Apple Releases iOS 7.1.2 With Mail Fixes, iBeacon Improvements

Woohoo! Love this update. It fixed three annoying bugs I was having.

My WiFi now sticks to my home network a lot more, this was a documented fix.

But something not listed as a fix but now repaired were problems I was having with iTunes. When I updated the Genre of my music in iTunes on my rMBP these changes weren't being passed to my iPhone or iPad. I also had a weird error under 'Composers' where I had ten identical entries that listed all songs but the playlist itself was empty (and my 'Composer' fields are actually all blank).

I tried three restores on my iPhone and two on my iPad with a complete new install of all apps and music etc (not a restore off a possibly corrupted backup). The same issues kept popping up. All now fixed!

Mine has been going for an hour, the download took 10min, once the phone restarted it has been 45 min and no movement. Grrr I need to go run. 32MB UPDATE should not take this long to install, so much for that lightning fast processor Apple put in these 5s phones.....

Edit: I forced a restart on the phone and I am at 7.1.2. Restarted and came right up.

I just saved my phone doing the same! I thought I was the only one with this problem.
 
7.1.2 Progressively "slower" per Geek bench 3

Are other iPhone 5 owners having the same experience? ( sorry, the site would not allow me to attach all of the screen captures to this post or I don't know how to do it :))

I don't think a drop of slightly over 1% is anything to worry about.
 
Anyone notice that the "Flagged" mail smart mailbox is behaving differently?

I could swear before it was hidden unless something was flagged. Now it appears to be either completely disabled or I have to turn it on and it always shows.

Thanks for the reply, I'm not worried. Thats why I put "slower" in quotes. :)

Despite the drop in GB Scores I have not noticed any performance drop of my iPhone 5. I just want to know if other iPhone 5 owners have noticed their GB Scores dropping as well.
 
Urgghhhh.....update was the bain of my life today. It locked up on my gf's 5S so she had to hard reset but then it worked fine.

On my 5S it bricked the phone. It required a full restore which took the entire day to download again.

Saying that, it loaded perfectly on my iPad Air.

1 out of 3....not great.
 
Mine also froze for an hour and the hard reset fixed it. Seeing as it's so wide spread, my guess is that it was encrypting all the email attachments that weren't before?

Has DRAMATICALLY improved my 5 battery life; I think I'll re-install Find My Friends!

The battery life on my 5 started to get very poor under 7.1.1. 7.1.2 seems to have reset something and I'm back to better battery life.

I don't know if it was the update itself, or an app that was getting stuck and pegging the CPU unnecessarily.

Congrats on the most uneducated post on MacRumors today!

I use it so I can have 5 x 5 icons... so you're telling me that's ugly? Last time I checked, a stock iPhone screen's icons are so big it looks like the menus for the visually impaired they have at restaurants.

That's interesting. 7.1.0 was HORRIBLE for battery life on my 5, but 7.1.1 has been much better. Haven't updated to 7.1.2. Probably this weekend when I have the time to mess with it if it bricks.

I have a specific issue / bug with 7.1.1 -- which did not happen in earlier builds of iOS 7 -- I'm curious if anyone else has this issue. It survives a complete DFU reinstall of 7.1.1 and even when the iPhone is setup "as new" without any restore.

Here is the setup. I own a Mazda 3 which has stock (factory) stereo which is capable of Bluetooth 2.0 (Bluetooth Stereo / Audio). I connect my iPhone by bluetooth 2.0 to the car stereo. In 7.1.1, when turn-by-turn driving directions from Apple Maps are presented (without music playing) they are cut off after the length measurement. However, when music is playing on the iPhone at the same time as the directions are spoken, no problem.

I have that exact same issue with my 2012 Mazda3. It's really strange. If I plug the iPhone directly into the analog aux input, then the turn-by-turn instructions work just fine. This same issue affects games and sound effects from other non-audio apps when the sound is played through the speakers via Bluetooth -- it cuts out if some continuously streaming audio source is not playing.

I didn't notice it until the 7.1 update, but it might have occurred earlier. I have music playing on Bluetooth most of the time, so I never noticed anything until I turned off the music a couple of times and the turn-by-turn directions started cutting out.

Right. It's probably explained by the reduced virility of electrons coming from the iPhone's battery as it ages, anyway. Not necessarily anything to do with the OS.

All okay. iPhone 5, iPad 4, iPad Air: 5 min. iPhone 4: 20 min for the 7.1.2 update (like it was with 7.1.1).







No need for a jailbreak. There is an app in the App Store called Weblock. Works like a charm in WiFis. I have it on all devices since some months and it's AAA. Works system-wide (apps, browsers, YouTube…). You can add white lists and black lists (you'll have to add Apples iAd manually that's the only thing to do). Look for it in iTunes. Legit and proven since over one year.

As you said works fine over wifi.
But it doesn't work without wifi wich doesn't help since 90% of the time when i visit websites it's someplace where i don't have wifi.

Also as i said there are a tons of other reasons why i jailbreak i just named a few.

In 7.1.1, when turn-by-turn driving directions from Apple Maps are presented (without music playing) they are cut off after the length measurement. However, when music is playing on the iPhone at the same time as the directions are spoken, no problem.

For example:

(music is playing over car stereo via bluetooth 2.0) "In a quarter of a mile turn right at such-and-such road."

vs

(no music or music is paused) "In a quarter of a mile ..... *cuts out* ..."

If I switch the audio destination to be the iPhone vs Bluetooth, everything is fine, no interrupted directions.

This didn't happen in earlier versions of iOS 7. It's easy enough to play some music, toggle HFP prompts, or use iPhone's internal speaker. But, I will be interested if this problem is resolved -- seems like its a bug specific to 7.1.1

I've had this bug appear too, starting with 7.1 (and also now with 7.1.1). I wonder if it's fixed in 7.1.2.

Well, for me at least 7.1.2 does not resolve this bug. I suppose, however, it's good to know that I am not the only one with the problem. I wonder if it is Mazda radios only? Obviously, I don't have any other car or car radio to try it on.

I was excited to hear that Mazda has picked up CarPlay support for new models. Of course, I'm more anxious to see aftermarket CarPlay support. That said, I'll certainly at least take a look at whatever new model Mazda includes CarPlay.
 
Upgraded and Jailbroken with Pangu

iPhone 5 and iPad Air. Pangu worked as advertised.

Reason to jailbreak? adblocking, its just about the only tweak I do. Add Apple File Conduit 2 from Cydia, plug in to usb, start fun box on mac, install custom hosts file, no ads anywhere, in any app. Nirvana. Highly recommended. Save your sanity and bandwidth.

And besides, if you don't have root, you don't own the device.

No, mine's a Mitsubishi. I've now resorted to using Google Maps in the interim (unless I'm actually listening to music or something else) until this bug is solved.
