jaybird x2 will be better than beatx/airpods?

actually i feel like getting beatx/airpods is deal to the w1 chip, which allow me to easy connect to all my idevice. but i can b sure that the sound quality sure gg.

Yes. Postage to them is around $5. They will pay the postage from US to Singapore. Previously the exchange was more hassle free. Just cut your earphones into 2 and show them the pic. But i guess people are exploiting this, so they need to collect the physical earphones.

Wow! U mail them urself? At your own cost? To a singapore base address or u.s.

Is there a way to turn off rotation just for the home screen?

I know I can lock the screen rotation but it is locked throughout all the iOS. Is it possible to lock the rotation for just the home screen?

Seems like Bragi dash is quite a hit! For those who love wireless!

Set the display to zoom and the home screen will not rotate.

The latest iOS 10.1 beta 5 is released with a size of 1.5GB. Looks like the official 10.1 is going to be released very soon now. The portrait mode is really good. Love using it to take photos.

1.95GB on 7+. Did they improve portrait mode? Haven't tested. Only visible difference is the modem firmware in qualcomm modem, and build letter b->c.

I hope they bothered including bug fixes that most people faced since the day iOS 10 was made public.

Been using the Jaybird x2 for a while now, upgraded from the 1st gen. It's a nice pair or earphones. Good sound too. Use it for commute and for jogging, been reliable so far. Especially with the recent promotions on Amazon, a pretty good buy.

jaybirds really good stuff. my gen1 still going strong. e x2 going for 80 bucks on amazon now super good deal...

I just tried. But the everything became so large. Haha. So I turned it off

After installing and running iOS 10.1 beta 5 (and even beta 4), battery life on the 7+ seems to be much better. The battery life is how I used to remember it on 6S+. Stays at 100% in standby even after few hours.

I hope this will be the case for the regular 7 too. Mine just dropped 2% in one hour when my phone was untouched.

Anyone know how to fix the camera software issue? When u launch the camera app it is not working properly until u switch to video amd switch back

Turn off location services for weather widget, turn off background app refresh for unwanted apps. Turn off raise to wake if you don't use it(I use this). I also have turned off Hey Siri. My 7+ doesn't even drop 1% in 4-5hours. Sometimes 1-2% overnight

Your suggestions are fine, however one shouldn't have to do all those just to expect the advertised battery life. That's just crippling the phone for no reason.

It should be 1-2% drop max by default if you leave it standby overnight.. Should be some iOS 10 issue (or even issues with the app you are using) as it was fine on the older iOS on older phones. Hope they have fully resolved it.

I have disabled all that except the weather widget because I need those. Background activity only for two low-powering apps. Are you running on a Beta iOS?

What are the chances of me having a bad battery? How can I check it at my end?

I'm on 10.0.2. It is more likely a software issue than a hardware issue. Maybe the newer 10.1 would improve battery life for you as many beta users are claiming better battery life. If it is really bothering you, maybe try a clean install without backup??

Yea those were just suggestions that one could take to improve battery life. Also, I was just trying to help metamofia with the 1-2% per hour situation, not overnight. Hoping Apple fix all the major bugs on ios10 and improve battery life. Original ios10 seemed too premature to even be considered a stable release but I guess they had to release it for the iPhone 7

Coconut Battery on desktop. Connect your phone to the desktop with Coconut Battery. It can read the battery max capacity vs the designed capacity.

It's not likely to be a bad battery, more likely to be the OS or a buggy app running.

I tried airplane mode, no wifi, no bluetooth after restarting phone and after 36 hours the battery was 99%. (iOS 10.1 Beta 3 when I tried.)
