NJ2 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I’ve got an iPad Air that’s probably about 7 years old, battery is just beginning to go now. I’ll be getting a replacement battery before I’d even consider getting a new one! Same for my phone, I think mine is an iPhone 7 on a £14 a month Sim only deal. The battery is getting shite on that as well, so I’ll just get a new battery instead of spending fortunes on a phone. iPhone 7, about £14 p/m...represent brother! Deal is up soon though and DA has enlightened me to path to guaranteed success so will be upgrading when it’s run out / I can be arsed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Wing Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 That's the spirit! One of us... I use shit out too. Once had a phone that had a cracked screen, was missing two buttons and had been melted in an oven in a couple of places. Had my previous phone for about 3 or so years and old got a newer one as it was free as part of my (pretty cheap) contract. Had my old TV for 5 years until my parents got a new one and gave me their old one Had my iPod since 2012 and hope to never have to replace it.Why did you put your phone in the oven? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything beyond about 22 months for an iPad/iPhone and you’re on borrowed time. I'm going to track down and murder the next person to ignore the point of my initial rant, I swear to Christ. Either that, or you're all going to make me cry in front of my son. I DO NOT GIVE A f**k ABOUT THE IPAD. I WIPE MY ARSE WITH THE IPAD. AT THIS RATE, I WILL DESTROY THE IPAD AND POST PICTURES. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve noticed that it turns itself on when you plug it in to charge, which I didn’t know about until leaving it charging all night, only to find it was at 20% capacity. What’s worse is that is, if the battery is flat, it waits until it’s holding a minimum charge, THEN turns itself back on, so you have to hang about for the fucking thing to decide it’s ready for you to turn it off. Figured this behaviour must be something you can change, so I looked at a few forums with other people asking the same question. The answers amount to no, you cannot change this behaviour. Apple has forbidden it. Why would you want to change this when Apple have decreed that it must be so? You are obviously using your device incorrectly if you do not wish it to be turned on while not in use. All typed with a calm, rational, terrifying intensity. I’ve had my suspicions before, but this is a cult, isn’t it? two solutions: 1) plug in the charging cable first, then turn the thing off normally - it'll carry on charging in spite of being 'off' 2) make sure you have a passcode set to activate the thing; when you plug it in, the log-in screen should come up - if you do not enter the code, it'll sleep when your pre-set "sleep when inactive for xx minutes" duration expires thank you for choosing Apple products - have a nice day ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old phone used to do something similar and sit around the 32% for hours upon hours and never move. One day I hung up a call and the phone went off, never to return. It would just go into one long power up cycle until it was completely dead. Recharge all night and whilst it was charging it'd come on, go off, come on, go off. Fried motherboard and they wanted more to replace than the phone was worth at that point. Enjoy it while it lasts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
