Hi Guys, is there any trustable and reliable websites that I can still get iPhone 7 plus at a discount? Or any retailers that still offer iPhone 7 plus with 0% easy payment plan?

is there any difference buying from lazada and apple premium resellers such as epicentre, machines, switch, mac city etc? besides the cost saving benefit...
*
no, can claim warranty from AASP
if you buy from lazada/gemfive, make sure box is unsealed and check the warranty using the serial number outside the box before unseal biggrin.gif

my advice is be sure the seller is from lazada/gemfive themselves... any third party listed at lazada/gemfive can be refurbished set with much cheaper price sometime

anything goes wrong still can complain to lazada/gemfive, if they try to "pusing" around, make it to social media biggrin.gif but unlikely, because they want maintain their reputation

thats my 2 cents

Turn off background app refresh for app you don't need the notification for. In my case, I only leave it on for whatsapp whereas I turned it off for others like facebook.

Raise to wake is a good function and I don't think it will eat up a lot of your battery. hmm.gif

can completely turn off background app refresh, notification is separate from that....

If you exit the app (as in double click the home button and swipe it out) and with background turned off, i couldnt get any notification in whatsapp at all.

your phone have problem? sweat.gif i never have this issue... always off background app refresh completely...

notification is totally different with background app refresh...

background app refresh is useful if you have google photo, uploading your photo and switch to other app, turn on background app refresh for google photo will continue uploading while not using google photo smile.gif

izit ok to charge 7+ with ipad charger (12W 2.4A) one?
*
QUOTE(christcwl9 @ Jan 12 2017, 09:51 PM)
Should not be a problem. I am using ipad charger (10W 2.1A) one and i monitored the temperature of the battery and it is found to be same/negligible difference while it was charged by the supplied charger (5W 1A) or by the ipad charger.

For both charger, my battery temperature max at 34 degree C and lowest around 30 degree C.
*
to clear charging doubts, one must understand device draw appropriate current, so if your charger can output 5V/3A, 9V/2A..... plug your iphone 7 to it, iphone will draw around 1.5-2A@5V, i not too sure how many Amp iPhone 7 max can draw... but if your charger output max 0.5A, then iphone will draw 0.5A

have to understand it is not the charger pushing the current to the device... it is the device that draw current

but charging is all about device draw current, dont too worry about charger output Amp too high

unless you have some cheap charger that may spoil your phone biggrin.gif mostly those good charger with higher output Amp suitable for iphone

I think it is 5W , not 5V.

is 5V i mean... 5V x 1A is 5W i know... but iphone 6/6s/7 can draw more than that... around 1.5A, so @5V it will be 7.5W+

Today I make an accidentally switch the Apps Store region from Web iTunes store open at iPhone Apps Store and All my Apple Music songs immediate get delete without any warning!  mad.gif Yizz! (it get delete because once you change region they cancel your subscription. At least they shall give a warning! - I only seen warning about Apps Store not the Apple Music.) Change at iPhone directly will tell you about this but not from Web iTunes to iPhone App Store way.

This mistake do let me taste how the TV apps are compare with current Videos. The Videos app is back after phone restart.

After switch back to Malaysia region, I do get back my Apple Music list but I need to download all back again by clicking all the album one by one, OMG!  Now only download back 9.5 GB, I got total of 34GB! wonder when will finish download as I use streamyx now as my Maxis quota left not much and still got 10 days need to go...  cry.gif

i experience before, but i still using it... because i dont like Spotify biggrin.gif

Only the songs in your iPhone device get delete not the list but I prefer listen offline and I got 340 albums inside where I need to one by one click download back.

for this i have solution biggrin.gif i understand what you mean by click one by one download album back to your device

i found it somewhere, someone teach how to one click ONCE and download EVERY single song added to your library at once no need by album or by song

go to itunes create a playlist name it ALL MUSIC or anything else... create a filter for this playlist => any song more than 0:00 play time... save it.... all your songs in your library will appear in this playlist, just for you to ensure ALL song is downloaded offline, save me when i switch account last time, i just go to the playlist and click download, all song will download again icon_rolleyes.gif

note: only itunes can create filter for playlist if not mistaken

I never use iTunes transfer any songs before as it is not needed.

Either buy at iTunes or subscribing to Apple Music and direct download at phone.

certain songs is not available at Apple Music, so iTunes still can be use to transfer own song to iPhone biggrin.gif

That one only certain songs, so iTunes is not that important unless specific time only.  smile.gif

added once loh.... after all, rarely open iTunes...

but after using Apple Music cannot simply switch app store account, otherwise all downloaded offline song remove, we can use iTunes to switch account and download app and install to iPhone biggrin.gif

i did that for microsoft word flow previously, all my Apple Music song downloaded offline remained icon_rolleyes.gif

i never use any other smartphones than Android since 2009. I am tired of tinkering. I felt more productive using iOS(cuz i know i cant change stuff), although some straight forward sharing files/docs in email that used to be one-click in Android, requires few more extra steps. I felt more comfortable gaming on iOS too. hahahaha.

my only wish iOS 11, allows developers to add some way to allow background process automatically after some action. for example my gripe right now, I need to open Google Photos to make sure the backup process is running. I used to be able to snap and forget, open in my pc, there's my photos. on iOS i always forgot its not backed up yet. sometimes it uploads(not all), sometimes it didnt. need to open the app. but of course, this will need a lot of considerations on how Apple need to implement this, as dev might take advantage and then become rogue apps like in Android. it'll affect battery life for sure~

I am buying Apple Watch + Airpods soon. Calculating some budgets first. haha. probably an ipad pro too after the event~

turn on background app refresh for google photo

I did. If you read a lot of posts in iphone subreddit, most android converts asks about this and the answer will be, "thats the limitation of iOS", even though some will suggest like you said, but it really didnt work reliably, which is confirmed by most of the people who use GPhotos a lot.

what you mean by didnt work "reliably"? i am using it and working fine biggrin.gif

How long does it takes to fully charge your iphone 7 ?
Thanks for the advice.
Currently i'm using aukey braided and energea nylotough cable with aukey charger
What i'm worrying is it takes only 1 hour to charge from 20% until 80% then from 80% until 100% it takes 1 hour . That's mean 2 hours only to fully charge my phone.. is it normal ? Because when i use ori apple charger n cable it takes about 3 hours to fully charge
*
about 1h30mins from ~5%% to 100%... i use usb detector, my iPhone 7 draw around 1.5A@5V from aukey charger, quite similar with using my iPad charger... if you are using iPhone 5W charger, it should takes 2hours15mins++

there are formula calculating how long it takes to charge devices base on how big the battery mAh, but in real world, it will have energy loss during charging, some overhead or heat...
