[Software Update] iOS 8.3 discussions

[swgj86]

i think the reason why singtel block the update is because i've ever encountered the update is being downloaded to the phone. when i checked the usage statistics, i saw a 500mb ios 8.2 update there so maybe telco block to prevent data usage?

got block meh?

i using singtel line. got the ota yesterday morning. but usually software update download via wifi. faster. if not, xiong on ur data bundle sia.

Using which iPhone? my 6+ drops 1% in around 10 mins at least of continuous surfing in 4G.

Using iphone 6 just check with apple support online. They check log file hardware battery is alright. Which is a good thing. So at least isolate is like ios 8.3 issue. Previously was ok, i dont have much app and turn off most notifications.

May have an impact on your mobile data mileage. Apps like youtube may pick the "best quality" video playback your current bandwidth can support.

Lower bandwidth (i.e. in HSPA) may influence apps like these to go easy with how much data it eats. Also 2G/3G/4G runs on different networks. Good signal strength for a particular band is not representative that all other bands will be stable and strong.

i.e. if your office has weak 4G and decent 3G, you may want to prefer a 3G connection or else your phone would trip between 4G and 3G (more battery drain as your phone searches for networks actively etc...)

Also, sometimes there are carrier network issues with a specific band. i.e. 4G gives you 5/5 bars, you can't connect to the internet at all, 3G works however. As such, you may want to let the phone prefer 3G. vice versa.

Just updated for the 5S from IOS 7.12

Completed without a glitch.

Tested browsing/photo/music/spotlight search/mail/SMS/whatapps/touch ID & other apps & most were fine.

Had a lot of my apps requiring updating.

So far so good. Next see how the battery fair.

Waited for nearly a year for this tardy update.

All I can say now is.........

Bloody Apple, Its about goddam time!

Dammit Encounter some issues

1. Spotlight cannot make up its mind whether to work
2. Mail app become a blank page once.

Nearly 1 year & this is what Apple has to show.

This is what happends when a company loses focus on its core product.
