Q: safari iOS 8.1 freeze and slow

I feel like we will have to do a massive deployment with an iOS 7 downgrade if this isn't fixed soon.

How do you downgrade to iOS 7 when Apple is not signing that version any more?

Should that happen, I can't even quantify the impact of spending hundreds of man hours and the loss of productivity from our end users.

Are you evaluating iOS 8.1.1 right now?

Just an update: I thought I wasn't experiencing the issue on my iPhone 6 Plus, but I am. So, on both my iPad Air and iPhone 6 Plus, I am unable to click links unless I zoom in. The zoom on my iPhone is set to standard.

Bugs and minor issues I can handle. Fundamental flaws of the type being reported by hundreds of people is inexcusable. I fail to understand how these issues were not picked up in any testing phases.

The fact that I can't have an option to roll back to iOS 7 is also a shambolic decision by Apple.

You carry on defending Apple to the hilt though.

Hundreds of of people and even thousands of people is not significant compared to close to HALF A BILLION users. That doesn't mean that Apple won't help a handful of people, because Apple will, regardless of how small it is. It's just that the larger group of users is not going to be too concerned about it.

Why should Apple do what they have never been done, from the beginning iPhone and the iOS?

This hasn't been a big issue for me ... as I've seen it once in a while. But I found that a link would respond again just by moving the window up or down by the tiniest amount.

The Safari issues seem to affect not only the older iPad 2 but also my family's newer devices as well (iPhone 6, 5S, 5C, iPad mini), to varying degrees on each of them. This is definitely a disaster of serious magnitude no matter how much cheerleading and repetition of only partially effective advice various users list here (and it's useless trying to reason with them, so don't even try).

Personally, I have stopped wasting countless hours trying and re-trying the various suggested reset/restore/chant/burn incense actions, and now I'm waiting for iOS 8.1.1 to see if Apple will come up with the real fixes that it continues to not even acknowledge as necessary. If iOS 8.1.1 doesn't provide the necessary fixes, I'll look to alternative providers.

One thing I have discovered through experimentation when stuck in absurd situations (keyboard lags,,,watching letters appear seconds later in slo-mo, page freezes, uncontrolled page refreshes with the message that it encountered an error and the result that an entire paragraph entry field gets blow off, etc, etc.) is to close all other tabs before you begin typing into a paragraph entry box. So far, by doing this, I'm able to complete the entry without significant typing lag and no freezing or auto refresh. Let me know if this suggestion helps anyone else.

You'll have to reason with the users who have found those measures to be 100% effective for them ... :-) ...

Didn't work for me and still much slower than IOS 7.

How are you connected to Apple ?

You seem to continually appear to defend Apple and dismiss people's problems in a passive agressive way :-)

Can you please stop e mails, I believe we got the answer our son was searching for.

Thank you.

Sent from my iPad.

I don't send e-mails ... the discussion forum software does. You have to make the adjustments from within your own account here.

The same way you are connected to Apple ... :-) ...

No one's problems have been dismissed. You see, if someone tells you that they are offering some solutions ... THAT is a very CLEAR SIGN that they think you have a problem ... :-) ...

Bit you do dismiss every post that still has a problem after your informative solutions list, why is that :-)

my only connection to Apple is my slower now running IOS 8 ipad 2 :-(

Your question is similar to a question in a different subject area ... just for an example of what you are doing here.

Someone says to you ... "You keep beating your wife, why is that :-) ?"

You'll probably come back with (assuming you have a wife) ... "I don't beat my wife!" ... LOL ...

LIkewise here, I don't dismiss that there is a problem, but I do see others dismissing that there is EVEN a "fix" that users can do (and have done) and have gotten their iPads working just fine.

AND ... as I have said many times, there is no ONE FIX that will take care of "all problems" but a variety of fixes, because there are a variety of problems, although only with a very very small number of users as compared to the entire installed user base.

I have told some of those users that say something didn't work for them to KEEP AT IT until they do have the fix. That's how you do it.

He can dismiss away but at least some Apple representatives are now acknowledging that there is a significant issue that is affecting an appreciable number of devices.  My visit to the shop resulted in an apology and good advice; don't waste anymore time adjusting settings, wait for 8.1.1 and restore this from factory settings.

Where have I dismissed that there are problems that we address on this "users helping other users" forum?

You seem to miss the significance of the FACT that if someone "offers a solution" they have acted as if there is a problem by that very "offering" of a solution.

I see that simple logic escapes you ... LOL ...
