Did you select set up as a new phone or restore from a backup

I had all kinds of problems like this until i just bit the bullet and did it clean slate, and i haven't had a single performance issue since. Not a single reboot, nothing. The regular iOS11 gripes are still there but nothing truly awful like this

It's a bit like doing a clean install when you order a new laptop right after you take it out of the box. It's usually a good call, even if it's a bit of a hassle

I had this issue, restore it and set it up "as a new phone" then manually reinstall your apps. the backup-restore process introduces all kinds of crappy issues

Did you restore from a backup or "setup as new"? the latter is the only real way to get rid of issues like this

No, it only checks the battery state. I'm suspicious it runs off the battery even when plugged in, and works like power>charge controller>battery>power management>system rather than power>power management>system when plugged in(or "plugged in" to a case). An iphone usually wont boot with no battery

the link died really fast

Having used both side by side, the desktop butterfly keyboards are markedly different from the mobile ones. They don't even seem to use the same switches or tech. I have the newest version of both

Honestly i've been annoyed since touchid came out that i couldn't set some things to 2FA, as in pin+biometric

For what it's worth, i've tried it with 6 or so pairs of sunglasses and have yet to have it fail. Including mirrored ones, and fancy polarized higher end ones

I looked into this recently and a lot of apps mentioned here, like premiere, don't even support offloaded rendering now

Yes, seriously

in my experience a/b testing shazam just has a way, way bigger database. It would easily identify really obscure stuff like 1970s Arabic psych rock or disco even if it wasn't even available in US online stores, and wasn't ever sold here. Same goes for gracenote, and the other systems that tried the same shtick

the database is the golden goose here, not the algorithm. it's similar to what made grooveshark more fun than spotify

>Bullshit. Smart watches with better features, better hardware and better battery life have existed for a long while now. The iwatch is good, but not better than any other comparable watch out there, hardware-wise.

What other brands full featured, actual app ecosystem smartwatch is the form factor of the 38mm apple watch? Which of them have LTE even as an option? It's smaller than some of the fitbit type trackers, even.

You can gripe over other things about it, but no one else makes a _small_ smartwatch like it that isn't severely limited in some way

i've found it absolutely will not complete(especially photos) unless a charger is connected to the device. this completely stumped me with a fully charged phone recently

they need to add a "keep going anyways" button, or a prompt to plug in like the watch has

It runs linux natively. Even if android stops getting updates, you can update that as long as you like

This was completely corrected in software in the next big OS release. It was HORRENDOUS at launch though. It's smooth as butter on the latest version, with the same hardware. Machine runs cooler too

I'm on the same machine and i feel exactly the same way. It's been used hard for years and actually works BETTER now than when i bought it, with software updates(mountain lion was... questionable). The battery is still healthy, and it still tackles anything i throw at it.

Why would i upgrade to in many ways a crappier computer?

I'm hoping with the new mac pro we get a real macbook pro again. And i'm coming at this from the same place, i've used all different platforms. But this is the best laptop i've ever owned, and my favorite since my old T60. It was the first one that really felt like it not just checked every box, but filled out every corner.

I know a lot of really experienced bartenders, waitstaff, etc and was in the industry for years. No one you'd want to hire would work at a place that didn't do cash tips, unless we're talking super duper fine dining black tie stuff. And possibly even then.

EDIT: I've also known of places that switched to cashless have all their good staff quit, and be stuck with only completely useless people

My obnoxious solution to this after restoring a backup multiple times: delete all your apps, and reinstall them. This ALMOST fixed it.

It's a pathetic solution, but it worked when nothing else would including "set up as a new phone". The apps had to break, then be deleted and reinstalled a second time, to finally work.

The other issues with 11 remain however.

I have an X right here, and it usually rests on my desk. It will unlock from a VERY oblique angle, way beyond what i expected it to be able to handle. The only failures i've gotten with the scanner were when a pillow was covering part of my face and i was in bed. Basically any position that i can reasonably read the display from that isn't a joke or a test will unlock the device if i'm glancing at it.

