No, it doesn't. We can hope Apple will change that at some point, but so far it's been that way since the beginning basically, and is still the reality today.
That seems a little drastic...I'd restart and if it's still bad, backup and restore.
I've restarted both devices, disabled wifi, hotspot, bluetooth to no avail. Strangely, it would occasionally connect on bluetooth but drop frequently. WiFi hotspot said "out of range".
I was able to get hotspot working again by reseting the network preferences on the iPhone and re-pairing the device.
Still no luck on safari, but can download a different browser.
I haven't had problems with iOS update in many years... but a long time back they had to replace the phone. Already appointments are 24 hours away, so I wanted to schedule something. I'll keep working on it this evening -backup/restore. Hopefully that works and I can cancel the appointment.
Anyone else seeing the safari hanging on address bar text entry? I have disabled all the search ahead features and that has not helped.
Damn Another app that can't be deleted. And if you go to Settings, it won't even list the app along with all the others. So they don't want you to see the size of the app. Damn you, Cook.
Bloatware on an iPhone?? Surely not.☺️
Happy to report AirDrop still doesn't work worth a crap between my iPad Air and my MacBook. If you are in the AirDrop folder on the MacBook the iPad shows up there, but the MacBook won't show up on the iPad until you leave the AirDrop folder in Finder and come back to it, then go through reselecting and sending the document (Numbers doc in this case) on the iPad.
Oh well.
Oh well.
Further to that question I'd like to know if the 4S update to iOS 8.2 gets the iWatch software installed by default?
(even though it shouldn't as it does not support the iWatch anyway)
So far whatever's mentioned in release notes, including security fixes basically. In the meantime also keeping an eye on https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1853474/ for anything else that someone might come across.
iOS8 has already way slowed down my iPhone 5 with all the bugs and 8.2 doesn't seem to do anything about it, plus adding an icon that i can't use, looks like it's time to stop with all the craziness and just leave it alone unless someone on here with an iPhone 5 can prove me wrong.
Seems like there are various optimization/stability changes and bug fixes included, in addition to security fixes. So there's that too.
I was most concerned about this too, especially for my iPhone 5 which has shown some issues with decreased speed and performance after iOS 8 was first released. I just updated my iPhone 5 from iOS 8.1.3 to iOS 8.2 and have noticed an improvement in overall speed and performance (no decrease in speed/performance at all).
Thanks, good to know. The only thing I'm really looking forward to will be dealing with the Photos app syncing in cloud, maybe that's 8.3?
Boy, that's an ugly Apple Watch icon. Why couldn't that be option from the App Store?
Aw well, it when in myfolder.
The the apple watch edition icon is $5199.
Seems like quite a few fixes and improvements were mentioned in the release notes, so clearly that's not the case.
