If you hit it hard enough you don't even need the key.

You're only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off

[d000hg]

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.

No, not just any key, it has to be a bump key.

Currently looking into a plan B, to get me out of this hell that is being a crappy IT contractor.
I was sent through some study docs last week, one of them was a guide on lock picking! Looks quite interesting.

But I digress. I still hate my tulipty phone.

Give me a fiver and I will take it off your hands.

I for one, won't be storing my fingerprints on a phone thank you very much.

The only redeeming feature is that there is a new bling bling gold one which will sell to footballers wives, drug dealers, pimps and IT contractors. Ahh, go on then.

But you do every time you pick one up!

I'll be having the gold one me thinks.

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

Battery life is dreadful. And I mean dreadful. Will be dead within 6 hours if I dare to use it too much.
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.
I'll get a text message flash up on the screen saying I have a voicemail, but my phone hasn't even rung.

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?

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.

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.

My Galaxy is no better.

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.

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

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.

Anyone know the French for déjà vu?

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

Ironically I was posting from my PC not Phone

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)
