I don’t know whether the X battery is any different from other iPhones. I always charge my iPhones/iPads and X in airplane mode. I’m still using my iPad 2. The only thing I make sure is that the battery never go below 10% before charging.

Something is not right then. I unplug the charger at 10pm at 100% and it’s still 100% when I wake up at 6pm - DND mode on, over 100 WhatsApp messages in the background.

I’m getting something similar, charge the phone in airplane mode unplugged and leave it overnight still 100%. But when phone battery is not 100% and leave it overnight in airplane mode it drops 3%. One thing that drains the battery fast if I leave the WhatsApp notifications on for group chats. I have one chat group over 140 members if 10 -15 starts chatting the notifications in the background really drains the battery 20-30% easily within 3-4 hours. I turned off the group chat notifications and the battery is back to normal. Groups chat are usually not important so no need for notifications. Just for info.

I always charge my iPhone in airplane mode. This is to prevent heat damages to the battery. It’s much faster to get a full charge hence less heat.

Try switching off your phone every now and then.

Why have to do this?
*
To reset your phone. We generally have it on 24/7 and the ram can run out of memory. One telltale sign is for no reason one of your apps just stop working. My older folks always have this problem.

Hi all user of X,

Is the iPhone X still having issue on GPS? Currently on fence before deciding to own one.. if there issue on GPS, it would be problem since i'm kind of heavy user of navigation apps.

I've read that the 8/8+ also have the GPS issue..

Do share your experience on GPS.

Generally I have no issue. I’m using Digi, so far, experience one time the place I was going to have poor 4G network coverage, got lost there.

Which was why one of the apps I bought a long time ago before Waze existed was the Garmin for iPhone app. Don’t need data.

Don’t know if it’s still available these days but they’ve not update it for ages biggrin.gif

Still available but too expensive for my liking, I missed the 50% discount offer (USD25+) a few years back. My brother was able to get it only available for 24hrs.

Hello, My iPhone X True Tone is more yellowish than others iPhone X from those display stores, is that normal

iPhone has a colour tint setting. Just in case, it was change. Go to:

General>Assessibilty>Display Accomodations>Invert Colours/ColourFilters/Reduce White Point
Check to see if any of the settings have been changed.
This is where you set your Auto Brightness

Does anyone have overheating issue on their ipx? My phone sometimes will get throttled when playing certain games and it will automatically dimmed the display.
It also happened when I'm using the phone outdoor about afternoon or when the weather is hot.

Mine gets hot when I'm using GPS. I put it on top of my car dashboard aircon vent to keep it cool.

Does charging with 3rd party cable affect the battery? My friend bought a cable from Ninja(?) and it charges faster than my original cable. Less than 15 bucks!

I'm not familiar with Ninja but my brother's iPhone battery bloated after using a cable from China. Use at your own risk.
