This phone is not too bad for me though, especially the return to the curved sides, a la the original iPhone. rclxms.gif

At least it's something different from the range of straight-sided iPhones since the 4! thumbup.gif

So, if the phone turns off the WiFi automatically after being idle for some time, can you guys still receive messages via messaging services like WhatsApp and WeChat or Facebook notifications? I assume once WiFi is disconnected, mobile data will be up? unsure.gif

Got it. Now I know why some people say iOS drains data. laugh.gif
Not good for those having little data plan. sweat.gif

Anyway, I was close to purchasing an iPhone 6 Plus yesterday's evening. I checked out the stock availability at senQ Seremban 2 yesterday. Coincidentally it has the variant and colour that I want. Plus, it allows on the spot Maybank TreatsPoint redemption. Then the sales person continued, I cannot buy the phone the outright. I have to buy it bundled with packages, either with accessories or extended warranty. I said what kind of ruling is this I don't need all those. He said I must if I want to purchase from senQ.
OK lo, I guess it's pretty confirmed I won't be buying any iPhone at this moment, will wait till next generation.

If u turn of background data for whatsapp how to receive messages  doh.gif

Have been using this trick for a while. Turn off background app for whatsapp. But turn on notification. New messages will still come in as notification. But full msg will only load once u go inside the app. Otherwise it's double whammy for the battery.

Is it true that iPhone 6/6+ tend to hold charges better or stay longer without any battery drop at 100% than other %? Because mine can last very long when 100%, but yesterday when I sleep is 88% wake up 85% with wifi 3G off, used awhile with 3G then drop to 81-82%.

Considering that some people still can't get hold of iPhone 6 stocks, the "ordinary" phone is still selling like hot cakes. No need for Apple to rush for new rumours yet..

Yes, this phone has one of the most efficient standby stats I've seen. My phone stats - unplug from charger at 8am - yesterday smile.gif

Yup, this is one way of doing it, but for me when I go into the app to read the message, it will like a second or two to load (depending on cellular signal or WiFi strength) so it feels like a little lag, So I've enabled background refresh for my Whatsapp. No point being too concerned with conserving battery, me thinks smile.gif

new 6+ user here. is it advisable to turn on both wifi and data at the same time? or just on turn which one you want to use only? e.g. at home just turn on wifi only and when on the road just turn data only. thanks

Yes, that's what we do. When there's WiFi nearby or at home, turn on, if not, turn it off.

Wow, never knew that SenQ has such a requirement! So unfair, if people are desperately seeking to change their phone to the Apple one and the only shop selling it is a SenQ! blink.gif

And if you bought it with packages, how much would the phone have cost you then, fruitie?

For me, I keep both switched on at the same time.

When I'm on the road, the 3G or LTE will be activated so that I can use WhatsApp, use Google Maps to check on the traffic situation, post status updates on Google+, etc. And if the place I'm at has WiFi, this will be utilized after I get the ID and password (if applicable), so that I can save my 3G usage! thumbup.gif

I don't think that's possible, unfortunately. sad.gif

Looking at the snapshot of the "Photos & Camera" section in Settings, there's no such feature allowing you to move new photos to your new album, unless you want to save a copy of the shots in your iCloud.

With screen protectors and casings or extended warranty by senQ.
I'm not sure if this only happens in Seremban branch will find some time to file a complaint on its FB.
