It doesn't even have an hour's worth of battery once it comes back on either. The only thing is that - touch wood - it hasn't yet happened when I desperately need it to come back on quickly i.e just about to leave the house etc. Still a massive pain in the arse, though. Are you using a cheapy charger or docking station? Found when mine do that it works much quicker with the regular Apple plug/cable than any other charging thingy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nokia 3210 is bad for that. May be time to upgrade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be the 2nd year in a row that I haven't gone to my Christmas night out. This year mostly because the majority of my team are based in Leeds and London and I couldn't be arsed travelling down to York midweek for our team night out. Last year because I was absolutely miserable in the job I was in and didn't want to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can come along with me to mine if you like, it's a day out on the 23rd with breakfast buffet and beers at 9am in the office, then into the city for a noon lunch booking, then ching, booze and strippers until we pass out. 20 of us going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 The fact that 2016 can "do one' according to loads of people because so and so has died as well as so and so. The faux grief is bad enough but people get old & die, the year that it is has nothing to do with it I believe that since the internet we see and read more about death. Just a the major news outlets. Also the celeb era has caught up with the old wans too. It only going to get worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look into the problem online and it seems to be quite common that iPhones take a while to turn on, but I haven't seen anyone say it takes as long as an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried plugging it in more often so that the battery doesn't die? Basic life skills. My wife was having the same problem as you with her iPhone 6. It was never the same after an update and always moaned about Touch not being properly set up, battery push, taking forever to restart. She swapped it for a 6s and the battery seems to last forever now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
