If you remember to turn off the wifi when not in use you get decent battery life. As for the screens, my 5, in a cheap soft surround (not a case, but this:Mounce said:

Well got 4 other opinions on the whole cracked block thing, AND the guy I went to who is supposedly a mechanic and owns a shop LIED to me!!!!! He must have thought I was stupid and wouldn't go asking others (due to the fact that I am a female, and shouldn't know anything about vehicles, and wouldn't be smart enough to get other opinions). So looks like I will get to keep my baby!!!! Yay!!!!! I'm so pleased!

Not here, every third person you see likely has, or has had a shattered iPhone. It's ridiculous.mcsteven said:If you remember to turn off the wifi when not in use you get decent battery life.

When I saw your post the other day about it I thought "hmmmm, that's odd" because I've never heard of an i6 block cracking. Maybe that first shop is just full of incompetent fucks who don't know TB's too well because I don't see how them telling you that your block is cracked would make them any more money so I don't see any reasoning for them to lie. Just don't go back to them, obviously incompetent or assholes, but probably both.TBLS said:

Yea, like I always so I am no mechanic so I had no idea. I think he was thinking he was gunna get me to buy a new motor so he could install it, which I am glad I didn't follow through! There is however a coolant leak which I have been told numerous times by the mechanics I normally go to. The guy I had check my TB for the "cracked block" is a guy I deliver parts to from work. So for him to even lie to me really pisses me off! I have no intentions of going back to him. I don't see how he gets so much business. So I am sticking to my original plant of the extra lift, cooler, and slightly bigger tires, along with the fender cutting.Mounce said:Not here, every third person you see likely has, or has had a shattered iPhone.

They don't even know where the dude got his information at all. All they found was a coolant leak (which I didn't find out where or how, didn't think to ask that) which in that case I have no idea where the cracked block came from. Like I said I am assuming because I am female he assumed that I wouldn't know anything and could damn near tell me anything.Mounce said:

I blew up my mom's car with a coolant leak at when 17. On the way to pick her up from the airport too. Sad thing is I had my own ride and knew she had a coolant leak. Find it and fix it. Pretend it's blood! You wouldn't put off a bleeding wound would you?!? It was a hose and I used tape that obviously didn't hold up.

He also might have just not wanted to work on it. I've seen that. For the coolant leak, get a pressure tester. If you find it leaking out, usually an easy fix. If no outward leak, it's probably a head gasket. That is not so easy but a lot less expensive than a supposed cracked block. throw some paper or cardboard underneath and it'll tell you where it's leaking from.TBLS said:

My TB radiator only leaked when cold. Didn't leak with the pressure tester. If I let it idle for 5mins I had a puddle and traced it that way. Leaked slow enough not to lower resevoir level much.

Only reason that I guessed those things is because of the "cracked block" diagnosis so I figured the leak was somewhere on the block.TBLS said:
So, why was it in the shop anyways? Lol
