[pioneer]

Strauss, I emailed powermax jsut now asking if they accept international credit cards and can ship to bonafide secondary addresses in the US...this was their reply...

"Thank you for your interest in PowerMax. We do appreciate your business, but at this time we do not export Apple computers, displays, iPads, iPod or accessories. Apple won't allow it. In addition, we do not accept international credit cards.

Nokia Lumia and their effect

I find it looks good tho but it would be funny if apple goes any bigger than they actually are, considering when the iPhone 5 was first announced with the specs and size they did a long ass speech about why they didn't need to go bigger and the big debate people had over screen sizes and justifying the little increase in screen the Apple fans got with the iPhone 5.

Played with a Nokia this weekend, symbian^3 still cool as ever...

You check to see if Richard has Extreme?

With the extreme you can plug in an external HDD to it and use it as a network drive for PC and Mac. The HDD turns it into a Time Capsule backup. (I can't live without Time Machine now).

Locally you also have

Good day tuners,

Is it possible to gift a app, for example whatsapp, while I on the US store to a user that is on the TT store?

You cannot gift an app

You can either buy the person an iTunes gift card or give them your iTunes login - they can change accounts, login with your account, buy the app using your credit and then log back in with their account on their device.

They will have to enter your password each time they want to update the app though

Same here but I know of a few people who bought iPhone 5s from bmobile and are experiencing horrible battery life.

One of my friends can't go 5 hrs without having to recharge infact she charged her phone and took it off th charger at 3am and by 7am the battery life went down to 64% without touching the phone

When I trace the imei it appears in a Vietnam forum , when translated their stock and Bmobile stock matches also the activation dates match. So I assume they sent the lower grade iPhones to this region

Received my iPhone 5 last week (purchased from the apple store in ny). Battery life doesn't seem the be very good as I normally won't make it through the day without charging the phone in the afternoon. Came across several posts on the apple forums that seen to suggest that it is an iOS 6.02 issue. I can easily get 8 hours of movie watching and web browsing on my iPad 3. I'm lucky if I can get 5 hrs of constant use from this iphone5. I have tried resetting the device an disabling most of the background functions with the exception of 3G, Siri and some apps that require location services. Battery life still seems poor when compared to my iPad. The attached picture was taken after my phone was unplugged 7-8 hrs ago with approx 4 hrs of moderate use and the remainder on standby. Any iphone5 users willing to shed some light?

Try turning off Bluetooth, WiFi and 3G when not needed.
Also limit location services to those apps that really need it, disable it for the others, e.g. games, news apps, social apps etc...
Facebook can be a battery killer so limit it's functionality (notifications, badges etc)
Overall don't let every app have free reign of your iPhone otherwise your battery life will go down the toilet.

Hope this helps

I had the same problem/fear/fret but after a few charge cycles the battery seems to be "conditioned" now so a charges lasts tru an entire day

Keep in mind an iPad battery is bigger than an iPhone5 battery

yes with my iphone 5 the first few charges didnt last much but definitely battery life improves with time

Discharged the battery to 3% this afternoon before recharging. Hopefully it should improve like you guys said.

[pioneer]

about 5-6 charges you should see an improvement

[M_2NR]

Doesn't lithium batteries love to be charged a lot and drain cycles (100 to 0) actually weaken them?
From what i read it's good to charge them at any interval and once a month do a drain to 0 and charge to 100 and that keeps the meter conditioned.
Where iDuane?

[Aaron 2NR]

I have no battery issues tho

[SRASC]

Battery has been an issue for me since iOS 6.0.1 and carried on to 6.0.2. 6.0 was fine.
Lost 42% in 1.8 hrs a time. Friend of mine got a new 5 Christmas and was complaining already of the battery life (is on 6.0.1).
Haven't checked but I am pretty sure there are a couple of threads on Apple's Discussions boards about it

Yeah once a month drain to less than 20%

After a few "normal" charges right out the box the life improves

ImageUploadedByTapatalk1357341908.537171.jpg

the phone's been plugged in since the last full charge

[Aaron 2NR]

That was just to sync something but I've never experienced battery issues like I've heard from some people.
While I may not be looking at videos all day, I'm on the phone a lot (voice) and emails and I could go 1.5 days-2 days on a full charge.

Leaving Facebook logged in kills the battery very fast, a lot of background apps as well.

[Parvin]

That was quick

Getting nothing near that. Took my phone off the charger at 12am and when I checked it at 8am the battery was at 86%. The only things that should have been used during those 8 hrs were:

(1) connected to wifi and cellular
(2) got a couple whatsapp messages
(3) Had my email set to fetch every hr (took push email off)
(4) Facebook logged in the background (thinking about deleting/disabling the Facebook account)

Are you on ios 6.02?

This sounds a lot like my iPhone since I got it three weeks ago. It came with iOS 6.01 installed and I upgraded to iOS 6.02 the same day I received it. Therefore can't really comment on battery life on iOS 6.0.

[Aaron 2NR]

I only log in to fb when I need to check something. My emails are of fetch every 15mins...

Took off Facebook. Let's see if it will make a difference.

You need to individually convert songs to be able to use them as ringtones?

Google says due to some SDK restriction on iPhone, ringtones can have a max length of 40s

[Kenjo]

yes 40 seconds maximum then the song plays on repeat for that segment,you can create the song your self or use free apps like ringtone on your phone to either download ringtones or use mp3 on your phone to select the segment of the song you want,the song must have the extension m4r and you still need to go through itunes to sync the song to the phone
lots of different combinations just to get a piece of a ringtone

[GTcruzer]

If you have a song you want to use (not a music file downloaded from iTunes)
Load the track in your iTunes library
Make an acc version of the file
Copy the acc version to the desktop (or wherever)
Change the file extension from .m4a to .m4r
Load file back into iTunes
Transfer to iPhone. It'll be in your ringtones section

& you don't need to reduce the length of the track. None of my ringtones are less than 40s & the track plays out for as long as the phone rings or goes to voicemail.

[pete]

Now I know why so many people with iphones just use the regular ringing tone.
