I got the same feeling when I first got my 6+. First impression was ui was not so smooth, apps were opening and closing so fast and fluidity was somehow lacking on the phone. Maybe because I was expecting too much from the phone but one thing for sure, it was not as smooth and fluid like my OPO which I just replace with the 6 +. For me, all I could summarize from this is that
1) Android performs much better than before and is now as fluid and smooth as Ios.
2) Apple putting in mediocre hardware on the iphone (this will anger die hard apple can do no wrong fanboys). I proved my point when Apple put in 2GB of ram into their Ipad Air 2.

I agree with you fully on this
Being an Android user mainly, I do find my ex Oppo Find 7 and LG G Pro2 UI smoothness easily beats the ip6+ ( on 8.02) and quite similar with 8.1 installed. My current Note4 thumps it badly as of now
Who said iphone doesn't hang ? It does once a while - minor issues and just need press down home button again to restore it back
MY main grouse on its firmware is there is still some minor bug. Quite few times when I press down the home button it gives me landscape view and I couldn't rotate it back to portrait mode. I need to press down again the home button for it to go back to portrait mode. Notice this happening only on 8.1 and not in earlier versions 8.01, 8.02

am I the only one who thinks that apple's keyboard is perfect after trying out almost all the keyboards that're available for iOS

I am using Swiftkey as alternative. Had never like the Apple Keyboard as it freezes few times using it

Especially while driving. Dont text and drive though.  tongue.gif

Texting n driving is worst practice
My friend nearly lost his life and ended up 3 months in hospital
Don't ever think such accidents will not happen to anyone of us
You just need to see the accident victim to fully realize is a bad practice to use phone while driving

My whatsapp is lagging to the point that it's unusable and can't even relaunch properly. Dammit whatsapp update your app faster.

My whatsapp has been very good with no issues. I transfer over from my LG phone 2gb of data. Despite some users complain about it being poor I am very happy. I get on average 100 WA messages a day

After reading all the inputs today on the lag in the 6 Plus, and cross referencing with other users in other online forums, maybe it's good that I hold on to my decision to purchase the phone just yet. biggrin.gif
*
The lag is only very minor n it only pop up once a while. I believe subsequent firmware updates will improve it further. It is not lag till phone is unusable

Has been using the ip6+ past 3 weeks and had yet to experience any crashes on whatsapp. In fact I had previously transfer over 2gb whatsapp data from my Android LG phone.
No issues either with SwiftKey as Apple Keyboard still freeze up Ocassionally
Strange different user has different issues with phone
Main bug is still few times phone on with landscape mode n rotating it won't change to portrait mode. I needed to press home button again to have it into portrait mode.

I don't understand why several users said whatsapp lag or crashed. It is close to perfect on my ip6+ and i transfered over 2gb Android data over
It has been fine since day one
Already in my 3rd week using the phone
Absolutely no lag or crash
My whatsapp receipt n post average 100+ a day
However whatsapp is much better on Android phone

Had just finished restoring back my phone

Wow, that's not acceptable when the 8.1.1 is out mean you may lose your jailbreak until iOS9 unless Pangu still can jailbreak iOS8.1.1 and beyond. I still haven't gotten my phone hope when I get it is already 8.1 and Apple hasn't release 8.1.1 to public. What happen to you is the most scary to me for preserving the jailbreak. Did you try to get to safe mode? Booting it up and press Volume up button can get you to safe mode and uninstall any suspicious apps.
*
JB is not important to me. Losing it is no big deal except I miss the convenience of using Virtual Home
Pangu in its website has promised JB even for 8.1.1
Anyway all these JB guys has always managed to patch a JB solution to all Apple firmware updates
So is seriously a small problem
Safe mode ?? Cannot work !!

Can you boot into recovery mode now? I would suspect it to be a hardware failure as software failures rarely happens on iphones. If it can go into recovery mode and recovers, keep monitoring for corrupt data and apps. Its a sign of disk failure.
*
I had successfully restore back my phone with all its apps
Will definitely monitor it
Jokingly , seriously, I hope it is not because I had decided to give it up using it as my main phone yesterday. My test 3 weeks period on it as my main phone is over and had finally decided it to be my secondary phone
Functionality wise it can never match my previous Androids especially the Note4

Agreed on the android part. But im not bringing it up again here. Too many fanbois here.  laugh.gif
Anyway, there is no worry on your part. I mean if hardware failure the better. Can get a new replacement unit in one week time.  thumbup.gif  Can sell it off after that.

Well I would need to go in to Singapore to do that. Seriously hope is just a random problem and not hardware related

If yours is an Apple Store Sg unit, you can claim RMA at local resellers here. You can call Apple store's hotline to check on the origin of your unit.

I bought it from a LowYat shop but I had verify is indeed a Singapore source unit from its serial number/imei

I think I know why my ip6+ failed to boot this morning. Is highly probable due to JB icleaner app incompatibilty . I was warn before running it that it was for ios7 but I proceeded with it. Probably some bootup files got corrupted during cleaning process
Well I had restart my ip6 5 times since this morning n no problems at all
