Should i update my iphone 4s ios 7.1.2 to 8.1
im using iphone 4s, ios 7.1.2
after reading all the reviews of ios 8, im scared to update to ios 8.1
to be honest right now i wont able to effort a 5s.
so if i update it , n it lags like iphone 4 when it was updated to ios 7, then i dont wann update... because i dont like using a laggy phone.
so guys please help me out...
I will share my experience,
I'm loving the change to 8.1 from 6.3.1, it is much faster and cleaner in look. Now for a fuller disclosure:
this is the first iPhone (a 4s) and I've only had it for a week before I updated to 8.1, aaanndd, it was just reset as new so it was as clean as could be for it's age. I have no issues to report, wait, I did have it "hang" when I updated. It went thru the download and started the install and then the bar stopped for several hours near the end and I though I just created a brick, and no it turns out I didn't. While reading all these posts I read about just (again this was after an unusually long time) shutting everything off, waiting for a short period (few minutes for me) rebooting. The phone said that it was updated and wanted to go thru the process to complete and activate as normal. Most all of my info was there.
That's my 2¢ worth...

Should I update my Iphone 4 ios from 6.1.2 to 7.0.6?
Hi, I've seen complaints from people with iphone 4's who updated to the ios 7 last year. I was wondering if these issues have been resolved and whether I should upgrade from IOS 6.1.2 to IOS 7.0.6?
There are complaints about every version of iOS related to every version of the iPhone.
Not updating due to complaints on a support forum is just silly.
There are no issues with iOS7 on the iPhone 4.
Update the device if you desire the most current functionality and security updates. -

No, that's not true, if your phone is officially unlocked. You have nothing to worry about.

My home button isn't working well so i went to my service provider to ask about the problem. They advised me to update my iPhone to iOS 5 but the problem is no matter what i do, there is always an error. What should I do?
If you are having Issues with downloading iOS 5....
Try temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software and try again...

i updated my iphone to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!
I upgraded my iPhone 4 last evening to iOS 6, the upgrade completed and the device was usable. Then in the morning I went to the device to check E-mail, Voice Messages, Test Messages, etc... and the phone was dead. I tried plugging the device into a charger (for a couple of hours) - still dead. Plugged into computer with iTunes, device not recognized or discovered, and iPhone was still dead... Took the iPhone into an Apple Store and the Technician looked it over for any visible signs of defect/malfunction, then performed various tasks to breathe life into the phone - nothing... His suggestion, at this point, was to replace the phone. He speculated that the iOS upgrade possibly corrupted the iPhone's charging firmware, and that this device was now a BRICK. Keep in mind that the phone and it's charging abilities were perfectly fine prior to the iOS Upgrade. I hate to go through the replacement hassle and the cost ($159.00) when the iOS upgrade caused the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. I have tried enable and disable restriction, connecting my phone to my laptop and sync from my computer and none of them is working. What should i do?
Often when this type of thing occurs with missing default apps it is due to a situation where you are unable to 'see' the apps. If you will go to your front display of your device go to settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen layout.
This reset allows for your apps that have for whatever reason been hidden in such an area as you arn't able to find them now to be returned to the area as which they were when you first had the device.
As far as the missing Apps that were purchased through the Apps Store if you will go to settings>itunes and Apps store and click where it reads about automatcally downloading apps clicking on the toggle switch AND clicking on the toggle switch which allows for cellular data to be enabled this then will effectively automatically download all apps to your device that was purchased from the App Store.
Good luck friend. -

I just updated my iPhone 4s iOS to iOS 8 and but can no longer find personal hotspot, How and where can I find it on my iPhone 4s.
Usually I share my internet with other device with ios7 but now that I have ios8 on my iPhone 4s I can no longer find the personal hotspot. How can I share internet with other device using ios8 on my iPhone 4s?
THanksSettings>Cellular>Personal Hotspot. The carrier has to support this for you. This is where you should find the setting to turn it on or off.

my problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications
I had a similar issue and I was told that my iTunes match was on.
I had to disable iTunes match on my iPhone.
Following which - after you plugged in your iPhone to iTunes, select your iPhone on iTunes menu. You should see a summary page of your iPhone where it provides options to update or restore. On the bottom there should be an option to select "sync only selected music/playlists". I can't remember the exact wording. Once that's been checked, select your iPhone's music tab and it should allow you to select the music playlists you want to sync. -
I updated my iphone to iOS 6.1.2 and now my iphone calander and macbook calendar no longer sync (they used to). How do I get them to sync again?
Why can't you update?
There should be nothing preventing the update from 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 or even from 5 directly to 7.
What happens when you try to update?
Have you tried to Update through a computer running the most up top date version of iTunes?
Tell us a little more about what is happening and we may be able to provide more specific answers. -

sync your phone to itunes, then it should say update available. I suggest doing a backup of your phone first prior to updating your phone.
