Apple’s new iOS 8.1.2
update is now live for all versions of the iPhone, iPad and iPod
touch running iOS 8 and while it doesn’t come with new features it
does come with some fixes for iOS 8 problems. It’s also causing
some problems for select iPhone and iPad users.
Let's take a look at some
of the iOS 8.1.2 problems that have popped up and some of the
problems that have the potential to pop up for iOS 8.1.2 users in the
future.
How to Fix iOS 8.1.2 Installation Problems
One of the initial iOS
8.1.2 problems that we’re seeing relates to the installation
process. It’s not server issues troubling iPhone and iPad users,
it’s an inability to get the update installed after the download
process begins. This is an issue that plagues just about every iOS
update and it appears that a few people are running into this issue
right off the bat with iOS 8.1.2. Fortunately, there’s an easy fix
for the issue.
If the iPhone or iPad gets
stuck during the iOS 8.1.1 installation, users will want to perform a
hard reset by holding down the power button and home button at the
same time for a few seconds until the device restarts. This typically
gets the update’s juices flowing again. If it doesn’t continue
automatically, it may simply start over.
How to Fix iOS 8.1.2 Battery Life Problems
Per usual, we’re seeing
complaints about battery life after the iOS 8.1.2 release. This isn’t
unusual, we always see complaints about abnormal drain or various
other issues after Apple releases a new iOS update.
There are a number of
things that iPhone and iPad owners can try should a device start
experiencing heavy battery drain after the iOS 8.1.2 installation or
in the days and weeks after the installation process completes.
Battery life issues won’t necessarily pop up right at the start and
will often times emerge in the days, weeks and months after an
update’s arrival.
While there are a ton of
things that users recommend, we think there are several key fixes
that iPhone and iPad owners should try. These fixes range from small
settings tweaks to changes in your daily use. All of them have the
potential to fix bad iOS 8.1.2 battery life and we highly recommend
looking at them before performing a hard reset.
How to Fix iOS 8.1.2 App Issues
As we’ve noted in our
reviews, app performance is strong with iOS 8.1.2 on board. That
said, there’s always a chance that some users will encounter
difficulties with apps after making the move.
iPhone and iPad users
can’t rely on iOS updates for app fixes. Instead, users will need
to rely on third-party developers (the makers of the app) and some
useful changes to bad habits.
First, make sure
applications on the iPhone or iPad are updated. Bug fixes and app
updates with support for iOS 8 have been trickling out since launch.
iPhone and iPad users who are forgetful or lazy will want to turn on
automatic App Store updates because it will keep apps automatically
behind the scenes. Auto updates will ensure that they are always on
the latest version with the latest bug fixes. To do that, head into
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Toggle Updates on.
