I have a iphone 5s and updated software to adopt the IOS8 system and what a farkin mistake.
Since the upgrade 1 week ago my sms message history wipes from my mobile.
I realised if I turn mobile off then back on it comes back.
I had to do it 3 times today.
If I can't sort it out I'm going Samsung which I don't want to do but I'm frustrated.
Any tips from you tech savy people ?

Sucks to be you....

But it sucks harder to be me, as I had the 4S....

I've got a 5s and haven't had a drama with iOS 8?

I am dreading the day we'll have to use Windows 10, and they've already stopped support for their best ever OS - Win XP. Why? Because it worked!

My iphone 6 drops its data, I flick on airplane mode for a few seconds then it works again.... I thought it was just a network thing as it never did it when I was on vodafone, now I'm on amaysim.

Try putting it on a microwave oven for 1 minute on low!

If you're going to throw in the towel do not go to Samsung.
Pick HTC or Nexus.

Have you called Apple? Their help line is usually top notch - you'll talk to a real American.
If they can't fix it they'll replace it. You have to go to the store though.

Wife had a 4s and after upgrading to iOS7 it couldn't iMessage my phone. Only SMS. They replaced it with a new 4s.
We happened to upgrade a week later to 5s and were able to give the brand new 4s as a gift.

Cheers.
I'm going to call into Apple store tomorrow.
I got my 5S from Kogan on line.
I'm sure it's something basic - just very frustrating.

My twat nav feature on my iphone has gone stupid since I upgraded to IO8. Its really slow and takes about 3 minutes to update where I am. Nearly had to get the old school map out the other day.

Problem solved.
I just bought a iphone 6+.
Not cheap at $1100+ but it looks the goods.

Happy days for me. Windows 10 ain't bad, but I'm still uninstalling 8.1 for Win7.
