kukynas Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I could swallow slow speed and overall response, fast battery drain and I don't know what else but be unable to connect to my BT devices including car is just too much...don't know what else has to happen to force Apple fixing these issues but it seems the only way how to solve it is dump the damn phone and buy an Android 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proftournesol Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Check Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services to see how many apps are regularly polling. This uses an enormous amount of battery power. Try turning location services off and see what that does to battery life, then turn them on a few at a time to see what the culprit is. I'm not sure why you have BT connection problems, my iphoneX connects fine to 2 cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kukynas Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) thanks guys to help me out with battery issues but as said I can live with it as I know why its draining faster, what I don't understand is BT issues after update as reported on several forums including Apple tech forum by lots of people, as said I can live with slow speed and battery but I can't live with the phone if it can't connect to BT devices edit: and I did all the resetting as suggested on those forums, it didn't help me as it didn't help others...

frankn Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Weird, my iPhone BT function is working great. Been using it all week with headphones and found I can be in another room from my phone and the cans still pick up the Spotify broadcast from my mobile.

kukynas Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 nope, just reset of the all communication channels which does restart of the phone as suggested on the forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankn Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Dunno - i’d Try a reset all settings.. after checking the ‘carplay’ setup - you might simply need to re-do that and re-do the handshake in the car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kukynas Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Thanks, will check tomorrow, unfortunately it’s not only car, my watch stopped working(connecting) as well, will see if hard reset helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BATMAQN Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Apples updates can be problematic just as Android and whatever OS people run, I believe the trouble is they are trying to accommodate too many devices across different models on these platforms they sometimes need a few go’s with their updates to get things right I and many others like yourself have had iPhone update issues Apple did something like 4 updates in 2 weeks recently while that is a pain at least they do try to rectify their stuff ups just have to be patient nowadays I guess.

They were going to swap her battery for free, then broke something in the repair = Brand new 6S+ that is working flawlessly. Can't complain about their after sales service. I handed my 6 to my father who gave his 5 to my mum. All working fine on current iOS, although mum and dad don't have many apps etc. In all the iPhones/iPads I've had, I've never had a bluetooth problem that couldn't be rectified by a power off/on. I do have intermittent issues with a garmin bike computer, but appears to be issues between the 2 companies. I currently have 11 devices my iPhone X is paired with (not at the same time) and very rarely have an issue I'd suggest a back up. Restore to factory settings and then restore from back up.

Although rather embarrassingly, it doesn't have the ability to see "devices available" in Spotify. Orphan operating systems have their benefits some times.

kukynas Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 couple of thousands more gray hairs, 5 hours fiddling, couple of forums read, couple of factory resets, reinstall of the aps, firmware updates and I don't what else but it's finally working, watches are asking for pairing always they loose BT signal with phone (no idea why) but I can live with that for now, one more such problem and it goes...I don't have time, patience and frustration free attitude for such fiddling, I would rather pay for new droid phone every 2 years than this...

kukynas Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 one more thing, not just general rant but my real experience, when I bought my first ipad 7 years ago I expected benchmark performance, hassle free OS and exceptional battery life and I got it all so I didn't questioning paying premium for it (btw. it's still in use with original battery) or buying droid version instead, my 3 years old ipad had already battery changed (beginning of this year) and I wouldn't call it benchmark anymore, my phone is nearly 3 years old and had also battery changed 6 months ago, is crazy slow since update to iOS 10xx ( I think) and with every update there's some restart or resetting required (besides latest experience), my wife's S6 Edge was running perfectly fine without issues with OS or slow speed and battery would be on par with iPhone but I paid only 60% of the cost of iPhone, if I take current iPhone 8 and compare it with competitors do you think I will get benchmark for their money? nope, overpriced average phone... I thought I will live with it for another 6-12 months until I buy new one but I don't think it'll or I survive for so long and I don't think it'll be apple again if they continue on the same path...

Addicted to music Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Stop whining Daniel, im still running a iPhone5 and a 2nd generation iPad that’s now 4yrs old for work! The iPhone 5 is a hand me down that I’ve now had for 3-4yrs, Battery is a hit and miss..... I never load the latest FW or OS purely because of this reason.... wait a few months and wait till everyone finds a fix for it....when the coast is clear then I load..... sick of FW causing issues, that’s the OPPO FW eco system too! Programmers trying to fix issues guarantee to stuff it up as most will never test what they have written.... unfortunately now days the consumer is the test bed.....most companies learnt and practice from the likes of Microsoft!

kevanp Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 My wife has iPhone 6+ and I have an iPad both are nearly 3 years old and work with no problems what so ever. About 2 years ago my son dropped his nearly 2 year old iPad and damaged the screen so it could not be used.We went into a Apple shop to see what could be done and, the very helpful staff member took it out the back to have a look and then returned to say no problems were swap it for the latest new version I only have good things to say about Apple customer service.

What a load of rubbish. The reality is that overall the code is very complex so QC and tests are completed but the companies can never replicate all the various ways ‘the great unwashed’ will use the product. Sometimes though there is a stuff-up in programming - they are human after all. No matter - if it was all good what an earth would you have to whine about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an Apple store nearby? Is it possible use another phone in the mean time and send it to them if you don't? The after sales service is the best I've ever come across. I'm lucky that I have a store only 10 minutes drive away, but all this frustration isn't worth it, just get them to look at it. All things being equal, I'd imagine an OS written expressly for known devices the same company designed and manufactured, should be more stable than having the software and hardware from separate companies, like you do with Android.

I have a Google pixel and my wife has a pixel XL2 and both of them have been exceptionally good. The hardware and the software quality control of the Google branded stuff is very different - though you pay accordingly for it.

Yes, actually on further thought, my very first Android was an old Nexus jobby. It was a bit slow but from memory stable. Then again, it was a pretty straight forward phone and the OS was quite small / light back then perhaps. I guess all the junk that vendors stick on top of Android is part of the issue?

Ittaku Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Just now, scumbag said: I guess all the junk that vendors stick on top of Android is part of the issue? Android as an operating system is a very expansive distribution of linux designed to do all sorts of things on all sorts of hardware. Google's Android is a very customised Linux distribution where they do QA testing on everything they include in the software. While I hate the analogy given we're bagging on Apple, the former is like installing windows on some random hardware while the latter is like installing MacOS on known Mac hardware. Thus you get the risk that crap doesn't work on the former, while you pay more but everything works on the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