I have some complaints about the device, but this feature rocks as far as i'm concerned

Yea, clearly these people have never supported dell laptops in an office environment. I have more dead bricks than i can mail back, especially from older machines. Fail in the exact same way as the apple ones

Honestly i really wish they could decouple iOS from device launches the way they have with MacOS. Do a point release, sure, but it should just be baked on a completely different schedule.

The ridiculous thing is they do this with the ipad, and they've even done it with the phones in the past for certain versions

iOS 11 before 11.1 was worse than iOS 4 on the iphone 3G

Seriously. Even though that was super laggy, it had less issues and i never had to hard reboot my phone. At least you could press the home button and bail on things.

Seriously? Even before the macbook pro GPU issues, the very first gen models had like... 10 hardware revisions because of how many issues they had. I know some people who went through 4 machines before they got one that lasted.

This also leaves out the second gen white macbook issues with the bottoms falling off and failed motherboards, and so many other things. Although i could definitely dredge up more G3-G4 era stuff that wasn't mentioned(tons of tibook issues, other ibook g3/g4 issues not mentioned, failing imac g3 power supplies/displays in huge batches, imac GPU failures in the first few c2d generations, core duo imac display failures, etc)

I remember there being huge online discussions about these issues. A number of them generated tons of pissed off people online, and apple was resistant to fixing a lot of them at first or would only do it on a case by case basis until it became overwhelming.

weirdly, i regularly had or witnessed the messages issue in iOS 9 and 10, but haven't seen it once on 11(on a 5S, 6, and 6S+ both sides). That's been fixed for me since 11.0

I wonder why some of these are so ridiculously inconsistent

On a related note with the watch, try making a call using the watch as a speakerphone.

I know a lot of people hate this feature, but i use it all the time while driving. It will literally, every time, connect the call then go to "call failed" after 5~ seconds. This is completely reproducible on my parents and roommates S0's even after a pair/unpair(which is to my understanding the closest you can get to a "restore")

I've also gotten this to completely lock up the watch at the 'call failed' screen a few times, too

Black elements absolutely burned in on the S7 edge my work has for app testing. And this is a device that, obviously, isn't even anyone's daily phone, nor does it have any reason to be "left on" for super long periods of time when it's not in someones hand. Those areas end up brighter than the rest of the screen, rather than darker. It's sort of a reverse ghosting.

I ran one of those "burn in fixer" solid color pattern apps for almost 24 hours(which i know have hit or miss efficacy) and it subdued it, but it's still very clearly visible.

that's an awful lot of lens distortion when they pan up/down still, it's honestly really distracting and takes away from the "seemless" effect quite a bit. randomly having fisheye effects that appear and disappear is more jarring than just having them at a constant level like most action cams

For a lot of people, including my own experience with multiple devices i have, this didn't help. If it did, it maybe made a 10% difference.

I can corroborate this MASSIVE lag on both a 6S+ and a 6 here, and additionally my friends 7+

I've done a complete restore/set up new/bla bla bla... didn't do much. I have to either reboot or hard reset my phone almost every day because apps(even system apps, like messages) will either lock the entire phone up or just all start freezing signalling that's about to occur.

My phone is in perfect condition hardware wise, with great battery health etc(like over 90%). The battery runs down as fast as my 6 that had a defective battery apple replaced under that recall program. I was seriously debating keeping this phone for another six months at least, but if 11.1 doesn't fix it it's going on craigslist.

This is just hilariously inexcusable, it's almost ios 4 on the iphone 3G bad. Like my phone is pretty bad, but my roommates 6 will literally sit for yea, 10+ seconds waiting for the camera to actually be "ready". There's also random ENORMOUS lag when shooting photos/before tap to focus works/etc.

In washington you have to wait, a long time, for a clerk to come over and check your id and unlock the checkout machine. it's obnoxious

Anecdote, but Cash is just as popular as Venmo among my friends/acquaintances/colleagues(mid-late 20s, pacific northwest). Everyone has both installed because you never know who's going to prefer which one or just happen to open that one first.
