IOS 6 issues - battery, wifi and cursor

Hopefully Apple development team members read these forums and can add a fix to the new iOS updates.
I'm having an issue with battery life on iPhone 5 and iPad 3.
On Tuesday I had 100% at 8am, two calls and a couple of iMessage throughout the day and a totally flat phone battery by 8pm. iPad battery is decreasing at an unreasonably fast rate.
I have disabled a lot of services which I know would run in the background, but doesn't seem like a poor fix? What's the pint in having these options if it is to the detriment of the device they were built for.
There are a number of other issues I would like to raise, notably last night I received an iMessage from a person and then two as part of a group iMessage. I read the messages in the two separate conversations and my message icon still had 3 new messages. Back to the messages app and I have the two conversations still showing as unread even though I have read all the new messages. Then it started to get weird. I had no text on the screen but could continue scrolling down infinitely with time and date stamps on the blue back ground.
I am also frequently losing the cursor and magnifier when trying to edit text I am writing. It's mainly happens using the mail app. These things will probably be reported elsewhere and fixed soon. Just glitches I know, nothing too major.
I am also being signed out of iCloud on my ipad. I have to sign in every so often - last night I sent a message from iPad and when I went to send another (about 1 hour later) I had to sign in again! Frustrating.
Both my devices have horribly slow wifi connections since upgrading to iOS 6 ( I have tried changing the wifi settings - each device has its own ip now and the dns changes from 8.8.8.8.8 to 8.8.4.4 to 208.67.222.222 to try and speed things up ). Please do something about this. I don't think it's fair to have to change settings constantly just to get a decent connection.
Also, it seems that my device must be on the whole time I'm updating apps. I am constantly getting messages that an app couldn't be updated and I have to retry. It only happens when I update all and then lock the device. Updates used to run in the background. That just makes sense!
Maps-please add public transport to your map, or allow google maps to create an app. I understand apple maps is new but the lack of public transport info is like losing an arm.
Dictionary. It seems to be dumber and getting worse!! The predictive text options are absolutely laughable at times!! (Can satin) this word was suggested after a minor misspelling of conversation!!! I remember the AI was a lot more intelligent in iOS 4 and maybe even early 5.
iCloud. Lately my apps and photos aren't synching to my other device (iPad to iPhone and vice versa). It used to be simultaneous and now I have to install the app to both devices myself. The photos - it just seems to be random now. I got photos added to my other device's photo stream two days later and I was connected to wifi the whole time!
Hopefully others have these (some or all) issues and my email is enough to get them listed as urgent updates!
Thanks for reading guys.

I have the same problem. The work around I ended up using is turning Cellular Data off. As soon as that is shut down then it will load the terms of service page. I ran into the problem when I updated to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and when I moved to the iPhone 5 I had the same problem. I turn off the cellular data anytime I try to connect to a proxy wifi system and then when I leave the network turn the cellular data back on, it's a bit easier than doing full restarts.

My IPAD2 failed to download ios 8 via wifi and itunes

I tried to download IOS 8 via wifi and I got an error message that the download failed. I tried to download via ITunes and got the error message network failure. I did this numerous times both ways. My Iphone 5S downloaded fine via wifi.

I have similar problem on an iPad. I have FIOS with 83 meg download speeds. According to apple my download will take 32 hours. They are having a problem and are not addressing it. This is the third day I have been getting this problem. How do we get apple to tell us what is going on. I am willing to cooperate but need to know what to do.

Focus issue: why Tab and cursor are not in sync?

Hi, All:
I have a MyTextArea which is a subclass of JTextArea. In processComponentKeyEvent, transferFocus() is called on Tab key. The panel has some MyTextArea's and other GUI components. Here is the problem that is bothering me now:
The cursor does not move with tab, but if you begin to type, it's the next field which accepts the input. For example, the cursor blinks at field 1 (a MyTextArea) when the application is brought up, the tab key is pressed, the cursor is still blinking at field 1, but if I type, field 2 displays the content.
Not only the tap does not move the cursor, neither a mouse click will do.
But if I switch applications, i.e., activate another program and then come back to my application, the cursor then can be moved by tabbing or mouse clicking!
If anyone has any thoughts on this issue, please let me know.
Many thanks in advance!

Hey alon abraham,
I found an article that specifically mentions audio being out of sync with the image on-screen for Windows 7 computers. There are a few troubleshooting steps that don't look like they apply to your situation, but I'd read through the whole article because many of them are applicable:

You are in Recovery Mode.
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

IPhone 6/iOS 8 email issues with wifi connection

Hi
I have just upgraded from an iPhone 4 (iOS 7) to an iPhone 6 (iOS 8) and am having an issue with my pop email account. I used my iPhone 4 backup to set up new iPhone, so all the settings were as they were in my old phone. I have two email accounts, one is an IMAP account and the other is a POP account (which is my main email), I have no problems connecting to the server and downloading emails when connected via 4G (its super fast), but when I am connected via wifi, the POP account takes ages to connect to the server and check for emails (stuck on checking for email). I can speed up the process by closing mail app completely and reopening, then it checks and downloads really quickly (IMAP account has no problems), but this is frankly a pain.
I have spent ages on the phone with Apple support, who have got me to delete my POP email account twice, reset network settings, reset the phone using on/off button and home button, all to no avail. They are intent on telling me it's my email service providers fault, but as I pointed out there is no issue on 4G and my old iPhone (using iOS 7) on wifi has no issues, so can't be email provider. I have also tried using Apple's wifi in store to rule out router issue and the problem happened there too.
Have now run out of suggestions and options. I'm not sure if it's the phone itself, either a hardware or software issue (Apple support think not). Someone told me that it could be the wifi on my phone blocking the connection to the server. I have an appointment booked at the genius brand they have suggested wiping the phone and setting up as a new phone to see if the problem occurs, but this seems a bit drastic and I would lose all messages etc. Any help would be appreciated.

