Widgets on my homescreens freeze. they go blank and don't update for a while. Tapping them does nothing.
Today I’m having issues with the battery on my 17 pro max. Only 4h30m screen time and battery is down to 30%. Very awkward. I tried restarting - nothing. Analytics is disabled. 🤡
How can I stop using an app I don't generally use? I use iTunes 90% of the time, but I've tried formatting with both apps, and both iTunes and Apple Device Manager deleted my eSIM when I restored with them. It's not a matter of stopping using one app or the other; the main issue, which is the eSIM deletion, was that both apps deleted it. Now, Apple has created a section on their website, dated November 12th, specifying that the eSIM isn't deleted, but it only mentions the Apple Device Manager app. I understand that if I try to restore again, I should try with that app since it's the one Apple itself indicates should be used, even though I'll continue using iTunes for my backups and syncing.
I always follow the steps you outlined to restore my SIM, and I lost my eSIM. That's why I think there's something else going on, maybe at the carrier level or something, that influences whether it gets erased or not.
In this beta version, the screen doesn't turn off when I'm on a call. I'm on a call with it in my pocket, and I can feel it pressing keys. Once, when I took it out, it was on the camera, and I have the shortcut disabled; I don't know how it accessed it. I tested it now, and indeed, even when covering the sensors, the screen doesn't lock or prevent it from turning on during a call. When not on a call, it seems to work correctly.
I don't understand anything. I restarted my phone; I hadn't done it since the update. When it booted up and was on the screen asking for the SIM card PIN and phone access, I forced a restart. To my surprise, when it booted up, both SIM cards were entered with the PINs. What a crazy beta!
My battery life has been poor on this beta. 6h30min of screen time and 4h of idle time. I was expecting more from my 17PM…
The only way I see someone “losing” an eSIM to a reset is if IMEI somehow gets reset (unlikely) or it’s not properly registered with the carrier.
During boot the phone reaches out to the network, advertising the IMEI and syncing service info to establish connectivity. No different than what a physical SIM provides.
If this eSIM “loss” has occurred multiple times on the same device then perhaps the device is faulty. If multiple devices I’d check with the carrier to ensure the IMEI is getting registered properly.
Yeah I'm having this issue as well on my 17 Pro, tapping the Weather widget does nothing. Have to tap it a few times on different spots.
I confirm. I have this problem with weather widgets, and not just the default weather app. I rolled back to B2, and everything is fine, including the battery life.
With Spain carriers a reset deletes the eSIM, for many carriers, so it’s not unlikely, is the carrier policy.
