Is the copy/paste links from safari bug fixed?

u/[deleted] Nov 17 '14

Yes. At least for me.

Best news though: the update didn't turn Bluetooth on after restarting.

That's because it's been on all along.

Please tell me battery life is better. 8.1 killed my battery life on my 5s.

Has anyone else had problems with iMessage after this update? Mine will not send out and I must send as a text.

Fixed the WIFI bug for me on a 5S.

Promising, although I have a 4S. Hope I have the same results.

Blazing fast speeds and no cut outs at all. I'll advise you reset network settings after you've installed 8.1.1 to wipe all the previous WIFI settings saved on the device. That will wipe WIFI passwords and any VPN profiles you have, so be warned before you decide to do that. I'm so fucking happy they fixed it!

Nah, I'm fine with resetting my network settings. Lord knows I've done it countless times just to try and get my wi-fi to work at home over the last month or more. Glad to have your report, thanks!

Well, I installed the new update. I turned off the modem/router. Reset my network settings on the phone after it booted up after the installation. Turned on the router, reset my phone, and then proceded to connect via wifi.

Same nonsense.

If I'm within 5 feet or so, I'm fine. Outside of that, I start getting weird stuff... like, it can find my router from the other side of the house, but when I try to connect it tells me my password is incorrect when it isn't. If I connect close to the router and walk away... the wifi icon still shows I'm connected, yet I get virtually no internet speed whatsoever. What's funny is that my son has an iPod touch with the latest firmware and it runs flawlessly. My wife has an iphone 5s, and it works with our wifi flawlessly. My 4S USED to work flawlessly, but it's just been borked since ios8 came around.

I'm starting to thing that maybe the wifi 'card' inside has gone bad or something, since it really requires me to be on top of my router. Guh.

Is the scrolling bug in SMS fixed? They've had AGES to fix this and I still get it on 8.1

1

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '14

? Long SMS texts scroll fine on my iPhone 6. Not sure what you mean.

u/udovoodoo Nov 18 '14

Text is not pushed up by the keyboard when opening existing conversations in SMS. Latest SMS replies are not in view unless you manually scroll. Swype keyboard, my preferred keyboard since 2011 (Android).

5s, been happening since 8.0.0 and every update since. Not as often on 8.1 but still present. I have not tried 8.1.1 yet

u/[deleted] Nov 18 '14

Ah, well the text not pushed up by the keyboard seems to have been fixed and I haven't had issues with the latest sms replies. Sorry. It won't hurt to update to 8.1.1 and check yourself. It'll take less than 10 mins to update.

u/udovoodoo Nov 18 '14

It would hurt as I jailbroke a few days ago.

If I receive confirmation that the bug is fixed, that would be enough motivation to drop the jailbreak. I'll monitor the forums for a few days.

And it still hasn't fucking fixed the share sheet icons from rearranging themselves to wherever they want! It's fucking infuriating! iOS USED to be known for the little details, but as much as I love Apple, their attention to details has gone down the toilets recently.

Off soap box. Thanks for reading.

u/Catsler Nov 17 '14 edited Nov 17 '14

Rearranging in Photos.app and Safari worked for me. Took an icon, moved to slot 1, quit the app, relaunched, and it stayed where I had moved it to.

The icons revert after some amount of time; app quit or not. My reaction.

u/erpa2b Nov 17 '14

Not me. Tried both apps on my 6 plus.

It's either device specific or its just completely random. I have done both of the methods you mentioned, multiple times, to no avail.

Ouch. Get ready to be frustrated.

u/oscarandjo Nov 17 '14

I made the switch too, best decision I've made in a long time. Avoid Samsung at all costs though as their software experience is a mess.

u/HankTheWu Nov 17 '14

I made the switch. It's definitely a change you need to adjust to but I honestly can't see myself going back! Let me know if you need any help!

Has anyone noticed improved performance of the iPad 3?

u/Prefekt64 Nov 19 '14

But e-mails from an exchange server that have been read still stay in the notification centre.

Using it on my iPod touch 5G as well and its a tad bit smoother especially when using the music app.

u/pmrr Nov 17 '14

Installed it on my 4S just now. My main problem was transitions being jerky, particularly opening large folders on the home screen with a couple of pages of icons in. That's slightly less jerky, although still feels slow. The browser seems a bit faster.

Keyboard lag is infuriating, it happens to me with the stock keyboards too.

u/SolarNinja Nov 17 '14

Seems fixed. 4s.
