iOS 8.4 slow wake on iPad Air 2

After upgrading to iOS 8.4, I noticed that there is a 1-2 second delay before the screen turns on after waking it up. This generally happens if my iPad has been locked for a few minutes and I'm certain that this wasn't present in iOS 8.3. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? I'm going to submit a bug report to Apple, but wanted to reach out to the community first...

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

iPad Air 2 under iOS 8.4 and wake is instantaneous here, whether from the sleep/wake switch or Smart Cover.

You sure put in the overtime to uncover this one. Sorry I can't award you points. Actually I can, if you get 5 this helped me by readers you get a gold star when possible. Let me give you one here and I'll go over to the other post and see what I can do there.

Enjoy the rest of the Fourth. Isn't their a Dodger game you could be watching ?

Yes, Reduce Motion enabled (no parallax effect) is what causes the screen rotation issue. Having it off (parallax effect present), there is no rotational issue.

Darn, read it wrong again. I'm testing now. I turned on Reduce Motion and I will give the iPad a few minutes to sleep.


Wishing both you and Demo (and all others here that celebrate) a Happy 4th as well. I've already BBQ'd our burgers & hotdogs...and myself as well. SoCal summer heat stinks. Fireworks will likely be viewed in HD tonight, in the comfort of our home.

😁

Our partying is over for the day as well.


We took a trip to the Pittsburgh Zoo today with my wife's sister and her husband and checked out the new additions to the place. We love the zoo and its one of the great treasures of our wonderful city. After the trip to the zoo, we had dinner out. We let someone else do the BBQ-ing this year. Fittingly enough, we ate at a restaurant called Carnivore's which is a local sports bar that is located pretty close to where we live. The ladies have had enough for the day, so we will just be hanging out at home now. I can hear the kids in the neighborhood setting off firecrackers and the like as I sit here typing away. I will probably head out to my back deck, turn on the TV and catch the fireworks for the capitol.


Checking on the iPad now ....Wow, you hit the nail on the head SergZak. With Reduce Motion enabled, the iPad will not rotate either coming out of sleep. I turned it off in the settings, and after tapping the home button, the screen rotates again. Great investigative work. I wish I had points to award you as well. We should all file bug reports using SergZak's findings.


Sorry to all of you other folks for hijacking the thread with our tales of 4th of July celebrations. Enjoy the rest of the holiday everyone!!!

Seems to be an iOS 8.4 bug or maybe it's "by design" now for some odd reason...who knows. I've not found anything to alleviate the issue other than using a Smart Cover/Smart Case (magnetically triggered wake). In this case, there is no wake delay.


BTW, for those interested, the sleep time required before the delayed (~one second) wake will occur is 15 - 20 seconds. Waiting any longer than that is just wasting your time. 😉

in fact ipad air 2 has become really slow .

so much money for a product that is really slow after ios 8.4.

i cannot right anywhere, even here it makes big stops when i type words.can somebody please explain why this is happening?the biggest problem for me is the keyboard,it has been very difficult to right on any webpage,twitter ...., the touch screen is also not the same responsive.i have to touch most of the times two or three times the screen to respond.

I Too am experiencing the wake up delay. (Following the 8.4 update)

This is rather frustrating and concerns me greatly as this was how my 4s problems started. Every update seemed to hack away at the operating speed of my phone. Got to the point where I bought a brand new 4s, only to realise it's the operating system that's at fault.....


I Went all out on my Air 2 - full metal jacket with 128gb, I sincerely hope this isn't going to be another repeat of history.... Updates
