Anyone have ideal why the locked beside the clock?? Reboot several time but no fix

Yeah its showing that you're looking at the phone, hence allowing you to unlock by just swiping up. But its position seems kinda off. Mine's just below the notch area lol.

Try resetting your iphone, see if it helps?

Talking about bugs/glitch, does anyone notice even with recent IOS update, apple music widget still shows on lock screen even when u close the app? This has been happening for me since i got the phone sad.gif

Belt Fanny pack.

Armband? Doubt it will be comfortable.

Tried with both sling pouch and belt fanny, still find it quite uncomfortable lugging along a 240g phone haha. It gets heavier the longer u jog, as im a long distance runner lol.

After a week or so i got the Huawei GT Runner instead to track my runs. biggrin.gif

I just wear my apple watch for jog. Even im using the pro also feels heavy d 😂

Would've gone for Apple Watch if not for their deal-breaking 1-2 day battery life sad.gif

But other than that, it works fantastic with the iphone 13 lineup.

Is pushing consumers into purchasing wearables Apple's, or any smartphone companies' goal by making it heavier now? sweat.gif

Maybe… I a bit abandoned Apple Watch also. Got too tiresome to keep charging it. Belt Fanny… I strap to the back and tie it hard. But if you run long distance.. definitely not the way to go.

I also tend to leave it behind. Can’t call me.

Apple just decided glass material looks premium with the steel band. Others are just copying. Only other way is to go for those plastic materials which are definitely lighter. Else really is a smartwatch approach.

If you're the long distance runner/fitness freak type that cares only about battery life and GPS, HR and sleep tracking, I totally suggest Huawei GT Runner. 14 days battery life and accurate GPS signal. Extremely lightweight at below 40g as well.

Seeing that ios 15.4 with Facemask ID coming out soon, can foresee more people opting out of using Applewatch bye.gif

Battery test iPhone 13 pro max still wins Samsung s22 ultrA

13PM still trumps the battery tests even after 4 months after release!

Although battery consumption COULD improve with the Snapdragon version. Since he's using the Exynos 2200 (which is known to be below SD's standards in terms of performance and battery efficiency)

If its true that the rest of the world (other than europe) is getting an inferior chip compared to S21 ultra or Xiaomi's phone, then Samsung has some explaining to do rclxms.gif

Wow, you use the classic 5W one - lagi hardcore laugh.gif

Actually, i've been doing the same too, using the 5W charger if i'm not in a hurry to charge. Of course, i've also got the 25W on the standby haha. 5W chargers reduces overheating and preserves battery health.

Indirectly increases resale value too brows.gif

I'm using SwiftKey keyboard for all my iPhones and iPads.

Used to be on both OS, mainly Android, until I decided to go full-fledge iOS. Depends on usage I guess, but I've not been feeling that I'm missing anything...

Wait for iPhone 14? Depends on you, I'd say. I personally just went for whatever's available when I decide to get it. Got my iPhone 12PM and then the iPhone 13PM, one regular and one personal use. If iPhone 14PM comes along and I think I like that, I'll just sell the iPhone 12PM off. I'm not exactly patient, I guess.  tongue.gif

Is Swiftkey alright on ios 15? Using Gboard and its buggy as hell, sometimes the keyboard doesnt pop up.

Sometimes experience typing sound lag as well sad.gif

works well for me

tho it may take ~1 second more to unlock, but still acceptable for me

Yeah i immediately noticed the slight delay too!

Dont mind at all as long as its working fine smile.gif

Heard from IOS 15.4 review that battery life also significantly improved, but not sure it applies to us at MY or not. One way to find out...

Guys, occasionally the location symbol will appear on the top, i know it appear when an app is using my location. But I confirm that no apps is using it. Is it a bug??
*
Any automation (in shortcuts app) that runs using your location as a variable? If so, it might be using your location from time to time.

Hi guys,

Do you iPhone 13 Pro Max having this issue where sometimes the phone signal will suddenly drop to no line for few seconds then only it got back the line.

Currently I'm using DiGi sim card as main line and Maxis as eSim as the secondary sim card.

I've tried to replace the DiGi Sim card and also reset the network setting, but still getting the same issue.

What do you thin guys?
*
I used to have signal drop at my work area with Celcom too, until they suggested trying eSim.

Now i can even answer phone calls in the lift of my workplace. (doesnt work in lifts like malls tho)

So far how the experience using eSim? Ok ke? Bcoz thinking of using eSim for my primary number, if anything happen to the phone such as lost or kecurian at least not easy to disable the data
*
Been using it right from when i got the phone 6 months ago, still running fine without hiccups.

If its the case of you worrying about your phone getting stolen, then its even better if you had an eSim on, so the thief cant remove your simcard. And you can continue tracking the phone via Find My Iphone. Can also opt to remote wipe data on phone using iCLoud, in case you fail retrieve it and dont want your data to be accessed.

Apart from the above, experience using eSim is generally similar to physical sim. nod.gif

Have you tried the following?

Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services and scroll down to Status Bar Icon to show or hide the icon.

To be honest, those in apple ecosystem will just change another eWallet instead of giving up apple. TNG is not replaceable in Malaysia

Agreed, especially those that fully settled into the Apple ecosystem, will rather use an alternative eWallet app instead of turning to Android or other phones.

Weird. I'm on Celcom, package 98, flashed to 16.2,  5G toggle appear and switched on but still not getting 5G
*
I think the way it works depends on wether u have a 5G tower nearby. Even a single building blocking that tower could make the connection worse. Probably just lucky to have 5G right from my work table😬
