I notice it sometimes sends regular texts to someone with an iPhone too. It's odd and I can only believe they have bugs to work out still.

I wish they would expand the product to work with some of the common IM protocols too. No reason it shouldn't have those functions too.

And then you resend and the recipient sometimes gets two, but that doesn't happen every time so you always resend a "failed" message.


"Really high quality" products my ass.

I was bitching about this the other day to someone I know. Seems every time I send him a non-imessage text, the fucking thing NEVER goes through. Happens to a few other people as well, but oddly, not all of the people without iPhones.

Just started this past week.

Battery issue started last night. Went to bed with it being around 70% and it was dead when I woke up.

Charged it a little this morning. It's gone from 65 down to 30 in 45 minutes

My battery has been decent and in line with my expectations, but I do think some handsets may have a bug related to it. My mother says her phone is down to 40% every day by about 2pm even if she hardly uses it. I believe the 4S had a set of bugs when it launched that did similar and they patched it up over time.

Interesting that we're talking about batteries. my 4s has performed admirably so far (power user, calling A LOT during the day) but in the last week it craps out at 10% . Anybody know how to fix that?

But would the bug just appear now? I'm using 6.0.2 since it came out. Had the phone since release day.

Went from 100 to 80 just sending a few texts in the last hour. It's fucked up.

I'd test it a few more days to make sure it's not just a fluke. If you keep having problems then maybe your battery is going bad. It can happen.

Yep. Both. Plus a cycle on the battery.
