Yes, if you are talking to me, I do have facebook installed. I'll ck location svcs.
My 6 is getting worse with this and only does it when my use my device a lot and starts to get warm. My screen gets dim for about 3 minutes then goes back to full brightness. This happens only when the phone is "stressed" and auto brightness is off in the system settings. My dads 6 does not do this.
Have an appointment with the Genius Bar tomorrow. Anyone else experiencing the brightness change issue?
I noticed this "problem", it seems that when it is on speaker mode...the phone uses the mic near the camera instead. So if the protective film is till on, your voice would not reach the other caller.
To test it while having the film on, gently tap on the mic near the camera while on speaker, the other caller should hear the tap. Else just remove the plastic film and speak normally.

remove the plastic film if it is still there, the phone uses the mic near the camera when on speaker. Hope this helps
I came from a 5 as well and I couldn't agree more. Now that I have a 6 Plus I don't have to be jealous of the big galaxy note screens my friends have
I don't know what rock you live under....
money on hold has been around for ..... ever.... I have done this many times with many companies. it is just awesome , give credit card # , they place a hold on funds, I receive new unit, I send old one back, They release funds. simple and easy..
Now if you don't have good credit or something for enough well that is not the companies fault !!!
I don't know of any company out there today that will just mail you a new device hopping you are a fair person and send in the old one, do you know how many people would do that if that happened!!!!! Wake up!!!
This is the chance you get for getting one of the first ones, you should have waited a month for stock to build up, especially if money is that tight!!!
Oh last thing..... it is your purchasing store that should replace a defective device 1st, buy from best buy they exchanged a phone for me with no problems in the past. If it is ATT then call customer service and be nice and explain everything.
Oh go get that sam junk I had 2 and I don't care how fast that processor is in them, the junk they load on it slows the phones down, and s voice just sucks!! get an HTC if you do that.
Just so you know, money on hold is exactly the same as money not in your account. The only difference is that the bank and the retailer have not swapped the funds. From the consumer POV it is exactly the same. I get that they have to prevent scammers from scamming, but their approach means that if anything goes wrong, the phone gets damaged in the mail or lost, I'm the one who's out and they are not obligated to pursue anything.
And I never said money was tight, and I did buy the phone straight from Apple. And it's really not saying much about a company that can fault it users for "buying the first batch." Again, where is the attitude that my broken phone is my fault coming from? This is what ticked me off in the first place, the attitude of the Apple rep was that reasonable expectation does not encompass getting a product that works, no apologies, just asking for a CC# all the time doubtful that the problem I was describing wasn't just in my head.
Honestly, if I had had a better rep who knew the process and wasn't making me guess and ask questions, things might have gone over more smoothly. My guess is that they just tripled their call staff and I got a dud.
If the phone got lost in shipping, that is why apple puts insurance on the package both ways, you can verify that with them.
Is this your first time to do this with any company? I have done it for years with many, and I always usually monitor the package with tracking numbers if I am worried about it.
I don't understand what you want apple to do at all?? They are offering a replacement, so what do you want??
What do you want apple to do??
IPhone 6 Battery Loss over 1% every 2 minutes
I am in a weak area for cell service as well.

I also had a similar problem it got so warm I would call it hot. Apparently when using encrypted backup you lose all the downloaded music and there is no way to get the music back down to the phone without creating a playlist and redownloading it. I am in a weak cell and on satellite for internet. This is just plain frustrating.
I both have heat and battery issues. Yesterday it's first full day I pulled it off it's charger at 9:30 am by 3:00 pm it was at 16%. I recharged to 97% by 5:30pm and left for an event and watched it drain over 30% in just 1 1/2 hours. It continued to drain until I but it back on my weak car charging system (BMW 2014) barely keeping up with the drain.

My wifes iPhone 6, she had with her at work for 12 hours, came home, and I played with it for at least 2 hours straight and it still had 25% battery (~14 hours).
Now her s3 would be dead on the standard battery in 12 hours, so I had to get a double capacity battery and that would be about 1/3 left by the end of the night.
So for the ones with issues, either something is running in the background, a restore is needed, or a new iPhone, you can allways call apple as I would, to get any maybe pointers they might have.
Weak cell signal kills all my phones, depending on how weak?
How long did your last phone battery last? make and model.

Anyone else noticing a horizontal looking ghost smear? I noticed it when looking at a photo that another user posted to locate dead pixels. When I press on the center of the screen it's sort of a big bubble and moves with pressure. Not sure if it's bad enough to warrant a replacement.
I see it
