Leave MG Man alone nah ..

He likes compact small phones . Same here .

[ .. Do a survey ? Women like large screen phone . Real Men like small ]

iPhones give no problems.

Other than if they fall on hard surface - they damage but can fix easy .

RedVEVO approved .

I'm pretty sure i can find a post of yours from 2007 where you said the first iPhone had no physical keyboard and you need to feel the keys to that's why you holding on to whatever phone you currently had.

yes I did, and I held on to my basic nokia as long as I could
I didn't buy a blackberry because I find those tiny keys frustrating to use
I have another larger phone and I hate using it, vs my SE

Anyone ever used a dual sim adapter? And if so how did it work?

Via bluetooth connection. . .. heavy battery drain

I recently switched the other day to an physical dual sim device

Toting two phone really was a task

Was looking at this but skeptical a bit

Or might just end up buying a dual sim phone

yea … easier to use a dual sim.... plus most out there have the parallel apps feature.... example with the current dual sim, I have WhatsApp for my personal number and another WhatsApp icon on the home screen for my work number

Dual Sim phone would be my rec-
Single phone as triad said is less headache as it consolidates everything into one unit

Get a ruggedized phone

Just throwing it out there. Don’t waste your time buying used iPhone 6s’. The free battery replacement program may be ending soon and even after this replacement, your battery will still go bad.

anything pre iphone 8 will be pressure

currently have an SE in constant bootloop - i would tend to believe it's the battery that degraded and causing this now

Can back up using iTunes on a pc or use iCloud with Apple ID to restore on new phone after backing up old phone.

correct, easiest thing to do
when you log in with your AppleID on the new device, everything including whatsapp, txt, phone numbers, everything gets moved over

Once it is using the latest iOS 12, use the iCloud route. The latest iTunes for backing up and restoring is no longer a viable option.

Tr1ad, ifixit battery replacement for dat. Or you replaced it already?

Anybody did a battery replacement themself on a retina MacBook Pro? Have a 2012 one and wondering if to ifixit myself.

Did it on my 2014 MBP

Fairy straightforward in terms of opening up and disconnecting/reconnecting. The hardest part was getting past the adhesive holding the battery in place. Just be careful not to puncture it esp if you're using alcohol to weaken the adhesive.

Just checked the ifixit guide..... I didn't take everything out like they did.

Thanks. Thinking to use fishing wire to cut thru it rather than the chemicals. Also don’t want to take apart every single thing to do it. Where did you order your battery from? What symptoms did you have?

The battery was swollen and pushing up against the trackpad so it would no longer click.

I ordered mine off Amazon. I used isopropyl to help, but that battery is really stuck in there so I don't know how well that fishing wire will get under it.

Sidenote: I recently had to replace my speakers. It took some time but it was doable.... if you go that route, just keep all 600 screws in order

Tuner Bunny this is easy .

Order the battery from Amazon .

Pull it out and replace - instructions come with the battery .

Also order a computer tool set & mobile phone tool set - very useful .
