Apple Releases iOS 8.1.3 With Bug Fixes, Storage Size Reduction

[Mike MA]

Well, given how some people on these forums are, one never can tell...!

This one actually was quite good

 

[SMIDG3T]

Update 10:38 AM: iOS 8.1.3 does not fix the recently publicized "GMT bug," which causes calendar syncing issues and time zone confusion for some affected iOS users.

Yes, because Apple just recently found out about it! It was last Friday, so it's been four days. It was too late to add it as they'd need to carry out their testing procedures again. It'll be fixed in the next update.

How's our mail echo sound doing?

 

[iPro97]

Anybody know if it fixed the iPad Air 2 popping noise?

 

[icsd08063]

Has anyone with an iPad mini 2 updated yet?
Any impressions?

Things I would like to see resolved would be:

Safari crashes periodically. Not a big issue though.
Multitouch gestures not working many times.
Battery life. I have that kind of impression that with 8.1/8.1.2 battery life was slightly beetr than 8.1.3

Well......not exactly. More like 4 months not 4 days. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6548616

With rotation lock off
Go from portrait to landscape to portrait.
Crashes safari, tweetbot and likely more.

Battery drain from earlier versions of iOS 8 remains

Just a quick notice, that extensive battery drain problem from earlier versions of iOS 8 was not fixed. Will wait for a day to confirm, but it seems that nothing changes, still sucks.

Apple, shame on you, the biggest issues are not addressed.

iPad mini 2 working well

Has anyone with an iPad mini 2 updated yet?
Any impressions?

Things I would like to see resolved would be:

Multitouch gestures not working many times.

It has only been installed for about an hour, but everything seems to be working well. The only issue I was having with 8.1.2 was multitouch gestures not working consistently and so far that seems to be fixed.

Do iPhoto events show up in order that I have them in iPhoto? Or is it still a random mess?

iOS 8 has been a **** show ever since release. I'm still having orientation issues. I'm still getting music skips when switching between apps. If I have 3rd party keyboard has my first choice, when i replay from the lockscreen, no keyboard shows up. Etc. etc.

I'll give it to tomorrow to see if the complaints are rolling in.

Oh, well it's come to light within the last four days.

Still present.

How's the rotation bug that users have had (me too) since purchasing the 6?
Is it permanently fixed yet?

I.E. screen won't rotate to landscape when opening Maps, or Messages, or Mail.

thx.

Seems fine here on mine.

it also seems that continuity and airdrop are finally working as advertised. They are both super fast to respond here now.

Continuity works fine for me now. Airdrop is still hit & miss. sometimes things show up, sometimes they don't. Using Mabook Air 2013, iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6.

As with every update, you need a couple of battery cycles for the usage to stabilize....so patience please.

Patience on here! lol.

What about media files from my messages app disapearing? Years of photos, that were stored in the conversation are gone, simply replaced by giant question marks.

Apples QC has seriously gone down hill. Long live 10.6.8, and iOS6

If they were important, did you not think to save them?! I'd never leave any important media in a message....

Yeah airdrop has been a headache. They haven't fixed the closing Icloud tabs bug. Sort of part of continuity and that is an obvious bug I would have thought was at the top of the to fix list.

iCloud closing tabs work on mine.

Updating now, but hoping to see these fixes:

• VIP email notifications bug (getting notifications for emails not from those in my VIP list)
• WiFi (when I join my partner's network, all devices slow to a crawl. When I hop off, it goes back to normal.)
• Overall more stability.

Have you got notifications on for mail? Within accounts in the Mail section? that might be why you're getting notifications from those not in the list.

This fixed my Apple TV streaming issues! Finally!

Gonna test some more later.

Same here!

Over 200MB, for a x.x.1 update this better fix a lot of crap.

Wow, self entitled much?

I had that issue once. Drove me nuts. Finally I restored to factory settings and reloaded all my apps one by one and it fixed the problem. It might not be an OS problem but data corruption which OS updates won't fix. If all else fails, try that.

Thank you, did that and many more attempt to fix this issue, nothing helps, and this is definitely iOS8 issue.
Anyway, you are right, this totally drives me nuts

Yup was hoping this would be fixed.

 

[allanfries]

Both devices updated and all is well thus far!

 

[Noiseboy]

I rarely do OTA updates as my storage in the phone is very low now but it usually goes pretty quickly when connected to my computer. However, this update is an enormous 1.74 gigs and seems to want to take forever to download.

 

[midwestfisherma]

Really want to install but I swear 8.1.1 is working great and battery is awesome and since I cannot go back I am soooooo hesitant.

Come on...do it! Live on the edge!

 

[hagar]

Hope safari is usable again. I'm tired of the tabs that keep reloading all the time.

 

[crashoverride77]

iCloud closing tabs work on mine.

Really? When I press the delete button nothing happens on mine. It worked with 8.0 but got introduced along the lines of 8.1.
Any suggestions what could possible cause this since yours tab closing works?

 

[Zelmung]

3rd party keyboard improvements or GTFO.

Apparently Apple is not aware of any 3rd party keyboard issues. I submitted a ticket and they said they needed more informatons and logs as this problem is not commonly seen. I recommend you all to report the keyboard issues so Apple can identify a consistent problem.

I don't have that issue with my 6 Plus.

 

[daniesy]

No more jailbreak. Apple fixed the vulnerabilities in iOS 8.1.3. This sucks, i really needed the jailbreak to disable VOIP in Facebook.

the problem I guess is that many dont use 3rd party keyboards. I dont. I'm just used to the standard one.

I was hoping they'd fix the bug in iOS iCloud Tabs when after you swipe to delete a safari page open on another device that they linger until you relaunch the app. It was working pre iOS 8.1 so hopefully 8.2 will fix it
