Glad I'm not the only one. I finally stopped using the Gmail app the other day, although I hadn't thought about shutting down the app. Fortunately I figured out a way for the stock iOS mail app to do what I wanted it to do, so I'm in good shape.

I did a full battery run-down yesterday. Here are the results. I was pretty happy with it. Obviously I was using it a LOT yesterday! A good chunk of this time was using wi-fi, but I have everything (GPS, bluetooth, wifi) turned on and when I wasn't connected to wi-fi I was on LTE. I'm going...

Users of the iOS Gmail App: Do you have any issues with being notified about the same email over and over again, even though you've read it or even deleted it? This seems to happen to me EVERY DAY. My phone picks out one email to tell me about many times. It can't be good for battery life...

I haven't done any full blown tests (not charging it all day to see how long it goes) but I'm going to try that today now that I figured out how to turn on my battery percentage. This is my first iPhone so I didn't know about that setting. Overall, I'm quite happy with battery life. I'm...

Mine's on the truck and in the area, but the original delivery time said by 3pm. I may be waiting a while. I'm trying to restrain myself from going to look for the delivery guy :)

Nope. No live wallpapers on iOS.

Mine has the same thing as well. I'm confident that my phone will be here, but this does look very confusing. It's like a three-day layover at the airport!

Thanks, but I'll let someone else be the guinea pig on that one.

The nearest Apple store isn't all that close to me and I hate going to that part of town. Does anyone know when the 30 pin adapters will start showing up in carrier stores or even Best Buy/TargetWalmart? I checked my official Verizon store (it's a pretty big one) and they didn't have any...

Woohoo! Got my tracking number early this morning! Friday delivery!! Yes, like many of you, I will be sitting on my front porch ready to tackle the FedEx man/woman. I hope it's a woman ... the tackling will be more fun that way :)

What did you do to finally get it to work? I've used my home number and all three numbers in our family plan, but it isn't accepting any of them.

Thanks. I ordered at 6:30am EST on Friday but I didn't respond to the confirmation email until 7:45am. I don't know which time is more important. Either way, the "ship date" on the VZW website has always concerned me. The guy who took my order on the phone and the confirmation email both...

I'm starting to lose hope for a Friday delivery of my phone. I ordered through Verizon and I'm one of the folks who got the email from VZW that said 9/21 delivery, but when I check order status on the website, it says expected ship date is 9/21. I guess other folks who ordered from Verizon...

It sounds like either the article is flat wrong, or at minimum poorly worded. Regardless, I got the answer I needed -- I can indeed turn off LTE. I'm not sure 4G coverage is all that great in this area anyhow. Thanks for the help.

Here's the third paragraph of the article I linked, which makes your point but also mine: "This is not a huge surprise. LTE will make it just that much each easier for iOS users to do all the things they love on their phones. What?s more, 4G data connections simply require more data to deliver...
