Tazio Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I always wait until the first update of a new OS before downloading it. Let the suckers deal with the early glitchy version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Folk still surprised at this.. New ios updates **** the battery life and performamce of old phones.. It's deliberate.. So you buy a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambojay84 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 How do you stop it downloading automatically?hi mate I think after a while your phone will start prompting you to update and you can cancel it there,word of caution after a while it will get impatient with you and prompt you all the time [emoji23] hope this helps [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasman Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Just downloaded this onto my phone , it?s knocking the shit out of the phone battery . Anyone noticed this and any solutions ? Check that your settings don?t now have WiFi, Personal Hotspot, or Bluetooth, continually switched on and draining your battery - I had to go back into settings and switch them off. Since then I?d say there?s no difference in my battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasman Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Apparantly some older apps will stop working. Only if the App Developer hasn?t upgraded them from 32bit to 64bit sometime over the last year - so basically just likely to be any unsupported Apps.

The Gasman Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 ....New ios updates **** the battery life and performamce of old phones.. It's deliberate.. So you buy a new one Not quite correct, but batteries are only designed and built to last a couple of years - so you?ll then upgrade your phone as you?ve got frustrated that it won?t hold a charge.... ....or you?ll sort that by just getting a new battery if your handset?s still okay.

Peebo Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The fact that turning off WiFi from the menu you swipe up at the bottom doesn?t really turn it off is very ****ing annoying. I do it when leaving the house as I don?t want to connect to the useless Lothian transport when sitting on or passing a bus...but now it just automatically reconnects to any new connection (unless I go into the settings and switch off).

marshallschunkychicken Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I?ve had it for the past couple of months through the public beta. I?ve had a couple of updates on the beta where the battery was absolutely pummelled, but the official release has been okay for me. I think it?s a bit of luck of the draw whether it affects you - try a restore and it may sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasman Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Seems to be settling down now but I did find that the Bluetooth seemed to be switching on automatically for some strange reason . If you were in the habit (as I was) of swiping up to then switch off WiFi and/or Bluetooth, that no longer works the same. Doing that now just disconnects them, so they?ll keep trying to reconnect, and keep eating battery power, which is no good. To actually turn them off you now have to go into settings, and do it from there, which is a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gershwin Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Doesn't seem to be many changes except redesigned native app icons and bolder fonts EVERYWHERE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gasman Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Yeah, that?s what I was posting about above. ******* annoying. Some sites and pages suggesting it?s a glitch, and should be resolved in 11.01 It?s not that big a deal really, but as you say, it?s a bloody nuisance, so hopefully it will get ?sorted?.

gashauskis9 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 My phone now looks and feels like it did 3/4 years ago. Blinded by science yet again, genuinely feel the basic everyday use of apple products is going backwards (unless you have very specific uses for stuff).

The Gasman Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 The phones inbuilt pedometer seems to have an issue with IOS 11, as suddenly my house is roughly 700 steps closer to the bus stop than it used to be. Not a major issue for me, but not great for anyone relying on it for training or monitoring their fitness. :meh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoped the 11.01 release would fix the issue but it?s still there. It was handy being able to swipe up and turn off WiFi when I left the house. Now it tries to automatically connect to buses etc when I do that. Irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
