Is your Background App Refresh on for Whatsapp?

yes it is but if you use android before you will know what i mean..

QUOTE(vivakarna @ Mar 10 2015, 09:14 PM)
yeah same here, when I was on android it instantly appears..maybe its the optimisation for the app accommodating ios spec. hehe
*
exactly.. now i understand why the batt can last so long.. it will fetch info from the server when opening the apps or when needed unlike android push it to the phone whether you open the apps or not.. hmm something i will have to give up perhaps.. and i notice the mail apps as well have to refresh to fetch new mail (i've set the fetch to hourly)

QUOTE(iArvage @ Mar 10 2015, 09:17 PM)
One of the things I miss on Android. When you get a notification that message is actually already downloaded into the phone. Unlike iOS, if you have a notification, you need to download the actual message when you open the app. (always happens when I have slow connections. I get the notification, open the app, nada then connecting...)

kind off annoyed me sometimes have to wait for connection even u have LTE or on a 20mbps wifi sweat.gif

Er... No la, I already made up my mind since January not buying anymore despite bought a lot of units but for other people. laugh.gif iPad? I have the iPad Mini Retina since last year's Red Sales. laugh.gif
To me, either I get it within few days or the most one month after a phone is out for sales, not like 3 months after that. It's considered a bit too long for me and won't bother buying it anymore. blush.gif
iPad was due to a last minute decision, bought it for FaceTime. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(666devil @ Mar 10 2015, 08:11 PM)
U r half wrong. It's also due to US currency damn high now. Many countries Apple device price increased. Go check out macrumors.com

Well, thanks for pointing it out but I doubt it will go down if US currency goes down.

Fairly new to iPhone.  Wanna ask the following:

In Contacts, how do I select the Grouping for the Contact?  Eg. Friends, Family, Co-Workers.  My contacts are synced with Google.

Anybody? Or the great iPhone cannot do this?

Guys is it me or this is a known issues for iphone?
Regarding whatsapp why is it have to wait for it to establish a connection when open? When the notification already tell you there is a message but if u straight away open have to wait for the connection then the message will appear.. sweat.gif
Was an android user where whatsapp is instantly readable when you received.. Or is there something i miss? hmm.gif

Same issue here even on wechat . Wechat is worst , once a while , u get a notification but its actually wechat connecting and connected to the server and nothing else . And u cant send any msg on whatsapp if you have no service unlike android where I used to reply while in the lift and send it , when i get out , it will auto send out when there's connection unless there's no connection for a long time . On IOS , the send button just grey/white out .

Yeah. These notifications and other annoyances are bugging me. There's also no official Google Keep app for iOS. Sure there's Notes, but it's not as good...

I also noticed Chrome does not maintain scrollback position (if I browse to another page and press back, I start from the top again). And if I bookmark a page, sometimes the Title of the page is the same as the URL and I have to type the title manually...

TBH , not only Chrome , most Google apps dont work well . Even Gmail gets delay most of the times instead of push . 1st , i thought was connection problem so I set it up in mail and indeed it's faster than gmail apps. The disadvantage , i cant select group anymore so i get my promotions , updates , etc all coming in together in 1 page where in gmail apps , i can select which folder i wan to get notification , leaving out promotions and updates

I have done it before but it is via the "Contacts" app on my MacBook. But since your contacts are synced via Google, I'm not sure whether this can be done or not though. hmm.gif

Yeah, you had better make sure, because my brother had a nasty experience when he bought the iPhone 6 from Dubai last year. While it worked well in both UAE, Malaysia, and Singapore, the phone simply could not access the 3G network in China, where my brother is primarily based! ohmy.gif

In the end, he traded in the phone for another iPhone 6 but this time, it's a Malaysia set, which worked well in China. And had to absorb the loss as a result! sad.gif

Xiaomi has a good power bank that you can consider, with around 10,800 MaH and a very handy way to show the balance of power remaining in the device (via four flashing LEDs, shown in the picture below). And it's quite lightweight, which means the unit can be carried in a handbag or us men's sling bags. rclxms.gif

Although unlike the Belkin power bank I used previously (far lower MaH, by the way), the Xiaomi one has only got one USB slot, unfortunately! sad.gif
