IOS 8

[Deeg]

If you scroll down quickly it should reappear

Cheers.

And @AK

Will do that next time it does it.

When plugged in? Disable the hey Siri thing

It does it when plugged in and not to be honest. Never even knew that 'hey siri' thing existed.
I've turned it off now though, even though I don't think ive ever uttered those words in my life. Actually might as well turn off Siri altogether; I never use it.

Maybe I've been having Siri dreams?

If it was activating itself, it's likely an issue with your home button, as that is what causes Siri to be activated, other than hey Siri obviously.

The trouble is, you can't fully turn off Siri / voice control, so the only way to solve it is a repair / replacement.

Its a feature of iOS 8 sir.

Its a feature of iOS 8 sir.

To do it on it's own, unprovoked is a feature?

 

[Munson]

Anyone else having an issue whereby any new contacts added in iOS 8 do not have the custom label option available? Very irksome.

I've still got add custom label as an option when adding a new contact in 8.1.

 

[Munson]

Ok cheers. Looks like a fresh install may be on the cards then.

 

[Munson]

Oh. Turns out it was a coincidence after also recently adding an Outlook email account to my iPhone. All sorted now.

 

[Carlv8415]

Anyone else had airdrop stop working since installing 8.1 ? I can see my phone via my MacBook but can't see my MacBook on my phone.

 

[DannyR]

My airdrop barely worked on 7!

 

[Carlv8415]

On 7 there was no support across different platforms. It was a new feature in 8

 

[DannyR]

I know, but phone to phone mine barely worked!

 

[DannyR]

Anyone got handoff to work? I have no idea if I'm doing something wrong or what? Being Apple I just expected it to work. It is turned on on both devices.

 

[DannyR]

Should of googled it first, Bluetooth needs to be turned on.

 

[Adam D]

Just updated to software to 8.1, great camera roll is back! .. but all shared photo stream albums have gone, even checking on my iPad which is still on 7.something and they've gone from the account there too.

Any idea why? I had photos in there not saved elsewhere!

 

[Tom]

You accepted iCloud t&c's?

 

[N0ddie]

Since updating to 8.1 the batteries in my 6 and wife's 6 dont last at all. Even when not used they drop significantly. Use it for a short period and its properly raped.

Not sure if this is iphone 6 related, or ios8, but I can no longer use personal hotspot to a windows device?

It just connects, then insta disconnects.

Haven't tested it on a Mac yet. But have on multiple windows machines.

I was hotspotting the other day to my chromebook. Seemed to be working ok.

I have the newest version of ios8 on my iPhone 5.

 

[DannyR]

Just in case any apple haters were in here.

[dajones]

I'm on lollipop on my htc m8, running pretty well, it is side loaded though. I still want to take a hammer to the iPad though!

I was using personal hotspot with one of our Panasonic Toughbooks the other day on a breakdown and had no issues.

I'm still on 7. When the first bugs were announced I decided to wait for 8.1. Now I'm wondering if it's worth changing as I've no issues with 7 and hate change.

What are peoples favourite features of 8 over 7?

 

[Danny133]

Can't understand people that never upgrade .. It's free and it improves an already good system what reason is there not to change

 

[Knuckles]

I preferred iOS 7.

It seems to have slowed my iPhone 5s (which has never had an update...I didn't want this to happen) and its fucked AirPlay.

 

[McGherkin]

Because it's a well known fact that it slows down older devices, far beyond what you would expect for a minor graphical change. Whether that is a deliberate move to make users upgrade to newer devices, or just horrifically bad programming, is a matter of opinion.

 

[DrR]

I miss the fact it doesn't display the time in Safari the most.

I was told it was due to the processor or whatever it is only being able to take a certain amount of updates before it goes to s**t.

Hence my 4 running iOS 7 being borderline unusable. So I won't be upgrading to the new iOS until it's a major overhaul.

How much has actually changed? Slightly different theme, updated (supposedly better optimized) processes, couple of new apps... and your phone runs at half the speed. Not even Windows 8 is that bad.

Yup, new look, worse undeletable apps and a slower operating speed.

I had to do this update though because I couldn't access my pages documents on any device without the update

Then I couldn't use my atv with the new iOS without updating its os

After using it since release, the only thing I like is SwiftKey. Alot of the other features I don't seem to use.

Copy links and copy and paste doesn't work properly which really annoys me.

 

[ilovewilly]

See, the ability to copy and paste which I use umpteen times a day, is much more of a concern from a usability point of view, than to purely upgrade for the sake of it.

I shall stick to what I know. Thanks for the feedback.

 

[DrR]

is it possible to go back to ios7?

 

[Geddes]

i prefer 7 to 8. My iPad has gone s**t ever since gone onto 8. Poorer batter life, it's horrible on safari.

I want to go back onto 7 too

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah I'd like to go back to 7 too, preferred that and have given time to adjust with 8 but would like 7 back. Somehow I don't think there's much chance of that though.

 

[Jaff.]

It can be done if you can find an ios7 file online

 

[Adamm.]

I'd ask how you go about finding and installing said file but I don't even have a computer. Wonder if its something they could do in an apple store.

 

[Jaff.]

You need iTunes to do it so you have no hope

 

[Dave H]

What I hate about iOS8 is when you open a page in Safari and then leave it to look at another. It seems that the data is lost from the first page you opened, and you need to DL it again to see it. This really fcuks me off when i'm underground on the subway and theres no signal. Boy do I really hate it....as much as I do Robin Thicke !!!
