Apple Bad Apple Day

As far as I can tell they couldn't even schedule an appointment for a battery replacement on a 6+, just a vague "probably in April". Waiting. One thing that was strange, they ran a test and the battery showed to be at 80% — but it is holding charge very poorly. My wife had to charge the phone multiple times a day which sounds like the capacity down to 40-ish, not 80. Go figure.

 

Yeah. I had my problems too. With buying AppleCare on a X purchased from ATT. Long wait times and I received wrong information on what to do.
Not terribly upsetting, but it does seem they changed procedures and not all the help staff was informed.

Hmm, was that battery replacement order an email? I didn't receive one as far as I can tell unless it was sent to my wife's phone.

 

Another iPhone question. Is it possible to stop the phone turning Wi-Fi off whenever it goes to sleep? It's so annoying having to wait for it to reconnect when it doesn't happen instantly.

It doesn’t go off when the phone is locked off. That how backups, emails and other data are sent while in sleep or lock mode.

What makes you think it does? Mine is instant on. No delay.

I unlock the phone and the Wi-Fi indicator is not there. It takes anywhere from 1 to 30 seconds to show up.

The problem is in your home router somewhere.

I did a quick google. Try setting your router to a specific channel instead of ‘Auto’.

That is how my router is set. A specific channel for 5 and another for 2.4 GHz.

At least that was the Apple recommended solution.

Of course it's the 6+, so it's not worth the trouble. My wife is not complaining about the 8+ and I can handle being annoyed twice a day Mon-Fri

Well, i checked my Time Capsule, and it is set for Auto Channel. So I don’t know the answer. I read that Android has a setting to never let wifi sleep. But Apple’s is always on, and obviously, sitting in Receive mode is not very powerfully consuming of battery power. If requested to go to Transmit mode, that would be power consuming.

So everything I read, and my own experience, is it’s always on. However in a public place, like a food store, it does seem a bit slower to connect...i think that has to do with signing into the network.

Anyhow, I’d still try the Router settings.

Of course not, I'd be annoyed a lot more than twice a day However some work Android phones used to do that, although the reconnect would typically be much faster.

@viewfly I use the iPhone almost exclusively at home. The only other factor that I can think of is that it is typically about 22 hours between the last of use of the day and the first use of the next day.

 

Seems like you got your iPhone/Wi-Fi system into an atypical configuration. Probably resetting things will restore it to a working order.
