most ppl say it will chip, but i take my case off almost every day and my phone is still in perfect condition *touch wood, no chip whatsoever, hope it stays that way.
But still, i suggest u get a slim case, for minimum protection.

Thanks for the suggestion. May I know how much does it cost to have it coated ??

No issue on that, the two members asking for lower version is for jailbreak and iOS above 10.1.1 cannot jailbreak yet.

Alright, thanks smile.gif

BTW guys, is it safe to use iPad charger to charge ip7+ ?? Using the 5V 1A charger is really ........slow. dry.gif

Yes safe

Put it to airplane mode when charging, use iPad charger or xiaomi power bank to charge plus turn on low power mode, kaboom! Full charge in 1 and a half hours! rclxms.gif
*
Thanks for the tip! thumbsup.gif I never know that if put the phone in low power mode can actually contribute to faster charging.

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jan 8 2017, 10:49 PM)
Shall be save, I always do that, my sister also always do that, no issue.

But we never play the phone during charging. This is for safety reason.
*
Thanks for the answer. i always used wifi hotspot when charging doh.gif Guess that i would have to stop doing that.

Guys, download the app "Battery" by Hien Mai at APp store. ANd lets see whats your battery health. My iphone is at day 3 and current battery health is 100% smile.gif

I've been using the iPad charger for 3 charges. Lets post yours and state that whether are you using the original charger, ipad charger or any other charger? And also how old is your iphone 7/7+ smile.gif

Do you guys use "Raise to Wake" ?? and what about "Hey Siri" ? I turned on raise to wake but disabled Hey siri.

I personally really like the Raise to wake function as it allows me to quickly glance through my notification, time and date smile.gif

Guys, i am wondering do you guys charge your phone when it gets lower than 20% ? or whats your charging pattern??

I remembered i read somewhere it says that to preserve the battery health, it is good to charge it often (For eg 50% -> 100%) instead of draining it down to 20% always. What do you guys think??

And also what is the temperature of your battery? Mine is always around 34 degree Celcious.

Watched a video few days ago testing the so called "Sapphire Glass" of the IP7 camera on YT...and the verdict is that it is Sapphire just a very bad quality with lots of impurities therefore not scratch proof
*
Yes I watched that video as well. But I guess in day to day use and with minimum precaustion, the glass should be able to sustain the scratch and won't cause any scratch.

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jan 11 2017, 12:52 AM)
Absolutely won't, this will affect the photo output quality.
*
Thanks for your view bro. I do agree with you.

QUOTE(PeeEl @ Jan 11 2017, 08:30 AM)
Well, not knocking whoever posted earlier negatively on this, let me give my 5 Sen worth through experience, no less. I'll start by saying this first, there are people who like to apply Matte SP on their phones though that will somewhat deteriorate the image but to each his own.

As for protector for Camera Lens, it has come a long way from the days of just normal plastic material which does not actually affect too much the photos taken unless and until it gets scratched. I have used those and now am using a TG one for my iP7 Plus. Have in fact tested before and after applying it and I can tell you the picture quality is not affected at all or at worst, very minimally, if you are out to find fault. But like the Matte SP application preference, to me and many others, I am sure, protection is the priority. And since, again I am talking through experience, it is not significantly adverse, why not?
*
Thanks for your view. I appreciate your sharing with us. I've decided not to use protector for the lens in fear of a drop in photo quality.

guys, feel that my iphone 7 last only half a day upon regular usage. What i notice under battery setting is that, there are whatsapp, facebook and so on running on background refresh. My question is, if i off those refresh functionality, would i still be able to receive notifications? Will that save some battery?

Meanwhile it seems home & lock screen also eating a part of the battery. Any ways to reduce it? Maybe i should off the raise to wake function? tongue.gif

Sifu-sifu sekalian mind guide?
*
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

QUOTE(vez @ Jan 11 2017, 09:49 PM)
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
*
Alright bro, i will keep monitor.

BTW, do you guys switch off all the apps in the switcher(or how do you call that by pressing home button twice) ? Is it good to delete all apps every night or i should just leave it as it is?? Sorry for the question as my previous phone Samsung Galaxy S5 requires me to close all apps to save battery doh.gif
