I am surprised no one has gleefully rushed in here to report on the Do not disturb bug? 
I don't know what's going on with Apples software testing but they always get caught out with these data based bugs, my do not disturb feature just went wonky on new years day |

Well i for one am very critical of how Apple operates as a company and some of the flaws in their products, but a simple software bug which is fixed with a firmware update isnt much to whinge about unless it affects you in a really bad way.

I sadly see them every day of the week here in the UK.
Mind you, im glad people have them rather than dull feature phones. Thats one area i thank Apple for probably being responsible for killing off dull phones.

Yes, phones like S40 Nokias, or those £10 Samsung phones you see in Asda. They're good for some people serving a purpose. But for many people they buy them and quickly realise how dull they are.

Those dull ones can be beneficial to the eldary
As they do suffer various problems in there later life.
I don't think we should look at them as dull tho as
they can have many advantages still its actually good
Phone stores also stock them to this point too

To you or i they are dull though. Years ago they were the top of the food chain. But now, they're bargain garbage we buy for the elderly or those strange people in their 20's and 30's who only want a phone for making calls and texts - and arent on Facebook or Twitter etc..

They still have their draws, but by today's standards a phone like SE's T610 which were iconic in their day would now be seen as limited and dull. The whole market now revolves around smartphones sadly.

Finally got my hand on a replaced iphone 5 .
It seems that wifi signal is weaker than on my galaxy s2. (the first iphone 5 was so much worse, couldn't see the router only if I stayed near it)
A annoying issue that I had was that everytime the wifi signal was lost I had to retype the password (kudos to c/p). I've found a solution on apple forums (I think, can't remember 100% ) for this: instead of picking the network chose other and complete the router name, security options and password. I'm on ~2.4Ghz router with WPA2 security.
And yet another annoying feature: it asks me every session for the AppleID when I want to download from AppStore. Any tips?
Thanks

WRT Having to type PW in App Store, it makes you do that for every 1st app you download when you visit App Store, its so annoying, thats what ive experienced with my iPad.
On my GS3 with Google Play Store i can set if i want it to ask for PW or not, but on iOS only Apple know whats best for me, apparently.
