iPhone 5S

[Bunk]

I am OK with my iPhone 5, no plans to go to the 5s, like you I have dropped call issues, but this is in regular geographic locations so think its more likely to be network coverage, battery life is much better since moving to iOS7, can easily go a full day of use (and I mean heavy use, music/podcasts playing all day)

It does have that double-posting issue though, I'd get that sorted

I'm hoping for wonderful things from iOS7. An end to all my iPhone woe.

Anyone know the French for déjà vu?

Ironically I was posting from my PC not Phone

I've been using it for a few months, it's definitely better, and you get used to the new style surprisingly quickly but I doubt it will fix your problems. I've never had those problems making or receiving calls so I can't say for sure, but it's unlikely to be a software issue.

Battery life is dreadful. And I mean dreadful. Will be dead within 6 hours if I dare to use it too much.

My Galaxy is no better.

Phone cuts out mid conversation with "Call Failed" displayed on the screen. If I try calling the person back, all I see is "call failed" for a few minutes. This happens every single day without fail. I once had to try calling my wife 17 times before I finally got through.

Same for me but I have to say I get through to your wife first time in less than ring. May not be your phone.

I'll get a text message flash up on the screen saying I have a voicemail, but my phone hasn't even rung.

Had this for the last 7 years of phones. It's not Apple.

have spoken to Orange, have had a new sim, account reset, phone restore - still happens. Orange deny its anything to do with them. A friend of mine on o2 also has these "call failed" issues on their 5 too, so not pointing the finger at Orange.
Apple have replaced the handset and still it happens.

As I say had these problems on a number of different handsets and I am on Vodafone.

Not saying I'm NOT a dick, but I didn't have any issues like this on the 4s so I have to assume the 5 has problems.
Problems for me anyway.

And me on both Android and whatever pap operating system the N900 used to use.

I've also had my 5 replaced 3 times in less than a year due to other issues, so perhaps my judgement is somewhat clouded, but my experience of it hasn't been good.
I do regret not waiting for the 5s. Damn my impulsive must upgrade immediately attitude.

[proggy]

Same phone again, was hoping for a larger screen like most other manufactures now offer. I used to get excited about apple releases now it's just minor upgrade profit making machine. Get Tim Cook out he is an innovation vacuum. My next phone will be a Samsung.

Sounds like a dodgy handset. You should be able to get 6 hours of video playback out of it, unless you meant using it solidly for 6 hours drains it?

Wonder if it can be defeated with cellotape like a lot of finger print sensors...

My neighbour has a finger print sensor instead of a key to get into the house. MIght need to get the cellotape out!

But saying that the yale lock is not much better, put any yale key into a yale lock, whack it from behind with a block of wood and you're in.
