Touch inaccuracy
by Guest treeroy- 0 replies
- 190 views
Hello, I have a Iphone 12 Mini. The screen is very frequently unresponsive to touches, or interprets touches wrongly. For example typing on the keyboard and I try tapping letter H but it thinks I'm tapping Z, etc. And it sometimes thinks I'm touching it when I'm not, so it taps buttons when I dont want it to. I normally wipe the screen hard on my clothes and then it goes back to normal for a while. This happens multiple times a day. Its really annoying. I clean my phone screen regularly...

Hello, I tried charging this iPhone XS Max but it gets stuck at 82% with optimized battery charge turned off. I tried changing the cable, didn’t work I tried charging it wirelessly, at 82% after 3 minutes the wireless charge or qi starts flashing meaning the phone doesn’t accept any electricity. I took it to change the charging flex but they say the flex is good. Is the problem the battery itself? Battery life is at 84% and from charging data, it shows that it loses electricity. 2...

Hi, I just have a quick question as I can't seem to find a straight answer here or there... I have a MacPro 3,1 that I just reconfigured. It's been very hot this past week, and my computer room is an 86F sauna. I installed iStat just to make sure I wasn't melting anything inside (as my body sure was) and I'm a bit concerned about my temps, particularly "AMB IC" on my memory risers, CPU dies, and the PSU. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me what acceptable ranges for these parts, or... Read more Source: MacRumors

Hi all, Ive been running Mojave on my flashed 5,1 with a EVGA flashed GTX 680 with no problems for the last couple of months.

Hi everybody, this is my first post! Thank you for allowing me into the group and I’m sure I will find the answer I need here. I have had an iPhone SE 2020 from New and recently it would not load any data randomly when on 4G, if I switched Wi-Fi on then it would load the webpages instantly. I contacted my mobile phone provider who sent me a new Sim card and this did not cure the problem, I then changed mobile phone provider (to a better deal too) from Three to Giffgaff and this again did...

Hi all, sorry for the stupid question but I previously had an issue and I just wanted to make sure I’m doing the right thing. I have an iPhone XS that I am trading in (sob) for the iPhone 13 Pro. The XS is currently on 14.8. I have done a back up to my computer and the essentials are all in the cloud. Previously I wasn’t permitted to restore because one of the devices wasn’t on the proper operating software (don’t recall if it was the computer, the back up or the new phone). Given that...

Hello, Have a new iPhone SE and just bought, also, a Galvonix wireless recharger from Amazon. Seems to work quite well, and re-charges thru the OtterBox iPhone case. Question: When I charge it overnight, is it important or necessary to shut the phone off first, or simply leave on all the time, and just put on the stand (while on) for a nightly "topping off" ? Any advantage if I shut off each night prior to ? Why ? Thanks, Bob Source: MacRumors

[ATTACH type=full" size="1080x565]2[/ATTACH] According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apples upcoming base model Macs could start with 16GB RAM by default, up from 8GB. This breaks a tradition that Apple has had going for around 8 years now. Apple increased the base RAM of the base model 13-inch MacBook Air from 4GB to 8GB in 2016, and since then it’s been the standard. For the most part this has been fine, but in recent years it’s been a growing complaint. However, that could be changing soon. According to Gurman, the tested M4 Macs “all have either 16 or 32 gigabytes of memory.” This means upcoming Mac buyers would potentially have 16GB of RA…

General advice for those concerned about their battery from the Support FAQ Wiki: Battery health Battery health depends on usage and a variety of other factors. It is normal to see a decrease in battery health by 7-10% per year, resulting in a battery health of 80-85% after 2 years. This number can fluctuate, remain the same, or decrease quickly over a small period and should not cause undue concern. Apple recommend battery replacement when your device falls below 80% battery health if you notice reduced battery life. If it falls below 80% within the first year you may be eligable for a free battery replacement. It fails after your warranty, it's a $69-$89 USD re…
