Going back to the iphone 5S

[Art H]

Well everyone, talk about an ordeal. I've been having a heck of a time restoring to a previous backup. I tried restoring from an iCloud backup but it was not working right (apps would freeze up, not download, etc). I tried restoring from an iTunes backup (again apps would quit downloading after every 5 or 6, other issues, etc).

Finally, I just said heck with it and restored as a new device. I then downloaded all of my apps, started from scratch, and loaded all of my pics and videos in. Logged into iCloud and was able to get most things updated (contacts, notes, etc) but lost other things like settings tweeks, keyboard shortcuts, etc.

So far, I am not having any issues with my phone. It very well could have been purely software related on this third time around. I never felt like I was getting a solid setup before so perhaps starting fresh was the fix. And hey, its not a total loss having to set up everything again. It is kind of fun to be honest. Like a brand new experience. Only ONE awful thing left out of all of this......

It has me thinking just a tinnnnnnnnnny bit about the 6+ again lol

Maybe you're holding the phone wrong?
