iOS 9.0.2

[AB]

Both iPad Mini 3 and iPhone 6 have been upgraded and it's causing all sorts of trouble. I keep having to reset it to even be able to slide to unlock.

Outlook won't open, just instant crash. Safari crashes every now and again, Facebook, WhatsApp (notifications build up and randomly ping through every now and again), couple of others.

I can live without social media but I use the Outlook app a lot. Both iDevices seem to be completely and utterly bksed.

As an aside, Office 2016 for Mac on my Air is buggy as hell, I'm seeing the 'beachball' more than I ever have before and this is on a late 2014 i7/8GB/500SSD machine so nowhere near ageing!).

Dare I say it, are Apple losing their way? Does it no longer 'just work'?

It's driving me mad. The Macbook Air is my work machine so no end of productivity problems with Excel playing games.

I've issues with lag slowing freezing on a mini 2 air 2 5 & 5S I wish I hadn't updated them

I can take calls, but most other features don't want to work.

Might as well add to the list here...

My whatsapp refuses to work at all now.

I assume that going from 8.4 to 9.0.2 on my iPhone 5S is not worth it then?

My 4s and Ipad mini 1 have been working like a dream on 9.0.2
They were bl**dy awful on 8.4

Try resetting your device by pressing and holding the select and power button.

Keep pressed until you see the Apple logo.

My old ipad has been misbehaving badly of late , generally being very slow to open anything.

Last night I decided to delete all and reload the lot, made sure everything was saved to the cloud , got all my passwords to hand and went for a complete reset.

Probably took 90 minutes before the last apps had downloaded, but now working fine.

I have an iPad2 Retina with the same symptoms.

For the benefit of a thicky, can you provide a link for how you do this?

Thanks

Go in to Sertings
Then general
Scroll down to reset,
Then select an option that you are comfortable with.

There are softer resets , but I just cleared everything and started from scratch again, it's truly very easy to do.

Just make sure you have your apple is and password to hand before you proceed

After the upgrade, when I face time, those I am facetimimg cant see me, but I can see them. Had the pad checked at the Apple shop, thats fine they said.

Checked it at work with a pals pad at work, worked OK albeit a bit jerky, could be the works internet signal.

Called TalkTalk, they said my line was all good.

The wi-fi from the router downstairs to my desk top upstairs, hasnt been fast for ages, moved the router next to it with a long phone cable, worked fine so installed a Tp-Link, power extender, plug one unit into a power socket next to the router, cable from it to the router, and it transmits via the house ring main, upstairs next to the PC is a receiver plugged into a power socket and cable to the PC, works like greased lighning, so I am am thinking maybe the router is the problem.

Anyone think a new router may make a difference, I read somewhere you should replace them now and again, mine is over 6 years old. Incidently I face time from my pad in the front room only 4 metres from the router, even next to it I have same problem. they cant see me.

Any ideas?

Depending on your ipad vintage, my iPhone 6s really struggles to latch on to my ac wifi router, whereas before, my iPhone5s which was n connected instantly.

I wouldn't, it buggered up my 5S to the point I'm selling it and I've bought a new 5S with iOS8

I have no issues on my old 5s

Updated to IOS 9.1 Beta this morning.
Seems ok.

I always advise people not to perform these updates until they've been out in the wild for a few weeks or even more. Rarely do the updates provide new essential features. The majority of the time, you'll be able to carry on using the phone perfectly well with the old iOS.

If you do an update and want to roll back to a previous iOS version, you can download the .ipsw files from this site (to which I have no affiliation, but do use regularly) http://ipswdownloader.com/

Use iTunes to Restore your iPhone (or iPad/iPod) using an .ipsw file of your choice by Shift+Click on the Restore button when prompted. Note this method totally wipes the device so be sure to back up first, if needed.

I have a back up copy of my iPhone before every major upgrade.

Only thing I hate so far is the double click and then how they have decided to show all the programs running, that and if I turn the phone to landscape mode it doesnt do the same as before and also switch.

Both Mrs Beano and I are iPhone users and she has an iPad (a pre-Air by about a month to date it).

Whilst Mrs B's iPad has just about no free storage it has been quite temperamental on 9.0.2 now where it was quite useable on 8.x.x

We're also both moving up to iPhone 6s. She from an iPhone 3GS (!!!) and backup and restore has been nothing but a pain in the antenna, what with it hanging on iCloud restore because of 9.0.0 and 9.0.1 issues; everything restored EXCEPT calendars and contacts until we did an iTunes restore, apps not restored from backup and now Calendar has a glitch with the time zone! What good is a calendar if you have to keep guessing which hour the appointments are supposed to be?!

Admittedly we're moving up a good few iOS iterations but even so - two years ago I last upgraded my phone and it was a doddle. Not really looking forward to the experience this weekend when I go through all the same pain!

Using the .ipsw files only works when the verification window that Apple sets is valid. As of right now, the only public release that will be signed off upon restore is 9.0.2. If you try to restore to an older version of the software, it'll get so far and then tell you it can't be verified. Those on iOS 8 that aren't sure should stay put until more bugs are fixed - it's a one way street otherwise.


Delighted to see a 9.0.2 jailbreak has been released. I realise I'm a dying breed that still jailbreaks, but there are still little annoyances in iOS that Apple refuses to address, or won't address until the next major version. Tested as working perfectly on my work 5s and my personal 6. Very, very few tweaks that work as of yet until the developers get round to updating them.
