That's actually really useful. My iPhone is being delivered any minute now so will have a proper read through tonight, thanks again.

it looks intriguing, how difficult is it to set up for every login?

edit - I just tried it with amazon, went to the page in Safari, it's blank....? Does it not auto fetches info from the app?

This shows you how its done. It worked great for me while I used it.

Preparing for dispatch, was suppose to be 22-29th Oct.

money has been deducted

They do that just to get your hopes up. Mine has been 'Preparing for dispatch' for a week now.

Does anyone else here constantly charge their phone throughout the day?

I can only go by experience but my in-laws killed their iPhone (3GS & 5) battery by constant cradle charging and in contrast I killed by iPod battery by only charging after it was completely dead.

What would be much more helpful is to find out who here has poor iPhone battery life and how they were charging.

My iPhone 4 is going strong for over 4 years now, I only charge at night and I still have about 20% battery left at the end of the day! I use it a lot for whatsapp/browsing/youtube but barely play games.

EDIT: You know what, in reflection, I hate when I see blanket statements like that and I just made one. My iPhone 4 is four years old but I stopped using it for one year and I'd say the battery length is in reality quite poor. Very different from what I said above. I completely had to stop playing any games and mainly (somewhat sparingly) use it for whatsapp/browsing/reddit but rarely for youtube to get juice that lasts the entire day.

I was doing that but still killed my Phone 5 battery. Started switching off at 30 % and all sorts. But then the iphone had a known issue with battery and had a replacement program.

I use it in the day and charge it when I go to bed. If at work I see it drop under 50% and it's only midday I'll charge it again. I rarely kill it flat or leave it on all day charging.

I thought they didn't take payment though until its actually ready for dispatch? or is that "preparing for dispatch"?

Sais I cant cancel online now, so no more reserve watching,.

What's the best way to transfer all my contacts from the SIM on my old S3 onto my new nano iP6 SIM?

 

[MagicBoy]

Contacts on the SIM? 2001 wants it's phone back!

 

[Fuggan]

It's not been a problem until now, these damned nano SIMs have scuppered my usual method of flop old card out and new one goes in!

 

[MagicBoy]

Sync them to Google cloudy stuff then back to the iPhone?

SIM contacts never supported multiple numbers for the same person that I recall. You can import into the iPhone from a SIM : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4994

 

[Fuggan]

That's an idea yeah. I've got all my old contacts on here now that've been put on from the iCloud so thinking about just going oldschool and starting afresh.

Sync with your Gmail account, then setup your phone with the same email and sync contacts back to phone.

 

[Fuggan]

Sorted it, exported from S3 to .vcf, imported into iCloud.

I was a little scared to try this GMail sync on iOS, when I attempted the sync on my Android it was a complete mess.

I'd be able to access sync'ed contacts in some apps and not others... they weren't stored in the built-in contacts but as soon as I tried to create a new contact it would give options for existing contacts?!?!?!

 

[Kanpai]

Also another thing, I've tried importing my SIM contacts, it will import most of them, but then at the bottom of the list it will display all the numbers again with no names. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Anyone?

 

[Xire]

Just got my 6+

Half of the apps are not optimized for it...somewhat annoying, hope this will be sorted asap, even chrome isn't right.

I don't quite understand what you mean, but I can assure you that I've used gmail to sync my contacts before and it was perfect. Buuuut, now that they've temoved push, I use iCloud to sync my contacts instead.

Your contacts will be stored in contacts/phone and creating a contact will create a contact

I've noticed a couple of apps look poor on the 6. WhatsApp and Gmail off the top of my head, font size looks massive.
