Mobile phones & tablets thread

Thanks, guys. I've been trying to figure out if my particular iPhone 6 has an issue with the battery or if what I'm experiencing is normal. I've turned off every feature that I can (and still maintain basic usability). But compared to my 4th gen iPod Touch and my iPad Mini Retina, the iPhone's battery life is dramatically lower. Talking on the phone doesn't hurt it at all. Texting doesn't deplete it too bad. But any sort of prolonged web surfing or app use seems to kill it within about 3-4 hours. When I'm off site now (or at home), I try to make sure I have my iPad with me if I think I'll need to web surf or use an app for any length of time. I have to be able to talk on the phone and can't afford to have a dead battery or be tied to a wall charger.

Time for a battery pack case or a trip to an Apple store, I guess.

My battery (iPhone 6) last an whole day, unless I take lots of pics. Otherwise I can surf on web, playing music, chatting, and take some photos without any problems. Rarely i have less than 35/40 % before bed time. Yes I am quite satisfied !

Well, after buying so many Apple devices over the years, I guess I was bound to get a dud sooner or later. I'll stop by an Apple store while my warranty is still in affect and let them run some tests or whatever they can do.

Finally bit the android bullet and got the Galaxy Note 5.

Battery life is fine at working, without wifi. At home the phone drains like crazy, I'll lose 30% without touching the phone for a couple of hours. Screen has an uneven tint: a pink bottom (apparently everyone has pink), a yellow mid section, and gets whiter at the top.

And to top all that off I've now got contact dermatitis which I suspect is from the phone.

Don't ditch Apple guys!

I cracked the screen of my Lumia few months ago, got it replaced and smashed it last month yet again :\ So last month finally moved to Android with a cheapo Lenovo...Went and smashed it's screen on the pavement last week

Bought a Moto G 4G now....seems ok, except for the the stupid Google search bar at the top which won't go away because this is a real android

Can't you install a different launcher to get rid of it?

[Storm]

That's what I did finally...anyways the stock android icons were too large ..but now the camera won't launch from the nova launcher and suddenly the speaker volume has gone way down...not sure if that is in anyway related to the launcher though.

Me neither I love my iPhone 6!

I was mighty impressed with the Galaxy S6 my mate bought. Premium feel that is almost on par with Apple. Shame he's shown me the lag and stuttering it has with very little stored on it. It's things like this that prevent me taking a gamble with Android again. I often get tempted but I know what I'm getting with the iPhone and it's a pleasure to use.

I have to applaud the decision to ditch Micro$oft and then disdain Apple
