Team-BHP - The iPhone Thread

Did you try with a different SIM? I have witnessed this issue during the recent chennai floods and my iphone 6 plus was not getting tower while my wifes 4s seemed to be working fine, both on airtel. Also noticed that 3G/4G seems to be weaker than 2G for voice, atleast in Chennai. So I typically sent it to 2G and when I need to use data is when I turn on LTE.

I was at chennai over the weekend and had issues several times connecting to Airtel on 4G and 3G. I had to switch over to 2G and internet starts working an hour or so later. :Frustrati

Should I contact airtel once? I am paying for 4G/3G data.

Same here. 4G hardly worked twice or thrice on my 6S in the last one month. The response to my service ticket was installation of a new tower near the locations from where I raised the issue. :Shockked:

I just tried writing a sms to one contact, then left it half way and wrote another sms to other contact leaving it half written.
came out of sms app.
again visited sms app and checked these half left sms for both contacts and they were there only. i could continue writing from where i left.

hope i explained and not misunderstood your requirement.

Hello Nicky,

This is exactly what I am unable to do.

Many times I am interrupted while writing a new SMS by an incoming SMS. When I try to go back to a half written SMS I see that it has disappeared. Is the draft not saved automatically.

Can I request you to post a screenshot of the screen you get when you go back to the half written SMS please.

Thanks a ton.

I was on AirTel. On both domestic & roaming network/s.

Updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 9.2.
Haven't observed anything worth commenting upon as yet.

Do consider that option.

Thanks.

It seems that if one write a new sms one must write the address first. Else it will go poof.

Thanks again.

iOS 9.3 should be out soon. Don't see a lot of value add. Looks like subsequent updates will all revolve around force touch; so iPhone 6 and below will face hardware limitations.

Look for a cheaper 3rd party service. The battery costs roughly 7-800 rupees, and for someone eho has the right tools, takes about 5 minutes to open up and replace

Check out battery replacement kits on eBay. For about 8-900 bucks you get all the tools+ battery. Might look tricky to open, but if you follow online instructions, it's easy to do DIY.

Ordered iPhone 5S 32gb for dad from Maple for 28k after exchanging his old Note 2. They don't have the phone in stock right now, but expected in 2-3 days. Didn't find the 32gb anywhere online for similar price.

iOS 9.3 isn't out, but an interim update 9.2.1 is:
