December 2 "respring" Clock/Reminder restarting/overheating iPhone bug

"Best viable workaround is to turn off third-party notifications. If you’re not sure which apps employ local, repeating notifications, turn them all off."

From this article linked by MacSchr:

December 2nd is making some iPhones soft reset

I'm sure Apple will release an official fix soon.

"If you cannot disable your notifications, then temporarily roll back your date and time to 1 week ago, this will enable you to disable your notifications and then you can return to the current date and time without glitches."

Also

• Disable Background App Refresh (Settings > General)
• Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings (use as last resort, or just wait for a fix and play outside)

Failing that, a drastic solution is as follows and it's always a good idea to do a backup:

I've been suggesting this in other discussions if Reset All Settings doesn't work.

First backup:

How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch(Document Type: Document) Nov 30, 2017 Before you get started, learn the difference between iCloud and iTunes backups, then choose the method that's best for you. If you need an alternative backup, you can make one in iCloud and another in iTunes.https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977

Then restore:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup(Document Type: Document) Nov 7, 2017 Restore from an iCloud backup Restore from an iTunes backup https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204184

You will need to know your iPhone/iPad pin number and your Apple ID/password to do it. It's a full restore, but will end up the same as before hopefully without the December 2 2017 Oceania Bug.

iOS 11.2 is now available.

Settings > General > Update

You might need to use some of the below steps to stabllize your phone first to do the update.

N.B. For countries not yet affected please note this problem occurs at 12:15AM (00:15UTC) on December 2nd 2017, therefore it first became a problem in countries like NZ and AU in Oceania and then Asia.

Ok that's unusual, have you ever gotten updates showing up before they were announced before?

Plus I believe that iOS 11.2 was only pushed forward to today as an emergency because of the soft restart issue.

Otherwise it might not have been released until after beta 5 was finished, maybe a week or two.

Well it's been pushed forward since the new Apple Payment system is part of the update but isn't online yet.

This was a rushed job simply because of the 12:15 crash bug.

Can't think of how or why you got an advanced update of 11.2...

That's weird... there was 11.1.1 and 11.1.2 after 11.1. Maybe it was one of those.

For reference you will see this if you're having the "respring" bug.
