ios8 affecting Iphone 4s wifi, overall performance. Sluggish, lagging, freezing.
Seeking support to undo update?

my 4S was also affected following the iOS 8.0 update, really slow. A restore from backup (done just before restoring) solved that.I don't think 8.0.2 will help, it's not meant to fix this, while a restore from backup will reinstate settings and data properly, getting you rid of unneeded junk left by the upgrade (temp stuff etc...).

Iphone 4 vs iPhone 4S wifi speeds

Just wondering if iPhone 4S is "more powerful" or has better wifi than the iPhone 4.
I have 4 and my wife has 4S. Using Speedtest.net app on both she regularly hits 34mbps download and 10mbps upload on the 4S whereas I usually get 14-18mbps download and 8-9mbps upload on my 4. Can't understand why.
AppleCare have said they should be similar speeds as both have the same wifi chip. Called local Apple store but couldn't speak to Genius. Whoever I spoke to said speeds should be similar on both and a Genius Bar appointment may be an idea.
Anyone else noticed something similar? Apple store is a fair distance and don't want to travel down to be told nothing is wrong.
Appreciate any advise.

Similar yes, but the 4S has an "improved" antenna design to address the "Antennagate" issues with the iPhone 4 and also has a faster processor. Both of these will impact performance. The former will affect speed both on Wi-Fi and Cellular data, the later will affect overall performance.

IPhone 4S Poor Battery Performance SOLVED!!

iPhone 4S Poor Battery Performance SOLVED!!
I found the issue with the iPhone 4S battery performance.
I bought 2 iPhone 4S models on the first day. One for my wife and one for me. The strange thing was that mine would kill the battery in 4-6 hours and ran VERY WARM to the touch. My wife's phone worked great. It was cold to the touch. She would forget to charge it at night... and the battery performance was great... even better than our prior 3GS models.
What was the difference? I have my phone connected to Exchange for my corporate email. But exchange is not exactly the problem. The issue is in Notification Center. For some reason, I had hundreds of calendar reminders that kept refreshing on notification center. Furthermore, the reminders would flicker between the time remaining and the start time for the event at such a fast rate that it could not be read... (clearly a bug)
What is the solution? Go to Settings>Notifications>Calendar and disable Notification Center. You can still have the "alert style" set to Banners, or Alerts and you will still receive notices about your events, but it will not BUILD a summary in the Notification Center drop down screen. This is where the BUG exists. [Oddly, this does not affect my iPad 2, but is an issue for iOS 5 on the iPhone (different builds, maybe?)]
So, it appears that Notification Center has an endless loop in collecting the calendar events from Exchange and this is burning up our 4S batteries. Once you stop the madness from Notification Center, your iPhone 4S will perform as advertised.
Enjoy!

Ios8 per Iphone 4S

Ho aggiornato il mio iphone 4S con ios8.0.2 alcune app non funzionano il telefonino gira molto lento e perfino alcune App aggiornate con l'ultimo Software ios8.0.2 non girano bene è lentissimo.
Ringrazio anticipatamente per chi mi da qualche consiglio

Start with this article. It specifically addresses battery drain, but some of the suggestions may help with overall performance as well.

Iphone 5 wifi not stable/wifi range issues

I know there are loads of discussions but every discussion that I went through seemed without any solution.
I have just bought a new iphone 5 considering that my iphone 4 broke down. With the iphone 4 I have never had any wifi instability even on the latest ios 6.1.4
I noticed that when I'm near my home router wifi stability is better. My home router has the 5ghz signal too. When I'm near another 2.4ghz router, and with near I mean 1.5 metres the wifi signal keeps changing from 2 to 3. I noticed that it seems to have a shorter range as well.
Is there something that can be done? Now I'm feeling more of an idiot. I should have waited for the new iphone but couldn't wait and I didn't know that the internet is filled to the brim with iphone 5 wifi issues.
PLEASE HELP
PS I did a hard reset, removed a plastic cover but none of this helped.

Hey MGV1,
Thanks for the question and detailed information. There are definitely a lot of factors that come into play when troubleshooting Wi-Fi signal strength, one of which is interference:

iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
All in all, there are a bunch of factors that can impact network performance and range (2.4GHz vs. 5GHz, standards like 802.11n vs. 802.11ac). It may be best to consult with your ISP or network administrator, or look into extending the range of your network:

My iPhone's wifi turned off and it won't let me turn it back on. What can I do? I've tried turning it off and on, but still nothing.

