Only has Google Docs. The word and ppt equivalent are alright. Spreadsheets is improving but still a bit clunky. Depends on what you need to do. You can save all files in the office version if sending on.
I pretty much send all day looking at spreadsheets, so excel is the most important thing for me. (Iām differently the PC from the āIām a Mac and Iām a PCā ads. Simple things like showing you sum or average of cells you have highlighted is great.
My iphone is fucked since I āupgradedā to iOs 7.0.3
Anytime I connect a cable to it I get told the accessory is not supported, so I canāt charge it properly.
Annoying as fuck. If I restore it from an old backup do I lose my text messages? Iām assuming so.

From what I have heard there is no way back from the upgrade. Youāre stuck.
@Rocko, you mentioned an app update. May be overdue because I find itās getting slow. But please do NOT let it be only compatible with iOS7.

Still on iOS 5. My refusal to upgrade is serving me well

Well I could try to restore it from an old backup? The phone basically useless to me at the moment. These are genuine apple cables Iām using too :mad:

+1. I havenāt met anybody yet who is happy with the switch. Luckily, I am a renegade and plough my own furrow unlike sheep like @The Runt who has to be seen with the bright new shiny toy.
[quote=āTreatyStones, post: 865467, member: 1786ā]I recently ditched my iphone in favour of the Galaxy S4.
I donāt regret the decision one bit, a great phone.[/quote]
:rolleyes:
Alright pal, we donāt want your life story
Have an iPhone 5 that I purchased in October 2012. About last August / September started getting problems with the on/off button and the battery. On/off button would only work sporadically and was seriously head wrecking. Battery also went to shite around the same time and would sometimes die around 30% without any warning. Phone was still under warranty but I wasnāt arsed bringing it in and having some techie fuck look into my browsing history. I suffered on until last week when my phone died on the way back from the Arsenal match (despite having one of those cases with an additional battery in it) and I lost contact with my travel companion whoād ended up in Brighton.
To cut a long story short I bought a new battery and power button circuit on Amazon for about Ā£10. Spent four hours taking apart my phone last Saturday following a guide on iFixit. Process was a nightmare and I almost cried several times as I thought Iād never get the phone back together. The guide is 40 steps to taking everything apart and it just says do them in reverse to put it all back together. But I fucking did it and the result was an astounding success. Battery lasting twice as long, no longer needs a charge during the day and my power button actually works. Itās fucking superb.
Lesson for others - batteries are a piece of piss to replace and can be done in about 20 mins. A new one costs about Ā£6. Only do the power button if you have small hands that arenāt shakey though.

Apple batteries are well known to have a poor lifespan, they make it difficult to replace one but it can be done as you proved.
One of my young fellas does phone & ipod repairs as a sideline for pocket money. 4 hours is long but it would easily taker an hour+ for someone experienced with those pieces of shite. You need a jewellers magnifying glass (or similar) plus a couple of miniature tools.
