ios9 is AWFUL

PProblems faced on my ipad 2 after putting in iOS 9

1. Keeps restarting (reboot) .. even after Hard reset ...

2. Battery charge jumps from 8% off and on .. 50% .. Off and on .. 100% .. Off and on 3%

3. Unable to charge .. Stuck at 3%

4. Unable to revert back to old iOS

HELP!!!!!

If a reset does not fix it (holding down Home and Power button for at least 15 seconds until Apple Logo reappears) then I would say you are looking at a hardware issue. Take it in to be looked at. If it were an iOS9 issue then many many millions would be complaining and not just a handful here in a users forum.

I have a few issues as well - its not just the older iPhones. I have an iPhone 6 128gb, less than a year old with pretty minimal usage if I'm honest.

Since updating to iOS9 I have noted a few things that are really annoying and to be honest, ruining the iPhone experience, a few of the main issues annoying me are:

- Lag: swiping between screen. Swipe to unlock. Lock screen camera short-cut all affected by irritating lag/freezing.

-Opening apps: including apps that are optimised for iOS9, I open some and there is a black screen for a few seconds before it will actually open. I've never had that in any other iPhone or iOS before.

- Camera: All modes seem to be affected like this: when i press the shutter button to take a picture, its stalls a bit, sometimes even showing the little 'load' animation on the shutter button itself. The pictures I'm taking are nothing special in good conditions. Panorama pictures are now affected by a really strange 'flickering' is all I can describe it as...it's reminiscent of the effect you get when filming a computer screen or similar - if you know what I mean.

- Spotlight search: often doesn't work correctly when I swipe down on my screen, sometimes the keyboard shows up in landscape as opposed to portrait (?). Also, the home screen behind sometimes doesn't get blurred out.

- Battery: So I work 9-5:30 and I use my phone minimally through out the time I'm at work, maybe for 30/40 minutes or so whilst I'm on my lunch and that will only be for replying to messages, i typically use my computer for things like FB, e-mail etc. When I had iOS8 id would usually end the working day (5.30pm) on about 85 - 90%%. Since iOS9 update, with the same usage, same settings it now drops to around 75% with no extra usage. Further more, the power savng mode, IMO, really does jack.

- Internet connectivity: iOS9 has somehow really effected the internet connectivity on my phone. When at home all my other devices work just fine, no problem but my iPhone with ince getting the update - constantly drops connection.

Just thought id share my frustration, after all, I'm English and love a good moan 🙂

Read my post above.

I am having the exact problems you are having on four different devices. Seriously doubt they all coincidentally had hardware failures at the same time. Hopefully a fix is in the works.

Tell Apple

None of my devices or anyone I know has a single issue.

Try some basic troubleshooting.

Reset and than restore.

Hi Jonathan, agreed, these issues seem limited to a very small handful of users. I have seen no issues with any devices running iOS9.0.2 here and that is speaking on behalf of over 60 devices just being used at the Studios, let alone family and friends (yes I do have them 🙂) So obviously these issue are rare and it's difficult to advise these individuals who just refuse to take their devices in to be looked at.

Good grief, iOS 9 has even been blamed for ruining someone's Selfie Stick

That is my favourite post of the week. Next it will be causing iPhones to bend that didn't bend under iOS8!!!! 😝

Yes, it’s generally been a dreadful release — even for folks like myself who use an iPhone 6+. But it’s especially bad for folks who have older Macs, like I do. That’s because if you plan on backing up your iPhone 6+ running iOS 9.0.1 or 9.0.2 to iTunes 11.4 on a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.8, you will discover that your iPhone no longer will communicate with your Mac. At that point, your iPhone 6+ is totally orphaned from iTunes. The only recourse to this fugly problem is that you have to upgrade your Mac to at least 10.8.5. Ugh. That’s not for me. I’m going not going to do that because the legacy programs that comfortably work in 10.6.8 on my iMac no longer will run on Mac OS X > 10.6.8 if I upgrade. It’s a classic Catch-22.

And, oh, did I mention that if you go to iOS 9.0.1 or 9.0.2, Apple won’t tell you in advance that your iPhone will be orphaned? No, Apple doesn’t. Surprise, surprise. Shame, Apple, shame.

You have choices. Exercise them to your satisfaction.
