold 6 on release day and PeaPod case on it. Been brilliant and honestly looks brand new. Mine gets a hard time and is used a lot.

 

[aucky]

I'm still finding that the Music app and iTunes Match can't really cope with large libraries.

I thinned it down to 90GB but it still freezes and pauses

 

[eves]

My iPhone 6 keeps rebooting!! Anyone else noticed this on theirs?

 

[*Badger*]

Finally upgraded.

6, 64Gb, Unlimited Texts & Calls, 4Gb 4G Data.
£59.00 a month on a 12 month contract, £40 up front.
Can upgrade/downgrade to Sim only after 9 months so need to be hot on that.
Works out at 9 x 59 + 40 + (3 x 15 for Sim only for eg) = £616 for 12 months.
The phone itself is £619 from Apple so basically the tariff is free.
Good old customer service on EE for this one.

Nice, although I bet they'd fucked up royally to prompt them offering you something like that?

 

[imprezaworks]

That's a great deal

No mess up really. Phoned up to get the best SIM only deal as was originally set in buying the phone direct from Apple for £619 and then £10-15p/m sim only. Their SIM only offer was a bit gash so just asked about contracts, all the 2 year ones were rubbish but this 12 month one is cheaper overall than buying direct from Apple. The upfront cost was the only reduction from their customer retentions team, should have been £150 but got it for £40 I have been an Orange/EE customer for 11 years though.

Oh fair enough, I've been fucked about by them royally for 18 months now so will be interesting to see what they offer come October :smile: Sods law it won't even be as good as that!

I was lucky I got a good North East Geordie guy straight away in retentions and we were just honest with each other, he knew I'd sign for a decent deal so there was no messing about.

 

[imprezaworks]

Not the same but.

I've been with orange for thirteen years, maybe longer. I wanted the 5s, was happy with that phone. Initialy tried to charge me £180 for the phone, lol.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Damn I would have loved another 12 month contract but they said there was no chance! well done.

 

[*Badger*]

I'm on my 6 now, must admit I'm pleased with it. Decent upgrade over my previous 5.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Anyone know how you can just retrieve picture messages rather than having to go to orange/re website and log in?
Is it a setting on the phone or is it with the carrier?

 

[Al_G]

I've read conflicting reports. Are there any issues changing an iPhone 6 @ 2A (portable battery charger) rather than the usual 1A? Are you shortening the battery life or risk blowing up the device?

I know nothing about current/electrics etc.

 

[AdDaMan]

Looking forward to upgrading my 128GB 6 in 3 months when the new ones out...why didn't you guys just wait?

They can handle it. IIRC iMac will charge them faster due to higher output. I've used a 2.1A iPad charger on mine since day 1 as it's faster and not had any issues.

 

[DrR]

Does the phone not have a resistor in it? So any is fine?

 

[Al_G]

From what I've read the battery will only suck what it can handle...in theory lol.

Please don't quote me though.

 

[DannyR]

Missus always used an iPad charger and I used normal. I would always get better life out of mine.

 

[AdDaMan]

I always thought the chargers are the same? I've mixed and matched for years and years.

 

[DrR]

Nope, iPad one gives out higher amps.
