IOS 11.2.5 issues

It is a normal prompt, unless you’ve modified your iOS (jailbreak). If you were infected, which rarely happens unless you hit a really bad site. All hacking, phishing, and infections happen inside your browser window, they are self contained. For example they would not be inside your iOS desktop or inside an apple approved app or game. If you were infected the infection would sit in your browser cache and is easily cleaned out as soon as you empty your cache. If you are using Safari you would go to Settings and then Safari and it is referred to as “clear history and website data”;

Typically this prompt happens if you haven’t finished your setup, such as setup of a passcode on your screen or setup of your payment. You would be able to tell though by going into setting and then above the Airplane mode there would be a red dot and it would have an extra box saying finish setting up. If not you might try going through you passcode settings by going to Setting then to “Touch ID & Passcode”.

The Last safe Resort, if you’re like me you’ve been through several iOS upgrades. Sometimes settings from old iOS don’t get settled in the dirt right with inside the new iOS. You can easily resolve this by resetting all the settings and just go back in the settings area and setup your preferences. You’d be surprised how many issues get resolved with this.

This is done by going into Settings then General then onto Reset. Now this is the *Important part clicking “reset settings” will only reset your settings, no data is lost from your device, other options will remove your data. After clicking reset settings the device restarts and then you will need your Wi-Fi password handy unless you are on a data plan. Then just go into your settings area and start checking through from top to bottom that all your settting are set where you want to them.

Hope this gives you some insight and answers, sorry about the grammar I am just now drinking my morning coffee and just getting my own gears running... 🙂

Have you tried going into setting under iTunes and App Store click on you Apple ID choose Sign out and then log back in with your Apple ID & password.

Hate to rain on the parade but I saw on Forbes tonight:

”iOS 11.2.5 upgraders suffering from *deep breath* lockscreen issues (carried over from the betas), ringtone and phone bugs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), devices not booting/opening (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), performance drops (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), camera crashes, adaptor dropouts, Apple Watch pairing problems, degraded WiFi, missing docks, CarPlay issues with Ford and Skoda (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).”

with the flood I’m seeing I expect an 11.2.5.1 shortly hopefully. One user advised they called Apple and was advised they would have to wait for the next release for a fix. 11.3 has been rumored to be released in a couple of weeks. I have been instructing a lot of people to sync up and use iTunes to roll back to the previous signed firmware for their device.

I am not a tech or an official just one user pitching in my two cents 🙂

Have you done a network settings reset yet? Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Sometimes when you have too many Wi-Fi hotspot keys stored it gets flaky until you wipe them off. (Also when posting please state type and generation of device) Thanks 🙂

I am having the same issue after updating to 11.2.5.I tried resetting(factory reset under Setting-General-Reset)) my iphone and restored it through iTunes as well. However problem persist even after doing so.I contacted apple support and was told that it could be software glitches that could be fixed in later update.Looking forward for next update...

If you sync up with iTunes you can always download previouslay signed iOS versions and rollback to the previous 11.2 , 11.2.1 , or 11.2.2 it won’t take long before they issue either a 11.2.5.1 or 11.3 in two weeks is slated for release.

Check two things on notifications per app you want notified on set to “alert” instead banner. Others report this happening when “do not disturb” schedule setting are engaged. And if anyone finds this stuff helpful please give my comments a little tap on the helpful button please. I’m new to the support community and need the points to be creditable...Thanks

I can only comment on the Music bar showing even without music playing now. That is indeed part of iOS 11.2.5 and not a bug.

I agree on the issues for me it probably started around iOS 10.3.1. They started running into hardware over heating issues, battery drainage, and then they stunted the speed to compensate. The issues are so critical they are pushing out betas before they're solid. They are more concerned of meeting calendar dates and bringing out features to compete with competition rather then making a more solid, lighter weight operating system. This new battery health app they are talking about introducing in 11.3 that is “suppose to fix all issues” has me up on the line. How is it I have a new device because you forced me to upgrade due to slowness and now I have a bad health battery. I don’t think so this is just a strategy to sale they’re “discounted” $80 batteries. And Dario I agree at times that’s why I do have iPads, Pods..etc but where it counts I have an Android phone for a reason, the os is Linux based solid, lightweight, quick, but it is too open for exploits and hacks.

Found out what causing the problem the senior above the speaker when it cover phone won’t light up when phone in my pocket I get a text phone won’t light up when I got my phone lying face up on desk I get a text phone light up I looked it up people say this is a new feature to save battery

Hi, about iOS 11.2.5 problems I have a big one. I bought a used iphone 6S Plus 32GB at eBay (still warranty) and I received it with 11.1.2 iOS. Before installing all my apps I updated it to 11.2.5. Once done and I starded downloading my personal apps like GoogleMaps, Skype, Waze, etc... Then checking settings options I was not abble to see all this apps at cellular data settings, only system apps like Safary or weather, and going to the installed apps list at settings, each application did not have the option of data control. In a total of 20 installed apps, only one was abble to enable / disable data (Skype). It was very rare. After contacting Apple by chat and phone, they did not know what was going on. Finally I went to MacStore and they started doing all kinds of tests. They restored and reinstalled iOS many times, but nothing. They were aware of this problem because two other users in my city had a very similar problem, but they could be solved with them. There is nothing to do but wait to iOS 11.3 and waiting for it to be resolved, they tell me. Meanwhile, I do not know if applications are running out of data because I can not control them.

I have two suggestions, if the operating system does not manage data use, install a third party app like https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-data-manager-track-usage/id477865384?mt=8

Second read through this web page and make sure Wi-Fi assist is enabled. It has other suggestions too.

I have a different problem related to this upgrade. Now my iPad keeps dropping its wifi connection and forgetting the password. Every other connected device works fine. The exact same thing is happening to my partner who is ** 2000km away. His problems, started the same time, shortly after he did this upgrad. This is a bug that I’m surprised more people haven’t identified,yet.

I'm having a similar issue. When I put my iPhone 6 plus into sleep mode via sleep button, sometimes the phone won't come out of sleep mode. The screen is black but with the light on in the background and non responsive to anything. Have to use the sleep and home button to reboot the phone every time. Anyone having this happen or am i the only one?

So why is that? If you press the Play button it randomly selects 50 songs from your library. ***
