Time sure flies when you're using this phone; bought it when first launch for Malaysia (November 6th i think, but confirm first week of November) and it still feels new to me. Definitely a worthy upgrade from my 3 year old 4S. Hopefully should be able to last til 7S (hopefully by then more storage and RAM haha)

Microsoft has a translator app as well but not sure if it's offline though..

Guys, a few users here (and non-users) are facing problems downloading/updating apps in the App Store via Unifi. Can you guys try it out and see if you guys can download an app? You guys can start off by trying to download a small app/game (2mb-10mb) and see if it downloads. If it does, try downloading a larger app/game (500mb-1gb). Please report your finding in this thread. Please provide as much information as possible. The very least you guys can do is provide your findings as such;

Small app: Successful (fast, average speed, really slow) / Fail (Stuck at waiting, keeps circling, etc)

Big app: Successful (fast, average speed, really slow) / Fail (Stuck at waiting, keeps circling, etc)

ISP : Streamyx, Maxis Fibre, Unifi, etc

If Unifi is the culprit (the slow one), please report via their Twitter account at @TMConnects. We have to report simultaneously. They will actually read our Twitter posts so just decribe to them the problem. Thanks

i'm still having problems. mind reporting in the thread i posted? so we can identify who else are experiencing it and in which area

what ISP are you using and what location?

yeah can still downgrade. just download the iOS 8.4.1 firmware, go to iTunes, hold 'Shift' (Windows) and click on 'Restore'. then choose the firmware you downloaded. can only choose the last previous firmware which is iOS 8.4.1, cannot choose previous versions. and have to act quick; once the signing window close on Apple's side, then you cannot downgrade anymore. and i don't think they update out of the box yet, my bet is they're still on iOS 8.4 or 8.4.1

for the 6, so far it still feels new and great. can't say the same for my 3 year old 4S though haha. coming in the third year the power button got stuck and random scuffs appear around the body (can blame the casing for that though, now more careful with the casing i use). if i'm getting the 7 or 7S, i may just go to Taiwan for the wrapping service that i've always wanted to try. combo that with IMOS glass SP, home button ring and voila.

for me iOS 8.2 is the most stable. iOS 8.3 and iOS 8.4 is okay as well but i've never run into any issues with iOS 8.2. compared to iOS 9 onwards, aiyo so buggy. can't even get the animations right. iOS 9.1 is slightly better than the previous iOS 9s, but still needs a lot of work into it.

that's why i consider wrapping. already traumatized with random scuffs appearing all over, hence the interest in wrapping the phone. for now can only settle with Bestskinsever, which is good enough but still can't beat the Taiwan one.

from what i gathered from the forumers here, there used to be one in Sg Wang, but it's closed already. other than that there's no shop that has been personally tested by any forumer here..

The reason why i still prefer wrapping my phone is because during my Nokia N95 and iPhone 4S days, i faced an unfortunate situation where despite putting on a case and almost never removing them (i'll remove it only when i'm cleaning my phone up, carefully of course), my phone still got scuffed due to certain particles (i don't what to call those small dust things) managing to enter through whatever gap and hole in the case. It was frustrating because those cases were supposed to protect my phone, not scuff it from the inside.

So my idea of wrapping is wrapping my phone and then putting a case over it (my usual wallet case). That way it will provide double the protection, from the inside and out. It's like putting on 2 hazmat suits haha. I know i sound over the top and overprotective, i just want to avoid facing the same disappointment hence the extra precaution. Lucky for me the cases that i have been using fits the added thickness of the skin, so hopefully the newer ones won't have any problems as well (planning to stick to the same case brand until i change to something else)

planning on using long term bro, i would use my phones for 2-3 years before changing as the changes in features and technology should be significant enough with that kind of gap. and i will try to keep it in the best shape possible for the next owner to enjoy. so yeah must take good care of it until 7 or 7S (most likely 7S) comes along

not sure actually as i got this info based on the accessory thread. so the wrapping shop is still there? when was the last time you went and how is the quality of the wrapping? are you using a 6/6+/6S/6S+? if you are, how did they cover the corners?

yeah it also helps with the sales

hmm seems alright, though the one in Taiwan (Mos Coat) looks much nicer.. may try it out in the future. yeah planning on using a case on it so i don't mind if it peels on expected parts. how much did it cost?

Though useful, i still find myself not using it and still trying to reach the far left with one hand. If you have a thick edged case like me or a 6+, it's still a bit difficult to reach the top left even with Reachability activated

the famous one is Power Support Air Jacket if i'm not mistaken, but that's much more expensive haha

I've somehow activated the bug (which another forumer did before) where the phone disables its transition animations. So whenever i multitask and launch/switch/exit apps there's no more fancy animation and effects. As a result, my phone is not facing any stuttering despite all the things i was throwing at it haha. Before this if i slide all the way to the left or pull down Spotlight it would already show signs of stuttering. Now it's just straight forward action, feels considerably faster. But i kinda miss the fancy effects though.. To leave it as it or not..

It's different than reduced motion; reduced motion still has that transition animation where the app will fade out and has a soft effect. This has zero effects, and immediately jumps out, like the old Symbian S60 phones. A lot more faster and snappy compared to reduced motion. And the thing is i did not even go to any settings. I was just making an app folder and suddenly it activated.

Depends on your iOS version i guess. It went downhill for me with iOS 9.0.0-9.0.2. iOS 9.1 isn't as bad but it still isn't as smooth as iOS 8.4.1

edit; this is the bug

so far so good on iOS 9.2. after restoring it did stutter here and there but after everything was loaded in was smooth. will monitor tomorrow onwards as i plan to calibrate my battery tonight. hopefully i won't experience any animation issues, i have high hopes for this update..

Have you tried Restoring your phone? I have not encountered your situation before, even on my old iPhone 4S
