I used it on window, no issue so far. I used on my new iphone for youtube, songs no issue. Only sound + mic yea (for conversation), the sound is way too soft (cant hear), and i found out that i cant adjust the volume in my iphone. i raise the volume to min to max, no effect.
*
I see, maybe check on the "Sound & Heptics"> "Headphone Safety"?
see if you reduce loud sounds is set to too low?

Though AirPods are the best for iOS devices, I'm using AirPods Pro and no regret but I do have issue sometimes when connecting to my Windows laptop. It will fail when I need to speak in conference calls, back to wired earphones..
*
Good to know about this! I was actually considering putting the AirPods pro on my to-buy gadgets list.

Don't use my experience as benchmark though. I do see a lot of my colleagues are using them during conference calls and I don't hear issue from them.
Maybe it is just my laptop or my own issue. laugh.gif I'm using Lenovo X1 Carbon, not sure if it is the Bluetooth issue.
*
Any chance to check your Bluetooth version?

No idea how to check but I may install new drivers later if there is any updated version.

Not to say it fails all the time, it did fail few times when I needed it the most. The worst thing is my audio settings is also affected, auto muted and cannot be turned on back until I restarted the laptop. laugh.gif
*
Oh that issue, yeah Windows does that sometimes.
Not sure what's the issue too but restart would be able to get it fixed.
I do notice sometimes disabling/enabling back the Bluetooth connection on Windows could fix it too.
Another side of thing could be, the earphone/headphone chips/software and compatibilities already.

Oh, so not really AirPods Pro issue then.

Haven't had a pair to test, yet. So that's my experience with laptops.
I wonder how does it fair for Airpods working with Macbooks? Would they be as seamless as what I read online?
I read it would be super easy to swing the calls or usage between devices as long as they are tied to the same Apple ID

Yes, it’s easy to switch devices though I don’t have a Mac/MacBooks.
Anyway, AirPods Pro gives real seamless experience with iDevices. No setup is required. I got it cheaper than retail price so I’m more than happy.
*
How did you get that below retail price? is it one of those sh0p33 or l@z@d@ moments?

So how many of you rocking the iPhone with Apple Watch as well?
Kinda tempted to get the watch since it can "complete" the user experience.

Do anyone facing this problem before ?

Some of the app will stuck on the loading screen after u kill it off and reload again, like Zoom, banking app.

U need to restart the phone then it only can back to normal.
*
Yeah I'm facing this too. It's just randomly occurring over the days.
Not any specific apps, just randomly happen to any apps.
Got to kill everything completely and open it again to make it work.
Speaking of restarting the phone... I've only done it once for update since I got the phone in early Feb this year... hmmm

Yeah, almost all my girlfriends are using iPhone and I'm impressed with their photos shared on Instagram. I was like that's it, iPhone 12 will be the one. tongue.gif Luckily WhatsApp data was migrated successfully too.
*
using Dr.Fone?
And after the migration, are all the photos and messages "Searchable" with the chat search function?
I notice mine is a little cacat, only new messages after the migration can be searched.

Yes. Dr. Fone.
Can search messages, no issue on that but photos may be mixed around. laugh.gif
*
I see, then my migration could be partially broken then...
sigh...


*UPDATE!!!*
So I actually just do an iCloud backup for the first time (using trial) and then do a restore on the Whatsapp messages.
Finally! I can do searches for old messages again. Problem solved!

How can you live without iCloud backup? shocking.gif
Anyway, it is pretty affordable for the 50GB, for a start. laugh.gif

Still surviving with the trial hahaha.
Will see how it goes. Rarely keep anything in ICloud

Correct, same here. It will only display at night, iPhone learns my charging pattern. thumbup.gif

One of the things which I like about iPhone is it continuously learns my usage habit. rclxms.gif
*
I tend to charge during day time when I'm working on my desk. Just plug in until it has enough juice to go for the day.
Very rarely charge the phone overnight now already lol.
And the sleep reminder is cute... every time it makes the lullaby sound, I'll pretend to fall asleep and snore in front of the kids and they would ROFL. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Hi, just wanna ask is it better to wait for 13pro/promax since there is like roughly 6months left and considering my current phone can tahan. Abit tempted to try to get 12pro max during lazada sales but want some opinions from here thx smile.gif
*
Honestly, I would stretch the current phone until like really cannot tahan then I would make the leap.
Be it performance, or a different OS. The ecosystem and security concerns are the "why" I took the leap (BACK into apple from android).

Do you guys happen to use the Mail app with your GMail account(s)?

If you don’t, what app do you use for email? I uninstalled Mail and used GMail from day one but I find it rather boring since I used the same when I was on Android. So, now I’m looking to hear of alternatives from the members here.
*
I use Mail for personal mails, Outlook for work email.
Trying to separate work and leisure.
I’ve also tried Bluemail on android before this and liking it too. Give it a try will ya

Good deal on lazada birthday sale. Wondering whether I should get the 128GB or 256GB. The 128GB gets a RM400 discount while the 256GB gets a RM500 discount. Wonder which one will be easier to resale later. I already have a NAS at home so don't need too much storage
*
I guess you already have the answer. Which is 128GB?
Personally I would go for 256gb(which I current own) for future proofing purposes. Who knows if I travel and decide to take more photo and video, that would really come in handy with the extra storage.

Anyone has got experience with those OEM AirPods Pro before? Seen a lot of it on Shopee and Lazada recently and it’s less than half the price of the original ones. Just wondering if it’s worth the hassle and price?

Nope. Totally not worth. Get the discounted ones from Lazada. I got mine at RM 749 only and it’s original warrantied by Apple Malaysia.

That really got to wait for the luck to come by hahaha
So far lowest I’ve seen is around 8xx

Yeah totally LONG overdue!
I mean I got to use paid 3rd party software and it's buggy summore...
so I rather have like a natively supported function to do that to make sure I don't need to re-do the steps over and over again just to get my messages across platforms!
