Serious bugs and problems on iOS 9.2

Maybe this will help with the issues at hand, plus stop the argument over whether the bugs are software or hardware related. I have not moved to 9.2 yet. As a new iPhone user but very long time Android user and tweaker I learned never take a new update immediately. Wait a few days and read the forums.

I Have a problem when I reply to chatting from lock screen after I post my reply some kind of keyboard still in place after accessing from lock screen

Is your phone jailbroken?

Hi Lawrence

I work for a Telecoms company in the UK and a customer of mine had stumped me with his iPhone 6 Plus update to iOS 9.2

He did the update OTA and now he gets the Hello screen, slide to complete. Adds the password for his iTunes account, clicks next and then it asks if he wants to use find my iPhone as he clicks next it loops back to the Hello screen and keeps doing that. I have told him to put the phone into recovery mode, but iTunes isn't finding the phone. Any suggestions please?

Hi

Turn iphone off

Make sure PC is running latest itunes 12.3.1

Connect USB lead to your pc

Press & hold power button down DONT let go on iPhone .

Connect lead to iphone keep power button pressed down until PC sees iphone.

Then wait for restore you may need to do this more than once before it works .

Cheers

If you do that, do you lose any current data on your phone?

And is it helping to get the freezing away?

About the symptoms:

Now I keep on resetting my iPhone by holding the power and home button simultaneously, sometimes it is going to freeze within minutes, and sometimes it takes a few days. And when I get into an app soon after restart, it looks like I can move and scroll still, but leaving it will bring the Phone also to a freeze.

And above all, when in freeze, my Assitive Touch button keeps on reacting (opening and moving over the screen), but does not react when pressing one of the buttons.

Looks like a memory problem or conflict handling the apps...

Hi Briansyddall,

I have told the customer to do this and fingers crossed it is working!! I will see when he calls me back. But thank you for your help.

You lose all data on your phone. You can restore it from your iCloud or iTunes backup, however.

Is your phone jailbroken? Those are symptoms common on jailbroken phones.

Hi Lawrence,

No, my iPhone has not been Jailbroken. It all occurred immediately after installing 9.2.

Funny things also:

After reset, when the icons show, it takes longer in time before my badge-icon shows for my messages.

Indicating a freeze soon.

And when it appears reasonably fast, it takes longer to freeze.

Other funny thing when I know that a freeze will come up soon is that my keyboard doesn't show, e.g. when I am in an edit mode (but, the screen part there IS sensitive, so you can type 'blind').

Having the same issues, there is no solution. I've tried everything out there. I can't believe how terrible this update has been. Worst on a phone I can remember.

Same here. Graphic problems. Real Racing 3 app problems. Upgraded from 8.4.1 to 9.2.

XchgAdm55 is right.

A C&P is appropriate here...

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...

Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod/iPhone and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod/iPhone. Again, say "yes."

At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod/iPhone. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.

If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.
