Slow WiFi on iOS 8? An app running in the background might be the problem

I've discovered a problem with Angry Birds Friends on my iPhone 6. When I am connected to my wifi, the app does not load. The log-in status bar gets about 3/4 of the way across but doesn't complete. If I hit the home button to "close" the app and try to do anything else on my iPhone that connects to the internet, they don't connect or the speed is REALLY slow. In fact, when I run a speedtest, my download speeds which are normally at about 23 MBPS drop down to a mere .5 MBPS. If I open the multitask bar and quit the app from there, my download speeds go back to normal. I have also verified the same behavior on my iPad Air. So it seems Angry Birds Friends is having some sort of wifi connectivity issue that impacts the wifi even when I'm not in it. It is possible that other apps might cause similar problems by running some sort of activity in the background that impacts wifi connectivity. I can consistently recreate this behavior with this app and contacted Apple support today to report it. In fact they put me in touch with a senior person and I provided them with the details. I'm waiting to hear back from him after he contacts their engineering team.

I have exactly the same problem with Angry Birds Friends, I have a two year old iPhone 5 running the latest iOS, the app loads perfectly when on the mobile network but freezes 3/4 of the way through loading on wifi, I have used other people's wifi and experience the same issue. I haven't reported it like you, but it is very weird.

I need help running a Pandora app in the background while on the web

I cannot run Pandora in the background while on the web

If you create a console app and place it in a executable jar file, the program will run invisably, even if you have println statements. This is cos the jar file does not launch a console window, so no output will be displayed.
Hope that is what you wanted

In ios6, youtube cannot be played in the background unlike in the ios5. Is there a way round this ? And also is it possible to downgrade back to ios 5.1??

You cannot downgrade your software. The only way you can downgrade your software is by jailbreaking your device (which can be risky if you dont know what your doing). Remember if you are downgrading by jailbreaking it will void your warranty with Apple - and you could run the risk of disabling your device.
However, im not too sure about the YouTube problem, my only guess is that since it is not an original app that comes with the iOS software.

The new operating system changed the background color of the photos app from black to white. How do I change the color back to black?

The new operating system (IOS 7) changed the background color of the Photos App (Camera Roll) from black to white. How do I change the color back to black?

You can't. Sorry.

You can tell apple that you'd like it and see if they respond....eventually. (you don't get responses from your feedback mails but they have been known to issue changes that users have asked for, such as the ability to mass delete apps)

Run script to background wo/ showing the pid and done status [SOLVED]

I have a little script I wrote that I execute in my ~/.zshrc that I would like to run in the background without printing out the pid of the background process and the done status. Is this possible?
Example:
<< ~/.zshrc is sourced and it runs this line>>
<< ~/bin/check& >>
[1] 13047
grtaysky@host ~ %
[1] + 13047 done ~/bin/check
What I want to see is:
<< ~/.zshrc is sourced and it runs this line>>
<< ~/bin/check& >>
grtaysky@host ~ %

I've just revised my "hush" function from the former to the latter here to get just this same result. I've been testing it and it works well (in bash):
#hush() {
# setsid $@ >/dev/null 2>&1 &
hush() {
(setsid $@ >/dev/null 2>&1 &) >/dev/null 2>&1
Hmm... why do you background it? Isn't `setsid "$@" > /dev/null 2>&1` enough?

Slow Wifi since iOS 8

Hi Folks,
since ever I've updated my iPhone 5s to iOS 8 (8.0.2 now) I experience slow Wifi connections and dropouts.
Sometimes it's just slow, sometimes pages or videos stop responding in the middle of the loading process
and I get no connections any more at all after that.
The only way to fix this, is restarting my iPhone.. It's very annoying.
What I've tried so far:
- reseted network settings
- disabled wlan networking
- check if it's really a problem with my phone, not my router or ISP (it isn't)
Is there anything else that i could do to fix this problem?
Thanks for any help in advance..

Thank you for posting, I have the exact same problem! iPad 2, with iOS 8 upgrade which crippled my iPad 2 !!!!
I am looking for a fix without reading through so many pages of problems, so thanks you for posting everything so completely. I have tried all those "fixes" too and nothing has worked. I also want to downgrade to the previous iOS which operated well for me.
it is embarrassing for Apple, since they just announced new hardware, they want us all to shell out more money, huh?
no fix for us?
I will look through these pages, but I doubt anything has been solved, I've been reading about trying to find a fix for over a week to no avail.
thanks for posting your complaint/problem as you were very articulate about the problem.
I also can not copy and paste. (Old clipboard keeps showing up.)
apps crash.
safari and Chrome browser are equally slow, unresponsive, hang.
crash to black screen. Crash to white screen.
lots of problems.
(edited to fix some typos which is hard since the keyboard overlays what I am typing.)

Slow wifi issue iOS 8.0.2 on iPhone 6!

Restarting the phone "temprarily" fixes the problem.
Upgraded to iOS 8.1. The problem didn't go away but became less frequent.

How do I make an app running in the background appear in the dock?

I've tried searching the rest of the web, but all I can find is how to pin an app to the dock. I already know how to do that.
What I want to do is make an app that doesn't appear even when it's running (my specific case is SugarSync) appear as an icon in the dock. I know I can get to it by either clicking or right-clicking on the mini icon on the right side of the menu bar, but I want to be able to switch to it using the dock or open-apple+tab, like I can with everything else.

It depends on the data path from the tower you're using, through NATs and many routers, all the way back to the server. Which depends on your current location and sheer luck.
For some users, the data path stays alive for 30-45 minutes at a time... thus the phone only has to ping the server that often for push to work. Their push doesn't use much battery.
Other users have the misfortune of being connected via pathways that only keep a connection alive for 5-10 minutes. Their iPhones eat battery like crazy, and they usually end up switching to a 15-30 minute timed fetch instead.

[Applescript] How do i make a script: "open a safari website - do something - something else - etc", run in the background before presenting the final result to the user?

I've made a script that does a certain "log in process". It opens a safari website-> does some actions -> opens a new website -> does some actions.
I dont want to "open" the final safari website before the script has ended.

The only way to do it, and even that doesn't always work, is by using a script. The basic code to use is:
app.launchURL("http://www.google.com", true);
The second parameter tells the browser to open the link in a new window.

How do I stop apps running on my iPhone to save the battery?

Finder crashes with OS 10.6.8. With or without any apps running finder will hang repeatedly causing the iMac to hang also. I upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 recently and finder was OK for 1 week. How do I submit a crash log?

Folllowing an upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Finder frequently hangs, causing any open apps and the iMac to hang. This will occur whether or not any 3rd party apps or Safari are open. About 50% of the time trying to empty the trash will cause a finder hang. There are no error messages to let me know what code such a hang may be. Repeated attempts to force quit the iMac always fail, so I have to hard crash using the power button. Multiple attempts are required to successfully restart via the login screen. I do not know whether any other apps, such as Safari or screen saver may be involved. I think a crash log would help, however I am not sure whether I should look in: useres/library/logs/DaiagnosticReports or : users/library/logs/CrashReporter, and whether I should attempt to open the latest in either in Console or Text edit and then post here. Also, is this the appropriate site to post a log in the hope that Apple may look at it? I have read through threads on Apple finder, and am stunned to find that after all these OS-X versions finder is still buggy and inferior to MS Explorer and Apple appears to be in denial. Maybe their efforts are in devices such as iPhones and iPads? Ths issue never occured in OS 10.5.8.
