I don't think this is iOS 11 related, but who knows...

On my 6S+ yesterday, the battery went from 100% to about 70% in the space of 3 hours where it was mostly unused. Then it dropped to around 20% within 4 hours, then by the end of the day it was sat on 1%. It stayed on 1% - not turning off - for at least 4 more hours. In the end I plopped it next to my bed playing a podcast while I slept and it did the honourable thing and switched itself off sometime in the middle of the night, showing the "need charge" animation if I try and turn it on.

I'm guessing my battery needs some kind of calibration (I thought that was a myth with these batteries?). Is there a defacto way to do this properly?
Mine was showing photos as the main usage. I always reboot on an update but it seems to have settled down.

Nice! When did they hide that away in there? I’m sure it used to be in the display and wallpaper menu.

Just upgraded to the new OS with purchase of an iPhone 8. Skype now crashes immediately on being selected. I see that there is a "business" version of Skype, in addition to the "social networking" variant.

Can any Skype users suggest a solution?

Thanks for that, they really buried the auto dim option in IOS11.

Annoyingly upgrading to iOS 11 somehow upgraded my Skype app as well, which I had specifically avoided updating because of the whole tweens-focused redesign. mad

Reboot the phone first. If that doesn't solve it then I would suggest deleting the app, rebooting the phone and then re-downloading the app.

Just followed Teppic's suggestion. It looked promising at first: allowed me to enter my user name but crashed again when I went to the password page.

I think I'll sit this one out until the next OS upgrade arrives. Am already doing that with our iPads.

Skype for business is what used to be Microsoft Lync.

Fresh install yesterday morning. Battery life still poorer and the phone (iPhone 6) is much less responsive than under 10.

There’s a few things I’ve started to find that are useful.

(6s+ that I’ve decided to keep for at least another year now)

Going into Settings and being able to easily tweak things - deleting apps which it turns out you never used, looking at and deleting all those mail attachments (why oh why oh why do I take pictures of cups of coffee and send them?????) and generally how it handles storage.

I’ve got half the space on a 64Gb ‘phone again!


Perversely, Mrs Beano maintains that she won’t update apps because if she does so all the apps she has deleted reappear in her phone! rolleyes I have seen no evidence this actually happens yet we updated her to iOS 11 and she has 50-60 updates which she won’t do smashwobble

Why didn’t they warn us more prominently about that?
3 apps i use all the time are dead.
Surely the apps you use all the time had been warning you every time you went in to them for the past several weeks?

Anyone had a problem being able to skip tracks in your car on IOS 11. Car is an M135i 2015 model year. Since the update I can’t change tracks through idrive and selecting podcasts causes an app crash.

Well I’ve gone for it and so far no issues.

Haven’t tried car play yet but I can’t see there being anything much different tbh.

Saying that, I don’t use any of the apps mentioned.

Just had a total phone freeze, mail was ‘greyed out’ but not available to go to, no other app or screen would respond either, had to do a hard reset to cure it.
