My iphone 5 was sounding funny yesterday when calling my wife on her 5. I'm on Rogers, so maybe they were having some network issues. Our phones have always been clear and yesterday was the first time I noticed anything.

Posted via RS Mobile | Is there a function where I can record a phone conversation? Maybe I can record a clip and show it to the Apple techs.

'iPhone 5 fever' sweeps Hong Kong as mainland China awaits Apple's launch
By Neil Hughes
Stores in Hong Kong remain sold out of Apple's iPhone 5 as overwhelming demand continues. That's expected to spread soon to mainland China, as carrier China Unicom is said to be gearing up for the iPhone 5 launch.
The details come from analyst Brian White with Topeka Capital Markets, who is currently touring the region. He said all of the stores he has visited in Hong Kong were sold out of the iPhone 5, and described the city as having "iPhone 5 fever."
"At Apple's retail store, the iPhone 5 can be ordered online and a lottery process determines who is eligible for pickup at the store the next day," he wrote. "Based on our conversations, you might have a better shot at winning the lottery than getting the iPhone 5 the next day."
Meanwhile, China Unicom is said to have sold out completely of the iPhone 4S at some of its stores. That's because the carrier is looking to "avoid an inventory situation ahead of the iPhone 5 launch" in December, White said.
The iPhone has room to grow in China, as Apple's handset currently represents about 15 percent of the nation's smartphone market. The company is also addressing only about a third of the nation's subscriber base, China Unicom and China Telecom. A deal with China Mobile, which is the world's largest carrier with 688 million subscribers, has been rumored for years but never come to fruition.
The iPhone 5 launched in Hong Kong and 21 other countries the last Friday in September. A week before that, it debuted in the U.S. and 8 other countries. By December, the iPhone 5 will be available in a total of 100 countries with 240 carriers.
| These guys....seriously. Same hype with iPhone 4 when it first came out, now everyone in HK will be upgrading from a iPhone 4 to 5 just because of the hype.  | |

My battery was dropping fast cause my standby time and usage time was almost identical even though I never touched the phone for most of the day. I go to sleep with 90% and when I wake up it's 35%. The battery would fully drain in about 11-12 hours. When I first got the phone I restored it right out of the box with itunes as a new phone too. So I drained the battery and charged it to 100% but left it plugged in for another 5 hours after it reached 100%. I did this 4 times and now I'm getting this which is a lot better than before.

[IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/adm7bm.png[/IM] | what is this, "usage"?
I really dont see my phone getting more than 4-5 hours of my usage: gaming with music on, rs chat, or maps

Usage = Time phone backlight is turned on
Standby = backlight is turned off.

It's like laughing at a nice sport cars and saying "it's so expensive but not even as big as a van!"
Also apple has proven the benefits of in-house control over hardware and software. They don't have the best hardware specs yet the phone runs faster and smoother than the s3 Posted via RS Mobile | |

4" is the limit, even this phone is feeling a bit large in my hand and i have fairly big hands
i notice because i have to stretch my thumb when holding it in one hand to reach the upper portion of the screen
any bigger wouldnt work.

I am using a 4" Meizu Quad. My fat fingers make it hard to click on a browser, that's why I prefer a bigger screen.

Samsungs making a 4" version of the S3 for Europe, doubt it'll make it's way over here though...but yeah I think 4 inches for a phone is plenty, would have been nice if apple slimmed the bezel down though so the phone wasn't so long.

4" is not bad. It is definitely seems like more of a sweet spot than 3.5" was. It's definitely the best iPhone to date.