I have solved the issue! I tried my pop account on other devices with iOS 8 and the same thing happened, so I deduced that the issue is a glitch in iOS 8 with wifi and pop accounts. I managed to get hold of the IMAP settings for my email provider and all seems to be well. Happy days!

I am facing problem with wifi and cellular after update Apple iOS 8.0.2

How can we resolve the issue with wifi and cellular reception after update the iOS 8.2 on iPhone 5s 32 GB

Try some basic troubleshooting:

Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Since updating to iOS 7.1, having issues with safari and wi-fi...

Since upgrading to iOS 7.1, I have experienced issues with wifi and safari. Many websites will not load and I receive the message that "Safari cannot open the page as the server cannot be found". This only happens with the iPad (iPhone 5 is fine), and the same problems do not exist when using 3G (cellular). I have tried a reset, renewing the lease, forgetting the network, rebooting, resetting the modem... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My iPod touch froze while updating to iOS 6 over wifi, what do i do?

I started updating my ipod to iOS 6 over wifi, and it just froze part of the way in to the update, and I am unable to connect to my iTunes account right now.

Looks like you need to put your device into DFU mode:
To put the device in DFU mode, connect the device to iTunes and hold both the power button and the home button down, after 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed until it goes into DFU mode. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
I hope that helps.

Solved!

Sorry to hear that you have issues with WiFi and bluetooth
I'm afraid this sounds like it may be a hardware issue in your phone but i recommend that you first try to reinstall the phones software using PC Companion but please note that this will reset your phone and delete all your data.
If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, please contact your local support team.

After iOS 8 update wifi is so slow and battery life is much worse

After installing iOS8 on my 5s the wifi and 3G has slowed remarkably down. The facebook app now doesn't refresh unless I turn the phone off and on again and safari takes an age to load it's pages. Also the battery life is even worse than before. I used the maps yesterday for 1.5 hours for a trip and it took me from full battery down to 10% in that time. This is really irritating me now, will it be fixed?

Like you I have a 4S running on iOS 8, and since the upgrade to 8 my battery drains like crazy. I'm not experiencing the wifi issues that some of the other posters are having, but the rapid battery drain seems to be a common issue. I keep hoping Apple will address this with their updates for iOS 8, but it always seems to be overlooked.

I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

I am facing wifi and mobile 2G signal issue after upgrading to IOS 6 from IOS 5 in IPhone 3GS. The mobile carrier signal as well as WIFI suddenly drops zero and are then restored automatically. Sometimes i cannot conenct to WIFI even standing infront of WIFI router. Please help, restoring setting even didn't helped.

Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
3. Do a soft and hard reset.
4. Reset network settings.
5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)

After the recent update of iOS 7.0.6 my phone is having issues with wifi connectivity. It gets disconnected most of the time. I went through support page and done with "Reset Network settings" too but it doesn't help. It is very toublesome while watching videos, sending pics, chatting and so on. Please advise.
It works fine in LTE network. The problem is with WIFI only.
Thank you.

Since upgrading to 8.1 not connecting to WiFi and battery is going dead after 2-3 hours

Unfortunately, like most people I upgraded my iPhone 5 to the IOS 8.1. Now I cannot connect to WIFI and my battery is draining after 2 - 3 hours. I have deleted most of my apps but still no luck. What a disaster. Samsung is looking better and better, can anyone help before I take drastic measures and trade this phone in.

okay i managed to fix the issue with the graphics on archeage, everything no longer appears multiplied in different colors.
but i am still having the pixle issue.
But now i have also discovered a new problem and thought it wouldn't hurt to post it here also.
My mouse has become supper sensitive when playing my games, one little touch when trying to rotate the screen sends it into a frenzy and i end up looking at the sky or my characters feet. i didn't notice this before as i didn't even attempt to move with
the multiple color images everywhere. Also when holding down my screen rotation button it continues to rotate in that direction even though i am no longer moving the mouse that way.
I did notice that there was a patch for mouse issues so i tried to install it but it said i didn't have the requirements for it, so i assume it was included with the 8.1 update.
I have tried adjusting the settings in the games for mouse sensitivity, and it does not effect it, i even tried to adjust the computers but could not find the setting for what i was after. The mouse rotation button is holding the left or right mouse button
down and moving the cursor in the direction you want it to move. i couldn't see anything there that can help with that as the cursor speed is fine, its only happens when i try to rotate the screen.
Any help on this and my pixle issue would be greatly appreciated!

Poor battery life and WiFi connectivity on iPhone 5s

I have bought a new iPhone 5s 16GB running iOS 8.1.2 3 days ago. The device that I have got has a poor battery life and WiFi connectivity. I have tried lots of methods given on the internet like turned off the auto-brightness, reset the phone to default settings.
Then contacted the Apple Care for battery issue. They asked for the diagnostics to check the problem. They said its happening because of the crash of inbuilt app Springboard asked me to try "Set up as new iPhone". Even after doing all these, I am still getting battery not more than 4 hours.
This is not expected from Apple. Such an awful experience on my first iPhone buying.

Where exactly did you buy this new 5S?
