New rules

20 Upvotes

Hello all. Just wanted to let everyone know that we have finally implemented a couple of rules on this subreddit. Nothing special, just common sense stuff. The biggest change is that we no longer allow battery health posts and discussions/questions about bypassing iCloud Lock.

Happy posting!

I’ve had my iPhone XR for a while now, but just the day before, I restarted it cause none of my apps would work, even though it was working before it happened, and then all of a sudden, I couldn’t connect to wifi or look at my apps or anything. What do I do?

Fixed my old iPhone XR's shattered screen with a $20 kit

Fixed my iPhone XR's broken screen yesterday. I bought this phone back in 2019 and it served me well until I got bored of it, so I took off the case and screen protector and let fate do its work. Sure enough, my charger cable snagged on something while I was walking at work and the phone slammed straight into the concrete floor. I upgraded to a 13 Pro after that, and recently a 15 Pro.

Still, I have a soft spot for this phone. It was my first big boy purchase, paid for with money I saved from my first job in high school. At this point I'm convinced it's going to outlive me 😂

The kit was around $20 on Amazon with tools included, and the whole thing took me about an hour. It was relatively easy, though I kind of half-assed mine. If you're doing this on an XR you actually use as your daily phone, take your time, be really gentle, and follow the instructions and a YouTube video closely. Otherwise it's cake.
Might do the 🔋and back glass next just for fun.

I just was charging my phone when this box appeared on the top of my screen. I tried restarting and it didn’t go away. Note this phone has been used since 2018 when it first came out.

Iphone XR or iphone 11

9 Upvotes

Hi and thank you in advance. I want to get an iphone xr mainly because I've been wanting it for months now. The 11 is just a "go 2". I'm getting the 256GB tho.

I want the XR because I'm into vintage aesthetic. Anything thing I should know or avoid before purchasing the XR? Or should I even purchase it?

My XR seems to be unable to update to IOS 18.7.10 , I cannot figure out what’s happening.

8 Upvotes

So let me begin my issue with my XR phone.

I am basically using this XR phone since I have purchased this in 2018, no major problems with my phone. It keeps on functioning even after 8 years of use. But recently my phone had a Mobile Service error sign popped up which stops me from using my own mobile data network from a provider until I make an update to the IOS 18.7.10. I am currently running IOS 17.4.1 version. When I tried installing to the latest software version which I already mentioned, the verifying update was basically stuck even after 10 plus more hours of it showing it. I could not even force restart it. So when the battery died, I was able to use my phone again and I checked again which says software update failed. Now I have already deleted the corrupted IOS 18 update. What should I do now, should I bring to Apple Store for a fix or what. Many thanks to anyone who could provide an explanation

Switched to iphone 16 & 17 last year but I know it in my heart of heart, no other iphone will replace my love for my XR. It was my first firsthand phone that my father had gifted me in 2019. only 64 gb but it sustained. It could no longer run properly and had developed cracks which compelled me to purchase a new one. Feels like a time capsule. Still works fine though

Some UPI apps failing device registration while others work. Has anyone else experienced this?

7 Upvotes

I'm using an iPhone XR and I'm seeing a strange issue with UPI registration.

What's happening

The same SIM card and bank account work normally on another phone.

On this iPhone XR:

Working

  • Google Pay
  • CRED UPI
  • BHIM UPI

Not Working

  • Paytm UPI
  • Amazon Pay UPI
  • MobiKwik UPI

The failures happen during the device registration / bank account setup process.

What's confusing

  • Calls, SMS, mobile data, and other apps work normally.
  • The same SIM and bank account work on another device.
  • Some UPI apps work fine on this iPhone XR, while others do not.

Questions

  1. Is anyone else using an iPhone XR and seeing similar behavior?
  2. Which UPI apps work and don't work for you?
  3. If you had this issue, were you able to resolve it?
  4. Did anything specific help, such as an iOS update, app update, reinstall, device reset, or support intervention?

I'm mainly trying to understand whether this is an issue specific to my device or something other iPhone XR users have also encountered.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

My XR has been with me for more than 6 years. This phone has been with me through thicks and thins, for past 1.5 years it has drastically slowed down, since I got 64gb model it is almost unusable for me today but I love it a lot no matter how many times I have cussed it when it just lagged like crazy while watching videos or browsing the internet. This was my first iPhone so will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️