My iPhone's wifi is grey and won't allow me to slide it into the on position. What do I need to try?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings

Does upgrading from previous iPhone affect iPhone 6 Plus battery

I started with an iPhone 3G when it launched, then upgraded to an iPhone 4S shortly after it launched. Fast forward to present time, I recently upgraded to an iPhone 6 plus and am wondering does the legacy of data from the previous phones affect the newer phone's performance. The Usage/standby statistics are useless. They are always identicle no matter how long I lay the phone down. For example its telling me I've been using it for 4 hours and 8 minutes, and the Standby is also 4 hours and 8 minutes. If you total that up, its more time than I've even been awake for today so far. Secondly I haven't even used the device for 4 hours cumulatively let alone 1 hour. Restarting the phone, or restoring from back up doesn't seem to help.
When I use the phone first thing in the morning and unplug it I've seen a 10% drop at times when simply going on Instagram or flipboard for a 5 to 10 minutes.
Since getting the phone I have seen mild improvement in battery life over my 4S, but am not seeing the stellar battery life performance and this Phone is supposedly NEW, from the Apple Store I walked in and bought it from. Any thoughts, or suggestions? Is it the hardware? Does the battery need to be tested?
PS: At the end of me writing this post, Usage 4 hours, 27 minutes... Standby 4 Hours, 27 minutes. SMH

So for a day it seemed to work fine, but in the morning I picked up my 6 Plus unplugged it and noticed as time went by the problem of identical Usage and Standby was present. This time I only reset Network Settings the Usage and Standby were working properly again. Still trying to figure out what the culprit is. How common is this problem and is Apple aware of it and will truly do something about it?
It's not common, but it has happened occasionally for 7 1/2 years with every model iPhone and every version of iOS. It is an app problem, where an app misbehaves or gets stuck sending or attempting to send and failing. There are various tricks to "unstick" it, and resetting network settings sometimes works as it kills all data requests.

List View in ios8 on iPhone only shows 1 year

List view in ios8 on iPhone only shows 1 year. Earlier events are there, and you can see them in other views, but not in List View. Any ideas?

OK, I solved it. Here is the solution if you have precisely the problem I had.
1. On the iOS device: delete the iCloud account.
2. Go to the Apple ID website and make sure the ONLY email there is the me.com email and that it is set as primary. If you Mac.com email is listed as a secondary email THIS will cause the problem. So delete the Mac.com email.
3. Log back in to iCloud on the iOS device.
Only you wanted to use the Mac.com address and not the me.com one, you could follow the above instructions just swapping me and Mac.

Upload multiple files to iphone via wifi - completely freeze

Hi,
I upload files to iphone via wifi and air sharing app a lot. Just connect with finder and drag&drop files one at a time and everything is fine, but when you select more files and try to copy them to iphone together Leopard completely freeze. Totally. You cannot force quit finder, cannot run activity monitor, cannot kill finder in terminal or even restart the computer. Just shut down with holding the power button...
What's wrong? :/
(sorry for english;)

when i had around 50 reports to move from local to server , best idea is to a ) place all your reports in C:\..\My Documents\PC_NW\..domain1..\..username..\AppInfo\..appsetname..\..application..\eExcel\Reports (local folder )
b) open BPC excel -> etools-> Save Dynamic templates -> reports
c) Select Local folder select all the files you want to copy ,and right click copy
d) Select Company folder paste files

How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID. Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them. We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

Have her create a new ID.   Here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

Can i text international from one iphone to another iphone over wifi with other friends who will be with us overseas?

can i text international from one iphone to another iphone over wifi with other friends that have iPhones

Yes, if you are provisioned by your carrier to do so. IF both phones are iphones with IOS 5.0 or higher then you can use imessage.

How do i connect both my ipad and iphone to wifi at the same time. i can one or the other connected but not both?, how do i connect both my ipad and iphone to wifi at the same time. i can one or the other connected but not both?

ive just moved out and have just been connected to talk talk broadband today. Both my ipad mini and iphone are saying they are connected to wifi but only my iphone will connect to online services where my ipad mini won't. But if i disconnect my iphone from wifi then my ipad will work online and then when trying to connect my iphone back to wifi that won't work with online services. is this because they are both using the same apple account? though when i was living at home my mum had sky router and i was able to connect both devices with no problem. is there anyway of connecting both devices so they work online at the same time??

There is absolutely no reason why they should not bothe be able to connect to your WiFi network. The easiest place to start would be to reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. I would also restart both the iPad and the iPhone.

How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?

How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?
It works nicely over home wifi, but for example, i am sitting in my car, phone is in my pocket and I'm using the iPad, call comes in and i don't want to start digging for my phone.
Is there any way?
devices:
iPad mini cellular (no SIM card at the moment)
iPhone 5S
Thanks!

well yes, but it basically makes wifi for the other devices, it basically mimics wifi.
as i get from your answer, it is not possible?
it would be common sense to make it work this way also. directly from device to device. no bounce between WiFi router
Then again, common sense is not that common these days...

I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID. Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand. Can I fix this problem?

I have my daughters Ipod, my iphone, my wife's Iphone and Ipad on the one Apple ID. Since the latest update we are receiving Imessages from our daughter's Ipod with my wife's caller ID on the one message strand.
Is it possible to differentiate between all the devices?Can I fix this problem?

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
