iOS 8.1.3

[kazmac]

I wish I could revert to 8.1.1, the Yahoo email mess is even worse on 8.1.3. than it was on 1.2.

If my Yahoo email folders have more than 25 messages in them, those emails will not load. After almost 4 hours on Saturday with phone calls to Apple and trying to contact Yahoo, nothing was fixed. Apple tells me the Engineers will probably not work on it despite the complaints from many customers. A factory erase and install and deleting / readding the email account did nothing.

And to have use to Yahoo's email app on my phone is utterly ridiculous. Ironically, I have the exact same issue with Apple mail in Mavericks too.

I get that, but the bugs they mention are often quite trivial and the major ones are rarely alluded to.
Anyway, I have installed the update. Is it just me who is kinda paranoid with Apple updates these days? I almost expect them to be worse than the previous installment...

How r u feeling on 8.1.3

I'm 100% positive that 8.1.3 is more of a battery hog than 8.1.2, which itself drained more quickly than 8.1.1
I really wish that Apple could make a less buggy build of 8.1.1 because I got stupendous battery life with that one.#

I'm typing this on a 6+ with a clean install of 8.1.3
I have changed my settings to how they were but downloaded nothing. I haven't even moved the stock apps, everything is like out of the box and it's performing no better than it did with an OTA upgrade on top of an iCloud backup. Most disappointing.
One of the things I loved best about the 6+ was the battery life and I don't call scraping 10 hours of usage especially amazing. I got over 9 hours when my iPhone 5 waow r u feeling on 8.1.3

You are stressing too much over this.☺️
The battery percentage problem is inbuilt into iOS8. Until Apple fix the small bug, it will remain no matter how many restores etc you do.
Yes, I still have the problem.

Battery usage on 8.1.1, .2 and .3 is unchanged. If anything, .3 might be slightly better than 8.1.1. That's based on my two iPhones and two iPads.

That is sooo weird, and I have absolutely *no* idea why you are experiencing that. My battery life took a sizeable hit with 8.1.2 and an even worse hit with 8.1.3
Two extremely tedious clean installs without backup (yes, I tried twice) did nothing to improve on the OTA update. I'm now back on 8.1.2 and although it's worse than 8.1.1 for me, it absolutely slays 8.1.3

I find battery life worse in 8.1.3.

I go out for a run every night using the GPS to track and time my run, i always go out with a full charge.

On 8.1.2 when i got home i used to have about 92% left, on 8.1.3 i only have 83% left.

Also as soon as i used to approach my house it used to switch from cellular to wifi straight away, it would always be on wifi as soon as i took it out of my pocket, but now on 8.1.3 i doesn't switch to wifi until i have been in the house about a minute. As soon as i finish my run i update runkeeper.com, but now i find myself doing it over cellular rather than wifi.

Yeah I was just adding to your comment not necessarily saying you were wrong. I had stutter/delays every so often during UI navigatin on both my iPhone 6 and iPad air 2 since I believe 8.1.2. Maybe this was a isolated problem but 8.1.3 has fixed it and made my devices run buttery smooth again.
In regards to Safari the lag when switching/swipe to delete tabs (in tab mode) is also fixed with 8.1.3 and this was there since 8.0.

On iPad, the safari birds eye view swipe closing lag is the only lag that was fixed on iOS 8.1.3. All other lags that happens occasionally like animation for switching between apps, and closing apps are still there. Also a lot of times changing orientation is choppy. But then again, you have an iPad air 2, so your iPad doesn't have these lag, but still very powerful A7 iPads still lags on iOS 8.1.3.

I agree with you. I have read these forums going way back, a lot longer than I've been registered. I don't understand it either. The hardware is the same, the OS is the same, the apps are the same. The most obvious variables are system settings and which apps are actually installed. The range of different user experiences is amazing.

But here's something to think about. My two iPhones are basically identical - hardware, iOS, system settings, apps (with only one difference between the the installed apps on the two). Their battery life sometimes is very different, but it isn't consistent which will do better. Sometimes the Space Gray goes on a tear, sometimes the Gold one is the one that's chewing up its battery. On the whole, both do great, much better than my 5 and 5S did on 7.1.2, but they are not the same as each other, and they go back and forth in terms of which gets better battery life.

Battery life will always change and just now in COLD weather, any battery will discharge quicker which I think is a major contributing (hidden) factor from a lot of posts.
Think of how many hours your device is in the cold/outside and how it is being affected compared with the heat of spring/summer.

actually battery lasts more in cold than in warm situations.

After updating to ios 8.1.3 on my iphone 6 plus (OTA) , I noticed several glitches . First the zoom sign comes up even though I never clicked on zoom in the accessibility settings. I had to close the messages app several times and then do a reset of the phone. Then the keyboard started lagging and completely stopped working. I had to do a reset all settings . I am still not very happy with the phones performance because there is a clear keyboard lag now. When I use swiftkey when I swipe down from the home screen to get to search menu the keyboard still doesn't show up . I thought that this was one of the issues that was supposed to have been fixed on the update. I am not happy at all and feel that this update made things worse on my new 6 plus

Himhh maybe they just fixed it on the new devices. I definatly had the lag you described (switching apps etc) with 8.1.2 even on my air 2 and iPhone 6.
8.1.3 fixed that at least on my devices.

I just want to add my experience with battery life.

Initially after updating my iPhone 6 128gb to 8.1.3, my battery life fell drastically to 5 hours of use on less than 18 hours standby. When I was running 8.1.2, I was getting 6-7 hours usage and well over 24 hours of standby.

Of course I was upset, but I figured this is expected behavior with every update.

I did several battery re-calibrations which didn't seem to have any immediate effect, however in the last few days, I've been hitting 7-9 hours usage with 30-40 hours standby. Much better than the best I could get from 8.1.2

Hope your experience mirrors mine if you too have experienced bad battery life after updating to 8.1.3.

I don't know about you and your habits, but I can assure you that my iPhones don't get used at all when it's cold like it is here. Hands stay in gloves or pockets, phones stay in my shirt pocket, until I get inside where it's warm enough that my fingers won't crack off. Edit - I see you live in the UK. In general, our weather is a lot more extreme than yours. This morning it was several degrees below zero F here. Yesterday I think the high was around 14 degrees F.
