Apple Releases iOS 8.1.3 With Bug Fixes, Storage Size Reduction

zztype said:
8.1.3 installed on phone, but it now requires me to plug in to iTunes to complete the process -- and I am hours away from home!

Calling the phone sends me straight to voicemail. Cannot make outgoing calls. Cannot do anything until I get it home and plug it in to iTunes.

:mad:

Argh. +1. What's the point in OTA updates when it needs iTunes?

EDIT - and on connecting to iTunes, it's in a recovery mode and needs to be restored r updated via iTunes. iTunes is now downloading a 1.46GB update file - I *really* hope it doesn't force me to restore completely, don't want to lose my WhatsApp history etc. Argh again.

EDIT 2 - Updated via iTunes, no restore required. Phew.

playing youtube vids through safari is messed up after the update on my 6. I only get a resolution of 240p. Not Happy.

Anyone else?

A few hours in and it seems to have fixed quite a bit of the odd lag and other inconsistencies I experienxed.

I also get a much better Geekbench score than I did on 8.1.2

That is a measure of signal strength not throughout I am afraid. Alternatively it could be that it has been encoded on that site as limited to s certain resolution.

I just tried one within safari and it plays at full definition no problem.

What do you mean by this? Is the speed comparable to iOS 7?

Oh, no, no. lol
See, I'm the lonely kid in the playground that nobody talks to.
So to try and be "one of the guys", I joined in on the piling on of
iOS 8 updates, ever since Updategate, like "this is now worse/that doesn't work", etc.,
by saying the ultimate bad thing happened to me: the iOS 8.1.3 update melted my iPad Mini! lol

But to your point in thinking that I meant now with iOS 8.1.3, it runs so fast,
as with iOS 7, that it melted my iPad Mini, let me say this:
while not "slow" or laggy, per se, it just overall doesn't seem as fluid/snappy/*instant*
as iOS 7, or moreso iOS 6, was. All of those fancy-schmancy transitional animations
seem unnecessarily and distractadly tacked-on to pretty things up at the expense of overall performance.
 
I have to say both Air and 5S are running better than ever. Smooth, quick and good looking. Might be in my head but it just feels lovely to operate after an update. Like a new device.
 
3rd party keyboards have been partially fixed. The stock keyboard still pops up here and there but it's not as bad as before. We're nearly there!
 
Woke up this morning to a new patch and updated without a second thought.

Working okay, I guess. Haven't really experienced any of the bugs the patch purports to fix, so I am not really experiencing any improvement that I can feel.
 
770 mb over iTunes

I usually does these updates via iTunes. My 5S has just over 1gb of space on it but the update wouldn't work because it requires "770 mb of free space" on the phone for it to work? Doing it OTA now and it's progressing nicely and only needs 234 mb (ish) of space.

iPad Air worked via iTunes though that has about 9gb of free space on it. No issues with the Air so far
 
Issues with sound?

Anyone having issue with speaker volume being very low even when the volume is full bore? GF 5S is doing this and it was just replaced under warranty a week or 2 ago.
 
Installed it on a 64GB iPad 2 with no issues. It seemed to fix an issue on the photo slide show. Since iOS 8 was released, when I would run slide show from the pictures app, it would crash after 5 mintutes. This is no longer the case so I'm happy. I can now show off all my trip photos on the iPad without having to manually change them.
 
For as powerful as the new iPad Air 2 is, Safari is still a piece of crap on it. I'm getting really annoyed with the black delayed display scrolling issue that always pops up after extended browsing sessions.

iOS8 introduced a bug where Bluetooth devices wouldn't connect because the Bluetooth cache would suddenly become corrupted. The only way to connect would be to empty the cache by restarting the iPhone.

This has been a frustrating problem for users of bluetooth speakers or other devices like August Smart Lock. The latter is very irritating because I'd approach my door and Bluetooth would be corrupted. The only way to get in my home would be to restart my iPhone or go get my hidden metal key.

It's not mentioned in the change log but I hope this was addressed. iOS8 has been the most buggy Apple OS that I've used. My brand new $1,100 iPhone 6 Plus runs slow, full of errors. It's embarrassing for Apple.

No Bluetooth Bug found over here. Bluetooth connection has been flawless with every version of iOS8 on my iPhone 5:

1.) Connects perfectly with the Nav system in my Hyundai Elantra Limited
2.) Connects perfectly with my Plantronics M165 Marque 2 Ultralight Wireless Bluetooth Headset
3.) Connects perfectly with my Acoustic Research Portable Wireless Bluetooth Outdoor Speaker (love this speaker).

Maybe your Smart Lock is the problem?
