iOS 11 - who's upgrading?

[theboss]

It was terribly unstable on my 6 Plus - constant locking up and freezing / slow performance in apps - it also needed rebooting every few hours.

I have reset content and settings and that has helped with the stability but then I have only added a handful of apps.

I also can’t use speakerphone in calls - seems to be a bug.

I was handing onto this phone awaiting the 8/X but now feel very disillusioned about these products!

The new screenshot functionality is good. Finally in-line with Android features of 2016.

Noticed this morning that battery life isn’t as good.

Battery has now stabilised somewhat and percentage usage for Photos is down the list now (the main hog over the last few days).

Check it under settings.

I think you will find that only disconnects you from your current Wi-Fi connection.

You know have to dig into settings to fully turn Wi-Fi off. The message I see in the Wi-Fi settings page with the control centre button selected to off is

'New Wi-Fi network connections have been turned off from Control Centre'

So definitely not the same as before.

oh I didn't notice as only use one network at a time like my house/workplace.

If you turn off WiFi or Bluetooth from the settings menu, a line goes through the icon in Control Centre - and turns it off properly.

Just using control centre means it'll just come back on at some point...

holding off doing this and will be for a while. Question is how long till they stop supporting the SE?

Installed it without any hitches and it seems to have found a lot more storage space in my iPhone6.

Isn’t the SE the same as the 6 (in a smaller case!) ?
I only bought my SE 6 months ago as prefer the size
Apple watch 3 is comparable with 6 & later. SE included as ‘later’

Is it just me whose automatic activation of do not disturb when driving doesn’t activate?

[Alucidnation]

Similarly, I can’t even get CarPlay to connect anymore via usb.

Keeps saying connection failed and to check settings in the phone.

Seemed fine this morning.

Yep, it’s set to automatically come on and doesn’t.

One thing that is starting to annoy me a little is the behaviour after using the multitasking screen to close apps. On the iPhone, once you close the last app it automatically returns you to the icon page you were on, whereas on the iPad it leaves you on the Control Centre screen, and you have to tap an empty part of the screen to get back to the icon page (which is also how the phone behaved under iOS 10)

I’ve lost count of the number of apps I’ve accidentally opened on the iPhone after closing other apps because of the inconsistency between the two devices.

Earlier today I bought a new SE for my daughter so hopefully it'll be supported for a while yet. However I'm going to ditch my 5C and go to Android. My phone has had it and work have removed the need for the apps that meant I had to have an iPhone. It'll be interesting to see where my daughter and I end up in a couple of years!

I updated my old ipad mini 2, i was expecting it to be a bit buggy on such an old thing but its working fine, better than before, 7+ updated with no problems too.

4% of my battery has been used by Personal Hotspot over the past 24 hours even though it’s not on. Any ideas?

[K12beano]

No - a bit weird.

But - you know it’s coming - have you tried turning it on and turning it off again???

[jmorgan]

^^
I usually find that a hard reset helps a lot. Not forgetting that blue tooth will probably be enabled by default. Not sure why for hotspot though. Try turning it on then off?

I upgraded my 6s on Friday. Battery life has been noticeably worse since, so much so that I've just flipped over to power save mode to try and make a charge last a bit longer.

I've followed the main guides on the web - so things like location services are toggled to only while using for relevant apps, I don't have auto updates enabled etc.....in the time I've been typing this the phone with power saving enabled has dropped from 44% to 40%!

Hoping iOS 11.1 has some fixes or I'll be rolling back :-(

[ocrx8]

Having a minor meltdown here.

Phone (on iOS 11) backed up to iTunes on Sunday. Prior backup to this was last year.

Rolled back to iOS 10.3 last night due to dire battery. Go to restore phone in iTunes - only the backup from last year shows as available. Realise I have to go back to iOS 11 to get any of my recent content and photos back, which I want, so update software to iOS 11 once again.

Back into iTunes - the restore from Sunday still isn’t showing but I can see it in the appdata within Windows.

Any ideas?
