Q: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgrade

I can happily report that after having some of the longest open ticket holders install 8.1.1, that I have closed out quite a few.  We're down to 395.

6 of them had already resolved the issue by replacing their devices, but had not told me until I emailed them about the update.

 

It is my hope that by the end of the week, we will have almost all of them closed out. 

 

I'll post a follow-up once something exciting happens....

I'm down to 241 open tickets.       So far, so good.....

That's a huge reduction in 24hrs.  ALL of my oldest tickets are now closed.  The first people who reported problems when upgrading to 8.0.0 are resolved enough to close the tickets.  

It's important to note that I'm up to 23 who's tickets could have been closed earlier - they replaced those devices and didn't bother letting me know.

Importantly noted.

Thanks

So, the problem that was supposed to be 'user related' has been fixed by Apple?    I said you were 'holding it wrong!'

No. There are still people having the same issues as before the update, which seems to lead to out of date Apps, Hardware issues or just poor maintenance. No one ever said the problems with iOS8 and iPad2 were user related. Have you never seen an update before? So what help are you actually providing with your post? The usual non technical ranting, trolling, flaming rubbish as in most of your replies?

I was just being silly, hence the tongue sticking out emote.

'Star Traveller' was always suggesting that if it one iPad was OK then they should ALL be OK.

Which in theory, is a sound suggestion, but it didn't appear to work out like that for many people, including whole IT departments it seems.

I've noticed an improvement with the latest patch, input forms are still a bit buggy and slow, compared with previous versions. But I'm quite happy with the update apart from that. I just have to remember to quit the apps I'm not using.

No, it's not really. People who make such claims are not looking at the overall picture.

It has worked for many people, but not all. I agree. There will be factors involved that will affect some people's ability to run their older hardware with newer software, and hardware is having less of a shelf life than ever before. Sad but that is 'technical progress' I presume.

Glad there has been some improvement for you, and quitting open programs not in use has always been a good practice.

 

Cheers

And that shows you don't read very well.

In all my discussions on that issue (and I've said it on various threads), this is an ABSOLUTE and WITHOUT QUESTION ... if one understands the principal behind "mass production". It's that if you produce a device (whatever it is ... car, refrigerator, TV, desktop computer or mobile device) ... if ONE PARTICULAR MODEL works a certain way, they ALL will work the exact same way, aside from "factory defects" (of which quality control should get rid of before getting to the public).

It's THIS PRINCIPLE (and "LAW" if you will) which allows reviewers to take just ONE DEVICE ALONE, test it and tell 10 MILLION OTHER USERS exactly how it's going to work for them. That's why auto magazines can take one or two cars, test them and write up an article telling ALL THE BUYERS how "this car" is going to work! That's how Consumer Reports is going to take one or two refrigerators and tell a MILLION other owners exactly what they can expect from this refrigerator.

And ... THAT is EXACTLY WHY you can take jist ONE iPAD MODEL and restored to  factory fresh condition with identical software and tell 10 MILLION other users of that ONE MODEL exactly what their own iPad can do!

If you don't understand THAT, you have absolutely no concept of what "mass production" is all about and why it's a tremendous success in our society today!

To quote me further, I said "Which in theory, is a sound suggestion".

So I agree with you, and you didn't read what I said.

But what if they sit the fridge upside down?

You're just lucky that I've been down with this Ebola-like flu ... :-) ... or else I would have been more on this thread in the last few days ... LOL ...

In fact, I only just got the chance to install iOS 8.1.1 ... and did so without any problems. I did it over the air, and "on top of" the last one, iOS 8.1. I've done every update for iOS 8 except for the one that was out for only two hours before being pulled. I've had a few minor glitches, but nothing major and nothing that I was worried about and nothing that slowed me down or affected my normal operation.

The vast and overwhelming majority of the installed user base is having no problems at all. What we're dealing with here is simply a small minority. It will all get solved in the end.

Do not ever - ever joke about Ebola!

That's not merely a "suggestion" ... what I'm saying is that it's "ABSOLUTE" ... or else you might as well forget everything you know about "mass production".

This is, of course, off-topic, but in reality I had all the "symptoms" of Ebola, except one ... :-) ... which should tell you that medical professionals are going to have one heck of a time separating out true Ebola from a bad case of flu ... and we're going straight into flu season now. And what I'm saying is no joke, as they really are going to have hard time really differentiating between these two things.

And that is a valid point ... :-)

Everybody knew what I meant though, it's logical. I don't even think Component Failure percentages would make a difference.
