General iOS 8.1 Bug Fixes And Changes

How's the performance on the 4s?

Far far far better than 8.0.2, far than 8.2b2

On iPhone 5 turning on zoom in accessibility still turns on greyscale. If zoom is on phone has no color.

While in zoom mode, try triple tapping on the screen with three fingers, that should bring up some options and one should be for filters where a Grayscale option should be present, tap on that and hopefully that will disable it (and keep it like that).

Any other devices, how is the performance?

iPad 4

Still a definite delay selecting Wallpaper in Settings. Scrolling through Stills (wallpaper) is still very jerky.

Safari is still a real lug, so sticking with Mercury until Apple thinks it's important enough to have a functioning browser (performance wise).

No real performance updates that I can note at the moment, but this confirms what a few beta testers said about not expecting performance fixes with this release. Overall it still doesn't feel very polished. It feels a little better, but that may be placebo talking. To be truthful, it's disappointing that performance is poor. It shouldn't be this way on iPad4.

I can confirm this as well. Safari is a mess.

Maybe he's an internet exploder user.

You misspelled it.

What sites are you visiting? Safari has been performing beautifully for me.

So where is the new toggle to pick 2G and 3G for cell data on the iPhone 5? Mine hasn't changed.

Still waiting to hit 61% on battery and see if it jumps down to 59%. Or 31 to 29. Will report back.

Statusbar elements still show up in pictures zoomed in within the messages app.

Wasn't there something in the 8.1 beta regarding the Maps app and points of interest?

I think they added that functionality back in (because it seems like it was removed accidentally or intentionally before), but the carrier still has to support/enable it.

Wow! That worked, I owe you a beer. Thank you.

Where is the 2g 3G toggle that is supposed to be in this release??

It's back, right in the "Cellular" settings.

I've seen some people mention this (possibly a few previous posts from you) and after reading the thread at https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1801179/ I started to wonder if that might have been behind it. Seems like my suspicion was correct--glad to see that it fixed it for you.

Noticeable lag on my 5S with 8.1. 8.0.2 was better for me in terms of lag.

Working smoothly on 6. Camera roll back but they dumped Favorites folder. Liked that favorites feature.

Still not able to mirror Slow motion videos on Apple TV + Mirroring FaceTime became useless ... I hate Apple

Fixed: withings health mate app now syncs weight correctly with health app.
Wifi isn't locking up at work anymore: I always had to turn wifi off then on again to get larger downloads to proceed.

Nope, looked there, others don't have it either.

It's carrier specific i guess.

Airdrop broken in 8.1

Updated iPad 4 and iPhone 6 to 8.1. Macbook Air 2011 runs Yosemite. No Airdrop possible in any way between any 2 of these devices. Same wifi network, Bluetooth on on all 3 devices. Apple forums confirm I'm not alone... What a mess!!!!
